I Oihanaalii 23
1 I KA wa i elemakule ai o Davida, a he nui kona mau la, hoolilo iho la oia ia Solomona i alii no ka Iseraela.
When David was old and full of years, he installed his son Solomon as king over Israel.
2 Houluulu ae la ia i na'lii a pau o ka Iseraela, me na kahuna a me ka Levi.
Then he gathered all the leaders of Israel, as well as the priests and Levites.
3 A ua heluia na Levi mai ka makahiki he kanakolu a maluna ae: a o ko lakou helu ana ma ko lakou poo, i pakahiia kela kanaka keia kanaka, he kanakolukumamawalu tausani.
The Levites thirty years of age or older were counted, and the total number of men was 38,000.
4 He iwakaluakumamaha tausani o keia poe, he kokua ka lakou i ka hana o ko Iehova hale: a eono tausani, he poe ilamuku a me na lunakanawai lakou.
“Of these,” said David, “24,000 are to oversee the work of the house of the LORD, 6,000 are to be officers and judges,
5 A he poe kiaipuka na tausani eha: a eha tausani hoi i hoolea ia Iehova me na mea kani a'u i hana'i, i mea hoolea, [wahi a Davida.]
4,000 are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000 are to praise the LORD with the instruments I have made for giving praise.”
6 Puunaue mai la o Davida ia lakou i na papa mamuli o na keikikane a Levi, o Geresona, o Kohata, a o Merari.
Then David divided the Levites into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.
7 No ka Geresona, o Laadana a o Simei.
The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
8 O na keikikane a Laadana; o ka luna, o Iehiela, o Zetama, a o Ioela, ekolu.
The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all.
9 O na keikikane a Simei; o Selomita, o Haziela, a o Harana, ekolu. O lakou na luna o na makuakane na Laadana mai.
The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan.
10 A o na keikikane a Simei; o Iahata, o Zina, o Ieusa, a o Beria. O lakou eha na keikikane a Zimei.
And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.
11 A o Iahata ka luna, o Ziza ka lua: aka, aohe nui o na keikikane a Ieusa laua o Beria; nolaila, hookahi o ko laua helu pu ia'na, mamuli o ka ohana o ko laua makuakane.
Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were counted as one family and received a single assignment.
12 O na keikikane a Kohata; o Amerama, o Izehara, o Heberona, a o Uziela, eha.
The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all.
13 O na keikikane a Amerama; o Aarona a o Mose; ua hookaawaleia ae o Aarona, e hoolaa oia i na mea hoano loa, oia a me kona poe keikikane a mau loa aku, e kuni i ka mea ala imua o Iehova, e lawelawe nana, a e hoomaikai ma kona inoa a mau loa aku.
The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were set apart forever to consecrate the most holy things, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister before Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name forever.
14 A o Mose ke kanaka no ke Akua, ua heluia kana mau keikikane maloko o ka ohana a Levi.
As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
15 O na keikikane a Mose, o Geresoma a o Eliezera.
The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
16 O na keikikane a Geresoma, o Sebuela ka luna.
The descendants of Gershom: Shebuel was the first.
17 A o na keikikane a Eliezera, o Rehabia ka luna. Aohe keiki e ae a Eliezera: aka, he nui na keikikane a Rehabia.
The descendants of Eliezer: Rehabiah was the first. Eliezer did not have any other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous.
18 O na keikikane a Izehara; o Selomita ka luna.
The sons of Izhar: Shelomith was the first.
19 O na keikikane a Heberona; o Ieria ka mua, o Amaria ka lua, o Iahaziela ke kolu, a o Iekameama ka ha.
The sons of Hebron: Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20 O na keikikane a Uziela; o Mika ka mua, o Iesia ka lua.
The sons of Uzziel: Micah was the first and Isshiah the second.
21 O na keikikane a Merari; o Maheli a o Musi. O na keikikane a Maheli; o Eleazara, a o Kisa.
The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
22 A make iho la o Eleazara, aohe ana keikikane, o na kaikamahine wale no: a o na hoahanaukane o lakou, na keikikane a Kisa ka i lawe ia lakou.
Eleazar died without having any sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
23 O na keikikane a Musi; o Maheli, o Edera, a o Ieremota, ekolu.
The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth —three in all.
24 O lakou na keikikane a Levi mamuli o ka ohana o ko lakou mau makuakane; oia o na makua'lii, e like me ka helu ana ia lakou ma ko lakou poo, o ka poe nana i malama i ka oihana o ka hale o Iehova, mai ka makahiki he iwakalua mai, a malaila aku.
These were the descendants of Levi by their families—the heads of families, registered individually by name—those twenty years of age or older who worked in the service of the house of the LORD.
25 No ka mea, olelo mai la o Davida, Ua hoomaha mai o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela i kona poe kanaka, a e noho mau loa aku ma Ierusalema.
For David had said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, has given rest to His people and has come to dwell in Jerusalem forever.
26 Eia hoi, o na Levi; aole lakou e amo hou i ka halelewa, aole hoi na ipu ona no kolaila oihana.
So now the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles for its service.”
27 No ka mea, ma na olelo hope a Davida, ua heluia na Levi mai ka iwakalua o ka makahiki, a malaila aku.
For according to the final instructions of David, the Levites twenty years of age or older were counted,
28 No ka mea, o ka lakou hana no ka lawelawe na na keikikane a Aarona, no ka oihana o ka hale o Iehova, ma na pahale, a ma na keena, a i ka huikala ana i na mea laa a pau, a me ka hana ana i ka oihana o ka hale o ke Akua;
but their duty was to assist the descendants of Aaron with the service of the house of the LORD, being responsible for the courts and chambers, the purification of all the holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God,
29 No ka berena hoike, a no ka palaoa, ka mea mohai ai, a no na popo palaoa hu ole, a no ke pa pulehu, a no ka mea i koalaia, a no na mea ana wai a pau, a me na ana loa:
as well as for the rows of the showbread, the fine flour for the grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the baking, the mixing, and all measurements of quantity and size.
30 A no ke ku pono i na kakahiaka a pau, e hooaloha a e hoolea aku ia Iehova; a pela hoi i na ahiahi;
They were also to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the LORD, and likewise in the evening.
31 A no ke kaumaha aku i na mohaikuni a pau no Iehova i na Sabati, a me na mahina hou, a i na ahaaina i kauohaia, e mau ana imua o Iehova, ma ka helu ana, e like me ke kanawai i kauohaia mai ia lakou:
Whenever burnt offerings were presented to the LORD on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts, they were to serve regularly before the LORD in the numbers prescribed for them.
32 I malama ai lakou i ke kauoha no ka halelewa o ke anaina, a me ke kauoha no kahi hoano, a me ke kauoha no na keiki a Aarona ko lakou poe hoahanau, ma ka oihana o ka hale o Iehova.
So the Levites were to carry out the responsibilities for the Tent of Meeting and the Holy Place, and, under their brothers the descendants of Aaron, the service of the house of the LORD.
