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.
Then David, being old and full of days, appointed 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.
And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel, with the priests as well as the 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.
And the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward. And there were found thirty-eight thousand men.
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, twenty-four thousand were chosen and distributed to the ministry of the house of the Lord. Then six thousand were overseers 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.]
Moreover, four thousand were porters. And the same number were the singers of psalms to the Lord, with the musical instruments which he had made for the music.
6 Puunaue mai la o Davida ia lakou i na papa mamuli o na keikikane a Levi, o Geresona, o Kohata, a o Merari.
And David distributed them into courses according to the sons of Levi, specifically, Gershom, and Kohath, and Merari.
7 No ka Geresona, o Laadana a o Simei.
The sons of Gershom: Ladan and Shimei.
8 O na keikikane a Laadana; o ka luna, o Iehiela, o Zetama, a o Ioela, ekolu.
The sons of Ladan: the leader Jahiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
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, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the leaders 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.
Then the sons of Shimei: Jahath, and Zizah, and Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei, four.
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.
Now Jahath was first, Zizah second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, and for this reason they were reckoned as one family and one house.
12 O na keikikane a Kohata; o Amerama, o Izehara, o Heberona, a o Uziela, eha.
The sons of Kohath: Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel, four.
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. Now Aaron was separated so that he might minister in the Holy of Holies, he and his sons forever, and so that he might burn incense to the Lord, according to his rite, and so that he might bless his name in perpetuity.
14 A o Mose ke kanaka no ke Akua, ua heluia kana mau keikikane maloko o ka ohana a Levi.
The sons of Moses, the man of God, were also numbered in 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 sons of Gershom: Shebuel 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.
Now the sons of Eliezer were Rehabiah the first. And there were no other sons for Eliezer. But the sons of Rehabiah were multiplied exceedingly.
18 O na keikikane a Izehara; o Selomita ka luna.
The sons of Izhar: Shelomith 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 the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
20 O na keikikane a Uziela; o Mika ka mua, o Iesia ka lua.
The sons of Uzziel: Micah the first, 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.
Then Eleazar died, and had no sons, but only daughters. And so the sons of Kish, their brothers, married them.
23 O na keikikane a Musi; o Maheli, o Edera, a o Ieremota, ekolu.
The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
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 are the sons of Levi, in their kindred and families, leaders in turns, and the number of each of the heads who were doing the works of the ministry of the house of the Lord, from twenty years of age and upward.
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 said: “The Lord, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people, and a habitation in Jerusalem even unto eternity.
26 Eia hoi, o na Levi; aole lakou e amo hou i ka halelewa, aole hoi na ipu ona no kolaila oihana.
Neither shall it be the office of the Levites any more to carry the tabernacle with all its equipment for use in the ministry.”
27 No ka mea, ma na olelo hope a Davida, ua heluia na Levi mai ka iwakalua o ka makahiki, a malaila aku.
Also, according to the last precepts of David, the sons of Levi shall be counted by number from twenty years of age and upward.
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;
And they shall be under the hand of the sons of Aaron, in the care of the house of the Lord, in the vestibule, and in the chambers, and in the place of purification, and in the sanctuary, and in all the works of the ministry of the temple of the Lord.
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:
But the priests shall be over the bread of the presence, and the sacrifice of fine wheat flour, and the unleavened cakes, and the frying pan, and the roasting, and over every weight and measure.
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;
Yet truly, the Levites shall stand to confess and to sing to the Lord, in the morning, and similarly 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:
as much in the oblation of the holocausts of the Lord, as in the Sabbaths and new moons and other solemnities, according to the number and ceremonies for each and every matter, perpetually before the Lord.
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.
And let them keep the observances of the tabernacle of the covenant, and the rituals of the sanctuary, and the observance of the sons of Aaron, their brothers, so that they may minister in the house of the Lord.
