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.

So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son 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 princes of Israel, with the priests and 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.

Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.

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 which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were 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.]

Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.

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 divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

7 No ka Geresona, o Laadana a o Simei.

Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.

8 O na keikikane a Laadana; o ka luna, o Iehiela, o Zetama, a o Ioela, ekolu.

The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, 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; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.

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 were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

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.

And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father’s house.

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.

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: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to him, and to bless in his name for ever.

14 A o Mose ke kanaka no ke Akua, ua heluia kana mau keikikane maloko o ka ohana a Levi.

Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.

15 O na keikikane a Mose, o Geresoma a o Eliezera.

The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.

16 O na keikikane a Geresoma, o Sebuela ka luna.

Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.

17 A o na keikikane a Eliezera, o Rehabia ka luna. Aohe keiki e ae a Eliezera: aka, he nui na keikikane a Rehabia.

And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

18 O na keikikane a Izehara; o Selomita ka luna.

Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.

19 O na keikikane a Heberona; o Ieria ka mua, o Amaria ka lua, o Iahaziela ke kolu, a o Iekameama ka ha.

Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah 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.

Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first and Jesiah 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.

And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brothers the sons of Kish took 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 were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years 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 God of Israel has given rest to his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:

26 Eia hoi, o na Levi; aole lakou e amo hou i ka halelewa, aole hoi na ipu ona no kolaila oihana.

And also to the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.

27 No ka mea, ma na olelo hope a Davida, ua heluia na Levi mai ka iwakalua o ka makahiki, a malaila aku.

For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:

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;

Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all 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:

Both for the show bread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure 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;

And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even:

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:

And to offer all burnt sacrifices to the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded to them, continually 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 that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brothers, in the service of the house of the LORD.
