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.
Now David was old and full of days; and 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.
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.
The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-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.
David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the LORD’s house, 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.]
four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I 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.
David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 No ka Geresona, o Laadana a o Simei.
Of 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 chief, 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, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households 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.
The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, 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.
Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah didn’t have many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning.
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 forever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to him, and to bless in his name forever.
14 A o Mose ke kanaka no ke Akua, ua heluia kana mau keikikane maloko o ka ohana a Levi.
But 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 sons of Gershom: Shebuel 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.
The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18 O na keikikane a Izehara; o Selomita ka luna.
The son 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.
The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, 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 the chief, 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, and had no sons, but daughters only; and their relatives, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.
23 O na keikikane a Musi; o Maheli, o Edera, a o Ieremota, ekolu.
The sons of Mushi: Mahli, 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 their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the LORD’s house, from twenty years old 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 he dwells 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.
Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels 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 by the last words of David the sons of Levi were counted, from twenty years old 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;
For their duty was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the LORD’s house—in the courts, in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God’s house;
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:
for the show bread also, and for the fine flour for a meal offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for 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;
and to stand every morning to thank and praise 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:
and to offer all burnt offerings to the LORD on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning 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 duty of the Tent of Meeting, the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers for the service of the LORD’s house.
