1 ダビデ老てその日滿ければその子ソロモンをイスラエルの王となせり
Now David was old and full of days, and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 ダビデ、イスラエルの一切の牧伯および祭司とレビ人をあつめたり
And he gathered together all the rulers of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 レビ人の三十歳以上なる者を數へたるにその人々の頭數は三萬八千
And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward. And their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
4 その中二萬四千はヱホバの室の事幹を掌どり六千は有司および裁判人たり
Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Jehovah. And six thousand were officers and judges,
5 四千は門を守る者たりまた四千はダビデが造れる讃美の樂器をとりてヱホバを頌ることをせり
and four thousand were porters, and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made, David said, to praise therewith.
6 ダビデ、レビの子孫を分ちて班列を立たり即ちゲルシヨン、コハテおよびメラリ

The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

For David said, Jehovah, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people, and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
26 レビ人はまた重ねて幕屋およびその奉事の器具を舁ことあらずと

27 ダビデの最後の詞にしたがひてレビ人は二十歳以上よりして數へられたり
For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward.
28 彼らの職はアロンの子孫等の手に屬して神の家の役事を爲し庭と諸の室の用を爲し一切の聖物を潔むるなど凡て神の家の役事を勤むるの事なりき
For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Jehovah, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of the house of God, also
