1 Kroniku 23

1 Hagi Deviti'ma ozafama nereno'a, nemofo Solomoninku Israeli vahe'mokizimi kini manigahie huno huhamprinte'ne.

When David was old and full of years, he installed his son Solomon as king over Israel.

2 Hanki maka Israeli vahe kva vahetamina zamavare atru nehuno, Pristi vahetamine, Livae vahetaminena Deviti'a zamavare atru hu'ne.

Then he gathered all the leaders of Israel, as well as the priests and Levites.

3 Ana hutege'za 30'a kafuma agatere'nea Livae vene'nema hampri'nazana 38tauseni'a vahetami hampri'naze.

The Levites thirty years of age or older were counted, and the total number of men was 38,000.

4 Hagi Deviti'a amanage hu'ne, ama 24tauseni'a vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi eri'zana erigahaze. Hagi ama 6tauseni'a vahe'mo'za mono nonte'ma ugagotama hanaza eri'zane, vahe keagama refkohu eri'za erigahaze.

“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 Hagi 4tauseni'a vahe'mo'za kuma kafante kvahu eri'za eri'nageno, mago 4tauseni'a vahe'mo'za Devitina'ma tro'ma hunte'noa zavena nehe'za zagame'ma hu'za Ra Anumzamofoma agima erisgahu vahe manigahaze.

4,000 are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000 are to praise the LORD with the instruments I have made for giving praise.”

6 Ana huteno Deviti'a Livae nagapina 3'a nofi'ma mani'nazare vahera refko hu'ne. E'i ana 3'a nofira Livaena 3'a mofavre naga'afinti fore hu'nazankino, zamagi'a Gesoni'ma, Kohati'ma, Merari'e.

Then David divided the Levites into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.

7 Hagi Gesoni'a Ladanine Simeikizni kasezanante'ne.

The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.

8 Hagi Ladani'a 3'a ne' mofavrerami zamante'neankino zamagi'a, ese mofavre'a Jehieli manigeno, anantera Zetami mani'geno henkamo'a Joeli mani'ne.

The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all.

9 Hagi Semei'a 3'a ne' mofavrerami kasente'neankino zamagi'a, Selomoti'ma, Hazieli'ma, Harani'e. Hagi Ladani nagapina ama ana 3'a vahe'mo'za kva mani'naze.

The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan.

10 Hagi Simei'a mago'a ne' mofavrerami zmante'neankino, ana ne'mofavreramimofo zamagi'a, Jahati'ma Ziza'ma Jeusi'ma, Beria'e. Hagi ana makara 4'a ne' mofavrerami Simei'a kasezmante'ne.

And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.

11 Hagi Jahati'a ana nagamofo kva manigeno, Zizati agri amage'a nampa 2 kva mani'ne. Hagi Jeusike Beriakea rama'a ne' mofavrea ontena'ankino zanagri nagara zanazeri mago hu'za hampri'naze.

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 Hagi Kohati ne' mofavreramina, Amramu'ma, Izari'ma, Hebroni'ma, Uzielikino, ana makara 4'a mofavrerami kasezmante'ne.

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

13 Hagi Amramu'a Aronine Mosesekizni kasezanante'ne. Hagi Aronimpinti'ma fore'ma hu'naza vahera nagru huno ruotge'ma hu'nea zantminte kegava hugahaze huno Ra Anumzamo huhamprizmante'ne. Ana hu'neankino zamagra Ra Anumzamofo eri'zana eri'za ofa kresramna vunente'za, Agri agifina asomu kea Israeli vahera huzmante vava hugahaze.

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 Hianagi Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese ne'mofavre'mo'za Livae naga nofire hu'za mani'naze.

As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.

15 Hagi Mosese'a Gesomune Eliezarikizni kasezanante'ne.

The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.

16 Hagi Gesomu ne' mofavreramimpina ese mofavre'a Subaelikino, agra vugota huno naga'a kegava huzmante'ne.

The descendants of Gershom: Shebuel was the first.

17 Hagi Eliezari'a magoke ne' mofavre nenteno mago'a onte'neankino, agi'a Rehabia'e. Hianagi Rehabia'a rama'a mofavre zamantegeno, hamprigara osu'ne.

The descendants of Eliezer: Rehabiah was the first. Eliezer did not have any other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous.

18 Hagi Izari'a ese ne' mofavrea Selomiti kasente'geno agra ugota huno naga'afina kegava huzmante'ne.

The sons of Izhar: Shelomith was the first.

19 Hagi Hebroni'a esera Jeria kasenteno, Jeria amefira Amaria kasenteno, Amaria amefira Jahazieli kasenteno, Jahazieli amefira Jekamiamu kasente'ne.

The sons of Hebron: Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

20 Hagi Uzieli'a esera Maika kasenteno, Maika amefira Isia kasente'ne.

The sons of Uzziel: Micah was the first and Isshiah the second.

21 Hagi Merari'a Maline Musikizni kasezanante'ne. Hagi Mali'a Eleazarine Kisikizni kasezanante'ne.

The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.

22 Hagi Eleazari'a ne'mofavrea onte mofanege anteneno frige'za, ana mofanemo'za, nefu Kisi mofavreraminte mare'naze.

Eleazar died without having any sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.

23 Hagi Musi'a 3'a ne'mofavrerami zmante'neankino zamagi'a, Mali'ma, Ederi'ma, Jeremoti'e.

The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth —three in all.

24 Hagi ama ana vahera Livae nagapinti'ma fore'ma hu'naza vaheki'za, magoke magoke naga nofizmire ugota hutere hu'nazageno zamagi kreno eri fatgo hu'nege'za 20'a kafuma agatere'naza vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo mono nompina eri'zana enerize.

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 Hagi Deviti'a amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a vahe'a manigasa nezmino, Agra Jerusalemi kumapina mani vava hugahie.

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 Hagi menina Livae naga'mo'za, Seli mono none ana nompima eri'zama e'neriza zantaminena eri'za vu'za e'za osugahaze.

So now the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles for its service.”

27 Hagi Deviti'ma e'ina hiho huno'ma huvagare kema zamasami'nea kante ante'za, 20'a kafuma agatere'nea vahetami mono nompima eri'zama eri vahera zamagia krente'naze.

For according to the final instructions of David, the Levites twenty years of age or older were counted,

28 Hanki Livae vahe'tmimofo eri'zana, Aroni naga'mokizmi zamaza hu'za Ra Anumzamofo nompima eri'zama erisaza eri'za me'ne. Hagi mago'a eri'zana mono nonkuma'ma kegava nehu'za, mono nompima eri'zama e'neriza zantamima zamazeri agruhu eri'zane, Anumzamofo nompima eri eri'zane, mago'a eri'zanena eri'naze.

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 Hagi ruotgema hu'nea bretima itare'ma eme antaza bretine, witi ofama eme haza ofane, zo'ore breti ofane, olivi masavenema erihavia huno kre'nea kekine, anazantamima sigerirema erinteno kna'ama refko huno ke eri'zane kegava hu'naze.

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 Hagi mika nanterane kinaganena Ra Anumzamofo avuga otine'za zagamera hu'za susu hunente'za, agia erisga hu'naze.

They were also to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the LORD, and likewise in the evening.

31 Hagi Sabati knare'ene kasefa ika ementegeno musema hu knare'ene mono'ma hu knare'ma zamaza hu'za Kresramana vanaza vahera, e'i'a vahe manine'za eri'zana erigahazema hu'nenia kante ante'za anama'a namba mani'neza, Ra Anumzamofo avuga ana eri'zantamina maka zupa erigahaze.

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 Hagi zamafuhe'za pristi naga'mo'za kegava huzmante'nage'za, Livae naga'mo'za maka eri'zana seli nompima ruotage'ma hu'nefina Ra Anumzamofo avuga eri'zana eri'naze.

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.
