역대상 23
1 다윗이 나이 많아 늙으매 아들 솔로몬으로 이스라엘 왕을 삼고
David was a very old man [DOU] when he appointed his son Solomon to be the next king.
2 이스라엘 모든 방백과 제사장과 레위사람을 모았더라
David gathered the leaders of Israel and the priests and other descendants of Levi.
3 레위 사람은 삼십세 이상으로 계수하였으니 모든 남자의 명수가 삼만 팔천인데
He [commanded some of his officials to] count the descendants of Levi who were at least thirty years old, and they found out that there were 38,000 of them.
4 그 중에 이만 사천은 여호와의 전 사무를 보살피는 자요 육천은 유사와 재판관이요
Then David said, “From those 38,000 men, I want 24,000 of them to supervise the work at the temple of Yahweh, and I want 6,000 of them to be officials and judges.
5 사천은 문지기요 사천은 다윗의 찬송하기 위하여 지은 악기로 여호와를 찬송하는 자라
I want 4,000 to be guards at the gates, and 4,000 to praise Yahweh, using the musical instruments that I have provided for them.”
6 다윗이 레위의 아들 게르손과 그핫과 므라리의 각 족속을 따라 그 반열을 나누었더라
David divided the descendants of Levi into three family groups; each group consisted of men who were descendants of one of the three sons of Levi—Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 게르손 자손은 라단과 시므이라
From the descendants of Gershon there were Ladan and Shimei.
8 라단의 아들들은 족장 여히엘과 또 세담과 요엘 세 사람이요
There were three sons of Ladan: Jehiel was the oldest, and his [younger] brothers Zetham and Joel.
9 시므이의 아들들은 슬로밋과 하시엘과 하란 세 사람이니 이는 라단의 족장들이며
There were three of the sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran. They were all leaders of the clans of Ladan.
10 또 시므이의 아들들은 야핫과 시나와 여우스와 브리아니 이 네 사람도 시므이의 아들이라
There were four men who were other sons of Shimei:
11 그 족장은 야핫이요 그 다음은 시사며 여우스와 브리아는 아들이 많지 아니하므로 저희와 한 족속으로 계수되었더라
Jahath, who was his oldest son, and his [younger] brothers Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah. Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were counted as though they were one family.
12 그핫의 아들들은 아므람과 이스할과 헤브론과 웃시엘 네 사람이라
Kohath had four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
13 아므람의 아들들은 아론과 모세니 아론은 그 자손들과 함께 구별되어 몸을 성결케 하여 영원토록 지극히 거룩한 자가 되어 여호와 앞에 분향하며 섬기며 영원토록 그 이름을 받들어 축복하게 되었으며
There were two sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were set apart to dedicate the very holy things, to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, to serve in his presence, and to declare [to the people] what Yahweh [MTY] would do to bless them. They were to do those things forever.
14 하나님의 사람 모세의 아들들은 레위 지파 중에 기록되었으니
The sons of Moses, the man who served God [well], were counted as part of the tribe of Levi.
15 모세의 아들은 게르솜과 엘리에셀이라
The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer.
16 게르솜의 아들 중에 스브엘이 족장이 되었고
The oldest son of Gershom was Shubael.
17 엘리에셀의 아들은 족장 르하뱌라 엘리에셀이 이 외에는 다른 아들이 없고 르하뱌의 아들은 심히 많았으며
Rehabiah was the oldest son of Eliezer. Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had many sons.
18 이스할의 아들은 족장 슬로밋이요
The oldest son of Izhar was Shelomith.
19 헤브론의 아들들은 족장 여리야와 둘째 아마랴와 세째 야하시엘과 네째 여가므암이며
Hebron had four sons. Jeriah was his oldest son, and his [younger] brothers were Amariah, Jahaziel, and Jekameam.
20 웃시엘의 아들은 족장 미가와 그 다음 잇시야더라
Uzziel had two sons. Micah was the oldest son, and his [younger] brother was Isshiah.
21 므라리의 아들들은 마흘리와 무시요 마흘리의 아들들은 엘르아살과 기스라
Merari had two sons: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli were Eleazar and Kish.
22 엘르아살이 아들이 없이 죽고 딸만 있더니 그 형제 기스의 아들이 저에게 장가 들었으며
Eleazar had no sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
23 무시의 아들들은 마흘리와 에델과 여레못 세 사람이더라
The three sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth.
24 이는 다 레위 자손이니 그 종가를 따라 계수함을 입어 이름이 기록되고 여호와의 전에서 섬기는 일을 하는 이십세 이상 된 족장들이라
Those were the descendants of Levi, whose names were listed according to their families/clans. They were chosen for special jobs by (casting lots/throwing small marked stones). Each person who was at least 20 years old was listed. They all worked in the temple of Yahweh.
25 다윗이 이르기를 이스라엘 하나님 여호와께서 평강을 그 백성에게 주시고 예루살렘에 영원히 거하시나니
David had said previously, “Yahweh, the God to whom we Israeli people belong, has enabled us to have peace, and he [has come to] live in Jerusalem forever.
26 레위 사람이 다시는 성막과 그 가운데서 쓰는 모든 기구를 멜 것이 없다 한지라
Therefore, the descendants of Levi no longer need to carry the Sacred Tent and the items used in the work there.”
27 다윗의 유언대로 레위 자손이 이십세 이상으로 계수되었으니
Obeying the final instructions of David [before he died, instructions for doing this work at the temple], they counted only the descendants of Levi who were at least 20 years old.
28 그 직분은 아론의 자손에게 수종들어 여호와의 전과 뜰과 골방에서 섬기고 또 모든 성물을 정결케 하는 일 곧 하나님의 전에서 섬기는 일과
The work of those descendants of Levi was to assist the descendants of Aaron in their work in the temple of Yahweh: To be in charge of the temple courtyards and the side rooms, the ceremonies for purifying all the sacred things, and to do other work at the temple.
29 또 진설병과 고운 가루의 소제물 곧 무교전병이나 남비에 지지는 것이나 반죽하는 것이나 또 모든 저울과 자를 맡고
They were also in charge of the sacred loaves of bread that were placed [each week] on the table [in the temple], the flour for the grain offerings, the wafers that were made without yeast, and the measuring the ingredients and mixing them and baking that bread and those wafers.
30 새벽과 저녁마다 서서 여호와께 축사하며 찬송하며
They were also told to stand every morning [at the temple] and thank Yahweh and praise him. They were also required to do the same thing every evening.
31 또 안식일과 초하루와 절기에 모든 번제를 여호와께 드리되 그 명하신 규례의 정한 수효대로 항상 여호와 앞에 드리며
And they were to do the same thing whenever offerings that were to be completely burned [on the altar] were presented/offered to Yahweh on Sabbath days and during the new moon celebrations and other religious festivals. They were told how many of them should be there and what they should do each time.
32 또 회막의 직무와 성소의 직무와 그 형제 아론 자손의 직무를 지켜 여호와의 전에서 수종드는 것이더라
So the descendants of Levi did the work that was assigned to them by their fellow Israelis who were descendants of Aaron. They did that work in the area surrounding the Sacred Tent, and in the Sacred Tent, and [later] at the temple.
