I Paralipomenon 23
1 Igitur David senex et plenus dierum, regem constituit Salomonem filium suum super Israel.
And when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Et congregavit omnes principes Israel, et Sacerdotes atque Levitas.
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 Numeratique sunt Levitae a viginti annis, et supra: et inventa sunt triginta octo millia virorum.
And then were numbered the Levites from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, of men, was thirty and eight thousand.
4 Ex his electi sunt, et distributi in ministerium domus Domini viginti quattuor millia: praepositorum autem et iudicum sex millia.
Of these were twenty and four thousand to superintend the work of the house of the Lord; and six thousand were officers and judges;
5 Porro quattuor millia ianitores: et totidem psaltes canentes Domino in organis, quae fecerat ad canendum.
And four thousand were gatekeepers: and four thousand those who praised the Lord with the instruments which I have made, to praise therewith.
6 Et distribuit eos David per vices filiorum Levi, Gerson videlicet, et Caath, et Merari.
And David divided them into divisions after the sons of Levi, after Gershon, Kehath, and Merari.
7 Filii Gerson: Leedan, et Semei.
Of the Gershunites: La'dan, and Shim'i.
8 Filii Leedan: princeps Iahiel, et Zethan, et Ioel, tres.
The sons of La'dan: The chief was Jechiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9 Filii Semei: Salomith, et Hosiel, et Aran, tres: isti principes familiarum Leedan.
The sons of Shim'i: Shelomith, and Chaziel, and Haran, three. These were the chiefs of the families of La'dan.
10 Porro filii Semei, Leheth, et Ziza, et Iaus, et Baria: isti filii Semei, quattuor.
And the sons of Shim'i were, Jachath, Zina, and Je'ush, and Beri'ah. These four were the sons of Shim'i.
11 Erat autem Leheth prior, Ziza secundus: porro Iaus et Baria non habuerunt plurimos filios, et idcirco in una familia, unaque domo computati sunt.
And Jachath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Je'ush and Beri'ah had not many sons: therefore were they accounted as one family division in the numbering.
12 Filii Caath: Amram, et Isaar, Hebron, et Oziel, quattuor.
The sons of Kehath: 'Amram, Yizhar, Hebron, and 'Uzziel, four.
13 Filii Amram, Aaron et Moyses. Separatusque est Aaron ut ministraret in Sancto sanctorum, ipse et filii eius in sempiternum, et adoleret incensum Domino secundum ritum suum, ac benediceret nomini eius in perpetuum.
The sons of 'Amram, Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was set apart, to sanctify him as most holy, he with his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.
14 Moysi quoque hominis Dei filii annumerati sunt in tribu Levi.
But as regardeth Moses the man of God, his sons were named after the tribe of Levi.
15 Filii Moysi: Gersom, et Eliezer.
The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eli'ezer.
16 Filii Gersom: Subuel primus.
Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
17 Fuerunt autem filii Eliezer: Rohobia primus: et non erant Eliezer filii alii. Porro filii Rohobia multiplicati sunt nimis.
And the sons of Eli'ezer were, Rechahyah the chief. And Eli'ezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rechahyah became exceedingly numerous.
18 Filii Isaar: Salomith primus.
Of the sons of Yizhar, was Shelomith the chief.
19 Filii Hebron: Ieriau primus, Amarias secundus, Iahaziel tertius, Iecmaam quartus.
The sons of Hebron: Jeriyahu the chief, Amaryah the second, Jachaziel the third, and Jekam'am the fourth.
20 Filii Oziel: Micha primus, Iesia secundus.
The sons of 'Uzziel: Michah the chief, and Yishiyah the second.
21 Filii Merari: Moholi, et Musi. Filii Moholi: Eleazar, et Cis.
The sons of Merari: Machli, and Mushi. The sons of Machli: El'azar, and Kish.
22 Mortuus est autem Eleazar, et non habuit filios, sed filias: acceperuntque eas filii Cis fratres earum.
And El'azar died, and had no sons, but daughters; and the sons of Kish, their brethren, took them [for wives].
23 Filii Musi: Moholi, et Eder, et Ierimoth, tres.
The sons of Mushi: Machli, and 'Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24 Hi filii Levi in cognationibus, et familiis suis, principes per vices, et numerum capitum singulorum, qui faciebant opera ministerii domus Domini a viginti annis, et supra.
These were the sons of Levi after their family divisions, even the chiefs of the families, as they were counted by numbering the names after their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward.
25 Dixit enim David: Requiem dedit Dominus Deus Israel populo suo, et habitationem Ierusalem usque in aeternum.
For David said, The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, and he dwelleth in Jerusalem for evermore.
26 Nec erit officii Levitarum ut ultra portent tabernaculum, et omnia vasa eius ad ministrandum.
And also the Levites are no more bound to carry the tabernacle, and all its vessels for the service thereof.
27 Iuxta praecepta quoque David novissima supputabitur numerus filiorum Levi a viginti annis et supra.
Therefore by the last words of David were there numbered of the Levites those who were from twenty years old and above;
28 Et erunt sub manu filiorum Aaron in cultum domus Domini, in vestibulis, et in exedris, et in loco purificationis, et in sanctuario, et in universis operibus ministerii templi Domini.
Because their station was to be at the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the courts, and in the chambers, and by the purification of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;
29 Sacerdotes autem, super panes propositionis, et ad similae sacrificium, et ad lagana et azyma, et sartaginem, et ad torrendum, et super omne pondus atque mensuram.
And for the shew-bread, which was put in rows, 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 sodden, and for all manner of dry and wet measure;
30 Levitae vero ut stent mane ad confitendum, et canendum Domino: similiterque ad vesperam
And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and so also at evening,
31 tam in oblatione holocaustorum Domini, quam in sabbatis et Calendis et sollemnitatibus reliquis iuxta numerum, et ceremonias uniuscuiusque rei, iugiter coram Domino.
And at all the offering of burnt-offerings unto the Lord on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the appointed feasts, according to the number, and after the manner prescribed for them, continually before the Lord;
32 Et custodiant observationes tabernaculi foederis, et ritum sanctuarii, et observationem filiorum Aaron fratrum suorum, ut ministrent in domo Domini.
And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the Lord.
