Pirmā Laiku 23
1 Un kad Dāvids bija vecs un savu laiku nodzīvojis, tad tas savu dēlu Salamanu cēla par ķēniņu pār Israēli.
David was a very old man [DOU] when he appointed his son Solomon to be the next king.
2 Un (Dāvids) sapulcēja visus Israēla virsniekus un priesterus un Levitus.
David gathered the leaders of Israel and the priests and other descendants of Levi.
3 Un Leviti tapa skaitīti no trīsdesmit gadiem un pārāk, un viņu skaits pēc viņu vīru galvām bija trīsdesmit astoņi tūkstoši.
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 No tiem bija divdesmit četri tūkstoši nolikti pie Tā Kunga nama darba, un seši tūkstoš uzraugi un tiesneši.
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 Un četri tūkstoš vārtu sargi un četri tūkstoš Tā Kunga dziedātāji ar spēlēm, ko es esmu iecēlis, Dievu teikt (sacīja Dāvids).
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 Un Dāvids tos dalīja kārtās, pēc Levja bērniem, Geršona, Kehāta un Merarus.
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 No Geršona bērniem bija Laēdans un Šimejus.
From the descendants of Gershon there were Ladan and Shimei.
8 Laēdana bērni bija: Jeīels, virsnieks, un Zetams un Joēls, tie trīs.
There were three sons of Ladan: Jehiel was the oldest, and his [younger] brothers Zetham and Joel.
9 Šimejus bērni bija: Zalomits un Aziēls un Hārans, tie trīs; šie bija Laēdana tēvu nama virsnieki.
There were three of the sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran. They were all leaders of the clans of Ladan.
10 Un Šimejus bērni bija: Jakats, Zinus un Jeūs un Brija; šie četri bija Šimejus bērni.
There were four men who were other sons of Shimei:
11 Un Jakats bija pirmais un Zinus otrais. Bet Jeūm un Brijam nebija daudz bērnu, tāpēc tie tapa skaitīti par vienu tēva namu.
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 Un Kehāta bērni bija: Amrams, Jecears, Hebrons un Uziēls, tie četri.
Kohath had four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
13 Amrama bērni bija Ārons un Mozus. Un Āronu atšķīra, ka tas taptu svētīts visusvētākajā amatā līdz ar saviem dēliem mūžīgi, kvēpināt priekš Tā Kunga vaiga un viņam kalpot un svētīt viņa vārdā mūžīgi.
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 Un Mozus, Tā Dieva vīra, bērni bija skaitīti pie Levitu cilts.
The sons of Moses, the man who served God [well], were counted as part of the tribe of Levi.
15 Mozus bērni bija: Ģerzoms un Eliēzers.
The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer.
16 Ģerzoma bērni bija Zebuēls, virsnieks.
The oldest son of Gershom was Shubael.
17 Un Eliēzeram bērni bija: Rekabeja, virsnieks. Un Eliēzeram nebija citu bērnu. Bet Rekabejas bērni vairojās daudz vairāk.
Rehabiah was the oldest son of Eliezer. Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had many sons.
18 Jeceara bērni bija: virsnieks Zalomits.
The oldest son of Izhar was Shelomith.
19 Hebrona bērni bija: Jerija tas pirmais, Amarija otrais, Jeaziēls trešais, un Jakmeams ceturtais.
Hebron had four sons. Jeriah was his oldest son, and his [younger] brothers were Amariah, Jahaziel, and Jekameam.
20 Uziēļa bērni bija: Miha tas pirmais un Jezija otrais.
Uzziel had two sons. Micah was the oldest son, and his [younger] brother was Isshiah.
21 Merarus bērni bija: Maēlus un Muzus. Maēlus bērni bija: Eleazars un Ķis.
Merari had two sons: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli were Eleazar and Kish.
22 Un Eleazars nomira, un tam dēlu nebija, bet meitas vien, un Ķisa bērni, viņu brāļi, tās apņēma.
Eleazar had no sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
23 Muzus bērni bija Maēlns, Eders un Jeremots, tie trīs.
The three sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth.
24 Šie bija Levja bērni pēc savu tēvu namiem, savu tēvu namu virsnieki, kas pēc vārdiem tapa skaitīti pēc viņu galvām; tie stāvēja kalpošanas darbā Tā Kunga namā, divdesmit gadus veci un vairāk.
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 Jo Dāvids bija sacījis: Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, Saviem ļaudīm dusu devis, un Viņš Jeruzālemē mājos mūžīgi.
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 Tad arī Levitiem vairs nebija jānes tas dzīvoklis, nedz kādas citas lietas, kas pie tā amata piederēja.
Therefore, the descendants of Levi no longer need to carry the Sacred Tent and the items used in the work there.”
27 Bet pēc Dāvida pēdējiem vārdiem Levja bērni tapa skaitīti, divdesmit gadus veci un vairāk,
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 Ka tiem bija jāstāv apakš Ārona bērnu rokas, kalpot Tā Kunga nama pagalmā un mantas kambaros un tīrīt visas svētās lietas un stāvēt Dieva nama kalpošanā,
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 Un pie Dieva priekšā noliekamām maizēm un ēdamo upuru kviešu miltiem un neraudzētām karašām un pannām un ceptiem raušiem un pie visiem svariem un mēriem,
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 Un ik rītu stāvēt, To Kungu teikt un slavēt, tāpat arī ik vakaru,
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 Un upurēt visus dedzināmos upurus svētdienās, jaunos mēnešos un svētkos pēc sava skaita un tiesas Tā Kunga priekšā vienmēr,
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 Un sargāt saiešanas telti un svēto vietu un kalpot saviem brāļiem, Ārona bērniem, Tā Kunga nama kalpošanā.
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.
