1 Tantara 23
1 Nigain-kantetse t’i Davide naho nilifots’andro; vaho nanoe’e mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Selomò ana-dahi’e.
Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Le natonto’e iaby o roandria’ Israeleo naho o mpisoroñeo vaho o nte-Levio.
And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 Niaheñe amo añambone’eo ki-ondaty-ondaty, o nte-Levy telopolo taoñe mañamboneo, le ni-telo-ale-tsi-valo-arivo.
The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
4 Ro’ale-tsi-efats’ arivo am’ iereo ty hisary ty fitoloñañe amy anjomba’ Iehovày; le eneñ’ arivo ty ho mpifeleke naho mpizaka;
David said, "Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of the LORD; six thousand were officers and judges;
5 le efats’arivo ty hañamben-dalambey; vaho efats’ arivo ty hisabo am’ Iehovà amo fititihañe niranjieko ho fijejoañeo.
four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, for giving praise."
6 Zinara’ i Davide am-pirimboñañe o ana’ i Levio: i Gersone, i Kehàte vaho i Merarý.
David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 Amo nte-Gersoneo: i Ladane naho i Simeý.
Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
8 O ana’ i Ladaneo: Iekiele ty nimpiaolo naho i Zetame vaho Ioele, telo.
The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three.

The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zizah, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
11 Talè t’Iakate, faha-roe t’i Zizà; le tsy nimaro anake t’Iehose naho i Berià vaho nivolilieñe ho raike iereo ty aman’ anjomban-droae.
Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; therefore they became a fathers' house in one reckoning.
12 O ana’ i Kehàteo: I Amrame, Iitshare, i Kebrone vaho i Oziele, efatse.
The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, forever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to him, and to bless in his name, forever.
14 Niaheñe am-pifokoa’ i Levy ao o ana’ i Mosè, ondatin’ Añahareo.
But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.

24 Izay o ana’ i Levio amo anjomban-droae’eo; o talèn-droae’eo, ie vinolily an’ iake ty amo tahina’eo, ty amo añambone’eo; o nifanehak’ am-pitoloñañe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao boak’an-tao’e faha-roapolo mañamboneo.
These were the sons of Levi after their fathers' houses, even the heads of ancestral houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who do the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from twenty years old and upward.
25 Ami’ty nanoe’ i Davide ty hoe, Fa tinolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele fitofàñe ondati’eo; ie himoneñe e Ierosalaime ao nainai’e.
For David said, "The LORD, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
26 Le o nte-Levio: tsy ho tarazoe’ iereo ka i kivohoy ndra o fana-pitoloñañeo.
Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service."
27 Fa ty tsara’ fara’ i D’avide, le ty famoliliañe o nte-Levy roapolo taoñe mañamboneo.
For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward.
28 Amy te nampijadoñeñe am-pità’ o ana’ i Aharoneo ty fitoloñañe añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao, an-kiririsa’e ao naho amo efets’ efe’eo naho amy fañeferañe o raha masiñe iabioy vaho ty fitoroñañe añ’ anjomban’ Añahare,
For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God's house,
29 amy mofo miatrekey naho amy mona’e ho enga-mahakamay naho ty mofo-pila’e tsy aman-dalivay, ke t’ie toñaheñe añ’ endraendra he alaro menake naho ze hene fañaranañe naho fanjeheañe;
involving the show bread, the fine flour for a meal offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all kinds of measure and size;
30 naho t’ie hijohañe eo boa-maraiñe, hañandriañe naho handrenge Iehovà, naho hariva ka;
and to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise in the evening;
31 naho hañenga ze hene soroñe am’ Iehovà, amo Sabatao naho amo pea-bolañeo naho amo andro namantañañeo, ami’ty ia’e nafetse, añatrefa’ Iehovà nainai’ey;
and to offer all burnt offerings to the LORD, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before the LORD;
32 vaho hañambeñe i kivohom-pamantañañey naho hañambeñe i toetse masiñey naho hiaolo o ana-dahi’ i Aharone, roahalahi’eo, ami’ty fitoroñañe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao.
and that they should keep the duty of the Tent of Meeting, and the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the service of the house of the LORD.
