1 Whakapapa 23
1 Na kua koroheketia a Rawiri, kua rite ona tau; a ka meinga e ia tana tama a Horomona hei kingi mo Iharaira.
And David being old and full of days, made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Na ka huihuia e ia nga rangatira katoa o Iharaira, ratou ko nga tohunga, ko nga Riwaiti.
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, and the priests and Levites.
3 Na ka taua nga Riwaiti, nga mea e toru tekau, he maha atu ranei, o ratou tau. Na, ko to ratou tokomaha, he mea tatau a tangata tonu, e toru tekau ma waru mano.
And the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years, and upwards: and there were found of them thirty-eight thousand men.
4 O enei, e rua tekau ma wha mano hei whakahaere i te mahi o te whare o Ihowa; na, ko nga rangatira, ko nga kaiwhakarite, e ono mano.
Of these twenty-four thousand were chosen, and distributed unto the ministry of the house of the Lord: and six thousand were the overseers and judges.
5 Na e wha mano hei kaitiaki kuwaha, a e wha mano hei whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa i runga i nga mea whakatangi i hanga e ahau, e ai ta Rawiri, hei mea whakamoemiti.
Moreover four thousand were porters: and as many singers singing to the Lord with the instruments, which he had made to sing with.
6 A wehea ana ratou e Rawiri, he wehenga, he wehenga, ki nga tama a Riwai, a Kerehona, a Kohata, a Merari.
And David distributed them into courses by the families of the sons of Levi, to wit, of Gerson, and of Caath, and of Merari.
7 O nga Kerehoni, ko Raarana, ko Himei.
The sons of Gerson were Leedan and Semei.
8 Ko nga tama a Raarana; ko te upoko ko Tehiere, ko Tetama, ko Hoera, tokotoru.
The sons of Leedan: the chief Jahiel, and Zethan, and Joel, three.
9 Ko nga tama a Himei; ko Heromoto, ko Hatiere, ko Harana, tokotoru. Ko nga upoko enei o nga whare o nga matua o Raarana.
The sons of Semei: Salomith, and Hosiel, and Aran, three: these were the heads of the families of Leedan.
10 Na, ko nga tama a Himei; ko Iahata, ko Tina, ko Ieuhu, ko Peria. Ko enei tokowha he tama na Himei.
And the sons of Semei were Leheth, and Ziza, and Jaus, and Baria: these were the sons of Semei, four.
11 Ko Iahata te upoko, ko Tita te tuarua: na kihai i tokomaha nga tama a Ieuhu raua ko Peria, a hei whare matua raua, kotahi ano tauanga.
And Leheth was the first, Ziza the second: but Jaus and Baria had not many children, and therefore they were counted in one family, and in one house.
12 Ko nga tama a Kohata; ko Amarama, ko Itihara, ko Heperona, ko Utiere, tokowha.
The sons of Caath were Amram, and Isaar, Hebron, and Oziel, four.
13 Ko nga tama a Amarama; ko Arona raua ko Mohi. Na i motuhia a Arona hei whakatapu i nga mea tapu rawa, a ia me ana tama, ake ake hei tahu whakakakara ki te aroaro o Ihowa, hei minita ki a ia, hei manaaki i runga i tona ingoa a ake ake.
The sons of Amram, Aaron, and Moses. And Aaron was separated to minister in the holy of holies, he and his sons for ever, and to burn incense before the Lord, according to his ceremonies, and to bless his name for ever.
14 Na ko Mohi tangata a te Atua, no te iwi o Riwai te karangatanga o ana tama.
The sons also of Moses, the man of God, were numbered in the tribe of Levi.
15 Ko nga tama a Mohi; ko Kerehoma, ko Erietere.
The sons of Moses were Gersom and Eliezer:
16 O nga tama a Kerehoma, ko Hepuere te upoko.
The sons of Gersom: Subuel the first.
17 Na, ko nga tama a Erietere; ko Rehapia te upoko. A kahore atu he tama a Erietere. He tokomaha rawa ia nga tama a Rehapia.
And the sons of Eliezer were: Rohobia the first: and Eliezer had no more sons. But the sons of Rohobia were multiplied exceedingly.
18 O nga tama a Itihara; ko Heromiti te upoko.
The sons of Isaar: Salomith the first.
19 O nga tama a Heperona; ko Teria te upoko, ko Amaria te tuarua, ko Tahatiere te tuatoru, ko Tekameama te tuawha.
The sons of Hebron: Jeriau the first, Amarias the second, Jahaziel the third, Jecmaam the fourth.
20 O nga tama a Utiere; ko Mika te upoko, ko Ihiia te tuarua.
The sons of Oziel: Micha the first, Jesia the second.
21 Ko nga tama a Merari; ko Mahari, ko Muhi. Ko nga tama a Mahari; ko Ereatara, ko Kihi.
The sons of Merari: Moholi, and Musi. The sons of Moholi: Eleazar and Cia.
22 Na ka mate a Ereatara; kahore ana tama; engari he tamahine: a riro ana ratou hei wahine i o ratou tungane, i nga tama a Kihi.
And Eleazar died, and had no sons but daughters: and the sons of Cis their brethren took them.
23 Ko nga tama a Muhi; ko Mahari, ko Erere, ko Teremoto, tokotoru.
The sons of Musi: Moholi, and Eder, and Jerimoth, three.
24 Ko nga tama enei a Riwai i nga whare o o ratou matua; ara nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua, he mea tatau a tangata, tenei ingoa, tenei ingoa o nga kaimahi i nga mea mo te whare o Ihowa, te hunga, e rua tekau, he maha atu hoki o ratou tau.
These are the sons of Levi in their kindreds and families, princes by their courses, and the number of every head that did the works of the ministry of the house of the Lord from twenty years old and upward.
25 I mea hoki a Rawiri, Kua meinga nei e Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira tana iwi kia okioki, a ka moho tonu ia ki Hiruharama:
For David said: The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest to his people, and a habitation in Jerusalem for ever.
26 Me nga Riwaiti, heoi ano ta ratou amohanga i te tapenakara, me ona mea katoa mo nga mahi ki reira.
And it shall not be the office of the Levites to carry any more the tabernacle, and all the vessels for the service thereof.
27 Na nga kupu whakamutunga hoki a Rawiri i taua ai nga Riwaiti e rua nei tekau, he maha atu hoki, o ratou tau.
So according to the last precepts of David, the sons of Levi are to be numbered from twenty years old and upward.
28 Ko te turanga hoki mo ratou kei te taha o nga tama a Arona, mo nga mahi o te whare o Ihowa, i nga marae, i nga ruma, i te purenga o nga mea tapu katoa, i te meatanga o te mahi te whare o te Atua;
And they are to be under the hand of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the porches, and in the chambers, and in the place of purification, and in the sanctuary, and in all the works of the ministry of the temple of the Lord.
29 Ara o te taro aroaro, o te paraoa mo te whakahere totokore, o nga keke rewenakore, o te mea i tunua ki te paraharaha, o te mea i paraipanatia, o nga mea katoa e mehuatia ana, e ruritia ana;
And the priests have the charge of the leaves of proposition, and of the sacrifice of fine flour, and of the unleavened cakes, and of the fryingpan, and of the roasting, and of every weight and measure.
30 Hei tu i tenei ata, i tenei ata, ki te whakawhetai, ki te whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa; kia pera hoki i te ahiahi;
And the Levites are to stand in the morning to give thanks, and to sing praises to the Lord: and in like manner in the evening,
31 Hei whakaeke mo nga tahunga tinana katoa ma Ihowa i nga hapati, i nga marama hou, i nga hakari i whakaritea; he mea tatau tonu ratou, i runga i te tikanga mo ratou, i te aroaro tonu o Ihowa:
As well in the oblation of the holocausts of the Lord, as in the sabbaths and in the new moons, and the rest of the solemnities, according to the number and ceremonies prescribed for every thing, continually before the Lord.
32 Ko ratou ano hei tiaki i nga mea o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, hei tiaki i te wahi tapu, hei tiaki hoki i nga mea o o ratou tuakana, o nga tama a Arona, i te mea e mahi ana i nga mea o te whare o Ihowa.
And let them keep the observances of the tabernacle of the covenant, and the ceremonies of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, that they may minister in the house of the Lord.
