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.
Now David was old and full of days; and he 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 leaders of Israel, with the priests and the 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.
The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
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.
David said, "Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Jehovah; six thousand were officers 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.
four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made, for giving praise."
6 A wehea ana ratou e Rawiri, he wehenga, he wehenga, ki nga tama a Riwai, a Kerehona, a Kohata, a Merari.
David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 O nga Kerehoni, ko Raarana, ko Himei.
Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
8 Ko nga tama a Raarana; ko te upoko ko Tehiere, ko Tetama, ko Hoera, tokotoru.
The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, 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 Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the ancestral houses of Ladan.
10 Na, ko nga tama a Himei; ko Iahata, ko Tina, ko Ieuhu, ko Peria. Ko enei tokowha he tama na Himei.
The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zizah, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
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.
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 Ko nga tama a Kohata; ko Amarama, ko Itihara, ko Heperona, ko Utiere, tokowha.
The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, 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, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, forever, to burn incense before Jehovah, to minister to him, and to bless in his name, forever.
14 Na ko Mohi tangata a te Atua, no te iwi o Riwai te karangatanga o ana tama.
But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
15 Ko nga tama a Mohi; ko Kerehoma, ko Erietere.
The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
16 O nga tama a Kerehoma, ko Hepuere te upoko.
The sons of Gershom: Shubael the chief.
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.
The sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18 O nga tama a Itihara; ko Heromiti te upoko.
The sons of Izhar: Shelomoth the chief.
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: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20 O nga tama a Utiere; ko Mika te upoko, ko Ihiia te tuarua.
The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah 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: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
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.
Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their brothers the sons of Kish took them as wives.
23 Ko nga tama a Muhi; ko Mahari, ko Erere, ko Teremoto, tokotoru.
The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, 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 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 Jehovah, 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, "Jehovah, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
26 Me nga Riwaiti, heoi ano ta ratou amohanga i te tapenakara, me ona mea katoa mo nga mahi ki reira.
Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service."
27 Na nga kupu whakamutunga hoki a Rawiri i taua ai nga Riwaiti e rua nei tekau, he maha atu hoki, o ratou tau.
For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were 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;
For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Jehovah, 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 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;
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 Hei tu i tenei ata, i tenei ata, ki te whakawhetai, ki te whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa; kia pera hoki i te ahiahi;
and to stand every morning to thank and praise Jehovah, and likewise 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:
and to offer all burnt offerings to Jehovah, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Jehovah;
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 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 Jehovah.
