१ इतिहास 23
1 जब दाऊद वृद्ध भएका र आफ्नो जीवनको अन्तिम क्षणमा थिए, तब तिनले आफ्ना छोरा सोलोमनलाई इस्राएलमाथि राजा बनाए ।
And when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 पूजाहारीहरू र लेवीहरूसँगै तिनले इस्राएलका सबै अगुवाहरूलाई भेला गराए ।
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 तीस वर्ष र त्योभन्दा बढी उमेरका लेवीहरूको सङ्ख्याको गणना भयो । तिनीहरूको संख्या अठ्तीस हजार थियो ।
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 “तिमध्येका चौबीस हजारको काम परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको कामको रेखदेख गर्ने थियो, र छ हजार अधिकारीहरू र न्यायकर्ताहरू थिए ।
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 चार हजार द्वारपालहरू, र चार हजारले मैले दिएका बाजा बजाएर परमप्रभुको स्तुतिगान गर्नपर्छ,” दाऊदले भने ।
And four thousand were gatekeepers: and four thousand those who praised the Lord with the instruments which I have made, to praise therewith.
6 तिनले उनीहरूलाई लेवीका छोराहरू गेर्शोन, कहात र मरारीका नाउँबमोजिम विभाजन गरे ।
And David divided them into divisions after the sons of Levi, after Gershon, Kehath, and Merari.
7 लादान र शिमी गेर्शोनका वंशका थिए ।
Of the Gershunites: La'dan, and Shim'i.
8 लादानका तीन छोराहरू: अगुवा यहीएल, जेताम र योएल थिए ।
The sons of La'dan: The chief was Jechiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9 शिमीका तिन छोराहरू: शलोमोत, हजीएल र हारान थिए । लादानका वंशका मुखियाहरू यी नै थिए ।
The sons of Shim'i: Shelomith, and Chaziel, and Haran, three. These were the chiefs of the families of La'dan.
10 शिमीका चार छोराहरूः यहत, जीजा, येऊश र बरीआ थिए ।
And the sons of Shim'i were, Jachath, Zina, and Je'ush, and Beri'ah. These four were the sons of Shim'i.
11 यहत जेठा थिए, जीजा माइला, तर येऊश र बरीआका धेरै छोराहरू थिएनन्, त्यसैले तिनीहरू एउटै कामको निम्ति एकै वंशको रूपमा गनिए ।
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 कहातका चार छोराहरू: अम्राम, यिसहार, हेब्रोन र उज्जीएल थिए ।
The sons of Kehath: 'Amram, Yizhar, Hebron, and 'Uzziel, four.
13 अम्रामका छोराहरू हारून र मोशा थिए । अति पवित्र कुराहरू अलग गर्न हारूनलाई चुनिएका थियो । तिनी र तिनका सन्तानहरूले परमप्रभुको सामु धूप चढाउनु, उहाँको सेवा गर्नु र उहाँको नाउँमा सधैं आशीर्वाद दिनुपर्थ्यो ।
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 तर परमेश्वरका मानिस मोशाका छोराहरू भने लेवीकै कुलका मानिए ।
But as regardeth Moses the man of God, his sons were named after the tribe of Levi.
15 मोशाका छोराहरू गेर्शोम र एलीएजर थिए ।
The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eli'ezer.
16 गेर्शोमका सन्तानमा शूबाएल जेठा थिए ।
Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
17 एलीएजरका सन्तान रहब्याह थिए । एलीएजरका अरू छोरा थिएनन्, तर रहब्याहका धेरै सन्तानहरू थिए ।
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 यिसहारका छोरा अगुवा शलोमीत थिए ।
Of the sons of Yizhar, was Shelomith the chief.
19 हेब्रोनका छोराहरू यरियाह जेठा, अमर्याह माइला, यहासेल साँइला र यकमाम कान्छ थिए ।
The sons of Hebron: Jeriyahu the chief, Amaryah the second, Jachaziel the third, and Jekam'am the fourth.
20 उज्जीएलका छोराहरू मीका जेठा र यिशियाह माइला थिए ।
The sons of 'Uzziel: Michah the chief, and Yishiyah the second.
21 मरारीका छोराहरू महली र मूशी थिए । महलीका छोराहरू एलाजार र कीश थिए ।
The sons of Merari: Machli, and Mushi. The sons of Machli: El'azar, and Kish.
22 एलाजार छोराहरू नभै मरे । तिनका छोरीहरू मात्र थिए । कीशका छोराहरूले तिनीहरूलाई विवाह गरे ।
And El'azar died, and had no sons, but daughters; and the sons of Kish, their brethren, took them [for wives].
23 मूशीका तिन छोराहरू महली, एदेर र यरीमोत थिए ।
The sons of Mushi: Machli, and 'Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24 आ-आफ्ना वंशअनुसार लेवीका सन्तानहरू यी नै थिए । परमप्रभुको भवनमा सेवाको काम गर्ने वंशका नामअनुसार गनिएका र सूचिकृत गरिएका बीस वर्ष र त्योभन्दा बढी उमेरका अगुवाहरू तिनीहरू थिए ।
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 किनकि दाऊदले भने, “परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरले आफ्नो मानिसहरूलाई आराम दिनुभएको छ । उहाँले सदासर्वदाको निम्ति यरूशलेममा आफ्नो मन्दिर बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
For David said, The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, and he dwelleth in Jerusalem for evermore.
26 लेवीहरूले फेरि कहिल्यै पवित्र वासस्थान अथवा त्यसको सेवामा प्रयोग गरिने भाँडाहरू बोक्नुपर्दैन ।”
And also the Levites are no more bound to carry the tabernacle, and all its vessels for the service thereof.
27 किनकि दाऊदका अन्तिम वचनद्वारा बीस वर्ष र त्यसभन्दा बढी उमेरका लेवीहरूको सङ्ख्या गनिए ।
Therefore by the last words of David were there numbered of the Levites those who were from twenty years old and above;
28 तिनीहरूको काम परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको सेवामा हारूनका सन्तानहरूलाई सघाउनुपर्ने थियो । तिनीहरूले चोक र कोठाहरूको रेखदेख गर्नुपर्ने, परमप्रभुका सबै पवित्र थोकहरू शुद्ध पार्नुपर्ने, र परमेश्वरका मन्दिरका सेवामा अरू काम गर्नुपर्ने थियो ।
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 उपस्थितिको रोटी, अन्नबलिको मसिनो पीठो, पातला अखमिरी रोटी, पोलेका र तेलमा पकाएका भेटीहरूको हेरविचार गर्नुपर्ने, अनि विभिन्न कुराहरू नाप्नको निम्ति ढक र तराजू तयार गर्नुपर्ने जिम्मा पनि तिनीहरूको थियो ।
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 हरेक बिहान परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद दिन र प्रशंसा चढाउन पनि तिनीहरू खडा हुन्थे । तिनीहरूले बेलुका,
And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and so also at evening,
31 र शबाथ र औंसीका चाडमा र चाडका दिनहरूमा परमप्रभुको निम्ति होमबलि चढाउने बेलामा पनि यसै गरे । तोकिएको संख्यामा नियमअनुसार जिम्मा दिइएकाहरू परमप्रभुको सामु उपस्थित हुनुपर्थ्यो ।
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 तिनीहरूको जिम्मामा भेट हुने पाल र पवित्रस्थान थिए, र आफ्ना आफन्त हारूनका सन्तानहरूलाई परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको सेवामा सहयोग गर्थे ।
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.
