١ أخبار 23
| وَلَمَّا شَاخَ دَاوُدُ وَشَبِعَ أَيَّامًا مَلَّكَ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَهُ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ 1 |
When David was old and full of years, he installed his son Solomon as king over Israel.
| وَجَمَعَ كُلَّ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ، | ٢ 2 |
Then he gathered all the leaders of Israel, as well as the priests and Levites.
| فَعُدَّ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ مِنِ ٱبْنِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ، فَكَانَ عَدَدُهُمْ حَسَبَ رُؤُوسِهِمْ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ ثَمَانِيَةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا. | ٣ 3 |
The Levites thirty years of age or older were counted, and the total number of men was 38,000.
| مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ لِلْمُنَاظَرَةِ عَلَى عَمَلِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا. وَسِتَّةُ آلَافٍ عُرَفَاءُ وَقُضَاةٌ. | ٤ 4 |
“Of these,” said David, “24,000 are to oversee the work of the house of the LORD, 6,000 are to be officers and judges,
| وَأَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ بَوَّابُونَ، وَأَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ مُسَبِّحُونَ لِلرَّبِّ بِٱلْآلَاتِ ٱلَّتِي عُمِلَتْ لِلتَّسْبِيحِ. | ٥ 5 |
4,000 are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000 are to praise the LORD with the instruments I have made for giving praise.”
| وَقَسَمَهُمْ دَاوُدُ فِرَقًا لِبَنِي لَاوِي: لِجَرْشُونَ وَقَهَاتَ وَمَرَارِي. | ٦ 6 |
Then David divided the Levites into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.
| مِنَ ٱلْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ: لَعْدَانُ وَشَمْعِي. | ٧ 7 |
The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
| بَنُو لَعْدَانَ: ٱلرَّأْسُ يَحِيئِيلُ ثُمَّ زِيثَامُ وَيُوئِيلُ، ثَلَاثَةٌ. | ٨ 8 |
The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all.
| بَنُو شَمْعِي: شَلُومِيثُ وَحَزِيئِيلُ وَهَارَانُ، ثَلَاثَةٌ. هَؤُلَاءِ رُؤُوسُ آبَاءٍ لِلَعْدَانَ. | ٩ 9 |
The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan.
| وَبَنُو شَمْعِي: يَحَثُ وَزِينَا وَيَعُوشُ وَبَرِيعَةُ. هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو شَمْعِي أَرْبَعَةٌ. | ١٠ 10 |
And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.
| وَكَانَ يَحَثُ ٱلرَّأْسَ وَزِيزَةُ ٱلثَّانِيَ. أَمَّا يَعُوشُ وَبَرِيعَةُ فَلَمْ يُكَثِّرَا ٱلْأَوْلَادَ، فَكَانُوا فِي ٱلْإِحْصَاءِ لِبَيْتِ أَبٍ وَاحِدٍ. | ١١ 11 |
Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were counted as one family and received a single assignment.
| بَنُو قَهَاتَ: عَمْرَامُ وَيِصْهَارُ وَحَبْرُونُ وَعُزِّيئِيلُ، أَرْبَعَةٌ. | ١٢ 12 |
The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all.
| اِبْنَا عَمْرَامَ: هَارُونُ وَمُوسَى، وَأُفْرِزَ هَارُونُ لِتَقْدِيسِهِ قُدْسَ أَقْدَاسٍ هُوَ وَبَنُوهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، لِيُوقِدَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَيَخْدِمَهُ وَيُبَارِكَ بِٱسْمِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ١٣ 13 |
The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were set apart forever to consecrate the most holy things, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister before Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name forever.
| وَأَمَّا مُوسَى رَجُلُ ٱللهِ فَدُعِيَ بَنُوهُ مَعَ سِبْطِ لَاوِي. | ١٤ 14 |
As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
| اِبْنَا مُوسَى: جَرْشُومُ وَأَلِيعَزَرُ. | ١٥ 15 |
The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
| بَنُو جَرْشُومَ: شَبُوئِيلُ ٱلرَّأْسُ. | ١٦ 16 |
The descendants of Gershom: Shebuel was the first.
| وَكَانَ ٱبْنُ أَلِيعَزَرَ: رَحَبْيَا ٱلرَّأْسَ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَلِيعَزَرَ بَنُونَ آخَرُونَ. وَأَمَّا بَنُو رَحَبْيَا فَكَانُوا كَثِيرِينَ جِدًّا. | ١٧ 17 |
The descendants of Eliezer: Rehabiah was the first. Eliezer did not have any other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous.
| بَنُو يِصْهَارَ: شَلُومِيثُ ٱلرَّأْسُ. | ١٨ 18 |
The sons of Izhar: Shelomith was the first.
| بَنُو حَبْرُونَ: يَرِيَّا ٱلرَّأْسُ وَأَمَرْيَا ٱلثَّانِي وَيَحْزِيئِيلُ ٱلثَّالِثُ وَيَقْمَعَامُ ٱلرَّابِعُ. | ١٩ 19 |
The sons of Hebron: Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
| اِبْنَا عُزِّيئِيلَ: مِيخَا ٱلرَّأْسُ وَيَشِّيَّا ٱلثَّانِي. | ٢٠ 20 |
The sons of Uzziel: Micah was the first and Isshiah the second.
| اِبْنَا مَرَارِي: مَحْلِي وَمُوشِي. اِبْنَا مَحْلِي: أَلِعَازَارُ وَقَيْسُ. | ٢١ 21 |
The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
| وَمَاتَ أَلِعَازَارُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بَنُونَ بَلْ بَنَاتٌ، فَأَخَذَهُنَّ بَنُو قَيْسَ إِخْوَتُهُنَّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Eleazar died without having any sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
| بَنُو مُوشِي: مَحْلِي وَعَادِرُ وَيَرِيمُوثُ، ثَلَاثَةٌ. | ٢٣ 23 |
The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth —three in all.
| هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو لَاوِي حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْآبَاءِ حَسَبَ إِحْصَائِهِمْ فِي عَدَدِ ٱلْأَسْمَاءِ حَسَبَ رُؤُوسِهِمْ عَامِلُو ٱلْعَمَلِ لِخِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، مِنِ ٱبْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
These were the descendants of Levi by their families—the heads of families, registered individually by name—those twenty years of age or older who worked in the service of the house of the LORD.
| لِأَنَّ دَاوُدَ قَالَ: «قَدْ أَرَاحَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبَهُ فَسَكَنَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
For David had said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, has given rest to His people and has come to dwell in Jerusalem forever.
| وَلَيْسَ لِلَّاوِيِّينَ بَعْدُ أَنْ يَحْمِلُوا ٱلْمَسْكَنَ وَكُلَّ آنِيَتِهِ لِخِدْمَتِهِ». | ٢٦ 26 |
So now the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles for its service.”
| لِأَنَّهُ حَسَبَ كَلَامِ دَاوُدَ ٱلْأَخِيرِ عُدَّ بَنُو لَاوِي مِنِ ٱبْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
For according to the final instructions of David, the Levites twenty years of age or older were counted,
| لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَقِفُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ بَنِي هَارُونَ عَلَى خِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ٱلدُّورِ وَٱلْمَخَادِعِ، وَعَلَى تَطْهِيرِ كُلِّ قُدْسٍ وَعَمَلِ خِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، | ٢٨ 28 |
but their duty was to assist the descendants of Aaron with the service of the house of the LORD, being responsible for the courts and chambers, the purification of all the holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God,
| وَعَلَى خُبْزِ ٱلْوُجُوهِ وَدَقِيقِ ٱلتَّقْدِمَةِ وَرِقَاقِ ٱلْفَطِيرِ وَمَا يُعْمَلُ عَلَى ٱلصَّاجِ وَٱلْمَرْبُوكَاتِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ كَيْلٍ وَقِيَاسٍ، | ٢٩ 29 |
as well as for the rows of the showbread, the fine flour for the grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the baking, the mixing, and all measurements of quantity and size.
| وَلِأَجْلِ ٱلْوُقُوفِ كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ لِحَمْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَتَسْبِيحِهِ وَكَذَلِكَ فِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ، | ٣٠ 30 |
They were also to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the LORD, and likewise in the evening.
| وَلِكُلِّ إِصْعَادِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلرَّبِّ فِي ٱلسُّبُوتِ وَٱلْأَهِلَّةِ وَٱلْمَوَاسِمِ بِٱلْعَدَدِ حَسَبَ ٱلْمَرْسُومِ عَلَيْهِمْ دَائِمًا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، | ٣١ 31 |
Whenever burnt offerings were presented to the LORD on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts, they were to serve regularly before the LORD in the numbers prescribed for them.
| وَلِيَحْرُسُوا حِرَاسَةَ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَحِرَاسَةَ ٱلْقُدْسِ، وَحِرَاسَةَ بَنِي هَارُونَ إِخْوَتِهِمْ فِي خِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٣٢ 32 |
So the Levites were to carry out the responsibilities for the Tent of Meeting and the Holy Place, and, under their brothers the descendants of Aaron, the service of the house of the LORD.
