1 Da: ibidi da da: idafa hamonoba, e da egefe Soloumane da Isala: ili fi ilia hina bagade hamoi.
And David being old and full of days, made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Hina bagade Da: ibidi da Isala: ili fi ouligisu dunu amola gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai fi dunu huluane gilisi.
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, and the priests and Levites.
3 E da Lifai fi dunumusu amo da ode 30 agoane lalelegele esalu, amola ode 30 baligi, amo idimusa: ilia dio dedei. Ili idi da 38,000 agoane ba: i.
And the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years, and upwards: and there were found of them thirty-eight thousand men.
4 Da: ibidi da ilima hawa: hamosu agoane ilelegei. Dunu 24,000 agoane da Debolo Diasu ouligima: ne ilelegei. Dunu 6,000 agoane da dawa: musa: dedene legesu ouligima: ne amola sia: ga gegesu fofada: su ouligima: ne ilelegei. Dunu 4,000 agoane da sosodo aligisu ouligima: ne ilelegei. Dunu 4,000 agoane da gesami hea: sa dusu liligi amo Da: ibidi ea i, amoga Hina Godema nodoma: ne ilelegei.
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.
Moreover four thousand were porters: and as many singers singing to the Lord with the instruments, which he had made to sing with.
6 Da: ibidi da gilisisu udiana hamoma: ne, Lifai fi dunu momogi. Amo gilisisu udiana da Gesione sosogo, Gouha: de sosogo amola Milalai sosogo.
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 Gesione ea mano aduna da La: ida: ne amola Simiai.
The sons of Gerson were Leedan and Semei.
8 La: ida: ne ea mano udiana da Yihaiele, Sida: me amola Youele.
The sons of Leedan: the chief Jahiel, and Zethan, and Joel, three.

The sons of Semei: Salomith, and Hosiel, and Aran, three: these were the heads of the families of Leedan.

And the sons of Semei were Leheth, and Ziza, and Jaus, and Baria: these were the sons of Semei, four.
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 Gouha: de ea mano biyaduale da A: mala: me, Aisiha, Hibalone amola Asaiele.
The sons of Caath were Amram, and Isaar, Hebron, and Oziel, four.
13 Ea magobo dunu mano da A: mala: me. A: mala: me, egefela da Elane amola Mousese. (Elane amola egaga fi, ilia hawa: hamosu da agoane ilegei.

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 Be Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousesegefela, da Lifai fi amo ganodini idi.)
The sons also of Moses, the man of God, were numbered in the tribe of Levi.

And Eleazar died, and had no sons but daughters: and the sons of Cis their brethren took them.
23 Milalai egefe magobo bagia amo Miusiai egefelali da Malai, Ide amola Yelimode.
The sons of Musi: Moholi, and Eder, and Jerimoth, three.
24 Amo dunu huluane da Lifai egaga fifi misi. Ili huluane da ilia dio amola ilia sosogo fi defele, dedene legei ba: i. Lifai egaga fi dunu amo da ode 20 amola baligi, ilia huluane afae afae da Hina Gode Ea Debolo Diasu ganodini hawa: hamonanu.
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 Da: ibidi da amane sia: i, “Isala: ili fi ilia Hina Gode da Ea fi ilima olofosu i dagoi. Amola Hisu da Yelusaleme ganodini eso huluane esalalalumu.
For David said: The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest to his people, and a habitation in Jerusalem for ever.
26 Amaiba: le, Lifai fi dunu ilia da Hina Gode Ea Hadigi Abula Diasu amola liligi Godema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: hamoi, amo gaguli masunu hawa: hamosu da hame gala.”
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 Da: ibidi ea dagomusa: gini hamoma: ne sia: beba: le, Lifai dunu huluane da ilia lalelegei ode 20 amoga doaga: loba, hawa: hamoma: ne dedene legei.
So according to the last precepts of David, the sons of Levi are to be numbered from twenty years old and upward.
28 - Ilia da amo hawa: hamoma: ne ilegei: - (a) Elane egaga fi gobele salasu dunu, ilia Debolo Diasu ganodini Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu, amo fidima: ne ilegei.

Amola ilia da ilia fi dunu amo Elane egaga fi gobele salasu dunu, amo ilia Debolo ganodini Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu hou fidima: ne, Lifai fi da ilegei dagoi ba: i.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
