1 Nigain-kantetse t’i Davide naho nilifots’andro; vaho nanoe’e mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Selomò ana-dahi’e.
Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Le natonto’e iaby o roandria’ Israeleo naho o mpisoroñeo vaho o nte-Levio.
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 Niaheñe amo añambone’eo ki-ondaty-ondaty, o nte-Levy telopolo taoñe mañamboneo, le ni-telo-ale-tsi-valo-arivo.
And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
4 Ro’ale-tsi-efats’ arivo am’ iereo ty hisary ty fitoloñañe amy anjomba’ Iehovày; le eneñ’ arivo ty ho mpifeleke naho mpizaka;
Of these, twenty and four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:
5 le efats’arivo ty hañamben-dalambey; vaho efats’ arivo ty hisabo am’ Iehovà amo fititihañe niranjieko ho fijejoañeo.
and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, [said David], to praise therewith.

And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning.

These were the sons of Levi after their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of those of them that were counted, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from twenty years old and upward.
25 Ami’ty nanoe’ i Davide ty hoe, Fa tinolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele fitofàñe ondati’eo; ie himoneñe e Ierosalaime ao nainai’e.
For David said, The LORD, the God of Israel, hath given rest unto his people; and he dwelleth in Jerusalem for ever:
26 Le o nte-Levio: tsy ho tarazoe’ iereo ka i kivohoy ndra o fana-pitoloñañeo.
and also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the tabernacle and all the vessels of it for the service thereof.

For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of the house of God;
29 amy mofo miatrekey naho amy mona’e ho enga-mahakamay naho ty mofo-pila’e tsy aman-dalivay, ke t’ie toñaheñe añ’ endraendra he alaro menake naho ze hene fañaranañe naho fanjeheañe;
for the shewbread also, and for 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 manner of measure and size;
30 naho t’ie hijohañe eo boa-maraiñe, hañandriañe naho handrenge Iehovà, naho hariva ka;
and to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even;
31 naho hañenga ze hene soroñe am’ Iehovà, amo Sabatao naho amo pea-bolañeo naho amo andro namantañañeo, ami’ty ia’e nafetse, añatrefa’ Iehovà nainai’ey;
