1 Ljetopisa 23
1 Ostarjevši i nauživši se dana, postavi David svoga sina Salomona kraljem nad Izraelom.
And when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Potom skupi sve izraelske knezove, svećenike i levite.
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 On izbroji levite od trideset godina naviše, i bilo ih je po muškim glavama trideset i osam tisuća.
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 Između njih bilo je dvadeset i četiri tisuće onih koji su upravljali poslom oko Jahvina Doma, a šest tisuća nadzornika i sudaca,
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 četiri tisuće vratara i četiri tisuće onih koji su hvalili Jahvu uz glazbala što ih je napravio za hvalu.
And four thousand were gatekeepers: and four thousand those who praised the Lord with the instruments which I have made, to praise therewith.
6 David ih razdijeli na redove po Levijevim sinovima: Geršonu, Kehatu i Merariju.
And David divided them into divisions after the sons of Levi, after Gershon, Kehath, and Merari.
7 Od Geršonova su koljena bili: Ladan i Šimej.
Of the Gershunites: La'dan, and Shim'i.
8 Ladanovi sinovi: poglavari Jehiel, Zetam i Joel, njih trojica.
The sons of La'dan: The chief was Jechiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9 Šimejevi sinovi: Šelomit, Haziel i Haram, njih trojica; to su poglavari Ladanovih obitelji.
The sons of Shim'i: Shelomith, and Chaziel, and Haran, three. These were the chiefs of the families of La'dan.
10 Šimejevi sinovi: Jahat, Zina, Jeuš i Berija. Ta su četvorica Šimejevi sinovi.
And the sons of Shim'i were, Jachath, Zina, and Je'ush, and Beri'ah. These four were the sons of Shim'i.
11 Jahat je bio poglavar, a drugi Ziza; a Jeuš i Berija nisu imali mnogo djece, zato su se brojili u jednu obitelj, u jedan razred.
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 Kehatovi sinovi: Amram, Jishar, Hebron i Uziel, četvorica.
The sons of Kehath: 'Amram, Yizhar, Hebron, and 'Uzziel, four.
13 Amramovi sinovi: Aron i Mojsije. Aron je bio određen da posvećuje Svetinju nad svetinjama; on i njegovi sinovi dovijeka da kade pred Jahvom, da mu služe i da blagoslivljaju u njegovo ime dovijeka.
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 Mojsije je bio Božji čovjek. Njegovi se sinovi broje u Levijevo pleme.
But as regardeth Moses the man of God, his sons were named after the tribe of Levi.
15 Mojsijevi su sinovi Geršom i Eliezer.
The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eli'ezer.
16 Geršomovi sinovi: poglavar Šebuel.
Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
17 Eliezerovi su sinovi bili: poglavar Rehabja. Eliezer nije imao drugih sinova, nego su se Rehabjini sinovi vrlo namnožili.
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 Jisharovi sinovi: poglavar Šelomit.
Of the sons of Yizhar, was Shelomith the chief.
19 Hebronovi sinovi: poglavar Jerija, drugi Amarja, treći Jahaziel, četvrti Jekamam.
The sons of Hebron: Jeriyahu the chief, Amaryah the second, Jachaziel the third, and Jekam'am the fourth.
20 Uzielovi sinovi: poglavar Mika, drugi Ješija.
The sons of 'Uzziel: Michah the chief, and Yishiyah the second.
21 Merarijevi sinovi: Mahli i Muši. Mahlijevi sinovi: Eleazar i Kiš.
The sons of Merari: Machli, and Mushi. The sons of Machli: El'azar, and Kish.
22 Eleazar je umro nemajući sinova, nego samo kćeri, koje su sebi uzeli za žene njihovi rođaci, Kiševi sinovi.
And El'azar died, and had no sons, but daughters; and the sons of Kish, their brethren, took them [for wives].
23 Mušijevi sinovi: Mahli, Eder i Jerimot, trojica.
The sons of Mushi: Machli, and 'Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24 To su bili Levijevi sinovi po obiteljima, poglavari porodica, koji su bili popisani poimence; oni su radili posao za službu Jahvina Doma u dobi od dvadeset godina naviše.
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 David je rekao: “Jahve, Izraelov Bog, dao je mir svojem narodu i živjet će u Jeruzalemu zauvijek.
For David said, The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, and he dwelleth in Jerusalem for evermore.
26 Zato ni leviti neće više nositi Prebivališta ni svakovrsnog pribora za njegovu službu.”
And also the Levites are no more bound to carry the tabernacle, and all its vessels for the service thereof.
27 Po posljednjim Davidovim riječima, bili su izbrojeni Levijevi sinovi od dvadeset godina naviše.
Therefore by the last words of David were there numbered of the Levites those who were from twenty years old and above;
28 Bili su određeni da budu kraj Aronovih sinova u službi u Jahvinu Domu, u predvorjima i u dvoranama, da čiste sve svete stvari, da rade u službi oko Jahvina Doma,
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 oko prinesenih hljebova, oko sitnog brašna za prinos, oko beskvasnih kolača pripravljenih na tavi i u ulju zamiješenih i oko mjera za sadržaj i dužinu;
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 da pristupaju svakoga jutra, da slave i hvale Jahvu; tako i večerom.
And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and so also at evening,
31 A kad se god prinose paljenice Jahvi, subotom, za mlađaka i na blagdane, da dolaze prema svom broju, po svom redu, svagdje pred Jahvu.
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 I da vrše što treba vršiti u Šatoru sastanka, službu u Svetištu i službu za svoju braću, Aronove sinove, u službi oko Jahvina Doma.
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.
