1 Chronicles 23
1 Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
जब दाऊद वृद्ध भएका र आफ्नो जीवनको अन्तिम क्षणमा थिए, तब तिनले आफ्ना छोरा सोलोमनलाई इस्राएलमाथि राजा बनाए ।
2 He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
पूजाहारीहरू र लेवीहरूसँगै तिनले इस्राएलका सबै अगुवाहरूलाई भेला गराए ।
3 The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
तीस वर्ष र त्योभन्दा बढी उमेरका लेवीहरूको सङ्ख्याको गणना भयो । तिनीहरूको संख्या अठ्तीस हजार थियो ।
4 David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the LORD’s house, six thousand were officers and judges,
“तिमध्येका चौबीस हजारको काम परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको कामको रेखदेख गर्ने थियो, र छ हजार अधिकारीहरू र न्यायकर्ताहरू थिए ।
5 four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made for giving praise.”
चार हजार द्वारपालहरू, र चार हजारले मैले दिएका बाजा बजाएर परमप्रभुको स्तुतिगान गर्नपर्छ,” दाऊदले भने ।
6 David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
तिनले उनीहरूलाई लेवीका छोराहरू गेर्शोन, कहात र मरारीका नाउँबमोजिम विभाजन गरे ।
7 Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
लादान र शिमी गेर्शोनका वंशका थिए ।
8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, Zetham, and Joel, three.
लादानका तीन छोराहरू: अगुवा यहीएल, जेताम र योएल थिए ।
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.
शिमीका तिन छोराहरू: शलोमोत, हजीएल र हारान थिए । लादानका वंशका मुखियाहरू यी नै थिए ।
10 The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
शिमीका चार छोराहरूः यहत, जीजा, येऊश र बरीआ थिए ।
11 Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning.
यहत जेठा थिए, जीजा माइला, तर येऊश र बरीआका धेरै छोराहरू थिएनन्, त्यसैले तिनीहरू एउटै कामको निम्ति एकै वंशको रूपमा गनिए ।
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
कहातका चार छोराहरू: अम्राम, यिसहार, हेब्रोन र उज्जीएल थिए ।
13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to him, and to bless in his name forever.
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 ।
14 But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
तर परमेश्वरका मानिस मोशाका छोराहरू भने लेवीकै कुलका मानिए ।
15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
मोशाका छोराहरू गेर्शोम र एलीएजर थिए ।
16 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.
गेर्शोमका सन्तानमा शूबाएल जेठा थिए ।
17 The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
एलीएजरका सन्तान रहब्याह थिए । एलीएजरका अरू छोरा थिएनन्, तर रहब्याहका धेरै सन्तानहरू थिए ।
18 The son of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.
यिसहारका छोरा अगुवा शलोमीत थिए ।
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
हेब्रोनका छोराहरू यरियाह जेठा, अमर्याह माइला, यहासेल साँइला र यकमाम कान्छ थिए ।
20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
उज्जीएलका छोराहरू मीका जेठा र यिशियाह माइला थिए ।
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
मरारीका छोराहरू महली र मूशी थिए । महलीका छोराहरू एलाजार र कीश थिए ।
22 Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only; and their relatives, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.
एलाजार छोराहरू नभै मरे । तिनका छोरीहरू मात्र थिए । कीशका छोराहरूले तिनीहरूलाई विवाह गरे ।
23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
मूशीका तिन छोराहरू महली, एदेर र यरीमोत थिए ।
24 These were the sons of Levi after their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the LORD’s house, from twenty years old and upward.
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 ।
25 For David said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
किनकि दाऊदले भने, “परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरले आफ्नो मानिसहरूलाई आराम दिनुभएको छ । उहाँले सदासर्वदाको निम्ति यरूशलेममा आफ्नो मन्दिर बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
26 Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”
लेवीहरूले फेरि कहिल्यै पवित्र वासस्थान अथवा त्यसको सेवामा प्रयोग गरिने भाँडाहरू बोक्नुपर्दैन ।”
27 For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were counted, from twenty years old and upward.
किनकि दाऊदका अन्तिम वचनद्वारा बीस वर्ष र त्यसभन्दा बढी उमेरका लेवीहरूको सङ्ख्या गनिए ।
28 For their duty was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the LORD’s house—in the courts, in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God’s house;
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 ।
29 for the show bread 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 measurements of quantity and size;
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 ।
30 and to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise in the evening;
हरेक बिहान परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद दिन र प्रशंसा चढाउन पनि तिनीहरू खडा हुन्थे । तिनीहरूले बेलुका,
31 and to offer all burnt offerings to the LORD on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before the LORD;
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 ।
32 and that they should keep the duty of the Tent of Meeting, the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers for the service of the LORD’s house.
तिनीहरूको जिम्मामा भेट हुने पाल र पवित्रस्थान थिए, र आफ्ना आफन्त हारूनका सन्तानहरूलाई परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको सेवामा सहयोग गर्थे ।
