Chronicles I 23
1 And David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel in his stead.
David te fin vye granmoun, li te fin viv kont li, lè li mete Salomon, pitit li a, wa sou pèp Izrayèl la.
2 And he assembled all the chief men of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites.
Li reyini tout chèf pèp Izrayèl yo, tout prèt yo ak tout moun Levi yo.
3 And the Levites numbered [themselves] from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls amounted to thirty and eight thousand men.
Li fè konte tout moun Levi yo, depi sa ki gen trantan pou pi piti rive sou sa ki pi gran yo. Antou yo jwenn trantwimil (38.000) gason.
4 Of the overseers over the works of the house of the Lord [there were] twenty-four thousand, and [there were] six thousand scribes and judges;
David mete vennkatmil (24.000) pou dirije travay tanp lan, simil (6000) pou ekri tou sa k'ap pase ak pou rann jistis,
5 and four thousand doorkeepers, and four thousand to praise the Lord with instruments which he made to praise the Lord.
katmil (4000) pou fè pòs nan pòtay la ak katmil (4000) pou fè lwanj Seyè a ak enstriman mizik David te fè fè pou sa.
6 And David divided them [into] daily courses, for the sons of Levi, for Gedson, Caath, and Merari.
David separe moun Levi yo fè twa gwoup dapre branch fanmi pitit gason Levi yo: Gèchon, Keyat ak Merari.
7 And for [the family of] Gedson, Edan, and Semei.
Gèchon te gen de pitit gason: Layedan ak Chimèyi.
8 The sons of Edan [were] Jeiel, the chief, and Zethan, and Joel, three.
Layedan te fè twa pitit gason: Yekiyèl, pi gran an, Zetam ak Joèl.
9 The sons of Semei; Salomith, Jeiel, and Dan, three: these [were] the chiefs of the families of Edan.
Chimeyi te fè twa pitit gason tou: Chelomit, Aziyèl ak Aran. Se yo ki te chèf fanmi moun Layedan yo.
10 And to the sons of Semei, Jeth, and Ziza, and Joas, and Beria: these [were] the four sons of Semei.
Chimeyi te gen kat lòt pitit gason: Jaka, Ziza, Jeouch ak Berya.
11 And Jeth was the chief, and Ziza the second: and Joas and Beria did not multiply sons, and they became [only] one reckoning according to the house of their father.
Se Jaka ki te pi gran, Ziza te dezyèm pitit la. Jeouch ak Berya pa t' gen anpil pitit. Se konsa yo mete yo ansanm, yo pase pou yon sèl branch fanmi.
12 The sons of Caath; Ambram, Isaar, Chebron, Oziel, four.
Keyat te gen kat pitit: Amram, Jizeya, Ebwon ak Ouzyèl.
13 The sons of Ambram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was appointed for the consecration of the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister and bless in his name for ever.
Amram te gen de pitit gason: Arawon ak Moyiz. Bondye te mete Arawon ak pitit li yo apa pou yo okipe pyès ki apa nèt pou Bondye a, pou boule lansan devan Seyè a, pou yo sèvi l', pou yo beni pèp la nan non li. Se te travay pa yo sa pou tout tan.
14 And [as for] Moses the man of God, his sons were reckoned to the tribe of Levi.
Moyiz te moun Bondye a menm. Pitit li yo te fè pati branch fanmi Levi a tou.
15 The sons of Moses; Gersam, and Eliezer.
Moyiz te gen de pitit gason: Gèchòm ak Elyezè.
16 The sons of Gersam; Subael the chief.
Premye pitit Gèchòm lan te rele Chebwèl.
17 And the sons of Eliezer were, Rabia the chief: and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rabia were very greatly multiplied.
Elyezè li menm te gen Rekabya pou premye pitit. Li pa t' fè lòt pitit gason ankò. Men Rekabya te fè anpil pitit.
18 The sons of Isaar; Salomoth the chief.
Premye pitit Jizeya a te rele Chelomit.
19 The sons of Chebron; Jeria the chief, Amaria the second, Jeziel the third, Jekemias the fourth.
Men pitit Ebwon yo: Premye a te rele Jerija, dezyèm lan Amarya, twazyèm lan Jakazyèl, katriyèm lan Jekameam.
20 The sons of Oziel; Micha the chief, and Isia the second.
Men pitit Ouzyèl yo: Miche, premye a ak Jikija, dezyèm lan.
21 The sons of Merari; Mooli, and Musi: the sons of Mooli; Eleazar, and Kis.
Merari te gen de pitit gason: Makli ak Mouchi. Makli te gen de pitit gason: Eleaza ak Kich.
22 And Eleazar died, and he had no sons, but daughters: and the sons of Kis, their brethren, took them.
Eleaza mouri san kite pitit gason. Pitit fi ase li te genyen. Yo marye ak kouzen yo, pitit gason Kich yo.
23 The sons of Musi; Mooli, and Eder, and Jarimoth, three.
Mouchi te gen twa pitit gason: Makli, Edè ak Jerimòt.
24 These [are] the sons of Levi according to the houses of their fathers; chiefs of their families according to their numbering, according to the number of their names, according to their polls, doing the works of service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward.
Se tout moun nan ras Levi yo sa, dapre fanmi yo, ki te gen non yo kouche nan rejis tankou chèf fanmi. Yo chak te gen travay pa yo nan sèvis kay Seyè a, depi sa ki gen ventan pou pi piti rive sou pi gran yo.
25 For David said, The Lord God of Israel has given rest to his people, and has taken up his abode in Jerusalem for ever.
David te di: -Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te fè pèp li a viv ak kè poze. Li menm, Seyè a, l'ap toujou rete lavil Jerizalèm.
26 And the Levites bore not the tabernacle, and all the vessels of it for its service.
Konsa, moun Levi yo p'ap nan pote Tant Randevou Seyè a ankò ansanm ak tout bagay yo bezwen pou fè sèvis pou li ankò.
27 For by the last words of David was the number of the Levites [taken] from twenty years old and upward.
Se konsa, dapre dènye pawòl sa yo David te di lè sa a, yo enskri tout moun Levi yo, depi sa ki gen ventan pou pi piti rive sou pi gran yo.
28 For he appointed them to wait on Aaron, to minister in the house of the Lord, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purification of all the holy things, and over the works of the service of the house of God;
Travay yo se ede prèt yo, pitit Arawon yo, nan sèvis y'ap fè nan Tanp Seyè a. Se yo ki pou okipe lakou yo ak tout pyès nan Tanp lan. Se yo ki pou veye pou tout bagay rete nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a. Se yo ki reskonsab tout lòt sèvis nan Tanp lan.
29 and for the show-bread, and for the fine flour of the meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for the fried cake, and for the dough, and for every measure;
Yo te reskonsab pen yo te ofri bay Bondye yo, farin frans yo sèvi pou fè ofrann yo, pen san ledven yo, ofrann farin melanje ak lwil yo. Se yo ki te reskonsab peze ak mezire ofrann nan Tanp lan.
30 and to stand in the morning to praise and give thanks to the Lord, and so in the evening;
Lèfini, se pou yo la nan Tanp lan chak jou, nan maten ak nan aswè, pou di Bondye mèsi, pou fè lwanj pou li.
31 and [to be] over all the whole burnt offerings that were offered up to the Lord on the sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts, by number, according to the order [given] to them, continually before the Lord.
Se pou yo la tou lè y'ap fè ofrann pou yo boule nèt pou Seyè a jou repo yo, premye jou chak mwa yo, ak pou lòt jou fèt yo. Te gen regleman ki te bay travay moun Levi yo gen pou fè ak kantite moun ki pou fè chak travay. Se te reskonsablite yo pou yo te toujou ap sèvi Seyè a.
32 And they are to keep the charge of the tabernacle of witness, and the charge of the holy place, and the charges of the sons of Aaron their brethren, to minister in the house of the Lord.
Se yo menm tou ki te reskonsab okipe Tant Randevou a, ak kote yo mete apa pou Seyè a, ak prèt yo, fanmi yo ki soti nan branch fanmi Arawon an, lè y'ap sèvi nan Tanp lan.
