1 Cronicas 23
1 Idi lakayen ni David ket umadanin ti ipapatayna, pinagbalinna nga ari iti entero nga Israel ti putotna a ni Solomon.
When David was old and full of years, he installed his son Solomon as king over Israel.
2 Inummongna dagiti amin a mangidadaulo iti Israel, agraman dagiti papadi ken dagiti Levita.
Then he gathered all the leaders of Israel, as well as the priests and Levites.
3 Dagiti Levita nga agtawen iti tallopulo nga agpangato ket nabilang. Tallopulo ket walo a ribu ti bilangda.
The Levites thirty years of age or older were counted, and the total number of men was 38,000.
4 Duapulo ket uppat a ribu kadagitoy ti mangimaton iti trabaho iti balay ni Yahweh ken innem a ribu dagiti opisial ken uk-ukom.
“Of these,” said David, “24,000 are to oversee the work of the house of the LORD, 6,000 are to be officers and judges,
5 Uppat a ribu dagiti agbantay iti ruangan; ken uppat a ribu dagiti agdayaw kenni Yahweh babaen kadagiti instrumento “nga inaramidko para iti panagdayaw,” kinuna ni David.
4,000 are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000 are to praise the LORD with the instruments I have made for giving praise.”
6 Biningay ida ni David iti bunggoy segun kadagiti putot ni Levi: da Gerson, Coat ken Merari.
Then David divided the Levites into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.
7 Manipud kadagiti puli a nagtaud kenni Gerson ket adda da Ladan ken Simei.
The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
8 Adda tallo a putot ni Ladan: ni Jeiel a mangidadaulo, da Zetam ken Joel.
The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all.
9 Adda tallo a putot ni Simei: da Selomot, Haziel ken Haran. Dagitoy dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti puli ni Ladan.
The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan.
10 Adda uppat a putot ni Simei: da Jahat, Zina, Jeus ken Berias.
And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.
11 Ni Jahat ti inauna, ni Zina ti maikadua ngem saan a naaddaan iti adu a putot da Jeus ken Berias, isu a naibilangda a kas maysa a puli nga addaan iti isu met laeng a pagrebbengan.
Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were counted as one family and received a single assignment.
12 Adda uppat a putot ni Coat: da Amram, Isar, Hebron ken Uzziel.
The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all.
13 Dagitoy dagiti putot ni Amram: da Aaron ken Moises. Ni Aaron ken dagiti kaputotanna ket napili nga agnanayon a mangidaton kadagiti banbanag a naan-anay a kukua laeng ni Yahweh, a mangidaton iti insenso kenni Yahweh, nga agserbi kenkuana, ken mangbendision babaen iti naganna iti agnanayon.
The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were set apart forever to consecrate the most holy things, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister before Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name forever.
14 Ngem maipapan kenni Moises a tao ti Dios, naibilang dagiti putotna a kas Levita.
As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
15 Dagiti putot ni Moises ket da Gersom ken Elieser.
The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
16 Ni Sebuel ti inauna kadagiti kaputotan ni Gersom.
The descendants of Gershom: Shebuel was the first.
17 Ti kaputotan ni Elieser ket ni Rehabia. Awanen ti dadduma pay a putot a lalaki ni Elieser, ngem adu ti kaputotan ni Rehabia.
The descendants of Eliezer: Rehabiah was the first. Eliezer did not have any other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous.
18 Ti putot ni Isar ket ni Selomit a mangidadaulo.
The sons of Izhar: Shelomith was the first.
19 Dagiti kaputotan ni Hebron ket ni Jerias nga inauna, ni Amarias a maikadua, ni Jahaziel a maikatlo ken ni Jekameam a maikauppat.
The sons of Hebron: Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20 Dagiti putot ni Uzziel ket ni Mica nga inauna ken ni Issias a maikadua.
The sons of Uzziel: Micah was the first and Isshiah the second.
21 Dagiti putot a lallaki ni Merari ket da Mali ken Musi. Dagiti putot ni Mali ket da Eleazar ken Kis.
The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
22 Natay ni Eleazar nga awan iti putotna a lalaki. Addaan laeng isuna kadagiti putot a babbai. Inasawa ida dagiti putot ni Kis.
Eleazar died without having any sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
23 Dagiti tallo a putot ni Musi ket da Mali, Eder ken Jeremot.
The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth —three in all.
24 Dagitoy dagiti kaputotan ni Levi segun kadagiti pulida. Isuda dagiti mangidadaulo, nabilang ken nailista ti naganda, kadagiti puli a nagtrabaho iti panagserbi iti balay ni Yahweh, manipud iti agtawen iti duapulo nga agpangato.
These were the descendants of Levi by their families—the heads of families, registered individually by name—those twenty years of age or older who worked in the service of the house of the LORD.
25 Ta kinuna ni David, “Inikkan ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel iti inana kadagiti tattaona. Nangaramid isuna iti pagtaenganna iti Jerusalem iti agnanayon.
For David had said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, has given rest to His people and has come to dwell in Jerusalem forever.
26 Saanen a kasapulan nga awiten dagiti Levita ti tabernakulo ken dagiti amin nga alikamen a mausar iti daytoy.
So now the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles for its service.”
27 Ta babaen iti maudi a sasao ni David, nabilang dagiti Levita manipud iti agtawen iti duapulo nga agpangato.
For according to the final instructions of David, the Levites twenty years of age or older were counted,
28 Ti pagrebbenganda ket mangtulong kadagiti kaputotan ni Aaron iti panagserbi iti balay ni Yahweh. Isuda ti mangaywan kadagiti paraangan, kadagiti siled, ti seremonia a panangdalus kadagiti amin a banbanag a kukua ni Yahweh ken dagiti dadduma a trabaho iti panagserbi iti balay ni Yahweh.
but their duty was to assist the descendants of Aaron with the service of the house of the LORD, being responsible for the courts and chambers, the purification of all the holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God,
29 Isuda pay ti makaammo iti maidaton a tinapay, ti kasasayaatan nga arina para kadagiti bukbukel a maidaton, dagiti awan lebadurana a tinapay, dagiti naluto a daton, dagiti daton a nalaokan iti lana, ken dagiti amin a rukod ti kaadu ken kadakkel dagiti banbanag.
as well as for the rows of the showbread, the fine flour for the grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the baking, the mixing, and all measurements of quantity and size.
30 Agtakderda pay a binigat tapno agyaman ken agdayaw kenni Yahweh. Aramidenda met daytoy iti rabii
They were also to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the LORD, and likewise in the evening.
31 ken iti tunggal panagidatagda kadagiti daton a mapuoran iti Aldaw a Panaginana ken kadagiti tiempo iti panagrambak iti baro a bulan ken kadagiti al-aldaw ti fiesta. Ti umno a bilang a naikeddeng babaen iti paglintegan ket rumbeng nga addada a kanayon iti sangoanan ni Yahweh.
Whenever burnt offerings were presented to the LORD on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts, they were to serve regularly before the LORD in the numbers prescribed for them.
32 Isuda ti akin-rebbeng iti tabernakulo, ti nasantoan a disso, ken tulonganda dagiti kapadada a kaputotan ni Aaron iti panagserbi iti balay ni Yahweh.
So the Levites were to carry out the responsibilities for the Tent of Meeting and the Holy Place, and, under their brothers the descendants of Aaron, the service of the house of the LORD.
