I Chronicles 23

Ostarjevši i nauživši se dana, postavi David svoga sina Salomona kraljem nad Izraelom.

So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

Potom skupi sve izraelske knezove, svećenike i levite.

And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

On izbroji levite od trideset godina naviše, i bilo ih je po muškim glavama trideset i osam tisuća.

Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.

Između njih bilo je dvadeset i četiri tisuće onih koji su upravljali poslom oko Jahvina Doma, a šest tisuća nadzornika i sudaca,

Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:

četiri tisuće vratara i četiri tisuće onih koji su hvalili Jahvu uz glazbala što ih je napravio za hvalu.

Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.

David ih razdijeli na redove po Levijevim sinovima: Geršonu, Kehatu i Merariju.

And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

Od Geršonova su koljena bili: Ladan i Šimej.

Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.

Ladanovi sinovi: poglavari Jehiel, Zetam i Joel, njih trojica.

The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.

Šimejevi sinovi: Šelomit, Haziel i Haram, njih trojica; to su poglavari Ladanovih obitelji.

The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.

Šimejevi sinovi: Jahat, Zina, Jeuš i Berija. Ta su četvorica Šimejevi sinovi.

And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

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 Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's house.

Kehatovi sinovi: Amram, Jishar, Hebron i Uziel, četvorica.

The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

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 separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.

Mojsije je bio Božji čovjek. Njegovi se sinovi broje u Levijevo pleme.

Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.

Mojsijevi su sinovi Geršom i Eliezer.

The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.

Geršomovi sinovi: poglavar Šebuel.

Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.

Eliezerovi su sinovi bili: poglavar Rehabja. Eliezer nije imao drugih sinova, nego su se Rehabjini sinovi vrlo namnožili.

And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

Jisharovi sinovi: poglavar Šelomit.

Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.

Hebronovi sinovi: poglavar Jerija, drugi Amarja, treći Jahaziel, četvrti Jekamam.

Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

Uzielovi sinovi: poglavar Mika, drugi Ješija.

Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah the first, and Jesiah the second.

Merarijevi sinovi: Mahli i Muši. Mahlijevi sinovi: Eleazar i Kiš.

The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.

Eleazar je umro nemajući sinova, nego samo kćeri, koje su sebi uzeli za žene njihovi rođaci, Kiševi sinovi.

And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.

Mušijevi sinovi: Mahli, Eder i Jerimot, trojica.

The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.

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 the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward.

David je rekao: "Jahve, Izraelov Bog, dao je mir svojem narodu i živjet će u Jeruzalemu zauvijek.

For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:

Zato ni leviti neće više nositi Prebivališta ni svakovrsnog pribora za njegovu službu."

And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.

Po posljednjim Davidovim riječima, bili su izbrojeni Levijevi sinovi od dvadeset godina naviše.

For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:

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 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, and the work of the service of the house of God;

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;

Both for the shewbread, 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 fried, and for all manner of measure and size;

da pristupaju svakoga jutra, da slave i hvale Jahvu; tako i večerom.

And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even;

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 to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD:

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 holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.
