¹So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

¹David je torej, ko je bil star in dni svojih sit, postavil Salomona, sina svojega, za kralja nad Izraelom.

²And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

²In zbral je vse kneze Izraelove in duhovnike in levite.

³Now 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.

³Leviti pa so bili prešteti, od tridesetletnih in više, in njih število, od glave do glave, je bilo osemintrideset tisoč mož.

⁴Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:

⁴Iz teh je bilo štiriindvajset tisoč, ki naj bi nadzorovali delo pri hiši GOSPODOVI, in šest tisoč je bilo oblastnikov in sodnikov,

⁵Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.

⁵in štiri tisoč vratarjev in štiri tisoč, ki naj hvalijo GOSPODA z godali, ki sem jih napravil, je rekel David, da se ž njimi poje hvala.

⁶And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

⁶In David jih je razdelil v oddelke po sinovih Levijevih, po Gersonu, Kahatu in Merariju.

⁷Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.

⁷Gersonovci: Ladan in Simej.

⁸The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.

⁸Sinovi Ladanovi: Jehiel poglavar, Zetam in Joel, trije.

⁹The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.

⁹Sinovi Simejevi: Selomit, Haziel in Haran, trije. Ti so bili glave očetovinam Ladanovim.

¹⁰And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

¹⁰Sinovi Simejevi pa: Jahat, Ziza, Jeuš in Berija. Ti štirje so bili sinovi Simejevi.

¹¹And 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.

¹¹In Jahat je bil prvak in Ziza je bil drugi; a Jeuš in Berija nista imela mnogo sinov, zato so jih šteli za eno očetovsko hišo. –

¹²The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

¹²Sinovi Kahatovi: Amram, Izhar, Hebron in Uziel, štirje.

¹³The 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.

¹³Sinova Amramova: Aron in Mojzes. Aron pa je bil izločen, da bodi posvečen za najsvetejše, on in sinovi njegovi vekomaj, da naj palijo kadilo pred GOSPODOM, mu služijo in blagoslavljajo v njegovem imenu na vekomaj.

¹⁴Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.

¹⁴Kar se tiče Mojzesa, moža Božjega – sinovi njegovi so bili imenovani med rodom Levijevim.

¹⁵The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.

¹⁵Sinova Mojzesova: Gersom in Eliezer.

¹⁶Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.

¹⁶Sin Gersomov: Sebuel, poglavar.

¹⁷And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

¹⁷In sin Eliezerjev: Rehabija, poglavar. In Eliezer ni imel več sinov, ali sinov Rehabijevih je bilo mnogo.

¹⁸Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.

¹⁸Sin Izharjev: Selomit, poglavar.

¹⁹Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

¹⁹Sinovi Hebronovi: Jerija poglavar, Amarija, drugi, Jahaziel, tretji, in Jekameam, četrti.

²⁰Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first and Jesiah the second.

²⁰Sinova Uzielova: Miha, poglavar, in Išija, drugi.

²¹The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.

²¹Sinova Merarijeva: Mahli in Musi. Sinova Mahlijeva: Eleazar in Kis.

²²And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.

²²In Eleazar je umrl, imel ni sinov, samo hčere; in njih bratranci, sinovi Kisovi, so jih vzeli za žene.

²³The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.

²³Sinovi Musijevi: Mahli, Eder in Jeremot, trije.

²⁴These 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.

²⁴Ti so bili sinovi Levijevi po svojih očetovskih hišah, glave očetovinam, kakor so bili sešteti po imenih, od glave do glave, od dvajsetega leta in više, ki so opravljali delo službe pri hiši GOSPODOVI.

²⁵For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:

²⁵Kajti David je rekel: GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, je pripravil pokoj ljudstvu svojemu, in on prebiva v Jeruzalemu na vekomaj;

²⁶And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.

²⁶zato tudi ni treba levitom nositi več šatora in vseh njegovih priprav za službo v njem.

²⁷For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:

²⁷Kajti po zadnjih besedah Davidovih so bili sinovi Levijevi prešteti od dvajsetletnih in više.

²⁸Because 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;

²⁸Zakaj njih stojišče je bilo ob strani sinovom Aronovim pri službi doma GOSPODOVEGA, da nadzirajo dvorišča in hrame in očiščevanje vseh svetih reči in opravljajo službo hiše Božje,

²⁹Both 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;

²⁹in naj skrbe za razporedbo kruhov in za belo moko k jedilni daritvi, bodisi od nekvašenih mlincev ali pa kar se peče v ponvi ali kar se praži, in za vsakršno težo in mero,

³⁰And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even:

³⁰ter naj stojé vsako jutro, da hvalijo in slave GOSPODA, takisto zvečer,

³¹And 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:

³¹in darujejo vse žgalne daritve GOSPODU ob sobotah, ob mlajih in ob določenih praznikih po predpisanem številu neprenehoma pred GOSPODOM,in naj strežejo v straži pri shodnem šatoru in v straži svetišča in v straži pri sinovih Aronovih, bratih svojih, v službi hiše GOSPODOVE.

³²And 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.

³²in naj strežejo v straži pri shodnem šatoru in v straži svetišča in v straži pri sinovih Aronovih, bratih svojih, v službi hiše GOSPODOVE.
