¹Ostarjevši i nauživši se dana, postavi David svoga sina Salomona kraljem nad Izraelom.

¹And David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

²Potom skupi sve izraelske knezove, svećenike i levite.

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

³On izbroji levite od trideset godina naviše, i bilo ih je po muškim glavama trideset i osam tisuća.

³And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward; and their number, by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.

⁴Između njih bilo je dvadeset i četiri tisuće onih koji su upravljali poslom oko Jahvina Doma, a šest tisuća nadzornika i sudaca,

⁴Of these, twenty-four thousand were to preside over the work of the house of Jehovah; and six thousand were officers and judges;

⁵četiri tisuće vratara i četiri tisuće onih koji su hvalili Jahvu uz glazbala što ih je napravio za hvalu.

⁵and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made, [said David,] to praise [therewith].

⁶David ih razdijeli na redove po Levijevim sinovima: Geršonu, Kehatu i Merariju.

⁶And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

⁷Od Geršonova su koljena bili: Ladan i Šimej.

⁷Of the Gershonites: Laadan and Shimei.

⁸Ladanovi sinovi: poglavari Jehiel, Zetam i Joel, njih trojica.

⁸The sons of Laadan: the head was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.

⁹Šimejevi sinovi: Šelomit, Haziel i Haram, njih trojica; to su poglavari Ladanovih obitelji.

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

¹⁰Šimejevi sinovi: Jahat, Zina, Jeuš i Berija. Ta su četvorica Šimejevi sinovi.

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

¹¹Jahat je bio poglavar, a drugi Ziza; a Jeuš i Berija nisu imali mnogo djece, zato su se brojili u jednu obitelj, u jedan razred.

¹¹And Jahath was the head, and Ziza the second; and Jeush and Beriah had not many sons: as father's house, therefore, they were reckoned as one.

¹²Kehatovi sinovi: Amram, Jishar, Hebron i Uziel, četvorica.

¹²The sons of Kohath: Amram, Jizhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

¹³Amramovi 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.

¹³The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was separated, that he should be hallowed as most holy, he and his sons for ever, to offer before Jehovah, to do service to him, and to bless in his name for ever.

¹⁴Mojsije je bio Božji čovjek. Njegovi se sinovi broje u Levijevo pleme.

¹⁴-- And as to Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.

¹⁵Mojsijevi su sinovi Geršom i Eliezer.

¹⁵The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.

¹⁶Geršomovi sinovi: poglavar Šebuel.

¹⁶The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the head.

¹⁷Eliezerovi su sinovi bili: poglavar Rehabja. Eliezer nije imao drugih sinova, nego su se Rehabjini sinovi vrlo namnožili.

¹⁷And the sons of Eliezer: Rehabiah the head; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

¹⁸Jisharovi sinovi: poglavar Šelomit.

¹⁸-- The sons of Jizhar: Shelomith the head.

¹⁹Hebronovi sinovi: poglavar Jerija, drugi Amarja, treći Jahaziel, četvrti Jekamam.

¹⁹The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the head, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

²⁰Uzielovi sinovi: poglavar Mika, drugi Ješija.

²⁰The sons of Uzziel: Micah the head, and Jishijah the second.

²¹Merarijevi sinovi: Mahli i Muši. Mahlijevi sinovi: Eleazar i Kiš.

²¹The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.

²²Eleazar je umro nemajući sinova, nego samo kćeri, koje su sebi uzeli za žene njihovi rođaci, Kiševi sinovi.

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

²³Mušijevi sinovi: Mahli, Eder i Jerimot, trojica.

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

²⁴To 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.

²⁴These were the sons of Levi according to their fathers' houses, the chief fathers, as they were reckoned, by number of names by their polls, who did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, from twenty years old and upward.

²⁵David je rekao: "Jahve, Izraelov Bog, dao je mir svojem narodu i živjet će u Jeruzalemu zauvijek.

²⁵For David said, Jehovah the God of Israel has given rest to his people, and he will dwell in Jerusalem for ever;

²⁶Zato ni leviti neće više nositi Prebivališta ni svakovrsnog pribora za njegovu službu."

²⁶and the Levites also have no more to carry the tabernacle, nor any of its vessels for its service.

²⁷Po posljednjim Davidovim riječima, bili su izbrojeni Levijevi sinovi od dvadeset godina naviše.

²⁷For by the last words of David was this [done], -- the numbering of the sons of Levi from twenty years old and upward.

²⁸Bili 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,

²⁸For their place was by the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Jehovah, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purifying of all holy things, and [for] the work of the service of the house of God;

²⁹oko prinesenih hljebova, oko sitnog brašna za prinos, oko beskvasnih kolača pripravljenih na tavi i u ulju zamiješenih i oko mjera za sadržaj i dužinu;

²⁹and for the loaves to be set in rows, and for the fine flour for the oblation, and for the unleavened cakes, and for [what is baked in] the pan, and for that which is saturated [with oil], and for all measure of capacity and size;

³⁰da pristupaju svakoga jutra, da slave i hvale Jahvu; tako i večerom.

³⁰and to stand every morning to thank and praise Jehovah, and likewise at even;

³¹A kad se god prinose paljenice Jahvi, subotom, za mlađaka i na blagdane, da dolaze prema svom broju, po svom redu, svagdje pred Jahvu.

³¹and for all burnt-offerings offered up to Jehovah on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the ordinance concerning them, continually, before Jehovah;

³²I da vrše što treba vršiti u Šatoru sastanka, službu u Svetištu i službu za svoju braću, Aronove sinove, u službi oko Jahvina Doma.

³²and they kept the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of Jehovah.
