¹Kui Taavet oli vana ja elatanud, siis ta tõstis oma poja Saalomoni Iisraeli kuningaks.

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

²Ja ta kogus kokku kõik Iisraeli vürstid, preestrid ja leviidid.

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

³Ja leviidid loeti ära, kolmekümneaastased ja üle selle, ja nende arv oli vastavalt meeste peadele kolmkümmend kaheksa tuhat.

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

⁴'Neist olgu kakskümmend neli tuhat juhatamas töid Issanda kojas, ja kuus tuhat ülevaatajaiks ja kohtumõistjaiks.

⁴David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Yahweh; six thousand were officers and judges;

⁵Ja neli tuhat olgu väravahoidjaiks, ja neli tuhat kiitku Issandat mänguriistadega, mis ma kiituse tarvis olen teinud!'

⁵four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Yahweh with the instruments which I made, for giving praise.”

⁶Ja Taavet jaotas nad rühmadesse, vastavalt Leevi poegadele: Geerson, Kehat ja Merari.

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

⁷Geersonlastest olid Laedan ja Simei.

⁷Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.

⁸Laedani pojad olid peamees Jehiel, Seetam ja Joel kolmekesi.

⁸The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three.

⁹Simei pojad olid Selomit, Hasiel ja Haaran kolmekesi; need olid Laedani perekondade peamehed.

⁹The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.

¹⁰Ja Simei pojad olid Jahat, Siina, Jeus ja Berija; need neli olid Simei pojad.

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

¹¹Jahat oli peamees, Siisa oli teine; aga Jeusel ja Berijal ei olnud palju poegi, seepärast sai neist üks perekond, üks teenistustoimkond.

¹¹Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah didn’t have many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning.

¹²Kehati pojad olid Amram, Jishar, Hebron ja Ussiel neljakesi.

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

¹³Amrami pojad olid Aaron ja Mooses. Aga Aaron oli igavesti eraldatud pühitsema kõige pühamat paika, tema ja ta pojad, igavesti suitsutama Issanda ees, teda teenima ja tema nimel õnnistama.

¹³The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, forever, to burn incense before Yahweh, to minister to him, and to bless in his name, forever.

¹⁴Aga jumalamehe Moosese pojad arvati Leevi suguharu juurde.

¹⁴But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.

¹⁵Moosese pojad olid Geersom ja Elieser.

¹⁵The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.

¹⁶Geersomi poegi oli Sebuel, peamees.

¹⁶The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.

¹⁷Ja Elieseri poeg oli Rehabja, peamees; Elieseril ei olnud teisi poegi. Aga Rehabja poegi oli väga palju.

¹⁷The sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

¹⁸Jishari poegi oli Selomit, peamees.

¹⁸The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.

¹⁹Hebroni pojad olid: Jerija oli peamees, Amarja teine, Jahasiel kolmas ja Jekameam neljas.

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

²⁰Ussieli pojad olid: Miika oli peamees ja Jissija teine.

²⁰The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.

²¹Merari pojad olid Mahli ja Muusi; Mahli pojad olid Eleasar ja Kiis.

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

²²Kui Eleasar suri, siis ei jäänud tal maha poegi, vaid jäid tütred; ja Kiisi pojad, nende sugulased, võtsid need naiseks.

²²Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their brothers the sons of Kish took them as wives.

²³Muusi pojad olid Mahli, Eeder ja Jeremot kolmekesi.

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

²⁴Need olid Leevi pojad nende perekondade kaupa, perekondade peamehed, nõnda nagu neid loeti vastavalt nimede arvule pea-pealt, need, kes toimetasid Issanda koja teenistusülesandeid, kahekümneaastased ja üle selle.

²⁴These were the sons of Levi after their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the house of Yahweh, from twenty years old and upward.

²⁵Sest Taavet ütles: 'Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, on oma rahvale rahu andnud ja igaveseks Jeruusalemma elama asunud.

²⁵For David said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.

²⁶Seepärast ei tarvitse ka leviidid enam kanda elamut ega selle kõiksuguseid teenistusriistu,' -

²⁶Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”

²⁷sest Taaveti viimaste korralduste järgi olid Leevi poegade arvus kahekümneaastased ja üle selle -

²⁷For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward.

²⁸'vaid nende ülesandeks on abiks olla Aaroni poegadele Issanda koja teenistuses, hoolitseda õuede ja kambrite eest, puhastada kõike seda, mis on püha, ja igasugune Jumala koja teenistuse töö

²⁸For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Yahweh, in the courts, and in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God’s house;

²⁹ühenduses ohvrileibadega, roaohvri peene jahuga ja hapnemata õhukeste koogikestega, pannidega ja taignatega, igasuguste õõnes- ja pikkusmõõtudega,

²⁹for the show bread also, and for the fine flour for a meal offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all kinds of measure and size;

³⁰seista igal hommikul Issandat tänamas ja kiitmas, nõndasamuti ka õhtul,

³⁰and to stand every morning to thank and praise Yahweh, and likewise in the evening;

³¹ja ohverdada kõiki põletusohvreid Issandale hingamispäevil, noorkuu päevil ja pühadel, neile määratud arvul alaliselt Issanda ees olles.

³¹and to offer all burnt offerings to Yahweh, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Yahweh;

³²Nõnda tuleb neil täita kogudusetelgi ja pühamu kohustusi ja nende vendade, Aaroni poegade poolt antud kohustusi Issanda koja teenistuses.'

³²and that they should keep the duty of the Tent of Meeting, and the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the service of the house of Yahweh.
