1Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
1لما شاخ داود وشبع اياما ملّك سليمان ابنه على اسرائيل.
2He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
2وجمع كل رؤساء اسرائيل والكهنة واللاويين.
3The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
3فعدّ اللاويون من ابن ثلاثين سنة فما فوق فكان عددهم حسب رؤوسهم من الرجال ثمانية وثلاثين الفا.
4David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Yahweh; six thousand were officers and judges;
4من هؤلاء للمناظرة على عمل بيت الرب اربعة وعشرون الفا. وستة آلاف عرفاء وقضاة.
5four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Yahweh with the instruments which I made, for giving praise.”
5واربعة آلاف بوابون واربعة آلاف مسبحون للرب بالآلات التي عملت للتسبيح.
6David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
6وقسمهم داود فرقا لبني لاوي لجرشون وقهات ومراري.
7Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
7من الجرشونيين لعدان وشمعي.
8The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
8بنو لعدان الراس يحيئيل ثم زيثام ويوئيل ثلاثة.
9The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.
9بنو شمعي شلوميث وحزيئيل وهاران ثلاثة. هؤلاء رؤوس آباء للعدان.
10The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
10وبنو شمعي يحث وزينا ويعوش وبريعة. هؤلاء بنو شمعي اربعة
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.
11وكان يحث الراس وزيزة الثاني. اما يعوش وبريعة فلم يكثرا الاولاد فكانوا في الاحصاء لبيت اب واحد
12The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
12بنو قهات عمرام ويصهار وحبرون وعزيئيل اربعة.
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.
13ابنا عمرام هرون وموسى. وأفرز هرون لتقديسه قدس اقداس هو وبنوه الى الابد ليوقد امام الرب ويخدمه ويبارك باسمه الى الابد.
14But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
14واما موسى رجل الله فدعي بنوه مع سبط لاوي.
15The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
15ابنا موسى جرشوم واليعزر.
16The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.
16بنو جرشوم شبوئيل الراس.
17The sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
17وكان ابن اليعزر رحبيا الراس ولم يكن لاليعزر بنون آخرون. واما بنو رحبيا فكانوا كثيرين جدا.
18The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.
18بنو يصهار شلوميث الراس.
19The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
19بنو حبرون يريا الراس وامريا الثاني ويحزيئيل الثالث ويقمعام الرابع.
20The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
20ابنا عزيئيل ميخا الراس ويشّيّا الثاني.
21The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
21ابنا مراري محلي وموشى. ابنا محلي العازار وقيس.
22Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their brothers the sons of Kish took them as wives.
22ومات العازار ولم يكن له بنون بل بنات فأخذهنّ بنو قيس اخوتهنّ
23The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
23بنو موشي محلي وعادر ويريموث ثلاثة
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.
24هؤلاء بنو لاوي حسب بيوت آبائهم رؤوس الآباء حسب احصائهم في عدد الاسماء حسب رؤوسهم عاملو العمل لخدمة بيت الرب من ابن عشرين سنة فما فوق.
25For David said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
25لان داود قال قد اراح الرب اله اسرائيل شعبه فسكن في اورشليم الى الابد.
26Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”
26وليس للاويين بعد ان يحملوا المسكن وكل آنيته لخدمته.
27For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward.
27لانه حسب كلام داود الاخير عدّ بنو لاوي من ابن عشرين سنة فما فوق.
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;
28لانهم كانوا يقفون بين يدي بني هرون على خدمة بيت الرب في الدور والمخادع وعلى تطهير كل قدس وعمل خدمة بيت الله
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;
29وعلى خبز الوجوه ودقيق التقدمة ورقاق الفطير وما يعمل على الصاج والمربوكات وعلى كل كيل وقياس
30and to stand every morning to thank and praise Yahweh, and likewise in the evening;
30ولاجل الوقوف كل صباح لحمد الرب وتسبيحه وكذلك في المساء.
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;
31ولكل اصعاد محرقات للرب في السبوت والاهلّة والمواسم بالعدد حسب المرسوم عليهم دائما امام الرب
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.
32وليحرسوا حراسة خيمة الاجتماع وحراسة القدس وحراسة بني هرون اخوتهم في خدمة بيت الرب
