1Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
1Ac tîx chic laj David. Joßcan nak quixxakab laj Salomón li ralal chokß xreyeb laj Israel chok rêkaj.
2He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
2Li rey David quixtakla xchßutubanquileb chixjunileb li nequeßcßamoc be saß xyânkeb laj Israel. Quixchßutubeb ajcuiß laj tij ut chixjunileb laj levita.
3The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
3Quixtakla rajlanquileb chixjunileb li ralal xcßajol laj Leví li cuanqueb lajêb xcaßcßâl chihab reheb, joß ajcuiß li numenakeb lajêb xcaßcßâl chihab. Nak queßajlâc cuanqueb cuakxaklaju xcaßcßâl mil chi cuînk.
4David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Yahweh; six thousand were officers and judges;
4Li rey David quixye nak li câhib xcaßcßâl mil teßcßanjelak re xyîbanquil li templo ut li cuakib mil teßcßanjelak chi taklânc ut chi rakoc âtin.
5four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Yahweh with the instruments which I made, for giving praise.”
5Ut câhib mil teßcßacßalênk saß eb li oquebâl. Ut eb li câhib mil chic teßxlokßoni li Kâcuaß riqßuin xchßeßbal li cuajb li quixqßue chi yîbâc laj David.
6David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
6Ut laj David quixjachi ruheb ut quixqßueheb chi chßûtal eb li ralal xcßajol laj Leví, aß yal jarub li ralal laj Leví. Li oxib chi ralal, aßaneb laj Gersón, laj Coat ut laj Merari.
7Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
7Eb li ralal laj Gersón, aßaneb laj Laadán ut laj Simei.
8The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
8Oxibeb li ralal laj Laadán. Li xbên, aßan laj Jehiel; li xcab, aßan laj Zetam; ut li rox, aßan laj Joel.
9The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.
9Oxibeb li ralal laj Simei. Aßaneb laj Selomit, laj Haziel, ut laj Harán. Aßaneb li queßtaklan saß xbêneb li ralal xcßajol laj Laadán.
10The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
10Câhibeb li ralal laj Simei. Aßaneb laj Jahat, laj Zina, laj Jeús, ut laj Bería. Aßaneb aßin li câhib chi ralal laj Simei.
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.
11Laj Jahat, aßan li asbej. Laj Zina, aßan li xcab. Abanan laj Jeús ut laj Bería incßaß queßcuan nabal ralal xcßajoleb. Joßcan nak queßajlâc chi jun cabal ajcuiß.
12The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
12Ut eb li ralal laj Coat câhibeb. Aßaneb laj Amram, laj Izhar, laj Hebrón ut laj Uziel.
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.
13Eb li ralal laj Amram, aßan laj Aarón ut laj Moisés. Laj Aarón, joß eb ajcuiß li ralal xcßajol, aßaneb li queßsiqßueß ruheb chi cßanjelac chi junelic chiru li Dios chokß aj tij re xbânunquil li santil cßanjel li kßaxal lokß. Queßxakabâc chixcßatbal li incienso ut chi cßanjelac chiru li Kâcuaß ut chixtzßâmanquil chiru li Kâcuaß nak târosobtesiheb li tenamit.
14But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
14Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Moisés, laj cßanjel chiru li Dios, ajlanbileb saß xyânkeb li ralal xcßajol laj Leví.
15The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
15Eb li ralal laj Moisés, aßaneb laj Gersón ut laj Eliezer.
16The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.
16Li xbên ralal laj Gersón, aßan laj Sebuel li nacßamoc be.
17The sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
17Ut li ralal laj Eliezer, aßan laj Rehabías li nacßamoc be. Laj Eliezer incßaß chic quicuan ralal xcßajol. Abanan laj Rehabías, aßan nabal li ralal xcßajol queßcuan.
18The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.
18Li xbên ralal laj Izhar, aßan laj Selomit, li nacßamoc be.
19The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
19Aßaneb aßin li ralal laj Hebrón: li xbên, aßan laj Jerías; li xcab, aßan laj Amarías; li rox, aßan laj Jahaziel; ut li xcâ, aßan laj Jecamán.
20The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
20Cuibeb li ralal laj Uziel. Li xbên, aßan laj Micaía li nacßamoc be. Ut li xcab, aßan laj Isías.
21The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
21Eb li ralal laj Merari, aßaneb laj Mahli ut laj Musi. Ut li ralal laj Mahli, aßaneb laj Eleazar ut laj Cis.
22Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their brothers the sons of Kish took them as wives.
22Laj Eleazar quicam. Ut mâ jun li ralal quicuan. Caßaj cuiß xrabin queßcuan. Ut eb li ralal laj Cis quixcßameb chokß rixakileb. Aßaneb rechßalaleb rib.
23The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
23Oxibeb li ralal laj Musi. Aßaneb laj Mahli, laj Edar ut laj Jeremot.
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.
24Aßaneb aßin li ralal xcßajol laj Leví aß yal chanru xqßuialeb li ralal xcßajol. Queßtzßîbâc xcßabaßeb nak queßajlâc. Aßaneb li queßcßamoc be. Eb aßan cuanqueb junmay chihab re joß ajcuiß li ac numenakeb junmay chihab. Chixjunileb aßin queßcßanjelac saß lix templo li Kâcuaß.
25For David said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
25Laj David quixye: —Li Kâcuaß li kaDios lâo aj Israel xoxqßue chi cuânc saß tuktûquil usilal. Ut aßan tâcuânk arin Jerusalén chi junelic, chan.
26Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”
26Chi joßcan eb laj levita incßaß chic tento nak teßxcßam yalak bar lix tabernáculo li Kâcuaß, chi moco li cßaßru nacßanjelac saß li tabernáculo, chan laj David.
27For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward.
27Ut qui-uxman joß quixye laj David nak quixrak lix cßanjel. Queßajlâc chixjunileb li ralal xcßajol laj Leví li cuanqueb junmay chihab re joß eb ajcuiß li ac numenakeb junmay.
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;
28Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Leví queßcanabâc saß xcuênteb li ralal xcßajol laj Aarón chi cßanjelac saß lix templo li Kâcuaß.

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;

30and to stand every morning to thank and praise Yahweh, and likewise in the evening;
30Rajlal ekßela ut rajlal ecuu teßlokßonînk ut teßbantioxînk chiru li Kâcuaß.
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;

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.
32Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Leví, aßan eb li queßiloc re lix templo li Dios joß ajcuiß li Santil Naßajej. Nak yôqueb chi cßanjelac saß li templo, cuanqueb rubel xcuanquil li ralal xcßajol laj Aarón, li rechßalaleb.
