Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1When David was old and full of years, he installed his son Solomon as king over Israel.
1ΚΑΙ Δαυὶδ πρεσβύτης καὶ πλήρης ἡμερῶν καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Σαλωμὼν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ.
2Then he gathered all the leaders of Israel, as well as the priests and Levites.
2καὶ συνήγαγε τοὺς πάντας ἄρχοντας Ἰσραὴλ καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ τοὺς Λευίτας.
3The Levites thirty years of age or older were counted, and the total number of men was 38,000.
3καὶ ἠρίθμησαν οἱ Λευῖται ἀπὸ τριακονταετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω, καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν κατὰ κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν εἰς ἄνδρας τριάκοντα καὶ ὀκτὼ χιλιάδας.
4“Of these,” said David, “24,000 are to oversee the work of the house of the LORD, 6,000 are to be officers and judges,
4ἀπὸ τῶν ἐργοδιωκτῶν ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα οἴκου Κυρίου εἰκοσιτέσσαρες χιλιάδες καὶ γραμματεῖς καὶ κριταὶ ἑξακισχίλιοι
54,000 are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000 are to praise the LORD with the instruments I have made for giving praise.”
5καὶ τέσσαρες χιλιάδες πυλωροὶ καὶ τέσσαρες χιλιάδες αἰνοῦντες τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν ὀργάνοις, οἷς ἐποίησε τοῦ αἰνεῖν τῷ Κυρίῳ.
6Then David divided the Levites into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.
6καὶ διεῖλεν αὐτοὺς Δαυὶδ ἐφημερίας τοῖς υἱοῖς Λευί, τῷ Γεδσών, Καὰθ καὶ Μεραρί.
7The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
7καὶ τῷ Γεδσών· Ἐδὰν καὶ Σεμεΐ.
8The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all.
8υἱοὶ τῷ Ἐδάν· ἄρχων Ἰεϊὴλ καὶ Ζηθὰν καὶ Ἰωήλ, τρεῖς.
9The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan.
9υἱοὶ Σεμεΐ· Σαλωμίθ, Ἰεϊὴλ καὶ Δάν, τρεῖς. οὗτοι ἄρχοντες πατριῶν τῶν Ἐδάν.
10And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.
10καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Σεμεΐ· Ἰὲθ καὶ Ζιζὰ καὶ Ἰωὰς καὶ Βεριά· οὗτοι υἱοὶ Σεμεΐ τέσσαρες.
11Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were counted as one family and received a single assignment.
11καὶ ἦν Ἰὲθ ὁ ἄρχων καὶ Ζιζὰ ὁ δεύτερος· καὶ Ἰωὰς καὶ Βεριὰ οὐκ ἐπλήθυναν υἱοὺς καὶ ἐγένοντο εἰς οἶκον πατριᾶς εἰς ἐπίσκεψιν μίαν.
12The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all.
12υἱοὶ Καάθ· Ἀμβράμ, Ἰσαάρ, Χεβρών, Ὀζιήλ, τέσσαρες.
13The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were set apart forever to consecrate the most holy things, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister before Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name forever.
13υἱοὶ Ἀμβράμ, Ἀαρὼν καὶ Μωυσῆς. καὶ διεστάλη Ἀαρὼν τοῦ ἁγιασθῆναι ἅγια ἁγίων, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος, τοῦ θυμιᾶν ἐναντίον τοῦ Κυρίου, λειτουργεῖν καὶ ἐπεύχεσθαι ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος.
14As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
14καὶ Μωυσῆς ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ, υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐκλήθησαν εἰς φυλὴν τοῦ Λευί.
15The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
15υἱοὶ Μωυσῆ· Γηρσὰμ καὶ Ἐλιέζερ.
16The descendants of Gershom: Shebuel was the first.
16υἱοὶ Γηρσάμ· Σουβαὴλ ὁ ἄρχων.
17The descendants of Eliezer: Rehabiah was the first. Eliezer did not have any other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous.
17καὶ ἦσαν υἱοὶ τῷ Ἐλιέζερ· Ραβιὰ ὁ ἄρχων· καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν τῷ Ἐλιέζερ υἱοὶ ἕτεροι. καὶ υἱοὶ Ραβιὰ ηὐξήθησαν εἰς ὕψος.
18The sons of Izhar: Shelomith was the first.
18υἱοὶ Ἰσαάρ· Σαλωμὼθ ὁ ἄρχων.
19The sons of Hebron: Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
19υἱοὶ Χεβρών· Ἱεριὰ ὁ ἄρχων, Ἀμαδιὰ ὁ δεύτερος, Ἱεζιὴλ ὁ τρίτος, Ἰεκεμίας ὁ τέταρτος.
20The sons of Uzziel: Micah was the first and Isshiah the second.
20υἱοὶ Ὀζιήλ· Μιχὰ ὁ ἄρχων καὶ Ἰσιὰ ὁ δεύτερος.
21The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
21υἱοὶ Μεραρί· Μοολὶ καὶ Μουσί. υἱοὶ Μοολί· Ἐλεάζαρ καὶ Κίς.
22Eleazar died without having any sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
22καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἐλεάζαρ, καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν αὐτῷ υἱοί, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ θυγατέρες, καὶ ἔλαβον αὐτὰς υἱοὶ Κὶς ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν.
23The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth —three in all.
23υἱοὶ Μουσί· Μοολὶ καὶ Ἐδὲρ καὶ Ἰαριμώθ, τρεῖς.
24These were the descendants of Levi by their families—the heads of families, registered individually by name—those twenty years of age or older who worked in the service of the house of the LORD.
24οὗτοι υἱοὶ Λευὶ κατ᾿ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν, ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν αὐτῶν κατὰ τὴν ἐπίσκεψιν αὐτῶν, κατὰ τὸν ἀριθμὸν ὀνομάτων αὐτῶν, κατὰ κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν, ποιοῦντες τὰ ἔργα λειτουργίας οἴκου Κυρίου ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω.
25For David had said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, has given rest to His people and has come to dwell in Jerusalem forever.
25ὅτι εἶπε Δαυίδ· κατέπαυσε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ καὶ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἕως αἰῶνος.
26So now the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles for its service.”
26καὶ οἱ Λευῖται οὐκ ἦσαν αἴροντες τὴν σκηνὴν καὶ τὰ πάντα σκεύη αὐτῆς εἰς τὴν λειτουργίαν αὐτῆς·
27For according to the final instructions of David, the Levites twenty years of age or older were counted,
27ὅτι ἐν τοῖς λόγοις Δαυὶδ τοῖς ἐσχάτοις ἐστὶν ὁ ἀριθμὸς υἱῶν Λευὶ ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω·
28but their duty was to assist the descendants of Aaron with the service of the house of the LORD, being responsible for the courts and chambers, the purification of all the holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God,
28ὅτι ἔστησεν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ χειρὶ Ἀαρὼν τοῦ λειτουργεῖν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου ἐπὶ τὰς αὐλὰς καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ παστοφόρια καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν καθαρισμὸν τῶν πάντων ἁγίων καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα λειτουργίας οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ
29as well as for the rows of the showbread, the fine flour for the grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the baking, the mixing, and all measurements of quantity and size.
29καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἄρτους τῆς προθέσεως καὶ εἰς τὴν σεμίδαλιν τῆς θυσίας καὶ εἰς τὰ λάγανα τὰ ἄζυμα καὶ εἰς τήγανον καὶ εἰς τὴν πεφυραμένην καὶ εἰς πᾶν μέτρον
30They were also to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the LORD, and likewise in the evening.
30καὶ τοῦ στῆναι πρωΐ τοῦ αἰνεῖν καὶ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ οὕτω τὸ ἑσπέρας
31Whenever burnt offerings were presented to the LORD on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts, they were to serve regularly before the LORD in the numbers prescribed for them.
31καὶ ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν ἀναφερομένων ὁλοκαυτωμάτων τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν τοῖς σαββάτοις καὶ ἐν ταῖς νουμηνίαις καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς, κατὰ ἀριθμόν, κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς διαπαντὸς τῷ Κυρίῳ.
32So the Levites were to carry out the responsibilities for the Tent of Meeting and the Holy Place, and, under their brothers the descendants of Aaron, the service of the house of the LORD.
32καὶ φυλάξουσι τὰς φυλακὰς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ τὴν φυλακὴν τοῦ ἁγίου καὶ τὰς φυλακὰς υἱῶν Ἀαρὼν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν τοῦ λειτουργεῖν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.
