1 Chronicles 23
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
1Καὶ Δαυὶδ πρεσβύτης καὶ πλήρης ἡμερῶν, καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Σαλωμὼν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἀνθʼ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ.
2And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
2καὶ συνήγαγε τοὺς πάντας ἄρχοντας Ἰσραὴλ καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ τοὺς Λευείτας.
3And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
3Καὶ ἠρίθμησαν οἱ Λευῖται ἀπὸ τριακονταετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω, καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν κατὰ κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν εἰς ἄνδρας τριάκοντα καὶ ὀκτὼ χιλιάδας.
4Of these, twenty and four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges;
4Ἀπὸ τῶν ἐργοδιωκτῶν ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα οἴκου Κυρίου εἴκοσι τέσσαρες χιλιάδες, καὶ γραμματεῖς καὶ κριταὶ ἑξακισχίλιοι,
5and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised the LORD 'with the instruments which I made to praise therewith.'
5καὶ τέσσαρες χιλιάδες πυλωροὶ καὶ τώσσαρες χιλιάδες αἰνοῦντες τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν ὀργάνοιν οἷς ἐποίησε τοῦ αἰνεῖν τῷ κυρίῳ.
6And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
6καὶ διεῖλεν αὐτοὺς Δαυὶδ ἐφημερίας τοῖς υἱοῖς Λευῖ, τῷ Γεδσών, Καάθ, καὶ Μαραρί·
7Of the Gershonites: Ladan, and Shimei.
7καὶ τῷ Γεδσὼν, Ἐδὰν, καὶ Σεμεΐ.
8The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
8γἱοὶ τῷ Ἐδάν, ἄρχων Ἰεϊὴλ, καὶ Ζηθὸμ, καὶ Ἰωήλ, καὶ τρεῖς.
9The sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers' houses of Ladan.
9γἱοὶ Σεμεῒ, Σαλωμὶθ, Ἰεϊὴλ, καὶ Δὰν, τρεῖς· οὗτοι ἄρχοντες πατριῶν τῶν Ἐδάν·
10And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
10καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Σεμεΐ· Ἰὲθ, καὶ Ζιζὰ, καὶ Ἰῶας, καὶ Βεριά· οὗτοι υἱοὶ Σεμεΐ, τέσσαρες.
11And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they became a fathers' house in one reckoning.
11καὶ ἦν Ἰὲθ ὁ ἄρχων· καὶ Ζιζὰ ὁ δεύτερος· καὶ Ἰωὰς καὶ Βεριὰ οὐκ ἐπλήθυναν υἱοὺς, καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς οἶκον πατριᾶς εἰς ἐπίσκεψιν μίαν.
12The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
12γἱοὶ Καάθ, Ἀμβρὰμ, Ἰσαάρ, Χεβρών, Ὀζιὴλ, τέσσαρες.
13The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should be sanctified as most holy, he and his sons for ever, to offer before the LORD, to minister unto Him, and to bless in His name for ever.
13γἱοὶ Ἀμβρὰμ, Ἀαρὼν καὶ Μωυσῆς· καὶ διεστάλη Ἀαρὼν τοῦ ἁγιασθῆναι ἅγια ἁγίων, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος, τοῦ θυμιᾷν ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου, λειτουργεῖν καὶ ἐπεύχεσθαι ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος.
14But as for Moses the man of God, his sons are named among the tribe of Levi.
14Καὶ Μωυσῆς ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ, υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐκλήθησαν εἰς φυλὴν τοῦ Λευεί.
15The sons of Moses: Gershom, and Eliezer.
15γἱοὶ Μωυσῆ, Γηρσὰμ, καὶ Ἐλιέζερ.
16The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.
16γἱοὶ Γηρσὰμ, Σουβαὴλ ὁ ἄρχων.
17And the sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
17Καὶ ἦσαν υἱοὶ τῷ Ἐλιέζερ, Ῥαβιὰ ὁ ἄρχων· καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν τῷ Ἐλιέζερ υἱοὶ ἕτεροι· καὶ υἱοὶ Ῥαβιὰ ηὐξήθησαν εἰς ὕψος.
18The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.
18γἱοὶ Ἰσαάρ, Σαλωμὼθ ὁ ἄρχων.
19The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
19γἱοὶ Χεβρὼν, Ἰεριὰ ὁ ἄρχων, Ἀμαριὰ ὁ δεύτερος, Ἱεζιὴλ ὁ τρίτος, Ἰκεμίας ὁ τέταρτος.
20The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
20γἱοὶ Ὀζιὴλ, Μιχὰ ὁ ἄρχων, καὶ Ἰσιὰ ὁ δεύτερος.
21The sons of Merari: Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar, and Kish.
21γἱοὶ Μεραρί, Μοολὶ καὶ Ὁ Μουσί· υἱοὶ Μοολὶ, Ἐλεαζαρ, καὶ Κείς. καὶ Κίς.
22And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only; and their brethren the sons of Kish took them to wife.
22Καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἐλεάζαρ· καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν αὐτῷ υἱοὶ, ἀλλʼ ἢ θυγατέρες· καὶ ἔλαβον αὐτὰς υἱοὶ Κὶς ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν.
23The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
23Υἱοὶ Μουσὶ, Μοολὶ, καὶ Ἐδὲρ, καὶ Ἰαριμὼθ, τρεῖς.
24These were the sons of Levi after their fathers' houses, even the heads of the fathers' houses, according to their muster, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from twenty years old and upward.
24Οὗτοι υἱοὶ Λευὶ κατʼ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν, ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν αὐτῶν κατὰ τὴν ἐπίσκεψιν αὐτῶν, κατὰ τὸν ἀριθμὸν ὀνομάτων αὐτῶν, κατὰ κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν, ποιοῦντες τὰ ἔργα λειτουργείας οἴκου Κυρίου ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω.
25For David said: 'The LORD, the God of Israel, hath given rest unto His people, and He dwelleth in Jerusalem for ever;
25Ὅτι εἶπε Δαυὶδ, κατέπαυσε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἕως αἰῶνος.
26and also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the tabernacle and all the vessels of it for the service thereof.'
26Καὶ οἱ Λευῖται οὐκ ἦσαν αἴροντες τὴν σκηνὴν καὶ τὰ πάντα σκεύη αὐτῆς εἰς τὴν λειτουργείαν αὐτῆς·
27For by the last ordinances of David the sons of Levi were numbered from twenty years old and upward.
27Ὅτι ἐν τοῖς λόγοις Δαυὶδ τοῖς ἐσχάτοις ἐστὶν ὁ ἀριθμὸς υἱῶν Λευὶ ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω·
28For their station was at the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, even 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 λειτουργείας οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ,
29for the showbread also, and for the fine flour for a meal-offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked on the griddle, or of that which is soaked, and for all manner of measure 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,
30and to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even;
30καὶ τοῦ στῆναι πρωῒ τοῦ αἰνεῖν καὶ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ οὕτω τοεσπέρας·
31and to offer all burnt-offerings unto the LORD, on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and in the appointed seasons, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually, before the LORD;
31Καὶ ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν ἀναφερομένων ὁλοκαυτωμάτων τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν τοῖς σαββάτοις καὶ ἐν ταῖς νεομηνίαις καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς, κατὰ ἀριθμὸν, κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς διαπαντὸς τῷ Κυρίῳ.
32and that they should keep the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, for 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.
