Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
1Igitur David, senex et plenus dierum, regem constituit Salomonem filium suum super Israël.
2¶ And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
2Et congregavit omnes principes Israël, et sacerdotes atque Levitas.
3Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
3Numeratique sunt Levitæ a triginta annis et supra: et inventa sunt triginta octo millia virorum.
4Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD ; and six thousand were officers and judges:
4Ex his electi sunt, et distributi in ministerium domus Domini, viginti quatuor millia: præpositorum autem et judicum, sex millia.
5Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David , to praise therewith .
5Porro quatuor millia janitores, et totidem psaltæ, canentes Domino in organis quæ fecerat ad canendum.
6And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely , Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
6Et distribuit eos David per vices filiorum Levi, Gerson videlicet, et Caath, et Merari.
7¶ Of the Gershonites were , Laadan, and Shimei.
7Filii Gerson: Leedan, et Semei.
8The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
8Filii Leedan: princeps Jahiel, et Zethan, et Joël, tres.
9The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
9Filii Semei: Salomith, et Hosiel, et Aran, tres: isti principes familiarum Leedan.
10And the sons of Shimei were , Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
10Porro filii Semei: Leheth, et Ziza, et Jaus, et Baria: isti filii Semei, quatuor.
11And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father’s house.
11Erat autem Leheth prior, Ziza secundus: porro Jaus et Baria non habuerunt plurimos filios, et idcirco in una familia, unaque domo computati sunt.
12¶ The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
12Filii Caath: Amram, et Isaar, Hebron, et Oziel, quatuor.
13The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD , to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.
13Filii Amram: Aaron et Moyses. Separatusque est Aaron ut ministraret in Sancto sanctorum, ipse et filii ejus in sempiternum, et adoleret incensum Domino secundum ritum suum, ac benediceret nomini ejus in perpetuum.
14Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
14Moysi quoque hominis Dei filii annumerati sunt in tribu Levi.
15The sons of Moses were , Gershom, and Eliezer.
15Filii Moysi: Gersom et Eliezer.
16Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
16Filii Gersom: Subuel primus.
17And the sons of Eliezer were , Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
17Fuerunt autem filii Eliezer: Rohobia primus: et non erant Eliezer filii alii. Porro filii Rohobia multiplicati sunt nimis.
18Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
18Filii Isaar: Salomith primus.
19Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
19Filii Hebron: Jeriau primus, Amarias secundus, Jahaziel tertius, Jecmaam quartus.
20Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah the first, and Jesiah the second.
20Filii Oziel: Micha primus, Jesia secundus.
21¶ The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.
21Filii Merari: Moholi, et Musi. Filii Moholi: Eleazar et Cis.
22And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
22Mortuus est autem Eleazar, et non habuit filios, sed filias: acceperuntque eas filii Cis fratres earum.
23The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
23Filii Musi: Moholi, et Eder, et Jerimoth, tres.
24¶ These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD , from the age of twenty years and upward.
24Hi filii Levi in cognationibus et familiis suis, principes per vices, et numerum capitum singulorum qui faciebant opera ministerii domus Domini, a viginti annis et supra.
25For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
25Dixit enim David: Requiem dedit Dominus Deus Israël populo suo, et habitationem Jerusalem usque in æternum.
26And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
26Nec erit officii Levitarum ut ultra portent tabernaculum et omnia vasa ejus ad ministrandum.
27For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:
27Juxta præcepta quoque David novissima, supputabitur numerus filiorum Levi a viginti annis et supra.
28Because their office was to wait on 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, and the work of the service of the house of God;
28Et erunt sub manu filiorum Aaron in cultum domus Domini, in vestibulis, et in exedris, et in loco purificationis, et in sanctuario, et in universis operibus ministerii templi Domini.
29Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;
29Sacerdotes autem, super panes propositionis, et ad similæ sacrificium, et ad lagana azyma, et sartaginem, et ad torrendum, et super omne pondus atque mensuram.
30And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD , and likewise at even;
30Levitæ vero ut stent mane ad confitendum et canendum Domino: similiterque ad vesperam,
31And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD :
31tam in oblatione holocaustorum Domini, quam in sabbatis et calendis et solemnitatibus reliquis juxta numerum et cæremonias uniuscujusque rei, jugiter coram Domino.
32And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place , and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD .
32Et custodiant observationes tabernaculi fœderis, et ritum sanctuarii, et observationem filiorum Aaron fratrum suorum, ut ministrent in domo Domini.
