World English Bible
1Igitur David, senex et plenus dierum, regem constituit Salomonem filium suum super Israël.
1Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2Et congregavit omnes principes Israël, et sacerdotes atque Levitas.
2He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3Numeratique sunt Levitæ a triginta annis et supra: et inventa sunt triginta octo millia virorum.
3The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
4Ex his electi sunt, et distributi in ministerium domus Domini, viginti quatuor millia: præpositorum autem et judicum, sex millia.
4David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the LORD’s house, six thousand were officers and judges,
5Porro quatuor millia janitores, et totidem psaltæ, canentes Domino in organis quæ fecerat ad canendum.
5four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made for giving praise.”
6Et distribuit eos David per vices filiorum Levi, Gerson videlicet, et Caath, et Merari.
6David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7Filii Gerson: Leedan, et Semei.
7Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
8Filii Leedan: princeps Jahiel, et Zethan, et Joël, tres.
8The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, Zetham, and Joel, three.
9Filii Semei: Salomith, et Hosiel, et Aran, tres: isti principes familiarum Leedan.
9The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.
10Porro filii Semei: Leheth, et Ziza, et Jaus, et Baria: isti filii Semei, quatuor.
10The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
11Erat autem Leheth prior, Ziza secundus: porro Jaus et Baria non habuerunt plurimos filios, et idcirco in una familia, unaque domo computati sunt.
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.
12Filii Caath: Amram, et Isaar, Hebron, et Oziel, quatuor.
12The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
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.
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 the LORD, to minister to him, and to bless in his name forever.
14Moysi quoque hominis Dei filii annumerati sunt in tribu Levi.
14But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
15Filii Moysi: Gersom et Eliezer.
15The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
16Filii Gersom: Subuel primus.
16The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.
17Fuerunt autem filii Eliezer: Rohobia primus: et non erant Eliezer filii alii. Porro filii Rohobia multiplicati sunt nimis.
17The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18Filii Isaar: Salomith primus.
18The son of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.
19Filii Hebron: Jeriau primus, Amarias secundus, Jahaziel tertius, Jecmaam quartus.
19The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20Filii Oziel: Micha primus, Jesia secundus.
20The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
21Filii Merari: Moholi, et Musi. Filii Moholi: Eleazar et Cis.
21The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
22Mortuus est autem Eleazar, et non habuit filios, sed filias: acceperuntque eas filii Cis fratres earum.
22Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only; and their relatives, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.
23Filii Musi: Moholi, et Eder, et Jerimoth, tres.
23The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
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.
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 LORD’s house, from twenty years old and upward.
25Dixit enim David: Requiem dedit Dominus Deus Israël populo suo, et habitationem Jerusalem usque in æternum.
25For David said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
26Nec erit officii Levitarum ut ultra portent tabernaculum et omnia vasa ejus ad ministrandum.
26Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”
27Juxta præcepta quoque David novissima, supputabitur numerus filiorum Levi a viginti annis et supra.
27For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were counted, from twenty years old and upward.
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.
28For their duty was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the LORD’s house—in the courts, in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God’s house;
29Sacerdotes autem, super panes propositionis, et ad similæ sacrificium, et ad lagana azyma, et sartaginem, et ad torrendum, et super omne pondus atque mensuram.
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 measurements of quantity and size;
30Levitæ vero ut stent mane ad confitendum et canendum Domino: similiterque ad vesperam,
30and to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise in the evening;
31tam in oblatione holocaustorum Domini, quam in sabbatis et calendis et solemnitatibus reliquis juxta numerum et cæremonias uniuscujusque rei, jugiter coram Domino.
31and to offer all burnt offerings to the LORD on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before the LORD;
32Et custodiant observationes tabernaculi fœderis, et ritum sanctuarii, et observationem filiorum Aaron fratrum suorum, ut ministrent in domo Domini.
32and that they should keep the duty of the Tent of Meeting, the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers for the service of the LORD’s house.
