Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
1ΚΑΙ Δαυὶδ πρεσβύτης καὶ πλήρης ἡμερῶν καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Σαλωμὼν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ.
2He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
2καὶ συνήγαγε τοὺς πάντας ἄρχοντας Ἰσραὴλ καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ τοὺς Λευίτας.
3The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
3καὶ ἠρίθμησαν οἱ Λευῖται ἀπὸ τριακονταετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω, καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν κατὰ κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν εἰς ἄνδρας τριάκοντα καὶ ὀκτὼ χιλιάδας.
4David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the LORD’s house, six thousand were officers and judges,
4ἀπὸ τῶν ἐργοδιωκτῶν ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα οἴκου Κυρίου εἰκοσιτέσσαρες χιλιάδες καὶ γραμματεῖς καὶ κριταὶ ἑξακισχίλιοι
5four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made for giving praise.”
5καὶ τέσσαρες χιλιάδες πυλωροὶ καὶ τέσσαρες χιλιάδες αἰνοῦντες τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν ὀργάνοις, οἷς ἐποίησε τοῦ αἰνεῖν τῷ Κυρίῳ.
6David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
6καὶ διεῖλεν αὐτοὺς Δαυὶδ ἐφημερίας τοῖς υἱοῖς Λευί, τῷ Γεδσών, Καὰθ καὶ Μεραρί.
7Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
7καὶ τῷ Γεδσών· Ἐδὰν καὶ Σεμεΐ.
8The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, Zetham, and Joel, three.
8υἱοὶ τῷ Ἐδάν· ἄρχων Ἰεϊὴλ καὶ Ζηθὰν καὶ Ἰωήλ, τρεῖς.
9The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.
9υἱοὶ Σεμεΐ· Σαλωμίθ, Ἰεϊὴλ καὶ Δάν, τρεῖς. οὗτοι ἄρχοντες πατριῶν τῶν Ἐδάν.
10The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
10καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Σεμεΐ· Ἰὲθ καὶ Ζιζὰ καὶ Ἰωὰς καὶ Βεριά· οὗτοι υἱοὶ Σεμεΐ τέσσαρες.
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.
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.
12υἱοὶ Καάθ· Ἀμβράμ, Ἰσαάρ, Χεβρών, Ὀζιήλ, τέσσαρες.
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.
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.
14But as 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 sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.
16υἱοὶ Γηρσάμ· Σουβαὴλ ὁ ἄρχων.
17The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
17καὶ ἦσαν υἱοὶ τῷ Ἐλιέζερ· Ραβιὰ ὁ ἄρχων· καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν τῷ Ἐλιέζερ υἱοὶ ἕτεροι. καὶ υἱοὶ Ραβιὰ ηὐξήθησαν εἰς ὕψος.
18The son of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.
18υἱοὶ Ἰσαάρ· Σαλωμὼθ ὁ ἄρχων.
19The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, 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 the chief, 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, and had no sons, but daughters only; and their relatives, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.
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.
23υἱοὶ Μουσί· Μοολὶ καὶ Ἐδὲρ καὶ Ἰαριμώθ, τρεῖς.
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.
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 said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
25ὅτι εἶπε Δαυίδ· κατέπαυσε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ καὶ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἕως αἰῶνος.
26Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”
26καὶ οἱ Λευῖται οὐκ ἦσαν αἴροντες τὴν σκηνὴν καὶ τὰ πάντα σκεύη αὐτῆς εἰς τὴν λειτουργίαν αὐτῆς·
27For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were counted, from twenty years old and upward.
27ὅτι ἐν τοῖς λόγοις Δαυὶδ τοῖς ἐσχάτοις ἐστὶν ὁ ἀριθμὸς υἱῶν Λευὶ ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω·
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;
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
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;
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 in the evening;
30καὶ τοῦ στῆναι πρωΐ τοῦ αἰνεῖν καὶ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ οὕτω τὸ ἑσπέρας
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;
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.
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.
32καὶ φυλάξουσι τὰς φυλακὰς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ τὴν φυλακὴν τοῦ ἁγίου καὶ τὰς φυλακὰς υἱῶν Ἀαρὼν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν τοῦ λειτουργεῖν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.
