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.
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 Λευείτας.
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 εἴκοσι τέσσαρες 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 τώσσαρες χιλιάδες αἰνοῦντες τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν ὀργάνοιν 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 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, Zetham, and Joel, three.
8γἱοὶ τῷ Ἐδάν, ἄρχων Ἰεϊὴλ, καὶ Ζηθὸμ, καὶ Ἰωήλ, καὶ τρεῖς.
9The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.
9γἱοὶ Σεμεῒ, Σαλωμὶθ, Ἰεϊὴλ, καὶ Δὰν, 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 Ἰῶας, 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 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 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.
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 were 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.
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, Ῥαβιὰ ὁ ἄρχων· καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν τῷ Ἐλιέζερ υἱοὶ ἕτεροι· καὶ υἱοὶ Ῥαβιὰ ηὐξήθησαν εἰς ὕψος.
18The son 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.
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 υἱοὶ, ἀλλʼ ἢ θυγατέρες· καὶ ἔλαβον αὐτὰς υἱοὶ Κὶς ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν.
23The sons of Mushi: Mahli, 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 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 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, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
25Ὅτι εἶπε Δαυὶδ, 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 λειτουργείαν 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 λειτουργείας 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 πρωῒ τοῦ αἰνεῖν καὶ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ οὕτω τοεσπέρας·
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 νεομηνίαις καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς, κατὰ ἀριθμὸν, κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν ἐπʼ 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.
