1 Crónicas 23
Riveduta 1927
1Davide vecchio e sazio di giorni, stabilì Salomone, suo figliuolo, re d’Israele.
2E radunò tutti i capi d’Israele, i sacerdoti e i Leviti.
3Fu fatto un censimento dei Leviti dall’età di trent’anni in su; e, contati testa per testa, uomo per uomo, il loro numero risultò di trentottomila.
4E Davide disse: “Ventiquattromila di questi siano addetti a dirigere l’opera della casa dell’Eterno; seimila siano magistrati e giudici;
5quattromila siano portinai, e quattromila celebrino l’Eterno con gli strumenti che io ho fatti per celebrarlo”.
6E Davide li divise in classi, secondo i figliuoli di Levi: Ghershon, Kehath e Merari.
7Dei Ghershoniti: Laedan e Scimei.
8Figliuoli di Laedan: il capo Jehiel, Zetham, Joel; tre.
9Figliuoli di Scimei: Scelomith, Haziel, Haran; tre. Questi sono i capi delle famiglie patriarcali di Laedan.
10Figliuoli di Scimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush e Beria. Questi sono i quattro figliuoli di Scimei.
11Jahath era il capo; Zina, il secondo; Jeush e Beria non ebbero molti figliuoli, e, nel censimento, formarono una sola casa patriarcale.
12Figliuoli di Kehath: Amram, Jtsehar, Hebron, Uzziel; quattro.
13Figliuoli di Amram: Aaronne e Mosè. Aaronne fu appartato per esser consacrato come santissimo, egli coi suoi figliuoli, in perpetuo, per offrire i profumi dinanzi all’Eterno, per ministrargli, e per pronunziare in perpetuo la benedizione nel nome di lui.
14Quanto a Mosè, l’uomo di Dio, i suoi figliuoli furono contati nella tribù di Levi.
15Figliuoli di Mosè: Ghershom ed Eliezer.
16Figliuoli di Ghershom: Scebuel, il capo.
17E i figliuoli di Eliezer furono: Rehabia, il capo. Eliezer non ebbe altri figliuoli; ma i figliuoli di Rehabia furono numerosissimi.
18Figliuoli di Jtsehar: Scelomith, il capo.
19Figliuoli di Hebron: Jerija, il capo; Amaria, il secondo: Jahaziel, il terzo, e Jekameam, il quarto.
20Figliuoli d’Uzziel: Mica, il capo, e Jscia, il secondo.
21Figliuoli di Merari: Mahli e Musci. Figliuoli di Mahli: Eleazar e Kis.
22Eleazar morì e non ebbe figliuoli, ma solo delle figliuole; e le sposarono i figliuoli di Kis, loro parenti.
23Figliuoli di Musci: Mahli, Eder e Jeremoth; tre.
24Questi sono i figliuoli di Levi secondo le loro case patriarcali, i capi famiglia secondo il censimento, fatto contando i nomi, testa per testa. Essi erano addetti a fare il servizio della casa dell’Eterno, dall’età di vent’anni in su,
25poiché Davide avea detto: “L’Eterno, l’Iddio d’Israele, ha dato riposo al suo popolo, ed esso è venuto a stabilirsi a Gerusalemme per sempre;
26e anche i Leviti non avranno più bisogno di portare il tabernacolo e tutti gli utensili per il suo servizio”.
27Fu secondo le ultime disposizioni di Davide che il censimento dei figliuoli di Levi si fece dai venti anni in su.
28Posti presso i figliuoli d’Aaronne per il servizio della casa dell’Eterno, essi aveano l’incarico dei cortili, delle camere, della purificazione di tutte le cose sacre, dell’opera relativa al servizio della casa di Dio,
29dei pani della presentazione, del fior di farina per le offerte, delle focacce non lievitate, delle cose da cuocere sulla gratella, di quella da friggere, e di tutte le misure di capacità e di lunghezza.
30Doveano presentarsi ogni mattina e ogni sera per lodare e celebrare l’Eterno,
31e per offrire del continuo davanti all’Eterno tutti gli olocausti, secondo il numero prescritto loro dalla legge, per i sabati, pei noviluni e per le feste solenni;
32e doveano prender cura della tenda di convegno, del santuario, e stare agli ordini dei figliuoli d’Aaronne loro fratelli, per il servizio della casa dell’Eterno.
Reina-Valera 1909
1SIENDO pues David ya viejo y harto de días, hizo á Salomón su hijo rey sobre Israel.
2Y juntando á todos los principales de Israel, y á los sacerdotes y Levitas,
3Fueron contados los Levitas de treinta años arriba; y fué el número de ellos por sus cabezas, contados uno á uno, treinta y ocho mil.
4De éstos, veinticuatro mil para dar prisa á la obra de la casa de Jehová; y gobernadores y jueces, seis mil;
5Además cuatro mil porteros; y cuatro mil para alabar á Jehová, dijo David, con los instrumentos que he hecho para rendir alabanzas.
6Y repartiólos David en órdenes conforme á los hijos de Leví, Gersón y Coath y Merari.
7Los hijos de Gersón: Ladán, y Simi.
8Los hijos de Ladán, tres: Jehiel el primero, después Zetham y Joel.
9Los hijos de Simi, tres: Selomith, Haziel, y Arán. Estos fueron los príncipes de las familias de Ladán.
10Y los hijos de Simi: Jahath, Zinat, Jeus, y Berías. Estos cuatro fueron los hijos de Simi.
11Jahath era el primero, Zinat el segundo; mas Jeus y Berías no multiplicaron en hijos, por lo cual fueron contados por una familia.
12Los hijos de Coath: Amram, Ishar, Hebrón, y Uzziel, ellos cuatro.
13Los hijos de Amram: Aarón y Moisés. Y Aarón fué apartado para ser dedicado á las más santas cosas, él y sus hijos para siempre, para que quemasen perfumes delante de Jehová, y le ministrasen, y bendijesen en su nombre, para siempre.
14Y los hijos de Moisés, varón de Dios, fueron contados en la tribu de Leví.
15Los hijos de Moisés fueron Gersón y Eliezer.
16Hijo de Gersón fué Sebuel el primero.
17E hijo de Eliezer fué Rehabía el primero. Y Eliezer no tuvo otros hijos; mas los hijos de Rehabía fueron muchos.
18Hijo de Ishar fué Selomith el primero.
19Los hijos de Hebrón: Jería el primero, Amarías el segundo, Jahaziel el tercero, y Jecamán el cuarto.
20Los hijos de Uzziel: Michâ el primero, é Isía el segundo.
21Los hijos de Merari: Mahali y Musi. Los hijos de Mahali: Eleazar y Cis.
22Y murió Eleazar sin hijos, mas tuvo hijas; y los hijos de Cis, sus hermanos, las tomaron por mujeres.
23Los hijos de Musi: Mahali, Eder y Jerimoth, ellos tres.
24Estos son los hijos de Leví en las familias de sus padres, cabeceras de familias en sus delineaciones, contados por sus nombres, por sus cabezas, los cuales hacían obra en el ministerio de la casa de Jehová, de veinte años arriba.
25Porque David dijo: Jehová Dios de Israel ha dado reposo á su pueblo Israel, y el habitar en Jerusalem para siempre.
26Y también los Levitas no llevarán más el tabernáculo, y todos sus vasos para su ministerio.
27Así que, conforme á las postreras palabras de David, fué la cuenta de los hijos de Leví de veinte años arriba.
28Y estaban bajo la mano de los hijos de Aarón, para ministrar en la casa de Jehová, en los atrios y en las cámaras, y en la purificación de toda cosa santificada, y en la demás obra del ministerio de la casa de Dios;
29Asimismo para los panes de la proposición, y para la flor de la harina para el sacrificio, y para las hojuelas sin levadura, y para la fruta de sartén, y para lo tostado, y para toda medida y cuenta;
30Y para que asistiesen cada mañana todos los días á confesar y alabar á Jehová, y asimismo á la tarde;
31Y para ofrecer todos los holocaustos á Jehová los sábados, nuevas lunas, y solemnidades, por la cuenta y forma que tenían, continuamente delante de Jehová.
32Y para que tuviesen la guarda del tabernáculo del testimonio, y la guarda del santuario, y las órdenes de los hijos de Aarón sus hermanos, en el ministerio de la casa de Jehová.
King James Version
1So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
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.
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:
5Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.
6And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.
8The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
10And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
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.
12The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
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.
14Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
15The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.
16Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
17And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
19Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah the first, and Jesiah the second.
21The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.
22And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
23The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24These 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.
25For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
26And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
27For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:
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;
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;
30And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even;
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:
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.
World English Bible
1Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
4David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the LORD’s house, six thousand were officers and judges,
5four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made for giving praise.”
6David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
8The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, Zetham, and Joel, three.
9The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.
10The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
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.
12The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
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.
14But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
15The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
16The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.
17The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18The son of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.
19The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
21The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
22Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only; and their relatives, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.
23The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
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.
25For David said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
26Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”
27For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were counted, from twenty years old and upward.
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;
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;
30and to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise in the evening;
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;
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.
