历代志上 23
1 大卫年纪老迈，日子满足，就立他儿子所罗门作以色列的王。
So when Dauid was olde and full of dayes, he made Salomon his sonne King ouer Israel.
2 大卫招聚以色列的众首领和祭司利未人。
And hee gathered together all the princes of Israel with the Priestes and the Leuites.
3 利未人从三十岁以外的都被数点，他们男丁的数目共有三万八千；
And the Leuites were numbred from ye age of thirtie yeere and aboue, and their nomber according to their summe was eight and thirtie thousand men.
4 其中有二万四千人管理耶和华殿的事，有六千人作官长和士师，
Of these foure and twentie thousande were set to aduance the worke of the house of the Lord, and sixe thousand were ouerseers and iudges.

Also the sonnes of Shimei were Iahath, Zina, Ieush, and Beriah: these foure were ye sonnes of Shimei.
11 雅哈是长子，细撒是次子。但耶乌施和比利亚的子孙不多，所以算为一族。
And Iahath was the chiefe, and Zizah the seconde, but Ieush and Beriah had not many sonnes: therfore they were in the families of their father, counted but as one.

25 大卫说：“耶和华—以色列的 神已经使他的百姓平安，他永远住在耶路撒冷。
For Dauid sayde, The Lord God of Israel hath giuen rest vnto his people, that they may dwell in Ierusalem for euer.
26 利未人不必再抬帐幕和其中所用的一切器皿了。”
And also the Leuites shall no more beare the Tabernacle and al the vessels for the seruice thereof.
27 照着大卫临终所吩咐的，利未人从二十岁以外的都被数点。
Therefore according to the last wordes of Dauid, the Leuites were nombred from twentie yeere and aboue,
28 他们的职任是服事亚伦的子孙，在耶和华的殿和院子，并屋中办事，洁净一切圣物，就是办 神殿的事务，
And their office was vnder the hand of the sonnes of Aaron, for the seruice of the house of the Lord in the courtes, and chambers, and in the purifiyng of all holy thinges, and in the worke of the seruice of the house of God,
29 并管理陈设饼，素祭的细面，或无酵薄饼，或用盘烤，或用油调和的物，又管理各样的升斗尺度；
Both for the shewbread, and for the fine floure, for the meate offring, and for the vnleauened cakes, and for the fryed things, and for that which was rosted, and for all measures and cise,

And for to stand euery morning, to giue thanks and praise to the Lord, and likewise at euen,

And to offer all burnt offrings vnto the Lord, in the Sabbaths, in the moneths, and at the appointed times, according to the nomber and according to their custome continually before the Lord,
32 又看守会幕和圣所，并守耶和华吩咐他们弟兄亚伦子孙的，办耶和华殿的事。
And that they should keepe the charge of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the charge of ye holy place, and the charge of ye sonnes of Aaron their brethren in the seruice of ye house of the Lord.
