RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Now David was old and full of days; and he made his son Solomon king over Israel.
1 SIENDO pues David ya viejo y harto de días, hizo á Salomón su hijo rey sobre Israel.
2 And he got together all the chiefs of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
2 Y juntando á todos los principales de Israel, y á los sacerdotes y Levitas,
3 And the Levites, all those of thirty years old and over, were numbered; and the number of them, by heads, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
3 Fueron contados los Levitas de treinta años arriba; y fué el número de ellos por sus cabezas, contados uno á uno, treinta y ocho mil.
4 Of these, twenty-four thousand were to be overseers of the work of the house of the Lord, and six thousand were judges and men of authority;
4 De éstos, veinticuatro mil para dar prisa á la obra de la casa de Jehová; y gobernadores y jueces, seis mil;
5 Four thousand were door-keepers; and four thousand gave praise to the Lord with the instruments which I made, said David, for giving praise.
5 Además cuatro mil porteros; y cuatro mil para alabar á Jehová, [dijo David], con los instrumentos que he hecho para rendir alabanzas.
6 And David put them into divisions under the names of the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
6 Y repartiólos David en órdenes conforme á los hijos de Leví, Gersón y Coath y Merari.
7 Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
7 Los hijos de Gersón: Ladán, y Simi.
8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham and Joel, three.
8 Los hijos de Ladán, tres: Jehiel el primero, después Zetham y Joel.
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran, three; these were the heads of the families of Ladan.
9 Los hijos de Simi, tres: Selomith, Haziel, y Arán. Estos fueron los príncipes de las familias de Ladán.
10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zizah and Jeush and Beriah; these four were the sons of Shimei.
10 Y los hijos de Simi: Jahath, Zinat, Jeus, y Berías. Estos cuatro fueron los hijos de Simi.
11 Jahath was the chief and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah had only a small number of sons, so they were grouped together as one family.
11 Jahath era el primero, Zinat el segundo; mas Jeus y Berías no multiplicaron [en] hijos, por lo cual fueron contados por una familia.
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
12 Los hijos de Coath: Amram, Ishar, Hebrón, y Uzziel, ellos cuatro.
13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was made separate and holy, he and his sons for ever, for the care of the most holy things and the burning of offerings before the Lord, to do his work and give blessings in his name for ever.
13 Los 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.
14 And the sons of Moses, the man of God, were put into the list of the tribe of Levi.
14 Y los hijos de Moisés, varón de Dios, fueron contados en la tribu de Leví.
15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
15 Los hijos de Moisés fueron Gersón y Eliezer.
16 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the first.
16 Hijo de Gersón fué Sebuel el primero.
17 And the sons of Eliezer: Rehabiah the first; and Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had a great number.
17 E hijo de Eliezer fué Rehabía el primero. Y Eliezer no tuvo otros hijos; mas los hijos de Rehabía fueron muchos.
18 The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the first.
18 Hijo de Ishar fué Selomith el primero.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
19 Los hijos de Hebrón: Jería el primero, Amarías el segundo, Jahaziel el tercero, y Jecamán el cuarto.
20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah the first, and Isshiah the second.
20 Los hijos de Uzziel: Michâ el primero, é Isía el segundo.
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; the sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
21 Los hijos de Merari: Mahali y Musi. Los hijos de Mahali: Eleazar y Cis.
22 And at his death Eleazar had no sons, but only daughters, and their relations, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.
22 Y murió Eleazar sin hijos, mas tuvo hijas; y los hijos de Cis, sus hermanos, las tomaron [por mujeres].
23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli and Eder and Jeremoth, three.
23 Los hijos de Musi: Mahali, Eder y Jerimoth, ellos tres.
24 These were the sons of Levi, grouped by families, the heads of the families of those who were numbered by name, by heads, all those of twenty years old and over who did the work of the house of the Lord.
24 Estos 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.
25 For David said, The Lord, the God of Israel, has given his people rest, and he has made his resting-place in Jerusalem for ever;
25 Porque David dijo: Jehová Dios de Israel ha dado reposo á su pueblo Israel, y el habitar en Jerusalem para siempre.
26 And from now, there will be no need for the House of the Lord, and the vessels used in it, to be moved about by the Levites.
26 Y también los Levitas no llevarán más el tabernáculo, y todos sus vasos para su ministerio.
27 So among the last acts of David was the numbering of the sons of Levi, from twenty years old and over.
27 Así que, conforme á las postreras palabras de David, fué la cuenta de los hijos de Leví de veinte años arriba.
28 Their place was by the side of the sons of Aaron in all the work of the house of the Lord, in the open spaces and in the rooms, in the making clean of all the holy things, in doing all the work of the house of the Lord,
28 Y 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;
29 The holy bread was in their care, and the crushed grain for the meal offering, of unleavened cakes or meal cooked over the fire or in water; they had control of all sorts of weights and measures;
29 Asimismo 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;
30 They had to take their places every morning to give praise and make melody to the Lord, and in the same way at evening;
30 Y para que asistiesen cada mañana todos los días á confesar y alabar á Jehová, y asimismo á la tarde;
31 At every offering of burned offerings to the Lord, on Sabbaths, and at the new moons, and on the regular feasts, in the number ordered by the law, at all times before the Lord;
31 Y para ofrecer todos los holocaustos á Jehová los sábados, nuevas lunas, y solemnidades, por la cuenta y forma que tenían, continuamente delante de Jehová.
32 And they had the care of the Tent of meeting and the holy place, under the direction of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the work of the house of the Lord.
32 Y 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.
