WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Cuando David ya era muy anciano, hizo rey de Israel a su hijo Salomón.
1 Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Reunió a todos los jefes de Israel, a los sacerdotes y a los levitas.
2 He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 Contaron a los levitas de treinta años o más: treinta y ocho mil hombres.
3 The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
4 De ellos, veinticuatro mil supervisaban el trabajo de la casa del Señor, y seis mil eran funcionarios y jueces.
4 David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of Yahweh’s house, six thousand were officers and judges,
5 Cuatro mil eran porteros y otros cuatro mil alababan al Señor con los instrumentos que David había hecho para ese fin.
5 four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised Yahweh with the instruments which I made for giving praise.”
6 David los organizó por grupos según los hijos de Leví: Gersón, Coat y Merari.
6 David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 Los descendientes de Gersón fueron Ladán y Simei.

10 Los otros hijos de Simei fueron Jahat, Ziza, Jeús y Bería: cuatro en total.
10 The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
11 Jahat era el jefe y Ziza el segundo. Jeús y Bería tuvieron pocos hijos, así que los contaron como una sola familia.
11 Jahath 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.
12 Los hijos de Coat fueron Amram, Izhar, Hebrón y Uziel: cuatro.
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
13 Los hijos de Amram fueron Aarón y Moisés. Aarón y sus descendientes fueron consagrados para siempre para cuidar las cosas santísimas, presentar incienso ante el Señor, servirle y bendecir en su nombre.
13 The 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 Yahweh, to minister to him, and to bless in his name forever.
14 Los hijos de Moisés, hombre de Dios, fueron contados entre los levitas.
14 But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.

16 El hijo de Gersón fue Sebuel, el jefe.

20 Los hijos de Uziel fueron Micaías, el primero, e Isías, el segundo.

22 Eleazar murió sin hijos varones, pero dejó hijas. Los hijos de Cis, sus parientes, se casaron con ellas.

24 Estos eran los jefes de familia descendientes de Leví, inscritos por nombre. Los de veinte años o más trabajaban en la casa del Señor.
24 These 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 Yahweh’s house, from twenty years old and upward.
25 David había dicho: «El Señor, Dios de Israel, ha dado descanso a su pueblo y habitará en Jerusalén para siempre.
25 For David said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
26 Por eso los levitas ya no tendrán que transportar el tabernáculo ni los utensilios que se usan en él».
26 Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”
27 Según las últimas instrucciones de David, se contó a los levitas de veinte años o más.
27 For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were counted, from twenty years old and upward.
28 Ayudaban a los descendientes de Aarón en las tareas de la casa del Señor: cuidaban los atrios y las habitaciones, purificaban los objetos sagrados y atendían los demás servicios.
28 For their duty was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of Yahweh’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;
29 Se encargaban de los panes sagrados, la harina para las ofrendas, los panes sin levadura, las preparaciones cocidas o mezcladas, y todas las pesas y medidas.
29 for 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;
30 Cada mañana y cada tarde debían presentarse para alabar al Señor y darle gracias.
30 and to stand every morning to thank and praise Yahweh, and likewise in the evening;
31 También servían cuando se ofrecían al Señor los holocaustos de los sábados, las lunas nuevas y las fiestas establecidas, siempre en las cantidades prescritas.
31 and to offer all burnt offerings to Yahweh on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Yahweh;
32 Así cuidaban la Tienda de reunión y el santuario, y ayudaban a sus parientes descendientes de Aarón en el servicio de la casa del Señor.
32 and 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 Yahweh’s house.
