RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Then David, being old and full of days, appointed his son Solomon as king over Israel.
1 SIENDO pues David ya viejo y harto de días, hizo á Salomón su hijo rey sobre Israel.
2 And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel, with the priests as well as the Levites.
2 Y juntando á todos los principales de Israel, y á los sacerdotes y Levitas,
3 And the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward. And there were found thirty-eight thousand men.
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 chosen and distributed to the ministry of the house of the Lord. Then six thousand were overseers and judges.
4 De éstos, veinticuatro mil para dar prisa á la obra de la casa de Jehová; y gobernadores y jueces, seis mil;
5 Moreover, four thousand were porters. And the same number were the singers of psalms to the Lord, with the musical instruments which he had made for the music.
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 distributed them into courses according to the sons of Levi, specifically, Gershom, and Kohath, and Merari.
6 Y repartiólos David en órdenes conforme á los hijos de Leví, Gersón y Coath y Merari.
7 The sons of Gershom: Ladan and Shimei.
7 Los hijos de Gersón: Ladán, y Simi.
8 The sons of Ladan: the leader Jahiel, 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 leaders 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 Then the sons of Shimei: Jahath, and Zizah, and Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei, four.
10 Y los hijos de Simi: Jahath, Zinat, Jeus, y Berías. Estos cuatro fueron los hijos de Simi.
11 Now Jahath was first, Zizah second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, and for this reason they were reckoned as one family and one house.
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 and 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. Now Aaron was separated so that he might minister in the Holy of Holies, he and his sons forever, and so that he might burn incense to the Lord, according to his rite, and so that he might bless his name in perpetuity.
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 The sons of Moses, the man of God, were also numbered in 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 Now the sons of Eliezer were Rehabiah the first. And there were no other sons for Eliezer. But the sons of Rehabiah were multiplied exceedingly.
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, 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, 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 Then Eleazar died, and had no sons, but only daughters. And so the sons of Kish, their brothers, married them.
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 are the sons of Levi, in their kindred and families, leaders in turns, and the number of each of the heads who were doing the works of the ministry of the house of the Lord, from twenty years of age and upward.
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 rest to his people, and a habitation in Jerusalem even unto eternity.
25 Porque David dijo: Jehová Dios de Israel ha dado reposo á su pueblo Israel, y el habitar en Jerusalem para siempre.
26 Neither shall it be the office of the Levites any more to carry the tabernacle with all its equipment for use in the ministry.”
26 Y también los Levitas no llevarán más el tabernáculo, y todos sus vasos para su ministerio.
27 Also, according to the last precepts of David, the sons of Levi shall be counted by number from twenty years of age and upward.
27 Así que, conforme á las postreras palabras de David, fué la cuenta de los hijos de Leví de veinte años arriba.
28 And they shall be under the hand of the sons of Aaron, in the care of the house of the Lord, in the vestibule, and in the chambers, and in the place of purification, and in the sanctuary, and in all the works of the ministry of the temple 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 But the priests shall be over the bread of the presence, and the sacrifice of fine wheat flour, and the unleavened cakes, and the frying pan, and the roasting, and over every weight and measure.
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 Yet truly, the Levites shall stand to confess and to sing to the Lord, in the morning, and similarly in the evening,
30 Y para que asistiesen cada mañana todos los días á confesar y alabar á Jehová, y asimismo á la tarde;
31 as much in the oblation of the holocausts of the Lord, as in the Sabbaths and new moons and other solemnities, according to the number and ceremonies for each and every matter, perpetually 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 let them keep the observances of the tabernacle of the covenant, and the rituals of the sanctuary, and the observance of the sons of Aaron, their brothers, so that they may minister in 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.
