24
These were the descendants of Levi by their families—the heads of families as they were registered under their names and counted individually, that is, the workers twenty years old or more who served in the temple of the LORD.
25 Dàwèi shuō , Yēhéhuá Yǐsèliè de shén yǐjing shǐ tāde bǎixìng píngān , tā yǒngyuǎn zhù zaì Yēlùsǎlĕng .
25
For David had said, “Since the LORD, the God of Israel, has granted rest to his people and has come to dwell in Jerusalem forever,
26 Lìwèi rén bù bì zaì tái zhàngmù hé qízhōng suǒ yòng de yīqiè qìmǐn le .
26
the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles used in its service.”
27 Zhào zhe Dàwèi línzhōng suǒ fēnfu de , Lìwèi rén cóng èr shí suì yǐwaì de dōu beì shǔ diǎn .
27
According to the last instructions of David, the Levites were counted from those twenty years old or more.
28 Tāmende zhírèn shì fúshì Yàlún de zǐsūn , zaì Yēhéhuá de diàn hé yuànzi , bìng wū zhōng bàn shì , jiéjìng yīqiè shèngwù , jiù shì bàn shén diàn de shì wù ,
28
The duty of the Levites was to help Aaron’s descendants in the service of the temple of the LORD: to be in charge of the courtyards, the side rooms, the purification of all sacred things and the performance of other duties at the house of God.
29 Bìng guǎnlǐ chénshèbǐng , sù jì de xì miàn , huò wú jiào baóbǐng , huò yòng pán kǎo , huò yòng yóu tiaóhe de wù , yòu guǎnlǐ gèyàng de shēngdǒu chĕ dù .
29
They were in charge of the bread set out on the table, the special flour for the grain offerings, the thin loaves made without yeast, the baking and the mixing, and all measurements of quantity and size.
30 Mĕi rì zǎo wǎn , zhàn lì chēngxiè zànmĕi Yēhéhuá ,
30
They were also to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD. They were to do the same in the evening
31 Yòu zaì ānxīrì , yuè shuò , bīng4 jiéqī , àn shǔ zhàolì , jiāng Fánjì chángcháng xiàn gĕi Yēhéhuá .
31
and whenever burnt offerings were presented to the LORD on the Sabbaths, at the New Moon feasts and at the appointed festivals. They were to serve before the LORD regularly in the proper number and in the way prescribed for them.
32 Yòu kānshǒu huì mù hé shèng suǒ , bìng shǒu Yēhéhuá fēnfu tāmen dìxiōng Yàlún zǐsūn de , bàn Yēhéhuá diàn de shì .
32
And so the Levites carried out their responsibilities for the tent of meeting, for the Holy Place and, under their relatives the descendants of Aaron, for the service of the temple of the LORD.
