Haitian Creole Version
25 ¶ Apre sa, wa David ak chèf moun Levi ki reskonsab sèvis nan Tanp lan te chwazi branch fanmi Asaf, branch fanmi Eyman ak branch fanmi Jedoutoun pou ba yo travay pa yo. Se yo ki pou bay mesaj Bondye yo, antan y'ap jwe gita, bandjo ak senbal. Men lis moun yo te chwazi yo ak travay yo chak:
2 Asaf te gen kat pitit: Zakou, Jozèf, Netama ak Acharela. Yo te sou zòd Asaf. Se li ki te konn fè konnen mesaj Bondye yo chak lè wa a mande l' pou l' fè l'.
3 Jedoutoun te gen sis pitit: Gedalya, Zeri, Izayi, Chimèy, Asabya ak Matatya. Yo te sou zòd Jedoutoun, papa yo. Se yo ki te konn fè konnen mesaj Bondye yo antan y'ap jwe gita, pou fè lwanj Bondye, pou di l' mèsi.
4 Eyman te gen katòz pitit: Boukija, Matanya, Ouzyèl, Sebwèl, Jerimòt, Ananya, Anani, Elyata, Gidalti, Womanti-Ezè, Josbekacha, Maloti, Oti ak Maziòt.
5 Bondye te bay Eyman, pwofèt wa a, katòz pitit gason sa yo ak twa pitit fi, dapre pwomès li te fè l' pou l' te ba li anpil pouvwa. Lè yo t'ap fè konnen mesaj Bondye yo, se yo ki te pou kònen twonpèt yo.
6 Se Eyman, papa yo, ki t'ap dirije yo lè y'ap chante nan sèvis y'ap fè nan Tanp Bondye a, antan y'ap jwe gita, bandjo ak senbal. Asaf, Jedoutoun ak Eyman te sou zòd wa a.
7 Sa te fè antou desankatrevenwit (288) mizisyen ki te fò nan fè mizik, ansanm ak tout lòt moun Levi parèy yo ki te aprann chante pou Seyè a.
8 ¶ Yo fè tout moun piye, gran kou piti, ni sa ki te fò nan fè mizik, ni sa ki te fèk konmanse aprann, pou yo te ka konnen lè pou yo fè travay yo nan sèvis la.

Nan chak gwoup te gen yon chèf ak pitit gason l' yo ansanm ak frè l' yo. Men nan ki lòd yo te soti apre yo fin piye a. Premye a te Jozèf nan fanmi Asaf la, dezyèm lan Gedalya, twazyèm lan Zakou, katriyèm lan Jisri, senkyèm lan Netanya, sizyèm lan Boukya, setyèm lan Acharela, wityèm lan Izayi, nevyèm lan Matanya, dizyèm lan Chimeyi, onzyèm lan Azareyèl, douzyèm lan Achabya, trèzyèm lan Choubayèl, katòzyèm lan Matatya, kenzyèm lan Jerimòt, sèzyèm lan Ananya, disetyèm lan Josbekacha, dizwityèm lan Anani, diznevyèm lan Maloti, ventyèm lan Elyata, venteyenyèm lan Oti, venndezyèm lan Gidalti, venntwazyèm lan Maziòt, vennkatryèm lan Womanti-Ezè.
26 ¶ Men jan yo te separe travay la pou moun Levi ki t'ap sèvi tankou gad nan pòtay Tanp lan. Nan branch fanmi Kore a, te gen Mechelemya, pitit gason Kore a ki te yon pitit Ebyasaf.
2 Mechelemya te gen sèt pitit gason: Zakari pi gran an, Jedyayèl dezyèm lan, Zebadya twazyèm lan, Jatniyèl katriyèm lan.
3 Elam senkyèm lan, Joanan sizyèm lan ak Elioenayi setyèm lan.
4 Te gen Obèd-Edon tou. Bondye te beni l', li te ba li wit pitit gason: Chenaja premye a, Jeozabad dezyèm lan, Joa twazyèm lan, Saka katriyèm lan, Netaneyèl senkyèm lan.
5 Amiyèl sizyèm lan, Isaka setyèm lan ak Peoultayi wityèm lan.
6 Chemaja, premye pitit Obèd-Edon an, te gen sis pitit gason: Se yo ki te chèf nan branch fanmi yo paske yo te vanyan sòlda ak anpil ladrès.
7 Men non pitit Chemaja yo: Otni, Refayèl, Obèd, Elzabad, Eliyou ak Semakya. De dènye yo te vanyan sòlda.
8 Se tout fanmi Obèd-Edon an sa ansanm ak pitit yo ak frè yo. Yo tout te vanyan sòlda ak anpil ladrès pou fè travay yo. Te gen swasannde moun antou nan fanmi Obèd-Edon an.
9 Nan fanmi Mechelemya a, te gen antou dizwit gason, tout vanyan sòlda.
10 Nan branch fanmi Merari a te gen Oza ki te gen kat pitit gason: Se te Chimri ki te chèf fanmi an. Se pa li ki te premye pitit gason, men se papa l' ki te mete l' chèf fanmi an.
11 Ilkija dezyèm lan, Tebalya twazyèm lan, Zakari katriyèm lan. Sa te fè antou trèz frè ak pitit gason nan fanmi Oza a.
12 Travay gwoup moun sa yo se fè pòs nan pòtay Tanp lan. Yo te bay chak gwoup travay pa yo nan sèvis Tanp lan, tankou yo te fè l' pou lòt moun Levi yo.
13 Chak fanmi, gwo kou piti, piye pou yo konnen nan ki pòtay y'ap fè travay yo.
14 Chelemya soti pou pòtay ki bay sou solèy leve a. Pòtay nò a soti pou Zakari, pitit gason l' lan, ki te konn bay moun bon konsèy.
15 Pòtay sid la soti pou Obèd-Edon. Pitit gason l' yo te gen depo yo sou kont yo.
16 Pòtay solèy kouche a ak pòtay Chalechèt ki bay sou chemen ki moute a te sou kont Choupim ak Oza. Chak faksyonnè, yonn apre lòt, te gen lè sèvis pa yo.
17 Chak jou, te gen sis gad pou pòtay bò solèy leve a, kat gad pou pòtay nò a, kat gad pou pòtay sid la ak de gad pou chak depo yo.
18 Pou pòsyon kay ki bay sou solèy kouche a, te gen kat gad pou wout la ak de gad pou pòsyon kay la menm.
19 Men travay yo te bay moun fanmi Kore yo ak moun fanmi Merari yo.
20 ¶ Gen lòt moun Levi yo te mete reskonsab trezò Tanp lan ak depo kote yo mete tout bagay ki apa pou Bondye yo.
21 Layedan, yonn nan pitit Gèchon yo, te zansèt anpil fanmi. Yonn ladan yo te fanmi Jekiyèl yo.
22 Pitit Jekiyèl yo ak pitit frè l' yo, Zetam ak Joèl, te reskonsab trezò Tanp Seyè a.
23 Yo te bay pitit Amram yo, pitit Isa yo, pitit Ebwon yo ak pitit Ouzyèl yo travay pa yo tou.
24 Chebwèl, yonn nan fanmi Gèchòm, pitit gason Moyiz la, te premye reskonsab trezò Tanp lan.
25 Sou bò Elyezè, tonton li, li te fanmi ak Rekabya, pitit Elyezè a, ki te papa Jezaja. Jezaja sa a te papa Joram, Joram te papa Zikri, Zikri te papa Chelomit.
26 Se Chelomit sa a ansanm ak fanmi l' yo ki te reskonsab depo tout bagay wa David, chèf fanmi yo, kòmandan rejiman mil sòlda yo, kòmandan divizyon san sòlda yo ak tout lòt gwo chèf nan lame a te mete apa pou Seyè a.
27 Nan bagay yo te pran nan lagè, yo te mete kèk ladan yo apa pou fè Tanp lan pi bèl.
28 Te gen bagay Samyèl, pwofèt la, wa Sayil, pitit gason Kich la, Abnè, pitit Nè a, ak Joab, pitit Sewouya a, te mete apa pou sèvis Bondye. Tou sa te sou kont Chelomit ak fanmi l' yo.
29 ¶ Nan branch fanmi Jizeya a, te gen Kenanya ak pitit gason l' yo ki te reskonsab travay ki fèt an deyò Tanp lan pou pèp Izrayèl la. Se yo ki te kenbe tout papye konsekan yo, epi ki te rann jijman nan tribinal.
30 Nan branch fanmi Ebwon an, te gen Asabya ak fanmi l' yo, antou milsètsan (1700) vanyan gason ki te reskonsab enspekte zòn peyi Izrayèl ki te sou bò solèy kouche larivyè Jouden an, pou wè si tout bagay ki gen rapò ak sèvis Seyè a ansanm ak zafè wa a t'ap mache byen.
31 David te gen karantan depi li te wa, lè yo mennen yon ankèt nan branch fanmi Ebwon an. Lè sa a, yo jwenn te gen anpil vanyan sòlda nan fanmi sa a ki t'ap viv lavil Jazè nan zòn Galarad. Chèf fanmi Ebwon an te rele Jerija.
32 Nan fanmi an, te gen antou demilsètsan (2700) vanyan gason ki te chèf fanmi yo. Wa David te mete yo reskonsab branch fanmi Woubenn lan, branch fanmi Gad la ak mwatye nan branch fanmi Manase a ki t'ap viv lòt bò larivyè Jouden sou bò solèy leve, pou wè si tout bagay ki gen rapò ak sèvis Bondye ansanm ak zafè wa a t'ap mache byen.
27 ¶ Men lis chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la ak kòmandan rejiman mil sòlda ak kòmandan divizyon san sòlda ansanm ak lòt anplwaye yo te konte ki t'ap sèvi ak wa a nan gouvènman li. Chak mwa nan lanne a te gen yon gwoup vennkatmil gason (24.000) ki te desèvis sou lòd yon chèf diferan.
2 Pou gwoup ki te desèvis pou premye mwa a, se Jachobeam, pitit gason Zabdyèl la, ki te chèf.
3 Se te yon moun nan fanmi Farèz. Li te kòmandan tout chèf lame ki te desèvis pou premye mwa a.
4 Pou gwoup dezyèm mwa a, se te Dodayi, moun lavil Akoa, ki te chèf. Li te gen Miklòt pou adjwen.
5 Pou gwoup twazyèm mwa a, chèf lame a te rele Benaja, pitit Jeoyada, granprèt la.
6 Benaja sa a te chèf trant pi vanyan sòlda yo. Apre li, se Amizabad, pitit gason l', ki te pran kòmandman gwoup la.
7 Pou gwoup katriyèm mwa a, se Azayèl, frè Joab la, ki te chèf. Apre li, se Zebadya, pitit li, ki te pran kòmandman an.
8 Pou gwoup senkyèm mwa a, se Chamout, moun fanmi Izra, ki te chèf.
9 Pou gwoup sizyèm mwa a, se Ira, pitit gason Ikèch, moun lavil Tekoa, ki te chèf.
10 Pou gwoup setyèm mwa a, se Elèz, moun fanmi Efrayim nan lavil Pelon, ki te chèf.
11 Pou gwoup wityèm mwa a, se Sibekayi, moun lavil Oucha, ki te chèf. Se yon moun fanmi Zera nan gwo branch fanmi Jida a.
12 Pou gwoup nevyèm mwa a, se Abyezè, moun lavil Anatòt nan branch fanmi Benjamen, ki te chèf.
13 Pou gwoup dizyèm mwa a, se Marayi, moun lavil Netofa nan fanmi Zera, ki te chèf.
14 Pou gwoup onzyèm mwa a, se Benaja, moun lavil Piraton nan zòn ki pou branch fanmi Efrayim lan, ki te chèf.
15 Pou gwoup douzyèm mwa a, se Eldayi, moun fanmi Otnyèl nan lavil Netofa, ki te chèf.
16 ¶ Men non chèf ki te reskonsab douz gwo branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la: Pou branch fanmi Woubenn lan, se te Elyezè, pitit gason Zikri. Pou branch fanmi Simeyon an, se te Sefatya, pitit gason Maka.
17 Pou branch fanmi Levi a, se te Asabya, pitit gason Kemwèl. Pou branch fanmi Arawon an, se te Zadòk.
18 Pou branch fanmi Jida a, se te Eliyou, yonn nan frè David yo. Pou branch fanmi Isaka a, se te Omri, pitit gason Mikayèl.
19 Pou branch fanmi Zabilon an, se te Ismaja, pitit gason Obadya. Pou branch fanmi Neftali a, se te Jerimòt, pitit gason Azriyèl.
20 Pou branch fanmi Efrayim lan, se te Oze, pitit gason Azazya. Pou mwatye branch fanmi Manase a, se te Joèl, pitit gason Pedaja.
21 Pou lòt mwatye branch fanmi Manase a, ki te rete nan peyi Galarad, se te Ido, pitit gason Zakari. Pou branch fanmi Benjamen an, se te Jasiyèl, pitit gason Abnè.
22 Pou branch fanmi Dann lan, se te Azareyèl, pitit gason Jeworam lan. Se yo ki te chèf branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo.
23 David pa t' fè konte moun ki pa t' ankò gen ventan sou tèt yo, paske Seyè a te pwomèt li t'ap fè pèp Izrayèl la peple pou yo te rive menm kantite ak zetwal nan syèl la.
24 Joab, pitit gason Sewouya a, te konmanse ap konte moun nan pèp la, men li pa t' fin fè l' paske sa te lakòz Bondye te fache sou pèp la. Se konsa yo pa mete nan liv Istwa wa David la kantite moun yo te jwenn.
25 Se Azmavèt, pitit gason Adiyèl la, ki te reskonsab trezò wa a. Se Jonatan, pitit Ozyas la, ki te reskonsab tout depo ki te nan jaden, nan lavil, nan ti bouk ak sou fwontyè yo.
26 Se Ezri, pitit gason Keloub la, ki te reskonsab tout moun ki t'ap okipe jaden wa a.
27 Se Chimeyi, moun lavil Rama, ki te reskonsab tout jaden rezen yo. Se Zabdi, moun lavil Chefam ki te reskonsab tout depo diven yo te fè ak rezen yo te ranmase nan jaden yo.
28 Se Baal anan, moun lavil Gedè, ki te reskonsab tout pye oliv ak pye sikomò ki te nan basrak yo. Se Joach ki te reskonsab depo lwil yo.
29 Se Chitrayi, moun Sawon, ki te reskonsab tout bèf yo t'ap gade nan zòn Sawon an. Se Chafat, pitit gason Adlayi, ki te reskonsab bèf yo t'ap gade nan fon yo.
30 Se Obil, moun fanmi Izmayèl yo, ki te reskonsab chamo yo. Se Jekdeja, moun lavil Mewonòt, ki te reskonsab fenmèl bourik yo.
31 Se Jazis, moun peyi Aga, ki te reskonsab mouton ak kabrit yo. Se tout moun sa yo ki te jeran tout byen wa David yo.
32 Jonatan, tonton David, te yon konseye. Se te yon moun lespri ki te fò anpil. Jekiyèl, pitit Akmoni, te reskonsab levasyon tout pitit gason wa a.
33 Akitofèl te konseye wa a tou. Ouzayi, moun peyi Ak, te bon zanmi wa a.
34 Lè Akitofèl mouri, se Abyata ak Jeojada, pitit Benaja, ki vin konseye wa a. Joab te kòmandan lame wa a.

Nethanel the fifth,
5 Ammiel the sixth,
Issachar the seventh
and Peullethai the eighth.
(For God had blessed Obed-Edom.(R))
6 Obed-Edom’s son Shemaiah also had sons, who were leaders in their father’s family because they were very capable men. 7 The sons of Shemaiah: Othni, Rephael, Obed and Elzabad; his relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also able men. 8 All these were descendants of Obed-Edom; they and their sons and their relatives were capable men with the strength to do the work—descendants of Obed-Edom, 62 in all.
9 Meshelemiah had sons and relatives, who were able men—18 in all.
10 Hosah the Merarite had sons: Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father had appointed him the first),(S) 11 Hilkiah the second, Tabaliah the third and Zechariah the fourth. The sons and relatives of Hosah were 13 in all.
12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, through their leaders, had duties for ministering(T) in the temple of the Lord, just as their relatives had. 13 Lots(U) were cast for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike.
14 The lot for the East Gate(V) fell to Shelemiah.[g] Then lots were cast for his son Zechariah,(W) a wise counselor, and the lot for the North Gate fell to him. 15 The lot for the South Gate fell to Obed-Edom,(X) and the lot for the storehouse fell to his sons. 16 The lots for the West Gate and the Shalleketh Gate on the upper road fell to Shuppim and Hosah.
Guard was alongside of guard: 17 There were six Levites a day on the east, four a day on the north, four a day on the south and two at a time at the storehouse. 18 As for the court[h] to the west, there were four at the road and two at the court[i] itself.
19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah and Merari.(Y)
The Treasurers and Other Officials
20 Their fellow Levites(Z) were[j] in charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries for the dedicated things.(AA)
21 The descendants of Ladan, who were Gershonites through Ladan and who were heads of families belonging to Ladan the Gershonite,(AB) were Jehieli, 22 the sons of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the treasuries(AC) of the temple of the Lord.
23 From the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites and the Uzzielites:(AD)
24 Shubael,(AE) a descendant of Gershom son of Moses, was the official in charge of the treasuries. 25 His relatives through Eliezer: Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zikri his son and Shelomith(AF) his son. 26 Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of all the treasuries for the things dedicated(AG) by King David, by the heads of families who were the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and by the other army commanders. 27 Some of the plunder taken in battle they dedicated for the repair of the temple of the Lord. 28 And everything dedicated by Samuel the seer(AH) and by Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner and Joab son of Zeruiah, and all the other dedicated things were in the care of Shelomith and his relatives.
29 From the Izharites: Kenaniah and his sons were assigned duties away from the temple, as officials and judges(AI) over Israel.
30 From the Hebronites: Hashabiah(AJ) and his relatives—seventeen hundred able men—were responsible in Israel west of the Jordan for all the work of the Lord and for the king’s service. 31 As for the Hebronites,(AK) Jeriah was their chief according to the genealogical records of their families. In the fortieth(AL) year of David’s reign a search was made in the records, and capable men among the Hebronites were found at Jazer in Gilead. 32 Jeriah had twenty-seven hundred relatives, who were able men and heads of families, and King David put them in charge of the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh for every matter pertaining to God and for the affairs of the king.
Army Divisions
27 This is the list of the Israelites—heads of families, commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and their officers, who served the king in all that concerned the army divisions that were on duty month by month throughout the year. Each division consisted of 24,000 men.
2 In charge of the first division, for the first month, was Jashobeam(AM) son of Zabdiel. There were 24,000 men in his division. 3 He was a descendant of Perez and chief of all the army officers for the first month.

Leaders of the Tribes
16 The leaders of the tribes of Israel:

over Benjamin: Jaasiel son of Abner;
22 over Dan: Azarel son of Jeroham.
These were the leaders of the tribes of Israel.
23 David did not take the number of the men twenty years old or less,(BB) because the Lord had promised to make Israel as numerous as the stars(BC) in the sky. 24 Joab son of Zeruiah began to count the men but did not finish. God’s wrath came on Israel on account of this numbering,(BD) and the number was not entered in the book[k] of the annals of King David.
