1 Igitur David senex et plenus dierum regem constituit Sa lomonem filium suum super Israel1 And David being old and full of days, made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 et congregavit omnes principes Israel et sacerdotes atque Levitas.
2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, and the priests and Levites.
3 Numeratique sunt Levitae a triginta annis et supra, et inventa sunt triginta octo milia virorum.3 And the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years, and upwards: and there were found of them thirty-eight thousand men.
4 “ Ex his, inquit, praesint ministerio domus Domini viginti quattuor milia, praepositi autem et iudices sex milia;4 Of these twenty-four thousand were chosen, and distributed unto the ministry of the house of the Lord: and six thousand were the overseers and judges.
5 porro quattuor milia ianitores et totidem psaltae canentes Domino in organis, quae feci ad canendum ”.
5 Moreover four thousand were porters: and as many singers singing to the Lord with the instruments, which he had made to sing with.
6 Et distribuit eos David per vices filiorum Levi Gerson videlicet et Caath et Merari.
6 And David distributed them into courses by the families of the sons of Levi, to wit, of Gerson, and of Caath, and of Merari.

8 Filii Ladan: princeps Iahiel et Zetham et Ioel, tres.8 The sons of Leedan: the chief Jahiel, and Zethan, and Joel, three.

10 Porro filii Semei: Iahath et Ziza et Iehus et Beria; isti filii Semei, quattuor.10 And the sons of Semei were Leheth, and Ziza, and Jaus, and Baria: these were the sons of Semei, four.
11 Erat autem Iahath prior, Ziza secundus; porro Iehus et Beria non habuerunt plurimos filios, et idcirco in una familia unaque domo computati sunt.
11 And Leheth was the first, Ziza the second: but Jaus and Baria had not many children, and therefore they were counted in one family, and in one house.
12 Filii Caath: Amram et Isaar, Hebron et Oziel, quattuor.12 The sons of Caath were Amram, and Isaar, Hebron, and Oziel, four.
13 Filii Amram: Aaron et Moyses. Separatusque est Aaron, ut sanctificaret sanctissima, ipse et filii eius in sempiternum, et adoleret Domino et serviret ei ac benediceret in nomine eius in perpetuum.13 The sons of Amram, Aaron, and Moses. And Aaron was separated to minister in the holy of holies, he and his sons for ever, and to burn incense before the Lord, according to his ceremonies, and to bless his name for ever.
14 Moysi quoque hominis Dei filii annumerati sunt in tribu Levi.14 The sons also of Moses, the man of God, were numbered in the tribe of Levi.
15 Filii Moysi: Gersam et Eliezer.15 The sons of Moses were Gersom and Eliezer:
16 Filii Gersam: Subael primus.16 The sons of Gersom: Subuel the first.
17 Fuerunt autem filii Eliezer: Rohobia primus, et non erant Eliezer filii alii; porro filii Rohobia multiplicati sunt nimis.17 And the sons of Eliezer were: Rohobia the first: and Eliezer had no more sons. But the sons of Rohobia were multiplied exceedingly.

21 Filii Merari: Moholi et Musi. Filii Moholi: Eleazar et Cis;21 The sons of Merari: Moholi, and Musi. The sons of Moholi: Eleazar and Cia.
22 mortuus est autem Eleazar et non habuit filios sed filias acceperuntque eas filii Cis fratres earum.22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons but daughters: and the sons of Cis their brethren took them.
23 Filii Musi: Moholi et Eder et Ierimoth, tres.
23 The sons of Musi: Moholi, and Eder, and Jerimoth, three.

26 nec erit officii Levitarum, ut ultra portent tabernaculum et omnia vasa eius ad ministrandum.26 And it shall not be the office of the Levites to carry any more the tabernacle, and all the vessels for the service thereof.
27 Iuxta praecepta igitur David novissima, supputabitur numerus filiorum Levi a viginti annis et supra,27 So according to the last precepts of David, the sons of Levi are to be numbered from twenty years old and upward.
28 et erunt sub manu filiorum Aaron in cultum domus Domini pro atriis et exedris et in purificationem omnis rei sacrae et in ministerium templi Dei,28 And they are to be under the hand of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the porches, 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.
29 pro panibus propositionis et farina oblationis et laganis azymorum et pro sartagine et ad torrendum et super omne pondus atque mensuram.29 And the priests have the charge of the leaves of proposition, and of the sacrifice of fine flour, and of the unleavened cakes, and of the fryingpan, and of the roasting, and of every weight and measure.
30 Et stent mane ad confitendum et canendum Domino similiterque ad vesperam,30 And the Levites are to stand in the morning to give thanks, and to sing praises to the Lord: and in like manner in the evening,
31 tam in oblatione holocaustorum Domini quam in sabbatis et calendis et sollemnitatibus reliquis, iuxta numerum et caeremonias uniuscuiusque rei iugiter coram Domino.31 As well in the oblation of the holocausts of the Lord, as in the sabbaths and in the new moons, and the rest of the solemnities, according to the number and ceremonies prescribed for every thing, continually before the Lord.
