denn die Leviten verließen ihre Vorstädte und Habe und kamen zu Juda gen Jerusalem. Denn Jerobeam und seine Söhne verstießen sie, daß sie vor dem HERRN nicht des Priesteramtes pflegen konnten.

car les Lévites abandonnèrent leurs banlieues et leurs propriétés et vinrent en Juda et à Jérusalem, parce que Jéroboam et ses fils les empêchèrent de remplir leurs fonctions comme sacrificateurs de l'Eternel.

Porque os levitas deixaram os seus arrabaldes, e a sua possessão, e vieram a Judá e a Jerusalém, porque Jeroboão e seus filhos os lançaram fora para que não ministrassem ao SENHOR.
