1 Chronicles 23
1 Now David was old and full of days, and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
Chuin David ahung teh in, akum atamphat in achapa Solomon chu Isrealte lengpan apansah tai
2 And he gathered together all the rulers of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
Aman Isreal gam a lengte, thempuho chule Levi mite akhom in ahi
3 And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward. And their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
Levite chu kum somthum apat chunglam se chu khat khat in akisim un, pasal mi sangsom thumle get alhing ui.
4 Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Jehovah. And six thousand were officers and judges,
Hinlah mi sang somni le sang li chu Pathen houin sunga naa atoh sah in, chule mi sang gup chu alamkai le thutan vaihom dingin apansah tai.
5 and four thousand were porters, and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made, David said, to praise therewith.
Chukitle mi sangli chu kot ngah din akoi in, mi sangli ma chu aman apeh tumging ho mangchan Pathen vahchoi jing dingin umhen tin David in aseije.
6 And David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Chuin David chu Levi chate Gershon, kohath le Merari min in akhen kit in ahi.
7 Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
Gershon mite hochu Laaadan le Shimei ahi
8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
Laadan chate chu Jehiel le Zatham le Joel agom a thum
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers of Ladan.
Shimei chate chu Shelomith leh Heziel le Haran ahi. Amaho hi Laadan insunga mi upa ho ahiuve
10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
Chule Shimei chate chu Jahath, Ziza, Zeush chule Beriah. Amaho li hi Shimei chate ahiuve.
11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second. But Jeush and Beriah had not many sons. Therefore they became a fathers' house in one reckoning.
Chule Jahath chu Haosa lamkai ana hin, Zizah chu ani channa anahi, amavang Jeush chule Beriah teni hin chapa tampi ana hing lhon lou jeh in pakhat insung in akisim tai.
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
Kohath hin chapa li ana hingin amahochu; Amran, Izahar, Hebron chule Uzziel ana hiuve.
13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was separated that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, forever, to burn incense before Jehovah, to minister to him, and to bless in his name, forever.
Amaram cha Pasal teni chu Aaron chule Mose ana hi. Aaron hin Pathen a dingin pumgo thilto ana lhantheng jing thei nadia chule ama achapaten atonsot a Pathen anga thilto gimnamtwi ana hal jing uva; ama lenggam a dinga akipehdoh jing uva, chule ama minna phatthei achan jing thei nadiuvin, asopipa toh ana ki sukhen in ahi.
14 But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
Mose hi Pathen mipan ana kisim in ahi. Achapa techu Levi chilhah noiya ana ki minvon ahi.
15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Mose chapa techu Gershom chule Eleizer ana hi hone.
16 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.
Gershom chapa telah a chun Shebul chu ana haosa lamkaiyin ahi,
17 And the sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
Chule Eleizer chapate lah a Rehabiah chu ana Haosa lamkaiyin ahi. Eleizer hin chapa dang ana hingpon ahi, amavang Rehabia hin chapa tampi ana hing in ahi.
18 The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.
Izhar chapa te lah a Shalomith chu ana haosa lamkaiyin ahi.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Hebron chapate lah a Jeriah chu ana tah pen in ahi, Amariah chu anina an hin, Jahaziel chu athumna chule Jekameam chu ali channa ana hi.
20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
Uzziel chapate lah a Micah chu atahpen in chule Issiah chu ani channa ana hi.
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Merari Chate ho chu Mahli le Mushi ahin Mahli chapate chu Mahli, Eleazer le Kish ahiuve.
22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only. And their brothers the sons of Kish took them to wife.
Chapa neilouva Eleazar thi chule chanu bou anei in ahi. Chule asopi Kish chapaten achanu te akichen pin ahi.
23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
Mushi Chateho chu Athum uvin- Mahli, Eder chule Jeremoth ho ahiuve
24 These were the sons of Levi after their fathers' houses, even the heads of the fathers of those of them that were counted, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the house of Jehovah, from twenty years old and upward.
Hichengse hi Levi insungmi le ason apah ho chengse ahiuve- amin kikhumlut dungjui in insung lamkai ho chengse jong achangseh'in akisim in ahi
25 For David said, Jehovah, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people, and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
Chuin David in, Isreal Pathen chun amite cholngah sah in chule atonsot a Jerusalem a cheng ding ahi.
26 And also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the tabernacle and all the vessels of it for the service of it.
Pathen houbuh a kimang le athil ho chengse jong Levi ten anungpoh kit lou diu ahitai.
27 For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward.
David hilchah na achainapen dungjui in, Levi techu kum somni a tah le achunglam apat kisim pan ahi.
28 For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Jehovah, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of the house of God, also
Levi techun Pathen houbuh a Aaron chapate akithopiuva, indan ho sutheng le ding, thil thengho koitup ding chule Pathen houbuh a natoh chengse vetup ding ahiuve.
29 for the showbread, and for the fine flour for a meal offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all manner of measure and size.
Dokhanga changlhah luidoh ding, todoh ding changbong ho chule ajat alet aneo dungjui a haltoh ding chengse jong avettup diu ahi.
30 And to stand every morning to thank and praise Jehovah, and likewise at evening.
Jingkah seh le ding uva Pathena vahchoi dingu ahi. Nilhah le angaima banga abol kit diu ahi.
31 And to offer all burnt offerings to Jehovah, on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Jehovah.
Chule amahon Sabbath nikho le Lhathah nikho a Pakai anga thilto abol teng ule amijat ana ngaichat dungjui a abol diu ahi.
32 And that they should keep the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the service of the house of Jehovah.
Hiti chun Leviten ten ponbuh a kinbol hihen muntheng kibol hihen, asopiu Aaron chapate chu Pakai kibol na’a akithopi jing diu ahi.
