1 Chronicles 23
1 Now David was old and full of days, and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
Devit teh a matawng toung dawkvah, a capa Solomon teh Isarel siangpahrang lah a sak awh.
2 And he gathered together all the rulers of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
Isarel kahrawikungnaw pueng hoi vaihmanaw, Levihnaw hah koung a kamkhueng sak.
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.
Levihnaw teh kum 30 touh hoi lathueng e naw hah touk e lah ao teh, tongpa 38, 000 a pha.
4 Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Jehovah. And six thousand were officers and judges,
Hotnaw thung dawk hoi 24, 000 teh BAWIPA e im ka sak hane naw hoi ka ring hane naw lah ao awh teh, 6000 teh kahrawikungnaw hoi lawkcengkungnaw lah ao awh.
5 and four thousand were porters, and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made, David said, to praise therewith.
Hahoi 4000 teh, longkha karingkungnaw lah ao awh. Alouke 4000 teh pholennae koe tumkhawng hanelah ka sak e naw, Devit ni a sak e hah a hno awh teh, BAWIPA kapholennaw lah ao awh.
6 And David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Levih e capanaw thung dawk hoi a hu louklouk lah a kâkapek awh. Gershon casaknaw Kohath hoi Merari.
7 Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
Gershonnaw teh Ladan hoi Shimei.
8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
Ladan casaknaw teh Jehiel, Zetham hoi Joel, abuemlah kathum touh a pha awh.
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers of Ladan.

10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
Shimei casaknaw teh Jahath, Zina, Jeush hoi Beriah. Hetnaw pali touh teh Shimei casaknaw doeh.
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.
Jahath teh kacuepoung lah ao. Zizah teh apâhni e lah ao. Jeush hoi Beriah teh ca pung awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, imthung buet touh e patetlah a pouk awh.
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
Kohath casaknaw teh Amram, Izhar, Hebron, Uzziel hoi pali touh a pha awh.
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.
Amram casaknaw teh Aron hoi Mosi doeh. Aron hoi a catounnaw teh, yungyoe hanelah kathounge hnonaw hah thoung sak hane, BAWIPA hmalah hmuitui sawi e thaw hah tawk vaiteh, amae min lah hoi yawhawi ka poe hanelah aloukcalah kapek e lah ao.
14 But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
Cathut e tami Mosi e capanaw teh Levih miphun dawk hmai touksin e lah ao.
15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Mosi casak teh Gershom hoi Eliezer.
16 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.
Gershom casak thung dawk hoi kacuepoung e teh Shubael doeh.
17 And the sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
Eliezer casak lah kaawm e thung hoi kacuepoung e Rehabiah doeh. Eliezer ni ca tongpa alouke tawn hoeh. Hateiteh, Rehabiah casak teh moi a pung awh.
18 The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.

21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Merari casak teh Mahli hoi Mushi, Mahli casak teh Eleazar hoi Kish.
22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only. And their brothers the sons of Kish took them to wife.
Eleazar teh ca tongpa tawn hoeh. Napui dueng doeh a tawn. Kish e capanaw ni ahnimouh teh yu lah a la awh.
23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
Mushi casaknaw teh Mahli, Eder, Jerimoth hoi kathum touh a pha awh.
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.
Hetnaw teh Levih capanaw dawk a imthung lah hoi touk awh e dawk, imthungnaw kahrawikung BAWIPA im sak hanelah kum 20 lathueng e thaw katawknaw lah ao awh.
25 For David said, Jehovah, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people, and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Devit ni Jerusalem vah yungyoe kho a sak thai nahane Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni a taminaw hah karoumcalah o thai nahan a poe e doeh.
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.
Levihnaw ni hai lukkareiim hoi a thaw tawk nahanelah puengcangnaw kâkayawt hanelah ngai mahoeh toe, telah a ti.
27 For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Devit ni kâpoe e ao dawkvah, Levihnaw kum 20 lathueng hah touk e lah ao awh.
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
Hatdawkvah, Levihnaw teh Cathut e im dawk thaw ka tawk e Aron e capanaw thaw kabawp hane, longkha thung e, im khan thung e, kathounge hno pueng thoung sak hane, BAWIPA e im dawk thaw ka tawk e lah ao awh.
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.
Pâtoum hane vaiyei hoi tavai, thueng nahane tavai kanui e, tonphuenhoehe ka rapamca e, hmai pahai e thoseh, karê e thoseh, kathoung kalen pueng hai ao.
30 And to stand every morning to thank and praise Jehovah, and likewise at evening.
Amom tangminlah hnintangkuem BAWIPA koe lunghawi lawk dei hanelah ao awh.
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.
Sabbath hnin thoseh, thaparei hnin thoseh, pawi hnin thoseh, sak hane patetlah BAWIPA koe thuengnae pueng poe hanelah thaw katawknaw lah ao awh.
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.
Hahoi, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim ka ring hane hoi, hmuen kathoung ka ring hane hoi, BAWIPA im dawk thaw ka tawk hane hmaunawngha Aron e capanaw ni sak hane pueng teh ahnimae thaw lah ao.
