1 Chronicles 23
1 Then David, being old and full of days, appointed his son Solomon as 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 leaders of Israel, with the priests as well as the Levites.
Aman Isreal gam a lengte, thempuho chule Levi mite akhom in ahi
3 And the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward. And there were found thirty-eight thousand men.
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 chosen and distributed to the ministry of the house of the Lord. Then six thousand were overseers 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 Moreover, four thousand were porters. And the same number were the singers of psalms to the Lord, with the musical instruments which he had made for the music.
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 distributed them into courses according to the sons of Levi, specifically, Gershom, and Kohath, and Merari.
Chuin David chu Levi chate Gershon, kohath le Merari min in akhen kit in ahi.
7 The sons of Gershom: Ladan and Shimei.
Gershon mite hochu Laaadan le Shimei ahi
8 The sons of Ladan: the leader Jahiel, 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 leaders of the families of Ladan.
Shimei chate chu Shelomith leh Heziel le Haran ahi. Amaho hi Laadan insunga mi upa ho ahiuve
10 Then the sons of Shimei: Jahath, and Zizah, and Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei, four.
Chule Shimei chate chu Jahath, Ziza, Zeush chule Beriah. Amaho li hi Shimei chate ahiuve.
11 Now Jahath was first, Zizah second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, and for this reason they were reckoned as one family and one house.
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 and 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. Now Aaron was separated so that he might minister in the Holy of Holies, he and his sons forever, and so that he might burn incense to the Lord, according to his rite, and so that he might bless his name in perpetuity.
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 The sons of Moses, the man of God, were also numbered in 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 first.
Gershom chapa telah a chun Shebul chu ana haosa lamkaiyin ahi,
17 Now the sons of Eliezer were Rehabiah the first. And there were no other sons for Eliezer. But the sons of Rehabiah were multiplied exceedingly.
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 first.
Izhar chapa te lah a Shalomith chu ana haosa lamkaiyin ahi.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, 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 first, 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 Then Eleazar died, and had no sons, but only daughters. And so the sons of Kish, their brothers, married them.
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 are the sons of Levi, in their kindred and families, leaders in turns, and the number of each of the heads who were doing the works of the ministry of the house of the Lord, from twenty years of age 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: “The Lord, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people, and a habitation in Jerusalem even unto eternity.
Chuin David in, Isreal Pathen chun amite cholngah sah in chule atonsot a Jerusalem a cheng ding ahi.
26 Neither shall it be the office of the Levites any more to carry the tabernacle with all its equipment for use in the ministry.”
Pathen houbuh a kimang le athil ho chengse jong Levi ten anungpoh kit lou diu ahitai.
27 Also, according to the last precepts of David, the sons of Levi shall be counted by number from twenty years of age and upward.
David hilchah na achainapen dungjui in, Levi techu kum somni a tah le achunglam apat kisim pan ahi.
28 And they shall be under the hand of the sons of Aaron, in the care of the house of the Lord, in the vestibule, 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.
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 But the priests shall be over the bread of the presence, and the sacrifice of fine wheat flour, and the unleavened cakes, and the frying pan, and the roasting, and over every weight and measure.
Dokhanga changlhah luidoh ding, todoh ding changbong ho chule ajat alet aneo dungjui a haltoh ding chengse jong avettup diu ahi.
30 Yet truly, the Levites shall stand to confess and to sing to the Lord, in the morning, and similarly in the evening,
Jingkah seh le ding uva Pathena vahchoi dingu ahi. Nilhah le angaima banga abol kit diu ahi.
31 as much in the oblation of the holocausts of the Lord, as in the Sabbaths and new moons and other solemnities, according to the number and ceremonies for each and every matter, perpetually before the Lord.
Chule amahon Sabbath nikho le Lhathah nikho a Pakai anga thilto abol teng ule amijat ana ngaichat dungjui a abol diu ahi.
32 And let them keep the observances of the tabernacle of the covenant, and the rituals of the sanctuary, and the observance of the sons of Aaron, their brothers, so that they may minister in the house of the Lord.
Hiti chun Leviten ten ponbuh a kinbol hihen muntheng kibol hihen, asopiu Aaron chapate chu Pakai kibol na’a akithopi jing diu ahi.
