1 Chronicles 23
1 And 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 princes 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 preside over 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 doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made, [said David, ] 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 courses 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: Laadan and Shimei.
Gershonnaw teh Ladan hoi Shimei.
8 The sons of Laadan: the head was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
Ladan casaknaw teh Jehiel, Zetham hoi Joel, abuemlah kathum touh a pha awh.
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief fathers of Laadan.
Shimei casaknaw teh Shelomith hoi Haziel, Haran hoi abuemlah kathum touh a pha awh. Hetnaw teh Ladan catoun imthung kahrawikung lah ao awh.
10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Ziza, and Jeush, and Beriah. These were the four sons of Shimei.
Shimei casaknaw teh Jahath, Zina, Jeush hoi Beriah. Hetnaw pali touh teh Shimei casaknaw doeh.
11 And Jahath was the head, and Ziza the second; and Jeush and Beriah had not many sons: as father's house, therefore, they were reckoned as one.
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, Jizhar, 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 be hallowed as most holy, he and his sons for ever, to offer before Jehovah, to do service to him, and to bless in his name for ever.
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 — And as to Moses the man of God, his sons were named of 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 head.
Gershom casak thung dawk hoi kacuepoung e teh Shubael doeh.
17 And the sons of Eliezer: Rehabiah the head; 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 Jizhar: Shelomith the head.
Izhar casak thung dawk hoi kacuepoung e teh Shelomith doeh.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the head, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Hebron casaknaw thung dawk hoi kacuepoung e teh Jeriah doeh. Apâhni e teh Amariah doeh. Apâthum e teh Jahaziel doeh. Apali e teh Jekameam doeh.
20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah the head, and Jishijah the second.
Uzziel casak dawk hoi kacuepoung e teh Mikah, apâhni e teh Isshiah doeh.
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; and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
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 according to their fathers' houses, the chief fathers, as they were reckoned, by number of names by their polls, who did the work of 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 will dwell in Jerusalem for ever;
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 the Levites also have no more to carry the tabernacle, nor any of its vessels for its service.
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 was this [done], — the numbering of the sons of Levi 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 place was by the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Jehovah, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purifying of all holy things, and [for] the work of the service of the house of God;
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 and for the loaves to be set in rows, and for the fine flour for the oblation, and for the unleavened cakes, and for [what is baked in] the pan, and for that which is saturated [with oil], and for all measure of capacity 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 even;
Amom tangminlah hnintangkuem BAWIPA koe lunghawi lawk dei hanelah ao awh.
31 and for all burnt-offerings offered up to Jehovah on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, by 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 they kept the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in 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.
