1 Chronicles 23
1 And David being old and full of days, 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, and the priests and Levites.
Isarel kahrawikungnaw pueng hoi vaihmanaw, Levihnaw hah koung a kamkhueng sak.
3 And the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years, and upwards: and there were found of them thirty-eight thousand men.
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 chosen, and distributed unto the ministry of the house of the Lord: and six thousand were the overseers 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 Moreover four thousand were porters: and as many singers singing to the Lord with the instruments, which he had made to sing with.
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 distributed them into courses by the families of the sons of Levi, to wit, of Gerson, and of Caath, and of Merari.
Levih e capanaw thung dawk hoi a hu louklouk lah a kâkapek awh. Gershon casaknaw Kohath hoi Merari.
7 The sons of Gerson were Leedan and Semei.
Gershonnaw teh Ladan hoi Shimei.
8 The sons of Leedan: the chief Jahiel, and Zethan, and Joel, three.
Ladan casaknaw teh Jehiel, Zetham hoi Joel, abuemlah kathum touh a pha awh.
9 The sons of Semei: Salomith, and Hosiel, and Aran, three: these were the heads of the families of Leedan.
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 Semei were Leheth, and Ziza, and Jaus, and Baria: these were the sons of Semei, four.
Shimei casaknaw teh Jahath, Zina, Jeush hoi Beriah. Hetnaw pali touh teh Shimei casaknaw doeh.
11 And Leheth was the first, Ziza the second: but Jaus and Baria had not many children, and therefore they were counted in one family, and in one house.
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 Caath were Amram, and Isaar, Hebron, and Oziel, 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 to minister in the holy of holies, he and his sons for ever, and to burn incense before the Lord, according to his ceremonies, and to bless 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 The sons also of Moses, the man of God, were numbered in the tribe of Levi.
Cathut e tami Mosi e capanaw teh Levih miphun dawk hmai touksin e lah ao.
15 The sons of Moses were Gersom and Eliezer:
Mosi casak teh Gershom hoi Eliezer.
16 The sons of Gersom: Subuel the first.
Gershom casak thung dawk hoi kacuepoung e teh Shubael doeh.
17 And the sons of Eliezer were: Rohobia the first: and Eliezer had no more sons. But the sons of Rohobia were multiplied exceedingly.
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 Isaar: Salomith the first.
Izhar casak thung dawk hoi kacuepoung e teh Shelomith doeh.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriau the first, Amarias the second, Jahaziel the third, Jecmaam 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 Oziel: Micha the first, Jesia the second.
Uzziel casak dawk hoi kacuepoung e teh Mikah, apâhni e teh Isshiah doeh.
21 The sons of Merari: Moholi, and Musi. The sons of Moholi: Eleazar and Cia.
Merari casak teh Mahli hoi Mushi, Mahli casak teh Eleazar hoi Kish.
22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons but daughters: and the sons of Cis their brethren 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 Musi: Moholi, and Eder, and Jerimoth, three.
Mushi casaknaw teh Mahli, Eder, Jerimoth hoi kathum touh a pha awh.
24 These are the sons of Levi in their kindreds and families, princes by their courses, and the number of every head that did the works of the ministry of the house of the Lord 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: The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest to his people, and a habitation 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 it shall not be the office of the Levites to carry any more the tabernacle, and all the vessels for the service thereof.
Levihnaw ni hai lukkareiim hoi a thaw tawk nahanelah puengcangnaw kâkayawt hanelah ngai mahoeh toe, telah a ti.
27 So according to the last precepts of David, the sons of Levi are to be 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 And they are to be under the hand of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the porches, 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.
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 the priests have the charge of the leaves of proposition, and of the sacrifice of fine flour, and of the unleavened cakes, and of the fryingpan, and of the roasting, and of every weight and measure.
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 the Levites are to stand in the morning to give thanks, and to sing praises to the Lord: and in like manner in the evening,
Amom tangminlah hnintangkuem BAWIPA koe lunghawi lawk dei hanelah ao awh.
31 As well in the oblation of the holocausts of the Lord, as in the sabbaths and in the new moons, and the rest of the solemnities, according to the number and ceremonies prescribed for every thing, continually before the Lord.
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 let them keep the observances of the tabernacle of the covenant, and the ceremonies of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, that they may minister in the house of the Lord.
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.
