1 Chronicles 23
1 And when David was old and full of days, 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 then were numbered the Levites from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, of men, was thirty and 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 were twenty and four thousand to superintend the work of the house of the Lord; 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 gatekeepers: and four thousand those who praised the Lord with the instruments which I have made, 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 after the sons of Levi, after Gershon, Kehath, and Merari.
Levih e capanaw thung dawk hoi a hu louklouk lah a kâkapek awh. Gershon casaknaw Kohath hoi Merari.
7 Of the Gershunites: La'dan, and Shim'i.
Gershonnaw teh Ladan hoi Shimei.
8 The sons of La'dan: The chief was Jechiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
Ladan casaknaw teh Jehiel, Zetham hoi Joel, abuemlah kathum touh a pha awh.
9 The sons of Shim'i: Shelomith, and Chaziel, and Haran, three. These were the chiefs of the families of La'dan.
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 Shim'i were, Jachath, Zina, and Je'ush, and Beri'ah. These four were the sons of Shim'i.
Shimei casaknaw teh Jahath, Zina, Jeush hoi Beriah. Hetnaw pali touh teh Shimei casaknaw doeh.
11 And Jachath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Je'ush and Beri'ah had not many sons: therefore were they accounted as one family division in the numbering.
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 Kehath: 'Amram, Yizhar, 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 set apart, to sanctify him as most holy, he with his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister unto 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 But as regardeth Moses the man of God, his sons were named after 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, Gershom, and Eli'ezer.
Mosi casak teh Gershom hoi Eliezer.
16 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
Gershom casak thung dawk hoi kacuepoung e teh Shubael doeh.
17 And the sons of Eli'ezer were, Rechahyah the chief. And Eli'ezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rechahyah became exceedingly numerous.
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 Of the sons of Yizhar, was Shelomith the chief.
Izhar casak thung dawk hoi kacuepoung e teh Shelomith doeh.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriyahu the chief, Amaryah the second, Jachaziel the third, and Jekam'am 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: Michah the chief, and Yishiyah the second.
Uzziel casak dawk hoi kacuepoung e teh Mikah, apâhni e teh Isshiah doeh.
21 The sons of Merari: Machli, and Mushi. The sons of Machli: El'azar, and Kish.
Merari casak teh Mahli hoi Mushi, Mahli casak teh Eleazar hoi Kish.
22 And El'azar died, and had no sons, but daughters; and the sons of Kish, their brethren, took them [for wives].
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: Machli, 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 family divisions, even the chiefs of the families, as they were counted by numbering the names after their polls, that did the work for the service 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 unto his people, and he dwelleth in Jerusalem for evermore.
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 are no more bound to carry the tabernacle, and all its vessels for the service thereof.
Levihnaw ni hai lukkareiim hoi a thaw tawk nahanelah puengcangnaw kâkayawt hanelah ngai mahoeh toe, telah a ti.
27 Therefore by the last words of David were there numbered of the Levites those who were from twenty years old and above;
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Devit ni kâpoe e ao dawkvah, Levihnaw kum 20 lathueng hah touk e lah ao awh.
28 Because their station was to be at the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the courts, and in the chambers, and by the purification of all holy things, and 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 shew-bread, which was put in rows, and for the fine flour for meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is sodden, and for all manner of dry and wet 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 to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and so also at evening,
Amom tangminlah hnintangkuem BAWIPA koe lunghawi lawk dei hanelah ao awh.
31 And at all the offering of burnt-offerings unto the Lord on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the appointed feasts, according to the number, and after the manner prescribed for them, 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 that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of 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.
