1 Chronicles 23
1 And David was old and satisfied with days, and he causes his son Solomon to reign over Israel,
Chuin David ahung teh in, akum atamphat in achapa Solomon chu Isrealte lengpan apansah tai
2 and gathers all the heads of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites;
Aman Isreal gam a lengte, thempuho chule Levi mite akhom in ahi
3 and the Levites are numbered from a son of thirty years and upward, and their number, for their counted heads, is of thirty-eight thousand mighty 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 [are] to preside over the work of the house of YHWH, and six thousand officers 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 and four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to YHWH, “with instruments that I made for praising,” [says David.]
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 distributes them into divisions of the sons of Levi—of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Chuin David chu Levi chate Gershon, kohath le Merari min in akhen kit in ahi.
7 Of the Gershonite: Laadan and Shimei.

10 And sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah; these [are] the four sons of Shimei.
Chule Shimei chate chu Jahath, Ziza, Zeush chule Beriah. Amaho li hi Shimei chate ahiuve.
11 And Jahath is the head, and Zizah the second, and Jeush and Beriah have not multiplied sons, and they become the house of a father by one numbering.
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 Sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four.
Kohath hin chapa li ana hingin amahochu; Amran, Izahar, Hebron chule Uzziel ana hiuve.
13 Sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron is separated for his sanctifying the Holy of Holies, he and his sons, for all time, to make incense before YHWH, to serve Him, and to bless in His Name for all time.
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 As for Moses, the man of God, his sons are called after the tribe of Levi.

24 These [are] sons of Levi, by the house of their fathers, heads of the fathers, by their appointments, in the number of names, by their counted heads, doing the work for the service of the house of YHWH, from a son of twenty years 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, “YHWH, God of Israel, has given rest to His people, and He dwells in Jerusalem for all time”;
Chuin David in, Isreal Pathen chun amite cholngah sah in chule atonsot a Jerusalem a cheng ding ahi.
26 and also of the Levites, “None [are] to carry the Dwelling Place and all its vessels for its service”;
Pathen houbuh a kimang le athil ho chengse jong Levi ten anungpoh kit lou diu ahitai.
27 for by the last words of David they [took] the number of the sons of Levi from a son of twenty years and upward,
David hilchah na achainapen dungjui in, Levi techu kum somni a tah le achunglam apat kisim pan ahi.
28 for their station [is] at the side of the sons of Aaron, for the service of the house of YHWH, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the cleansing of every holy thing, and the work of the service of the house of God,
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 and for the bread of the arrangement, and for fine flour for present, and for the thin unleavened cakes, and for [the work of] the pan, and for that which is stirred, and for all [liquid] measure and [solid] measure;
Dokhanga changlhah luidoh ding, todoh ding changbong ho chule ajat alet aneo dungjui a haltoh ding chengse jong avettup diu ahi.
30 and to stand, morning by morning, to give thanks, and to give praise to YHWH, and so at evening;
Jingkah seh le ding uva Pathena vahchoi dingu ahi. Nilhah le angaima banga abol kit diu ahi.
31 and for all the burnt-offerings—burnt-offerings to YHWH for Sabbaths, for new moons, and for appointed times, by number, according to the ordinance on them continually, before YHWH.
Chule amahon Sabbath nikho le Lhathah nikho a Pakai anga thilto abol teng ule amijat ana ngaichat dungjui a abol diu ahi.
32 And they have kept the charge of the Tent of Meeting, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of their brothers, the sons of Aaron, for the service of the house of YHWH.
Hiti chun Leviten ten ponbuh a kinbol hihen muntheng kibol hihen, asopiu Aaron chapate chu Pakai kibol na’a akithopi jing diu ahi.
