1 Chronicles 24
1 These are the groups of the descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest]: Aaron’s four sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Aaron chapate kihop khen dan chu hiti hi ahi: Nadab ahin, Abihu ahin, Eleazer leh Ethamar amaho cheng hi ahiuve.
2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father died, and they had no children. So their [younger] brothers Eleazar and Ithamar became the priests.
Nadab le Abihu hi apa sang in athimasa lhon in, chajong aneiman lhon tapoi; chuin Eleazer leh Ithamar chu thempu ahung hilhon tai.
3 Zadok, who was a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, who was a descendant of Ithamar, helped David to separate his descendants into two groups. Each group had certain duties.
Eleazar chapate lah'a kon’le Zadok le Ithamar chapate lah’a kon Ahimelech panpina jal’in David chun ama ama natoh ding toh kisaijin agoltoh sohkeijun ahi.
4 There were more leaders among the descendants of Eleazar than there were among the descendants of Ithamar. So they appointed 16 leaders from Eleazar’s descendants and eight leaders from Ithamar’s descendants.
Ithamar chapate sang in, Eleazar chapate sunga chun miupa atam un, hijeh chun Eleazar chapate lah’a chun apu apateu insung lhahdol cheh in, lamkai somle gup alhengdoh un, amaho lamkai nan aum un ahi. Chule Ithamar chapte ding in lamkai miget bou ana lhengdoh un ahi.
5 There were temple officials and priests, including descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar, to make sure that the work was divided fairly. So they decided what work each person would do by (casting lots/throwing marked stones).
Akilhengdoh le lamkaija kipansah hohi kibang chetna vang kisansah ahiuvin, hitia akibolnaa kon chun Eleazar leh Ithamar chapate lah’a kon in, muntheng a natong vaihom dingleh Pathen natohna vaibol ding tampi kisepdoh ahi.
6 Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel, who was a descendant of Levi, wrote down the names [of the leaders of each group] while David and his officials were watching. Zadok, the [Supreme] Priest, and Ahimelech [his assistant], and the leaders of the families of the priests and of the families of the other descendants of Levi also watched.

19 Those were the men who were chosen to be the leaders of the groups that would serve in the temple, obeying the regulations that were set down by Aaron, regulations which Yahweh, the God to whom the Israeli people belonged, had given to him.
Amaho chengse hi akipansahna cheh uvin, natoh ding anei cheh un, Pathen houin sung ahung lut phat uleh, Pakai, Israel Pathen in Apupau Aaron thu anapeh bang leh, Aaron in amaho chengse tohding agontoh bang in atohdiuva kilom cheng chu atong jiuvin ahi.

31 The jobs they would do were decided by (casting lots/throwing marked stones), like their fellow Israelis, the descendants of Aaron, did. They cast lots {The lots were cast} while King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the leaders of the families of the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi watched. They gave the same jobs to the families of each oldest brother and each youngest brother.
Amaho chengse hin apa jang lhah insung cheh in, asopiteu umchan bang in Aaron chapate nunle khan athouvin ahi. David lengpa angsung le Zadok angsung, Ahimelech chule thempu ho apu apateu insung cheh’a kon chule Levi miho masanga chun vang akisan cheh tauve.
