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.
Aron capanaw thaw reinae teh hettelah ao. Aron casaknaw teh Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar hoi Ithamar tinaw hah doeh.
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 hoi Abihu teh a na pa a due hoehnahlan a due roi teh, capa tawn roi hoeh. Hatdawkvah, Eleazar hoi Ithamar ni vaihma thaw teh a tawk roi.
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.
Devit ni Eleazar casak Zadok hoi Ithamar casak Ahimelek tinaw hoi rei ka tawk hane thaw a kapek pouh.
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 casaknaw hlak vah, Eleazar casaknaw ni kahrawikung kapap lah ao awh. Eleazar casak dawk hoi imthung kahrawikungnaw 16 touh a pha awh. Ithamar casak dawk hoi imthung kahrawikungnaw 8 touh a pha awh.
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).
Hottelah cungpam a khoe awh teh, suetalah a kârei awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Eleazar casaknaw hoi Ithamar casaknaw dawk hmuen kathoung dawk e kahrawikung hoi Cathut e im hanelah kahrawikung lah ao awh.
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.
Levih tami cakathutkung Nethanel capa Shemaiah ni siangpahrang hoi kahrawikungnaw hah vaihma Zadok hoi Abiathar capa Ahimelek, hoi vaihmanaw hah Levih imthung kahrawikungnaw e mithmu vah a thut. Imthung kahrawikung buet touh ni a coe e teh, Eleazar imthung dawk a bo. Buet touh e teh Ithamar imthung dawk a bo.

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.
Hetteh BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni na pa Aron koe a poe e BAWIPA e im dawk thaw a tawk awh hanelah a kâparei awh e lah a ao.
20 [This is a list of some of] the other descendants of Levi: Amram was the ancestor of Shubael and Jehdeiah.

Kish koehoi capa Jerahmeel.
30 The sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. Those were descendants of Levi who were listed according to the leaders of their families.
Mushi casak teh Mahli, Eder, Jerimoth doeh. Hetnaw teh Levih casaknaw dawk hoi imthung kahrawikungnaw doeh.
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.
Ahnimouh ni hai Aron casaknaw teh a hmaunawngha patetlah siangpahrang Devit hoi Zadok hoi Ahimelek hoi vaihmanaw hoi, Levihnaw imthung kahrawikungnaw mithmu vah, cungpam a rayu van awh. Imthung kahrawikung kacuepoung ni a nawngha cahnoung ni a sak e patetlah a sak awh.
