1 Chronicles 26
1 This is a list of the groups of men who guarded the temple gates: From the descendants of Korah, there was Meshelemiah, the son of Kore, who was one of the sons of Asaph.
Longkha karingkungnaw thaw kâreinae teh, Korah koehoi Asaph casaknaw Kore capa Meshelemiah.
2 The oldest son of Meshelemiah was Zechariah. His other sons were Jediael, Zebadiah, Jathniel,

Obededom casaknaw teh a camin Shemaiah, apâhni e teh Jehozabad, apâthum e teh Joah, apali e teh Sakar, apanga e teh Nethanel,
5 Ammiel, Issachar, and Peullethai. It was because God had blessed him that he had many sons.
ataruk e teh Ammiel, asari e teh Issakhar, ataroe e teh Peulthai, ahni teh Cathut ni yawhawi a poe.
6 Obed-Edom’s son Shemaiah also had sons. They were leaders in their father’s family because they were capable of doing many things well.
Shemaiah casaknaw thung hoi hai imthung kahrawinaw ao van. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tarankahawi ni teh athakaawme taminaw lah ao awh.
7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad. Shemaiah’s relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also capable men.
Shemaiah capanaw teh Othni, Rephael, Obed, a hmaunawngha Elzabad, hno katetthai capa Elihu hoi Semakiah.
8 All of those descendants of Obed-Edom and their sons and relatives were capable people and strong workers. Altogether there were 62 of them.
Hetnaw teh Obededom casaknaw doeh. A capanaw hoi a hmaunawnghanaw teh thaw ka tawk thai poung e lah ao. Obed-edomnaw teh 62 touh a pha awh.
9 Another guard was Meshelemiah. He and his sons and relatives were also capable people. There were 18 of them altogether.
Meshelemiah casaknaw hoi a hmaunawngha a thakaawm capa 18 touh ao awh.
10 Another guard was Hosah’s son Shimri, a descendant of Merari. Hosah appointed Shimri to be the leader, even though he was not Hosah’s oldest son.
Merari casak koehoi Hosah ni hai capanaw a tawn. Shimri te camin la ao hoeh nakunghai a na pa ni kacuepoung lah a ta.
11 Hosah’s other sons were Hilkiah, Tabaliah, and Zechariah. Altogether there were 13 sons and relatives of Hosah.
Apâhni e teh Hilkiah, apâthum e teh Tabaliah, apali e teh Zekhariah. Hosah casak hoi a hmaunawnghanaw abuemlah 13 touh a pha.
12 Those men were leaders of the groups of men who guarded the gates of the temple. They worked at the temple like their relatives did.
Hetnaw teh a hmaunawnghanaw patetlah BAWIPA e im dawk thaw ka tawk e longkha ka ring hanelah ao awh.
13 By casting lots, the leader of each family chose one gate for their group to guard. [All of them, including] young men and old men (OR, including leaders of large families and small families), cast lots.
Kacue kanaw a imthungnaw lahoi longkha tangkuem ring hanelah cungpam a rayu awh.
14 Shelemiah’s group was selected to guard the East Gate. The group of Shelemiah’s son Zechariah, who was a wise counselor, was selected to guard the North Gate.
Kanîtholae cungpam teh Shelemiah a bo. A lungkaang poung e lawkcengkung capa Zekhariah hanelah cungpam a rayu awh teh tung lae hah a coe.
15 Then Obed-Edom’s group was selected to guard the South Gate, and his sons were selected to guard the [entrances to the temple] storerooms.
Akalae Obededom a coe dawk hnopai tanae im teh a capanaw ni coe e lah ao.
16 Then Shuppim’s group and Hosah’s group were selected to guard the West Gate and the Shalleketh Gate on the upper road [to the temple]. The work for the guards was divided evenly.
Shuppim hoi Hosah ni coe e teh kanîloumlae takhangnae Shalleketh longkha hoi thongim a voivang lae hah doeh.
17 Each day there were six descendants of Levi who guarded the East Gate, four who guarded the North Gate, four who guarded the South Gate, and two at a time who guarded the entrances to the storerooms.
Kanîtholae Levihnaw 6 touh ao awh teh, hnin touh dawk atunglah 4, akalah 4, hahoi hnoim dawk 2, reirei ao.
18 At the West gate there were two men who guarded the courtyard and four who guarded the road outside the courtyard.
Kanîloumlae hoi rapan thung kâen nahanelah 4 touh, kalupnae thung 2 touh.
19 Those were the groups of men who were descendants of Korah and Merari who guarded the gates [of the temple].
Hetnaw teh Korah e capanaw hoi Merari e capanaw, longkha ka ring hanelah a kapek e naw doeh.
20 Other descendants of Levi were in charge of the chests that contained the money that was dedicated to Yahweh, money that the people brought to the temple.
Levihnaw thung hoi Ahijah teh Cathut im dawk hnopai poe e karingkung lah ao.
21 [One of those men was] Ladan, a descendant of Gershon. He was the ancestor of several family groups. Jehiel was the leader of one of those family groups.

22 Others who had that work were Zetham and his [younger] brother Joel, who were the sons of Jehiel.
Jehieli casak koehoi Zetham hoi a nawngha Joel teh BAWIPA im dawk e hnopai karingkung lah ao.
23 Others who did that work were descendants of Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Amram koehoi hai, Izhar koehoi hai, Hebron koehoi hai, Uzziel koehoi hai ao awh.
24 [From the descendants of Amram], Shubael, a descendant of Moses’s son Gershom, was the leader who was in charge of the money chests.
Mosi capa Gershom casak Shubael hai hnopai karingkungnaw dawk kacue lah ao.
25 [Others who did that work were] the descendants of [Gershom’s younger brother] Eliezer. Those men were Eliezer’s son Rehabiah, Rehabiah’s son Jeshaiah, Jeshaiah’s son Joram, Joram’s son Zicri, and Zicri’s son Shelomith.
Eliezer dawk hoi a hmaunawnghanaw teh Eliezer capa Rehabiah, a capa Isaiah, a capa Joram, a capa Zikhri, a capa Shelmoth.
26 Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of all the valuable things that had been dedicated [to Yahweh] by King David, by the leaders of the family groups, by the army commanders of 1,000 soldiers and commanders of 100 soldiers, and by other army commanders.
Shelomoth hoi a hmaunawnghanaw hai siangpahrang Devit hoi a imthung kahrawikung ransa 1000 kaukkung bawi, 100 touh kaukkung bawi lah ao awh. Ransabawinaw ni a poe e hnopai karingkung lah ao awh.
27 Some of the things that those army officers had taken [from Israel’s enemies] in battles they dedicated for the repair of the temple of Yahweh.
Taran a tuknae koe e lawphno a sin awh e teh, BAWIPA e im pathoup nahanelah a poe awh.
28 And Shelomith and his relatives were also in charge of everything that had been dedicated [to Yahweh] by the prophet Samuel, by King Saul, and by [David’s two army commanders] Ner and Joab.
Kahmawtkung Samuel hoi Kish capa Sawl, Ner capa Abner, Zeruiah capa Joab tinaw ni a poe tangcoung e naw hoi poe hanelah kaawm e hnonaw teh Shelomoth hoi a hmaunawnghanaw e kut dawk a kuem awh.
29 From the descendants of Izhar, Kenaniah and his sons were given work outside [the temple area]. They were officials and judges in [various places] in Israel.
Izharnaw dawk hoi Kenaniah hoi a capanaw teh Jerusalem rapan alawilae Isarelnaw dawk kahrawikungnaw hoi lawkcengkungnaw lah ao awh.
30 From the descendants of Hebron, Hashabiah and his relatives were responsible for the work done for Yahweh and for the king in all the area west of the Jordan [river]. There were 1,700 of them who were able to do their work well.
Hebronnaw dawk hoi Hashabiah hoi a hmaunawnghanaw teh hno katetthai e tami 17000 touh teh Jordan namran kanîloumlah BAWIPA e thawnaw hoi siangpahrang e thawnaw dawk Isarel ram karingkungnaw lah ao awh.
31 It was written in the records of the descendants of Hebron that Jeriah was their leader. When David had been ruling for almost 40 years, they searched in those records, and they found [names of] capable men descended from Hebron who were at Jazer [city] in the Gilead [region].
Hebronnaw koehoi Jerijah teh Hebronnaw e a na pa a tâconae patetlah kahrawikung lah ao. Devit a bawinae kum 40 touh a pha navah, Gilead ram e Jazer vah ahnimouh thung dawk e athakaawme hoi tarankahawi e moikapap a hmu awh.
32 Jeriah had 2,700 relatives who were able to do their work well, and who were leaders of their families. King David put them in charge of governing the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and [the eastern] half of the tribe of Manasseh, to be sure that all the people did what God and the king told them to do.
Cathut hane hoi siangpahrang e thaw dawkvah, Reuben, Gad, Manasseh casaknaw tangawn lathueng kahrawikungnaw hah Devit ni a ta. Imthungnaw ka hrawi hane dawk hoi hno katetthai e a hmaunawnghanaw teh 2, 700 touh a pha. awh.
