1 Chronicles 23
1 When David was old and near the end of his life, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
Chuin David ahung teh in, akum atamphat in achapa Solomon chu Isrealte lengpan apansah tai
2 He gathered together all the leaders of Israel, with the priests and Levites.
Aman Isreal gam a lengte, thempuho chule Levi mite akhom in ahi
3 The Levites who were thirty years old and older were counted. They numbered thirty-eight thousand.
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 were to oversee the work of Yahweh's house, and six thousand were 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 Four thousand were gatekeepers, and four thousand were to praise Yahweh with the instruments that I made to give praise,” David said.
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 He divided them into groups that corresponded to Levi's sons: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Chuin David chu Levi chate Gershon, kohath le Merari min in akhen kit in ahi.
7 From the clans descended from Gershon, there were Ladan and Shimei.
Gershon mite hochu Laaadan le Shimei ahi
8 There were three of Ladan's sons: Jehiel the leader, Zetham, and Joel.
Laadan chate chu Jehiel le Zatham le Joel agom a thum
9 There were three of Shimei's sons: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran. These were the leaders of the clans of Ladan.
Shimei chate chu Shelomith leh Heziel le Haran ahi. Amaho hi Laadan insunga mi upa ho ahiuve
10 There were four of Shimei's sons: Jahath, Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah.
Chule Shimei chate chu Jahath, Ziza, Zeush chule Beriah. Amaho li hi Shimei chate ahiuve.
11 Jahath was the oldest, and Ziza the second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were considered as one clan with the same duties.
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 There were four of Kohath's sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
Kohath hin chapa li ana hingin amahochu; Amran, Izahar, Hebron chule Uzziel ana hiuve.
13 These were Amram's sons: Aaron and Moses. Aaron was chosen to set apart the most holy things, that he and his descendants would offer incense before Yahweh, to serve him and to give blessings in his name forever.
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 But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were considered to be Levites.
Mose hi Pathen mipan ana kisim in ahi. Achapa techu Levi chilhah noiya ana ki minvon ahi.
15 Moses' sons were Gershom and Eliezer.
Mose chapa techu Gershom chule Eleizer ana hi hone.
16 Gershom's descendant was Shubael the oldest.
Gershom chapa telah a chun Shebul chu ana haosa lamkaiyin ahi,
17 Eliezer's descendant was Rehabiah. Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had many descendants.
Chule Eleizer chapate lah a Rehabiah chu ana Haosa lamkaiyin ahi. Eleizer hin chapa dang ana hingpon ahi, amavang Rehabia hin chapa tampi ana hing in ahi.
18 Izhar's son was Shelomith the leader.
Izhar chapa te lah a Shalomith chu ana haosa lamkaiyin ahi.
19 Hebron's descendants were Jeriah, the oldest, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Hebron chapate lah a Jeriah chu ana tah pen in ahi, Amariah chu anina an hin, Jahaziel chu athumna chule Jekameam chu ali channa ana hi.
20 Uzziel's sons were Micah the oldest, and Ishijah the second.
Uzziel chapate lah a Micah chu atahpen in chule Issiah chu ani channa ana hi.
21 Merari's sons were Mahli and Mushi. Mahli's sons were Eleazar and Kish.
Merari Chate ho chu Mahli le Mushi ahin Mahli chapate chu Mahli, Eleazer le Kish ahiuve.
22 Eleazar died without having any sons. He had only daughters. The sons of Kish married them.
Chapa neilouva Eleazar thi chule chanu bou anei in ahi. Chule asopi Kish chapaten achanu te akichen pin ahi.
23 Mushi's three sons were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth.
Mushi Chateho chu Athum uvin- Mahli, Eder chule Jeremoth ho ahiuve
24 These were Levi's descendants corresponding to their clans. They were the leaders, counted and listed by name, of the clans that did the work in the service of Yahweh's house, from twenty years old 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, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people. He makes his home in Jerusalem forever.
Chuin David in, Isreal Pathen chun amite cholngah sah in chule atonsot a Jerusalem a cheng ding ahi.
26 The Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all the equipment used in its service.”
Pathen houbuh a kimang le athil ho chengse jong Levi ten anungpoh kit lou diu ahitai.
27 For by David's last words the Levites were counted, from twenty years old and upward.
David hilchah na achainapen dungjui in, Levi techu kum somni a tah le achunglam apat kisim pan ahi.
28 Their duty was to assist Aaron's descendants in the service of Yahweh's house. They were to care for the courtyards, the rooms, the ceremonial purification of all the things that belong to Yahweh, and other work in the service of God's house.
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 They also took care of the bread of the presence, the fine flour for grain offerings, the unleavened wafers, the baked offerings, the offerings mixed with oil, and all the measuring of the amounts and sizes of things.
Dokhanga changlhah luidoh ding, todoh ding changbong ho chule ajat alet aneo dungjui a haltoh ding chengse jong avettup diu ahi.
30 They also stood every morning to thank and praise Yahweh. They also did this in the evening
Jingkah seh le ding uva Pathena vahchoi dingu ahi. Nilhah le angaima banga abol kit diu ahi.
31 and whenever burnt offerings were offered to Yahweh, on the Sabbath and at the new moon festivals and feast days. A fixed number, assigned by decree, always had to be present before Yahweh.
Chule amahon Sabbath nikho le Lhathah nikho a Pakai anga thilto abol teng ule amijat ana ngaichat dungjui a abol diu ahi.
32 They were in charge of the tent of meeting, the holy place, and helped their fellow descendants of Aaron in the service of Yahweh's house.
Hiti chun Leviten ten ponbuh a kinbol hihen muntheng kibol hihen, asopiu Aaron chapate chu Pakai kibol na’a akithopi jing diu ahi.
