1 Chronicles 23
1 And David is old, and satisfied with days, and causeth his son Solomon to reign over Israel,
David loe mitong moe, saning coeh boeh pongah, a capa Solomon to Israel siangpahrang ah suek.
2 and gathereth all the heads of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites;
Israel angraengnawk boih, qaimanawk hoi Levi acaengnawk to nawnto amkhuengsak.
3 and the Levites are numbered from a son of thirty years and upward, and their number, by their polls, is of mighty men thirty and eight thousand.
Saning quithumto hoi ranui bang kapha Levi acaengnawk to a kroek boih, sangqum boih ah nongpa sing thum, sang tazetto oh o.
4 Of these to preside over the work of the house of Jehovah [are] twenty and four thousand, and officers and judges six thousand,
Hae kaminawk thung ih kami sing hnet, sang palito loe Angraeng ih im tok to sak o; sang tarukto loe angraeng hoi lok takroekkung ah oh o.
5 and four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to Jehovah, 'with instruments that I made for praising,' [saith David.]
Kami sang palito loe khongkha toepkung ah oh o moe, kami sang palito loe ka paek ih atuen congca hoiah Angraeng to saphaw o tih, tiah David mah a naa.
6 And David distributeth them into courses: Of the sons of Levi: of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
David loe Levi acaeng to angmacae acaeng baktih toengah abu abu ah tapraek; to kaminawk loe Gershom, Kohath hoi Merari.
7 Of the Gershonite: Laadan and Shimei.
Gershom acaengnawk loe Ladan hoi Shimei.
8 Sons of Laadan: the head [is] Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
Ladan loe caa thumto sak; calu Jehiel, Zetham hoi Joel.
9 Sons of Shimei [are] Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three; these [are] heads of the fathers of Laadan.
Shimei loe caa thumto sak; Helemoth, Haziel hoi Haran. Hae kaminawk loe Ladan imthung takoh thung ih lu koek ah oh o.
10 And sons of Shimei [are] Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah; these [are] sons of Shimei, four.
Shimei ih capanawk loe Jahath, Zina, Jeush hoi Beriah. Hae kami palitonawk loe Shimei ih caa ah oh o.
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.
Jahath loe calu koekah oh, Zizah loe hnetto haih ah oh; toe Jeush hoi Beriah loe capa kapop ah tawn hoi ai; to pongah nihnik loe ampa maeto ih imthung takoh milu cazin thungah ni athum hoi.
12 Sons of Kohath [are] Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
Kohath ih caanawk loe Amram, Izhar, Hebron hoi Uzziel; palito oh o.
13 Sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron is separated for his sanctifying the holy of holies, he and his sons — unto the age, to make perfume before Jehovah, to serve Him, and to bless in His name — unto the age.
Amram ih caanawk loe Aaron hoi Mosi. Aaron hoi anih ih caanawk loe dungzan ah kaciim koek hmuennawk to tathlangh o moe, Angraeng hmaa ah hmuihoih thlaek to hanah, anih hmaa ah toksak moe, dungzan ahmin hoiah tahamhoihhaih paek hanah pahoe o.
14 As to Moses, the man of God, his sons are called after the tribe of Levi.
Sithaw kami Mosi ih caanawk loe Levi acaeng thungah kroek o hmaek.
15 Sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Mosi ih caanawk loe Gershom hoi Eliezer.
16 Sons of Gershom: Shebuel the head.

17 And sons of Eliezer are Rehabiah the head, and Eliezer had no other sons, and the sons of Rehabiah have multiplied exceedingly.

21 Sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.

22 And Eleazar dieth, and he had no sons, but daughters, and sons of Kish their brethren take them.

23 Sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth, three.
Mushi loe caa thumto sak; Mahli, Eder hoi Jeremoth.
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 polls, doing the work for the service of the house of Jehovah, from a son of twenty years and upward,
Hae kaminawk loe saning pumphaeto hoi ranuih bang, Angraeng ih im ah toksah kami ah kaom, Levi acaeng thungah milu cazin kakun, acaeng zaehoikungnawk ah oh o.
25 for David said, 'Jehovah, God of Israel, hath given rest to His people, and He doth tabernacle in Jerusalem unto the age;'
David mah, Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah angmah ih kaminawk khaeah anghakhaih to paek boeh moe, Angraeng angmah doeh Jerusalem ah dungzan ah oh boeh pongah,
26 and also of the Levites, 'None [are] to bear the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service;'
Levi acaengnawk mah kahni im aput han angai ai, to ah toksak hanah laom sabaenawk phawh han angai ai boeh, tiah a naa.
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,
Hnukkhuem koek David mah paek ih loknawk baktih toengah, Levi acaengnawk loe saning pumphaeto hoi ranuih bang khue ni kroek o;
28 for their station [is] at the side of the sons of Aaron, for the service of the house of Jehovah, 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,
Angraeng ih im thungah toksakhaih, longhmanawk, imkhaannawk, ciimcai hmuennawk pasaehhaih, Sithaw imthung ah toksak naah, Aaron ih caanawk abomhaih loe Levi acaengnawk mah sak han koi tok ah oh:
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 fried, and for all [liquid] measure and [solid] measure;
caboi pongah patoem ih takaw, buh hoi angbawnhaih sak hanah takawdip, taeh thuh ai ih takaw, camphaek laom pongah paaem ih takaw, situi hoiah haek ih takaw, kazit tahhaih hoi kalen kasawk tahhaih hmuennawk sahkung ah a oh o.
30 and to stand, morning by morning, to give thanks, and to give praise to Jehovah, and so at evening;
Akhawnbang kruek angdoet o moe, Angraeng khaeah anghoehaih lok to a thuih o; duembangah doeh to tiah a sak o.
31 and for all the burnt-offerings — burnt-offerings to Jehovah for sabbaths, for new moons, and for appointed seasons, by number, according to the ordinance upon them continually, before Jehovah.
Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, Sabbath ni, khrah kangtha ni, poih sakhaih ni kruek, apet ai ah Angraeng hmaa ah hmai angbawnhaih boih to sah o tih.
32 And they have kept the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron, their brethren, for the service of the house of Jehovah.
Levi acaengnawk mah kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im, hmuenciim hoi Angraeng im thungah toksah angmacae nawkamya Aaron ih caanawk to khetzawn o.
