And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, and the priests and Levites.

And the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years, and upwards: and there were found of them thirty-eight thousand men.

Of these twenty-four thousand were chosen, and distributed unto the ministry of the house of the Lord: and six thousand were the overseers and judges.

Moreover four thousand were porters: and as many singers singing to the Lord with the instruments, which he had made to sing with.

And Leheth was the first, Ziza the second: but Jaus and Baria had not many children, and therefore they were counted in one family, and in one house.

These are the sons of Levi in their kindreds and families, princes by their courses, and the number of every head that did the works of the ministry of the house of the Lord from twenty years old and upward.
25 David el fahk, “LEUM GOD lun Israel El sang misla nu sin mwet lal, ac El ac fah sifacna muta in Jerusalem ma pahtpat.
For David said: The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest to his people, and a habitation in Jerusalem for ever.
26 Ke ma inge, mwet Levi elos tia sifil enenu in us Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD ac ma orekmakinyuk ke pacl in alu.”
And it shall not be the office of the Levites to carry any more the tabernacle, and all the vessels for the service thereof.
27 Ke sripen oakwuk safla lal David inge, mwet Levi nukewa elos enenu in simla inelos ac akola nu ke moul in kulansap ke elos sun yac longoul.
So according to the last precepts of David, the sons of Levi are to be numbered from twenty years old and upward.

And they are to be under the hand of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the porches, and in the chambers, and in the place of purification, and in the sanctuary, and in all the works of the ministry of the temple of the Lord.
29 Ma kunalos pac in akoo bread ma kisakinyuk nu sin God, ac flao ma orekmakinyuk ke mwe kisa, ku lof srisrik wangin mwe pulol kac, ac mwe kisa manman, ac flao ma kulamisyuk ke oil in olive, oayapa elos pa srikeya ac pauni mwe sang nukewa ma utuku nu in Tempul uh.
And the priests have the charge of the leaves of proposition, and of the sacrifice of fine flour, and of the unleavened cakes, and of the fryingpan, and of the roasting, and of every weight and measure.
30 Elos pa oru on in kaksak nu sin LEUM GOD ke lotutang ac eku nukewa,
And the Levites are to stand in the morning to give thanks, and to sing praises to the Lord: and in like manner in the evening,
31 oayapa ke pacl nukewa ma mwe kisa firir orek nu sin LEUM GOD ke len Sabbath, ke Malem Sasu, ac ke kufwa saya. Oasr ma sap oakwuki in fahkak pisen mwet Levi ma eneneyuk nu ke orekma inge ke kais sie pacl. Ma kunen mwet Levi in karingin pacl in alu nu sin LEUM GOD nwe tok.
As well in the oblation of the holocausts of the Lord, as in the sabbaths and in the new moons, and the rest of the solemnities, according to the number and ceremonies prescribed for every thing, continually before the Lord.
32 Elos pa karinganang Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD oayapa Tempul, ac elos pa kasru mwet tol wialos in fwil natul Aaron, ke pacl in alu in Tempul.
And let them keep the observances of the tabernacle of the covenant, and the ceremonies of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, that they may minister in the house of the Lord.
