< Chronicles I 23 >

1 And David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel in his stead.
David loe mitong moe, saning coeh boeh pongah, a capa Solomon to Israel siangpahrang ah suek.
2 And he assembled all the chief men of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites.
Israel angraengnawk boih, qaimanawk hoi Levi acaengnawk to nawnto amkhuengsak.
3 And the Levites numbered [themselves] from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls amounted to thirty and eight thousand men.
Saning quithumto hoi ranui bang kapha Levi acaengnawk to a kroek boih, sangqum boih ah nongpa sing thum, sang tazetto oh o.
4 Of the overseers over the works of the house of the Lord [there were] twenty-four thousand, and [there were] six thousand scribes and judges;
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 doorkeepers, and four thousand to praise the Lord with instruments which he made to praise the Lord.
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 divided them [into] daily courses, for the sons of Levi, for Gedson, Caath, and Merari.
David loe Levi acaeng to angmacae acaeng baktih toengah abu abu ah tapraek; to kaminawk loe Gershom, Kohath hoi Merari.
7 And for [the family of] Gedson, Edan, and Semei.
Gershom acaengnawk loe Ladan hoi Shimei.
8 The sons of Edan [were] Jeiel, the chief, and Zethan, and Joel, three.

11 And Jeth was the chief, and Ziza the second: and Joas and Beria did not multiply sons, and they became [only] one reckoning according to the house of their father.
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.

13 The sons of Ambram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was appointed for the consecration of the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister and bless in his name for ever.

14 And [as for] Moses the man of God, his sons were reckoned to the tribe of Levi.

23 The sons of Musi; Mooli, and Eder, and Jarimoth, three.

24 These [are] the sons of Levi according to the houses of their fathers; chiefs of their families according to their numbering, according to the number of their names, according to their polls, doing the works of service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old 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, The Lord God of Israel has given rest to his people, and has taken up his abode in Jerusalem for ever.
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 the Levites bore not the tabernacle, and all the vessels of it 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 was the number of the Levites [taken] from twenty years old 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 he appointed them to wait on Aaron, to minister in the house of the Lord, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purification of all the holy things, and over the works 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 show-bread, and for the fine flour of the meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for the fried cake, and for the dough, and for every measure;

30 and to stand in the morning to praise and give thanks to the Lord, and so in the evening;
Akhawnbang kruek angdoet o moe, Angraeng khaeah anghoehaih lok to a thuih o; duembangah doeh to tiah a sak o.
31 and [to be] over all the whole burnt offerings that were offered up to the Lord on the sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts, by number, according to the order [given] to them, continually before the Lord.
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 are to keep the charge of the tabernacle of witness, and the charge of the holy place, and the charges of the sons of Aaron their brethren, to minister in the house of the Lord.
Levi acaengnawk mah kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im, hmuenciim hoi Angraeng im thungah toksah angmacae nawkamya Aaron ih caanawk to khetzawn o.
