1 Chronicles 23

1 And David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

Chuin David ahung teh in, akum atamphat in achapa Solomon chu Isrealte lengpan apansah tai

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

Aman Isreal gam a lengte, thempuho chule Levi mite akhom in ahi

3 And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward; and their number, by their polls, man by man, was 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 preside over the work of the house of Jehovah; 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 and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made, [said David, ] to praise [therewith].

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 And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

Chuin David chu Levi chate Gershon, kohath le Merari min in akhen kit in ahi.

7 Of the Gershonites: Laadan and Shimei.

Gershon mite hochu Laaadan le Shimei ahi

8 The sons of Laadan: the head was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.

Laadan chate chu Jehiel le Zatham le Joel agom a thum

9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief fathers of Laadan.

Shimei chate chu Shelomith leh Heziel le Haran ahi. Amaho hi Laadan insunga mi upa ho ahiuve

10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Ziza, and Jeush, and Beriah. These were the four sons of Shimei.

Chule Shimei chate chu Jahath, Ziza, Zeush chule Beriah. Amaho li hi Shimei chate ahiuve.

11 And Jahath was the head, and Ziza the second; and Jeush and Beriah had not many sons: as father's house, therefore, they were reckoned as one.

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 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Jizhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

Kohath hin chapa li ana hingin amahochu; Amran, Izahar, Hebron chule Uzziel ana hiuve.

13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was separated, that he should be hallowed as most holy, he and his sons for ever, to offer before Jehovah, to do service to him, and to bless in his name for ever.

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 — And as to Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.

Mose hi Pathen mipan ana kisim in ahi. Achapa techu Levi chilhah noiya ana ki minvon ahi.

15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.

Mose chapa techu Gershom chule Eleizer ana hi hone.

16 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the head.

Gershom chapa telah a chun Shebul chu ana haosa lamkaiyin ahi,

17 And the sons of Eliezer: Rehabiah the head; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

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 — The sons of Jizhar: Shelomith the head.

Izhar chapa te lah a Shalomith chu ana haosa lamkaiyin ahi.

19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the head, 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 The sons of Uzziel: Micah the head, and Jishijah the second.

Uzziel chapate lah a Micah chu atahpen in chule Issiah chu ani channa ana hi.

21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.

Merari Chate ho chu Mahli le Mushi ahin Mahli chapate chu Mahli, Eleazer le Kish ahiuve.

22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters; and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.

Chapa neilouva Eleazar thi chule chanu bou anei in ahi. Chule asopi Kish chapaten achanu te akichen pin ahi.

23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.

Mushi Chateho chu Athum uvin- Mahli, Eder chule Jeremoth ho ahiuve

24 These were the sons of Levi according to their fathers' houses, the chief fathers, as they were reckoned, by number of names by their polls, who did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, 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, Jehovah the God of Israel has given rest to his people, and he will dwell in Jerusalem for ever;

Chuin David in, Isreal Pathen chun amite cholngah sah in chule atonsot a Jerusalem a cheng ding ahi.

26 and the Levites also have no more to carry the tabernacle, nor any of its vessels for its service.

Pathen houbuh a kimang le athil ho chengse jong Levi ten anungpoh kit lou diu ahitai.

27 For by the last words of David was this [done], — the numbering of the sons of Levi 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 For their place was by 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 purifying of all holy things, and [for] the work of the service of the house of God;

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 and for the loaves to be set in rows, and for the fine flour for the oblation, and for the unleavened cakes, and for [what is baked in] the pan, and for that which is saturated [with oil], and for all measure of capacity and size;

Dokhanga changlhah luidoh ding, todoh ding changbong ho chule ajat alet aneo dungjui a haltoh ding chengse jong avettup diu ahi.

30 and to stand every morning to thank and praise Jehovah, and likewise at even;

Jingkah seh le ding uva Pathena vahchoi dingu ahi. Nilhah le angaima banga abol kit diu ahi.

31 and for all burnt-offerings offered up to Jehovah on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the ordinance concerning them, continually, before Jehovah;

Chule amahon Sabbath nikho le Lhathah nikho a Pakai anga thilto abol teng ule amijat ana ngaichat dungjui a abol diu ahi.

32 and they kept the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of Jehovah.

Hiti chun Leviten ten ponbuh a kinbol hihen muntheng kibol hihen, asopiu Aaron chapate chu Pakai kibol na’a akithopi jing diu ahi.
