1When David was old and full of years, he installed his son Solomon as king over Israel.
1David loe mitong moe, saning coeh boeh pongah, a capa Solomon to Israel siangpahrang ah suek.
2Then he gathered all the leaders of Israel, as well as the priests and Levites.
2Israel angraengnawk boih, qaimanawk hoi Levi acaengnawk to nawnto amkhuengsak.
3The Levites thirty years of age or older were counted, and the total number of men was 38,000.
3Saning quithumto hoi ranui bang kapha Levi acaengnawk to a kroek boih, sangqum boih ah nongpa sing thum, sang tazetto oh o.
4“Of these,” said David, “24,000 are to oversee the work of the house of the LORD, 6,000 are to be officers and judges,
4Hae 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.
54,000 are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000 are to praise the LORD with the instruments I have made for giving praise.”
5Kami 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.
6Then David divided the Levites into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.
6David loe Levi acaeng to angmacae acaeng baktih toengah abu abu ah tapraek; to kaminawk loe Gershom, Kohath hoi Merari.
7The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
7Gershom acaengnawk loe Ladan hoi Shimei.
8The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all.
8Ladan loe caa thumto sak; calu Jehiel, Zetham hoi Joel.
9The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan.
9Shimei loe caa thumto sak; Helemoth, Haziel hoi Haran. Hae kaminawk loe Ladan imthung takoh thung ih lu koek ah oh o.
10And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.
10Shimei ih capanawk loe Jahath, Zina, Jeush hoi Beriah. Hae kami palitonawk loe Shimei ih caa ah oh o.
11Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were counted as one family and received a single assignment.
11Jahath 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.
12The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all.
12Kohath ih caanawk loe Amram, Izhar, Hebron hoi Uzziel; palito oh o.
13The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were set apart forever to consecrate the most holy things, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister before Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name forever.
13Amram 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.
14As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
14Sithaw kami Mosi ih caanawk loe Levi acaeng thungah kroek o hmaek.
15The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
15Mosi ih caanawk loe Gershom hoi Eliezer.
16The descendants of Gershom: Shebuel was the first.
16Gershom ih caanawk thungah Shebuel loe calu ah oh.
17The descendants of Eliezer: Rehabiah was the first. Eliezer did not have any other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous.
17Eliezer ih caanawk thungah Rehabiah loe calu ah oh. Rehabiah ih caanawk loe pop o parai; toe Eliezer loe kalah capanawk to tawn ai boeh.
18The sons of Izhar: Shelomith was the first.
18Izhar ih caanawk thungah Shelomith loe calu ah oh.
19The sons of Hebron: Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
19Hebron ih caanawk thungah Jeriah loe calu ah oh; hnetto haih ah Amariah, thumto haih ah Jahaziel to oh moe, palito haih ah Jekameam to oh.
20The sons of Uzziel: Micah was the first and Isshiah the second.
20Uzziel ih caanawk thungah Mikah loe calu ah oh; hnetto haih ah Jesiah to sak.
21The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
21Merari ih caanawk loe Mahli hoi Mushi. Mahli ih caanawk loe Eleazar hoi Kish.
22Eleazar died without having any sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
22Eleazar loe capa tawn ai ah duek; canu khue ni a tawnh; anih ih canunawk loe amnawk Kish ih capanawk mah zu ah lak o.
23The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth —three in all.
23Mushi loe caa thumto sak; Mahli, Eder hoi Jeremoth.
24These were the descendants of Levi by their families—the heads of families, registered individually by name—those twenty years of age or older who worked in the service of the house of the LORD.
24Hae 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.
25For David had said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, has given rest to His people and has come to dwell in Jerusalem forever.
25David mah, Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah angmah ih kaminawk khaeah anghakhaih to paek boeh moe, Angraeng angmah doeh Jerusalem ah dungzan ah oh boeh pongah,
26So now the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles for its service.”
26Levi acaengnawk mah kahni im aput han angai ai, to ah toksak hanah laom sabaenawk phawh han angai ai boeh, tiah a naa.
27For according to the final instructions of David, the Levites twenty years of age or older were counted,
27Hnukkhuem koek David mah paek ih loknawk baktih toengah, Levi acaengnawk loe saning pumphaeto hoi ranuih bang khue ni kroek o;
28but their duty was to assist the descendants of Aaron with the service of the house of the LORD, being responsible for the courts and chambers, the purification of all the holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God,
28Angraeng 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:
29as well as for the rows of the showbread, the fine flour for the grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the baking, the mixing, and all measurements of quantity and size.
29caboi 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.
30They were also to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the LORD, and likewise in the evening.
30Akhawnbang kruek angdoet o moe, Angraeng khaeah anghoehaih lok to a thuih o; duembangah doeh to tiah a sak o.
31Whenever burnt offerings were presented to the LORD on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts, they were to serve regularly before the LORD in the numbers prescribed for them.
31Angraeng 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.
32So the Levites were to carry out the responsibilities for the Tent of Meeting and the Holy Place, and, under their brothers the descendants of Aaron, the service of the house of the LORD.
32Levi acaengnawk mah kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im, hmuenciim hoi Angraeng im thungah toksah angmacae nawkamya Aaron ih caanawk to khetzawn o.
