1When David was old and full of years, he installed his son Solomon as king over Israel.
1David te patong coeng tih khohnin khaw cum coeng. Te dongah a capa Solomon te Israel soah a manghai sak.
2Then he gathered all the leaders of Israel, as well as the priests and Levites.
2Te phoeiah Israel mangpa boeih neh khosoih rhoek khaw, Levi rhoek khaw a coi.
3The Levites thirty years of age or older were counted, and the total number of men was 38,000.
3Te vaengah Levi rhoek te tongpa kum sawmthum lamloh a so hang te a tae tih amih kah hlangmi te a pum la hlang thawng sawmthum neh thawng rhet om.
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,
4Te rhoek khuiah BOEIPA im kah bitat aka mawt te thawng kul thawng li om tih rhoiboei rhoek neh laitloek rhoek he thawng rhuk om.
54,000 are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000 are to praise the LORD with the instruments I have made for giving praise.”
5Thoh tawt rhoek te thawng li, thangthen ham ka saii bangla tumbael neh BOEIPA aka thangthen te thawng li lo.
6Then David divided the Levites into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.
6David loh amih te boelnah neh a tael. Gershon kah Levi koca rhoek ah Kohath neh Merari.
7The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
7Gershon lamloh Ladan neh Shimei.
8The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all.
8Ladan koca ah a lucuek te Jehiel tih Zetham neh a pathum te Joel.
9The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan.
9Shimei koca rhoek Shelmoth neh Haziel, Haran neh pathum lo. Te rhoek te Ladan napa rhoek khuiah a lu la om uh.
10And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.
10Shimei koca rhoek ah Jahath, Zina, Jeush neh Beriah. He rhoek pali he Shimei koca rhoek ni.
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 te a lucuek tih Zizah he a pabae la om. Tedae Jeush neh Beriah tah a ca ping pawh. Te dongah napa pakhat imkhui pakhat bangla cawhkung pakhat la om uh.
12The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all.
12Kohath koca rhoek la Amram, Izhar, Hebron, Uzziel neh pali lo.
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 koca ah Aaron neh Moses dae, Aaron tah amah loh a cim kah a cim koek la ciim ham, anih neh anih koca rhoek tah kumhal hil BOEIPA mikhmuh ah aka phum uh la, a taengah aka thotat la, a ming neh kumhal hil aka uem la a hoep.
14As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
14Pathen kah hlang Moses neh anih koca rhoek te Levi koca la a khue uh.
15The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
15Moses koca ah Gershom neh Eliezer.
16The descendants of Gershom: Shebuel was the first.
16Gershom koca kah boeilu tah Shubael.
17The descendants of Eliezer: Rehabiah was the first. Eliezer did not have any other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous.
17Eliezer koca aka om rhoek khuiah Rehabiah he boeilu dae Eliezer te ca a tloe om pawh. Tedae Rehabiah koca rhoek tah a pueh la ping uh.
18The sons of Izhar: Shelomith was the first.
18Izhar koca khuiah Shelomith he boeilu la om.
19The sons of Hebron: Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
19Hebron koca ah Jeriah te a cacuek, Amariah te a pabae, Jahaziel a pathum, Jekameam tah a pali.
20The sons of Uzziel: Micah was the first and Isshiah the second.
20Uzziel koca rhoek ah Maikah te a cacuek tih Isshiah te a pabae.
21The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
21Merari koca ah Mahli neh Mushi, Mahli koca ah Eleazar neh Kish.
22Eleazar died without having any sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
22Eleazar a duek vaengah he a taengah ca tongpa a om moenih. Tedae ca huta rhoek bueng om tih amih te a manuca Kish koca rhoek loh a loh uh.
23The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth —three in all.
23Mushi koca rhoek la Mahli, Eder, Jerimoth neh pathum lo.
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.
24He rhoek tah Levi koca rhoek kah a napa rhoek imkhui lamloh a napa boeilu rhoek ni. Tongpa kum kul neh a so hang lamloh BOEIPA im kah thothuengnah ham bitat a saii uh. Amih te a hlangmi neh a ming tarhing la a soep uh.
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 loh, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh a pilnam te a duem sak tih Jerusalem ah kumhal due kho a sak.
26So now the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles for its service.”
26Levi te khaw dungtlungim neh a thothuengnah dongkah a hnopai boeih te a koh ham moenih,” a ti.
27For according to the final instructions of David, the Levites twenty years of age or older were counted,
27David kah hnukkhueng ol dongkah bangla amih Levi koca rhoek kah hlangmi tah tongpa kum kul neh a so hang lamkah ni a tae.
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,
28Amih kah ngolhmuen ngawn tah BOEIPA im kah thothuengnah khuiah khaw, vongup ah khaw, imkhui ah khaw, hmuencim boeih kah ciimnah dongah khaw, Pathen im thothuengnah bibi dongah khaw Aaron koca rhoek kah a kut a kho la om uh.
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.
29Rhungkung buh dongah khaw, khocang vaidam dongah khaw, vaidamding vaidamrhawm dongah khaw, thiphael dongah khaw, a kae dongah khaw, khoe neh cungnueh boeih dongah khaw om uh.
30They were also to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the LORD, and likewise in the evening.
30Mincang, mincang ah pai tih BOEIPA aka uem ham neh aka thangthen hamla, hlaem ah khaw te tlam te aka thangthen la om uh.
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.
31A cungkuem dongah BOEIPA taengkah hmueihhlutnah te Sabbath ah khaw, Hlasae ah khaw, tingtunnah dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh kah laitloeknah bangla a tarhing neh phat a khuen uh.
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.
32Te dongah tingtunnah dap kah a kuek neh hmuencim kah a kuek khaw, BOEIPA im kah thothuengnah dongkah a manuca Aaron koca rhoek kah a kuek khaw a ngaithuen uh.
