¹So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

¹Huan David a nadam sawtin a na upa mahmah taa; huchiin a tapa Solomon Israelte kumpipain a bawlta hi.

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

²Huan Israelte makai tengteng siampute leh Levite toh a sam khawma.

³Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.

³Huan, Levite kum sawmthum akipan tunglam sim ahi ua; a tamlam uh piching sing thum leh sang giat ahi uh.

⁴Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:

⁴Huaite laka sing nih leh sang li TOUPA in lamheutute heutu ding ahi ua; huan, sang gukte bel heutute leh vaihawmmite dingte ahi uh;

⁵Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.

⁵Huan sang lite kongkhakngakmite ding ahi ua, huan sang li te bel, Phatna dinga thil tumging chi ka bawl, Davidin a chihte zanga TOUPA phatmi dingte ahi uh.

⁶And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

⁶Huan Levi ta Gerson te, Kahath te, Merari te zahin Davidin pawl a bawla.

⁷Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.

⁷Gerson mite Ladan leh Simei ahi uh.

⁸The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.

⁸Ladan tate pipente Jehiel te, Setham te, Joel te, thum ahi uh.

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

⁹Simei tate Solomoth te, Haziel te, Haran te, thum ahi uh. Hiaite Ladan suan inkote pipente ahi uh.

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

¹⁰Huan Simei tate bel Juhath te Juhath te, Zin te, Jeus te, Beria te ahi uh. Hiai lite Simei tate ahi uh.

¹¹And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's house.

¹¹Huan Jahath a upa pen ahi a, Ziza a sang ahi; Jeus leh Beriaten bel ta a hau kei ua; huaijiakin inkuan khat banga sim ahi uh.

¹²The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

¹²Kahath tate Amram te, Izhar te, Hebron te, Uziel te, li ahi uh.

¹³The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.

¹³Amram tate Aron leh Mosi ahi uh; Aron bel amah leh a suante khantawna dinga thil siangthou takte hihsiangthou-a, khantawna TOUPA maa gimlim hala, a na sema, a mina vualjawlpa dinga hihtuam ahi uh.

¹⁴Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.

¹⁴Pathian mi Mosi bel, a tate Levi nam laka sim ahi uh.

¹⁵The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.

¹⁵Mosi tate Gersom leh Eliezer ahi uh, Gersom tate laka upa pen Sebuel ahi.

¹⁶Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.

¹⁶Huan Eliezer tate laka upapen Rehabia ahi.

¹⁷And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

¹⁷Huan Eliezerin tapa dang himhim a neikei; Rehabia in bel tapa tampi a nei.

¹⁸Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.

¹⁸Izhar tapate; Selmoth a pipen.

¹⁹Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

¹⁹Hebron tate laka pipen Jeria ahi a, a sang Amaria, a sang nawn Jahaziel, a sang nawn Jekameam ahi.

²⁰Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first and Jesiah the second.

²⁰Uziel tate laka upajaw Mika ahi a, a sang Isia ahi.

²¹The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.

²¹Merari tate; Merari tate bel Mahli leh Musi ahi uh, Mahli tate, Eleazar leh Kis ahi uh.

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

²²Huan Eleazar a si a, tapate neilouin, tanute kia a nei a; huan Kis tapa a unaute un jiin a nei uh.

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

²³Musi tate Mahli te, Eder te, Jeremoth te, thum ahi uh.

²⁴These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward.

²⁴Huaite Levi suan, a inkuan uh bang jela min gelha a sim uh inkuan pipen, TOUPA in lama kuan, kum sawmnih akipan tunglama sim tengte ahi uh.

²⁵For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:

²⁵Davidin, TOUPA, Israelte Pathianin a mite galmuang takin a omsaktaa, Jerusalem ah a om nilouha,

²⁶And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.

²⁶Leviten leng biakbuk leh a nasepna ding tuiumbelsuan tengteng a zon uh a kiphamohta kei hi, a chi ahi.

²⁷For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:

²⁷David thupiak nanung jiakin Levite kum sawmnih akipan tung lam tanin sim ahi ngal ua.

²⁸Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;

²⁸A nasep uh Pathian ina nasepa Aron tapate panpiha intual sung leh dantan sunga thil siangthou tengteng hihsiangthou-a, TOUPA ina nasep lah ahi ngala;

²⁹Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;

²⁹Tanghou koih ding te, tangbuang thillat dinga tangbuang nel mahmah, silngou hel louh tanghoupek hiam, bela uk hiam, kan hiam, a teh leh a letdan bang tengteng ding bawl khawng te toh;

³⁰And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even:

³⁰Huan jingsang tenga TOUPA kianga kipahthu gen leh amah phatte toh, nitaka leng huchi mah;

³¹And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD:

³¹Huan khawlni te-a, kha thak te-a ankuanglui neih te-a, a hihding seh bang jela TOUPA kianga halmang thillat tengteng TOUPA maa lat gige te toh;Huan kihoupihna puanin kep te, mun siangthou kep te, TOUPA ina nasema a unau Aron tapaten hih ding a seh peuhmah uh hih te toh.

³²And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.

³²Huan kihoupihna puanin kep te, mun siangthou kep te, TOUPA ina nasema a unau Aron tapaten hih ding a seh peuhmah uh hih te toh.
