1 Dungkrhoekhaih 13

1 David loe kami cumvaito ukkung misatuh angraengnawk, cumvaito ukkung angraengnawk, zaehoikungnawk boih hoi nawnto lok a ram.

Then David conferred with all his leaders, the commanders of hundreds and of thousands.

2 David mah, Israel kaminawk boih khaeah, Hae hmuen hae nangcae mah hoi tih, tiah na poek o moe, aicae Angraeng Sithaw koehhaih ah om tih, tiah na poek o nahaeloe, Israel prae thung boih ah kaom aimacae nawkamyanawk boih, vangpui hoi a taengah kaom qaimanawk hoi Levinawk boih aicae hoi nawnto amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah athum o thai hanah lok pat si;

And he said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this is of the LORD our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our brothers in all the land of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites in their cities and pasturelands, so that they may join us.

3 Saul siangpahrang ah oh nathung, mi mah doeh to thingkhong khaeah lok a dueng o vai ai pongah, aimacae Sithaw ih thingkhong to aimacae khaeah sin let si boeh, tiah a naa.

Then let us bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of Him in the days of Saul.”

4 Kaminawk boih mah amsoem, tiah poek o pongah, sak hanah rangpui mah naakrak o.

And because this proposal seemed right to all the people, the whole assembly agreed to it.

5 To pongah David mah Kiriath-Jearim hoiah Sithaw ih thingkhong to sin let hanah, Izip prae ih Shihor vapui hoi Hammath karoek to Israel kaminawk to pakhueng boih.

So David assembled all Israel, from the River Shihor in Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.

6 Cherubim salakah kaom, Angraeng Sithaw ih ahmin hoi kasaeng Sithaw ih thingkhong to angzawnh hanah, David hoi Israel kaminawk loe Keriath-Jearim, tiah kawk ih Judah prae Baalah ah caeh o boih.

David and all Israel went up to Baalah of Judah (that is, Kiriath-jearim) to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who is enthroned between the cherubim—the ark that is called by the Name.

7 Abinadab ih imthung hoiah Sithaw ih thingkhong to maitaw leeng kangtha pongah suek o moe, Uzzah hoi Ahio mah ruet.

So they carried the ark of God from the house of Abinadab on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding the cart.

8 David hoi Israel kaminawk boih loe, aqui kapop katoeng, cingceng, satuem hoi mongkahnawk to sin o moe, Angraeng hmaa ah tha hoi laasak o.

David and all the Israelites were celebrating before God with all their might, with songs and on harps and lyres, with tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.

9 Kidon ih cang atithaih ahmuen ah phak o naah loe, maitaw tae to amthaek pongah, Uzzah mah krak han ai ah Sithaw ih thingkhong to ban hoiah patawnh.

When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark, because the oxen had stumbled.

10 Sithaw ih thingkhong to ban hoi a sui pongah, Uzzah nuiah Angraeng palungphuihaih hmai baktiah angqong pongah, anih loe Sithaw hmaa ah duek.

And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and He struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.

11 Uzzah nuiah Angraeng palungphui pongah, David loe poeknawm ai; to ahmuen loe vaihni ni khoek to Perez Uzzah, tiah kawk o.

Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah; so he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.

12 To na niah loe David mah Sithaw to zit pongah, Kawbangmaw Sithaw ih thingkhong to im ah kaimah khaeah ka sin thai han? tiah a thuih.

That day David feared God and asked, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?”

13 To pongah David mah Sithaw ih thingkhong to angmah khaeah David ih vangpui thungah sin ai; ayae ving moe, Gitti kami Obed-Edom im ah sinh o lat.

So he did not move the ark with him to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

14 Sithaw ih thingkhong loe Obed-Edom imthung takoh hoi nawnto khrah thumto thung oh. To naah Angraeng mah Obed-Edom imthung takoh hoi a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih nuiah tahamhoihaih to paek.

Thus the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house for three months, and the LORD blessed his household and everything he owned.
