David consulted with the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with every leader.

David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this comes from Yahweh our God, let us send messengers everywhere to our brothers who remain in all the regions of Israel, and to the priests and Levites who are in their cities. Let them be told to 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.
Let us bring the ark of our God back to ourselves, for we did not seek his will in the days of Saul's reign.”
4 Kaminawk boih mah amsoem, tiah poek o pongah, sak hanah rangpui mah naakrak o.
The whole assembly agreed to do these things, because they seemed right in the eyes of all the people.
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 together, from the Shihor River 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, that is, Kiriath Jearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by Yahweh's name, Yahweh, who sits enthroned over the cherubim.
7 Abinadab ih imthung hoiah Sithaw ih thingkhong to maitaw leeng kangtha pongah suek o moe, Uzzah hoi Ahio mah ruet.
So they set the ark of God on a new cart. They brought it out of Abinadab's house. Uzzah and Ahio were 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 Israel were celebrating before God with all their might. They were singing with stringed instruments, 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 Kidon, Uzzah reached out with his hand to grab the ark, because the oxen 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.
Then the anger of Yahweh burned against Uzzah, and Yahweh killed him because Uzzah had reached out with his hand to the ark. 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.
David was angry because Yahweh had attacked Uzzah. That place is called Perez Uzzah 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.
David was afraid of God that day. He said, “How can I bring the ark of God home 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 David did not move the ark to the city of David, but put it aside in 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.
The ark of God remained in Obed Edom's household in his house for three months. So Yahweh blessed his house and all that he possessed.
