He made a promise to the Lord, a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

5 BOEIPA ham a hmuen neh Jakob kah samrhang ham tolhmuen ka hmuh duela.
until I find a place where the Lord can live, a home for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 Khohmuen duup ah m'hmuh te Epharath ah khaw n'yaak uh coeng.
In Ephrathah we received information about the Ark of Agreement, and we found it in fields near Jaar.

Let's go to the place where the Lord lives and bow down at his feet in worship.

Come, Lord, and enter your home, together with your Ark of your power.
9 Na khosoih rhoek loh duengnah bai uh saeh lamtah na hlangcim rhoek loh tamhoe uh saeh.
May your priests wear goodness like clothing; may your faithful people shout for joy.

For the sake of your servant David, don't reject the king you have chosen.

If your sons keep to my agreement and my laws that I will teach them, then their sons will always occupy your throne.”

For the Lord has chosen Zion, wanting to make his home there, saying:
14 Ka duemnah he ka sahnaih coeng dongah a yoeyah la pahoi ka ngol thil ni.
“This will always be my home; this is where I want to live.
15 A sakah te ka uem ka uem pah vetih a khuikah khodaeng rhoek te buh ka cung sak ni.
I will provide the people of the city with all they need; I will feed the poor.
