1 Khokhuen 13

1 David loh thawngkhat neh yakhat mangpa rhoek te khaw, rhaengsang boeih te khaw a uen.

And David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.

2 Te vaengah David loh Israel hlangping boeih te, “Nangmih ham a then mak atah mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taeng lamloh Israel khohmuen tom kah aka sueng mah manuca taengah pungtai uh sih lamtah tueih uh sih. Amih neh khosoih rhoek khaw, a khocaak khopuei khuikah Levi rhoek khaw mamih taengla tingtun saeh.

And David said unto, all the assembly of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and if it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad every where unto our brethren that are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:

3 Saul tue vaengah te a toem uh pawt akhaw mamih Pathen kah thingkawng te mah taengla mael sak uh sih,” a ti nah.

and let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we sought not unto it in the days of Saul.

4 Te vaengah hlangping boeih loh,” Ol he pilnam boeih kah mikhmuh ah a dueng coeng dongah saii ham om tangloeng,” a ti uh.

And all the assembly said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

5 Te dongah Kiriathjearim lamkah Pathen thingkawng koh hamla David loh Israel pum te Egypt Shihor lamloh Lebokhamath duela a tingtun sak.

So David assembled all Israel together, from Shihor [the brook] of Egypt even unto the entering in of Hamath; to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.

6 Ming a phuk vanbangla cherubim loh kho a sak thil Pathen BOEIPA kah thingkawng te, te lamloh Judah kah Kiriathjearim la paan puei ham David neh Israel boeih tah Baalah la cet uh.

And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, [that is], to Kiriath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, the LORD that sitteth upon the cherubim, which is called by the Name.

7 Te phoeiah ah Pathen kah thingkawng te Abinadab im lamloh leng a thai dongah a hol uh tih leng te Uzzah neh Ahio loh a khool.

And they carried the ark of God upon a new cart, [and brought it] out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.

8 David neh Israel boeih tah Pathen mikhmuh ah sarhi boeih neh, laa neh, rhotoeng neh, thangpa neh, kamrhing neh, tlaklak neh, olueng neh luem uh.

And David and all Israel played before God with all their might: even with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

9 Khidon la a pawk uh vaengah tah vaito loh a soek dongah thingkawng te tuuk pah hamla Uzzah loh a kut a thueng.

And when they came unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

10 Tedae thingkawng soah a kut a thueng dongah BOEIPA kah thintoek te Uzzah taengah sai tih anih te a ngawn. Te dongah Pathen mikhmuh ah pahoi duek.

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put forth his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.

11 BOEIPA loh Uzzah puut te a va dongah David khaw sai. Te dongah te hmuen te tahae khohnin hil Perezuzzah la a khue.

And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth upon Uzza: and he called that place Perez-uzza, unto this day.

12 Te khohnin ah tah Pathen te David loh a rhih coeng tih, “Pathen thingkawng he ka taengla metlam ka khuen eh?” a ti.

And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?

13 Te dongah David loh thingkawng te David khopuei la amah neh puei voel pawt tih Ghitti Obededom imkhui la a hooi.

So David removed not the ark unto him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

14 Pathen kah thingkawng te Obededom cako neh a im ah hla thum om. Tedae BOEIPA loh Obededom imkhui neh a taengkah boeih te yoethen a paek.

And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months: and the LORD blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
