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, [and] 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 to all the congregation of Israel, If [it seemeth] good to you, and [that it is] of the LORD our God, let us send abroad to our brethren every where, [that are] left in all the land of Israel, and with them [also] to the priests and Levites [who are] in their cities [and] suburbs, that they may assemble to 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 to us the ark of our God: for we inquired not at 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 congregation 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, from Shihor of Egypt even to the entrance of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-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 Kirjath-jearim, which [belonged] to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth [between] the cherubim, whose name is called [on it].
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 in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove 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, and with singing, 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 to 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 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 made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to 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 brought not the ark to himself to 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.
