1 Khokhuen 13
1 David loh thawngkhat neh yakhat mangpa rhoek te khaw, rhaengsang boeih te khaw a uen.
And David consulteth with the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, 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 saith to all the assembly of Israel, 'If unto you it be good, and from Jehovah our God it hath broken forth — we send unto our brethren, those left in all the lands of Israel, and with them the priests and the Levites, in the cities of their suburbs, and they are gathered 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 we bring round the ark of our God unto us, for we sought Him not 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 say to do so, for the thing is 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.
And David assembleth all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering in of Hamath, to bring in 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 goeth up, and all Israel, to Baalah, unto Kirjath-Jearim that [is] to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God Jehovah, inhabiting the cherubs, where the Name is called on.
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 place the ark of God on a new cart, from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio are leading 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 are playing before God, with all strength, and 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 they come in unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, and Uzza putteth forth his hand to seize the ark, for the oxen were released,
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 Jehovah is kindled against Uzza, and He smiteth him, because that he hath put forth his hand on the ark, and he dieth there 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 it is displeasing to David, because Jehovah hath made a breach upon Uzza, and one calleth that place 'Breach of 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 feareth God on that day, saying, 'How do I bring in unto me the ark of God?'
13 Te dongah David loh thingkawng te David khopuei la amah neh puei voel pawt tih Ghitti Obededom imkhui la a hooi.
And David hath not turned aside the ark unto himself, unto the city of David, and turneth it aside unto 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 dwelleth with the household of Obed-Edom, in his house, three months, and Jehovah blesseth the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he hath.
