< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 David loh hlang boeih a coi tih Israel khuikah te thawng sawmthum a coelh.
And David assembled again all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 Te phoeiah caempuei BOEIPA ming la a ming a khue tih a soah Cherub loh a ngol thil, Pathen thingkawng te te lamloh Baale-Judah la khuen ham David te hlah uh tih amah taengkah pilnam te boeih a caeh puei.
And David arose, and went with all the people who were with him from Ba'ale-yehudah, to bring up from there the ark of God, the name of which was called by the name of the Lord of hosts, that dwelleth over the cherubim.
3 Pathen thingkawng te leng a thai dongah a hol uh tih som kah Abinadab im lamloh a khuen uh. Te vaengah leng a thai te Abinadab capa Uzzah neh Ahio loh a hmaithawn.
And they conveyed the ark of God in a new wagon, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was on the hill; and 'Uzzah and Achyo, the sons of Abinadab, guided the new wagon.
4 Som kah Abinadab im lamloh Pathen thingkawng a khuen uh vaengah te Ahio te thingkawng hmai ah cet.
When they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was on the hill, [they were] near the ark of God; but Achyo went before the ark.
5 David neh Israel imkhui pum loh BOEIPA kah mikhmuh ah hmaical thing, rhotoeng, thangpa, kamrhing, tingkoei, tlaklak neh boeih luem uh.
And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of fir-wood, and on harps, and on psalteries, and on tambourines, and with bells, and with cymbals.
6 Nakhawn a pha uh vaengah vaito loh a soek uh hatah Pathen kah thingkawng te Uzzah loh a cuk thil tih a tuuk.
And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nachon, 'Uzzah put forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.
7 Te vaengah BOEIPA kah a thintoek te vik sai. Te dongah Uzzah te Pathen loh pahoi a ngawn. A lolhnah a om dongah Pathen kah thingkawng taengah pahoi duek.
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against 'Uzzah; and God smote him there for the error; and he died there by the ark of God.
8 BOEIPA loh Uzzah puut te a va dongah David lungoe. Te dongah tekah hmuen te ti hnin due Perezuzzah la a khue.
And it was grievous to David, because the Lord had suddenly taken away 'Uzzah; and he called that place Perez-'uzzah [[Breach of 'Uzzah]] until this day.
9 Te khohnin vaengah David loh BOEIPA te a rhih coeng tih, “BOEIPA kah thingkawng loh kai taengah ha pawk thai aya?” a ti.
And David was afraid of the Lord on that day, and said, How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?
10 BOEIPA thingkawng te David khopuei ah amah taengla khuen ham David loh huem pawh. Tedae David loh Ghitti Obededom im la a thak.
So David would not allow to have the ark of the Lord removed unto him into the city of David; but David had it carried round into the house of 'Obed-edom the Gittite.
11 BOEIPA thingkawng tah Ghitti Obededom im ah hla thum yalh. Te vaengah Obededom neh a imkhui pum te BOEIPA loh yoe a then sak.
And the ark of the Lord remained in the house of 'Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and the Lord blessed 'Obed-edom, and all his household.
12 Te dongah manghai David taengla puen uh tih, “BOEIPA loh Pathen kah thingkawng kongah Obededom imkhui neh a taeng om boeih te yoe a then sak,” a ti nah. Te daengah David te suntla tih Pathen thingkawng te Obededom im lamloh David Khopuei la kohoenah neh a khuen.
And it was told to king David, saying, The Lord hath blessed the house of 'Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God: and David then went and brought up the ark of God from the house of 'Obed-edom into the city of David with joy.
13 BOEIPA thingkawng aka kawt rhoek te kan rhuk a kan phoeiah tah vaito a puetsuet te a ngawn thil.
And it happened, that when the bearers of the ark of the Lord had progressed six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.
14 David khaw a sarhi boeih neh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah lam. Te vaengah David loh takhlawk hnisui te a vah.
And David danced with all his might before the Lord; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15 David neh Israel imkhui tom loh BOEIPA thingkawng te tamlung neh, tuki ol neh a caeh puei uh.
So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the cornet.
16 BOEIPA thingkawng te David khopuei khuila a pawk vaengah Saul canu Mikhal loh bangbuet lamkah a dan. Te vaengah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah manghai David soipet tih a lam te a hmuh. Te dongah anih te a lungbuei khuiah a sawtsit.
And it happened, as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked through the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.
17 BOEIPA thingkawng te David loh a tuk dap khui la a khuen uh tih amah hmuen ah a khueh uh. Te phoeiah hmueihhlutnah neh rhoepnah hmueih te David loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a khuen.
And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt-offerings before the Lord and peace-offerings.
18 Hmueihhlutnah neh rhoepnah hmueih a tloeng te a coeng phoeiah tah pilnam te David loh caempuei BOEIPA ming neh yoethen a paek.
And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19 Israel hlangping boeih khuikah pilnam boeih te huta khaw tongpa khaw, hlang pakhat rhip taengah, vaidam laep, buhham neh maehcaeng pakhat, yukhap rhip a tael. Te phoeiah pilnam boeih te amah im la boeih cet uh.
And he dealt out to all the people, to the whole multitude of Israel, to both men and women, to every person one cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine: and all the people departed every one to his house.
20 A imkhui te yoethen paek ham David a mael vaengah Saul canu Mikhal te David doe ham ha thawn uh tih, “Israel manghai tihnin ah bahoeng a thangpom a! A salnu salpa mikhmuh ah tihnin ah a hni a pit he, a hong bangla a hni a pit khaw a pit rhoe he,” a ti nah.
And David then returned to bless his household. But Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and she said, How honored was today the king of Israel, who uncovered himself today before the eyes of the hand-maids of his servants, as only one of the low fellows can uncover himself!
21 David loh Mikhal te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah, “Kai he tah na pa lakah khaw, a imkhui boeih lamkah long khaw amah long ni n'tuek. Kai he BOEIPA kah pilnam so neh, Israel soah rhaengsang la ng'uen dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ka luem ni ta.
And David said unto Michal, Before the Lord, who chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to ordain me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel: —yea, before the Lord will I yet farther play.
22 He lakah muep ka tahoeng vetih ka mikhmuh ah tlarhoel la ka om ni. Tedae salnu na thui rhoek long te kai n'thangpom bitni,” a ti nah.
And should I be yet more vile than thus, and should I be base in my own eyes: yet among the maid-servants of whom thou hast spoken, yea, among them would I still be honored.
23 Te dongah Saul canu Mikhal tah a dueknah hnin hil a taengah camoe om pawh.
And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child until the day of her death.
