1 Thusimbu 13

1 David in asepai sangkhat chung a lamkai hole jakhat chung a lamkai ho chu thu adong toh soh kei in ahi.

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

2 Chuin aman Israel mite jouse kom a chun hitin asei e, “Nangho le Pakai Pathen lunglam ahile Israel mite chenna jouse a Thempu ho le levi mite jaona a ibon chaova iki-khop khom soh theina diu vin thu lhangsapna nei u hite,” ati.

And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If [it seem] good unto you, and [that it be] of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, [that are] left in all the land of Israel, and with them [also] to the priests and Levites [which are] in their cities [and] suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:

3 Saul lengvai poh lai in Pathen kitepna thingkong chu nahsah mon ana umjongleh tuhi anung lahphat tah chu ahi.

And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul.

4 Akihoukhom mipi jousen hichu pha asah utoh kilhon in abon chaovin boldin kinopto na anei taove.

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

5 Hitichun David in Pathen thingkong chu nung put lut kit na ding in Kiriath Jeriam mun a kon in muntin a Israel mite aumnao Egypt lhanglam gam shehor vadung a pat chule sahlam gam Lebohamath khopi vel dung a kon abon'uva ahung kikhop khom nadiu vin kouna anei in ahi.

So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim.

6 Pathen thingkong nunglah kit nading in David le Israel mite chun Judah gam Baalah Kiriath jeriam tiajong kikou mun a chun ana cheu vin ahi.

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 cherubims, whose name is called [on it].

7 Chuin amahon Pathen thingkong chu Abinadab insung a kon in ahin la doh un bongkang thah leh a akoi uve. Chule hiche bongkang chu Uzzah le Ahio tenin ahin tol lhon in ahi.

And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.

8 Hichun David le Israel mipite chun Pathen ang ah kipah le thanom tah in la asauvin, selangdah le semjang asaiyun, khongle dah chule kipa khutbeh toh thon saki pengkul ana mut uvin ahi.

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 Ahivang in amahon Nacon changphol lai ahin phah u chun bongchal chu ahung kipal lhun Uzzah in Pathen thingkong chu tuh ding in akhut ana lhang in ahi.

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

10 Uzzah in Pathen thingkong chung a akhut ajah a pat in achung a Pakai lunghan na ana chutan hijeh chun Pathen in Uzzah adeng in ama angsung a ana thiden tan ahi.

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 Pakai in Uzzah chung a alunghan na aphon jal jeh chun David jong analung nalheh jeng in ahi. Hijeh chun David in hilai mun chu Perez- Uzzah asah in ahi, hichu Uzzah kisuh gep namun tin tuni gei in akikou in ahi.

And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to this day.

12 Chule David kicha tah a aumphat chun Pathen adong in aseitai. Pathen thing kong chu eti keiman kaga nunglah kit a kakom a kakoi ngam ding ham ati.

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

13 Hijeh chun David injong Pathen thingkong chu David khopia poh lut joh sangin Gath mipa Obed-edom insung a analhut jotan ahi.

So David brought not the ark [home] to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

14 Hiti chun Pathen thingkong chu lhathum Obed-edom insung a ana umden in hiche sung chun Pakai in Obed-edom insung mite chu anatoh nalam cheh uva phatthei anaboh in ahi.

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.
