< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 Chuin David in avellin Israel mi galhang sangsom thum kilhengdoh ho chu akoukhom kit in ahi.
Then David again gathered together all the elect men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 David in amaho chu alamkai in Judah gamma Baalah kom a Pathen thingkong chu gale poh din achi taovin ahi, hichu van pathen sepai ho minna kikou, alai a Cherubim lal touna um chu ahi.
And David arose and went away, with the entire people who were with him from the men of Judah, so that they might lead back the ark of God, over which is invoked the name of the Lord of hosts, who sits upon the cherubim above it.
3 Hichun Pathen thingkong chu bongkang thah chungah aheng un chule molchung lamma Abinadab’s in akon ahinpudoh taovin, chule Abinadab’s chapateni Uzzah le Ahio chun bongkang chu ahintol lhon in ahi.
And they placed the ark of God on a new cart. And they took it from the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeon. And Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4 Pathen thingkong kipoh nachu. Chule Ahio chu thingkong masangah achin ahi.
And when they had taken it from the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeon, Ahio preceded the ark as the keeper of the ark of God.
5 Chuin David le Israel mipi jouse chun Pakai masangah la a asaovin, chule tumging thei jouse – pengkul, selangdah, khongpi, selki, chule sumlheng jouse suging pummin golnup abol taovin ahi.
But David and all of Israel played before the Lord on every kind of musical instrument made of wood, and on harps, and lyres, and timbrels, and bells, and cymbals.
6 Ahinlah amahon Nacon changphol mun ahin phah uchun bongchal teni chu akipal lhu lhonin ahileh Uzzah chun akhut ajahdoh gangchal in Pathen thingkong chu atuh tan ahi.
And after they had arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah extended his hand to the ark of God, and he touched it, because the oxen were kicking and had caused it to tip.
7 Hichun Pathen lunghan nachu Uzzah chungah achutan hijeh chun Pathennin Uzzah chu amun maman Pathen thingkong komah chun athat tan ahi.
And the indignation of the Lord was enraged against Uzzah. And he struck him for his temerity. And there he died, beside the ark of God.
8 Pathenin Uzzah chunga alunghan ahinbuh lhah jeng jeh chun David alung phamo lheh tan ahi. hijeh chun aman hiche mun chu Perez – Uzzah asah tan ahi (hichu Uzzah chunga thunoh lhunna mun tin na ahi), tuni chanin akisaah tan ahi.
Then David was saddened because the Lord had struck Uzzah. And the name of that place was called: the Striking of Uzzah, even to this day.
9 Hiche thilsoh jou apet chun David in Pakai chu akicha lheh tan, hijeh chun aman Pakai chu adong tan ahi, “eti keiman Pakai thing kong hi keima vetsui nanoi a kahin le choilut thei ding ham?” ati.
And David was very fearful of the Lord on that day, saying, “How shall the ark of the Lord be brought to me?”
10 Hijeh chun David in Pakai thingkong chu David khopi a pohlut lou din pha asah tai. Hinlah Gath mi Obed – edom insung injoh apolut tan ahi.
And he was not willing to send the ark of the Lord to himself in the city of David. Instead, he sent it into the house of Obededom, the Gittite.
11 Pakai thingkong chu Obed – edom insungah lhathum sung aumden nalai in, hijeh chun Obed – edom le a insung pumpi chu Pakai Pathen in phatthei abohtan ahi.
And the ark of the Lord dwelt in the house of Obededom the Gittite, for three months. And the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household.
12 Hichun leng David chu hitin akiseipih tan ahi, “Pakaiyin Obed – edom’s insung pumpi le aneijouse phatthei abohtan ahi Pathen thingkong jeh chun.” Hijeh chun David jong achin Pathen thingkong chu Obed – edom insunga kon david khopi lammah kipa golnup loupi tah pummin ahin potan ahi.
And it was reported to king David that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that was his, because of the ark of God. Therefore, David went and brought the ark of God, from the house of Obededom, into the city of David with joy. And there were with David seven choirs, and calves for victims.
13 Chuin Pakai thingkong puhon kalgup ason jou un, David in bongchal le bongnou thaochat in kilhaina aboltan ahi.
And when those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had traveled six steps, he immolated an ox and a ram.
14 Chuin David chun thempu ho sangkhol chol akiah in atha neina jouse pummin Pakai angsungah alam tan ahi.
And David danced with all his ability before the Lord. And David was girded with the linen ephod.
15 Hichun David le Israel mipi jouse chun Pakai thingkong chu kipah thong jeju le kelchaki mutging toh thon aputou taovin ahi.
And David, and all the house of Israel, were leading the ark of the testament of the Lord, with jubilation and the sound of the trumpet.
16 Ahin Pakai thingkong chu David khopi alhut taovin ahileh, Saul chanu Michal chun abang kot akon ahin suhvet tan ahi. chuin amanun leng David Pakai angsunga akhut alea alam chu amutan ahileh amanu chu David chung ngah lung himo nana dim tan ahi.
And when the ark of the Lord had entered into the city of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looking out through a window, saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord. And she despised him in her heart.
17 Chuin Pakai thingkong chu ahin puvin David in akoi nadia asem ponbuh sungah chun akoi taovin ahi. chuin David in Pakai angah kilhainan govam thilto le chamna thilto aneitan ahi.
And they led in the ark of the Lord. And they set it in its place in the middle of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it. And David offered holocausts and peace offerings in the sight of the Lord.
18 Chuin kilhaina abolchai in, David in mipi jouse chu van Pathen minin phatthei aboh taovin ahi.
And when he had completed offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19 Chuin Israel pasal jouse le numei jouse chu changlhah phengkhat cheh, sachan khat cheh, le lengpi theija kisem changlhah khat cheh ahoppih un ahi. chujouvin mipi jouse chu a inlam cheh un akile taovin ahi.
And he distributed to the entire multitude of Israel, as much to men as to women, to each one: one loaf of bread, and one piece of roasted beef, and fine wheat flour fried with oil. And all the people went away, each one to his own house.
20 Hitichun David’in ama insung mite phattheiboh ding tia inlam akile chun, Saul chanu Michal ama kimupi din ahungpot doh in ahi. amanun jalou tah in hitin aseiye, “eti jachat um hitam tuni Israel lengpan mingol khat in abol ding tabanga asaguhkiuva asoh numeiho masanga aum jeng chu!” ati.
And David returned, so that he might bless his own house. And Michal, the daughter of Saul, going out to meet David, said: “How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself before the handmaids of his servants, and being unclothed, as if one of the performers were unclothed.”
21 Chuin David in Michal chu alethuh in, “keima Pakai napa te le ainsung mite jouse chung vum'a eilhengpa! Pathen mi Israel te chunga lamkai dia eingansepa masanga chu kipah a lam kahi ati.
And David said to Michal: “Before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father, and rather than his entire house, and who commanded me, that I should be the leader over the people of the Lord in Israel,
22 Henge, hisanga ngoljo a umding jong kanome chule keima mitmutah a kineosah ding jong! Ahin soh numei naminphah ho vang chun keimahi chingtah a eigel diu ahi! ati.
I will both play and demean myself, more so than I have done. And I will be little in my own eyes. And with the handmaids, about whom you are speaking, I will appear more glorious.”
23 Hitichun Saul chanu Michal chu ahinkho lhumkei jin chaneilou vin aum tan ahi.
And so, there was no child born to Michal, the daughter of Saul, even to the day of her death.
