1 Chronicles 15
1 David constructed buildings for himself in the City of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it.
Devit ni Devit khopui vah ama hane im a sak teh Cathut e thingkong ao nahane hmuen hah a rakueng pouh teh lukkareiim a yap pouh.
2 Then David said, “No one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, because the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of the LORD and to minister before Him forever.”
Devit ni Cathut e thingkong heh Levihnaw hoeh laipalah teh, apinihai kâkayawn thai mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut e thingkong teh meng kâkayawt hane hoi a thaw ka tawk hanelah BAWIPA ni a rawi e naw doeh telah a ti.
3 And David assembled all Israel in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the LORD to the place he had prepared for it.
Devit ni BAWIPA e thing kong ta nahane a rakueng pouh e hmuen koevah, ceikhai hanelah Jerusalem vah Isarelnaw pueng a pâkhueng.
4 Then he gathered together the descendants of Aaron and the Levites:
Hatdawkvah, Devit ni Aron e casaknaw hoi Levih casaknaw hah a pâkhueng. awh.
5 From the Kohathites, Uriel the chief and 120 of his relatives;
Kohath e casaknaw thung kacuepoung e Uriel hoi a hmaunawngha 120 touh a pha
6 from the Merarites, Asaiah the chief and 220 of his relatives;
Merari casaknaw thung kacuepoung e Asaiah hoi a hmaunawnghanaw 220 touh a pha awh.
7 from the Gershomites, Joel the chief and 130 of his relatives;
Gershom e casaknaw thung dawk kacuepoung e Joel hoi a hmaunawnghanaw 130 touh a pha awh.
8 from the Elizaphanites, Shemaiah the chief and 200 of his relatives;
Elizaphan casaknaw thung dawk kacuepoung e Shemaiah hoi a hmaunawnghanaw 200 touh a pha awh.
9 from the Hebronites, Eliel the chief and 80 of his relatives;
Hebron casaknaw thung dawk kacuepoung e Eliel hoi a hmaunawnghanaw 80 touh a pha awh.
10 and from the Uzzielites, Amminadab the chief and 112 of his relatives.
Uziel casaknaw thung dawk kacuepoung e Aminadab hoi a hmaunawnghanaw 112 touh a pha awh.
11 David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
Devit ni vaihma Zadok, Abiathar, Levih, Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, hoi Aminadab tinaw hai a kaw.
12 And he said to them, “You are the heads of the Levitical families. You and your relatives must consecrate yourselves so that you may bring the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, to the place I have prepared for it.
Nangmanaw teh Levihnaw thung dawk kacuepoung lah na o awh. Isarel BAWIPA Cathut e thingkong hah ka rakueng e hmuen koevah, thokhai hanelah nama hoi na hmaunawnghanaw kamthoung awh.
13 It was because you Levites were not with us the first time that the LORD our God burst forth in anger against us. For we did not consult Him about the proper order.”
Ahmaloe e dawk hai nangmouh ni na kâkayawt awh hoeh dawkvah BAWIPA Cathut ni mamouh dawk a lungkhueknae a pha sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, amae lamthung patetlah sak hane hah ama koe pacei awh hoeh telah a ti.
14 So the priests and Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Hatdawkvah, Isarel BAWIPA Cathut e thingkong hah kâkayawt hanelah vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw hah a kamthoung awh.
15 And the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles, as Moses had commanded in accordance with the word of the LORD.
BAWIPA kâpoe e Mosi ni a dei e patetlah Levihnaw ni a loung dawk hoi thingkong teh a kâkayawt awh.
16 David also told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their relatives as singers to lift up their voices with joy, accompanied by musical instruments—harps, lyres, and cymbals.
Devit ni Levih kacuenaw hah a hmaunawngha thung dawk hoi la ka sak hane, ratoung ka tum hane, tamawi, cecak, hoi kacaipounglah tumkhawng vaiteh, lunghawi nalaihoi la sak hanelah a dei pouh.
17 So the Levites appointed Heman son of Joel; from his brothers, Asaph son of Berechiah; from their brothers the Merarites, Ethan son of Kushaiah;
Hatdawkvah, Levihnaw ni Joel capa Heman hoi a hmaunawngha thung hoi Berekhiah e capa Asaph, a hmaunawngha Merari e capanaw thung hoi Kushaiah capa Etham hah a rawi awh.
18 and with them their brothers next in rank: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, and the gatekeepers Obed-edom and Jeiel.
Hmaunawnghanaw thung hoi Zekhariah casak Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obededom hoi tho ka ring e Jeiel tinaw a rawi awh.
19 The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were to sound the bronze cymbals.
Hatdawkvah, la ka sak hane Heman, Asaph, Ethan, hah cecak kacaipounglah tumkhawng hanelah a rawi awh.
20 Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play the harps according to Alamoth.
Zekhariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, Benaiah teh Alamoth lawk hoi ratoung tum hanelah a rawi awh.
21 And Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead the music with lyres according to Sheminith.
Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obededom, Jeiel, Azaziah teh Sheminith lawk lahoi tamawi hoi hrawi hanelah a rawi awh.
22 Chenaniah the head Levite was the director of the music because he was highly skilled.
Levihnaw kacue e Kenaniah, teh la sak a thoum la kahrawikung lah ao.
23 Berechiah and Elkanah were to be guardians of the ark.
Berekhiah hoi Elkanah teh thingkong tho karingkung lah ao roi.
24 Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer—the priests—were to blow the trumpets before the ark of God. Obed-edom and Jehiah were also to be guardians of the ark.
Vaihmanaw Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zekhariah, Benaiah hoi Eliezer naw ni Cathut e thingkong hmalah mongka a ueng awh. Hahoi, Obed-edom hoi Jehiah teh thingkong e longkha karingkung lah ao awh.
25 So David, the elders of Israel, and the commanders of thousands went with rejoicing to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-edom.
Hahoi Devit hoi Isarel kacuenaw ransa 1000 kauknaw teh Obededom im e BAWIPA thingkong la hanelah, lunghawi nalaihoi a cei awh.
26 And because God helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA thingkong kâkayawn e Levihnaw hah, Cathut ni a kabawp teh maitotan sari touh hoi, tutan sari touh hoi thuengnae a sak awh.
27 Now David was dressed in a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, as well as the singers and Chenaniah, the director of music for the singers. David also wore a linen ephod.
Devit hoi thingkong kâkayawn e Levihnaw pueng, la kasaknaw, la ka hrawi e Kenaniah naw teh, lukkarei loukloukkaang e hoi a kamthoup awh. Devit hai lukkarei loukloukkaang e vaihma angki hah a kho.
28 So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, with the sounding of rams’ horns and trumpets, and with cymbals and the music of harps and lyres.
Hottelah mongka hoi tu ki hoi, cecak lawk hoi a parawi awh teh, Isarelnaw pueng ni, hramki nalaihoi, BAWIPA lawkkam thingkong a ceikhai awh teh, la puenghoi a sak awh teh, ratoung tamawi kacaipounglah a tumkhawng awh.
29 As the ark of the covenant of the LORD was entering the City of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from a window and saw King David dancing and celebrating, and she despised him in her heart.
Hahoi BAWIPA lawkkam thingkong Devit kho dawk a kâenkhai awh navah, Sawl e canu Mikhal ni hlalangaw koehoi a khet navah, siangpahrang Devit a lamtu laihoi a cawkdawk e hah a hmu teh, a lungthung hoi a panuikhai.
