1 Chronicles 13
1 Then David took counsel with the tribunes, and the centurions, and all the leaders.
David loh thawngkhat neh yakhat mangpa rhoek te khaw, rhaengsang boeih te khaw a uen.
2 And he said to the entire assembly of Israel: “If it pleases you, and if the words that I speak come from the Lord our God, let us send to the remainder of our brothers, in all the regions of Israel, and to the priests and Levites who live in the suburbs of the cities, so that they may gather to us.
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.
3 And let us bring back the ark of our God to us. For we did not seek it during the days of Saul.”
Saul tue vaengah te a toem uh pawt akhaw mamih Pathen kah thingkawng te mah taengla mael sak uh sih,” a ti nah.
4 And the entire multitude responded that it should be done. For the word had pleased all the people.
Te vaengah hlangping boeih loh,” Ol he pilnam boeih kah mikhmuh ah a dueng coeng dongah saii ham om tangloeng,” a ti uh.
5 Therefore, David gathered all of Israel, from Shihor of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, so as to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
Te dongah Kiriathjearim lamkah Pathen thingkawng koh hamla David loh Israel pum te Egypt Shihor lamloh Lebokhamath duela a tingtun sak.
6 And David ascended with all the men of Israel to the hill of Kiriath-jearim, which is in Judah, so that he might bring from there the ark of the Lord God, sitting upon the Cherubim, where his name is invoked.
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.
7 And they placed the ark of God upon a new cart from the house of Abinadab. Then Uzzah and his brother drove the cart.
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.
8 Now David and all of Israel were playing before God, with all of their ability, in songs, and with harps, and psalteries, and timbrels, and cymbals, and trumpets.
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.
9 And when they had arrived at the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out his hand, so that he might support the ark. For indeed, the ox being wanton had caused it to incline a little.
Khidon la a pawk uh vaengah tah vaito loh a soek dongah thingkawng te tuuk pah hamla Uzzah loh a kut a thueng.
10 And so the Lord became angry against Uzzah. And he struck him down because he had touched the ark. And he died there before the Lord.
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.
11 And David was greatly saddened because the Lord had divided Uzzah. And he called that place ‘the Division of Uzzah,’ even to the present day.
BOEIPA loh Uzzah puut te a va dongah David khaw sai. Te dongah te hmuen te tahae khohnin hil Perezuzzah la a khue.
12 And then he feared God, at that time, saying: “How will I be able to bring in the ark of God to myself?”
Te khohnin ah tah Pathen te David loh a rhih coeng tih, “Pathen thingkawng he ka taengla metlam ka khuen eh?” a ti.
13 And for this reason, he did not bring it to himself, that is, into the City of David. Instead, he turned aside to the house of Obededom, the Gittite.
Te dongah David loh thingkawng te David khopuei la amah neh puei voel pawt tih Ghitti Obededom imkhui la a hooi.
14 Therefore, the ark of God dwelt in the house of Obededom for three months. And the Lord blessed his house and all that he had.
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.
