1 Chronicles 15
1 He made also houses for himself in the city of David: and built a place for the ark of God, and pitched a tabernacle for it.
Amah ham im te David khopuei ah a sak. Pathen thingkawng ham hmuen a saelh tih te ham te dap a tuk pah.
2 Then David said: No one ought to carry the ark of God, but the Levites, whom the Lord hath chosen to carry it, and to minister unto himself for ever.
David loh, “Levi bueng pawt atah Pathen kah thingkawng te koh ham moenih. Amih tah BOEIPA kah thingkawng aka kawt ham neh kumhal due amah taengah aka thotat ham BOEIPA loh a coelh coeng,” a ti.
3 And he gathered all Israel together into Jerusalem, that the ark of God might be brought into its place, which he had prepared for it.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA thingkawng te a saelh pah a hmuen la khuen ham David loh Israel pum te Jerusalem ah a tingtun sak.
4 And the sons of Aaron also, and the Levites.
Te vaengah David loh Aaron neh Levi koca te a coi.
5 Of the children of Caath, Uriel was the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty.
Kohath koca lamloh mangpa Uriel neh a manuca he ya pakul.
6 Of the sons of Merari, Asaia the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty.
Merari koca lamloh mangpa Asaiah neh a manuca yahnih pakul.
7 Of the sons of Gersom, Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty.
Gershom koca lamloh mangpa Joel neh a manuca ya sawmthum.
8 Of the sons of Elisaphan, Semeias the chief: and his brethren two hundred.
Elizaphan koca lamloh mangpa Shemaiah neh a manuca yahnih.
9 Of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief: and his brethren eighty.
Hebron koca lamloh mangpa Eliel neh a manuca sawmrhet.
10 Of the sons of Oziel, Aminadab the chief: and his brethren a hundred and twelve.
Uzziel koca lamloh mangpa Amminadab neh a manuca ya hlai nit.
11 And David called Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, and the Levites, Uriel, Asaia, Joel, Semeia, Eliel, and Aminadab:
David loh khosoih Zadok neh Abiathar te khaw, Levi, Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, Amminadab te khaw a khue.
12 And he said to them: You that are the heads of the Levitical families, be sanctified with your brethren, and brine the ark of the Lord the God of Israel to the place, which is prepared for it:
Te vaengah amih te, “Nangmih tah Levi napa rhoek kah a lu rhoek ni. Namamih neh na manuca rhoek khaw ciim uh lamtah Israel Pathen BOEIPA kah thingkawng te ka saelh nah la khuen uh.
13 Lest as the Lord at first struck us, because you were not present, the same should now also come to pass, by our doing some thing against the law.
Balae tih lamhma vaengah na om uh pawh. Laitloeknah bangla amah te n'toem uh pawt dongah mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA tah mamih taeng lamloh pung coeng,” a ti nah.
14 So the priests and the Levites were sanctified, to carry the ark of the Lord the God of Israel.
Te dongah Israel Pathen BOEIPA kah thingkawng koh ham te khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek tah ciim uh.
15 And the sons of Levi took the ark of God as Moses had commanded, according to the word of the Lord, upon their shoulders, with the staves.
Te dongah Pathen thingkawng te Moses kah a uen bangla BOEIPA ol dongah Levi koca rhoek loh a laengpang dongah a hnokohcung neh a koh uh.
16 And David spoke to the chiefs of the Levites, to appoint some of their brethren to be singers with musical instruments, to wit, on psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, that the joyful noise might resound on high.
David loh Levi mangpa rhoek taengah amah boeinaphung te lumlaa kah a tumbael neh thangpa neh, rhotoeng neh tlaklak neh aka hlai khaw, kohoenah ol neh pomsang ham aka yaak sak khaw a pai sak ham te a thui pah.
17 And they appointed Levites, Hemam the son of Joel, and of his brethren Asaph the son of Barachias: and of the sons of Merari, their brethren: Ethan the son of Casaia.
Te dongah Levi rhoek loh Joel capa Heman neh a manuca khui lamkah Berekiah capa Asaph, a manuca Merari koca lamkah Kushaiah capa Ethan a tuek uh.
18 And with them their brethren: in the second rank, Zacharias, and Ben, and Jaziel, and Semiramoth, and Jahiel, and Ani, and Eliab, and Banaias, and Maasias, and Mathathias, and Eliphalu, and Macenias, and Obededom, and Jehiel, the porters.
Amih neh a manuca rhoek hmatoeng ah Zekhariah koca, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obededom neh thoh tawt Jeiel.
19 Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, sounded with cymbals of brass.
Laa neh aka hlai Heman, Asaph neh Ethan loh rhohum tlaklak neh a yaak sak.
20 And Zacharias, and Oziel, and Semiramoth, and Jehiel, and Ani, and Eliab, and Maasias, and Banaias, sung mysteries upon psalteries.
Zekhariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, Benaiah loh Alamoth thangpa neh.
21 And Mathathias, and Eliphalu, and Macenias and Obededom, and Jehiel and Ozaziu, sung a song of victory for the octave upon harps.
Rhotoeng neh parhet bangla aka mawt, Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obededom, Jeiel, Azaziah.
22 And Chonenias chief of the Levites, presided over the prophecy, to give out the tunes: for he was very skillful.
Amah loh a yakming dongah olrhuh neh aka toel Levi kah olrhuh mangpa Kenaniah.
23 And Barachias, and Elcana, were doorkeepers of the ark.
Thingkawng hamla thoh tawt Berekiah neh Elkanah.
24 And Sebenias, and Josaphat, and Nathanael, and Amasai, and Zacharias, and Banaias, and Eliezer the priests, sounded with trumpets, before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehias were porters of the ark.
Pathen thingkawng hmai ah olueng aka ueng khosoih Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zekhariah, Benaiah neh Eliezer. Thingkawng ham thoh tawt te Obededom neh Jehiah.
25 So David and all the ancients of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the house of Obededom with joy.
Te phoeiah David khaw, Israel kah a hamca rhoek khaw, mangpa thawngkhat khaw, Obededom im lamkah BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng te kohoenah neh khuen hamla cet uh.
26 And when God had helped the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, they offered in sacrifice seven oxen, and seven rams.
Pathen loh BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng aka kawt Levi rhoek te a bom. Te dongah vaito pumrhih neh tutal pumrih a nawn uh.
27 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that carried the ark, and the singing men, and Chonenias the ruler of the prophecy among the singers: and David also had on him an ephod of linen.
Te vaengah David khaw, thingkawng aka kawt Levi boeih khaw, laa sa rhoek khaw, olrhuh neh aka hlai mangpa Kenaniah khaw baibok hnikul neh yol uh tih David loh takhlawk hnisui a bai thil.
28 And all Israel brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord with joyful shouting, and sounding with the sound of the comet, and with trumpets, and cymbals, and psalteries, and harps.
Te vaengah Israel pum loh BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng te tamlung neh, tuki ol neh, olueng neh, tlaklak neh, thangpa, rhotoeng a tum uh tih cet uh.
29 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come to the city of David, Michol the daughter of Saul looking out at a window, saw king David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.
BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng te David khopuei la a kun vaengah Saul canu Mikhal loh bangbuet lamkah a dan. Te vaengah manghai David a cungpet neh a luem te a hmuh tih anih te a lungbuei ah a sawtsit.
