< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 Once again David called up all specially chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand in total.
Devit ni Isarelnaw thung dawk hoi a rawi e 3,000 touh hah a pâkhueng.
2 He went with all his men to Baalah in Judah to bring back the Ark of God, which belongs to the Lord Almighty who sits between the cherubim that are on the Ark.
Devit ni a thaw teh, Judah ram e Baalejudah hoi Cherubim rahak kaawm e ransahu BAWIPA min lahoi kaw e Cathut e thingkong hah thokhai hanelah ama koe kaawmnaw hoi a cei awh.
3 They placed the Ark of God on a new cart and brought it from Abinadab's house, which was on a hill. Uzzah and Ahio, Abinadab's sons, were directing the cart
Cathut e thingkong teh leng katha dawk a hruek awh teh, mon e Abinadab im thung e a rasa awh. Abinadab capa Uzzah hoi Ahio ni leng katha a tanawt roi.
4 with the Ark of God on it, with Ahio walking in front of it.
Uzzah teh Cathut e thingkong e ateng thoseh, Ahio teh thingkong hmalah thoseh a cei.
5 David and all the Israelites were celebrating in the Lord's presence, singing songs accompanied by zithers, harps, tambourines, rattles, and cymbals.
Devit hoi Isarelnaw teh ratoung, tamawi, tâbaw, vovit, cecak naw a sin awh teh, BAWIPA e hmalah thaothue hoi a tumkhawng awh.
6 But when they came to the threshing floor of Nachon, the oxen stumbled, so Uzzah reached out to stop the Ark of God from falling.
Nakhon hmuen a pha awh toteh, maito roi ni Cathut e thingkong a kâhuet sak dawkvah, Uzzah ni a kut hoi thingkong hah a kuet.
7 The Lord was angry with Uzzah, and God struck him down right there for his disobedience, and he died beside the Ark of God.
BAWIPA ni Uzzah koe a lungkhuek teh a payonnae kecu dawk Cathut ni haw e hmuen koe a thei teh, Cathut e thingkong koevah a due.
8 David was angry because of the Lord's violent outburst against Uzzah. He called the place Perez-uzzah, which is still its name today.
Uzzah hah BAWIPA ni a thei dawkvah, Devit a lungkhuek teh hote hmuen teh Perez Uzzah telah ati, sahnin totouh a dei awh.
9 David became afraid of the Lord that day. “How can I ever bring back the Ark of God home to me?” he asked.
Hot hnin dawkvah, Devit ni BAWIPA a taki teh, bangtelamaw BAWIPA thingkong hah kai koe a pha thai han telah ati.
10 Not wanting to bring the Ark of the Lord to be with him in the City of David, he had it taken to the home of Obed-edom the Gittite.
Devit ni BAWIPA thingkong teh, Devit kho dawk hrueng laipalah Git tami Obed-Edom im vah a hruek.
11 The Ark of the Lord remained in Obed-edom's home for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom's whole household.
BAWIPA thingkong teh Git tami Obed-Edom im vah thapa yung thum touh ao. Obed-Edom hoi a imthung pueng BAWIPA ni yawhawi a poe.
12 King David was told, “The Lord has blessed Obed-edom's household and all that he has because of the Ark of God.” So David went and had the Ark of God brought from Obed-edom's house to the City of David. There was a lot of celebration!
Siangpahrang Devit koevah, Cathut thingkong lahoi Obededom imthung hoi a im hoi lawnaw pueng BAWIPA ni yawhawi a poe tie a dei pouh awh. Bout a cei teh Devit ni Cathut e thingkong hah Obededom im dawk hoi Devit kho lah lunghawicalah hoi a sin.
13 After those carrying the Ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf.
BAWIPA e thingkong kahrawmnaw teh vai taruk touh a takan hnukkhu hoi, maitotan hoi kathâw e tu hoi thuengnae a sak awh.
14 Wearing a priest's ephod, David danced as hard as he could before the Lord
Devit ni Ephod hah a kho teh thaonae abuemlahoi BAWIPA hmalah a lam.
15 as he and all the Israelites brought along the Ark of the Lord, with plenty of shouting and the sound of horns being blown.
Hottelah Devit hoi Isarelnaw ni a hrawm awh. Mongka ueng laihoi, BAWIPA e thingkong hah a ceikhai awh.
16 As the Ark of the Lord was carried into the City of David, Saul's daughter Michal looked down from a window. She watched King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, and she really loathed him.
BAWIPA e thingkong teh Devit kho a kâen navah, Sawl e canu Mikhal ni hlalangaw dawk hoi a khet teh Devit siangpahrang BAWIPA hmalah a lam teh a dawkcawk laihoi a tho e hah a hmu navah, a lungthung hoi banglahai noutna hoeh e lah a pouk.
17 They brought the Ark of the Lord and put it on its place inside the tent that David had set up for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and friendship offerings before the Lord.
BAWIPA e thingkong a kâenkhai awh teh a hruek awh nahan Devit ni a yap e hni thung amae hmuen dawk a hruek awh teh, Devit ni hmaisawi thuengnae hoi roum thuengnae a sak.
18 Once he had finished offering the sacrifices, David blessed the people in the name of the Lord Almighty.
Devit ni hmaisawi thuengnae hoi roum thuengnae a sak hnukkhu, ransahu BAWIPA min lahoi taminaw pueng yawhawinae a poe.
19 He gave all the Israelites, both men and women, a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. Then he sent everyone home.
Isarelnaw tongpa napui pueng koe vaiyei phen buet touh, moi ham buet touh, misur phen buet touh a rei hnukkhu, tami pueng amamanaw onae koe koung a cei awh.
20 When David got home to bless his family, Michal, Saul's daughter came out to meet him and said, “How distinguished the king of Israel made himself look today, taking off his robes so everyone's servant girls could see, just as somebody crude would expose himself!”
Devit teh a imthungnaw yawhawi poe hanelah a cei teh a pha navah, Sawl e canu Mikhal ni a dawn. Sahnin e Isarel siangpahrang teh a sungrenpoung. Kayayeirai ka panuek hoeh e patetlah a sannu a sanpanaw e hmaitung vah caici lah doeh ao telah ati.
21 David told Michal, “I was dancing before the Lord, who chose me instead of your father and all his family when he named me ruler over the Lord's people Israel. I will continue to celebrate before the Lord,
Devit ni a na pa hoi na imthung pueng e a yueng lah na rawi e lah ka o teh, BAWIPA e tami Isarelnaw lathueng siangpahrang lah na karawikung BAWIPA e hmalah ka sak mahoeh na maw. BAWIPA hmalah tumkhawng roeroe hanelah ao, telah atipouh.
22 in fact I'm going to make myself even less distinguished, become even more humble. However, I will be respected by those servant girls you spoke about.”
Hethlak hai kayakhai hane kawilah ka o han, kama hoi kama totouh hai kâkayakhai han. Na dei e sannunaw ni teh kai hah na oup awh han telah Mikhal hah bout a dei pouh.
23 And Michal, Saul's daughter, never had any children.
Hatdawkvah, Sawl canu Mikhal teh a due totouh ca sak hoeh toe.
