1 Chronicles 15
1 And David made him houses in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.
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: 'None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites; for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of the LORD, and to minister unto Him 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 David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto 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 David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites;
Te vaengah David loh Aaron neh Levi koca te a coi.
5 of the sons of Kohath: Uriel 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: Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty;
Merari koca lamloh mangpa Asaiah neh a manuca yahnih pakul.
7 of the sons of Gershom: 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 Elizaphan: Shemaiah 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 fourscore;
Hebron koca lamloh mangpa Eliel neh a manuca sawmrhet.
10 of the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twelve.
Uzziel koca lamloh mangpa Amminadab neh a manuca ya hlai nit.
11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,
David loh khosoih Zadok neh Abiathar te khaw, Levi, Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, Amminadab te khaw a khue.
12 and said unto them: 'Ye are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, unto the place that I have 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 For because ye bore it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought Him not according to the ordinance.'
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 sanctified themselves to bring up 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 children of the Levites bore the ark of God upon their shoulders with the bars thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.
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 chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren the singers, with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up the voice with joy.
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 So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;
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 of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphalehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers.
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 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed, with cymbals of brass to sound aloud;
Laa neh aka hlai Heman, Asaph neh Ethan loh rhohum tlaklak neh a yaak sak.
20 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries set to Alamoth;
Zekhariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, Benaiah loh Alamoth thangpa neh.
21 and Mattithiah, and Eliphalehu, and Mikneiahu, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith, to lead.
Rhotoeng neh parhet bangla aka mawt, Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obededom, Jeiel, Azaziah.
22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the song; he was master in the song, because he was skilful.
Amah loh a yakming dongah olrhuh neh aka toel Levi kah olrhuh mangpa Kenaniah.
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were door-keepers for the ark.
Thingkawng hamla thoh tawt Berekiah neh Elkanah.
24 And Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for 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 the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obed-edom 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 it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they sacrificed seven bullocks and seven rams.
Pathen loh BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng aka kawt Levi rhoek te a bom. Te dongah vaito pumrhih neh tutal pumrhih a nawn uh.
27 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the singers in the song; and David had upon 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 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the horn, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with 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 it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and making merry; 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.
