1 Chronicles 15

1 And he makes houses for himself in the City of David, and prepares a place for the Ark of God, and stretches out a tent for it.

David loe angmah hanah, David vangpui to sak moe, Sithaw ih thingkhong suekhaih kahni im doeh a sak.

2 Then David said, “None [are] to carry the Ark of God, except the Levites, for YHWH has fixed on them to carry the Ark of God and to serve Him for all time.”

To pacoengah David mah, Angraeng mah Sithaw thingkhong to aput moe, dungzan khoek to anih ih toksak hanah, Levi acaengnawk to qoih boeh pongah, Levi acaengnawk ai ah loe mi mah doeh apu thai mak ai, tiah a naa.

3 And David assembles all Israel to Jerusalem, to bring up the Ark of YHWH to its place that he had prepared for it.

David mah sak ih kahni im ah Sithaw ih thingkhong phawh hanah, David mah Israel kaminawk boih Jerusalem ah nawnto amkhuengsak.

4 And David gathers the sons of Aaron and the Levites—

David mah, Aaron ih caanawk hoi Levi acaengnawk to pakhueng boih.

5 of sons of Kohath: Uriel the chief and one hundred and twenty of his brothers;

Kohat acaeng, zaehoikung Uriel hoi anih ih caa cumvai pumphaeto,

10 of sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief and one hundred and twelve of his brothers.

Uzziel acaeng, zaehoikung Amminadab hoi anih ih caa cumvai hatlaihnetto oh o.

11 And David calls to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, and to the Levites, to Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,

To pacoeng ah David mah qaima Zadok hoi Abiathar; Levi acaeng Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel hoi Amminadab cae to kawk.

12 and says to them, “You [are] heads of the fathers of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, you and your brothers, and you have brought up the Ark of YHWH, God of Israel, to [the place] I have prepared for it;

Nihcae khaeah, Nangcae loe Levi acaeng zaehoikung kacoehta ah na oh o; nangmacae hoi nam nawkamyanawk loe ciimcai ah om o sak loe, Israel Angraeng Sithaw ih thingkhong to, ka sak ih ahmuen ah angzawnh oh.

13 because you [did] not [do it] at the first, our God YHWH made a breach on us, because we did not seek Him according to the ordinance.”

Nangcae loe canghniah to tiah na sah o ai, a thuih ih lok baktih toengah kawbangmaw ka sak o han? tiah lok a dueng o ai pongah, aicae Angraeng Sithaw loe aicae nuiah palungphui, tiah a naa.

14 And the priests and the Levites sanctify themselves to bring up the Ark of YHWH, God of Israel;

To pongah qaima hoi Levi acaengnawk loe Israel Angraeng Sithaw ih thingkhong aput hanah ciimcai ah oh o.

15 and sons of the Levites carry the Ark of God, as Moses commanded, according to the word of YHWH, above them with poles on their shoulder.

Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah paek ih lok baktih toengah, Levi acaengnawk mah Sithaw ih thingkhong to angzawnhaih thing hoiah palaeng ah aput o.

16 And David says to the heads of the Levites to appoint their brothers the singers, with instruments of song, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, sounding, to lift up with the voice for joy.

David mah Levi kacoehtanawk khaeah, atuen congca, aqui kapop katoeng, cingceng, tamoi kruekhaih hoiah anghoehaih laa to sak o moe, angmacae ih nawkamyanawk to tok paek hanah a thuih pae.

17 And the Levites appoint Heman son of Joel, and of his brothers, Asaph son of Berechiah, and of the sons of Merari their brothers, Ethan son of Kushaiah;

To pongah Levi acaengnawk mah angmacae nawkamya thung hoiah Joel capa Heman, angmah ih amnawk Berakiah capa Asaph; Merari acaeng thungah angmacae nawkamya Kushaiah capa Ethan;

18 and with them their brothers, the seconds [in rank]: Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah; and Obed-Edom and Jeiel the gatekeepers;

Hnetto haih ah kaom angmacae ih nawkamya Zekariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom hoi khongkha toepkung Jeiel cae hanah tok paek o.

19 and the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [are] to sound with cymbals of bronze;

To pongah Heman, Asaph hoi Ethan loe cingceng bopkung ah oh o;

20 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jeheil, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries over the girls’ [voices],

Zekariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah hoi Benaiah cae mah Alamoth katoeng to kruek o.

21 and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, to oversee with harps on the eighth.

Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel hoi Azaziah cae mah aqui kapop sheminith katoeng to kruek o.

22 And Chenaniah, head of the Levites, [is] over the burden; he instructs about the burden, for he [is] intelligent.

Levi zaehoikung lu koek, Kenaniah loe laasak zaehoikung ah oh; anih loe laa zaehhoihaih kop kami ah oh.

23 And Berechiah and Elkanah [are] gatekeepers for the Ark.

Berekiah hoi Elkanah loe Sithaw ih thingkhong akunhaih khongkha toepkung ah oh.

24 And Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the priests, are blowing with trumpets before the Ark of God; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah [are] gatekeepers for the Ark.

25 And it is David, and [the] elderly of Israel, and the heads of the thousands, who are going to bring up the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH from the house of Obed-Edom with joy;

To pongah David hoi Israel kacoehtanawk, kami sangto ukkungnawk loe, anghoehaih hoiah Obed-Edom imthung hoiah Sithaw lokkamhaih thingkhong to sinh hanah caeh o.

26 and it comes to pass, in God’s helping the Levites carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, that they sacrifice seven bullocks and seven rams.

Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong apu Levi acaengnawk to, Sithaw mah abomh boeh pongah, maitaw tae sarihto hoi tuutae sarihto angbawnhaih ah a paek o.

27 And David is wrapped in an upper robe of fine linen, and all the Levites who are carrying the Ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah head of the burden of the singers; and an Ephod of linen [is] on David.

David hoi Sithaw ih thingkhong apuu Levi acaengnawk, laasah kaminawk, laasah zaehoikung Kenaniah loe puu ngan khukbuen hoiah amthoep o; David doeh puu ngan kahni to angkhuk toeng.

28 And all of Israel is bringing up the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH with shouting, and with the sound of a horn, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding with psalteries and harps,

To tiah Israel kaminawk boih mah Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong to, hanghaih lok, tuu takii bohhaih lok, mongkah lok, cingceng lok hoi aqui kapop katoeng lok hoiah phawh o tahang.

29 and it comes to pass, the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH is entering into the City of David, and Michal daughter of Saul is looking through the window, and sees King David dancing and playing, and despises him in her heart.

Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong David vangpui thungah phak naah, Saul canu Mikael mah thokbuem hoiah khet; anih mah hnawh moe, anghoehaih hoiah kaom, David siangpahrang to hnuk naah, anih to palung thung hoiah khet patoek.
