1 Chronicles 16
1 They brought the Sacred Chest [to Gibeon] and put it inside the Sacred Tent that David had [told his workers to] set up. Then they brought offerings to be completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to enable them to maintain fellowship [with God].
Hichun amahon Pathen thingkong chu David in akoina dia ponbuh hoitah ason namun a chun ahin polut uvin ahi. Chua chun amahon Pathen a kilhai na pumgo thilto jong ana kat uvin ahi.
2 When David had finished presenting all those offerings, he [asked Yahweh to] bless the people.
David in kilhaina kin aneijou in amite chu Pakai min in phatthei aboh in ahi.
3 He gave a loaf of bread, some dates, and some raisins to every Israeli man and woman [who was there].
Chujouvin aman ami Israel te numei pasal abonchauvin changlhah alhang a kisem ahin, lengpithei ga’a kisem nehthei ana peh ahi.
4 Then David appointed some of the descendants of Levi to stand in front of [the Sacred Tent in which] the Sacred Chest [had been placed], to lead the people who worshiped and thanked and praised Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people.
David in Levi mite chu Pakai thingkong maiya Israel Pathen Pakai phattheina sima, a vahchoi lasah le thangvah ding in mipi jouse lamkai din ana pansah e.
5 Asaph, who played the cymbals, was their leader. Zechariah was his assistant. The other descendants of Levi [who helped Asaph] were Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel. They played lyres and harps.
Asaph chu amaho lah a lamkai ahin, amahin lasah na a kimang tumging sumeng kivo ging asai yin ahi. Amaban tah’a chu Zechariah ahin chule ama kithopi ding in Jeiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom le Jeiel ahiuve. Amaho hi semjang le selangdah sai a pang ahiuve.
6 Benaiah and Jahaziel were priests who blew trumpets frequently in front of [the Sacred Tent in which was] the Sacred Chest.
Chule Pathen thingkong kitepna masang a chun thempu Benaiah le Jahaziel chun tanglouvin sumkon ana mut lhon in ahi.
7 On that day, David gave to Asaph and his helpers this psalm to praise Yahweh:
David in hiche nikho chun Asaph le ami Levite chutoh Pakai a kipa na thangvah na lasah na ana peu vin ahi.
8 Thank God, and pray to him [MTY]. Tell the people of all nations what he has done.
Pakai chu thangvah na peuvin chule aloupina seiphong uvin vannoi leiset pumpin athibol jouse hecheh hen,
9 Sing to him; sing songs to praise him. Tell about all his miraculous deeds.
Thangvah toh thon ama vahchoi un chule namtin jouse chung a athilbol kidang ho hillhang uvin,
10 Be glad that you belong to him [MTY]; those who want to know Yahweh better should rejoice.
Amintheng chu hapah in kipapi un, eiho Pakai mite ehiuve,
11 Trust in Yahweh and in his power; continually seek to get help from him.
Tantih neilouvin Pakai thahatna chu holjing unlang hou uvin,
12 Do not forget the wonderful things that he has done, the miracles and the just laws that he has given to us.
Thil kidang tampi le datmo umtah aboldoh hole athu tan naho geldoh jing un,
13 We people are the descendants of his servant Jacob; we are the people of Israel whom he has chosen.
Nangho alhacha Israel chate ho chule Jacob son chilhah anam deilhen mite ho,
14 Yahweh is our God. His just/fair laws are known by people throughout the world.
Amahi eiho Pakai Pathen ahi, Ama thupeh dihtah hi vannoi jousen amu ding ahi.
15 He never forgets the agreement that he has made: he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations.
Aman aitih khang chan in jong akitepna agel doh jing in ahi,
16 That is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement to Isaac.
Hiche hi aman Abraham toh kitepna asem chu ahin chule Isaac heng a kitepna ana neichu ahi,
17 It was an agreement for the Israeli people, and he wanted that agreement to endure forever.
Aman hichu Jacob heng a Israel mite toh aitih khang gei a tonsot'a dia kitep na thulhuh le suhdetna ana nei ahi.
18 What he said was, “I will give the Canaan region to you, to belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
“Nangma chan ding goulo nading Canaan gam chu kapeh ding nahi,” ati.
19 [He said that to them] when there were only a few of them, a tiny group of people who were living in that land (like strangers/that belonged to other people);
Aman hiche aseilai chun nangmaho Canaan gam'a hon lhomcha a khopem bang a nana umlai u ahi, ati.
20 they continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
Hiti chun amaho chu namkhat apat namkhat in anavah uvin chule lenggam khat apat gamdang a ana vah leu ve,
21 But he did not allow others to oppress them, and he warned kings by saying to them,
Chujongle aman amaho chu koima suhgentheina le bolgimna ana neisah pon, amaho jeh in leng dang ho joh thugah na ananei jon ahi,
22 “Do not harm the people whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
Kami lhenchomte natohkhah thei loudiu chule kathemgao ho jong nasuh genthei loudiu ahi,
23 You people throughout the world, sing to Yahweh. Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved us.
Leiset pumpin Pakai chu vahchoi hen chule aniseh in ami huh hingna thupha chu seiphong leuvin,
24 Tell the people of the nations that he is great; tell all the people-groups the marvelous things [that he has done].
Namtin vaipi lah a athilbol loupi ho phongjal un, chule athilbol kidang ho mitin vaipi hetsah un,
25 Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much. He should be revered more than all the gods,
Pakai chu thunei pen ahin amin loupi vahchoi dia lomtah ahi. Chule Pathen dang jouse sang a gin le jadia lom ahi,
26 because all the gods that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only idols, but Yahweh [is truly great; he] created the skies.
Namtin vaipi dang ho hou hi semthu milim doi Pathen ahi, eiho Pakai vang hi vanlaijol sempa ahi,
27 He is glorious and majestic; his power and joy fill his Sacred Tent.
Jana le lalna jouse le thahatna chule kipana Pakai ama kom a um ahi,
28 You people in nations all over the world, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
Vannoi namtin vaipin Pakai thahat nale aloupi je chu hecheh hen,
29 Praise Yahweh like he [MTY] deserves to be praised. Bring an offering and come to his Sacred Tent. Worship Yahweh because he is holy.
Pakai chu loupina jouse chang dia lom ahi, amuntheng dung jousea Pakai chu thilpeh toh thon houvun,
30 Everyone on the earth should tremble in front of Yahweh. He put the earth firmly [in its place]; and nothing ever will be able to move/shake it.
Leiset mite jouse Pakai masang a tijan kithing jeng hen, leiset jong linglouhel in dettah in ding jing hen,
31 Everything in the sky and on the earth should be happy. People [everywhere] should say, “Yahweh is our king!”
Vanna le leiya kipa thanop nan lodim soh hen chule Pakai vaihomna namtin vaipi jousea seiphong leuvin,
32 The oceans and all the creatures that are in the oceans should shout to praise him; the fields and everything that is in them should rejoice.
Twikhanglen le asung a cheng jousen jong avah choina sam u hen chule loulai dungle mimle chang ho jong kipah thanom in hung pohjal jeng uhen,
33 When they do that, [it will be as though] the trees in the forest will sing joyfully in front of Yahweh. That will happen when he comes to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth.
Gammang thingphung jouse jong kipah lasah in kilingdoh soh hen, Pakai chu leiset na thutan’a ahung teng,
34 Thank Yahweh, because [everything that he does is] good. He faithfully loves us forever.
Pakai chu aphatna jallin thangvah na peuvin, ama a um tahsan umtah mingailutna chun tonsot'in athoh jing e,
35 Say to him, “God, you are the one who rescues us, so gather us together and save us from [the armies of] other nations. When you do that, we will thank you [MTY], and we will be happy to praise you.”
“O Pathen eihuh hing paovin namtin vaipi lah a kon in neipui khom uvin lang neihuh doh uvin, chuteng nangma mintheng chu kakipa piuva kavah choi diu ahi.
36 Praise Yahweh, the God of us Israeli people, He has always existed, and he will exist forever. After the people [finished singing that song], they all said, “(Amen/May it be so)!”, and they praised Yahweh.
Pakai Israel Pathen chu vahchoiyun amachu tonsot tonsot gei a hingjing ahi chule amite jousen Pakai chu vahchoi in sam uhen,” Amen.
37 Then David left Asaph and the other members of his clan there in front of [the tent in which] Yahweh’s Sacred Chest [had been placed]. He told them that they must do their work there every day.
Hitichun David in Pakai kitepna thingkong a aniseh a angaichat najouse a natong le ding in Asaph le ama mi Levi mite chu ana pansah in ahi.
38 David also left Obed-Edom and 68 other descendants of Levi to work with them. Hosah and Obed-Edom guarded [the entrances of the Sacred Tent].
Hiche holah a chun Jeduthun chapa Obed-edom, Hosah le Levi mite misom gup le get chu kotkhah ngah in ana pang uve.
39 David also told Zadok the [Supreme] Priest and the other priests who worked with him to remain in front of Yahweh’s Sacred Tent, which was still at the place where the Israeli people worshiped [God there] in Gibeon [city].
Chule David in Zadok thempu le Levi mite chu Gibeon gamsung a Pakai Pathen houbuh a kimang cha din ana koi in ahi.
40 Every morning and every evening they burned offerings on the altar, obeying the rules/laws that had been written [by Moses], rules/laws which Yahweh had given to the Israeli people.
Pakai in Israel te chung a dan thupeh juidia ana nei bang in amahon Pakai a jingkah nilhah in kilhaina thilpeh maicham jong ana nei uve,
41 With them were Heman and Jeduthun and other descendants of Levi. They [MTY] were chosen to sing songs to praise Yahweh because he faithfully loves his people forever.
Pakai akitah nale mingailut na tonsot na athoh hat na jallin ama thang vah na pe ding in David in Heman le Jeduthun ana lhengdoh un chule midang ana minphah chan jong ana pang uvin ahi.
42 Heman and Jeduthun were appointed to play the trumpets and cymbals when [the other descendants of Levi sang sacred songs]. The sons of Jeduthun were appointed to guard the gates [of the Sacred Tent].
Hitichun amahon sumkon mut ginle khutbeh ginle tumging theijat tampi ho mang chan Pathen anavah choi uve, chule Jeduthun chapa chu kotkhah ngah in ana pansah uve.
43 Then all the people left. They returned to their homes, and David returned home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family.
Chujouvin mipi jouse chu ama inlam cheh a ana kileu vin David jong ama inlam a ainsung mite phattheiboh ding in ana che tan ahi.
