2 Samuel 6
1 Then David chose 30,000 Israeli men and gathered them together.
Devit ni Isarelnaw thung dawk hoi a rawi e 3,000 touh hah a pâkhueng.
2 He led them to the place in Judah [formerly] called Baalah, [now called Kiriath-Jearim]. They went in order to bring from there [to Jerusalem] the sacred chest, which had the name of Yahweh, the leader of the armies of [the angels in] heaven, written on it, and which had the [statues of the] winged creatures on top of it. Between those statues was where Yahweh spoke messages about ruling his people [MTY].
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 The sacred chest was in the house of Abinadab, on top of a hill. They went there, and they put the chest on a new cart. Uzzah and Ahio, the two sons of Abinadab, were guiding [the oxen that were pulling 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 Uzzah walked alongside the cart, and Ahio walked in front of it.
Uzzah teh Cathut e thingkong e ateng thoseh, Ahio teh thingkong hmalah thoseh a cei.
5 David and all the Israeli men were celebrating in God’s presence, singing with all their strength and [playing] lyres and harps, and beating tambourines, and clashing castanets 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 place where Nacon threshed grain, the oxen stumbled. So Uzzah put his hand on the sacred chest to (steady it/prevent it from falling [off the cart]).
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 Yahweh immediately became very angry with Uzzah, and he killed him right there alongside the sacred chest, because he had touched the chest, [and Yahweh had commanded that only the descendants of Levi who help the priests should touch the sacred chest].
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 Yahweh had punished Uzzah. So ever since that time, that place has been called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
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 was [also] afraid of [what else] Yahweh [would do to punish them], so he said, “(How can I take the sacred chest with me [to Jerusalem]?/I am afraid to take the sacred chest with me [to Jerusalem].)” [RHQ]
Hot hnin dawkvah, Devit ni BAWIPA a taki teh, bangtelamaw BAWIPA thingkong hah kai koe a pha thai han telah ati.
10 So he did not want to take the sacred chest to Jerusalem. Instead, they took it to another place; they took it to the house of Obed-Edom, from Gath [city].
Devit ni BAWIPA thingkong teh, Devit kho dawk hrueng laipalah Git tami Obed-Edom im vah a hruek.
11 They left the sacred chest in the house of Obed-Edom for three months, and [during that time] Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom and his family.
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 Later, people told David, “Yahweh has blessed Obed-Edom and his family because [he is taking care] of the sacred chest!” When David heard that, he [and some other men] went to Obed-Edom’s house, and very joyfully brought the sacred chest from there to Jerusalem.
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 [This time, descendants of Levi] were carrying the sacred chest, but when they had walked only six steps, they stopped, and there David killed a bull and a fat calf, and offered them to Yahweh for a sacrifice.
BAWIPA e thingkong kahrawmnaw teh vai taruk touh a takan hnukkhu hoi, maitotan hoi kathâw e tu hoi thuengnae a sak awh.
14 David was wearing [only] a linen cloth wrapped around his waist, and was dancing very energetically to honor Yahweh.
Devit ni Ephod hah a kho teh thaonae abuemlahoi BAWIPA hmalah a lam.
15 David and the Israeli men took the sacred chest up [to Jerusalem], shouting [loudly] and blowing trumpets.
Hottelah Devit hoi Isarelnaw ni a hrawm awh. Mongka ueng laihoi, BAWIPA e thingkong hah a ceikhai awh.
16 While they were carrying the sacred chest into the city, [David’s wife] Michal, who was Saul’s daughter, looked out the window [of her house]. She saw King David leaping and dancing to honor Yahweh. So she was disgusted with 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 sacred chest into the tent that David had erected for it. Then David gave to Yahweh offerings to be completely burned [on an altar], and other offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
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 When David had finished offering those sacrifices, he asked Yahweh, the Commander of the armies [of the angels], to bless the people.
Devit ni hmaisawi thuengnae hoi roum thuengnae a sak hnukkhu, ransahu BAWIPA min lahoi taminaw pueng yawhawinae a poe.
19 He also distributed food to all the people. To each Israeli man and woman he gave a loaf of bread, some meat, and a raisin cake. Then all the people returned to their homes.
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 went home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family, his wife Michal came out to meet him. She said to him, “Maybe you, the king of Israel, [think that you] [IRO] were honoring yourself today, but really, you acted like a fool, uncovering yourself while the female servants of your officials were watching!”
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 replied to Michal, “[I was doing that] to honor Yahweh, who chose me instead of your father and other members of his family, to be the king of the Israeli people, the people who belong to Yahweh. And I will [continue to] dance to honor Yahweh!
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 [Even though you think that what I did] was disgraceful, I will continue to do it even more. You may despise me [because of what I did], but the women whom you were talking about will honor me!”
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 [As a result, ] Saul’s daughter Michal never gave birth to any children.
Hatdawkvah, Sawl canu Mikhal teh a due totouh ca sak hoeh toe.
