< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 David loh hlang boeih a coi tih Israel khuikah te thawng sawmthum a coelh.
And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 Te phoeiah caempuei BOEIPA ming la a ming a khue tih a soah Cherub loh a ngol thil, Pathen thingkawng te te lamloh Baale-Judah la khuen ham David te hlah uh tih amah taengkah pilnam te boeih a caeh puei.
And David arose, and went with all the people who were with him to Baalah, that is, Kiriath Jearim of Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called there by the name of the LORD of hosts enthroned on the cherubim.
3 Pathen thingkawng te leng a thai dongah a hol uh tih som kah Abinadab im lamloh a khuen uh. Te vaengah leng a thai te Abinadab capa Uzzah neh Ahio loh a hmaithawn.
And they set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was on the hill. And Uzza and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, guided the cart
4 Som kah Abinadab im lamloh Pathen thingkawng a khuen uh vaengah te Ahio te thingkawng hmai ah cet.
with the ark; and Ahio was walking in front of the ark.
5 David neh Israel imkhui pum loh BOEIPA kah mikhmuh ah hmaical thing, rhotoeng, thangpa, kamrhing, tingkoei, tlaklak neh boeih luem uh.
And David and all the children of Israel played before the LORD with all their strength and with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with castanets, and with cymbals.
6 Nakhawn a pha uh vaengah vaito loh a soek uh hatah Pathen kah thingkawng te Uzzah loh a cuk thil tih a tuuk.
And when they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzza reached out his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the cattle stumbled.
7 Te vaengah BOEIPA kah a thintoek te vik sai. Te dongah Uzzah te Pathen loh pahoi a ngawn. A lolhnah a om dongah Pathen kah thingkawng taengah pahoi duek.
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died before God.
8 BOEIPA loh Uzzah puut te a va dongah David lungoe. Te dongah tekah hmuen te ti hnin due Perezuzzah la a khue.
And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.
9 Te khohnin vaengah David loh BOEIPA te a rhih coeng tih, “BOEIPA kah thingkawng loh kai taengah ha pawk thai aya?” a ti.
And David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, "How can the ark of God come to me?" Now the ark of the LORD arrived,
10 BOEIPA thingkawng te David khopuei ah amah taengla khuen ham David loh huem pawh. Tedae David loh Ghitti Obededom im la a thak.
but David was not willing to move the ark of the LORD with him to the City of David; so David diverted it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
11 BOEIPA thingkawng tah Ghitti Obededom im ah hla thum yalh. Te vaengah Obededom neh a imkhui pum te BOEIPA loh yoe a then sak.
And the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months, and the LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.
12 Te dongah manghai David taengla puen uh tih, “BOEIPA loh Pathen kah thingkawng kongah Obededom imkhui neh a taeng om boeih te yoe a then sak,” a ti nah. Te daengah David te suntla tih Pathen thingkawng te Obededom im lamloh David Khopuei la kohoenah neh a khuen.
And it was told king David, saying, "The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him because of the ark of God." And David said, "I will bring back the blessing to my house." And David went and brought up the ark of the LORD from the house of Obed-Edom into the City of David with joy.
13 BOEIPA thingkawng aka kawt rhoek te kan rhuk a kan phoeiah tah vaito a puetsuet te a ngawn thil.
And it was so, that, when those who bore the ark of the LORD had gone six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
14 David khaw a sarhi boeih neh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah lam. Te vaengah David loh takhlawk hnisui te a vah.
And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.
15 David neh Israel imkhui tom loh BOEIPA thingkawng te tamlung neh, tuki ol neh a caeh puei uh.
So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
16 BOEIPA thingkawng te David khopuei khuila a pawk vaengah Saul canu Mikhal loh bangbuet lamkah a dan. Te vaengah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah manghai David soipet tih a lam te a hmuh. Te dongah anih te a lungbuei khuiah a sawtsit.
Now, as the ark of the LORD was entering into the City of David, Mikal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
17 BOEIPA thingkawng te David loh a tuk dap khui la a khuen uh tih amah hmuen ah a khueh uh. Te phoeiah hmueihhlutnah neh rhoepnah hmueih te David loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a khuen.
And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had set up for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
18 Hmueihhlutnah neh rhoepnah hmueih a tloeng te a coeng phoeiah tah pilnam te David loh caempuei BOEIPA ming neh yoethen a paek.
And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.
19 Israel hlangping boeih khuikah pilnam boeih te huta khaw tongpa khaw, hlang pakhat rhip taengah, vaidam laep, buhham neh maehcaeng pakhat, yukhap rhip a tael. Te phoeiah pilnam boeih te amah im la boeih cet uh.
And he gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. So all the people departed everyone to his house.
20 A imkhui te yoethen paek ham David a mael vaengah Saul canu Mikhal te David doe ham ha thawn uh tih, “Israel manghai tihnin ah bahoeng a thangpom a! A salnu salpa mikhmuh ah tihnin ah a hni a pit he, a hong bangla a hni a pit khaw a pit rhoe he,” a ti nah.
And then David returned to bless his household. Mikal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David. And she greeted him, and said, "How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself."
21 David loh Mikhal te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah, “Kai he tah na pa lakah khaw, a imkhui boeih lamkah long khaw amah long ni n'tuek. Kai he BOEIPA kah pilnam so neh, Israel soah rhaengsang la ng'uen dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ka luem ni ta.
And David said to Mikal, "I was dancing before the LORD. Blessed be the LORD, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of the LORD, over Israel; therefore I will celebrate before the LORD.
22 He lakah muep ka tahoeng vetih ka mikhmuh ah tlarhoel la ka om ni. Tedae salnu na thui rhoek long te kai n'thangpom bitni,” a ti nah.
And I will be yet more vile than this, and will be lowly in your eyes. But of the handmaids of whom you have spoken, they shall honor me."
23 Te dongah Saul canu Mikhal tah a dueknah hnin hil a taengah camoe om pawh.
And Mikal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
