Once David had finished presenting the burnt offerings and friendship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.

Then he shared out to every Israelite, to every man and woman, a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake.

Asaph was the one in charge, Zechariah was second, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel. They played harps and lyres, and Asaph struck the cymbals,
6 Khosoih Benaiah neh Jahaziel tah Pathen kah paipi thingkawng hmai ah olueng neh phat om.
and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel blew the trumpets continually in front of the Ark of God's Agreement.
7 Te vaengah tue ah BOEIPA te lamhma la uem ham David loh Asaph neh a manuca rhoek taengah a paek.
This was the day that David first instructed Asaph and his relatives to express thanks to the Lord in this way:
8 BOEIPA te uem uh lamtah, a ming te khue uh. A khoboe rhamlang te pilnam taengah ming sakuh.
Give the Lord thanks, worship his wonderful nature, let people know what he's done!
9 Amah te hlai uh lamtah, amah te tingtoeng uh. Amah kah khobaerhambae cungkuem dongah lolmang uh lah.

Remember all the wonderful things he's done, the miracles he's performed, and the judgments he's carried out,

descendants of Israel, children of Jacob, his chosen people.
14 Amah tah mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA ni, a laitloeknah he diklai pum ah om.
He is the Lord, our God, his judgments cover the whole earth.
15 A paipi te kumhal duela poek uh. Cadilcahma thawngkhat ham khaw ol a uen coeng.
He remembers his agreement forever, the promise he made lasts for a thousand generations;
16 Te te Abraham taengah a saii tih a olhlo te Isaak taengah a khueh.
the agreement he made with Abraham, the vow he gave to Isaac.
17 Kumhal paipi te Israel taengkah oltlueh bangla Jakob taengah khaw a pai sak.
The Lord legally confirmed it with Jacob, he made this everlasting agreement with Israel:
18 “Kanaan khohmuen te Nang taengah na rho neh khoyo la kam paek ni.
saying, “I will give the land of Canaan to you for you to possess.”
19 Na hlang te hlangmi a yol neh a khuiah aka bakuep la om.
He said this when there were only a few of you, just a small group of foreigners in the land.
20 Namtom lamloh namtom taengla, ram khat lamloh pilnam tloe taengla pongpa uh.
They wandered from country to country, from one kingdom to the next.
21 Amih hnaemtaek ham te hlang taengla a tloeng pawt dongah amih yueng la manghai rhoek te a tluung pah.
He didn't let anyone one treat them badly; warning kings to leave them alone:
22 Ka koelh rhoek te ben uh boeh, ka tonghma rhoek taengah khaw thaehuet uh boeh.
“Don't touch my chosen people; don't harm my prophets!”
23 Diklai pum loh BOEIPA te hlai uh lah, amah kah khangnah te a hnin, hnin ah phong uh.
Sing to the Lord, all the earth, sing to the Lord! Each day let everyone know of his salvation!
24 Amah thangpomnah te namtom taengah, amah kah khobaerhambae te pilnam cungkuem taengah daek uh.
Declare his glorious acts among the nations, the wonderful things he does among all peoples.
25 BOEIPA tah len tih muep thangthen pai saeh. Pathen boeih lakah amah a rhih om pai.
For the Lord is great, and deserves the best praise! He is to be respected with awe above all gods.
26 Pilnam kah pathen boeih tah mueirhol rhoek ni. Tedae BOEIPA loh vaan a saii.
For all the gods of other nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens!
27 A mikhmuh ah mueithennah neh rhuepomnah, a ngolnah hmuen ah a sarhi neh kohoenah om.
Splendor and majesty are his; power and glory are in his sanctuary.

Let the heavens sing for joy, let the earth be happy. Tell the nations, “The Lord is in charge!”
32 Tuitunli neh a cungkuem khaw kawk saeh lamtah, khohmuen neh a khuikah a cungkuem loh sundaep saeh.
Let the sea and everything in it shout with praise! Let the fields and everything there celebrate;

Let all the trees in the forest sing for joy, for he is coming to judge the earth.
34 A sitlohnah te kumhal due ham a then dongah BOEIPA te uem uh.

35 “Kaimih kah khangnah Pathen, kaimih he n'khang lah. Kaimih he n'coi lamtah namtom taeng lamloh kaimih n'huul lah. Na cimcaihnah ming te uem ham neh na kohoenah dongah ka domyok uh ham khaw,” ti uh.
Shout out, “Save us, Lord, our God! Bring us back together from among the nations, rescue us, so we can thank you and praise how magnificent and holy you are.”

as well as Obed-edom and his sixty-eight relatives. Obed-edom, son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, were gatekeepers.
39 Khosoih Zadok neh a manuca khosoih rhoek tah Gibeon hmuensang kah BOEIPA dungtlungim hmai ah,
David put Zadok the priest and his fellow priests in charge of the Ark of the Lord at the high place in Gibeon

Then all the people went home, and David went to bless his family.
