1 Chronicles 15
1 David made himself houses in David’s city; and he prepared a place for God’s ark, and pitched a tent for it.
David in akhopi a chun injong tampi anasa in chule Pathen thingkong koi nading jong ponbuh phatah ana song in ahi.
2 Then David said, “No one ought to carry God’s ark but the Levites. For the LORD has chosen them to carry God’s ark, and to minister to him forever.”
Hichun David in hitin asei e Pathen thingkong pudia chu Pakai deilhen Levi mite tailou chu akin bol a pangthei lou ding ahi ati.
3 David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the LORD’s ark to its place, which he had prepared for it.
Hichun David in Pakai thingkong koina dingmun semna a pulut ding in Jerusalem khopi a um Israel mite chu ana kou in ahi.
4 David gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
Hiche a anakikou miho chu ahile Aaron thempu le Levi chate ho ahiuve.
5 of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brothers one hundred twenty;
Uriel lamkai na akon in Kohath nambah ami jakhat le somni ahin,
6 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred twenty;
Asaiah lamkai na a Meraei nambah akon mi janile somni ahi,
7 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brothers one hundred thirty;
Joel lamkai na akon Gerahon nambah mi jale somthum alhing uve,
8 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred;
Elizaphan son chilhah akon Shemaiah lamkaina mi jani alhing e,
9 of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brothers eighty;
Hebron son chilhah a kon Eliel lamkai na in mi somget alhing uve,
10 of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brothers one hundred twelve.
Aminadab lamkai na in Uzziel chilhah techu mi jale somleni ma alhing uve.
11 David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites: for Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab,
Chuin David in thempu ho Zadok le Abiathar chule Levi mite lah a kon in Uriel, Asaiah, Joel ahin Shemaiah ahin Eliel le Aminadab ho chu akou khom soh keiyin ahi.
12 and said to them, “You are the heads of the fathers’ households of the Levites. Sanctify yourselves, both you and your brothers, that you may bring the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, up to the place that I have prepared for it.
David in amaho kom a chun hitin asei e; “Nangho Levi insung mite dia lamkai pipui nahiu ve. Hijeh chun Israel Pathen pakai thingkong chu akoina ding a kagotna mun a nahin nungput kit nadiu vin nang ho ahin chule nainsungmite cheng nabon un kisutheng un,” ati.
13 For because you did not carry it at first, the LORD our God broke out in anger against us, because we did not seek him according to the ordinance.”
Pakai ina-doh lou jeh’u chun Pakai vantil Pathen lunghan na ichung uva ana chu’in Levi mite chun thingkong chu nana pohlut thei lou-u ahi.
14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Hijeh chun thempu ho le Levi mite jouse chun Israel Pathen Pakai thingkong Jerusalem mun’a putdoh nadin kilhai na ana nei uvin ahi.
15 The children of the Levites bore God’s ark on their shoulders with its poles, as Moses commanded according to the LORD’s word.
Chuin Pakai in Mose athuhil bang chun Levi miten Pathen thingkong chu moljol in alengkou un ahin pu uvin ahi.
16 David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers as singers with instruments of music, stringed instruments, harps, and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up their voices with joy.
Hichun David in jong lamkai ho chu thu apen Levi mite lasathem le tumging them hon kipa lasah a tumging le semjang sai a khutbeh gintho ding in asei e.
17 So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brothers, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brothers, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;
Chuin Levi hon jong Joel chapa Heman Levi tetoh sopi Merari nambah sung a kon Berekiah chapa ahin, Kushaiah chapa Ethan ho cheng ana pan sah uvin ahi.
18 and with them their brothers of the second rank: Zechariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers.
Chule amaho noi bantah a ding in Zacharaiah, Zaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehid, Unni, Eliab, Bennaiah, Massaiah, Mattithiah, Eliphileh, Mikniah le kotkhah ngah a pang Obed-edom le Jeiel ho chu ana pansah uvin ahi.
19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were given cymbals of bronze to sound aloud;
Tumging them lah a Heman, Asaph le Ethan ho chu sumeng semjang sai ding in ana lheng uvin,
20 and Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with stringed instruments set to Alamoth;
Chule Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Measaiah le Benaiah ho cheng chu selang dah sai din ana lheng doh uvin ahi.
21 and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps tuned to the eight-stringed lyre, to lead.
Chule Mittithiah, Elipelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel chule Azaziah ho chu la aw lhingsetna sahna kimang semjang saidin apan sah uve.
22 Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the singing. He taught the singers, because he was skillful.
Chuin Levite lah a lamkai Kenaiah hi lasah lambolthei tah ahijeh chun la lamkai din apan sah uve.
23 Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.
Chule Pathen thingkong vengtup ding in Berekaiah le Elkanah chu ana pansah uve.
24 Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, blew the trumpets before God’s ark; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.
Shebanaiah, Joshephat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zecharaiah, Beniah le Eliezer ho cheng hin Pathen thingkong mai a kitol uva saki a kisem pengkul amut diu ahi, chule Obed-edom le Jehiah chu Pathen thingkong kotngah in apan sah uve.
25 So David, the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands went to bring the ark of the LORD’s covenant up out of the house of Obed-Edom with joy.
David le Israel upate chule sepai lamkai pipuho chun Pakai kitepna thingkong chu Jerusalem a ahin pohlut a loupi tah a kipa pi ding in Obed-edom inpia chun ana cheuve.
26 When God helped the Levites who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
Chule Pathen in Levi mite akithopi a, amahon Pakai kitepna thingkong ahin pohlut jeh u chun bongchal sagi le kelngoi sagi kilhai nan anathat uve.
27 David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who bore the ark, the singers, and Chenaniah the choir master with the singers; and David had an ephod of linen on him.
David le Levi mite Pakai thingkong pua pang ahin, lasa a pang ho le la lamkai Kenaniah ho chu tupat ponnem in ana kivon uve. David jong chun thempu ho lengban khat jong ana kiban in ahi.
28 Thus all Israel brought the ark of the LORD’s covenant up with shouting, with sound of the cornet, with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with stringed instruments and harps.
Hiti chun Israel mite chun kipana aw thong’a sampum le sumkon gin le saki mutgin chule khutbeh beng ginle semjang saiging tho in Pakai kitepna thingkong chu ahin pulut uvin ahi.
29 As the ark of the LORD’s covenant came to David’s city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart.
Pakai kitepna thingkong David khopia ahin pohlut u chun, Saul chanu Michal in in bang kot apat ahin vetsuh le leng David kipa thanop thoa achop le chu amun ana japi in ahi.
