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.
Devit ni Devit khopui vah ama hane im a sak teh Cathut e thingkong ao nahane hmuen hah a rakueng pouh teh lukkareiim a yap pouh.
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.”
Devit ni Cathut e thingkong heh Levihnaw hoeh laipalah teh, apinihai kâkayawn thai mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut e thingkong teh meng kâkayawt hane hoi a thaw ka tawk hanelah BAWIPA ni a rawi e naw doeh telah a ti.
3 David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the LORD’s ark to its place, which he had prepared for it.
Devit ni BAWIPA e thing kong ta nahane a rakueng pouh e hmuen koevah, ceikhai hanelah Jerusalem vah Isarelnaw pueng a pâkhueng.
4 David gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
Hatdawkvah, Devit ni Aron e casaknaw hoi Levih casaknaw hah a pâkhueng. awh.
5 of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brothers one hundred twenty;
Kohath e casaknaw thung kacuepoung e Uriel hoi a hmaunawngha 120 touh a pha
6 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred twenty;
Merari casaknaw thung kacuepoung e Asaiah hoi a hmaunawnghanaw 220 touh a pha awh.
7 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brothers one hundred thirty;
Gershom e casaknaw thung dawk kacuepoung e Joel hoi a hmaunawnghanaw 130 touh a pha awh.
8 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred;
Elizaphan casaknaw thung dawk kacuepoung e Shemaiah hoi a hmaunawnghanaw 200 touh a pha awh.
9 of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brothers eighty;
Hebron casaknaw thung dawk kacuepoung e Eliel hoi a hmaunawnghanaw 80 touh a pha awh.
10 of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brothers one hundred twelve.
Uziel casaknaw thung dawk kacuepoung e Aminadab hoi a hmaunawnghanaw 112 touh a pha awh.
11 David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites: for Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab,
Devit ni vaihma Zadok, Abiathar, Levih, Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, hoi Aminadab tinaw hai a kaw.
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.
Nangmanaw teh Levihnaw thung dawk kacuepoung lah na o awh. Isarel BAWIPA Cathut e thingkong hah ka rakueng e hmuen koevah, thokhai hanelah nama hoi na hmaunawnghanaw kamthoung awh.
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.”
Ahmaloe e dawk hai nangmouh ni na kâkayawt awh hoeh dawkvah BAWIPA Cathut ni mamouh dawk a lungkhueknae a pha sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, amae lamthung patetlah sak hane hah ama koe pacei awh hoeh telah a ti.
14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Hatdawkvah, Isarel BAWIPA Cathut e thingkong hah kâkayawt hanelah vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw hah a kamthoung awh.
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.
BAWIPA kâpoe e Mosi ni a dei e patetlah Levihnaw ni a loung dawk hoi thingkong teh a kâkayawt awh.
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.
Devit ni Levih kacuenaw hah a hmaunawngha thung dawk hoi la ka sak hane, ratoung ka tum hane, tamawi, cecak, hoi kacaipounglah tumkhawng vaiteh, lunghawi nalaihoi la sak hanelah a dei pouh.
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;
Hatdawkvah, Levihnaw ni Joel capa Heman hoi a hmaunawngha thung hoi Berekhiah e capa Asaph, a hmaunawngha Merari e capanaw thung hoi Kushaiah capa Etham hah a rawi awh.
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.
Hmaunawnghanaw thung hoi Zekhariah casak Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obededom hoi tho ka ring e Jeiel tinaw a rawi awh.
19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were given cymbals of bronze to sound aloud;
Hatdawkvah, la ka sak hane Heman, Asaph, Ethan, hah cecak kacaipounglah tumkhawng hanelah a rawi awh.
20 and Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with stringed instruments set to Alamoth;
Zekhariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, Benaiah teh Alamoth lawk hoi ratoung tum hanelah a rawi awh.
21 and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps tuned to the eight-stringed lyre, to lead.
Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obededom, Jeiel, Azaziah teh Sheminith lawk lahoi tamawi hoi hrawi hanelah a rawi awh.
22 Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the singing. He taught the singers, because he was skillful.
Levihnaw kacue e Kenaniah, teh la sak a thoum la kahrawikung lah ao.
23 Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.
Berekhiah hoi Elkanah teh thingkong tho karingkung lah ao roi.
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.
Vaihmanaw Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zekhariah, Benaiah hoi Eliezer naw ni Cathut e thingkong hmalah mongka a ueng awh. Hahoi, Obed-edom hoi Jehiah teh thingkong e longkha karingkung lah ao awh.
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.
Hahoi Devit hoi Isarel kacuenaw ransa 1000 kauknaw teh Obededom im e BAWIPA thingkong la hanelah, lunghawi nalaihoi a cei awh.
26 When God helped the Levites who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA thingkong kâkayawn e Levihnaw hah, Cathut ni a kabawp teh maitotan sari touh hoi, tutan sari touh hoi thuengnae a sak awh.
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.
Devit hoi thingkong kâkayawn e Levihnaw pueng, la kasaknaw, la ka hrawi e Kenaniah naw teh, lukkarei loukloukkaang e hoi a kamthoup awh. Devit hai lukkarei loukloukkaang e vaihma angki hah a kho.
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.
Hottelah mongka hoi tu ki hoi, cecak lawk hoi a parawi awh teh, Isarelnaw pueng ni, hramki nalaihoi, BAWIPA lawkkam thingkong a ceikhai awh teh, la puenghoi a sak awh teh, ratoung tamawi kacaipounglah a tumkhawng awh.
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.
Hahoi BAWIPA lawkkam thingkong Devit kho dawk a kâenkhai awh navah, Sawl e canu Mikhal ni hlalangaw koehoi a khet navah, siangpahrang Devit a lamtu laihoi a cawkdawk e hah a hmu teh, a lungthung hoi a panuikhai.
