1 Chronicles 15

1 David made him houses in the City of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.

David loe angmah hanah, David vangpui to sak moe, Sithaw ih thingkhong suekhaih kahni im doeh a sak.

2 Then David said, "No one ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites. For the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of God, and to minister to him forever."

To pacoengah David mah, Angraeng mah Sithaw thingkhong to aput moe, dungzan khoek to anih ih toksak hanah, Levi acaengnawk to qoih boeh pongah, Levi acaengnawk ai ah loe mi mah doeh apu thai mak ai, tiah a naa.

3 David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD to its place, which he had prepared for it.

David mah sak ih kahni im ah Sithaw ih thingkhong phawh hanah, David mah Israel kaminawk boih Jerusalem ah nawnto amkhuengsak.

4 David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites:

David mah, Aaron ih caanawk hoi Levi acaengnawk to pakhueng boih.

5 of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brothers one hundred twenty;

Kohat acaeng, zaehoikung Uriel hoi anih ih caa cumvai pumphaeto,

6 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred twenty;

Merari acaeng, zaehoikung Asaiah hoi anih ih caa cumvai hnet, pumphaeto,

7 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brothers one hundred thirty;

Gershom acaeng, zaehoikung Joel hoi anih ih caa cumvai quithumto,

8 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred;

Elizaphan acaeng, zaehoikung Shemaiah hoi anih ih caa cumvai hnetto,

9 of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brothers eighty;

Hebron acaeng, zaehoikung Eliel hoi anih ih caa quitazetto,

10 of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brothers one hundred twelve.

Uzziel acaeng, zaehoikung Amminadab hoi anih ih caa cumvai hatlaihnetto oh o.

11 David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,

To pacoeng ah David mah qaima Zadok hoi Abiathar; Levi acaeng Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel hoi Amminadab cae to kawk.

12 and said to them, "You are the heads of the ancestral houses of the Levites. Sanctify yourselves, both you and your brothers, that you may bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, to the place that I have prepared for it.

Nihcae khaeah, Nangcae loe Levi acaeng zaehoikung kacoehta ah na oh o; nangmacae hoi nam nawkamyanawk loe ciimcai ah om o sak loe, Israel Angraeng Sithaw ih thingkhong to, ka sak ih ahmuen ah angzawnh oh.

13 For because you were not prepared the first time, the LORD our God made an outbreak against us, because we did not seek him according to the ordinance."

Nangcae loe canghniah to tiah na sah o ai, a thuih ih lok baktih toengah kawbangmaw ka sak o han? tiah lok a dueng o ai pongah, aicae Angraeng Sithaw loe aicae nuiah palungphui, tiah a naa.

14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.

To pongah qaima hoi Levi acaengnawk loe Israel Angraeng Sithaw ih thingkhong aput hanah ciimcai ah oh o.

15 The descendants of the Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.

Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah paek ih lok baktih toengah, Levi acaengnawk mah Sithaw ih thingkhong to angzawnhaih thing hoiah palaeng ah aput o.

16 David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers the singers, with instruments of music, stringed instruments and harps and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up the voice with joy.

David mah Levi kacoehtanawk khaeah, atuen congca, aqui kapop katoeng, cingceng, tamoi kruekhaih hoiah anghoehaih laa to sak o moe, angmacae ih nawkamyanawk to tok paek hanah a thuih pae.

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;

To pongah Levi acaengnawk mah angmacae nawkamya thung hoiah Joel capa Heman, angmah ih amnawk Berakiah capa Asaph; Merari acaeng thungah angmacae nawkamya Kushaiah capa Ethan;

18 and with them their brothers of the second degree, Zechariah, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah were doorkeepers.

Hnetto haih ah kaom angmacae ih nawkamya Zekariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom hoi khongkha toepkung Jeiel cae hanah tok paek o.

19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were given cymbals of bronze to sound aloud;

To pongah Heman, Asaph hoi Ethan loe cingceng bopkung ah oh o;

20 and Zechariah, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with stringed instruments set to Alamoth;

Zekariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah hoi Benaiah cae mah Alamoth katoeng to kruek o.

21 and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps tuned to the eight-stringed lyre, to lead.

Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel hoi Azaziah cae mah aqui kapop sheminith katoeng to kruek o.

22 Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the song: he instructed about the song, because he was skillful.

Levi zaehoikung lu koek, Kenaniah loe laasak zaehoikung ah oh; anih loe laa zaehhoihaih kop kami ah oh.

23 Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

Berekiah hoi Elkanah loe Sithaw ih thingkhong akunhaih khongkha toepkung ah oh.

24 Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, blew the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-Edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.

Qaima Shebaniah, Jehoshaphat, Nathanel, Amasai, Zekariah, Benaiah hoi Eliezer mah Sithaw thingkhong hmaa ah mongkah to ueng o; Obed-Edom hoi Jehiah loe thingkhong khongkha toepkung ah oh o.

25 So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obed-Edom with joy.

To pongah David hoi Israel kacoehtanawk, kami sangto ukkungnawk loe, anghoehaih hoiah Obed-Edom imthung hoiah Sithaw lokkamhaih thingkhong to sinh hanah caeh o.

26 It happened, when God helped the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.

Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong apu Levi acaengnawk to, Sithaw mah abomh boeh pongah, maitaw tae sarihto hoi tuutae sarihto angbawnhaih ah a paek o.

27 David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites who bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: and David had on him an ephod of linen.

David hoi Sithaw ih thingkhong apuu Levi acaengnawk, laasah kaminawk, laasah zaehoikung Kenaniah loe puu ngan khukbuen hoiah amthoep o; David doeh puu ngan kahni to angkhuk toeng.

28 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with stringed instruments and harps.

To tiah Israel kaminawk boih mah Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong to, hanghaih lok, tuu takii bohhaih lok, mongkah lok, cingceng lok hoi aqui kapop katoeng lok hoiah phawh o tahang.

29 It happened, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the City of David, that Mikal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart.

Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong David vangpui thungah phak naah, Saul canu Mikael mah thokbuem hoiah khet; anih mah hnawh moe, anghoehaih hoiah kaom, David siangpahrang to hnuk naah, anih to palung thung hoiah khet patoek.
