¹And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, with every prince.

¹Huchiin David sangte leh jate heutute, makai chiteng ngei toh thu a kikum ua.

²And David said to all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good to you, and it be of Jehovah our God, let us send abroad to our brethren everywhere, that are left in all the lands of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves to us;

²Huan Davidin Israel kikhawmte tengteng kiangah, Hoih na sak ua, TOUPA I Pathian ua kipan a hihleh, mun chitenga Israel gam tengteng nutsiata om i unaute kiangah thu I khak jak ding ua, loupa munte nei a khopite ua a kiang ua siampute leh Levimite om, huchia i kianga a hongkikhop khawm theihna ding un:

³and let us bring again the ark of our God to us; for we inquired not of it in the days of Saul.

³Huchiin I Pathian uh bawm i kilak nawn ding uhi: Saul hun laiin lah i nazong kei ua, a chi a.

⁴And all the congregation said that they should do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

⁴Huan kikhawmpi tengtengin huchibangin i hih ding uh a chi ua: mi tengteng mit ah huai thil lah a dik ngala.

⁵And David assembled all Israel from the Shihor of Egypt unto the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim.

⁵Huchiin Davidin Israel tengteng a kaikhawma, Aigupta gam luita Sihor akipan Hamath lutna chiang phain, Kiriath-jearim akipana Pathian bawm vala dingin.

⁶And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, of Jehovah, who sitteth between the cherubim, whose name is placed [there].

⁶Huan David a kuan tou-a, Israel tengteng leng, Baalah huaibel, Kiriath-jearim ah ahi, huaibel Judaa ahia, huai akipana Pathian, TOUPA Cherubimte tunga tupa, Aminlohna om vala tou dingin.

⁷And they carried the ark of God on a new cart out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.

⁷Huan Pathian bawm kangtalai thakin a pua ua, Abinadab in akipan a la khia ua: huchiin Uzza leh Ahioin a hawl uhi.

⁸And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with lutes, and with tambours, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

⁸Huchiin David leh Israel tengteng Pathian maah a hatna tengteng un late, kaihgingte, pekgingguisawmmneite, khuangtate, dakkhutbette leh pengkulte ngei toh lopna bawlin om uh.

⁹And when they came to the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen had stumbled.

⁹Huan Kidon buhchilna-phuala hongtun un, Uzzain bawm len dingin a khutin a sawka; bawngtalte lah a kipal ngal ua.

¹⁰And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he had put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God.

¹⁰Huan Uzza tungah TOUPA hehna a soutaa, bawma a khut a koih jiakin, amah a hihlumta hi: huchiin huailaiah Pathian maah a sita.

¹¹And David was indignant; for Jehovah had made a breach upon Uzza; and he called that place Perez-Uzza to this day.

¹¹Huan TOUPA Uzza tunga a puahkhap jiakin, David a lungkimkei hi: huan huailai tuni tanin, Perez-uzza a chita hi.

¹²And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God to me?

¹²Huan huai niin Davidin Pathian a kihtaa, Bangchiin Pathian bawm in ka kitut dia? Chiin.

¹³And David brought not the ark home unto himself into the city of David, but he carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

¹³Huchiin Davidin David khopi sungah bawm a kiangah a suanta keia, Git mi Obed-edom in sungah a tuam puak zota hi.Huan Pathian bawm bel kha thum Obed-edom inkote kiangah a in sungah a oma: huan TOUPAN Obed-edom leh, a neih tengteng a vualjawlta hi.

¹⁴And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months. And Jehovah blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he had.

¹⁴Huan Pathian bawm bel kha thum Obed-edom inkote kiangah a in sungah a oma: huan TOUPAN Obed-edom leh, a neih tengteng a vualjawlta hi.
