1 Weche Mag Ndalo 13
1 Daudi noporo wach kod jotende, jotend lweny alufe kod jotend lweny miche.
Then David conferred with all his leaders, the commanders of hundreds and of thousands.
2 Bangʼe nowachone riwruok duto mar jo-Israel niya, “Ka wachni bernu kendo ka en dwaro mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, to waor wach ne jowetewa mamoko kamoro amora ma gintiere e kuonde mag Israel kaachiel gi jodolo gi jo-Lawi man kodgi e miechgi to gi lege mag kwath mondo gibi irwa.
And he said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this is of the LORD our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our brothers in all the land of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites in their cities and pasturelands, so that they may join us.
3 Eka mondo waom Sandug Muma mar Nyasachwa ma wakel ka nikech ne ok wamanye e kinde loch Saulo.”
Then let us bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of Him in the days of Saul.”
4 Chokruokni duto noyie mondo otim mano nikech mano nonenore makare ni ji duto.
And because this proposal seemed right to all the people, the whole assembly agreed to it.
5 Daudi nochoko jo-Israel duto chakre Aora Shihor man Misri nyaka Lebo Hamath mondo giom Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye Kiriath Jearim.
So David assembled all Israel, from the River Shihor in Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
6 Daudi kod jo-Israel duto mane ni kode nodhi Baala e piny Juda, ma bende iluongo ni Kiriath Jearim mondo giom Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye, mobet e kind kerubi, en sanduku mar muma miluongo gi nyinge.
David and all Israel went up to Baalah of Judah (that is, Kiriath-jearim) to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who is enthroned between the cherubim—the ark that is called by the Name.
7 Negigolo Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye e od Abinadab ka otingʼe e gari manyien, to Uza gi Ahio ema ne chiko garino.
So they carried the ark of God from the house of Abinadab on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding the cart.
8 Daudi kod jo-Israel duto ne miel gi tekregi duto e nyim Nyasaye ka gimor gi-ilo ka giwer gi thumbe gi nyatiti gi orutu gi oyieke gi kayamba kod turumbete.
David and all the Israelites were celebrating before God with all their might, with songs and on harps and lyres, with tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
9 To kane gichopo ei kar dino mar Kidon, Uza norieyo bade mondo osir Sandug Muma mane dhi podho nikech rwedhi mane ywayo gari notangni.
When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark, because the oxen had stumbled.
10 To Jehova Nyasaye nokecho gi Uza kendo ne ochwade nikech nomako Sandug Muma omiyo notho e nyim Nyasaye.
And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and He struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.
11 Daudi nokecho nikech mirima mager mar Jehova Nyasaye nomwomore kuom Uza, omiyo nochak kanyo ni Perez Uza, nying ma pod iluongogo kanyo nyaka chil kawuono.
Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah; so he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.
12 Luoro nomako Daudi chiengʼno nikech Jehova Nyasaye mopenjo niya, “Ere kaka dakel Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye ka?”
That day David feared God and asked, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?”
13 Omiyo ne ok okawo Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye mondo odhigo e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi, to nobaro otere e od Obed-Edom ja-Giti.
So he did not move the ark with him to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
14 Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye nosiko kuno gi jood Obed-Edom e ode kuom dweche adek kendo Jehova Nyasaye nogwedho gimoro amora e ode mane en-go.
Thus the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house for three months, and the LORD blessed his household and everything he owned.
