1 Weche Mag Ndalo 13
1 Daudi noporo wach kod jotende, jotend lweny alufe kod jotend lweny miche.
David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.
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.
David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is of the LORD our God, let’s send word everywhere to our brothers who are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have pasture lands, that they may gather themselves to us.
3 Eka mondo waom Sandug Muma mar Nyasachwa ma wakel ka nikech ne ok wamanye e kinde loch Saulo.”
Also, let’s bring the ark of our God back to us again, for we didn’t seek it in the days of Saul.”
4 Chokruokni duto noyie mondo otim mano nikech mano nonenore makare ni ji duto.
All the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
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 together, from the Shihor River of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring God’s ark 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 went up with all Israel to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there God the LORD’s ark that sits above the cherubim, 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.
They carried God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house; and Uzza and Ahio drove 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 Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with cymbals, and with 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 Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled.
10 To Jehova Nyasaye nokecho gi Uza kendo ne ochwade nikech nomako Sandug Muma omiyo notho e nyim Nyasaye.
The LORD’s anger burnt against Uzza, and he struck him because he put his hand on the ark; and 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.
David was displeased, because the LORD had broken out against Uzza. He called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.
12 Luoro nomako Daudi chiengʼno nikech Jehova Nyasaye mopenjo niya, “Ere kaka dakel Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye ka?”
David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I bring God’s ark home 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 David didn’t move the ark with him into David’s city, but carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.
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.
God’s ark remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months; and the LORD blessed Obed-Edom’s house and all that he had.
