< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 David again assembled the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand in all.
O rĩngĩ, Daudi agĩcookanĩrĩria andũ arĩa maarĩ njamba a Isiraeli othe, nao maarĩ ngiri mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
2 And he and all his troops set out for Baale of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name— the name of the LORD of Hosts, who is enthroned between the cherubim that are on it.
Daudi arĩ hamwe na andũ acio ake othe magĩthiĩ moimĩte Baala kũu Juda makambatie ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai marĩrute kuo, ithandũkũ rĩrĩa rĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa Rĩake, naguo ũguo nĩ ta kuuga Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ũrĩa ũikaraga gatagatĩ ka makerubi marĩa marĩ igũrũ rĩa ithandũkũ rĩu.
3 They set the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart,
Nao makĩigĩrĩra ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai ngaari-inĩ njerũ ya ngʼombe, makĩrĩruta nyũmba ya Abinadabu, ĩrĩa yarĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ. Nao Uza na Ahio, ariũ a Abinadabu, nĩo maatongoretie ngaari ĩyo njerũ
4 bringing with it the ark of God. And Ahio was walking in front of the ark.
ĩrĩ na ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa Ngai igũrũ rĩayo, nake Ahio nĩwe warĩtongoretie.
5 David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the LORD with all kinds of wood instruments, harps, stringed instruments, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals.
Nake Daudi na nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli maarũũhagia na hinya wao wothe marĩ mbere ya Jehova, makaina nyĩmbo na inanda cia kĩnũbi, na inanda cia mũgeeto, na tũhembe, na njingiri na thaani iria ihũũrithanagio ikagamba.
6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen had stumbled.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maakinyire kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano kĩa Nakoni, ndegwa ikĩhĩngwo, Uza agĩtambũrũkia guoko akanyiitĩrĩra ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai tondũ ndegwa nĩ ciahĩngĩtwo.
7 And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and God struck him down on the spot for his irreverence, and he died there beside the ark of God.
Namo marakara ma Jehova magĩakanĩra Uza tondũ wa gĩĩko kĩu gĩa kwaga gĩtĩĩo; Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai akĩmũgũtha akĩgũa, agĩkuĩra hakuhĩ na ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai.
8 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.
Nake Daudi akĩrakara tondũ mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova nĩmookĩrĩire Uza, na nginya ũmũthĩ handũ hau hetagwo Perezu-Uza.
9 That day David feared the LORD and asked, “How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?”
Nake Daudi agĩĩtigĩra Jehova mũthenya ũcio, akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ngaahota atĩa kũinũkia ithandũkũ rĩĩrĩ rĩa Jehova?”
10 So he was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
Nake ndetĩkĩrire gũtwara ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa Jehova kũu aatũire, itũũra-inĩ inene rĩa Daudi. Handũ ha ũguo, aarĩtwarire kwa Obedi-Edomu ũrĩa Mũgiiti.
11 Thus the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the LORD blessed him and all his household.
Ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa Jehova rĩgĩikara nyũmba-inĩ ya Obedi-Edomu ũrĩa Mũgiiti mĩeri ĩtatũ, nake Jehova akĩmũrathima hamwe na nyũmba yake yothe.
12 Now it was reported to King David, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and had the ark of God brought up from the house of Obed-edom into the City of David with rejoicing.
Na rĩrĩ, Mũthamaki Daudi akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩarathimĩte nyũmba ya Obedi-Edomu na kĩrĩa gĩothe arĩ nakĩo, tondũ wa ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩikũrũka akĩruta ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai kuuma nyũmba ya Obedi-Edomu akĩrĩtwara itũũra inene rĩa Daudi akenete.
13 When those carrying the ark of the LORD had advanced six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ acio maakuuĩte ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova maakinya makinya matandatũ-rĩ, Daudi akĩruta igongona rĩa ndegwa na gacaũ kanoru.
14 And David, wearing a linen ephod, danced with all his might before the LORD,
Daudi akĩina arĩ mbere ya Jehova na hinya wake wothe, ehumbĩte ebodi ya gatani;
15 while he and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and the sounding of the ram’s horn.
nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi na nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli makĩambatia ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova makĩanagĩrĩra na makĩhuhaga tũrumbeta.
16 As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from a window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, and she despised him in her heart.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova rĩatoonyaga itũũra inene rĩa Daudi-rĩ, Mikali mwarĩ wa Saũlũ agĩcũthĩrĩria arĩ ndirica-inĩ. Na rĩrĩa onire Mũthamaki Daudi akĩrũga-rũga akĩinaga mbere ya Jehova, akĩmũnyarara ngoro-inĩ yake.
17 So they brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
Nao makĩrehe ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova na makĩrĩiga handũ harĩo thĩinĩ wa hema ĩrĩa Daudi aambĩte nĩ ũndũ warĩo, nake Daudi akĩruta maruta ma njino na ma ũiguano mbere ya Jehova.
18 When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Hosts.
Aarĩkia kũruta magongona ma njino, na maruta ma ũiguano-rĩ, akĩrathima andũ thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
19 Then he distributed to every man and woman among the multitude of Israel a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. And all the people departed, each for his own home.
Ningĩ akĩheana mũgate, na gĩkũmba gĩa thabibũ, na gĩcunjĩ kĩa nyama kũrĩ mũndũ o wothe warĩ gĩkundi-inĩ kĩu gĩa Isiraeli, arũme na andũ-a-nja o ũndũ ũmwe. Nao andũ othe makĩinũka mĩciĩ kwao.
20 As soon as David returned home to bless his own household, Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today!” she said. “He has uncovered himself today in the sight of the maidservants of his subjects, like a vulgar person would do.”
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Daudi aacookire mũciĩ akarathime andũ a nyũmba yake-rĩ, Mikali mwarĩ wa Saũlũ agĩũka kũmũtũnga, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩakĩĩonanĩtie ũmũthĩ-ĩ, agakĩruta nguo mbere ya ngombo cia airĩtu cia ndungata ciake, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ ũtarĩ thoni angĩĩka!”
21 But David said to Michal, “I was dancing before the LORD, who chose me over your father and all his house when He appointed me ruler over the LORD’s people Israel. I will celebrate before the LORD,
Daudi akĩĩra Mikali atĩrĩ, “Nyuma mbere ya Jehova ũrĩa wathuurire niĩ handũ ha thoguo kana mũndũ o na ũmwe wa nyũmba yake, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aathuurire nduĩke mũthamaki wa gũthamakĩra andũ a Jehova, nĩo andũ a Isiraeli, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio no nginya nyine ndĩ mbere ya Jehova.
22 and I will humiliate and humble myself even more than this. Yet I will be honored by the maidservants of whom you have spoken.”
O na nĩ ngũkĩrĩrĩria kwĩyagithia gĩtĩĩo gũkĩra ũũ, na nĩngwĩnyiihia maitho-inĩ makwa. No rĩrĩ, ndungata icio cia airĩtu wagweta-rĩ, niĩ nĩgũtĩĩo ngũtĩĩo nĩcio.”
23 And Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
Nake Mikali mwarĩ wa Saũlũ ndaagĩire ciana nginya mũthenya ũrĩa aakuire.
