< 2 Samuel 6 >
1 Then David again gathered together all the elect men of Israel, thirty thousand.
O rĩngĩ, Daudi agĩcookanĩrĩria andũ arĩa maarĩ njamba a Isiraeli othe, nao maarĩ ngiri mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
2 And David arose and went away, with the entire people who were with him from the men of Judah, so that they might lead back the ark of God, over which is invoked the name of the Lord of hosts, who sits upon the cherubim above 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 And they placed the ark of God on a new cart. And they took it from the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeon. And Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove 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 And when they had taken it from the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeon, Ahio preceded the ark as the keeper of the ark of God.
ĩrĩ na ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa Ngai igũrũ rĩayo, nake Ahio nĩwe warĩtongoretie.
5 But David and all of Israel played before the Lord on every kind of musical instrument made of wood, and on harps, and lyres, and timbrels, and bells, 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 And after they had arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah extended his hand to the ark of God, and he touched it, because the oxen were kicking and had caused it to tip.
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 indignation of the Lord was enraged against Uzzah. And he struck him for his temerity. And there he died, 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 was saddened because the Lord had struck Uzzah. And the name of that place was called: the Striking of Uzzah, even to this day.
Nake Daudi akĩrakara tondũ mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova nĩmookĩrĩire Uza, na nginya ũmũthĩ handũ hau hetagwo Perezu-Uza.
9 And David was very fearful of the Lord on that day, saying, “How shall the ark of the Lord be brought to me?”
Nake Daudi agĩĩtigĩra Jehova mũthenya ũcio, akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ngaahota atĩa kũinũkia ithandũkũ rĩĩrĩ rĩa Jehova?”
10 And he was not willing to send the ark of the Lord to himself in the city of David. Instead, he sent it into the house of Obededom, 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 And the ark of the Lord dwelt in the house of Obededom the Gittite, for three months. And the Lord blessed Obededom, 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 And it was reported to king David that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that was his, because of the ark of God. Therefore, David went and brought the ark of God, from the house of Obededom, into the city of David with joy. And there were with David seven choirs, and calves for victims.
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 And when those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had traveled six steps, he immolated an ox and a ram.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ acio maakuuĩte ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova maakinya makinya matandatũ-rĩ, Daudi akĩruta igongona rĩa ndegwa na gacaũ kanoru.
14 And David danced with all his ability before the Lord. And David was girded with the linen ephod.
Daudi akĩina arĩ mbere ya Jehova na hinya wake wothe, ehumbĩte ebodi ya gatani;
15 And David, and all the house of Israel, were leading the ark of the testament of the Lord, with jubilation and the sound of the trumpet.
nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi na nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli makĩambatia ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova makĩanagĩrĩra na makĩhuhaga tũrumbeta.
16 And when the ark of the Lord had entered into the city of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looking out through a window, 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 And they led in the ark of the Lord. And they set it in its place in the middle of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it. And David offered holocausts and peace offerings in the sight of 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 And when he had completed offering holocausts 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 And he distributed to the entire multitude of Israel, as much to men as to women, to each one: one loaf of bread, and one piece of roasted beef, and fine wheat flour fried with oil. And all the people went away, each one to his own house.
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 And David returned, so that he might bless his own house. And Michal, the daughter of Saul, going out to meet David, said: “How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself before the handmaids of his servants, and being unclothed, as if one of the performers were unclothed.”
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 And David said to Michal: “Before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father, and rather than his entire house, and who commanded me, that I should be the leader over the people of the Lord in Israel,
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 I will both play and demean myself, more so than I have done. And I will be little in my own eyes. And with the handmaids, about whom you are speaking, I will appear more glorious.”
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 so, there was no child born to Michal, the daughter of Saul, even to the day of her death.
Nake Mikali mwarĩ wa Saũlũ ndaagĩire ciana nginya mũthenya ũrĩa aakuire.
