< 1 Chronicles 13 >

1 And David consulted with the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and with all the commanders.
Daudi nĩmagĩire ndundu na anene ake a ita, arĩa maathaga ikundi cia thigari ngiri na ikundi cia thigari igana.
2 And he said to all the assembly of Israel: If it please you; and if the words which I speak come from the Lord our God, let us send to the rest of our brethren into all the countries of Israel, and to the priests, and the Levites, that dwell in the suburbs of the cities, to gather themselves to us,
Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩĩra kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩona kwagĩrĩire na angĩkorwo nĩ kwenda kwa Jehova Ngai witũ, nĩ tũtũme ũhoro kũndũ na kũndũ kũrĩ ariũ a ithe witũ arĩa angĩ marĩ kũndũ guothe ngʼongo-inĩ cia Isiraeli, o na kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii arĩa me hamwe nao matũũra-inĩ mao na ũrĩithio-inĩ wao, moke manyiitanĩre na ithuĩ.
3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we sought it not in the days of Saul.
Nĩtũrehei ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro rĩa Ngai witũ tũrĩcookie kũrĩ ithuĩ, nĩgũkorwo tũtiatuĩragia ũhoro harĩ rĩo hĩndĩ ya ũthamaki wa Saũlũ.”
4 And all the multitude answered that it should be so: for the word pleased all the people.
Kĩũngano gĩothe gĩgĩtĩkĩra gwĩka ũguo tondũ andũ othe nĩmoonire ũndũ ũcio nĩwagĩrĩire.
5 So David assembled all Israel from Sihor of Egypt, even to the entering into Emath, to bring the ark of God from Cariathiarim.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩcookanĩrĩria andũ a Isiraeli othe kuuma Rũũĩ rwa Shihoru kũu Misiri nginya Lebo-Hamathu, makagĩĩre ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai kuuma Kiriathu-Jearimu.
6 And David went up with all the men of Israel to the hill of Cariathiarim which is in Juda, to bring thence the ark of the Lord God sitting upon the cherubims, where his name is called upon.
Daudi na andũ a Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ nake magĩthiĩ Baala kũu Juda (nĩkuo Kiriathu-Jearimu) makagĩĩre ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova Ngai ũrĩa ũikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene gatagatĩ ka makerubi, o ithandũkũ rĩu rĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩake.
7 And they carried the ark of God upon a new cart, out of the house of Abinadab. And Oza and his brother drove the cart.
Makĩruta ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai kuuma nyũmba ya Abinadabu rĩkuuĩtwo na ikaari rĩerũ, rĩtongoretio nĩ Uza na Ahio.
8 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might with hymns, and with harps, and with psalteries, and timbrels, and cymbals, and trumpets,
Daudi na andũ a Isiraeli othe magĩkũngũĩra na hinya wao wothe marĩ mbere ya Ngai, makĩinaga na inanda cia mũgeeto na cia kĩnũbi, na tũhembe, na thaani iria ihũũrithanagio ikagamba, na tũrumbeta.
9 And when they came to the floor of Chidon, Oza put forth his hand, to hold up the ark: for the ox being wanton had made it lean a little on one side.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maakinyire kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano gĩa Kidoni, Uza agĩtambũrũkia guoko nĩguo anyiitĩrĩre ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro, tondũ ndegwa nĩciahĩngirwo.
10 And the Lord was angry with Oza, and struck him, because he had touched the ark; and he died there before the Lord.
Na rĩrĩ, marakara ma Jehova nĩmakanĩire Uza, akĩmũgũtha, akĩgũa tondũ nĩanyiitire ithandũkũ rĩu na guoko. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Uza agĩkuĩra o hau mbere ya Ngai.
11 And David was troubled because the Lord had divided Oza: and he called that place the Breach of Oza to this day.
Nake Daudi akĩrakara tondũ mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova nĩmookĩrĩire Uza, nĩ ũndũ ũcio handũ hau hetagwo Perezu-Uza nginya ũmũthĩ.
12 And he feared God at that time, saying: How can I bring in the ark of God to me?
Daudi agĩĩtigĩra Ngai mũthenya ũcio, akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ngaahota atĩa kũrehe ithandũkũ rĩĩrĩ rĩa Ngai kũrĩ niĩ?”
13 And therefore he brought it not home to himself, that is, into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gethite.
Tondũ ũcio Daudi ndaathiire na ithandũkũ rĩu Itũũra-inĩ Inene rĩa Daudi. Handũ ha ũguo, aarĩtwarire kwa Obedi-Edomu ũrĩa Mũgiiti.
14 And the ark of God remained in the house of Obededom three months: and the Lord blessed his house, and all that he had.
Ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa Ngai rĩaikarire na andũ a nyũmba ya Obedi-Edomu gwake mũciĩ mĩeri ĩtatũ, nake Jehova akĩrathima andũ a mũciĩ wake, o na kĩrĩa gĩothe aarĩ nakĩo.
