< 2 Samuel 6 >
1 Once again David called up all specially chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand in total.
O rĩngĩ, Daudi agĩcookanĩrĩria andũ arĩa maarĩ njamba a Isiraeli othe, nao maarĩ ngiri mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
2 He went with all his men to Baalah in Judah to bring back the Ark of God, which belongs to the Lord Almighty who sits between the cherubim that are on the Ark.
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 placed the Ark of God on a new cart and brought it from Abinadab's house, which was on a hill. Uzzah and Ahio, Abinadab's sons, were directing the 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 with the Ark of God on it, with Ahio walking in front of it.
ĩrĩ na ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa Ngai igũrũ rĩayo, nake Ahio nĩwe warĩtongoretie.
5 David and all the Israelites were celebrating in the Lord's presence, singing songs accompanied by zithers, harps, tambourines, rattles, 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 But when they came to the threshing floor of Nachon, the oxen stumbled, so Uzzah reached out to stop the Ark of God from falling.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maakinyire kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano kĩa Nakoni, ndegwa ikĩhĩngwo, Uza agĩtambũrũkia guoko akanyiitĩrĩra ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai tondũ ndegwa nĩ ciahĩngĩtwo.
7 The Lord was angry with Uzzah, and God struck him down right there for his disobedience, and 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 David was angry because of the Lord's violent outburst against Uzzah. He called the place Perez-uzzah, which is still its name today.
Nake Daudi akĩrakara tondũ mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova nĩmookĩrĩire Uza, na nginya ũmũthĩ handũ hau hetagwo Perezu-Uza.
9 David became afraid of the Lord that day. “How can I ever bring back the Ark of God home to me?” he asked.
Nake Daudi agĩĩtigĩra Jehova mũthenya ũcio, akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ngaahota atĩa kũinũkia ithandũkũ rĩĩrĩ rĩa Jehova?”
10 Not wanting to bring the Ark of the Lord to be with him in the City of David, he had it taken to the home 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 The Ark of the Lord remained in Obed-edom's home for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom's whole household.
Ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa Jehova rĩgĩikara nyũmba-inĩ ya Obedi-Edomu ũrĩa Mũgiiti mĩeri ĩtatũ, nake Jehova akĩmũrathima hamwe na nyũmba yake yothe.
12 King David was told, “The Lord has blessed Obed-edom's household and all that he has because of the Ark of God.” So David went and had the Ark of God brought from Obed-edom's house to the City of David. There was a lot of celebration!
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 After those carrying the Ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull 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 Wearing a priest's ephod, David danced as hard as he could before the Lord
Daudi akĩina arĩ mbere ya Jehova na hinya wake wothe, ehumbĩte ebodi ya gatani;
15 as he and all the Israelites brought along the Ark of the Lord, with plenty of shouting and the sound of horns being blown.
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 carried into the City of David, Saul's daughter Michal looked down from a window. She watched King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, and she really loathed him.
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 They brought the Ark of the Lord and put it on its place inside the tent that David had set up for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and friendship 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 Once he had finished offering the sacrifices, David blessed the people in the name of the Lord Almighty.
Aarĩkia kũruta magongona ma njino, na maruta ma ũiguano-rĩ, akĩrathima andũ thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
19 He gave all the Israelites, both men and women, a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. Then he sent everyone 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 When David got home to bless his family, Michal, Saul's daughter came out to meet him and said, “How distinguished the king of Israel made himself look today, taking off his robes so everyone's servant girls could see, just as somebody crude would expose himself!”
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 David told Michal, “I was dancing before the Lord, who chose me instead of your father and all his family when he named me ruler over the Lord's people Israel. I will continue to 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 in fact I'm going to make myself even less distinguished, become even more humble. However, I will be respected by those servant girls you spoke about.”
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, Saul's daughter, never had any children.
Nake Mikali mwarĩ wa Saũlũ ndaagĩire ciana nginya mũthenya ũrĩa aakuire.
