1 Chronicles 13
1 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.
Dawudi n’ateesa n’abaduumizi be ab’enkumi n’ab’ekikumi.
2 And David said unto all the assembly of Israel: 'If it seem good unto you, and if it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad everywhere unto our brethren that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites that are in their cities that have open land about them, that they may gather themselves unto us;
N’ayogera eri ekkuŋŋaaniro ly’abantu bonna aba Isirayiri nti, “Bwe munaasiima, era nga kwe kusiima kwa Mukama Katonda waffe, ekigambo kitwalibwe era kibune eri baganda baffe mu nsi yonna eya Isirayiri, n’eri bakabona, n’Abaleevi ababeera nabo mu bibuga byabwe ne mu malundiro, bajje batwegatteko.
3 and let us bring back the ark of our God to us; for we sought not unto it in the days of Saul.'
Tukomyewo essanduuko ya Katonda waffe, kubanga tetwamwebuuzangako mu mirembe gya Sawulo.”
4 And all the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
Olukuŋŋaana lwonna ne likikiriziganyako, kubanga ky’alabika nga kigambo kirungi mu maaso g’abantu bonna.
5 So David assembled all Israel together, from Shihor the brook of Egypt even unto the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
Awo Dawudi n’akuŋŋaanya Abayisirayiri bonna okuva ku Sikoli omugga gw’e Misiri okutuuka ku wayingirirwa e Kamasi, n’aleeta essanduuko ya Katonda okugiggya e Kiriyasuyalimu.
6 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, the LORD that sitteth upon the cherubim, whereon is called the Name.
Dawudi n’Abayisirayiri bonna ne bagenda e Baala, ye Kiriyasuyalimu, ekya Yuda okuggyayo essanduuko ya Katonda atuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka wakati wa bakerubi, eyitibwa erinnya lya Mukama.
7 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
Ne basitulira essanduuko ya Katonda ku ggaali eriggya okuva mu nnyumba ya Abinadaabu, nga Uzza ne Akiyo be bagikulembera.
8 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might; even with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
Dawudi ne Isirayiri yenna ne basanyuka nnyo mu maaso ga Katonda n’amaanyi gaabwe gonna, nga bayimba nga bakuba entongooli, n’ennanga, n’ebitaasa, n’ebisaala, n’amakondeere.
9 And when they came unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
Bwe baatuuka ku gguuliro lya Kidoni, ente ezaali zisika essanduuko ne zeesittalamu, Uzza n’agolola omukono gwe okutereeza essanduuko.
10 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and He smote him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God.
Obusungu bwa Mukama ne bubuubuukira Uzza, n’afiirawo, kubanga yakwata ku ssanduuko. N’afiira mu maaso ga Katonda.
11 And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth upon Uzza; and that place was called Perez-uzza unto this day.
Awo Dawudi n’anyiiga nnyo kubanga obusungu bwa Mukama bwagwa ku Uzza, era ekifo ekyo ne kituumibwa Perezuzza, ne leero.
12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying: 'How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?'
Dawudi n’atya nnyo Katonda ku lunaku olwo, n’abuuza nti, “Nnyinza ntya okuleeta essanduuko ya Katonda gye ndi?”
13 So David removed not the ark unto him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
Awo n’atatwala ssanduuko mu kibuga kya Dawudi, naye n’agitwala mu nnyumba ya Obededomu Omugitti.
14 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months; and the LORD blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
Essanduuko ya Katonda n’ebeera mu maka ga Obededomu okumala emyezi esatu, ne Mukama n’awa ennyumba ye n’ebintu bye byonna omukisa.
