1 Chronicles 13
1 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.
Daudi akashuriana na wakuu wa jeshi la maelfu na mamia, na kila kiongozi.
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;
Daudi akasema kwa kusanyiko la Isaraeli, “Kama itakuwa vyema, na kama hii inatoka kwa Yahweh Mungu wetu, na tutume wajumbe kila sehemu kwa ndugu zetu walio baki maeneo yote ya Israeli, na kwa makuhani na Walawi walio kwenye miji yao. Waambiwe wajiunge nasi.
3 and let us bring back the ark of our God to us; for we sought not unto it in the days of Saul.'
Na tulete sanduku la Mungu wetu, kwa kuwa hatukutafuta mapenzi yake katika siku za Sauli.”
4 And all the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
Kusanyiko lote liliafiki kufanya haya yote, kwa kuwa yalionekana sawa machoni pa watu wote.
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.
Kwaiyo Daudi akakusanya Israeli yote, kutoka mto Shihori ulio Misri hadi Lebo Hamathi, kuleta sandaku la Mungu kutoka Kiriathi Yearimu.
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.
Daudi na Israeli yote walienda mpaka Baala, ambayo ni, Kiriathi Yearimu, ambao ni ya Yuda, kuleta sanduku la Mungu, ambalo linaitwa kwa jina la Yahweh, Yahweh, ambaye ameketi juu ya makerubi.
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.
Kwaiyo wakaketisha sanduku la Mungu juu ya chombo kipya cha matairi. Wakaleta nje ya nyumba ya Abinadabu. Uza na Ahio walikuwa wakilinda hicho chombo.
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.
Daudi na Israeli yote walikuwa wakishangilia mbele za Mungu kwa nguvu zao zote. Walikuwa wakiimba na vyombo vya uzi, vinubi, upatu, na tarumbeta.
9 And when they came unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
Walipo kuja eneo la kupeta mazao huko Kidoni, Uza alinyoosha mkono wake kuzuia sandaku, sababu ng'ombe aliyekuwa amebeba sanduku aliyumba.
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.
Hasira ya Yahweh ikawaka juu ya Uza, na Yahweh akamua kwasababu Uza alishika na mkono wake sanduku. Akafa pale mbele za Mungu.
11 And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth upon Uzza; and that place was called Perez-uzza unto this day.
Daudi alipatwa na hasira kwa kuwa Yahweh alimshambulia Uza. Hiyo sehemu inaitwa Perezi Uza hadi leo.
12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying: 'How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?'
Daudi alimuogopa Mungu hiyo siku. Akasema, “Nawezaje kuleta sanduku la Mungu nyumbani mwangu?”
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.
Kwaiyo Daudi hakuleta sanduku kwenye mji wa Daudi, lakini aliweka pembeni mwa nyumba ya Obedi Edomu Mgiti.
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.
Sanduku la Mungu lilibaki nyumbani mwa Obedi Edomu kwa miezi mitatu. Kwaiyo Yahweh akabariki nyumba yake na yote aliyo miliki.
