1 Chronicles 13
1 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.
Dawid ne ne mpanyimfo a nʼasraafo so asahene ne mmapɔmma nyinaa ka ho, tuu agyina.
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;
Na ɔkasa kyerɛɛ Israelfo a wɔahyia hɔ no nyinaa se, “Sɛ mopene so na sɛ ɛyɛ Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn pɛ a, momma yɛmfa nkra nkɔma Israelfo a wɔwɔ ɔman no afanan nyinaa a asɔfo ne Lewifo a wɔwɔ nkurow so ne adidibea ka ho. Momma yɛnto nsa mfrɛ wɔn, na wɔmmɛka yɛn ho.
3 and let us bring back the ark of our God to us; for we sought not unto it in the days of Saul.'
Bere adu sɛ yɛsan de yɛn Nyankopɔn Apam Adaka no ba, efisɛ Saulo ahenni bere so no, yɛampɛ anhwɛ.”
4 And all the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
Bagua no penee saa asɛm yi so efisɛ wohuu sɛ, wɔyɛ saa a, eye.
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.
Enti Dawid frɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa, efi ɔman no ti kosi ti, sɛ wɔmmɛka ne ho na wɔmfa Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no mfi Kiriat-Yearim mmra.
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.
Afei, Dawid ne Israelfo no nyinaa kɔɔ Baala a na wɔfrɛ no Kiriat-Yearim a ɛwɔ Yuda no sɛ wɔrekɔfa Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka a wɔde ahyɛ kerubim ntam na Awurade din da so no aba.
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.
Wɔde Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no sii teaseɛnam foforo so de fii Abinadab fi a Usa ne Ahio rekyerɛ kwan.
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.
Dawid ne Israelfo nyinaa fii wɔn ahoɔden mu too nnwom, bɔɔ mmɛn ahorow a bi yɛ asanku, mmɛnta, akasae, nnawuru ne ntorobɛnto dii ahurusi, Onyankopɔn anim.
9 And when they came unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
Nanso woduu Nakon awiporowbea no, anantwi no anan toto maa Usa teɛɛ ne nsa sɛ ɔreteɛ Apam Adaka no.
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.
Ɛhɔ na Awurade abufuw sɔre tiaa Usa ma owui, efisɛ ɔde ne nsa aka Apam Adaka no. Enti Usa wuu wɔ Onyankopɔn anim hɔ ara.
11 And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth upon Uzza; and that place was called Perez-uzza unto this day.
Dawid bo fuwii, efisɛ Awurade abufuw atia Usa. Ɔtoo beae hɔ din Peres-Usa a wɔda so frɛ hɔ saa de besi nnɛ.
12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying: 'How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?'
Afei, na Dawid suro Onyankopɔn, na obisae se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matumi de Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka yi aba abɛhwɛ so?”
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.
Enti Dawid yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔnna mmfa Apam Adaka no nkɔ Dawid kurow no mu. Mmom, ɔde kɔɔ Gatni, Obed-Edom fi wɔ Gat.
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.
Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no sii Obed-Edom abusuafo nkyɛn asram abiɛsa. Na Awurade hyiraa no ne ne fifo nyinaa.
