1 Chronicles 13
1 AND David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
Dawid ne ne mpanimfoɔ a nʼasraafoɔ asahene ne mmapɔmma nyinaa ka ho, tuu agyina.
2 And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the Lord our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:
Na ɔkasa kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ a wɔahyia hɔ no nyinaa sɛ, “Sɛ mopene so na sɛ ɛyɛ Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn pɛ a, momma yɛnto nkra nkɔma Israelfoɔ a wɔwɔ ɔman no afanan nyinaa a asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ a wɔwɔ nkuro so ne adidibea ka ho. Momma yɛnto nsa mfrɛ wɔn, na wɔmmɛka yɛn ho.
3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul.
Ɛberɛ aduru sɛ yɛsane de yɛn Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no ba, ɛfiri sɛ, Saulo ahennie ɛberɛ so no, yɛampɛ anhwɛ.”
4 And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
Badwa no penee saa asɛm yi so ɛfiri sɛ, wɔhunuu sɛ, wɔyɛ saa a, ɛyɛ.
5 So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim.
Enti, Dawid frɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa, ɛfiri ɔman no tire kɔsi tire, sɛ wɔmmɛka ne ho na wɔmfa Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no mfiri Kiriat-Yearim mmra.
6 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the Lord, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.
Afei, Dawid ne Israelfoɔ 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 carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.
Wɔde Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no sii teaseɛnam foforɔ so de firii Abinadab fie a Usa ne Ahio rekyerɛ ɛkwan.
8 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
Dawid ne Israelfoɔ nyinaa firii wɔn ahoɔden mu too nnwom, bɔɔ mmɛn ahodoɔ a ebi yɛ asankuo, mmɛnta, mpintin, nnawuro ne ntotorobɛnto dii ahurisie wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.
9 And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
Nanso wɔduruu Nakon ayuporobea no, anantwie no anan totoeɛ maa Usa tenee ne nsa sɛ ɔretene Apam Adaka no.
10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.
Ɛhɔ na Awurade abufuo sɔre tiaa Usa maa ɔwuiɛ ɛfiri sɛ, ɔde ne nsa aka Apam Adaka no. Enti Usa wuu wɔ Onyankopɔn anim hɔ ara.
11 And David was displeased, because the Lord had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to this day.
Dawid bo fuiɛ, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade abufuo atia Usa. Ɔtoo beaeɛ hɔ edin Peres-Usa a wɔda so frɛ hɔ saa de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
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 ɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matumi de Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka yi aba abɛhwɛ so?”
13 So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
Enti, Dawid yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔnna mfa Apam Adaka no nkɔ Dawid kuro no mu. Mmom, ɔde kɔɔ Gatni, Obed-Edom fie 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 abusuafoɔ nkyɛn abosome mmiɛnsa. Na Awurade hyiraa no ne ne fiefoɔ nyinaa.
