1 Chronicles 13
1 And David consulted with the officers of the thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
UDavida wasecebisana lezinduna zezinkulungwane lezamakhulu laye wonke umphathi.
2 And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, if it seem good unto you, and if it be of the Lord our God, let us send widely about unto our brethren who are left in all the lands of Israel, and with them unto the priests and Levites who are in their cities and open districts, that they may gather themselves together unto us.
UDavida wasesithi ebandleni lonke lakoIsrayeli: Uba kulungile kini, njalo kuvela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wethu, kasisabalale sithumele kubafowethu abaseleyo emazweni wonke akoIsrayeli lakubapristi lamaLevi alabo emizini, emadlelweni, ukuze babuthane kithi.
3 And let us bring round the ark of our God to us; for we have inquired not at it in the days of Saul.
Besesibuyisa kithi umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wethu, ngoba kasiwudinganga ensukwini zikaSawuli.
4 And all the congregation said that this should be done; for the king was right in the eyes of all the people.
Ibandla lonke laselisithi kwenziwe njalo, ngoba udaba lwalulungile emehlweni abo bonke abantu.
5 So David assembled all Israel together, from Shichor of Egypt even unto the entrance of Chemath, to bring the ark of God from Kiryath-ye'arim.
UDavida wasebuthanisa uIsrayeli wonke kusukela eShihori yeGibhithe kuze kube sekungeneni kweHamathi ukuletha umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu usuka eKiriyathi-Jeyarimi.
6 And David went up, with all Israel, to Ba'alah, [that is] to Kiryath-ye'arim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the Lord, that dwelleth between the cherubim, whose name is called [on it].
UDavida loIsrayeli wonke basebesenyukela eBhahala, eKiriyathi-Jeyarimi eyakoJuda, ukuze benyuse lapho umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu iNkosi, ehlala phakathi kwamakherubhi phezu kwawo, lapho ibizo elibizwa khona.
7 And they conveyed the ark of God in a new wagon out of the house of Abinadab: and 'Uzza and Achyo guided the wagon.
Basebewuthwala umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu ngenqola entsha bewususa endlini kaAbinadaba; njalo oUza loAhiyo babetshayela leyonqola.
8 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and on harps, and on psalteries, and on tambourines, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
UDavida loIsrayeli wonke babedlala-ke phambi kukaNkulunkulu ngamandla wonke, langengoma, langamachacho, langezigubhu zezintambo, langezingungu, langezinsimbi ezincencethayo, langezimpondo.
9 And when they came as far as the threshing-floor of Kidon, 'Uzza put forth his hand to take hold of the ark; for the oxen shook it.
Lapho befika ebaleni lokubhulela likaKidoni, uUza welula isandla sakhe ukubamba umtshokotsho, ngoba inkabi zakhubeka.
10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against 'Uzza, and he smote him, because he had put forth his hand toward the ark: and he died there before God.
Ulaka lweNkosi lwaselumvuthela uUza, yamtshaya, ngenxa yokuthi welulela isandla sakhe emtshokotshweni; wasefela khonapho phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
11 And it was grievious to David, because the Lord had suddenly taken away 'Uzza; and he called that place Perez-'uzza [[Breach of 'Uzza]] until this day.
UDavida wasethukuthela ngoba iNkosi imfohlele ngokufohla uUza; waseyibiza leyondawo ngokuthi yiPerezi-Uza, kuze kube lamuhla.
12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring home to me the ark of God?
UDavida wasemesaba uNkulunkulu ngalolosuku, esithi: Ngizawuletha njani kimi umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu?
13 So David removed not the ark unto himself into the city of David, but had it carried round into the house of 'Obed-edom the Gittite.
Ngakho uDavida kawulethanga umtshokotsho kuye emzini kaDavida, kodwa wawuphambulela endlini kaObedi-Edoma umGithi.
14 And the ark of God remained in the house of 'Obed-edom, in his house, three months. And the Lord blessed the house of 'Obed-edom, and all that belonged to him.
Ngakho umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu wahlala kwabendlu kaObedi-Edoma endlini yakhe inyanga ezintathu. INkosi yasibusisa indlu kaObedi-Edoma lakho konke ayelakho.
