1 Chronicles 13
1 And David consulted with the rulers of thousands and hundreds, even with every chief ruler.
Davide anakambirana ndi akuluakulu ake, atsogoleri a anthu 1,000 ndi atsogoleri a anthu 100.
2 And David said to all the convocation of Israel, If, unto you, it seemeth to be good, and from Yahweh our God, we will urgently send unto our brethren who remain in all the lands of Israel, and, with them, the priests and the Levites in their pasture-land cities, —that they may gather together unto us;
Ndipo anati kwa gulu lonse la Israeli, “Ngati kukukomerani komanso ngati chili chifuniro cha Yehova Mulungu wathu, tiyeni titumize uthenga kulikonse kumene kuli abale athu ena onse ku dziko lonse la Israeli ndiponso kwa ansembe ndi Alevi amene ali nawo mʼmidzi yawo ndi madera odyetsera ziweto, kuti abwere adzakhale nafe.
3 and let us bring round the ark of our God, unto us, —For they sought it not, in the days of Saul.
Tiyeni tibweretsenso Bokosi la Mulungu wathu kuno kwathu, pakuti nthawi ya Sauli sitinafunse za bokosili.”
4 Than said all the convocation, that it should be done thus, —for right was the thing, in the eyes of all the people.
Gulu lonse linavomereza izi, pakuti anthu onse anaona kuti kunali kofunika kutero.
5 So David convoked all Israel, from Shihor of Egypt, even unto the entering in of Hamath, —to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
Kotero Davide anasonkhanitsa Aisraeli onse, kuchokera ku mtsinje wa Sihori ku Igupto mpaka ku Lebo Hamati, kuti abweretse Bokosi la Mulungu kuchokera ku Kiriati-Yearimu.
6 And David went up and all Israel to Baalah, unto Kiriath-jearim, which pertaineth to Judah, —to bring up from thence, the ark of God—Yahweh who inhabiteth the cherubim, on which is called the Name.
Davide pamodzi ndi Aisraeli onse anapita ku Baalahi (Kiriati-Yearimu) ku Yuda kukatenga Bokosi la Yehova Mulungu, amene amakhala pakati pa akerubi. Limeneli ndiye Bokosi la Chipangano lomwe limadziwika ndi Dzina lake.
7 And they carried the ark of God, upon a new waggon, out of the house of Aminadab, —and, Uzza and Ahio, were driving the waggon.
Iwo anachotsa Bokosi la Mulungu ku nyumba ya Abinadabu pa ngolo yatsopano. Uza ndi Ahiyo ndiwo ankayendetsa ngoloyo.
8 And, David and all Israel, were dancing for joy before God, with all boldness, and with songs and with lyres, and with harps and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
Davide pamodzi ndi Aisraeli onse ankakondwerera ndi mphamvu zawo zonse pamaso pa Mulungu, poyimba nyimbo pogwiritsa ntchito azeze, apangwe, matambolini, maseche ndi malipenga.
9 And, when they came as far as the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza thrust forth his hand, to seize the ark, for the oxen were restive.
Atafika pa malo opunthira tirigu ku Kidoni, Uza anatambalitsa dzanja lake kuti agwire bokosilo, chifukwa ngʼombe zinkafuna kugwa.
10 Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh against Uzza, and he smote him, because he thrust forth his hand unto the ark, —and he died there, before God.
Yehova anapsera mtima Uza ndipo anamukantha chifukwa chogwira bokosilo. Choncho iyeyo anafera pomwepo pamaso pa Mulungu.
11 And it was a sadness unto David, that Yahweh had broken in with a breach against Uzza, —and he called that place Perez-uzza, [as it is called] unto this day.
Ndipo Davide anakhumudwa chifukwa Yehova anakantha Uza ndipo mpaka lero malowo amatchedwa Perezi Uza.
12 And David was afraid of God, on that day, saying, —How can I bring unto me, the ark of God?
Tsiku limenelo Davide anachita mantha ndi Mulungu ndipo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi Bokosi la Mulungu lingafike bwanji kwathu?”
13 So David removed not the ark unto him, into the city of David, —but took it aside into the house of Obed-edom, the Gittite.
Iye sanapitenso nalo Bokosi la Mulungu ku Mzinda wa Davide. Mʼmalo mwake anapita nalo ku nyumba ya Obedi-Edomu Mgiti.
14 And the ark of God remained with the household of Obed-edom, in his house, three months, —and Yahweh blessed the household of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
Ndipo Bokosi la Mulungu linakhala mʼbanja la Obedi-Edomu mʼnyumba mwake kwa miyezi itatu ndipo Yehova anadalitsa nyumba yake ndi chilichonse chimene anali nacho.
