1 Chronicles 13
1 And David consulted with the rulers of thousands and hundreds, even with every chief ruler.
Dawudi n’ateesa n’abaduumizi be ab’enkumi n’ab’ekikumi.
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;
N’ayogera eri ekkuŋŋaaniro ly’abantu bonna aba Isirayiri nti, “Bwe munaasiima, era nga kwe kusiima kwa Mukama Katonda waffe, ekigambo kitwalibwe era kibune eri baganda baffe mu nsi yonna eya Isirayiri, n’eri bakabona, n’Abaleevi ababeera nabo mu bibuga byabwe ne mu malundiro, bajje batwegatteko.
3 and let us bring round the ark of our God, unto us, —For they sought it not, in the days of Saul.
Tukomyewo essanduuko ya Katonda waffe, kubanga tetwamwebuuzangako mu mirembe gya Sawulo.”
4 Than said all the convocation, that it should be done thus, —for right was the thing, in the eyes of all the people.
Olukuŋŋaana lwonna ne likikiriziganyako, kubanga ky’alabika nga kigambo kirungi mu maaso g’abantu bonna.
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.
Awo Dawudi n’akuŋŋaanya Abayisirayiri bonna okuva ku Sikoli omugga gw’e Misiri okutuuka ku wayingirirwa e Kamasi, n’aleeta essanduuko ya Katonda okugiggya e Kiriyasuyalimu.
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.
Dawudi n’Abayisirayiri bonna ne bagenda e Baala, ye Kiriyasuyalimu, ekya Yuda okuggyayo essanduuko ya Katonda atuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka wakati wa bakerubi, eyitibwa erinnya lya Mukama.
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.
Ne basitulira essanduuko ya Katonda ku ggaali eriggya okuva mu nnyumba ya Abinadaabu, nga Uzza ne Akiyo be bagikulembera.
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.
Dawudi ne Isirayiri yenna ne basanyuka nnyo mu maaso ga Katonda n’amaanyi gaabwe gonna, nga bayimba nga bakuba entongooli, n’ennanga, n’ebitaasa, n’ebisaala, n’amakondeere.
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.
Bwe baatuuka ku gguuliro lya Kidoni, ente ezaali zisika essanduuko ne zeesittalamu, Uzza n’agolola omukono gwe okutereeza essanduuko.
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.
Obusungu bwa Mukama ne bubuubuukira Uzza, n’afiirawo, kubanga yakwata ku ssanduuko. N’afiira mu maaso ga Katonda.
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.
Awo Dawudi n’anyiiga nnyo kubanga obusungu bwa Mukama bwagwa ku Uzza, era ekifo ekyo ne kituumibwa Perezuzza, ne leero.
12 And David was afraid of God, on that day, saying, —How can I bring unto me, the ark of God?
Dawudi n’atya nnyo Katonda ku lunaku olwo, n’abuuza nti, “Nnyinza ntya okuleeta essanduuko ya Katonda gye ndi?”
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.
Awo n’atatwala ssanduuko mu kibuga kya Dawudi, naye n’agitwala mu nnyumba ya Obededomu Omugitti.
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.
Essanduuko ya Katonda n’ebeera mu maka ga Obededomu okumala emyezi esatu, ne Mukama n’awa ennyumba ye n’ebintu bye byonna omukisa.
