1 Chronicles 13
1 And David consulted with the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, [and] with every leader.
Dawudi n’ateesa n’abaduumizi be ab’enkumi n’ab’ekikumi.
2 And David said to all the congregation of Israel, If [it seemeth] good to you, and [that it is] of the LORD our God, let us send abroad to our brethren every where, [that are] left in all the land of Israel, and with them [also] to the priests and Levites [who are] in their cities [and] suburbs, that they may assemble to 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 again to us the ark of our God: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul.
Tukomyewo essanduuko ya Katonda waffe, kubanga tetwamwebuuzangako mu mirembe gya Sawulo.”
4 And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right 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 assembled all Israel, from Shihor of Egypt even to the entrance of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-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, [that is], to Kirjath-jearim, 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].
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 in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
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 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.
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 to the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
Bwe baatuuka ku gguuliro lya Kidoni, ente ezaali zisika essanduuko ne zeesittalamu, Uzza n’agolola omukono gwe okutereeza essanduuko.
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.
Obusungu bwa Mukama ne bubuubuukira Uzza, n’afiirawo, kubanga yakwata ku ssanduuko. N’afiira mu maaso ga Katonda.
11 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to 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 that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God [home] to me?
Dawudi n’atya nnyo Katonda ku lunaku olwo, n’abuuza nti, “Nnyinza ntya okuleeta essanduuko ya Katonda gye ndi?”
13 So David brought not the ark to himself to the city of David, but carried 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 family of Obed-edom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house 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.
