1 Chronicles 13

1 And David consulteth with the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, every leader,

Pea naʻe faʻa fakakaukau ʻa Tevita fakataha mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau naʻe pule ki he ngaahi toko afe mo e ngaahi toko teau, pea mo e kau takimuʻa kotoa pē.

2 and David saith to all the assembly of Israel, 'If unto you it be good, and from Jehovah our God it hath broken forth — we send unto our brethren, those left in all the lands of Israel, and with them the priests and the Levites, in the cities of their suburbs, and they are gathered unto us,

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita ki he fakataha kātoa ʻo ʻIsileli, “Kapau ʻoku lelei kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻoku finangalo ki ai ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, tuku ketau fekau atu ki hotau kāinga ʻi he potu kotoa pē, ʻakinautolu ʻoku toe ʻi he potu fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ki he kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai fakataha mo kinautolu, ʻi he ngaahi kolo mo honau ngaahi potu ofi, koeʻuhi ke nau fakataha mai kiate kitautolu;

3 and we bring round the ark of our God unto us, for we sought Him not in the days of Saul.'

Pea ke tau toe ʻomi kiate kitautolu ʻae puha [ʻoe fuakava ]ʻo hotau ʻOtua kiate kitautolu: he naʻe ʻikai te tau fakafehuʻi ki ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Saula.”

4 And all the assembly say to do so, for the thing is right in the eyes of all the people.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fakataha kotoa pē te nau fai ia: he naʻe matamata totonu ʻae meʻa ni ki he kakai kotoa pē.

5 And David assembleth all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering in of Hamath, to bring in the ark of God from Kirjath-Jearim,

Ko ia naʻe fakataha ai ʻe Tevita, ʻae kakai kotoa pē, mei Sihoa ʻi ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu atu ki he hūʻanga ki Hamati, koeʻuhi ke ʻomi ʻae puha [ʻoe fuakava ]ʻoe ʻOtua mei Kesa-Sialimi.

6 and David goeth up, and all Israel, to Baalah, unto Kirjath-Jearim that [is] to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God Jehovah, inhabiting the cherubs, where the Name is called on.

Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Tevita, pea mo ʻIsileli kātoa, ki Peala, (ʻaia ko Kesasialimi, ) ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Siuta, ke ʻohake mei ai ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻoe ʻOtua ko Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo selupi, pea ʻoku ui ʻaki ia ʻa hono huafa.

7 And they place the ark of God on a new cart, from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio are leading the cart,

Pea naʻa nau fakaheka ʻae puha [ʻoe fuakava ]ʻoe ʻOtua ki he saliote foʻou mei he fale ʻo ʻApinatapi: pea naʻe angi ki he saliote ʻe Usa mo ʻAhio.

8 and David and all Israel are playing before God, with all strength, and with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

Pea naʻe tā meʻa faiva ʻe Tevita pea mo ʻIsileli kātoa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ʻaki ʻenau mālohi kotoa, pea ʻi he hiva, mo e tā ʻae haʻape, mo e ngaahi ūtete, mo e ngaahi kihiʻi lali, mo e ukamea tatangi, pea mo e ngaahi meʻalea.

9 And they come in unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, and Uzza putteth forth his hand to seize the ark, for the oxen were released,

Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ange ki he fale hahaʻanga uite ʻo Kitoni, naʻe ala atu ʻe Usa ʻa hono nima ke puke ki he puha; he naʻe ngaueue ia ʻi he ʻalu ʻae fanga pulu.

10 and the anger of Jehovah is kindled against Uzza, and He smiteth him, because that he hath put forth his hand on the ark, and he dieth there before God.

Pea naʻe fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova kia Usa, pea naʻa ne taaʻi ia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ala ʻa hono nima ki he puha: pea naʻa ne mate ai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.

11 And it is displeasing to David, because Jehovah hath made a breach upon Uzza, and one calleth that place 'Breach of Uzza' unto this day.

Pea naʻe mamahi ʻa Tevita, koeʻuhi ko e teʻia ʻa Usa ʻe Sihova: pea ko ia kuo ui ai ʻae potu ko ia ko Pelesiusa, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.

12 And David feareth God on that day, saying, 'How do I bring in unto me the ark of God?'

Pea naʻe manavahē ʻa Tevita ki he ʻOtua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE fēfē ʻa ʻeku ʻomi kiate au ʻae puha [ʻoe fuakava ]ʻoe ʻOtua?”

13 And David hath not turned aside the ark unto himself, unto the city of David, and turneth it aside unto the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

Ko ia naʻe ʻikai ʻomi ai ʻe Tevita ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava kiate ia ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ka naʻa ne afe atu mo ia ki he fale ʻo ʻOpeti-itomi ko e tangata Kati.

14 And the ark of God dwelleth with the household of Obed-Edom, in his house, three months, and Jehovah blesseth the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he hath.

Pea naʻe nofo aipē ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he ʻapi ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi ʻi hono fale ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu. Pea naʻe fakamonūʻia ʻe Sihova ʻae fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi, pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne maʻu.
