Kronika 1 13
1 David de aɖaŋu kple eƒe aʋafiawo kple asrafo akpewo kple alafawo nunɔlawo.
Then David had discussions with the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds and with every chief.
2 Emegbe la, egblɔ na Israel ha blibo la be, “Nenye be edze mia ŋu eye wònye Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu la, mina míaɖo du ɖe kpuiƒe kple didiƒe siaa ɖe mía nɔvi mamlɛ siwo le Israel ƒe anyigbawo katã dzi. Nenema ke míaɖo du ɖe nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo, ame siwo nɔ anyi kpli wo le woƒe duwo kple lãnyiƒewo me be woava kpe ɖe mía ŋu.
And David said to all the men of Israel who had come together there, If it seems good to you and if it is the purpose of the Lord our God, let us send to all the rest of our brothers, everywhere in the land of Israel, and to the priests and the Levites in their towns and the country round them, and get them to come together here to us;
3 Mina míaɖatsɔ míaƒe Mawu la ƒe nubablaɖaka la va mía gbɔe elabena míebia eta le Saul ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me o.”
And let us get back for ourselves the ark of our God: for in the days of Saul we did not go to it for directions.
4 Ame sia ame lɔ̃ ɖe nya sia dzi enumake elabena nya la dze wo ŋu.
And all the people said they would do so, for it seemed right to them.
5 Ale David yɔ Israelviwo katã tso Sihor tɔsisi le Egipte ŋu va se ɖe Hamat ƒe mɔnu ale be woanɔ anyi hafi woatsɔ Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la vɛ tso Kiriat Yearim.
So David sent for all Israel to come together, from Shihor, the river of Egypt, as far as the way into Hamath, to get the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
6 Ale Fia David kple Israel dukɔ blibo la yi Baala, si nye Kiriat Yearim le Yuda be yewoatsɔ Mawu Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka si woda ɖe kerubiwo tame la vɛ.
And David went up, with all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim in Judah, to get up from there the ark of God, over which the holy Name is named, the name of the Lord whose place is between the winged ones.
7 Wotsɔe da ɖe tasiaɖam yeye aɖe dzi tso Abinadab ƒe aƒe me. Uza kple Ahio kplɔ nyiawo.
And they put the ark of God on a new cart, and took it out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio were the drivers of the cart.
8 David kple Israel ƒe aƒe blibo la katã nɔ dzidzɔ kpɔm, nɔ ɣe ɖum kple woƒe ŋusẽ katã le Mawu ŋkume. Wonɔ ha dzim ɖe saŋkuwo, kasaŋkuwo, asiʋuiwo, gakogoewo kple kpẽwo ƒe ɖiɖi ŋu.
Then David and all Israel made melody before God with all their strength, with songs and corded instruments of music, and with brass instruments and horns.
9 Ke esi woɖo lugbɔƒe le Kidon la, Uza do asi ɖa be yeadzɔ nubablaɖaka la elabena nyiawo ƒe afɔwo kli nu.
And when they came to the grain-floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to keep the ark in its place, for the oxen were slipping.
10 Tete Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe Uza ŋu eye wòwui ɖe esi wòka asi nubablaɖaka la ŋu ta. Ale Uza ku ɖe afi ma le Mawu ƒe ŋkume.
And the wrath of the Lord, burning against Uzza, sent destruction on him because he had put his hand on the ark, and death came to him there before God.
11 David do dɔmedzoe ɖe Yehowa ŋu le nu si wòwɔ Uza la ta eye wòna ŋkɔ teƒe ma be, Perez Uza si, gɔmee nye, “Afi si wodo dɔmedzoe ɖe Uza ŋu le.” Ŋkɔ sia tsi teƒe la ŋu va se ɖe egbe.
And David was angry because of the Lord's outburst of wrath against Uzza, and he gave that place the name Perez-uzza, to this day.
12 Azɔ David vɔ̃ Mawu eye wòbia be “Aleke mawɔ hafi ate ŋu atsɔ Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la ava aƒee?”
And so great was David's fear of God that day, that he said, How may I let the ark of God come to me?
13 Eya ta David metsɔ nubablaɖaka la va eɖokui gbɔ le David ƒe Du la me o, ke boŋ ekɔe yi ɖada ɖe Obed Edom, ame si tso Git la ƒe aƒe me.
So David did not let the ark come back to him to the town of David, but had it turned away and put into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
14 Nubablaɖaka la nɔ afi ma le Obed Edom kple eƒe ƒometɔwo gbɔ ɣleti etɔ̃ eye Yehowa yra Obed Edom ƒe ƒome kple nu sia nu si le esi.
And the ark of God was in the house of Obed-edom for three months; and the Lord sent a blessing on the house of Obed-edom and on all he had.
