< Kronika 1 13 >

1 David de aɖaŋu kple eƒe aʋafiawo kple asrafo akpewo kple alafawo nunɔlawo.
And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
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 unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of YHWH our Elohim, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto 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 bring again the ark of our Elohim to us: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul.
4 Ame sia ame lɔ̃ ɖe nya sia dzi enumake elabena nya la dze wo ŋu.
And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
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 gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hamath, to bring the ark of Elohim from Kirjath-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, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of Elohim YHWH, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.
7 Wotsɔe da ɖe tasiaɖam yeye aɖe dzi tso Abinadab ƒe aƒe me. Uza kple Ahio kplɔ nyiawo.
And they carried the ark of Elohim in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave 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.
And David and all Israel played before Elohim with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
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 unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
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 anger of YHWH was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before Elohim.
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 displeased, because YHWH had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called 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 David was afraid of Elohim that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of Elohim home 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 brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside 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 Elohim remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months. And YHWH blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
