< Kronika 1 13 >
1 David de aɖaŋu kple eƒe aʋafiawo kple asrafo akpewo kple alafawo nunɔlawo.
David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even 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.
David said to all the assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you, and if there is a breakthrough from the LORD our God, let us send abroad everywhere to our brothers who are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the cohanim and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, that they may gather themselves 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 bring again the ark of our God to us. For we did not seek it in the days of Saul."
4 Ame sia ame lɔ̃ ɖe nya sia dzi enumake elabena nya la dze wo ŋu.
All the assembly 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 assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor of Egypt even to Lebo Hamath, to bring 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, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of the LORD enthroned on the cherubim.
7 Wotsɔe da ɖe tasiaɖam yeye aɖe dzi tso Abinadab ƒe aƒe me. Uza kple Ahio kplɔ nyiawo.
They carried the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove 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.
David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, 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.
When they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, 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.
The anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he struck him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died 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.
David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place 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?”
David was afraid of God that day, saying, "How can I bring the ark of God 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 move the ark to him into the City of David, but diverted it to 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.
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.
