1 Maũndũ 13
1 Daudi nĩmagĩire ndundu na anene ake a ita, arĩa maathaga ikundi cia thigari ngiri na ikundi cia thigari igana.
Then David took counsel with the tribunes, and the centurions, and all the leaders.
2 Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩĩra kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩona kwagĩrĩire na angĩkorwo nĩ kwenda kwa Jehova Ngai witũ, nĩ tũtũme ũhoro kũndũ na kũndũ kũrĩ ariũ a ithe witũ arĩa angĩ marĩ kũndũ guothe ngʼongo-inĩ cia Isiraeli, o na kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii arĩa me hamwe nao matũũra-inĩ mao na ũrĩithio-inĩ wao, moke manyiitanĩre na ithuĩ.
And he said to the entire assembly of Israel: “If it pleases you, and if the words that I speak come from the Lord our God, let us send to the remainder of our brothers, in all the regions of Israel, and to the priests and Levites who live in the suburbs of the cities, so that they may gather to us.
3 Nĩtũrehei ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro rĩa Ngai witũ tũrĩcookie kũrĩ ithuĩ, nĩgũkorwo tũtiatuĩragia ũhoro harĩ rĩo hĩndĩ ya ũthamaki wa Saũlũ.”
And let us bring back the ark of our God to us. For we did not seek it during the days of Saul.”
4 Kĩũngano gĩothe gĩgĩtĩkĩra gwĩka ũguo tondũ andũ othe nĩmoonire ũndũ ũcio nĩwagĩrĩire.
And the entire multitude responded that it should be done. For the word had pleased all the people.
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩcookanĩrĩria andũ a Isiraeli othe kuuma Rũũĩ rwa Shihoru kũu Misiri nginya Lebo-Hamathu, makagĩĩre ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai kuuma Kiriathu-Jearimu.
Therefore, David gathered all of Israel, from Shihor of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, so as to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
6 Daudi na andũ a Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ nake magĩthiĩ Baala kũu Juda (nĩkuo Kiriathu-Jearimu) makagĩĩre ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova Ngai ũrĩa ũikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene gatagatĩ ka makerubi, o ithandũkũ rĩu rĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩake.
And David ascended with all the men of Israel to the hill of Kiriath-jearim, which is in Judah, so that he might bring from there the ark of the Lord God, sitting upon the Cherubim, where his name is invoked.
7 Makĩruta ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai kuuma nyũmba ya Abinadabu rĩkuuĩtwo na ikaari rĩerũ, rĩtongoretio nĩ Uza na Ahio.
And they placed the ark of God upon a new cart from the house of Abinadab. Then Uzzah and his brother drove the cart.
8 Daudi na andũ a Isiraeli othe magĩkũngũĩra na hinya wao wothe marĩ mbere ya Ngai, makĩinaga na inanda cia mũgeeto na cia kĩnũbi, na tũhembe, na thaani iria ihũũrithanagio ikagamba, na tũrumbeta.
Now David and all of Israel were playing before God, with all of their ability, in songs, and with harps, and psalteries, and timbrels, and cymbals, and trumpets.
9 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maakinyire kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano gĩa Kidoni, Uza agĩtambũrũkia guoko nĩguo anyiitĩrĩre ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro, tondũ ndegwa nĩciahĩngirwo.
And when they had arrived at the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out his hand, so that he might support the ark. For indeed, the ox being wanton had caused it to incline a little.
10 Na rĩrĩ, marakara ma Jehova nĩmakanĩire Uza, akĩmũgũtha, akĩgũa tondũ nĩanyiitire ithandũkũ rĩu na guoko. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Uza agĩkuĩra o hau mbere ya Ngai.
And so the Lord became angry against Uzzah. And he struck him down because he had touched the ark. And he died there before the Lord.
11 Nake Daudi akĩrakara tondũ mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova nĩmookĩrĩire Uza, nĩ ũndũ ũcio handũ hau hetagwo Perezu-Uza nginya ũmũthĩ.
And David was greatly saddened because the Lord had divided Uzzah. And he called that place ‘the Division of Uzzah,’ even to the present day.
12 Daudi agĩĩtigĩra Ngai mũthenya ũcio, akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ngaahota atĩa kũrehe ithandũkũ rĩĩrĩ rĩa Ngai kũrĩ niĩ?”
And then he feared God, at that time, saying: “How will I be able to bring in the ark of God to myself?”
13 Tondũ ũcio Daudi ndaathiire na ithandũkũ rĩu Itũũra-inĩ Inene rĩa Daudi. Handũ ha ũguo, aarĩtwarire kwa Obedi-Edomu ũrĩa Mũgiiti.
And for this reason, he did not bring it to himself, that is, into the City of David. Instead, he turned aside to the house of Obededom, the Gittite.
14 Ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa Ngai rĩaikarire na andũ a nyũmba ya Obedi-Edomu gwake mũciĩ mĩeri ĩtatũ, nake Jehova akĩrathima andũ a mũciĩ wake, o na kĩrĩa gĩothe aarĩ nakĩo.
Therefore, the ark of God dwelt in the house of Obededom for three months. And the Lord blessed his house and all that he had.
