1 Maũndũ 13
1 Daudi nĩmagĩire ndundu na anene ake a ita, arĩa maathaga ikundi cia thigari ngiri na ikundi cia thigari igana.
And David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.
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 David said unto all the assembly of Israel: 'If it seem good unto you, and if it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad everywhere unto our brethren that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites that are in their cities that have open land about them, that they may gather themselves unto 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 sought not unto it in the days of Saul.'
4 Kĩũngano gĩothe gĩgĩtĩkĩra gwĩka ũguo tondũ andũ othe nĩmoonire ũndũ ũcio nĩwagĩrĩire.
And all the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of 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.
So David assembled all Israel together, from Shihor the brook of Egypt even unto the entrance of Hamath, 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 went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, the LORD that sitteth upon the cherubim, whereon is called the Name.
7 Makĩruta ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai kuuma nyũmba ya Abinadabu rĩkuuĩtwo na ikaari rĩerũ, rĩtongoretio nĩ Uza na Ahio.
And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio 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.
And David and all Israel played before God with all their might; even with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with 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 came unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
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 the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and He smote him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God.
11 Nake Daudi akĩrakara tondũ mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova nĩmookĩrĩire Uza, nĩ ũndũ ũcio handũ hau hetagwo Perezu-Uza nginya ũmũthĩ.
And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth upon Uzza; and that place was called Perez-uzza unto this day.
12 Daudi agĩĩtigĩra Ngai mũthenya ũcio, akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ngaahota atĩa kũrehe ithandũkũ rĩĩrĩ rĩa Ngai kũrĩ niĩ?”
And David was afraid of God that day, saying: 'How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?'
13 Tondũ ũcio Daudi ndaathiire na ithandũkũ rĩu Itũũra-inĩ Inene rĩa Daudi. Handũ ha ũguo, aarĩtwarire kwa Obedi-Edomu ũrĩa Mũgiiti.
So David removed not the ark unto him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom 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.
And 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.
