1 Istwa 13
1 David reyini tout chèf lamè a, ni sa ki te alatèt rejiman mil (1000) sòlda yo ni sa ki te alatèt divizyon san sòlda yo, li pran konsèy nan men yo.
And David took counsel with the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, [even with] every commander.
2 Lèfini, David di pèp Izrayèl la: -Si nou wè se yon bon lide, si se volonte Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou pral voye misyon bay tout frè nou yo ki rete toupatou nan tout peyi a, bay tout prèt yo ak tout moun Levi yo nan lavil kote yo rete ak nan savann kote yo fè gadinaj, pou yo vin mete tèt yo ansanm ak nou,
And David said to the whole congregation of Israel, If it [seem] good to you, and it should be prospered by the Lord our God, let us send to our brethren that are left in all the land of Israel, and let the priests the Levites who are with them in the cities of their possession [come], and let them be gathered to us.
3 pou n' al chache Bwat Kontra Bondye nou an, paske nou te bliye l' pandan tout rèy Sayil la.
And let us bring over to us the ark of our God; for men have not enquired [at] it since the days of Saul.
4 Tout pèp la te dakò pou yo te fè sa, paske yo wè se te yon bon lide.
And all the congregation said that they would do thus; for the saying was right in the eyes of all the people.
5 Se konsa, David reyini tout pèp Izrayèl la nan tout peyi a, depi kannal Sikò sou fwontyè ak peyi Lejip la rive jouk Pas Amat la, pou y' al chache Bwat Kontra a lavil Kiriyat-Jarim.
So David assembled all Israel, from the borders of Egypt even to the entering in of Hemath, to bring in the ark of God from the city of Jarim.
6 Se konsa li pati avèk tout pèp Izrayèl la, pou lavil Kiriyat-Jarim yo te rele Baala tou, nan peyi Jida, pou y' al chache Bwat Kontra Bondye a, bwat ki pote non Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Seyè ki gen fotèy li anwo zanj cheriben yo.
And David brought it up: and all Israel went up to the city of David, which belonged to Juda, to bring up thence the ark of the Lord God who sits between the cherubim, whose name is called [on it].
7 Lè yo rive kay Abinadab, yo pran Bwat la, yo mete l' sou yon kabwa tou nèf. Ouza ak Akijo t'ap mennen kabwa a.
And they set the ark of God on a new waggon [brought] out of the house of Aminadab: and Oza and his brethren drove the waggon.
8 David ansanm ak tout moun Izrayèl yo menm t'ap danse ak tout nanm yo. Yo t'ap chante fè lwanj Seyè a, yo t'ap jwe gita ak bandjo, yo t'ap bat tanbouren ak senbal, yo t'ap kònen twonpèt.
And David and all Israel [were] playing before the Lord with all their might, and [that] together with singers, and with harps, and with lutes, with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
9 Lè yo rive bò glasi Kidon an, bèf yo bite, yo manke tonbe. Ouza lonje men l' pou kenbe Bwat Kontra a.
And they came as far as the threshing floor: and Oza put forth his hand to hold the ark, because the bullock moved it from [its place].
10 Men, Seyè a move sou Ouza, li touye l' frèt, paske li pa t' dwe manyen Bwat Kontra a. Bondye touye l', Ouza mouri la menm devan Bondye.
And the Lord was very angry with Oza, and struck him there, because of his stretching forth his hand upon the ark: and he died there before God.
11 David menm te fache dèske Seyè a te touye Ouza. Se konsa yo rele kote sa a Perèz-Ouza. Non sa a rete jouk jounen jòdi a.
And David was dispirited, because the Lord [had] made a breach on Oza: and he called that place the Breach of Oza until this day.
12 Lè sa a, David vin pè Seyè a, li di konsa: -M' pa wè ki jan pou m' pran Bwat Kontra a avè m' koulye a!
And David feared God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God in to myself?
13 Se konsa, li pran desizyon pa pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a lakay li nan lavil David. Li fè yo pote l' kay Obèd-Edon, yon moun lavil Gat.
So David brought not the ark home to himself into the city of David, but he turned it aside into the house of Abeddara the Gethite.
14 Bwat la pase twa mwa lakay Obèd-Edon, Seyè a te beni fanmi Obèd-Edon ak tout bagay ki te pou yo.
And the ark of God abode in the house of Abeddara three months: and God blessed Abeddara and all that he had.
