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 consulted with the officers of the thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
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 unto all the congregation of Israel, if it seem good unto you, and if it be of the Lord our God, let us send widely about unto our brethren who are left in all the lands of Israel, and with them unto the priests and Levites who are in their cities and open districts, that they may gather themselves together unto 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 round the ark of our God to us; for we have inquired not at it in 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 this should be done; for the king 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 together, from Shichor of Egypt even unto the entrance of Chemath, to bring the ark of God from Kiryath-ye'arim.
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 went up, with all Israel, to Ba'alah, [that is] to Kiryath-ye'arim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the Lord, that dwelleth 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 conveyed the ark of God in a new wagon out of the house of Abinadab: and 'Uzza and Achyo guided the wagon.
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 played before God with all their might, and with singing, and on harps, and on psalteries, and on tambourines, 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 when they came as far as the threshing-floor of Kidon, 'Uzza put forth his hand to take hold of the ark; for the oxen shook it.
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 anger of the Lord was kindled against 'Uzza, and he smote him, because he had put forth his hand toward 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 it was grievious to David, because the Lord had suddenly taken away 'Uzza; and he called that place Perez-'uzza [[Breach of 'Uzza]] 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 was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring home to me the ark of God?
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 removed not the ark unto himself into the city of David, but had it carried round into the house of 'Obed-edom the Gittite.
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 remained in the house of 'Obed-edom, in his house, three months. And the Lord blessed the house of 'Obed-edom, and all that belonged to him.
