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 rulers of thousands and hundreds, even with every chief ruler.
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 all the convocation of Israel, If, unto you, it seemeth to be good, and from Yahweh our God, we will urgently send unto our brethren who remain in all the lands of Israel, and, with them, the priests and the Levites in their pasture-land cities, —that they may gather 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, unto us, —For they sought it not, in the days of Saul.
4 Tout pèp la te dakò pou yo te fè sa, paske yo wè se te yon bon lide.
Than said all the convocation, that it should be done thus, —for right was the thing, 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 convoked all Israel, from Shihor of Egypt, even unto the entering in of Hamath, —to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
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 and all Israel to Baalah, unto Kiriath-jearim, which pertaineth to Judah, —to bring up from thence, the ark of God—Yahweh who inhabiteth the cherubim, on which is called the Name.
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 carried the ark of God, upon a new waggon, out of the house of Aminadab, —and, Uzza and Ahio, were driving 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 dancing for joy before God, with all boldness, and with songs and with lyres, and with harps and 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, when they came as far as the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza thrust forth his hand, to seize the ark, for the oxen were restive.
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.
Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh against Uzza, and he smote him, because he thrust forth his hand unto 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 a sadness unto David, that Yahweh had broken in with a breach against Uzza, —and he called that place Perez-uzza, [as it is called] unto 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, on that day, saying, —How can I bring unto 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 him, into the city of David, —but took it aside 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 with the household of Obed-edom, in his house, three months, —and Yahweh blessed the household of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
