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.
David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even 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,
David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is of the LORD our God, let’s send word everywhere to our brothers who are left in all Eretz-Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have pasture lands, that they may gather themselves to us.
3 pou n' al chache Bwat Kontra Bondye nou an, paske nou te bliye l' pandan tout rèy Sayil la.
Also, let’s bring the ark of our God back to us again, for we didn’t seek 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.
All the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing 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 the Shihor River of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring God’s ark 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.
David went up with all Israel to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there God the LORD’s ark that sits above the cherubim, that is called by 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.
They carried God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house; and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
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.
David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with cymbals, and with shofars.
9 Lè yo rive bò glasi Kidon an, bèf yo bite, yo manke tonbe. Ouza lonje men l' pou kenbe Bwat Kontra a.
When they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled.
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.
The LORD’s anger burnt against Uzza, and he struck him because he put his hand on 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.
David was displeased, because the LORD had broken out against Uzza. He called that place Perez Uzza, to 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!
David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I bring God’s ark home to me?”
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 didn’t move the ark with him into David’s city, but carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.
14 Bwat la pase twa mwa lakay Obèd-Edon, Seyè a te beni fanmi Obèd-Edon ak tout bagay ki te pou yo.
God’s ark remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months; and the LORD blessed Obed-Edom’s house and all that he had.
