1 Istwa 13
1 Alò, David te fè konsèy ansanm avèk kapitèn a dè milye a dè santèn, menm avèk chak chèf.
Then David conferred with all his leaders, the commanders of hundreds and of thousands.
2 David te di a tout asanble Israël la: “Si li sanble bon a nou menm e si li soti nan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, annou voye toupatou mesaje a fanmi pa nou ki rete nan peyi Israël yo e osi, a prèt avèk Levit ki avèk yo nan vil pa yo, avèk teren pa yo, pou yo kapab reyini ansanm avèk nou.
And he said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this is of the LORD our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our brothers in all the land of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites in their cities and pasturelands, so that they may join us.
3 Konsa, annou pote tounen lach Bondye pa nou an, paske nan jou Saül yo, nou pa t chache li.”
Then let us bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of Him in the days of Saul.”
4 Alò, tout asanble a te di ke yo ta fè l, paske bagay la te bon nan zye a tout pèp la.
And because this proposal seemed right to all the people, the whole assembly agreed to it.
5 Konsa, David te rasanble tout Israël ansanm, soti nan Sichor nan Egypte jis rive nan antre Hamath, pou pote lach Bondye a soti Kirjath-Jearim.
So David assembled all Israel, from the River Shihor in Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
6 David avèk tout Israël te monte Baalah, sa vle di nan Kirjath-Jearim, ki apatyen a Juda, pou pote monte soti la, lach Bondye a, SENYÈ a, ki sou twòn li antre cheriben yo, kote non Li ap rele a.
David and all Israel went up to Baalah of Judah (that is, Kiriath-jearim) to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who is enthroned between the cherubim—the ark that is called by the Name.
7 Yo te pote lach Bondye a sou yon kabwèt nèf soti lakay Abinadab, Uzza avèk Achjo te kondwi kabwèt la.
So they carried the ark of God from the house of Abinadab on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding the cart.
8 David avèk tout Israël t ap selebre devan Bondye avèk tout fòs yo, menm avèk chan, avèk gita yo, ap yo, tanbouren yo, senbal yo ak twonpèt yo.
David and all the Israelites were celebrating before God with all their might, with songs and on harps and lyres, with tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
9 Lè yo te rive nan glasi vannen an nan Cidon, Uzza te lonje men l pou bay soutyen a lach la akoz bèf yo te prèt pou chavire l.
When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark, because the oxen had stumbled.
10 Lakòlè SENYÈ a te brile kont Uzza e Li te frape li akoz li te lonje men l vè lach la; epi li te mouri la devan Bondye.
And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and He struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.
11 Konsa, David te vin fache akoz kòlè SENYÈ a te pete kont Uzza. Li te rele plas sa a Pérets-Uzza jis rive jodi a.
Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah; so he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.
12 David te krent Bondye nan jou sa a, epi te di: “Kijan mwen kapab pote lach Bondye lakay mwen?”
That day David feared God and asked, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?”
13 Pou sa, David pa t pran lach la avèk li lavil David, men te pran l sou kote kay Obed-Édom an nan Gath.
So he did not move the ark with him to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
14 Konsa, lach Bondye a te rete avèk fanmi a Obed-Édom lakay li pandan twa mwa. Epi SENYÈ a te beni fanmi Obed-Édom an avèk tout sa li te genyen.
Thus the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house for three months, and the LORD blessed his household and everything he owned.
