I Oihanaalii 13
1 KUKA ae la o Davida me na luna tausani a me na luna haneri, a me na luna a pau.
David had discussions with all his leaders, including the army commanders of thousands and hundreds.
2 Olelo mai o Davida i ke anaina kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, Ina he maikai keia ia oukou, a ina na Iehova mai o ko kakou Akua ia mea, e hoouna aku kakou a i na hoahanau o kakou ma na wahi a pau, e waiho ana ma na aina a pau o ka Iseraela, a me lakou pu i na kahuna a me ka Levi iloko o ko lakou mau kulanakauhale a me na kula, e akoakoa mai ai lakou io kakou nei:
Then he addressed the whole assembly of Israel, saying, “If you agree, and if God approves, let us send an invitation to every Israelite in the land, including the priests and Levites in their towns and pastures, to come and join us.
3 A e lawe mai kakou i ka pahu o ko kakou Akua io kakou nei: no ka mea, aole kakou i ninau aku ma ia mea i na la o Saula.
Let us bring the Ark of our God back to us, because we forgot about it during the time of Saul.”
4 Olelo aku la ke anaina kanaka a pau, e hana lakou pela: no ka mea, he maikai ia mea imua o na kanaka a pau.
The whole assembly was pleased with the proposal, agreeing that this would be a good thing to do.
5 Pela i houluulu ai o Davida i ka Iseraela a pau i kahi hookahi, mai Sihora o Aigupita a hiki aku i ke komo ana aku i Hemata, e lawe i ka pahu o ko Akua mai Kiriataiearima mai.
So David summoned all of Israel, from the Shihor River of Egypt up to Lebo-hamath, to help bring the Ark from Kiriath-jearim.
6 Pii aku la o Davida, a me ka Iseraela a pau a Baala, oia o Kiriataiearima, no ka Iuda, mailaila mai e lawe i ka pahu o ke Akua o Iehova, e noho ana mawaena o na keruba, kahi i heaia'i kona inoa.
So David and all of Israel went to Baalah (otherwise called Kiriath-jearim) in Judah to bring back the Ark of God the Lord, whose throne is between the cherubim and who is called by the Name.
7 Hooholo ae la lakou i ka pahu o ke Akua maluna o ko kaa hou, mai ka hale mai o Abinadaba; a kai aku la o Uza laua o Ahio i ke kaa.
They loaded the Ark of God onto a brand new cart and brought it from Adinadab's house, with Uzzah and Ahio directing it.
8 Hookani aku la o Davida a me ka Iseraela a pau imua o ke Akua me ka ikaika a pau, i na mele, me na lira, na pesaleteria, na timeberela, na kimebala, a me na pukani.
David and all of Israel were celebrating before the Lord as loudly as possible, singing sings and playing music on lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
9 A hiki aku lakou i kahi hehi-palaoa no Kidona, hoo aku la o Uza i kona lima a hoopaa i ka pahu: no ka mea, okupe iho la na bipikauo.
But when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, the oxen stumbled and Uzzah stretched out his hand to stop the Ark falling.
10 Ua hoaia ka inaina o Iehova ia Uza, a hahau mai la oia ia ia, no ka mea, ua lalau kona lima i ka pahu; a make iho la ia ilaila imua o ko Akua.
The Lord was angry with Uzzah for daring to touch the Ark like this so he struck him down, and Uzzah died there before the Lord.
11 Ukiuki iho la o Davida i ko Iehova hahau ana ia Uza; nolaila ua kapaia ka inoa o ia wahi o Perezuza a hiki i keia la.
David became angry with the Lord for his violent outburst against Uzzah. He named the place Perez-uzzah, and it is still called that today.
12 Makau iho la o Davida i ke Akua ia la, i iho la, Pehea la ka'u e lawe mai ai i ka pahu o ke Akua io'u nei?
David became afraid of God that day. “How can I ever bring back the Ark of God home to me?” he asked.
13 Nolaila, aole i lawe mai o Davida i ka pahu berita io na la i ke kulanakauhale o Davida: aka, lawe ae la oia ia mea maloko o ka hale o Obededoma ka Gata.
So David did not move the Ark of God to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he had it taken to the home of Obed-edom the Gittite.
14 A waiho iho la ka pahu o ke Akua me ka ohana a Obededoma iloko o kona hale i na malama ekolu. A hoopomaikai o Iehova i ko ka hale o Obededoma, a me kona mau mea a pau.
The Ark of God remained in Obed-edom's home for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom's household and all that he had.
