1 KUKA ae la o Davida me na luna tausani a me na luna haneri, a me na luna a pau.
And David consulted with the rulers of thousands and hundreds, even with every chief ruler.
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:
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 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.
and let us bring round the ark of our God, unto us, —For they sought it not, in the days 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.
Than said all the convocation, that it should be done thus, —for right was the thing, in the eyes of all the people.
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 convoked all Israel, from Shihor of Egypt, even unto the entering in of Hamath, —to bring the ark of God 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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?
And David was afraid of God, on that day, saying, —How can I bring unto me, the ark of God?
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 removed not the ark unto him, into the city of David, —but took it aside into the house 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.
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.
