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 consulted with the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with every leader.
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:
David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this comes from Yahweh our God, let us send messengers everywhere to our brothers who remain in all the regions of Israel, and to the priests and Levites who are in their cities. Let them be told to 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 ourselves, for we did not seek his will in the days of Saul's reign.”
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 agreed to do these things, because they seemed right 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 assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor River in Egypt to Lebo 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.
David and all Israel went up to Baalah, that is, Kiriath Jearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by Yahweh's name, Yahweh, who sits enthroned over the cherubim.
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.
So they set the ark of God on a new cart. They brought it out of Abinadab's house. Uzzah and Ahio were guiding the cart.
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 Israel were celebrating before God with all their might. They were singing with stringed instruments, 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.
When they came to the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out with his hand to grab the ark, because the oxen stumbled.
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 the anger of Yahweh burned against Uzzah, and Yahweh killed him because Uzzah had reached out with his hand to the ark. 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.
David was angry because Yahweh had attacked Uzzah. That place is called Perez Uzzah to 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?
David was afraid of God that day. He said, “How can I bring the ark of God home to me?”
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 to the city of David, but put it aside in 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.
The ark of God remained in Obed Edom's household in his house for three months. So Yahweh blessed his house and all that he possessed.
