< I Oihanaalii 13 >

1 KUKA ae la o Davida me na luna tausani a me na luna haneri, a me na luna a pau.
And David consulteth with the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, 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:
and David saith to all the assembly of Israel, 'If unto you it be good, and from Jehovah our God it hath broken forth — we send unto our brethren, those left in all the lands of Israel, and with them the priests and the Levites, in the cities of their suburbs, and they are gathered 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 we bring round the ark of our God unto us, for we sought Him 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.
And all the assembly say to do so, for the thing is 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.
And David assembleth all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering in of Hamath, to bring in the ark of God from Kirjath-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 goeth up, and all Israel, to Baalah, unto Kirjath-Jearim that [is] to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God Jehovah, inhabiting the cherubs, where the Name is called on.
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 place the ark of God on a new cart, from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio are leading 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.
and David and all Israel are playing before God, with all strength, and with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, 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 they come in unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, and Uzza putteth forth his hand to seize the ark, for the oxen were released,
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.
and the anger of Jehovah is kindled against Uzza, and He smiteth him, because that he hath put forth his hand on the ark, and he dieth 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 is displeasing to David, because Jehovah hath made a breach upon Uzza, and one calleth that place 'Breach of Uzza' 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 feareth God on that day, saying, 'How do I bring in 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.
And David hath not turned aside the ark unto himself, unto the city of David, and turneth it aside unto 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 dwelleth with the household of Obed-Edom, in his house, three months, and Jehovah blesseth the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he hath.
