1 Ihe E Mere 13
1 Devid na ndịisi agha ya na-achị imerime puku ndị agha, na ọtụtụ narị ndị agha, zukọrọ gbaa izu.
And David consulted with the officers of the thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
2 Ọ gwara ọgbakọ Izrel niile ahụ sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ọ dị unu mma, ọ bụrụkwa na ọ bụ ọchịchọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị, ka anyị ziga ozi zie ụmụnna anyị niile bi nʼakụkụ niile nke ala Izrel, na ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị niile, bi nʼobodo ha na ndị bi nʼebe ịta nri nke anụ ụlọ ha, ka ha bịa, soro anyị.
And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, if it seem good unto you, and if it be of the Lord our God, let us send widely about unto our brethren who are left in all the lands of Israel, and with them unto the priests and Levites who are in their cities and open districts, that they may gather themselves together unto us.
3 Ka anyị gaa bulata igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke nʼihi na e lefuru ya anya nʼoge ahụ niile Sọl bụ eze.”
And let us bring round the ark of our God to us; for we have inquired not at it in the days of Saul.
4 Ha niile kwekọrịtara ime nke a nʼihi na okwu ahụ dị ndị niile zukọrọ mma.
And all the congregation said that this should be done; for the king was right in the eyes of all the people.
5 Mgbe ahụ, Devid kpọrọ ndị Izrel niile oku ka ha zuo ezuo site nʼebe niile ha bi, site nʼoke ala ha na ndị Ijipt, ya bụ iyi Shiho, ruo nʼoke ala dị nʼugwu, ya bụ Lebo Hamat, ka ha gaa bulata igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke site na Kiriat Jearim.
So David assembled all Israel together, from Shichor of Egypt even unto the entrance of Chemath, to bring the ark of God from Kiryath-ye'arim.
6 Devid na ndị Izrel niile jere Baala nʼime Juda, ya bụ Kiriat Jearim, i si nʼebe ahụ bugota igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke, bụ Onyenwe anyị, onye na-anọkwasị nʼetiti cherubim, igbe ahụ nke akpọkwasịrị aha ya.
And David went up, with all Israel, to Ba'alah, [that is] to Kiryath-ye'arim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the Lord, that dwelleth between the cherubim, whose name is called [on it].
7 Ha ji ụgbọala ọhụrụ ehi na-adọkpụ buru igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke site nʼụlọ Abinadab, Ụza na Ahio na-eduzi ụgbọala ahụ ụzọ.
And they conveyed the ark of God in a new wagon out of the house of Abinadab: and 'Uzza and Achyo guided the wagon.
8 Devid na ndị Izrel niile weere ike ha niile na-aṅụ ọṅụ nʼihu Chineke, jiri abụ, ụbọ akwara, opi, une na ogene na iti egwu na-etekwa egwu.
And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and on harps, and on psalteries, and on tambourines, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
9 Mgbe ha rutere nʼebe ịzọcha ọka nke Kidon, Ụza setịpụrụ aka ya ijide igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, nʼihi na ehi ahụ zọhiere ụkwụ.
And when they came as far as the threshing-floor of Kidon, 'Uzza put forth his hand to take hold of the ark; for the oxen shook it.
10 Ma iwe Onyenwe anyị dị ọkụ megide Ụza, o tigburu ya nʼihi na o metụrụ igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ aka. Ya mere, ọ nwụrụ nʼebe ahụ nʼihu Chineke.
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against 'Uzza, and he smote him, because he had put forth his hand toward the ark: and he died there before God.
11 Mgbe ahụ, iwe were Devid nʼihi ọnụma Onyenwe anyị dakwasịrị Ụza, ruo taa, a na-akpọ ebe ahụ Perez Ụza.
And it was grievious to David, because the Lord had suddenly taken away 'Uzza; and he called that place Perez-'uzza [[Breach of 'Uzza]] until this day.
12 Devid tụrụ egwu Chineke nʼụbọchị ahụ, o kwuru sị, “M ga-esi aṅaa bubatara onwe m igbe ọgbụgba ndụ a?”
And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring home to me the ark of God?
13 O bubataghị igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ nʼime obodo Devid, kama o bugara ya nʼụlọ Obed-Edọm, onye Git.
So David removed not the ark unto himself into the city of David, but had it carried round into the house of 'Obed-edom the Gittite.
14 Igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke ahụ nọrọ nʼezinaụlọ Obed-Edọm nʼụlọ ya ọnwa atọ. Onyenwe anyị gọzikwara ezinaụlọ ya na ihe niile o nwere.
And the ark of God remained in the house of 'Obed-edom, in his house, three months. And the Lord blessed the house of 'Obed-edom, and all that belonged to him.
