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 consulteth with the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, 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 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 Ka anyị gaa bulata igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke nʼihi na e lefuru ya anya nʼoge ahụ niile Sọl bụ eze.”
and we bring round the ark of our God unto us, for we sought Him not in the days of Saul.'
4 Ha niile kwekọrịtara ime nke a nʼihi na okwu ahụ dị ndị niile zukọrọ mma.
And all the assembly say to do so, for the thing is 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.
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 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 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 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 place the ark of God on a new cart, from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio are leading the cart,
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 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 Mgbe ha rutere nʼebe ịzọcha ọka nke Kidon, Ụza setịpụrụ aka ya ijide igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, nʼihi na ehi ahụ zọhiere ụkwụ.
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 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 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 Mgbe ahụ, iwe were Devid nʼihi ọnụma Onyenwe anyị dakwasịrị Ụza, ruo taa, a na-akpọ ebe ahụ Perez Ụza.
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 Devid tụrụ egwu Chineke nʼụbọchị ahụ, o kwuru sị, “M ga-esi aṅaa bubatara onwe m igbe ọgbụgba ndụ a?”
And David feareth God on that day, saying, 'How do I bring in unto me the ark of God?'
13 O bubataghị igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ nʼime obodo Devid, kama o bugara ya nʼụlọ Obed-Edọm, onye Git.
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 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 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.
