1 Masolo ya Kala 13
1 Davidi asangisaki bakonzi ya basoda, bakonzi ya bankoto mpe bakonzi ya bankama elongo na bato mosusu ya lokumu.
Then David conferred with all his leaders, the commanders of hundreds and of thousands.
2 Davidi alobaki na lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele: « Soki bomoni yango malamu mpe soki yango ezali mokano na Yawe, Nzambe na biso, tika ete totinda sango epai ya bandeko na biso oyo batikali na bituka nyonso ya Isalaele mpe epai ya Banganga-Nzambe elongo na Balevi, kati na bingumba oyo bango bazali kovanda mpo ete baya kosangana na biso.
And he said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this is of the LORD our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our brothers in all the land of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites in their cities and pasturelands, so that they may join us.
3 Tozongisa Sanduku ya Nzambe na biso epai na biso, pamba te tolandelaki yango te tango Saulo azalaki mokonzi. »
Then let us bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of Him in the days of Saul.”
4 Lisanga mobimba endimaki ete basala bongo, pamba te likambo yango emonanaki malamu na miso ya bato nyonso.
And because this proposal seemed right to all the people, the whole assembly agreed to it.
5 Davidi asangisaki bana nyonso ya Isalaele longwa na moluka ya Ejipito kino na Lebo-Amati, mpo na kozongisa Sanduku ya Nzambe wuta na Kiriati-Yearimi.
So David assembled all Israel, from the River Shihor in Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
6 Davidi elongo na basoda nyonso ya Isalaele bakendeki na Baala, na Kiriati-Yearimi oyo ezali kati na Yuda, mpo na kolongola kuna Sanduku ya Nzambe, oyo, liboso na yango, bazalaki kobelela Kombo ya Yawe oyo avandaka kati na basheribe.
David and all Israel went up to Baalah of Judah (that is, Kiriath-jearim) to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who is enthroned between the cherubim—the ark that is called by the Name.
7 Batiaki Sanduku ya Nzambe na likolo ya shario ya sika mpe bamemaki yango wuta na ndako ya Abinadabi. Uza mpe Ayiyo nde bazalaki kotambolisa shario yango.
So they carried the ark of God from the house of Abinadab on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding the cart.
8 Davidi mpe bato nyonso ya Isalaele bazalaki kosepela makasi na liboso ya Nzambe, na koyemba mpe na kobeta mandanda, banzenze, bambunda ya mike-mike, manzanza mpe bakelelo.
David and all the Israelites were celebrating before God with all their might, with songs and on harps and lyres, with tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
9 Tango bakomaki na etando ya Kidoni, Uza asembolaki loboko na ye mpo na kosimba Sanduku ya Nzambe, pamba te bangombe eselumukaki mpe elingaki kokweyisa Sanduku ya Nzambe.
When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark, because the oxen had stumbled.
10 Yawe asilikelaki Uza makasi mpe abetaki ye mpo ete asembolaki loboko na ye mpe asimbaki Sanduku ya Nzambe. Boye, Uza akufaki kaka wana liboso ya Nzambe.
And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and He struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.
11 Davidi asilikaki makasi mpo ete Yawe afungolaki lidusu na kobeta Uza; yango wana, kino na mokolo ya lelo, babengaka esika yango « Peretsi-Uza. »
Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah; so he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.
12 Na mokolo wana, Davidi abangaki Nzambe mpe amitunaki: « Ndenge nini namema Sanduku ya Nzambe epai na ngai? »
That day David feared God and asked, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?”
13 Boye, Davidi amemaki te Sanduku ya Nzambe epai na ye, kati na engumba ya Davidi; kasi atiaki yango na ndako ya Obedi-Edomi, moto ya Gati.
So he did not move the ark with him to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
14 Sanduku ya Nzambe evandaki sanza misato kati na ndako ya Obedi-Edomi, mpe Yawe apambolaki libota ya Obedi-Edomi mpe biloko na ye nyonso.
Thus the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house for three months, and the LORD blessed his household and everything he owned.
