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 had discussions with the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds and with every chief.
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 David said to all the men of Israel who had come together there, If it seems good to you and if it is the purpose of the Lord our God, let us send to all the rest of our brothers, everywhere in the land of Israel, and to the priests and the Levites in their towns and the country round them, and get them to come together here to us;
3 Tozongisa Sanduku ya Nzambe na biso epai na biso, pamba te tolandelaki yango te tango Saulo azalaki mokonzi. »
And let us get back for ourselves the ark of our God: for in the days of Saul we did not go to it for directions.
4 Lisanga mobimba endimaki ete basala bongo, pamba te likambo yango emonanaki malamu na miso ya bato nyonso.
And all the people said they would do so, for it seemed right to them.
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 sent for all Israel to come together, from Shihor, the river of Egypt, as far as the way into Hamath, to get 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.
And David went up, with all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim in Judah, to get up from there the ark of God, over which the holy Name is named, the name of the Lord whose place is between the winged ones.
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.
And they put the ark of God on a new cart, and took it out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio were the drivers of 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.
Then David and all Israel made melody before God with all their strength, with songs and corded instruments of music, and with brass instruments and horns.
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.
And when they came to the grain-floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to keep the ark in its place, for the oxen were slipping.
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 wrath of the Lord, burning against Uzza, sent destruction on him because he had put his hand on the ark, and death came to him 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. »
And David was angry because of the Lord's outburst of wrath against Uzza, and he gave that place the name Perez-uzza, to this day.
12 Na mokolo wana, Davidi abangaki Nzambe mpe amitunaki: « Ndenge nini namema Sanduku ya Nzambe epai na ngai? »
And so great was David's fear of God that day, that he said, How may I let the ark of God come 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 David did not let the ark come back to him to the town of David, but had it turned away and put into 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.
And the ark of God was in the house of Obed-edom for three months; and the Lord sent a blessing on the house of Obed-edom and on all he had.
