1 Masolo ya Kala 13
1 Davidi asangisaki bakonzi ya basoda, bakonzi ya bankoto mpe bakonzi ya bankama elongo na bato mosusu ya lokumu.
David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.
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.
David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is of Yahweh our God, let’s send word everywhere to our brothers who are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have pasture lands, that they may gather themselves to us.
3 Tozongisa Sanduku ya Nzambe na biso epai na biso, pamba te tolandelaki yango te tango Saulo azalaki mokonzi. »
Also, let’s bring the ark of our God back to us again, for we didn’t seek it in the days of Saul.”
4 Lisanga mobimba endimaki ete basala bongo, pamba te likambo yango emonanaki malamu na miso ya bato nyonso.
All the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
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 together, from the Shihor River of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring God’s ark 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 went up with all Israel to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there God Yahweh’s ark that sits above the cherubim, 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.
They carried God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house; and Uzza and Ahio drove 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 Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with cymbals, and with 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 Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen 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.
Yahweh’s anger burned against Uzza, and he struck him because he put his hand on the ark; and 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. »
David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken out against Uzza. He called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.
12 Na mokolo wana, Davidi abangaki Nzambe mpe amitunaki: « Ndenge nini namema Sanduku ya Nzambe epai na ngai? »
David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I bring God’s ark home 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 didn’t move the ark with him into David’s city, but carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.
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.
God’s ark remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months; and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom’s house and all that he had.
