1 Tantara 13
1 Ary Davida naka saina tamin’ ny mpifehy arivo sy ny mpifehy zato, dia ny mpifehy rehetra,
Then David took counsel with the tribunes, and the centurions, and all the leaders.
2 Ka hoy Davida tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra izay tafangona: Raha ataonareo ho mety, sady avy amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika izany, dia andeha isika haniraka faingana any amin’ ny rahalahintsika rehetra izay sisa amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely rehetra ary amin’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita koa, izay any amin’ ny tanànany sy ny tany manodidina azy, mba hivory atỳ amintsika;
And he said to the entire assembly of Israel: “If it pleases you, and if the words that I speak come from the Lord our God, let us send to the remainder of our brothers, in all the regions of Israel, and to the priests and Levites who live in the suburbs of the cities, so that they may gather to us.
3 Ary aoka ho entintsika atỳ amintsika indray ny fiaran’ Andriamanitsika; fa tsy nahoantsika tamin’ ny andron’ i Saoly izany.
And let us bring back the ark of our God to us. For we did not seek it during the days of Saul.”
4 Ary ny olona rehetra izay tafangona dia nanaiky hanao izany, satria marina teo imason’ ny olona rehetra izany.
And the entire multitude responded that it should be done. For the word had pleased all the people.
5 Dia novorin’ i Davida ny Isiraely rehetra hatrany Sihora any Egypta ka hatrany akaikin’ i Hamata haka ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra avy any Kiriata-jearima.
Therefore, David gathered all of Israel, from Shihor of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, so as to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
6 Dia niakatra Davida sy ny Isiraely rehetra hankany Bala any Joda (Kiriata-jearima izany) hampakatra ny fiaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra, Izay mipetraka amin’ ny kerobima, dia ilay niantsoany ny anarany.
And David ascended with all the men of Israel to the hill of Kiriath-jearim, which is in Judah, so that he might bring from there the ark of the Lord God, sitting upon the Cherubim, where his name is invoked.
7 Ary nentiny tamin’ ny sariety vaovao niala tao an-tranon’ i Abinadaba ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra, ary Oza sy Ahio no nampandeha ny sariety.
And they placed the ark of God upon a new cart from the house of Abinadab. Then Uzzah and his brother drove the cart.
8 Ary Davida sy ny Isiraely rehetra dia nitsinjaka fatratra teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny hira sy ny lokanga sy ny valiha sy ny ampongatapaka sy ny kipantsona ary ny trompetra.
Now David and all of Israel were playing before God, with all of their ability, in songs, and with harps, and psalteries, and timbrels, and cymbals, and trumpets.
9 Ary nony tonga teo amin’ ny famoloan’ i Kidona izy, dia naninjitra ny tànany hihazona ny fiara Oza, satria nazeran’ ny omby izany.
And when they had arrived at the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out his hand, so that he might support the ark. For indeed, the ox being wanton had caused it to incline a little.
10 Dia nirehitra tamin’ i Oza ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, ka namely azy Izy noho ny naninjirany ny tànany tamin’ ny fiara, dia maty teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra izy.
And so the Lord became angry against Uzzah. And he struck him down because he had touched the ark. And he died there before the Lord.
11 Ary dia tezitra Davida noho ny namelezan’ i Jehovah an’ i Oza, ka dia nataony hoe Perez-oza no anaran’ izany tany izany mandraka androany.
And David was greatly saddened because the Lord had divided Uzzah. And he called that place ‘the Division of Uzzah,’ even to the present day.
12 Ary Davida natahotra an’ Andriamanitra tamin’ izany andro izany ka nanao hoe: Nahoana aho no hitondra ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra ho atỳ amiko?
And then he feared God, at that time, saying: “How will I be able to bring in the ark of God to myself?”
13 Dia tsy nafindran’ i Davida ho ao aminy ao an-tanànan’ i Davida ny fiara, fa naviliny ho ao an-tranon’ i Obed-edoma Gatita.
And for this reason, he did not bring it to himself, that is, into the City of David. Instead, he turned aside to the house of Obededom, the Gittite.
14 Ary nipetraka telo volana tao amin’ ny ankohonan’ i Obed-edoma tao an-tranony ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra; ka dia notahin’ i Jehovah ny ankohonan’ i Obed-edoma sy izay rehetra nananany.
Therefore, the ark of God dwelt in the house of Obededom for three months. And the Lord blessed his house and all that he had.
