1 Tantara 13
1 Ary Davida naka saina tamin’ ny mpifehy arivo sy ny mpifehy zato, dia ny mpifehy rehetra,
And David consulted with the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, [and] with every leader.
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 David said to all the congregation of Israel, If [it seemeth] good to you, and [that it is] of the LORD our God, let us send abroad to our brethren every where, [that are] left in all the land of Israel, and with them [also] to the priests and Levites [who are] in their cities [and] suburbs, that they may assemble 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 again to us the ark of our God: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul.
4 Ary ny olona rehetra izay tafangona dia nanaiky hanao izany, satria marina teo imason’ ny olona rehetra izany.
And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of 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.
So David assembled all Israel, from Shihor of Egypt even to the entrance of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-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 went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, [that is], to Kirjath-jearim, which [belonged] to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth [between] the cherubim, whose name is called [on it].
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 carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio 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.
And David and all Israel played before God with all [their] might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with 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 came to the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
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 the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.
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 displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to this 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 David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God [home] to me?
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.
So David brought not the ark to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom 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.
And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
