1 Tantara 13
1 Aa le nisafiry amo mpifelek’ arivo naho zatoo vaho amo mpifehe iabio t’i Davide.
David had discussions with all his leaders, including the army commanders of thousands and hundreds.
2 Le hoe t’i Davide amy valobohò’ Israele iabiy, Aa naho mete ama’ areo naho am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika, antao hañitrike mb’eo mb’eo hikoike o longontika sisa amo hene tane’ Israeleo, rekets’ o mpisoroñe naho nte-Levý androva naho am-paripari’ iareoo, hifanontoñe,
Then he addressed the whole assembly of Israel, saying, “If you agree, and if God approves, let us send an invitation to every Israelite in the land, including the priests and Levites in their towns and pastures, to come and join us.
3 hampolian-tika mb’etoa i vatan’ Añaharen-tikañey, ie tsy nipaiaen-tika tañ’ andro’ i Saole.
Let us bring the Ark of our God back to us, because we forgot about it during the time of Saul.”
4 Le nanao ty hoe i valobohòkey, t’ie hanoeñe, fa nimete am-pihaino’ ze hene ondaty.
The whole assembly was pleased with the proposal, agreeing that this would be a good thing to do.
5 Aa le natonto’ i Davide t’Israele iaby, boake Sikore e Mitsraime añe pak’ am-pimoahañe e Kamate añe, hindesa’ iareo boake Kiriate-Iearime ao i vatan’ Añaharey.
So David summoned all of Israel, from the Shihor River of Egypt up to Lebo-hamath, to help bring the Ark from Kiriath-jearim.
6 Aa le nindre am’ Israele iaby t’i Davide nionjomb’e Baalà—i Kiriate-Iearime’ Iehoda—mb’eo hindesa’ iareo boak’ao i vatan’ Añahare iambesara’ Iehovà amo kerobeoy, i fikanjiañe i tahina’eiy.
So David and all of Israel went to Baalah (otherwise called Kiriath-jearim) in Judah to bring back the Ark of God the Lord, whose throne is between the cherubim and who is called by the Name.
7 Le nente’ iareo an-tsarete vao boak’ añ’ anjomba’ Abinadabe ao i vatan’ Añaharey; vaho ninday i saretey t’i Ozà naho i Akio.
They loaded the Ark of God onto a brand new cart and brought it from Adinadab's house, with Uzzah and Ahio directing it.
8 Le nifale añatrefan’ Añahare an-kaliforan-kaozarañe t’i Davide naho Israele; reke-tsabo naho marovany, jejobory, fikorintsañe, fikarantsañe vaho an-trompetra.
David and all of Israel were celebrating before the Lord as loudly as possible, singing sings and playing music on lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
9 Ie nivotrak’ an-tanem-pifofoha’ i Kidone eo, le nahiti’ i Ozà ty fità’e hikalañ’ i vatay, fa ho nabalitaboa’ o añombeio.
But when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, the oxen stumbled and Uzzah stretched out his hand to stop the Ark falling.
10 Le nisolebotse amy Ozà ty haviñera’ Iehovà naho zinevo’e amy te nitakare’e fitàñe i vatay vaho nihomak’ añatrefan’ Añahare.
The Lord was angry with Uzzah for daring to touch the Ark like this so he struck him down, and Uzzah died there before the Lord.
11 Tsy nahafale i Davide ty fitorotosi’ Iehovà amy Ozày; aa le natao Perets’ Ozà i toetsey pak’ henaneo.
David became angry with the Lord for his violent outburst against Uzzah. He named the place Perez-uzzah, and it is still called that today.
12 Nahahembañe i Davide t’i Andrianañahare amy andro zay, le hoe re: Akore ty hampipoliako amako i vatan’ Añaharey?
David became afraid of God that day. “How can I ever bring back the Ark of God home to me?” he asked.
13 Aa le tsy nendese’ i Davide moly ama’e mb’an-drova’ i Davide mb’eo i vatay fa nampitsile’e mb’ añ’anjomba’ i Ovededome nte Gate ao.
So David did not move the Ark of God to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he had it taken to the home of Obed-edom the Gittite.
14 Nitobok’ an-kasavereña’ i Ovededome añ’ anjomba’e ao telo volañe i vatan’ Añaharey; vaho nitahie’ Iehovà ty anjomba’ i Ovededome naho ze hene fanaña’e.
The Ark of God remained in Obed-edom's home for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom's household and all that he had.
