1 Aa le nisafiry amo mpifelek’ arivo naho zatoo vaho amo mpifehe iabio t’i Davide.
David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.
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,
David said to all the assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you, and if there is a breakthrough from the LORD our God, let us send abroad 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 suburbs, that they may gather themselves to us;
3 hampolian-tika mb’etoa i vatan’ Añaharen-tikañey, ie tsy nipaiaen-tika tañ’ andro’ i Saole.
and let us bring again the ark of our God to us. For we did not seek it in the days of Saul."
4 Le nanao ty hoe i valobohòkey, t’ie hanoeñe, fa nimete am-pihaino’ ze hene ondaty.
All the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
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 assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor of Egypt even to Lebo Hamath, to bring the ark of God 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.
And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of the LORD enthroned on the cherubim.
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 carried the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
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 Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with cymbals, and with 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.
When they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
10 Le nisolebotse amy Ozà ty haviñera’ Iehovà naho zinevo’e amy te nitakare’e fitàñe i vatay vaho nihomak’ añatrefan’ Añahare.
The anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he struck him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God.
11 Tsy nahafale i Davide ty fitorotosi’ Iehovà amy Ozày; aa le natao Perets’ Ozà i toetsey pak’ henaneo.
David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.
12 Nahahembañe i Davide t’i Andrianañahare amy andro zay, le hoe re: Akore ty hampipoliako amako i vatan’ Añaharey?
David was afraid of God that day, saying, "How can I bring the ark of God to me?"
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 to him into the City of David, but diverted it to the house 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 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.
