1 Whakapapa 13
1 Na ka runanga a Rawiri ki nga rangatira o nga mano, o nga rau, ara ki nga rangatira katoa.
And David took counsel with the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, [even with] every commander.
2 A i mea a Rawiri ki te whakaminenga katoa o Iharaira, Ki te pai koutou, a ka tika mai i to tatou Atua, i a Ihowa, me tuku tangata tatou ki ia wahi, ki ia wahi, ki o tatou teina kua mahue nei ki nga whenua katoa o Iharaira, ki a ratou ko nga tohun ga, ko nga Riwaiti, ki nga pa, ki nga wahi o waho ake o aua pa, kia huihui mai ratou ki a tatou;
And David said to the whole congregation of Israel, If it [seem] good to you, and it should be prospered by the Lord our God, let us send to our brethren that are left in all the land of Israel, and let the priests the Levites who are with them in the cities of their possession [come], and let them be gathered to us.
3 A me whakahoki mai e tatou te aaka a to tatou Atua ki a tatou: kihai hoki tatou i rapu tikanga ki reira i nga ra o Haora.
And let us bring over to us the ark of our God; for men have not enquired [at] it since the days of Saul.
4 Na ka mea te whakaminenga katoa kia pera ano ratou; he tika hoki taua mea ki te titiro a te iwi katoa.
And all the congregation said that they would do thus; for the saying was right in the eyes of all the people.
5 Heoi ka huihuia e Rawiri a Iharaira katoa i Hihoro, i te awa o Ihipa a tae noa ki te haerenga atu ki Hamata, hei mau ake i te aaka a te Atua i Kiriata Tearimi.
So David assembled all Israel, from the borders of Egypt even to the entering in of Hemath, to bring in the ark of God from the city of Jarim.
6 Na ko te haerenga o Rawiri ratou ko Iharaira katoa ki Paaraha, ara ki Kiriata Tearimi o Hura, hei mau ake i reira i te aaka a te Atua, a Ihowa e noho nei i runga o nga kerupima, i huaina nei ki te Ingoa.
And David brought it up: and all Israel went up to the city of David, which belonged to Juda, to bring up thence the ark of the Lord God who sits between the cherubim, whose name is called [on it].
7 Na ka mauria e ratou te aaka a te Atua i runga i te kata hou, a tangohia ana mai i te whare o Apinarapa: a na Uha raua ko Ahio i arahi te kata.
And they set the ark of God on a new waggon [brought] out of the house of Aminadab: and Oza and his brethren drove the waggon.
8 Na ka whakapaua te kaha e Rawiri ratou ko Iharaira katoa ki te takaro ki te aroaro o te Atua; he waiata ano ta ratou, he hapa, he timipera, he himipora, he tetere.
And David and all Israel [were] playing before the Lord with all their might, and [that] together with singers, and with harps, and with lutes, with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
9 A, ka tae ki te patunga witi a Hirono, ka totoro te ringa o Uha ki te pupuri i te aaka; i tapatupatu hoki nga kau.
And they came as far as the threshing-floor: and Oza put forth his hand to hold the ark, because the bullock moved it from [its place].
10 Na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Uha, patua iho mo tona ringa i totoro ki te aaka; a mate iho ia i reira i te aroaro o te Atua.
And the Lord was very angry with Oza, and smote him there, because of his stretching forth his hand upon the ark: and he died there before God.
11 Na ka puri a Rawiri mo te toreretanga i torere ai a Ihowa ki a Uha. Na huaina ana e ia taua wahi ko Pereteuha: e mau nei ano a taea noatia tenei ra.
And David was dispirited, because the Lord [had] made a breach on Oza: and he called that place the Breach of Oza until this day.
12 Na ka wehi a Rawiri i a Ihowa i taua ra, a ka mea ia, Me pehea taku kawe mai i te aaka a Ihowa ki ahau ki toku whare?
And David feared God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God in to myself?
13 Heoi kihai a Rawiri i tango i te aaka ki a ia, ki te pa o Rawiri; i kawea ketia e ia ki te whare o Opereeroma Kiti.
So David brought not the ark home to himself into the city of David, but he turned it aside into the house of Abeddara the Gethite.
14 Na noho ana te aaka a te Atua ki te whanau a Opereeroma, ki tona whare hoki, e toru nga marama. A ka manaakitia e Ihowa te whare o Opereeroma me ana mea katoa.
And the ark of God abode in the house of Abeddara three months: and God blessed Abeddara and all that he had.
