Dawid ne ne mpanimfoɔ a nʼasraafoɔ asahene ne mmapɔmma nyinaa ka ho, tuu agyina.
2 Wasesithi kuwo wonke umbuthano wako-Israyeli: “Nxa likubona kulungile njalo nxa kuyintando kaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, asithumeleni ilizwi eduze lakhatshana kubo bonke abafowethu kuwo wonke amazwe ako-Israyeli, kanye lakubaphristi labaLevi abalabo khonale emadolobheni abo lasemadlelweni abo, sibanxusa ukuthi beze bazohlanganyela kanye lathi.
Na ɔkasa kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ a wɔahyia hɔ no nyinaa sɛ, “Sɛ mopene so na sɛ ɛyɛ Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn pɛ a, momma yɛnto nkra nkɔma Israelfoɔ a wɔwɔ ɔman no afanan nyinaa a asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ a wɔwɔ nkuro so ne adidibea ka ho. Momma yɛnto nsa mfrɛ wɔn, na wɔmmɛka yɛn ho.
3 Asibuyiseni ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wethu kithi, ngoba asizange sibuze kulo ngesikhathi sokubusa kukaSawuli.”
Ɛberɛ aduru sɛ yɛsane de yɛn Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no ba, ɛfiri sɛ, Saulo ahennie ɛberɛ so no, yɛampɛ anhwɛ.”
4 Bonke ababebuthene bavumelana ukukwenza lokho, ngoba bonke abantu bakubona kufanele ukukwenza lokho.
Badwa no penee saa asɛm yi so ɛfiri sɛ, wɔhunuu sɛ, wɔyɛ saa a, ɛyɛ.
5 Ngakho uDavida wahlanganisa ama-Israyeli wonke, kusukela eMfuleni uShihori eGibhithe kusiya eLebho Hamathi, ukuyathatha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu eKhiriyathi-Jeyarimi.
Enti, Dawid frɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa, ɛfiri ɔman no tire kɔsi tire, sɛ wɔmmɛka ne ho na wɔmfa Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no mfiri Kiriat-Yearim mmra.
6 UDavida labo bonke abako-Israyeli ababelaye baya eBhala yakoJuda (iKhiriyathi-Jeyarimi) ukuthi baye khonale bayebuya lebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo uNkulunkulu, osesihlalweni sobukhosi ephahlwe ngamaKherubhi, ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo elibizwa ngaleloBizo.
Afei, Dawid ne Israelfoɔ no nyinaa kɔɔ Baala a na wɔfrɛ no Kiriat-Yearim a ɛwɔ Yuda no sɛ wɔrekɔfa Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka a wɔde ahyɛ Kerubim ntam na Awurade din da so no aba.
7 Balisusa ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu endlini ka-Abhinadabi ngenqola entsha, eyayiqondiswa ngu-Uza lo-Ahiyo.
Wɔde Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no sii teaseɛnam foforɔ so de firii Abinadab fie a Usa ne Ahio rekyerɛ ɛkwan.
8 UDavida labo bonke abako-Israyeli babejabula bezithokozisa ngamandla abo wonke phambi kukaNkulunkulu, ngezingoma betshaya lamachacho, lezingungu, lezigubhu, lamacilongo.
Dawid ne Israelfoɔ nyinaa firii wɔn ahoɔden mu too nnwom, bɔɔ mmɛn ahodoɔ a ebi yɛ asankuo, mmɛnta, mpintin, nnawuro ne ntotorobɛnto dii ahurisie wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.
9 Bathi befika esizeni sokubhulela eKhidoni, u-Uza welula isandla sakhe ezama ukuzinzisa ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo, ngoba inkabi zazikhubekile.
Nanso wɔduruu Nakon ayuporobea no, anantwie no anan totoeɛ maa Usa tenee ne nsa sɛ ɔretene Apam Adaka no.
10 Ulaka lukaThixo lwavutha ku-Uza, wamtshaya wafa ngoba wayebeke isandla sakhe phezu kwebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo. Ngakho wahle wafa khonapho phambi kukaThixo.
Ɛhɔ na Awurade abufuo sɔre tiaa Usa maa ɔwuiɛ ɛfiri sɛ, ɔde ne nsa aka Apam Adaka no. Enti Usa wuu wɔ Onyankopɔn anim hɔ ara.
11 Ngakho uDavida wathukuthela ngoba ulaka lukaThixo lwavutha ku-Uza, njalo kuze kube lalamuhla indawo leyo ibizwa ngokuthi yiPherezi Uza.
Dawid bo fuiɛ, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade abufuo atia Usa. Ɔtoo beaeɛ hɔ edin Peres-Usa a wɔda so frɛ hɔ saa de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
12 UDavida wamesaba uNkulunkulu ngalolosuku waze wabuza wathi: “Pho ngingaliletha njani kimi ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu?”
Afei, na Dawid suro Onyankopɔn, na ɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matumi de Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka yi aba abɛhwɛ so?”
13 Kasazange alithathe ibhokisi lesivumelwano ukuze libe kuye eMzini kaDavida. Kodwa-ke walisa eceleni endlini ka-Obhedi-Edomi umGithi.
Enti, Dawid yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔnna mfa Apam Adaka no nkɔ Dawid kuro no mu. Mmom, ɔde kɔɔ Gatni, Obed-Edom fie wɔ Gat.
14 Ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu lahlala kwabendlu ka-Obhedi-Edomi endlini yakhe okwezinyanga ezintathu, yikho uThixo wabusisa indlu yakhe lakho konke okwakungokwakhe.
