< १ इतिहास 13 >

1 दाऊदले आफ्‍ना हजार र सयका कमाण्‍डरहरू, हरेक अगुवाहरूसँग सल्‍लाह लिए ।
Then David conferred with all his leaders, the commanders of hundreds and of thousands.
2 तब तिनले इस्राएलका जम्‍मै समुदायलाई भने, “तपाईंहरूलाई असल लाग्छ भने, र यो परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरबाट आएको हो भने, इस्राएलका हरेक इलाकामा बाँकी रहेका हाम्रा आफन्तहरू, र तिनीहरूका सहरहरूमा बसोबास गर्ने पूजाहारी र लेवीहरूकहाँ हामी समाचार पठाऔं । हामीसँग सहभगी हुन तिनीहरूलाई भनियोस् ।
And he said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this is of the LORD our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our brothers in all the land of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites in their cities and pasturelands, so that they may join us.
3 हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरको सन्‍दूकलाई हामी आफूकहाँ फर्काएर ल्‍याऔं, किनकि शाऊलको राज्‍यकालका समयमा हामीले उहाँको इच्छा खोजेनौं ।”
Then let us bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of Him in the days of Saul.”
4 तब सबै समुदायले त्‍यसो गर्न सहमती दिए, किनभने सबै मानिसको दृष्‍टिमा ती कुरा उचित लाग्यो ।
And because this proposal seemed right to all the people, the whole assembly agreed to it.
5 यसैले किर्यत-यारीमबाट परमेश्‍वरको सन्‍दूक ल्‍याउनलाई मिश्रदेशको शिहोर नदीदेखि लेबो-हमातसम्‍मका सारा इस्राएललाई दाऊदले भेला गराए ।
So David assembled all Israel, from the River Shihor in Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
6 तब करूबहरूका बीचमा विराजमान हुनुहुने परमप्रभुको आफ्‍नै नाउँले परमप्रभु भनर पुकारा गरिएको परमेश्‍वरको सन्‍दूक ल्‍याउनलाई दाऊद र सारा इस्राएल यहूदामा पर्ने बाला, अर्थात्‌ किर्यत-यारीममा उक्‍लेर गए ।
David and all Israel went up to Baalah of Judah (that is, Kiriath-jearim) to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who is enthroned between the cherubim—the ark that is called by the Name.
7 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले परमेश्‍वरको सन्‍दूकलाई एउटा नयाँ गाडामा राखे । अबीनादाबको घरबाट तिनीहरूले त्यो लिएर आए । उज्‍जाह र अहियोले उक्‍त गाडा धकेल्‍दै थिए ।
So they carried the ark of God from the house of Abinadab on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding the cart.
8 दाऊद र सम्‍पूर्ण इस्राएलले परमेश्‍वरको सामु आफ्‍नो सारा शक्तिले उत्सव मनाइरहेका थिए । तिनीहरू वीणा, सारङ्गी, खैंजडी, झ्‍याली र तुरहीको साथमा गाउँदै थिए ।
David and all the Israelites were celebrating before God with all their might, with songs and on harps and lyres, with tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
9 जब तिनीहरू कीदोनको खलामा पुगे, तब उज्‍जाहले सन्‍दूक समात्‍नलाई आफ्‍नो हात बढाए, किनभने गोरुहरूलाई ठेस लाग्‍यो ।
When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark, because the oxen had stumbled.
10 तब परमप्रभुको क्रोध उज्‍जाहको विरुद्ध दन्कियो, र परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई मार्नुभयो, किनकि उज्‍जाहले आफ्‍नो हात बढाएर सन्‍दूक छोएका थिए । तिनी परमेश्‍वरको सामु त्‍यहीं मरे ।
And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and He struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.
11 परमप्रभुले उज्‍जाहलाई गर्नु भएको प्रहारको कारणले दाऊद रिसाए । त्यस ठाउँलाई आजको दिनसम्म फारेस-उज्‍जाह भनिन्छ ।
Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah; so he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.
12 त्‍यो दिन दाऊद परमेश्‍वरसँग डराए । तिनले भने, “परमेश्‍वरको सन्‍दूकलाई कसरी मकहाँ घरमा ल्‍याउन म सक्‍छु?”
That day David feared God and asked, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?”
13 यसैले दाऊदले उक्‍त सन्‍दूकलाई दाऊदको सहरमा सारेनन्, तर एकातिर लागेर गित्ती ओबेद-एदोमको घरमा राखे ।
So he did not move the ark with him to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
14 यसरी सन्‍दूक ओबेद-एदोमको घरानासित तिनकै घरमा तीन महिनासम्‍म रह्‍यो । यसैले परमप्रभुले तिनको घर र तिनीसँग भएका सबै कुरामा आशिष् दिनुभयो ।
Thus the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house for three months, and the LORD blessed his household and everything he owned.
