1 Seenaa 13
1 Daawit ajajjoota isaa hunda ajajjoota kumaatii fi ajajjoota dhibbaa wajjin ni mariʼate.
Then David conferred with all his leaders, the commanders of hundreds and of thousands.
2 Ergasii inni yaaʼii Israaʼel guutuudhaan akkana jedhe; “Yoo wanni kun waan gaarii isinitti fakkaatee fi yoo fedhii Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa taʼe, kottaa mee akka isaan dhufanii nutti dabalamaniif obboloota keenya kanneen guutummaa biyya Israaʼel keessatti hafanitti akkasumas lubootaa fi Lewwota isaan wajjin magaalaawwanii fi lafa dheeda isaanii keessa jiraatanitti ergaa haa erginu.
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 Taabota Waaqa keenyaa deebifnee haa fidannu; nu bara mootummaa Saaʼol keessa isa hin barbaaneetii.”
Then let us bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of Him in the days of Saul.”
4 Sababii wanni kun saba hundatti waan qajeelaa fakkaateef guutummaan yaaʼii sanaa waan kana gochuudhaaf walii gale.
And because this proposal seemed right to all the people, the whole assembly agreed to it.
5 Kanaafuu Daawit taabota Waaqaa Kiriyaati Yeʼaariimii fiduudhaaf Israaʼeloota Laga Shihoorii kan biyya Gibxiitti argamuu jalqabee hamma karra Hamaatiitti jiran hunda walitti qabe.
So David assembled all Israel, from the River Shihor in Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
6 Daawitii fi Israaʼeloonni isa wajjin turan hundi taabota Waaqa kiirubeelii gidduu teessoo irra jiru sanaa jechuunis taabota Maqaa Waaqayyootiin waamamu sana achii fiduuf jedhanii gara Baʼaalaa jechuunis gara Kiriyaati Yeʼaariim ishee Yihuudaa keessaa sanaa ni dhaqan.
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 Isaanis taabota Waaqaa sana gaarii haaraatti feʼanii mana Abiinaadaabiitii ni baasan; Uzaa fi Ahiiyoon gaarii sana oofaa turan.
So they carried the ark of God from the house of Abinadab on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding the cart.
8 Daawitii fi Israaʼeloonni hundinuu humna isaanii guutuudhaan faarfannaa fi baganaadhaan, kiraaraa fi dibbeedhaan, kilillee fi malakataan fuula Waaqaa duratti gammadanii shuubbisaa.
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 Yommuu isaan oobdii Kiidoon bira gaʼanitti waan sangoonni gufataniif Uzaan taabota sana qabuuf harka isaa hiixate.
When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark, because the oxen had stumbled.
10 Sababii Uzaan taabota irra harka isaa kaaʼeef dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo Uzaatti bobaʼe; innis isa rukute; kanaafuu inni achumatti fuula Waaqaa duratti ni duʼe.
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 Daawitis sababii Waaqayyo akka malee Uzaatti dheekkameef ni aare; iddoon sun hamma harʼaatti Phereez Uzaa jedhamee waamama.
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 Daawitis gaafa sana Waaqa sodaatee, “Ani akkamittan taabota Waaqaa gara mana kootti fiduu dandaʼa?” jedhee gaafate.
That day David feared God and asked, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?”
13 Innis akka taabonni isa wajjin Magaalaa Daawit keessa jiraatuuf ofitti hin fudhanne. Qooda kanaa gara mana Oobeed Edoom namicha Gitii sanaatti geesse.
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 Taabonni Waaqaas jiʼa sadii maatii Oobeed Edoom wajjin mana isaa keessa ture; Waaqayyos warra mana isaa jiraatanii fi waan inni qabu hunda ni eebbise.
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.
