1 Seenaa 13
1 Daawit ajajjoota isaa hunda ajajjoota kumaatii fi ajajjoota dhibbaa wajjin ni mariʼate.
David had discussions with all his leaders, including the army commanders of thousands and hundreds.
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.
Then he addressed the whole assembly of Israel, saying, “If you agree, and if God approves, let us send an invitation to every Israelite in the land, including the priests and Levites in their towns and pastures, to come and join us.
3 Taabota Waaqa keenyaa deebifnee haa fidannu; nu bara mootummaa Saaʼol keessa isa hin barbaaneetii.”
Let us bring the Ark of our God back to us, because we forgot about it during the time of Saul.”
4 Sababii wanni kun saba hundatti waan qajeelaa fakkaateef guutummaan yaaʼii sanaa waan kana gochuudhaaf walii gale.
The whole assembly was pleased with the proposal, agreeing that this would be a good thing to do.
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 summoned all of Israel, from the Shihor River of Egypt up to Lebo-hamath, to help bring the Ark 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.
So David and all of Israel went to Baalah (otherwise called Kiriath-jearim) in Judah to bring back the Ark of God the Lord, whose throne is between the cherubim and who is called by the Name.
7 Isaanis taabota Waaqaa sana gaarii haaraatti feʼanii mana Abiinaadaabiitii ni baasan; Uzaa fi Ahiiyoon gaarii sana oofaa turan.
They loaded the Ark of God onto a brand new cart and brought it from Adinadab's house, with Uzzah and Ahio directing it.
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 of Israel were celebrating before the Lord as loudly as possible, singing sings and playing music on lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
9 Yommuu isaan oobdii Kiidoon bira gaʼanitti waan sangoonni gufataniif Uzaan taabota sana qabuuf harka isaa hiixate.
But when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, the oxen stumbled and Uzzah stretched out his hand to stop the Ark falling.
10 Sababii Uzaan taabota irra harka isaa kaaʼeef dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo Uzaatti bobaʼe; innis isa rukute; kanaafuu inni achumatti fuula Waaqaa duratti ni duʼe.
The Lord was angry with Uzzah for daring to touch the Ark like this so he struck him down, and Uzzah died there before the Lord.
11 Daawitis sababii Waaqayyo akka malee Uzaatti dheekkameef ni aare; iddoon sun hamma harʼaatti Phereez Uzaa jedhamee waamama.
David became angry with the Lord for his violent outburst against Uzzah. He named the place Perez-uzzah, and it is still called that today.
12 Daawitis gaafa sana Waaqa sodaatee, “Ani akkamittan taabota Waaqaa gara mana kootti fiduu dandaʼa?” jedhee gaafate.
David became afraid of God that day. “How can I ever bring back the Ark of God home to me?” he asked.
13 Innis akka taabonni isa wajjin Magaalaa Daawit keessa jiraatuuf ofitti hin fudhanne. Qooda kanaa gara mana Oobeed Edoom namicha Gitii sanaatti geesse.
So David did not move the Ark of God to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he had it taken to the home 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.
The Ark of God remained in Obed-edom's home for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom's household and all that he had.
