1 Seenaa 13
1 Daawit ajajjoota isaa hunda ajajjoota kumaatii fi ajajjoota dhibbaa wajjin ni mariʼate.
David consulted with the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with every leader.
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.
David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this comes from Yahweh our God, let us send messengers everywhere to our brothers who remain in all the regions of Israel, and to the priests and Levites who are in their cities. Let them be told to 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 ourselves, for we did not seek his will in the days of Saul's reign.”
4 Sababii wanni kun saba hundatti waan qajeelaa fakkaateef guutummaan yaaʼii sanaa waan kana gochuudhaaf walii gale.
The whole assembly agreed to do these things, because they seemed right in the eyes of all the people.
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 together, from the Shihor River 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, that is, Kiriath Jearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by Yahweh's name, Yahweh, who sits enthroned over the cherubim.
7 Isaanis taabota Waaqaa sana gaarii haaraatti feʼanii mana Abiinaadaabiitii ni baasan; Uzaa fi Ahiiyoon gaarii sana oofaa turan.
So they set the ark of God on a new cart. They brought it out of Abinadab's house. Uzzah and Ahio were 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 Israel were celebrating before God with all their might. They were singing with stringed instruments, 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 Kidon, Uzzah reached out with his hand to grab the ark, because the oxen stumbled.
10 Sababii Uzaan taabota irra harka isaa kaaʼeef dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo Uzaatti bobaʼe; innis isa rukute; kanaafuu inni achumatti fuula Waaqaa duratti ni duʼe.
Then the anger of Yahweh burned against Uzzah, and Yahweh killed him because Uzzah had reached out with his hand to the ark. He died there before God.
11 Daawitis sababii Waaqayyo akka malee Uzaatti dheekkameef ni aare; iddoon sun hamma harʼaatti Phereez Uzaa jedhamee waamama.
David was angry because Yahweh had attacked Uzzah. That place is called Perez Uzzah to this day.
12 Daawitis gaafa sana Waaqa sodaatee, “Ani akkamittan taabota Waaqaa gara mana kootti fiduu dandaʼa?” jedhee gaafate.
David was afraid of God that day. He said, “How can I bring the ark of God home 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 David did not move the ark to the city of David, but put it aside in 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.
The ark of God remained in Obed Edom's household in his house for three months. So Yahweh blessed his house and all that he possessed.
