1 Nyakati 13
1 Daudi akashuriana na wakuu wa jeshi la maelfu na mamia, na kila kiongozi.
And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
2 Daudi akasema kwa kusanyiko la Isaraeli, “Kama itakuwa vyema, na kama hii inatoka kwa Yahweh Mungu wetu, na tutume wajumbe kila sehemu kwa ndugu zetu walio baki maeneo yote ya Israeli, na kwa makuhani na Walawi walio kwenye miji yao. Waambiwe wajiunge nasi.
And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of YHWH our Elohim, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:
3 Na tulete sanduku la Mungu wetu, kwa kuwa hatukutafuta mapenzi yake katika siku za Sauli.”
And let us bring again the ark of our Elohim to us: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul.
4 Kusanyiko lote liliafiki kufanya haya yote, kwa kuwa yalionekana sawa machoni pa watu wote.
And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
5 Kwaiyo Daudi akakusanya Israeli yote, kutoka mto Shihori ulio Misri hadi Lebo Hamathi, kuleta sandaku la Mungu kutoka Kiriathi Yearimu.
So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hamath, to bring the ark of Elohim from Kirjath-jearim.
6 Daudi na Israeli yote walienda mpaka Baala, ambayo ni, Kiriathi Yearimu, ambao ni ya Yuda, kuleta sanduku la Mungu, ambalo linaitwa kwa jina la Yahweh, Yahweh, ambaye ameketi juu ya makerubi.
And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of Elohim YHWH, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.
7 Kwaiyo wakaketisha sanduku la Mungu juu ya chombo kipya cha matairi. Wakaleta nje ya nyumba ya Abinadabu. Uza na Ahio walikuwa wakilinda hicho chombo.
And they carried the ark of Elohim in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.
8 Daudi na Israeli yote walikuwa wakishangilia mbele za Mungu kwa nguvu zao zote. Walikuwa wakiimba na vyombo vya uzi, vinubi, upatu, na tarumbeta.
And David and all Israel played before Elohim with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
9 Walipo kuja eneo la kupeta mazao huko Kidoni, Uza alinyoosha mkono wake kuzuia sandaku, sababu ng'ombe aliyekuwa amebeba sanduku aliyumba.
And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
10 Hasira ya Yahweh ikawaka juu ya Uza, na Yahweh akamua kwasababu Uza alishika na mkono wake sanduku. Akafa pale mbele za Mungu.
And the anger of YHWH was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before Elohim.
11 Daudi alipatwa na hasira kwa kuwa Yahweh alimshambulia Uza. Hiyo sehemu inaitwa Perezi Uza hadi leo.
And David was displeased, because YHWH had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to this day.
12 Daudi alimuogopa Mungu hiyo siku. Akasema, “Nawezaje kuleta sanduku la Mungu nyumbani mwangu?”
And David was afraid of Elohim that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of Elohim home to me?
13 Kwaiyo Daudi hakuleta sanduku kwenye mji wa Daudi, lakini aliweka pembeni mwa nyumba ya Obedi Edomu Mgiti.
So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
14 Sanduku la Mungu lilibaki nyumbani mwa Obedi Edomu kwa miezi mitatu. Kwaiyo Yahweh akabariki nyumba yake na yote aliyo miliki.
And the ark of Elohim remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months. And YHWH blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
