1 Nyakati 13
1 Daudi akashuriana na wakuu wa jeshi la maelfu na mamia, na kila kiongozi.
And David consulteth with the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, 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 saith to all the assembly of Israel, 'If unto you it be good, and from Jehovah our God it hath broken forth — we send unto our brethren, those left in all the lands of Israel, and with them the priests and the Levites, in the cities of their suburbs, and they are gathered unto us,
3 Na tulete sanduku la Mungu wetu, kwa kuwa hatukutafuta mapenzi yake katika siku za Sauli.”
and we bring round the ark of our God unto us, for we sought Him not in the days of Saul.'
4 Kusanyiko lote liliafiki kufanya haya yote, kwa kuwa yalionekana sawa machoni pa watu wote.
And all the assembly say to do so, for the thing is 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.
And David assembleth all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering in of Hamath, to bring in the ark of God 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 goeth up, and all Israel, to Baalah, unto Kirjath-Jearim that [is] to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God Jehovah, inhabiting the cherubs, where the Name is called on.
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 place the ark of God on a new cart, from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio are leading 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 are playing before God, with all strength, and with songs, 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 they come in unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, and Uzza putteth forth his hand to seize the ark, for the oxen were released,
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 Jehovah is kindled against Uzza, and He smiteth him, because that he hath put forth his hand on the ark, and he dieth there before God.
11 Daudi alipatwa na hasira kwa kuwa Yahweh alimshambulia Uza. Hiyo sehemu inaitwa Perezi Uza hadi leo.
And it is displeasing to David, because Jehovah hath made a breach upon Uzza, and one calleth that place 'Breach of Uzza' unto this day.
12 Daudi alimuogopa Mungu hiyo siku. Akasema, “Nawezaje kuleta sanduku la Mungu nyumbani mwangu?”
And David feareth God on that day, saying, 'How do I bring in unto me the ark of God?'
13 Kwaiyo Daudi hakuleta sanduku kwenye mji wa Daudi, lakini aliweka pembeni mwa nyumba ya Obedi Edomu Mgiti.
And David hath not turned aside the ark unto himself, unto the city of David, and turneth it aside unto 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 God dwelleth with the household of Obed-Edom, in his house, three months, and Jehovah blesseth the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he hath.
