1 Beresosɛm 13
1 Dawid ne ne mpanyimfo a nʼasraafo so asahene ne mmapɔmma nyinaa ka ho, tuu agyina.
And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
2 Na ɔkasa kyerɛɛ Israelfo a wɔahyia hɔ no nyinaa se, “Sɛ mopene so na sɛ ɛyɛ Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn pɛ a, momma yɛmfa nkra nkɔma Israelfo a wɔwɔ ɔman no afanan nyinaa a asɔfo ne Lewifo a wɔwɔ nkurow so ne adidibea ka ho. Momma yɛnto nsa mfrɛ wɔn, na wɔmmɛka yɛn ho.
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 Bere adu sɛ yɛsan de yɛn Nyankopɔn Apam Adaka no ba, efisɛ Saulo ahenni bere so no, yɛampɛ anhwɛ.”
And let us bring again the ark of our Elohim to us: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul.
4 Bagua no penee saa asɛm yi so efisɛ wohuu sɛ, wɔyɛ saa a, eye.
And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
5 Enti Dawid frɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa, efi ɔman no ti kosi ti, sɛ wɔmmɛka ne ho na wɔmfa Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no mfi Kiriat-Yearim mmra.
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 Afei, Dawid ne Israelfo no nyinaa kɔɔ Baala a na wɔfrɛ no Kiriat-Yearim a ɛwɔ Yuda no sɛ wɔrekɔfa Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka a wɔde ahyɛ kerubim ntam na Awurade din da so no aba.
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 Wɔde Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no sii teaseɛnam foforo so de fii Abinadab fi a Usa ne Ahio rekyerɛ kwan.
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 Dawid ne Israelfo nyinaa fii wɔn ahoɔden mu too nnwom, bɔɔ mmɛn ahorow a bi yɛ asanku, mmɛnta, akasae, nnawuru ne ntorobɛnto dii ahurusi, Onyankopɔn anim.
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 Nanso woduu Nakon awiporowbea no, anantwi no anan toto maa Usa teɛɛ ne nsa sɛ ɔreteɛ Apam Adaka no.
And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
10 Ɛhɔ na Awurade abufuw sɔre tiaa Usa ma owui, efisɛ ɔde ne nsa aka Apam Adaka no. Enti Usa wuu wɔ Onyankopɔn anim hɔ ara.
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 Dawid bo fuwii, efisɛ Awurade abufuw atia Usa. Ɔtoo beae hɔ din Peres-Usa a wɔda so frɛ hɔ saa de besi nnɛ.
And David was displeased, because YHWH had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to this day.
12 Afei, na Dawid suro Onyankopɔn, na obisae se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matumi de Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka yi aba abɛhwɛ so?”
And David was afraid of Elohim that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of Elohim home to me?
13 Enti Dawid yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔnna mmfa Apam Adaka no nkɔ Dawid kurow no mu. Mmom, ɔde kɔɔ Gatni, Obed-Edom fi wɔ Gat.
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 Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no sii Obed-Edom abusuafo nkyɛn asram abiɛsa. Na Awurade hyiraa no ne ne fifo nyinaa.
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.
