¹[Ny namindrana ny fiara niala tao Kiriata-jearima, sy ny nitoerany tao an-tranon'i Obed-edoma] Ary Davida naka saina tamin'ny mpifehy arivo sy ny mpifehy zato, dia ny mpifehy rehetra,

¹David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.

²Ka hoy Davida tamin'ny Isiraely rehetra izay tafangona: Raha ataonareo ho mety, sady avy amin'i Jehovah Andriamanitsika izany, dia andeha isika haniraka faingana any amin'ny rahalahintsika rehetra izay sisa amin'ny tanin'ny Isiraely rehetra ary amin'ny mpisorona sy ny Levita koa, izay any amin'ny tanànany sy ny tany manodidina azy, mba hivory atỳ amintsika;

²David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is of Yahweh our God, let us send abroad everywhere to our brothers who are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, that they may gather themselves to us;

³Ary aoka ho entintsika atỳ amintsika indray ny fiaran'Andriamanitsika; fa tsy nahoantsika tamin'ny andron'i Saoly izany.

³and let us bring again the ark of our God to us. For we didn’t seek it in the days of Saul.”

⁴Ary ny olona rehetra izay tafangona dia nanaiky hanao izany, satria marina teo imason'ny olona rehetra izany.

⁴All the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

⁵Dia novorin'i Davida ny Isiraely rehetra hatrany Sihora any Egypta ka hatrany akaikin'i Hamata haka ny fiaran'Andriamanitra avy any Kiriata-jearima.

⁵So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor the brook of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim.

⁶Dia niakatra Davida sy ny Isiraely rehetra hankany Bala any Joda (Kiriata-jearima izany) hampakatra ny fiaran'i Jehovah Andriamanitra, Izay mipetraka amin'ny kerobima, dia ilay niantsoany ny anarany.

⁶David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God Yahweh that sits above the cherubim, that is called by the Name.

⁷Ary nentiny tamin'ny sariety vaovao niala tao an-tranon'i Abinadaba ny fiaran'Andriamanitra, ary Oza sy Ahio no nampandeha ny sariety.

⁷They carried the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.

⁸Ary Davida sy ny Isiraely rehetra dia nitsinjaka fatratra teo anatrehan'Andriamanitra tamin'ny hira sy ny lokanga sy ny valiha sy ny ampongatapaka sy ny kipantsona ary ny trompetra.

⁸David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

⁹Ary nony tonga teo amin'ny famoloan'i Kidona izy, dia naninjitra ny tànany hihazona ny fiara Oza, satria nazeran'ny omby izany.

⁹When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

¹⁰Dia nirehitra tamin'i Oza ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah, ka namely azy Izy noho ny naninjirany ny tànany tamin'ny fiara, dia maty teo anatrehan'Andriamanitra izy.

¹⁰The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzza, and he struck him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God.

¹¹Ary dia tezitra Davida noho ny namelezan'i Jehovah an'i Oza, ka dia nataony hoe Perez-oza no anaran'izany tany izany mandraka androany.[Na: nalahelo][Perez-oza = Famelezana an'i Oza]

¹¹David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.

¹²Ary Davida natahotra an'Andriamanitra tamin'izany andro izany ka nanao hoe: Nahoana aho no hitondra ny fiaran'Andriamanitra ho atỳ amiko?

¹²David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?”

¹³Dia tsy nafindran'i Davida ho ao aminy ao an-tanànan'i Davida ny fiara, fa naviliny ho ao an-tranon'i Obededoma Gatita.Ary nipetraka telo volana tao amin'ny ankohonan'i Obed-edoma tao an-tranony ny fiaran'Andriamanitra; ka dia notahin'i Jehovah ny ankohonan'i Obed-edoma sy izay rehetra nananany.

¹³So David didn’t move the ark to him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

¹⁴Ary nipetraka telo volana tao amin'ny ankohonan'i Obed-edoma tao an-tranony ny fiaran'Andriamanitra; ka dia notahin'i Jehovah ny ankohonan'i Obed-edoma sy izay rehetra nananany.

¹⁴The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months: and Yahweh blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he had.
