¹Zvino Dhavhidhi akarangana navakuru vechiuru chamazana navamazana, navatungamiriri vose,

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

²Dhavhidhi akati kuungano yose yaIsiraeri, Kana imwi muchiti zvakanaka, uye kana zvichibva kuna Jehovha Mwari wedu, ngatitume shoko kose kuhama dzedu dzakasara munyika yose yalsiraeri, nokuvapristi navaRevhi vari mumaguta avo anamafuro, kuti vaungane nesu;

²And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, 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:

³tidzoserezve areka yaMwari wedu kwatiri, nekuti hatina kuirangarira pamazuva aSauro.

³And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul.

⁴Ungano yose ikatenda kuzviita; nekuti vanhu vose vakati zvakanaka.

⁴And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

⁵Zvino Dhavhidhi akaunganidza vaIsiraeri vose, kubva paShihori irwo rukova rweEgipita, kusvikira pavanopinda paHamati, kuti vatore areka yaMwari paKiriatijearimi.

⁵So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim.

⁶Dhavhidhi akakwira, iye navaIsiraeri vose, vakaenda Bhaara, ndiro Kiriatijearimi raiva raJudha, kuzotorapo areka yaMwari, iye Jehovha agere pamakerubhi pamusoro pawo, pavanonamata Zita rake.

⁶And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubim, whose name is called on it.

⁷Vakatakura areka yaMwari pangoro itsva, vakaibvisa paimba yaAbhinadhabhu; Uza naAhio vakafambisa ngoro.

⁷And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.

⁸Dhavhidhi navaIsiraeri vose vakatamba pamberi paMwari nesimba ravo rose nenziyo, nembira, nemitengerangwa, nengoma, namakandira, nehwamanda.

⁸And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

⁹Zvino vakati vachisvika paburiro raKidhoni, Uza akatambanudza ruoko rwake kuti abate areka, nekuti nzombe dzakanga dzogumburwa.

⁹And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

¹⁰Kutsamwa kwaJehovha kukamukira Uza, akamuuraya, nekuti akatambanudza ruoko rwake kuti abate areka; akafirapo pamberi paMwari.

¹⁰And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.

¹¹Ipapo Dhavhidhi akaora moyo nekuti Jehovha akarova Uza; akatumidza nzvimbo iyo zita rinonzi Pereziuza kusvikira zuva ranhasi.

¹¹And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.

¹²Dhavhidhi akatya Mwari nomusi uyo, akati, Ndingaisa areka yaMwari kumusha kwangu seiko?

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

¹³Naizvozvo Dhavhidhi haana kuisa areka yaMwari kumusha kwaDhavhidhi, asi akaitsausira kumba kwaObhedhi-Edhomu muGiti.

¹³So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.

¹⁴Areka yaMwari ikagara pamhuri yaObhedhi-Edhomu mumba make mwedzi mitatu; Jehovha akaropafadza imba yaObhedhi-Edhomu nezvose zvaakanga anazvo.

¹⁴And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had.
