¹Zvino Dhavhidhi wakaunganidzazve varume vose vakanga vakatsaurwa vavaIsiraeri, vakanga vane zviuru zvina makumi matatu.

¹Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

²Dhavhidhi akasimuka, akaenda navanhu vose vaakanga anavo, vachibva Bhaarijudha, kuti vatorepo areka yaMwari, panodamwa Zita, iro Zita raJehovha wehondo, ugere pamusoro pamakerubhi.

²And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubim.

³Vakaisa areka yaMwari pamusoro pengoro itsva, vakaibvisa paimba yaAbhinadhabhu, yakanga iri pachikomo, Uza naAhiyo, vanakomana vaAbhinadhabhu, vakafambisa ngoro itsva.

³And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.

⁴Vakaibvisa paimba yaAbhinadhabhu, yakanga iri pachikomo, ine areka yaMwari; Ahiyo akatungamirira areka.

⁴And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.

⁵Dhavhidhi neimba yose yaIsiraeri vakaridza pamberi paJehovha zvinoridzwa zvamarudzi ose, zvomusiperesi, nembira, nemitengeramwa, nengoma, namatare, anoridzwa, namakandira.

⁵And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.

⁶Zvino vakati vachisvika paburiro raNakoni, Uza ndokutambanudzira ruoko rwake kuareka yaMwari, akaibata, nekuti nzombe dzakanga dzogumburwa.

⁶And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.

⁷Kutsamwa kwaJehovha kukamukira Uza, Mwari akamuuraya ipapo, nemhaka yokutadza kwake, iye akafirapo paareka yaMwari.

⁷And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.

⁸Dhavhidhi akagumbuka nekuti Jehovha wakange arova Uza, akatumidza nzvimbo iyo Pereziuza kusvikira zuva ranhasi.

⁸And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.

⁹Dhavhidhi akatya Jehovha zuva iro, akati, Zvino areka yaJehovha ichasvika seiko kwandiri?

⁹And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?

¹⁰Naizvozvo Dhavhidhi akaramba kuisa areka yaJehovha kwaari muguta raDhavhidhi; asi Dhavhidhi wakaitsausira kumba kwaObhedhi-Edhomu muGiti.

¹⁰So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.

¹¹Areka yaJehovha ikagara mumba maObhedhi-Edhomu muGiti mwedzi mitatu; Jehovha akaropafadza Obhedhi-Edhomu neimba yake yose.

¹¹And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.

¹²Zvino vakaudza mambo Dhavhidhi, vachiti, Jehovha wakaropafadza imba yaObhedhi-Edhomu nezvose zvake nokuda kweareka yaMwari. Ipapo Dhavhidhi akaenda akatora areka yaMwari kumba kwa Obhedhi-Edhomu, akakwira nayo kuguta raDhavhidhi nomufaro.

¹²And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.

¹³Zvino nguva dzose kana ivo, vakatakura areka vachinge vafamba nhambwe nhanhatu, akabaya mombe nemhuru yakakora.

¹³And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

¹⁴Dhavhidhi akatamba pamberi paJehovha nesimba rake rose; Dhavhidhi akanga akafuka efodhi yomucheka.

¹⁴And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

¹⁵Naizvozvo Dhavhidhi neimba yose yaIsiraeri vakakwira neareka yaJehovha vachipururudza nokuridza hwamanda.

¹⁵So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

¹⁶Zvino areka yaJehovha yakati ichisvika muguta raDhavhidhi, Mikari mukunda waSauro akatarira napahwindo, akaona mambo Dhavhidhi achipembera nokutamba pamberi paJehovha, akamushora mumoyo make.

¹⁶And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

¹⁷Vakapinda neareka yaJehovha, vakaiisa panzvimbo yayo pakati petende rayakanga yadzikirwa naDhavhidhi; Dhavhidhi akabayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvokuyananisa pamberi paJehovha.

¹⁷And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

¹⁸Zvino Dhavhidhi wakati apedza kubayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvokuyananisa, akaropafadza vanhu nezita raJehovha wehondo.

¹⁸And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.

¹⁹Akagovera vanhu vose, ivo vaIsiraeri vazhinji vose, varume navakadzi, mumwe nomumwe bundu rechingwa, nenhindi yenyama, nesumbu ramazambiringa akawomeswa. Zvino vanhu vose vakabva, mumwe nomumwe akaenda kumba kwake.

¹⁹And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.

²⁰Dhavhidhi akadzoka kuzoropafadza imba yake. Mikari mukunda waSauro akabuda kuzosangana naDhavhidhi, akati, Haiwa, mambo waIsiraeri wazvikudza sei nhasi, zvaakazvifukura pamberi pavarandakadzi vavaranda vake, sokuzvifukura kwebenzi risinganyari!

²⁰Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!

²¹Dhavhidhi akati kuna Mikari, Ndakazviita pamberi paJehovha, wakanditsaura pamusoro pababa vako, napamusoro peimba yake yose, kuti andiite mubati wavanhu vaJehovha, ivo vaIsiraeri; naizvozvo ndichatamba hangu pamberi paJehovha.

²¹And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.

²²Ndichazvidukupisa kupfuura izvozvo, ndichazvininipisa pachangu; asi varandakadzi vawareva, ndichakudzwa navo.

²²And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honor.

²³Mikari mukunda waSauro, wakange asina vana kusvikira zuva rokufa kwake.

²³Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
