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

¹¶ Na ka huihuia ano e Rawiri te hunga whiriwhiri katoa o Iharaira e toru tekau mano.

²David arose, and went with all the people who were with him, from Baale Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, even the name of Yahweh of Armies who sits above the cherubim.

²A ka whakatika a Rawiri ratou ko tona nuinga katoa, haere ana i Paare o Hura, tikina ana i reira te aaka a Ihowa, e huaina nei ki te Ingoa, ara ki te ingoa o Ihowa o nga mano, e noho nei i waenganui o nga kerupima.

³They set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in the hill: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.

³Na ka whakanohoia e ratou te aaka a te Atua ki runga ki te kata hou, a mauria ana i te whare o Apinarapa i Kipea; a na Uha raua ko Ahio, na nga tama a Apinarapa, i arahi te kata hou.

⁴They brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in the hill, with the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.

⁴Na kawea ana i te whare o Apinarapa i Kipea, me te haere tahi ano ratou ko te aaka a te Atua; i haere ano a Ahio i mua i te aaka.

⁵David and all the house of Israel played before Yahweh with all kinds of instruments made of fir wood, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with castanets, and with cymbals.

⁵Na ka takaro a Rawiri ratou ko te whare katoa o Iharaira ki te aroaro o Ihowa, me te whakatangi ano i a ratou mea katoa he kauri nei te rakau, i nga hapa, i nga hatere, i nga timipera, i nga koronete, i nga himipora.

⁶When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached for the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the cattle stumbled.

⁶¶ A ka tae ki te patunga witi a Nakono, ka totoro a Uha ki te aaka a te Atua, a puritia ana e ia; i paheke hoki nga kau.

⁷The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzzah; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.

⁷Na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Uha, a patua iho ia i reira e te Atua mo tona he, a mate ake i reira i te taha o te aaka a te Atua.

⁸David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken forth on Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah, to this day.

⁸Na ka pouri a Rawiri mo ta Ihowa tukitukinga i a Uha; na huaina ana taua wahi e ia, ko Pereteuha; koia ano tena inaianei.

⁹David was afraid of Yahweh that day; and he said, “How shall the ark of Yahweh come to me?”

⁹Na ka wehi a Rawiri i a Ihowa i taua ra, ka mea, Ma te aha e tae ake ai te aaka a Ihowa ki ahau.

¹⁰So David would not move the ark of Yahweh to be with him in the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

¹⁰Heoi kihai a Rawiri i pai ki te tango i te aaka a Ihowa ki a ia, ki te pa o Rawiri; na kawea ketia ana e Rawiri ki te whare o Opereeroma Kiti.

¹¹The ark of Yahweh remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months: and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom, and all his house.

¹¹E toru nga marama i noho ai te aaka a Ihowa ki te whare o Opereeroma Kiti: a ka manaakitia e Ihowa a Opereeroma ratou ko tona whare katoa.

¹²It was told king David, saying, “Yahweh has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that pertains to him, because of the ark of God.” David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom into the city of David with joy.

¹²¶ A ka korerotia te korero ki a Kingi Rawiri, Kua manaakitia e Ihowa te whare o Opereeroma me ana mea katoa, he whakaaro ki te aaka a te Atua. Na ka haere a Rawiri, a kawea ana e ia te aaka a te Atua, i te whare o Opereeroma ki runga, ki te pa o R awiri, me te koa ano ia.

¹³It was so, that, when those who bore the ark of Yahweh had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.

¹³A ka ono nga hikoinga i hokoi ai nga kaiamo i te aaka a Ihowa, na ka patua e ia etahi kau me tetahi mea momona.

¹⁴David danced before Yahweh with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.

¹⁴Na ka whakapaua katoatia tona kaha e Rawiri ki te kanikani ki te aroaro o Ihowa: i whitikiria ano he epora rinena ki a Rawiri.

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

¹⁵Heoi ka kawea te aaka a Ihowa e Rawiri ratou ko te whare katoa o Iharaira, me te hamama ano ratou, me te tangi ano te tetere.

¹⁶It was so, as the ark of Yahweh came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before Yahweh; and she despised him in her heart.

¹⁶A, i te taenga o te aaka a Ihowa ki te pa o Rawiri, na ka titiro a Mikara, tamahine a Haora na te matapihi, a ka kite i a Kingi Rawiri e tupekepeke ana, e kanikani ana i te aroaro o Ihowa; a whakahawea ana ia ki a ia i roto i tona ngakau.

¹⁷They brought in the ark of Yahweh, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh.

¹⁷Na ka kawea e ratou te aaka a Ihowa, a whakaturia ana ki tona wahi, ki waenganui o te tapenakara i whakaarahia e Rawiri mona: na ka tapaea e Rawiri etahi tahunga tinana ki te aroaro o Ihowa, me etahi whakahere mo te pai.

¹⁸When David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh of Armies.

¹⁸A, no ka mutu ta Rawiri tapae i nga tahunga tinana, i nga whakahere mo te pai, ka manaakitia e ia te iwi i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa o nga mano.

¹⁹He gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, dates, and raisins. So all the people departed everyone to his house.

¹⁹I tuwhaina ano e ia ma te iwi katoa, ma te huihui katoa o Iharaira, ma te tane, ma te wahine, kotahi keke taro ma tenei, ma tenei, me tetahi wahi kikokiko, me tetahi keke karepe maroke. Na haere ana te iwi katoa ki tona whare, ki tona whare.

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

²⁰¶ Katahi a Rawiri ka hoki ki te manaaki i tona whare. A ka puta a Mikara, tamahine a Haora ki te whakatau i a Rawiri, a ka mea, Ano te kororia o te kingi o Iharaira inaianei, i whakakite kirikau nei i a ia inakuanei ki nga kanohi o nga pononga wah ine a ana tangata, pera i tetahi o te hunga wairangi e whakakite nui ana i a ia!

²¹David said to Michal, “It was before Yahweh, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of Yahweh, over Israel. Therefore will I celebrate before Yahweh.

²¹Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Mikara, I te aroaro ra o Ihowa, i whiriwhiri nei i ahau, i kape nei i tou papa, me tona whare katoa, i whakarite hoki a ahau hei rangatira mo te iwi a Ihowa, mo Iharaira; koia ahau ka takaro ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

²²I will be yet more vile than this, and will be base in my own sight. But of the handmaids of whom you have spoken, they shall honor me.”

²²Na ka nui atu ano i tenei toku wairangi, a ka iti iho ahau ki taku titiro; ko nga pononga wahine ia i kiia mai na e koe, ka whakahonoretia ahau e ratou.

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

²³Na kahore he tamariki a Mikara tamahine a Haora a taea noatia te ra i mate ai ia.
