1 Whakapapa 13
1 Na ka runanga a Rawiri ki nga rangatira o nga mano, o nga rau, ara ki nga rangatira katoa.
And David consulted with the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and with all the commanders.
2 A i mea a Rawiri ki te whakaminenga katoa o Iharaira, Ki te pai koutou, a ka tika mai i to tatou Atua, i a Ihowa, me tuku tangata tatou ki ia wahi, ki ia wahi, ki o tatou teina kua mahue nei ki nga whenua katoa o Iharaira, ki a ratou ko nga tohun ga, ko nga Riwaiti, ki nga pa, ki nga wahi o waho ake o aua pa, kia huihui mai ratou ki a tatou;
And he said to all the assembly of Israel: If it please you; and if the words which I speak come from the Lord our God, let us send to the rest of our brethren into all the countries of Israel, and to the priests, and the Levites, that dwell in the suburbs of the cities, to gather themselves to us,
3 A me whakahoki mai e tatou te aaka a to tatou Atua ki a tatou: kihai hoki tatou i rapu tikanga ki reira i nga ra o Haora.
And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we sought it not in the days of Saul.
4 Na ka mea te whakaminenga katoa kia pera ano ratou; he tika hoki taua mea ki te titiro a te iwi katoa.
And all the multitude answered that it should be so: for the word pleased all the people.
5 Heoi ka huihuia e Rawiri a Iharaira katoa i Hihoro, i te awa o Ihipa a tae noa ki te haerenga atu ki Hamata, hei mau ake i te aaka a te Atua i Kiriata Tearimi.
So David assembled all Israel from Sihor of Egypt, even to the entering into Emath, to bring the ark of God from Cariathiarim.
6 Na ko te haerenga o Rawiri ratou ko Iharaira katoa ki Paaraha, ara ki Kiriata Tearimi o Hura, hei mau ake i reira i te aaka a te Atua, a Ihowa e noho nei i runga o nga kerupima, i huaina nei ki te Ingoa.
And David went up with all the men of Israel to the hill of Cariathiarim which is in Juda, to bring thence the ark of the Lord God sitting upon the cherubims, where his name is called upon.
7 Na ka mauria e ratou te aaka a te Atua i runga i te kata hou, a tangohia ana mai i te whare o Apinarapa: a na Uha raua ko Ahio i arahi te kata.
And they carried the ark of God upon a new cart, out of the house of Abinadab. And Oza and his brother drove the cart.
8 Na ka whakapaua te kaha e Rawiri ratou ko Iharaira katoa ki te takaro ki te aroaro o te Atua; he waiata ano ta ratou, he hapa, he timipera, he himipora, he tetere.
And David and all Israel played before God with all their might with hymns, and with harps, and with psalteries, and timbrels, and cymbals, and trumpets,
9 A, ka tae ki te patunga witi a Hirono, ka totoro te ringa o Uha ki te pupuri i te aaka; i tapatupatu hoki nga kau.
And when they came to the floor of Chidon, Oza put forth his hand, to hold up the ark: for the ox being wanton had made it lean a little on one side.
10 Na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Uha, patua iho mo tona ringa i totoro ki te aaka; a mate iho ia i reira i te aroaro o te Atua.
And the Lord was angry with Oza, and struck him, because he had touched the ark; and he died there before the Lord.
11 Na ka puri a Rawiri mo te toreretanga i torere ai a Ihowa ki a Uha. Na huaina ana e ia taua wahi ko Pereteuha: e mau nei ano a taea noatia tenei ra.
And David was troubled because the Lord had divided Oza: and he called that place the Breach of Oza to this day.
12 Na ka wehi a Rawiri i a Ihowa i taua ra, a ka mea ia, Me pehea taku kawe mai i te aaka a Ihowa ki ahau ki toku whare?
And he feared God at that time, saying: How can I bring in the ark of God to me?
13 Heoi kihai a Rawiri i tango i te aaka ki a ia, ki te pa o Rawiri; i kawea ketia e ia ki te whare o Opereeroma Kiti.
And therefore he brought it not home to himself, that is, into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gethite.
14 Na noho ana te aaka a te Atua ki te whanau a Opereeroma, ki tona whare hoki, e toru nga marama. A ka manaakitia e Ihowa te whare o Opereeroma me ana mea katoa.
And the ark of God remained in the house of Obededom three months: and the Lord blessed his house, and all that he had.
