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 rulers of thousands and hundreds, even with every chief ruler.
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 David said to all the convocation of Israel, If, unto you, it seemeth to be good, and from Yahweh our God, we will urgently send unto our brethren who remain in all the lands of Israel, and, with them, the priests and the Levites in their pasture-land cities, —that they may gather together unto 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 round the ark of our God, unto us, —For they 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.
Than said all the convocation, that it should be done thus, —for right was the thing, in the eyes of 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 convoked all Israel, from Shihor of Egypt, even unto the entering in of Hamath, —to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
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 and all Israel to Baalah, unto Kiriath-jearim, which pertaineth to Judah, —to bring up from thence, the ark of God—Yahweh who inhabiteth the cherubim, on which is called the Name.
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 waggon, out of the house of Aminadab, —and, Uzza and Ahio, were driving the waggon.
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, were dancing for joy before God, with all boldness, and with songs and with lyres, and with harps and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with 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 as far as the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza thrust forth his hand, to seize the ark, for the oxen were restive.
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.
Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh against Uzza, and he smote him, because he thrust forth his hand unto the ark, —and he died there, before God.
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 it was a sadness unto David, that Yahweh had broken in with a breach against Uzza, —and he called that place Perez-uzza, [as it is called] unto 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 David was afraid of God, on that day, saying, —How can I bring unto me, the ark of God?
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.
So David removed not the ark unto him, into the city of David, —but took it aside into the house of Obed-edom, the Gittite.
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 with the household of Obed-edom, in his house, three months, —and Yahweh blessed the household of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
