1 Crônicas 13

Ka Kawea te Āka o te Kawenata mai i Kiriata Tearimi

1 Nā, ka rūnanga a Rāwiri ki ngā rangatira o ngā mano, o ngā rau, arā ki ngā rangatira katoa. 2 Ā, i mea a Rāwiri ki te whakaminenga katoa o Īharaira, "Ki te pai koutou, ā, ka tika mai i tō tātou Atua, i a Ihowā, me tuku tāngata tātou ki ia wāhi, ki ia wāhi, ki ō tātou tēina kua mahue nei ki ngā whenua katoa o Īharaira, ki a rātou ko ngā tohunga, ko ngā Rīwaiti, ki ngā pā, ki ngā wāhi o waho ake o aua pā, kia huihui mai rātou ki a tātou. 3 Ā, me whakahoki mai e tātou te āka a tō tātou Atua ki a tātou. Kīhai hoki tātou i rapu tikanga ki reira i ngā rā o Haora." 4 Nā, ka mea te whakaminenga katoa kia pērā anō rātou; he tika hoki taua mea ki te titiro a te iwi katoa.

5 Heoi, ka huihuia e Rāwiri a Īharaira katoa i Hihoro, i te awa o Īhipa ā tae i noa ki te haerenga atu ki Hāmata, hei mau ake i te āka a te Atua i Kiriata Tearimi. 6 Nā, ko te haerenga o Rāwiri rātou ko Īharaira katoa ki Paaraha, arā ki Kiriata Tearimi o Hūrā, hei mau ake i reira i te āka a te Atua, a Ihowā e noho nei i runga o ngā kerupima, i huaina nei ki te Ingoa.

7 Nā, ka mauria e rātou te āka a te Atua i runga i te kāta hou, ā, tangohia ana mai i te whare o Apinarapa; ā, nā Uha rāua ko Ahio i ārahi te kāta. 8 Nā, ka whakapaua te kaha e Rāwiri rātou ko Īharaira katoa ki te tākaro ki te aroaro o te Atua; he waiata anō tā rātou, he hāpa, he timipera, he himipora, he tētere.

9 Ā, ka tae ki te patunga wīti a Hirono, ka totoro te ringa o Uha ki te pupuri i te āka; i tāpatupatu, hoki ngā kau. 10 Nā, ka mura te riri o Ihowā ki a Uha; patua iho mō tōna ringa i totoro ki te āka; ā mate iho ia i reira i te aroaro o te Atua.

11 Nā, ka pōuri a Rāwiri mō te tōreretanga i tōrere ai a Ihowā ki a Uha. Nā, huaina ana e ia taua wāhi ko Pereteuha; e mau nei anō ā taea noatia tēnei rā.

12 Nā, ka wehi a Rāwiri i a Ihowā i taua rā; ā, ka mea ia, "Me pēhea tāku kawe mai i te āka a Ihowā ki ahau ki tōku whare?" 13 Heoi, kīhai a Rāwiri i tango i te āka ki a ia, ki te pā o Rāwiri; i kawea kētia e ia ki te whare o Opere-Eroma Kiti. 14 Nā, noho ana te āka a te Atua ki te whānau a Opere-Eroma, ki tōna whare hoki, e toru ngā marama, ā, ka manaakitia e Ihowā te whare o Opere-Eroma me āna mea katoa.

1 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader. 2 And David said unto all the assembly of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and if it be of Jehovah our God, let us send abroad every where unto our brethren that are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us; 3 and let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we sought not unto it in the days of Saul. 4 And all the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. 5 So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor the brook of Egypt even unto the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim. 6 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God Jehovah that sitteth above the cherubim, that is called by the Name. 7 And they carried the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart. 8 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

9 And when they came unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. 10 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God. 11 And David was displeased, because Jehovah had broken forth upon Uzza: and he called that place Perez-uzza, unto this day. 12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me? 13 So David removed not the ark unto him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 14 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months: and Jehovah blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
