(2 Samuele 6:1-11)1 Dafite kalebesana ne balauli be bali zwiwulu (1 000) ne be mazana (100) ne batungamili bose. 2 Ngono Dafite kadwa gubungano lose le Iziraela kati, “Ha kwaka mululwamila kakale ha kuli kuda kwa Yahwe Ndzimu wedu ngati tumileni ndaidzo ku zwikamu zwedu mu mituthu yose ye Iziraela ne bapirisiti ne Balevi mu mizi yabo ngono tibadwe bashangane naswi ipapa. 3 Kudwapo ngati buzeni Bhokisi le Ndzimu wedu ku tili ngobe takalilashilila mu misi ya Saulo.” 4 Gubungano lose likaduma kuthama saikoko ngobe kwakabe kwakalulwama mbeli kwe bathu bose.
5 Ndizo Dafite kakubunganya Iziraela yose kudwa pa Gwizi gwe Shihori ye Egipiti kunoti ku nkoba we Hamati kuzhisa Bhokisi le Ndzimu kudwa mu Kiriatijearimu. 6 Dafite ne Iziraela yose bakayenda ku Bhaala hwuti Kiriatijearimu ye Juda kunotola Bhokisi le Ndzimu linodang'wa nge zina la Yahwe ibo bagele pezhugwi kwe dzikherubhu. 7 Bakasenga Bhokisi le Ndzimu nge kara tshwa kudwa pa ng'umba ya Abinadabu, Uza na Ahio bakabe beyendisa kara, 8 ha Dafite ne Iziraela yose bakabe bezana mbeli kwe Ndzimu nge mimoyo yabo yose bemba belidza zwilidzo zwe matende ne nyele ne zwe thamborini ne dzisimbali ne manyanga.
9 Bakati beswika pa libuwa gwe Khidoni ngabe dzikabe dzitshatsharika ngono Uza katambunudza luboko gugwe kubhata Bhokisi. 10 Ngono bushongola gwa Yahwe gukadelukila muna Uza bakanligila pasi ngobe aabilila Bhokisi ngono kafa ipapo mbeli kwe Ndzimu. 11 Koga Dafite kagwadza moyo ngobe Yahwe baloba Uza ngono kadana pathu ipapo Pereziuza kuswikila nasi. 12 Ngono Dafite katja Ndzimu tjose zhuba ilelo ngono kabe eti, “Ndowoyisa Bhokisi le Ndzimu ku nzi wangu tjini wali?” 13 Ndizo Dafite kasitjayise Bhokisi ku nzi nkulu wa Dafite koga kaliyisa ntome ku ng'umba ya Obediedomu we N'giti. 14 Ngono Bhokisi le Ndzimu likagala mu nsha wa Obediedomu mu ng'umba iye mimwedzi ili mitatu ngono Yahwe bakakombolela nsha wa Obediedomu ne tjimwe ne tjimwe tjaakabe anatjo.
1 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader. 2 And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us: 3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul. 4 And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. 5 So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim. 6 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is , to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it . 7 And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart. 8 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
9 ¶ And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. 10 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God. 11 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to 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 brought not the ark home to himself to 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 the LORD blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
