١ أخبار 13

١ 1 وَشَاوَرَ دَاوُدُ قُوَّادَ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَٱلْمِئَاتِ وَكُلَّ رَئِيسٍ.

And David consulted with the officers of the thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.

٢ 2 وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِكُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «إِنْ حَسُنَ عِنْدَكُمْ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا، فَلْنُرْسِلْ إِلَى كُلِّ جِهَةٍ، إِلَى إِخْوَتِنَا ٱلْبَاقِينَ فِي كُلِّ أَرَاضِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَعَهُمُ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ فِي مُدُنِ مَسَارِحِهِمْ لِيَجْتَمِعُوا إِلَيْنَا،

And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, if it seem good unto you, and if it be of the Lord our God, let us send widely about unto our brethren who are left in all the lands of Israel, and with them unto the priests and Levites who are in their cities and open districts, that they may gather themselves together unto us.

٣ 3 فَنُرْجِعَ تَابُوتَ إِلَهِنَا إِلَيْنَا لِأَنَّنَا لَمْ نَسْأَلْ بِهِ فِي أَيَّامِ شَاوُلَ».

And let us bring round the ark of our God to us; for we have inquired not at it in the days of Saul.

٤ 4 فَقَالَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ بِأَنْ يَفْعَلُوا ذَلِكَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَمْرَ حَسُنَ فِي أَعْيُنِ جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ.

And all the congregation said that this should be done; for the king was right in the eyes of all the people.

٥ 5 وَجَمَعَ دَاوُدُ كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ شِيحُورِ مِصْرَ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ لِيَأْتُوا بِتَابُوتِ ٱللهِ مِنْ قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ.

So David assembled all Israel together, from Shichor of Egypt even unto the entrance of Chemath, to bring the ark of God from Kiryath-ye'arim.

٦ 6 وَصَعِدَ دَاوُدُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى بَعْلَةَ، إِلَى قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا، لِيُصْعِدُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْكَرُوبِيمَ ٱلَّذِي دُعِيَ بِٱلِٱسْمِ.

And David went up, with all Israel, to Ba'alah, [that is] to Kiryath-ye'arim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the Lord, that dwelleth between the cherubim, whose name is called [on it].

٧ 7 وَأَرْكَبُوا تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ عَلَى عَجَلَةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِينَادَابَ، وَكَانَ عُزَّا وَأَخِيُو يَسُوقَانِ ٱلْعَجَلَةَ،

And they conveyed the ark of God in a new wagon out of the house of Abinadab: and 'Uzza and Achyo guided the wagon.

٨ 8 وَدَاوُدُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَلْعَبُونَ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ بِكُلِّ عِزٍّ وَبِأَغَانِيَّ وَعِيدَانٍ وَرَبَابٍ وَدُفُوفٍ وَصُنُوجٍ وَأَبْوَاقٍ.

And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and on harps, and on psalteries, and on tambourines, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

٩ 9 وَلَمَّا ٱنْتَهَوْا إِلَى بَيْدَرِ كِيدُونَ، مَدَّ عُزَّا يَدَهُ لِيُمْسِكَ ٱلتَّابُوتَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلثِّيرَانَ ٱنْشَمَصَتْ.

And when they came as far as the threshing-floor of Kidon, 'Uzza put forth his hand to take hold of the ark; for the oxen shook it.

١٠ 10 فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى عُزَّا وَضَرَبَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ مَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى ٱلتَّابُوتِ، فَمَاتِ هُنَاكَ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ.

And the anger of the Lord was kindled against 'Uzza, and he smote him, because he had put forth his hand toward the ark: and he died there before God.

١١ 11 فَٱغْتَاظَ دَاوُدُ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱقْتَحَمَ عُزَّا ٱقْتِحَامًا، وَسَمَّى ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ «فَارَصَ عُزَّا» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

And it was grievious to David, because the Lord had suddenly taken away 'Uzza; and he called that place Perez-'uzza [[Breach of 'Uzza]] until this day.

١٢ 12 وَخَافَ دَاوُدُ ٱللهَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ قَائِلًا: «كَيْفَ آتِي بِتَابُوتِ ٱللهِ إِلَيَّ؟».

And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring home to me the ark of God?

١٣ 13 وَلَمْ يَنْقُلْ دَاوُدُ ٱلتَّابُوتَ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، بَلْ مَالَ بِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ ٱلْجَتِّيِّ.

So David removed not the ark unto himself into the city of David, but had it carried round into the house of 'Obed-edom the Gittite.

١٤ 14 وَبَقِيَ تَابُوتُ ٱللهِ عِنْدَ بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ فِي بَيْتِهِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. وَبَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْتَ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ وَكُلَّ مَا لَهُ.

And the ark of God remained in the house of 'Obed-edom, in his house, three months. And the Lord blessed the house of 'Obed-edom, and all that belonged to him.
