1 Ljetopisa 13
1 David je vijećao s tisućnicima, stotnicima i sa svim vođama.
David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.
2 I reče on svemu zboru Izraelovu: “Ako vam je pravo te ako je naš Bog Jahve odlučio tako, poslat ćemo glasnike k svojoj ostaloj braći u svim izraelskim zemljama, a tako i svećenicima s njima i levitima po gradovima pašnjaka njihovih, da se ujedine s nama.
David said to all the assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you, and if there is a breakthrough from YHWH our God, let us send abroad everywhere to our brothers who 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 to us;
3 Prenijet ćemo k sebi Kovčeg svoga Boga, jer ga nismo doista tražili za Šaulovih dana.”
and let us bring again the ark of our God to us. For we did not seek it in the days of Saul."
4 Sav zbor odluči da se tako učini, jer je to bilo pravo u očima svega naroda.
All the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
5 Tako je David sabrao sav narod Izraelov od Egipatskoga Šihora pa do Ulaza u Hamat da donesu Kovčeg Božji iz Kirjat Jearima.
So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor of Egypt even to Lebo Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim.
6 Pošao je David sa svim Izraelom u Baalu, u Kirjat Jearim, koji je u Judi, da odande ponesu Kovčeg Božji nazvan imenom Jahve, koji stoluje nad kerubinima.
And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of YHWH enthroned on the cherubim.
7 Povezli su Kovčeg Božji na novim kolima iz Abinadabove kuće; a Uza i Ahjo upravljali su kolima.
They carried the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
8 David i sav Izrael igrali su pred Bogom iz sve snage pjevajući uza zvuke citara, harfa, bubnjeva, cimbala i truba.
David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
9 Kad su došli do Kidonova gumna, posegnu Uza rukom da pridrži Kovčeg jer ga volovi umalo ne prevrnuše.
When they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
10 Ali se Jahve razgnjevio na Uzu i udario ga zato što je pružio ruku prema Kovčegu. Umro je ondje pred Bogom.
The anger of YHWH was kindled against Uzza, and he struck him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God.
11 Davidu bijaše žao što je Jahve onako udario Uzu i on prozva ono mjesto Peres Uza, kako se zove i dan-danas.
David was displeased, because YHWH had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.
12 Toga se dana David uplaši Boga i reče: “Kako ću donijeti k sebi Kovčeg Božji?”
David was afraid of God that day, saying, "How can I bring the ark of God to me?"
13 Nije dao svratiti Kovčega k sebi u Davidov grad nego ga skloni u kuću Obed-Edoma Gitejca.
So David did not move the ark to him into the City of David, but diverted it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
14 I ostade Kovčeg Božji kod Obed-Edomove obitelji, u njegovoj kući, tri mjeseca. Jahve stoga blagoslovi Obed-Edomovu kuću i sve što je imao.
The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months: and YHWH blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he had.
