I Paralipomenon 13

1 Iniit autem consilium David cum tribunis, et centurionibus, et universis principibus,

David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.

2 et ait ad omnem coetum Israel: Si placet vobis: a Domino Deo nostro egreditur sermo, quem loquor: mittamus ad fratres nostros reliquos in universas regiones Israel, et ad Sacerdotes, et Levitas, qui habitant in suburbanis urbium, ut congregentur ad nos,

David said to all the assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you, and if there is a breakthrough from the LORD 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 et reducamus arcam Dei nostri ad nos: non enim requisivimus eam in diebus Saul.

and let us bring again the ark of our God to us. For we did not seek it in the days of Saul."

4 Et respondit universa multitudo ut ita fieret: placuerat enim sermo omni populo.

All the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

5 Congregavit ergo David cunctum Israel a Sihor Aegypti, usque dum ingrediaris Emath, ut adduceret arcam Dei de Cariathiarim.

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 Et ascendit David, et omnis vir Israel ad collem Cariathiarim, qui est in Iuda, ut afferret inde arcam Domini Dei sedentis super cherubim, ubi invocatum est nomen eius.

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 the LORD enthroned on the cherubim.

7 Imposueruntque arcam Dei super plaustrum novum, de domo Abinadab: Oza autem, et frater eius minabant plaustrum.

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 Porro David, et universus Israel ludebant coram Deo omni virtute in canticis, et in citharis, et psalteriis, et tympanis, et cymbalis, et tubis.

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 Cum autem pervenisset ad Aream Chidon, tetendit Oza manum suam, ut sustentaret arcam: bos quippe lasciviens paululum inclinaverat eam.

When they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

10 Iratus est itaque Dominus contra Ozam, et percussit eum, eo quod tetigisset arcam: et mortuus est ibi coram Domino.

The anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he struck him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God.

11 Contristatusque est David, eo quod divisisset Dominus Ozam: vocavitque locum illum: Divisio Ozae usque in praesentem diem.

David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.

12 Et timuit Deum tunc temporis, dicens: Quo modo possum ad me introducere arcam Dei?

David was afraid of God that day, saying, "How can I bring the ark of God to me?"

13 Et ob hanc causam non adduxit eam ad se, hoc est, in Civitatem David, sed avertit in domum Obededom Gethaei.

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 Mansit ergo arca Dei in domo Obededom tribus mensibus: et benedixit Dominus domui eius, et omnibus quae habebat.

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.
