I Paralipomenon 13

1 iniit autem consilium David cum tribunis et centurionibus et universis principibus

And David took counsel with the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, [even with] every commander.

2 et ait ad omnem coetum Israhel si placet vobis et a Domino Deo nostro egreditur sermo quem loquor mittamus ad fratres nostros reliquos in universas regiones Israhel et ad sacerdotes et Levitas qui habitant in suburbanis urbium ut congregentur ad nos

And David said to the whole congregation of Israel, If it [seem] good to you, and it should be prospered by the Lord our God, let us send to our brethren that are left in all the land of Israel, and let the priests the Levites who are with them in the cities of their possession [come], and let them be gathered to us.

3 et reducamus arcam Dei nostri ad nos non enim requisivimus eam in diebus Saul

And let us bring over to us the ark of our God; for men have not enquired [at] it since the days of Saul.

4 et respondit universa multitudo ut ita fieret placuerat enim sermo omni populo

And all the congregation said that they would do thus; for the saying was right in the eyes of all the people.

5 congregavit ergo David cunctum Israhel a Sior Aegypti usque dum ingrediaris Emath ut adduceret arcam Dei de Cariathiarim

So David assembled all Israel, from the borders of Egypt even to the entering in of Hemath, to bring in the ark of God from the city of Jarim.

6 et ascendit David et omnis vir Israhel ad collem Cariathiarim quae est in Iuda ut adferrent inde arcam Dei Domini sedentis super cherubin ubi invocatum est nomen eius

And David brought it up: and all Israel went up to the city of David, which belonged to Juda, to bring up thence the ark of the Lord God who sits between the cherubim, whose name is called [on it].

7 inposueruntque arcam Dei super plaustrum novum de domo Aminadab Oza autem et fratres eius minabant plaustrum

And they set the ark of God on a new waggon [brought] out of the house of Aminadab: and Oza and his brethren drove the waggon.

8 porro David et universus Israhel ludebant coram Deo omni virtute in canticis et in citharis et psalteriis et tympanis et cymbalis et tubis

And David and all Israel [were] playing before the Lord with all their might, and [that] together with singers, and with harps, and with lutes, with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

9 cum autem pervenissent ad aream Chidon tetendit Oza manum suam ut sustentaret arcam bos quippe lasciviens paululum inclinaverat eam

And they came as far as the threshing floor: and Oza put forth his hand to hold the ark, because the bullock moved it from [its place].

10 iratus est itaque Dominus contra Ozam et percussit eum eo quod contigisset arcam et mortuus est ibi coram Deo

And the Lord was very angry with Oza, and struck him there, because of his stretching forth his hand upon the ark: and he died there before God.

11 contristatusque David eo quod divisisset Dominus Ozam vocavit locum illum Divisio Oza usque in praesentem diem

And David was dispirited, because the Lord [had] made a breach on Oza: and he called that place the Breach of Oza until this day.

12 et timuit Deum tunc temporis dicens quomodo possum ad me introducere arcam Dei

And David feared God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God in to myself?

13 et ob hanc causam non eam adduxit ad se hoc est in civitatem David sed avertit in domum Obededom Getthei

So David brought not the ark home to himself into the city of David, but he turned it aside into the house of Abeddara the Gethite.

14 mansit ergo arca Dei in domo Obededom tribus mensibus et benedixit Dominus domui eius et omnibus quae habebat

And the ark of God abode in the house of Abeddara three months: and God blessed Abeddara and all that he had.
