1 Chronicles 13
1 [One day] David talked with all his army officers. Some of them were commanders of 100 soldiers and some were commanders of 1,000 soldiers.
И Давид учини веће с хиљадницима и са стотиницима и са свим војводама,
2 Then he summoned the other Israeli leaders and said to all of them, “If it seems to you to be a good thing for us to do, and if it is what Yahweh our God wants, let’s send a message to our fellow Israelis in all the areas of our country, including the priests and [other] descendants of Levi who are living among them in their towns and in the nearby pasturelands, to come and join us,
И рече Давид свему збору Израиљевом: Ако вам је по вољи, и ако је од Господа Бога нашег, да пошаљемо на све стране к браћи својој осталој по свим крајевима Израиљевим, и к свештеницима и Левитима по градовима и подграђима њиховим да се скупе к нама,
3 because we want to bring the Sacred Chest of our God back to us. While Saul [was the king], we did not go to God’s presence to ask him what we should do.”
Па да донесемо к себи ковчег Бога свог, јер Га не тражисмо за времена Сауловог.
4 All the people agreed with David, because they all thought that it was the right thing to do.
А сав збор рече да се тако учини, јер то би по вољи свему народу.
5 So David gathered all the Israeli people, from the Shihor [River] in Egypt to Lebo-Hamath [town in the north, and told them that he wanted them] to [help] bring the Sacred Chest of God [back to Jerusalem] from Kiriath-Jearim [city].
И тако Давид сабра сав народ Израиљев од Сихора мисирског дори до Емата, да донесу ковчег Божији из Киријат-Јарима.
6 David went with all the Israeli people to Baalah [town], which is [another name for] Kiriath-Jearim, to get the Sacred Chest. [The people believed that] God ruled from between the statues of winged creatures that was above the lid of the Sacred Chest [MTY].
И отиде Давид са свим Израиљем у Валу, у Киријат-Јарим Јудин, да пренесу оданде ковчег Бога Господа, који седи на херувимима, чије се име призива.
7 The people put the Sacred Chest on a new cart and transported it from Abinadab’s house. Uzzah and Ahio were guiding [the oxen that were pulling the cart].
И повезоше ковчег Божији на новим колима из куће Авинадавове; а Уза и Ахијо управљаху колима.
8 David and all the Israeli people were celebrating in God’s presence with all their strength. They were singing and [playing] lyres, harps, tambourines, and cymbals, and [blowing] trumpets.
А Давид и сав народ Израиљем играху пред Богом из све снаге певајући и ударајући у гусле и у псалтире и у бубње и у кимвале и трубећи у трубе.
9 But when David’s men came to the place where Kidon threshed grain, the oxen stumbled. So Uzzah reached out with his hand to prevent the Sacred Chest from falling off the cart.
А кад дођоше до гумна Хидоновог, Уза се маши руком да прихвати ковчег јер волови потегоше на страну.
10 Yahweh immediately became very angry with Uzzah, and he caused Uzzah to suddenly die there because he had put his hand on the Sacred Chest, [and Yahweh had commanded that only the descendants of Levi who help the priests should touch the Sacred Chest].
И Господ се разгневи на Узу, и удари га што се маши руком за ковчег, те умре онде пред Богом.
11 David was angry because Yahweh had punished [MTY] Uzzah. And now that place [where Uzzah died] is called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
И ожалости се Давид што Господ уби Узу: Зато се прозва оно место Фарес-Уза до данас.
12 That day, David was afraid of God. He asked [himself], “(How can I bring God’s Sacred Chest to my [city]?/I am afraid to bring God’s Sacred Chest to my [city].)” [RHQ]
И уплаши се Давид од Бога у онај дан, и рече: Како ћу донети к себи ковчег Божји?
13 So the men with David did not take the Sacred Chest to Jerusalem. Instead, they took it to the house of Obed-Edom, who was from Gath [city].
И не пренесе Давид ковчег к себи у град Давидов, него га склони у кућу Овид-Едома Гетејина.
14 The Sacred Chest stayed with Obed-Edom’s family in his house for three months. And [during that time] Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom’s family and everything that he owned.
И оста ковчег Божји код породице Овид-Едомове у кући његовој три месеци. И Господ благослови дом Овид-Едомов и све што имаше.
