I Paralipomenon 13

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

And David consulted with the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, [and] with every leader.

2 et ait ad omnem cœtum Israel: Si placet vobis: et 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,

And David said to all the congregation of Israel, If [it seemeth] good to you, and [that it is] of the LORD our God, let us send abroad to our brethren every where, [that are] left in all the land of Israel, and with them [also] to the priests and Levites [who are] in their cities [and] suburbs, that they may assemble to us:

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

And let us bring again to us the ark of our God: for we inquired not at it in 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 so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

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

So David assembled all Israel, from Shihor of Egypt even to the entrance of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-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 Kirjath-jearim, 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].

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

And they carried the ark of God in a new cart 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.

And David and all Israel played before God with all [their] might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, 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.

And when they came to the threshing-floor of Chidon, 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.

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.

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

And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to this day.

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

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

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

So David brought not the ark to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

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

And 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.
