1 أخبار 13

١ 1 وَتَدَاوَلَ دَاوُدُ مَعَ كُلِّ قَادَةِ الأُلُوفِ وَالْمِئَاتِ وَسَائِرِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ،

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

٢ 2 وَقَالَ لِكُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «إِنْ طَابَ لَكُمْ وَكَانَ هَذَا الأَمْرُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ، فَلْنَبْعَثْ إِلَى بَقِيَّةِ إِخْوَتِنَا الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَإِلَى الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ الْقَاطِنِينَ مَعَهُمْ فِي مُدُنِهِمْ وَمَرَاعِيهِمْ لِيَجْتَمِعُوا هُنَا،

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:

٣ 3 حَتَّى نُرْجِعَ تَابُوتَ إِلَهِنَا، لأَنَّنَا أَهْمَلْنَا طَلَبَ الْمَشُورَةِ بِوَاسِطَتِهِ مُنْذُ أَيَّامِ شَاوُلَ».

And let us bring again to us the ark of our God: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul.

٤ 4 فَقَالَتْ كُلُّ الْجَمَاعَةِ: «لِنَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ». لأَنَّ الأَمْرَ لاقَى اسْتِحْسَاناً لَدَيْهِمْ.

And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

٥ 5 وَحَشَدَ دَاوُدُ كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ حُدُودِ نَهْرِ شِيحُورِ مِصْرَ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ لِيَنْقُلُوا تَابُوتَ اللهِ مِنْ قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ.

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

٦ 6 وَانْطَلَقَ دَاوُدُ فِي طَلِيعَةِ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى بَعْلَةَ، إِلَى قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ الْوَاقِعَةِ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا، لِيُحْضِرُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ التَّابُوتَ الَّذِي دُعِيَ عَلَيْهِ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ الْجَالِسِ عَلَى الْكَرُوبِيمِ.

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].

٧ 7 وَأَخَذُوا التَّابُوتَ مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِينَادَابَ وَوَضَعُوهُ عَلَى عَرَبَةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ يَسُوقُهَا عُزَّا وَأَخِيُو.

And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.

٨ 8 وَرَاحَ دَاوُدُ وَسَائِرُ الشَّعْبِ يَحْتَفِلُونَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ بِكُلِّ اعْتِزَازٍ رَاقِصِينَ وَمُغَنِّينَ وَعَازِفِينَ عَلَى عِيدَانٍ وَرَبَابٍ وَدُفُوفٍ وَصُنُوجٍ وَأَبْوَاقٍ.

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.

٩ 9 وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغُوا بَيْدَرَ كِيدُونَ تَعَثَّرَتِ الثِّيرَانُ، فَمَدَّ عُزَّةُ يَدَهُ وَأَمْسَكَ بِالتَّابُوتِ لِيَمْنَعَهُ مِنَ السُّقُوطِ،

And when they came to the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

١٠ 10 فَاحْتَدَمَ عَلَيْهِ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ وَأَمَاتَهُ لأَنَّهُ مَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى التَّابُوتِ، وَهَكَذَا هَلَكَ هُنَاكَ أَمَامَ اللهِ.

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.

١١ 11 فَاغْتَاظَ دَاوُدُ لأَنَّ غَضَبَ الرَّبِّ انْصَبَّ عَلَى عُزَّةَ، وَسَمَّى ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعَ فَارَصَ عُزَّةَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: اقْتِحَامُ عُزَّةَ) إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

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

١٢ 12 وَاعْتَرَى دَاوُدَ الْخَوْفُ مِنَ اللهِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَقَالَ: «كَيْفَ أُحْضِرُ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَيَّ؟»

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

١٣ 13 وَلَمْ يَنْقُلْ دَاوُدُ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، بَلْ أَوْدَعَهُ بَيْتَ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ الْجَتِّيِّ.

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.

١٤ 14 وَمَكَثَ التَّابُوتُ فِي بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ ثَلاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ، بَارَكَ الرَّبُّ فيِ أَثْنَائِهَا بَيْتَ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ وَكُلَّ مَالَهُ.

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.
