1 Ljetopisa 13
1 David je vijećao s tisućnicima, stotnicima i sa svim vođama.
And David took counsel with the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, [even with] every commander.
2 I reče on svemu zboru Izraelovu: “Ako vam je pravo te ako je naš Bog Jahve odlučio tako, poslat ćemo glasnike k svojoj ostaloj braći u svim izraelskim zemljama, a tako i svećenicima s njima i levitima po gradovima pašnjaka njihovih, da se ujedine s nama.
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 Prenijet ćemo k sebi Kovčeg svoga Boga, jer ga nismo doista tražili za Šaulovih dana.”
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 Sav zbor odluči da se tako učini, jer je to bilo pravo u očima svega naroda.
And all the congregation said that they would do thus; for the saying was right in the eyes of all the people.
5 Tako je David sabrao sav narod Izraelov od Egipatskoga Šihora pa do Ulaza u Hamat da donesu Kovčeg Božji iz Kirjat Jearima.
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 Pošao je David sa svim Izraelom u Baalu, u Kirjat Jearim, koji je u Judi, da odande ponesu Kovčeg Božji nazvan imenom Jahve, koji stoluje nad kerubinima.
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 Povezli su Kovčeg Božji na novim kolima iz Abinadabove kuće; a Uza i Ahjo upravljali su kolima.
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 David i sav Izrael igrali su pred Bogom iz sve snage pjevajući uza zvuke citara, harfa, bubnjeva, cimbala i truba.
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 Kad su došli do Kidonova gumna, posegnu Uza rukom da pridrži Kovčeg jer ga volovi umalo ne prevrnuše.
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 Ali se Jahve razgnjevio na Uzu i udario ga zato što je pružio ruku prema Kovčegu. Umro je ondje pred Bogom.
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 Davidu bijaše žao što je Jahve onako udario Uzu i on prozva ono mjesto Peres Uza, kako se zove i dan-danas.
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 Toga se dana David uplaši Boga i reče: “Kako ću donijeti k sebi Kovčeg Božji?”
And David feared God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God in to myself?
13 Nije dao svratiti Kovčega k sebi u Davidov grad nego ga skloni u kuću Obed-Edoma Gitejca.
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 I ostade Kovčeg Božji kod Obed-Edomove obitelji, u njegovoj kući, tri mjeseca. Jahve stoga blagoslovi Obed-Edomovu kuću i sve što je imao.
And the ark of God abode in the house of Abeddara three months: and God blessed Abeddara and all that he had.
