1 Kronická 13
1 David pak poradil se s hejtmany nad tisíci, s setníky a se všemi vývodami.
[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.
2 A řekl David všemu shromáždění Izraelskému: Jestliže se vám líbí, a jestli to od Hospodina Boha našeho, rozešleme posly k bratřím našim pozůstalým do všech zemí Izraelských, a též kněžím a Levítům do měst a předměstí jejich, a nechť se shromáždí k nám,
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,
3 Abychom zase k nám přivezli truhlu Boha našeho; nebo jsme jí nehledali ve dnech Saulových.
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.”
4 I řeklo všecko množství, aby se tak stalo; nebo líbila se ta věc všemu lidu.
All the people agreed with David, because they all thought that it was the right thing to do.
5 Protož shromáždil David všecken lid Izraelský od Nílu Egyptského, až kudy se vchází do Emat, aby přivezli truhlu Hospodinovu z Kariatjeharim.
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].
6 A tak vstoupil David a všecken lid Izraelský do Bála, v Kariatjeharim, kteréž jest v Judstvu, aby přenesli odtud truhlu Boha Hospodina, sedícího nad cherubíny, jehož se jméno vzývá.
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].
7 I vstavili truhlu Boží na nový vůz, vzavše ji z domu Abinadabova, Uza pak a Achio spravovali vůz.
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].
8 Ale David a všecken lid Izraelský hrali před Bohem ze vší síly, v zpěvích na harfy, na loutny, na bubny, na cymbály a na trouby.
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.
9 A když přišli až k humnu Kídon, vztáhl Uza ruku svou, aby pozdržel truhly; nebo uchýlili se volové.
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.
10 Protož rozhněval se Hospodin na Uzu a zabil jej, proto že vztáhl ruku svou k truhle; a umřel tu před Bohem.
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].
11 Tedy zkormoutil se David, proto že se Hospodin tak přísně obořil na Uzu. I nazval to místo Perez Uza až do tohoto dne.
David was angry because Yahweh had punished [MTY] Uzzah. And now that place [where Uzzah died] is called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
12 A boje se David Boha v ten den, řekl: Kterakž mám k sobě přivezti truhlu Boží?
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]
13 Pročež nepřenesl David truhly k sobě do města Davidova, ale obrátil ji do domu Obededoma Gittejského.
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].
14 I pozůstala truhla Boží mezi čeledí Obededomovou, v domě jeho za tři měsíce, a požehnal Hospodin domu Obededomovu a všem věcem jeho.
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.
