Første Krønikebog 13
1 Efter at have raadført sig med Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne, alle Øversterne,
Then David had discussions with the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds and with every chief.
2 sagde David til hele Israels Forsamling: »Hvis det tykkes eder godt, og det er HERREN vor Guds Vilje, lad os saa sende Bud til vore Brødre, der er tilbage i alle Israels Landsdele, og ligeledes til Præsterne og Leviterne i Byerne, hvor de har deres Græsmarker, at de skal samles hos os,
And David said to all the men of Israel who had come together there, If it seems good to you and if it is the purpose of the Lord our God, let us send to all the rest of our brothers, everywhere in the land of Israel, and to the priests and the Levites in their towns and the country round them, and get them to come together here to us;
3 for at vi kan bringe vor Guds Ark tilbage til os, thi i Sauls Dage spurgte vi ikke om den.«
And let us get back for ourselves the ark of our God: for in the days of Saul we did not go to it for directions.
4 Og hele Forsamlingen svarede, at det skulde man gøre, thi alt Folket fandt Forslaget rigtigt.
And all the people said they would do so, for it seemed right to them.
5 Saa samlede David hele Israel lige fra Sjihor i Ægypten til Egnen ved Hamat for at hente Guds Ark i Kirjat-Jearim.
So David sent for all Israel to come together, from Shihor, the river of Egypt, as far as the way into Hamath, to get the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
6 Derpaa drog David og hele Israel op til Ba'ala, til Kirjat-Jearim i Juda for der at hente Gud HERRENS Ark, over hvilken hans Navn er nævnet, han, som troner over Keruberne.
And David went up, with all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim in Judah, to get up from there the ark of God, over which the holy Name is named, the name of the Lord whose place is between the winged ones.
7 De førte da Guds Ark bort fra Abinadabs Hus paa en ny Vogn, og Uzza og Ajo kørte Vognen.
And they put the ark of God on a new cart, and took it out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio were the drivers of the cart.
8 David og hele Israel legede af alle Kræfter for Guds Aasyn til Sang og til Citre, Harper, Pauker, Cymbler og Trompeter.
Then David and all Israel made melody before God with all their strength, with songs and corded instruments of music, and with brass instruments and horns.
9 Men da de kom til Kidons Tærskeplads, rakte Uzza Haanden ud for at gribe fat i Arken, fordi Okserne snublede.
And when they came to the grain-floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to keep the ark in its place, for the oxen were slipping.
10 Da blussede HERRENS Vrede op mod Uzza, og han slog ham, fordi han rakte Haanden ud mod Arken, og han døde paa Stedet for Guds Aasyn.
And the wrath of the Lord, burning against Uzza, sent destruction on him because he had put his hand on the ark, and death came to him there before God.
11 Men David græmmede sig over, at HERREN havde tilføjet Uzza et Brud. Derfor kaldte man Stedet Perez-Uzza, som det hedder den Dag i Dag.
And David was angry because of the Lord's outburst of wrath against Uzza, and he gave that place the name Perez-uzza, to this day.
12 Og David grebes den Dag af Frygt for Gud og sagde: »Hvor kan jeg da lade Guds Ark komme hen hos mig!«
And so great was David's fear of God that day, that he said, How may I let the ark of God come to me?
13 Og David flyttede ikke Arken hen hos sig i Davidsbyen, men lod den sætte ind i Gatiten Obed-Edoms Hus.
So David did not let the ark come back to him to the town of David, but had it turned away and put into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
14 Guds Ark blev saa i Obed-Edoms Hus tre Maaneder, og HERREN velsignede Obed-Edoms Hus og alt, hvad hans var.
And the ark of God was in the house of Obed-edom for three months; and the Lord sent a blessing on the house of Obed-edom and on all he had.
