Første Krønikebog 13
1 Efter at have raadført sig med Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne, alle Øversterne,
And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, with every prince.
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 congregation of Israel, If it seem good to you, and it be of Jehovah our God, let us send abroad to our brethren everywhere, that are left in all the lands of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves 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 bring again the ark of our God to us; for we inquired not of it in the days of Saul.
4 Og hele Forsamlingen svarede, at det skulde man gøre, thi alt Folket fandt Forslaget rigtigt.
And all the congregation said that they should do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
5 Saa samlede David hele Israel lige fra Sjihor i Ægypten til Egnen ved Hamat for at hente Guds Ark i Kirjat-Jearim.
And David assembled all Israel from the Shihor of Egypt unto the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-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, and all Israel, to Baalah, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, of Jehovah, who sitteth between the cherubim, whose name is placed [there].
7 De førte da Guds Ark bort fra Abinadabs Hus paa en ny Vogn, og Uzza og Ajo kørte Vognen.
And they carried the ark of God on a new cart out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
8 David og hele Israel legede af alle Kræfter for Guds Aasyn til Sang og til Citre, Harper, Pauker, Cymbler og Trompeter.
And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with lutes, and with tambours, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
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 threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen had stumbled.
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 anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he had put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died 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 indignant; for Jehovah had made a breach upon Uzza; and he called that place 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 David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God to me?
13 Og David flyttede ikke Arken hen hos sig i Davidsbyen, men lod den sætte ind i Gatiten Obed-Edoms Hus.
And David brought not the ark home unto himself into the city of David, but he carried it aside 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 remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months. And Jehovah blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he had.
