Første Krønikebog 13

1 Efter at have rådført sig med Tusindførerne og Hundredeførerne, alle Øversterne,

And Dauid counselled with the captaines of thousandes and of hundreths, and with all the gouernours.

2 sagde David til hele Israels Forsamling: "Hvis det tykkes eder godt, og det er HERREN vor Guds Vilje, lad os så 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 Dauid said to all the Congregation of Israel, If it seeme good to you, and that it proceedeth of the Lord our God, we will sende to and from vnto our brethren, that are left in all the lande of Israel (for with them are the Priests and the Leuites in the cities and their suburbes) that they may assemble them selues vnto vs.

3 for at vi kan bringe vor Guds Ark tilbage til os, thi i Sauls Dage spurgte vi ikke om den."

And we will bring againe the Arke of our God to vs: for we sought not vnto it in the dayes of Saul.

4 Og hele Forsamlingen svarede, at det skulde man gøre, thi alt Folket fandt Forslaget rigtigt.

And all the Congregation answered, Let vs doe so: for the thing seemed good in the eyes of all the people.

5 Så samlede David bele Israel lige fra Sjihor i Ægypten til Egnen ved Hamat for at hente Guds Ark i Kirjat-Jearim.

So Dauid gathered all Israel together from Shihor in Egypt, euen vnto the entring of Hamath, to bring the Arke of God from Kiriath-iearim.

6 Derpå drog David og hele tsrael 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 Dauid went vp and all Israel to Baalath, in Kiriath-iearim, that was in Iudah, to bring vp from thence the Arke of God the Lord that dwelleth betweene the Cherubims, where his Name is called on.

7 De førte da Guds Ark bort fra Abinadabs Hus på en ny Vogn, og Uzza og Ajo kørte Vognen.

And they caryed the Arke of God in a newe cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Vzza and Ahio guided the cart.

8 David og hele Israel legede af alle Kræfter for Guds Åsyn til Sang og til Citre, Harper, Pauker, Cymbler og Trompeter.

And Dauid and all Israel played before God with all their might, both with songes and with harpes, and with violes, and with timbrels and with cymbales and with trumpets.

9 Men da de kom til Kidons Tærskeplads, rakte Uzza Hånden ud for at gribe fat i Arken, fordi Okserne snublede.

And when they came vnto the thresshing floore of Chidon, Vzza put forth his hand to holde the Arke, for the oxen did shake it.

10 Da blussede HERRENs Vrede op mod Uzza, og han slog ham, fordi han rakte Hånden ud mod Arken, og han døde på Stedet for Guds Åsyn.

But the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Vzza, and he smote him, because he layed his hande vpon the Arke: so he dyed 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 Dauid was angrie, because the Lord had made a breach in Vzza, and he called the name of that place Perez-vzza vnto 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 Dauid feared God that day, saying, Howe shall I bring in to me the Arke of God?

13 Og David flyttede ikke Arken hen hos sig i Davidsbyen, men lod den sætte ind i Gatiten Obed-Edoms Hus.

Therefore Dauid brought not the Arke to him into the citie of Dauid, but caused it to turne into the house of Obed Edom the Gittite.

14 Guds Ark blev så i Obed-Edoms Hus tre Måneder, og HERREN velsignede Obed-Edoms Hus og alt, hvad hans var.

So the Arke of God remained in the house of Obed Edom, euen in his house three moneths: and the Lord blessed the house of Obed Edom, and all that he had.
