1 Chronicles 13
1 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.
| וַיִּוָּעַ֣ץ דָּוִ֗יד עִם־שָׂרֵ֧י הָאֲלָפִ֛ים וְהַמֵּאֹ֖ות לְכָל־נָגִֽיד׃ |
2 And David said to all the assembly of Israel, If it seems good to you, and if it be of Jehovah our God, let us send abroad everywhere to our brothers who are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, that they may gather themselves to us.
| וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָּוִ֜יד לְכֹ֣ל ׀ קְהַ֣ל יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל אִם־עֲלֵיכֶ֨ם טֹ֜וב וּמִן־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ נִפְרְצָה֙ נִשְׁלְחָ֞ה עַל־אַחֵ֣ינוּ הַנִּשְׁאָרִ֗ים בְּכֹל֙ אַרְצֹ֣ות יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְעִמָּהֶ֛ם הַכֹּהֲנִ֥ים וְהַלְוִיִּ֖ם בְּעָרֵ֣י מִגְרְשֵׁיהֶ֑ם וְיִקָּבְצ֖וּ אֵלֵֽינוּ׃ |
3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us, for we did not inquire from it in the days of Saul.
| וְנָסֵ֛בָּה אֶת־אֲרֹ֥ון אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ אֵלֵ֑ינוּ כִּי־לֹ֥א דְרַשְׁנֻ֖הוּ בִּימֵ֥י שָׁאֽוּל׃ |
4 And all the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
| וַיֹּאמְר֥וּ כָֽל־הַקָּהָ֖ל לַעֲשֹׂ֣ות כֵּ֑ן כִּֽי־יָשַׁ֥ר הַדָּבָ֖ר בְּעֵינֵ֥י כָל־הָעָֽם׃ |
5 So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor the brook of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
| וַיַּקְהֵ֤ל דָּוִיד֙ אֶת־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מִן־שִׁיחֹ֥ור מִצְרַ֖יִם וְעַד־לְבֹ֣וא חֲמָ֑ת לְהָבִיא֙ אֶת־אֲרֹ֣ון הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים מִקִּרְיַ֖ת יְעָרִֽים׃ |
6 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is to Kiriath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, Jehovah who sits above the cherubim that is called by the Name.
| וַיַּ֨עַל דָּוִ֤יד וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ בַּעֲלָ֔תָה אֶל־קִרְיַ֥ת יְעָרִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר לִיהוּדָ֑ה לְהַעֲלֹ֣ות מִשָּׁ֗ם אֵת֩ אֲרֹ֨ון הָאֱלֹהִ֧ים ׀ יְהוָ֛ה יֹושֵׁ֥ב הַכְּרוּבִ֖ים אֲשֶׁר־נִקְרָ֥א שֵֽׁם׃ |
7 And they carried the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab. And Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
| וַיַּרְכִּ֜יבוּ אֶת־אֲרֹ֤ון הָאֱלֹהִים֙ עַל־עֲגָלָ֣ה חֲדָשָׁ֔ה מִבֵּ֖ית אֲבִינָדָ֑ב וְעֻזָּ֣א וְאַחְיֹ֔ו נֹהֲגִ֖ים בָּעֲגָלָֽה׃ |
8 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
| וְדָוִ֣יד וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל מְשַׂחֲקִ֛ים לִפְנֵ֥י הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים בְּכָל־עֹ֑ז וּבְשִׁירִ֤ים וּבְכִנֹּרֹות֙ וּבִנְבָלִ֣ים וּבְתֻפִּ֔ים וּבִמְצִלְתַּ֖יִם וּבַחֲצֹצְרֹֽות׃ |
9 And when they came to the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled.
| וַיָּבֹ֖אוּ עַד־גֹּ֣רֶן כִּידֹ֑ן וַיִּשְׁלַ֨ח עֻזָּ֜א אֶת־יָדֹ֗ו לֶאֱחֹז֙ אֶת־הָ֣אָרֹ֔ון כִּ֥י שָֽׁמְט֖וּ הַבָּקָֽר׃ |
10 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him because he put forth his hand to the ark. And there he died before God.
| וַיִּֽחַר־אַ֤ף יְהוָה֙ בְּעֻזָּ֔א וַיַּכֵּ֕הוּ עַ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־שָׁלַ֥ח יָדֹ֖ו עַל־הָאָרֹ֑ון וַיָּ֥מָת שָׁ֖ם לִפְנֵ֥י אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
11 And David was displeased, because Jehovah had broken forth upon Uzza. And he called that place Perez-uzza, to this day.
| וַיִּ֣חַר לְדָוִ֔יד כִּֽי־פָרַ֧ץ יְהוָ֛ה פֶּ֖רֶץ בְּעֻזָּ֑א וַיִּקְרָ֞א לַמָּקֹ֤ום הַהוּא֙ פֶּ֣רֶץ עֻזָּ֔א עַ֖ד הַיֹּ֥ום הַזֶּֽה׃ |
12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?
| וַיִּירָ֤א דָוִיד֙ אֶת־הָ֣אֱלֹהִ֔ים בַּיֹּ֥ום הַה֖וּא לֵאמֹ֑ר הֵ֚יךְ אָבִ֣יא אֵלַ֔י אֵ֖ת אֲרֹ֥ון הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
13 So David did not move the ark to him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
| וְלֹֽא־הֵסִ֨יר דָּוִ֧יד אֶת־הָאָרֹ֛ון אֵלָ֖יו אֶל־עִ֣יר דָּוִ֑יד וַיַּטֵּ֕הוּ אֶל־בֵּ֥ית עֹבֵֽד־אֱדֹ֖ם הַגִּתִּֽי׃ |
14 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.
| וַיֵּשֶׁב֩ אֲרֹ֨ון הָאֱלֹהִ֜ים עִם־בֵּ֨ית עֹבֵ֥ד אֱדֹ֛ם בְּבֵיתֹ֖ו שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה חֳדָשִׁ֑ים וַיְבָ֧רֶךְ יְהוָ֛ה אֶת־בֵּ֥ית עֹבֵֽד־אֱדֹ֖ם וְאֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לֹֽו׃ פ |
