1 Chronicles 13
1 Then David had discussions with the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds and with every chief.
Og David holdt et Raad med Høvedsmændene over tusinde og over hundrede og med alle Fyrsterne.
2 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;
Og David sagde til hele Israels Forsamling: Dersom det synes godt for eder, og det er fra Herren, vor Gud, saa lader os hastelig sende Bud til dem af vore Brødre, som ere blevne tilbage i alle Israels Lande, og ligervis til Præsterne og Leviterne i Stæderne paa deres Marker, at de kunne forsamle sig med os.
3 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.
Og lader os flytte vor Guds Ark over til os; thi vi søgte den ikke i Sauls Dage.
4 And all the people said they would do so, for it seemed right to them.
Da sagde den hele Forsamling, at man skulde gøre saa; thi den Ting syntes at være ret for hele Folkets Øjne.
5 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.
Saa samlede David hele Israel fra Ægyptens Sihor og til Hamath for at føre Guds Ark fra Kirjath-Jearim.
6 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.
Og David og hele Israel drog op til Baalath, til Kirjath-Jearim, som hører til Juda, for at hente Gud Herrens Ark op derfra, hans, som sidder paa Keruber, og hvis Navn paakaldes.
7 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.
Og de førte Guds Ark paa en ny Vogn fra Abinadabs Hus, og Ussa og Ahio førte Vognen.
8 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.
Og David og hele Israel legede for Guds Ansigt af al Magt baade med Sange og med Harper og med Psaltre og med Trommer og med Cymbler og med Basuner.
9 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.
Og der de kom til Kidons Lade, da udrakte Ussa sin Haand for at gribe fat paa Arken, thi Øksnene vege ud af Sporet.
10 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.
Da optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Ussa, og han slog ham, fordi han udrakte sin Haand til Arken, og han døde der for Guds Ansigt.
11 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.
Da blev David ilde tilfreds, fordi Herren havde gjort et Skaar paa Ussa, og han kaldte det samme Sted Perez-Ussa indtil denne Dag.
12 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?
Og David frygtede for Gud paa den samme Dag og sagde: Hvorledes skal jeg lade Guds Ark komme til mig?
13 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.
Og David vilde ikke føre Arken til sig i Davids Stad; men han lod den føre hen til Githiten Obed-Edoms Hus.
14 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.
Og Guds Ark blev ved Obed-Edoms Hus, i hans Hus, i tre Maaneder, og Herren velsignede Obed-Edoms Hus og alt det, han havde.
