1 Chronicles 13
1 Then David had discussions with the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds and with every chief.
E teve David conselho com os capitães dos milhares, e dos centos, e com todos os principes.
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;
E disse David a toda a congregação de Israel: Se bem vos parece, e que vem do Senhor nosso Deus, enviemos depressa mensageiros a todos os nossos outros irmãos em todas as terras de Israel, e aos sacerdotes, e aos levitas com elles nas cidades e nos seus arrabaldes, para que se ajuntem comnosco.
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.
E tornemos a trazer para nós a arca do nosso Deus; porque não a buscámos nos dias de Saul.
4 And all the people said they would do so, for it seemed right to them.
Então disse toda a congregação que assim se fizesse; porque este negocio pareceu recto aos olhos de todo o povo.
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.
Ajuntou pois David a todo o Israel desde Sihor do Egypto até chegar a Hamath; para trazer a arca de Deus de Kiriath-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.
E então David com todo o Israel subiu a Baala e d'ali a Kiriath-jearim, que está em Judah, para fazer subir d'ali a arca de Deus, o Senhor que habita entre os cherubins, sobre a qual é invocado o seu nome.
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.
E levaram a arca de Deus sobre um carro novo, da casa de Abinadab: e Uza e Ahio guiavam o carro.
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.
E David, e todo o Israel, tocava perante Deus com toda a sua força; em canticos, e com harpas, e com alaudes, e com tamboris, e com cymbalos, e com trombetas.
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.
E, chegando á eira de Chidon, estendeu Uza a sua mão, para ter mão na arca; porque os bois tropeçavam.
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.
Então se accendeu a ira do Senhor contra Uza, e o feriu, por ter estendido a sua mão á arca: e morreu ali perante Deus.
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.
E David se encheu de tristeza de que o Senhor houvesse aberto brecha em Uza; pelo que chamou áquelle logar Perez-uza, até ao dia d'hoje.
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?
E aquelle dia temeu David ao Senhor, dizendo: Como trarei a mim a arca de Deus?
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.
Pelo que David não trouxe a arca a si, á cidade de David; porém a fez retirar á casa de Obed-edom, o getheo.
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.
Assim ficou a arca de Deus com a familia de Obed-edom, tres mezes em sua casa: e o Senhor abençoou a casa de Obed-edom, e tudo quanto tinha.
