1 Chronicles 13
1 Then David had discussions with the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds and with every chief.
David consultou os capitães de milhares e de centenas, mesmo com todos os líderes.
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;
David disse a toda a assembléia de Israel: “Se vos parece bom, e se é de Javé nosso Deus, mandemos notícias por toda parte aos nossos irmãos que ficam em toda a terra de Israel, com quem os sacerdotes e levitas estão em suas cidades que têm terras de pasto, para que se reúnam a nós”.
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.
Também, vamos trazer a arca de nosso Deus de volta para nós, pois não a buscamos nos dias de Saul”.
4 And all the people said they would do so, for it seemed right to them.
Toda a assembléia disse que o fariam, pois a coisa estava certa 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.
Então David reuniu todo Israel, desde o rio Shihor do Egito até a entrada de 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.
David subiu com todo Israel para Baalah, ou seja, para Kiriath Jearim, que pertencia a Judah, para trazer de lá a arca de Deus Yahweh que está acima dos querubins, que é chamada pelo 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.
Eles carregaram a arca de Deus em um novo carrinho, e a trouxeram para fora da casa de Abinadab; e Uzza e Ahio dirigiram o carrinho.
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.
David e todo Israel tocaram diante de Deus com todas as suas forças, mesmo com canções, com harpas, com instrumentos de cordas, com pandeiros, com címbalos 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.
Quando chegaram à eira de Chidon, Uzza estendeu sua mão para segurar a arca, pois os bois tropeçaram.
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.
A raiva de Yahweh queimou contra Uzza, e ele o atingiu porque colocou sua mão sobre a arca; e ele morreu lá diante de 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.
David ficou descontente, porque Yahweh havia fugido contra Uzza. Ele chamou aquele lugar de Perez Uzza, até os dias de 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?
David tinha medo de Deus naquele dia, dizendo: “Como posso levar a arca de Deus para casa”?
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.
Então David não moveu a arca com ele para a cidade de David, mas a levou para a casa de Obed-Edom, o Gittita.
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.
A arca de Deus permaneceu com a família de Obed-Edom em sua casa três meses; e Yahweh abençoou a casa de Obed-Edom e tudo que ele tinha.
