1 Chronicles 13
1 Then David had discussions with the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds and with every chief.
Entonces David tomó consejo con los capitanes de los millares y de los cientos, y con todos los príncipes.
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;
Y dijo David a toda la congregación de Israel: Si os parece bien, y de Jehová nuestro Dios, enviaremos a todas partes a nuestros hermanos que han quedado en todas las tierras de Israel, y con ellos a los sacerdotes y Levitas en sus ciudades y ejidos, que se junten con nosotros.
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.
Y traigamos el arca de nuestro Dios a nosotros; porque desde el tiempo de Saul no la hemos buscado.
4 And all the people said they would do so, for it seemed right to them.
Y dijeron toda la congregación, que se hiciese así: porque la cosa parecía bien a todo el pueblo.
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.
Entonces David juntó a todo Israel, desde Sihor de Egipto hasta entrar en Emat, para que trajesen el arca de Dios de Cariat-jarim.
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.
Y subió David, y todo Israel a Baalata de Cariat-jarim, que es en Judá, para pasar de allí el arca de Jehová Dios que habita entre los querubines, sobre la cual su nombre es invocado.
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.
Y llevaron el arca de Dios sobre un carro nuevo de la casa de Abinadab: y Oza y su hermano guiaban el 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.
Y David, y todo Israel hacían alegrías delante de Dios con todas sus fuerzas, con canciones, arpas, salterios, tamborinos, címbalos, y trompetas.
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.
Y como llegaron a la era de Quidón, Oza extendió su mano al arca, para tenerla; porque los bueyes se apartaban.
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.
Y el furor de Jehová se encendió contra Oza, e hirióle, porque había extendido su mano al arca: y murió allí delante de Dios.
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.
Y David tuvo pesar, porque Jehová había hecho rotura en Oza: y llamó a aquel lugar Perez-oza hasta hoy.
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?
Y David temió a Dios aquel día, y dijo: ¿Cómo meteré yo conmigo el arca de Dios?
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.
Y no trajo David a su casa el arca en la ciudad de David, sino llevóla a casa de Obed-edom Geteo.
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.
Y el arca de Dios estuvo en casa de Obed-edom, en su casa, tres meses: y bendijo Jehová la casa de Obed-edom, y todas las cosas que tenía.
