Chronicles I 13
1 And David took counsel with the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, [even with] every commander.
E teve David conselho com os capitães dos milhares, e dos centos, e com todos os principes.
2 And David said to the whole congregation of Israel, If it [seem] good to you, and it should be prospered by the Lord our God, let us send to our brethren that are left in all the land of Israel, and let the priests the Levites who are with them in the cities of their possession [come], and let them be gathered 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 bring over to us the ark of our God; for men have not enquired [at] it since the days of Saul.
E tornemos a trazer para nós a arca do nosso Deus; porque não a buscámos nos dias de Saul.
4 And all the congregation said that they would do thus; for the saying was right in the eyes of all the people.
Então disse toda a congregação que assim se fizesse; porque este negocio pareceu recto aos olhos de todo o povo.
5 So David assembled all Israel, from the borders of Egypt even to the entering in of Hemath, to bring in the ark of God from the city of Jarim.
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 brought it up: and all Israel went up to the city of David, which belonged to Juda, to bring up thence the ark of the Lord God who sits between the cherubim, whose name is called [on it].
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 set the ark of God on a new waggon [brought] out of the house of Aminadab: and Oza and his brethren drove the waggon.
E levaram a arca de Deus sobre um carro novo, da casa de Abinadab: e Uza e Ahio guiavam o carro.
8 And David and all Israel [were] playing before the Lord with all their might, and [that] together with singers, and with harps, and with lutes, with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
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 they came as far as the threshing floor: and Oza put forth his hand to hold the ark, because the bullock moved it from [its place].
E, chegando á eira de Chidon, estendeu Uza a sua mão, para ter mão na arca; porque os bois tropeçavam.
10 And the Lord was very angry with Oza, and struck him there, because of his stretching forth his hand upon the ark: and he died 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 dispirited, because the Lord [had] made a breach on Oza: and he called that place the Breach of Oza until 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 David feared God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God in to myself?
E aquelle dia temeu David ao Senhor, dizendo: Como trarei a mim a arca de Deus?
13 So David brought not the ark home to himself into the city of David, but he turned it aside into the house of Abeddara the Gethite.
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 abode in the house of Abeddara three months: and God blessed Abeddara and all that 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.
