1 Chronicles 13

1 David had discussions with all his leaders, including the army commanders of thousands and hundreds.

iniit autem consilium David cum tribunis et centurionibus et universis principibus

2 Then he addressed the whole assembly of Israel, saying, “If you agree, and if God approves, let us send an invitation to every Israelite in the land, including the priests and Levites in their towns and pastures, to come and join us.

et ait ad omnem coetum Israhel si placet vobis et a Domino Deo nostro egreditur sermo quem loquor mittamus ad fratres nostros reliquos in universas regiones Israhel et ad sacerdotes et Levitas qui habitant in suburbanis urbium ut congregentur ad nos

3 Let us bring the Ark of our God back to us, because we forgot about it during the time of Saul.”

et reducamus arcam Dei nostri ad nos non enim requisivimus eam in diebus Saul

4 The whole assembly was pleased with the proposal, agreeing that this would be a good thing to do.

et respondit universa multitudo ut ita fieret placuerat enim sermo omni populo

5 So David summoned all of Israel, from the Shihor River of Egypt up to Lebo-hamath, to help bring the Ark from Kiriath-jearim.

congregavit ergo David cunctum Israhel a Sior Aegypti usque dum ingrediaris Emath ut adduceret arcam Dei de Cariathiarim

6 So David and all of Israel went to Baalah (otherwise called Kiriath-jearim) in Judah to bring back the Ark of God the Lord, whose throne is between the cherubim and who is called by the Name.

et ascendit David et omnis vir Israhel ad collem Cariathiarim quae est in Iuda ut adferrent inde arcam Dei Domini sedentis super cherubin ubi invocatum est nomen eius

7 They loaded the Ark of God onto a brand new cart and brought it from Adinadab's house, with Uzzah and Ahio directing it.

inposueruntque arcam Dei super plaustrum novum de domo Aminadab Oza autem et fratres eius minabant plaustrum

8 David and all of Israel were celebrating before the Lord as loudly as possible, singing sings and playing music on lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.

porro David et universus Israhel ludebant coram Deo omni virtute in canticis et in citharis et psalteriis et tympanis et cymbalis et tubis

9 But when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, the oxen stumbled and Uzzah stretched out his hand to stop the Ark falling.

cum autem pervenissent ad aream Chidon tetendit Oza manum suam ut sustentaret arcam bos quippe lasciviens paululum inclinaverat eam

10 The Lord was angry with Uzzah for daring to touch the Ark like this so he struck him down, and Uzzah died there before the Lord.

iratus est itaque Dominus contra Ozam et percussit eum eo quod contigisset arcam et mortuus est ibi coram Deo

11 David became angry with the Lord for his violent outburst against Uzzah. He named the place Perez-uzzah, and it is still called that today.

contristatusque David eo quod divisisset Dominus Ozam vocavit locum illum Divisio Oza usque in praesentem diem

12 David became afraid of God that day. “How can I ever bring back the Ark of God home to me?” he asked.

et timuit Deum tunc temporis dicens quomodo possum ad me introducere arcam Dei

13 So David did not move the Ark of God to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he had it taken to the home of Obed-edom the Gittite.

et ob hanc causam non eam adduxit ad se hoc est in civitatem David sed avertit in domum Obededom Getthei

14 The Ark of God remained in Obed-edom's home for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom's household and all that he had.

mansit ergo arca Dei in domo Obededom tribus mensibus et benedixit Dominus domui eius et omnibus quae habebat
