1 Chronicles 13
1 And David consulted with the officers of the thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
Efter at have rådført sig med Tusindførerne og Hundredeførerne, alle Øversterne,
2 And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, if it seem good unto you, and if it be of the Lord our God, let us send widely about unto our brethren who are left in all the lands of Israel, and with them unto the priests and Levites who are in their cities and open districts, that they may gather themselves together unto us.
sagde David til hele Israels Forsamling: "Hvis det tykkes eder godt, og det er HERREN vor Guds Vilje, lad os så sende Bud til vore Brødre, der er tilbage i alle Israels Landsdele, og ligeledes til Præsterne og Leviterne i Byerne, hvor de har deres Græsmarker, at de skal samles hos os,
3 And let us bring round the ark of our God to us; for we have inquired not at it in the days of Saul.
for at vi kan bringe vor Guds Ark tilbage til os, thi i Sauls Dage spurgte vi ikke om den."
4 And all the congregation said that this should be done; for the king was right in the eyes of all the people.
Og hele Forsamlingen svarede, at det skulde man gøre, thi alt Folket fandt Forslaget rigtigt.
5 So David assembled all Israel together, from Shichor of Egypt even unto the entrance of Chemath, to bring the ark of God from Kiryath-ye'arim.
Så samlede David bele Israel lige fra Sjihor i Ægypten til Egnen ved Hamat for at hente Guds Ark i Kirjat-Jearim.
6 And David went up, with all Israel, to Ba'alah, [that is] to Kiryath-ye'arim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the Lord, that dwelleth between the cherubim, whose name is called [on it].
Derpå drog David og hele tsrael op til Ba'ala, til Kirjat-Jearim i Juda for der at hente Gud HERRENs Ark, over hvilken hans Navn er nævnet, han, som troner over Keruberne.
7 And they conveyed the ark of God in a new wagon out of the house of Abinadab: and 'Uzza and Achyo guided the wagon.
De førte da Guds Ark bort fra Abinadabs Hus på en ny Vogn, og Uzza og Ajo kørte Vognen.
8 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and on harps, and on psalteries, and on tambourines, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
David og hele Israel legede af alle Kræfter for Guds Åsyn til Sang og til Citre, Harper, Pauker, Cymbler og Trompeter.
9 And when they came as far as the threshing-floor of Kidon, 'Uzza put forth his hand to take hold of the ark; for the oxen shook it.
Men da de kom til Kidons Tærskeplads, rakte Uzza Hånden ud for at gribe fat i Arken, fordi Okserne snublede.
10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against 'Uzza, and he smote him, because he had put forth his hand toward the ark: and he died there before God.
Da blussede HERRENs Vrede op mod Uzza, og han slog ham, fordi han rakte Hånden ud mod Arken, og han døde på Stedet for Guds Åsyn.
11 And it was grievious to David, because the Lord had suddenly taken away 'Uzza; and he called that place Perez-'uzza [[Breach of 'Uzza]] until this day.
Men David græmmede sig over, at HERREN havde tilføjet Uzza et Brud. Derfor kaldte man Stedet Perez-Uzza, som det hedder den Dag i Dag.
12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring home to me the ark of God?
Og David grebes den Dag af Frygt for Gud og sagde: "Hvor kan jeg da lade Guds Ark komme hen hos mig!"
13 So David removed not the ark unto himself into the city of David, but had it carried round into the house of 'Obed-edom the Gittite.
Og David flyttede ikke Arken hen hos sig i Davidsbyen, men lod den sætte ind i Gatiten Obed-Edoms Hus.
14 And the ark of God remained in the house of 'Obed-edom, in his house, three months. And the Lord blessed the house of 'Obed-edom, and all that belonged to him.
Guds Ark blev så i Obed-Edoms Hus tre Måneder, og HERREN velsignede Obed-Edoms Hus og alt, hvad hans var.
