1 Chronicles 13
1 And David consulted with the officers of the thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
E teve David conselho com os capitães dos milhares, e dos centos, e com todos os príncipes.
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.
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 eles nas cidades e nos seus arrabaldes, para que se ajuntem conosco.
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.
E tornemos a trazer para nós a arca do nosso Deus; porque não a buscamos nos dias de Saul.
4 And all the congregation said that this should be done; for the king was right in the eyes of all the people.
Então disse toda a congregação que assim se fizesse; porque este negócio pareceu reto aos olhos de todo o povo.
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.
Ajuntou pois David a todo o Israel desde Sihor do Egito até chegar a Hamath; para trazer a arca de Deus de Kiriath-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].
E então David com todo o Israel subiu a Baala e dali a Kiriath-jearim, que está em Judá, para fazer subir dali a arca de Deus, o Senhor que habita entre os cherubins, sobre a qual é invocado o seu nome.
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.
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 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.
E David, e todo o Israel, tocava perante Deus com toda a sua força; em cânticos, e com harpas, e com alaúdes, e com tamboris, e com címbalos, e com trombetas.
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.
E, chegando à eira de Chidon, estendeu Uza a sua mão, para ter mão na arca; porque os bois tropeçavam.
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.
Então se acendeu a ira do Senhor contra Uza, e o feriu, por ter estendido a sua mão à arca: e morreu ali perante Deus.
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.
E David se encheu de tristeza de que o Senhor houvesse aberto brecha em Uza; pelo que chamou àquele lugar Perez-uza, até ao dia de hoje.
12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring home to me the ark of God?
E aquele dia temeu David ao Senhor, dizendo: Como trarei a mim a arca de Deus?
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.
Pelo que David não trouxe a arca a si, à cidade de David; porém a fez retirar à casa de Obed-edom, o getheu.
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.
Assim ficou a arca de Deus com a família de Obed-edom, três meses em sua casa: e o Senhor abençoou a casa de Obed-edom, e tudo quanto tinha.
