1 Chronicles 13
1 And David consults with the heads of the thousands and of the hundreds, [and] with every leader,
Efter at have rådført sig med Tusindførerne og Hundredeførerne, alle Øversterne,
2 and David says to all the assembly of Israel, “If it is good to you, and it has broken forth from our God YHWH—we send to our brothers, those left in all the lands of Israel, and the priests and the Levites with them in the cities of their outskirts, and they are gathered to 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 we bring around the Ark of our God to us, for we did not seek Him 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 assembly says to do so, for the thing is right in the eyes of all the people.
Og hele Forsamlingen svarede, at det skulde man gøre, thi alt Folket fandt Forslaget rigtigt.
5 And David assembles all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even to the entering in of Hamath, to bring in the Ark of God from Kirjath-Jearim,
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 goes up, and all Israel, to Ba‘alah, to Kirjath-Jearim that [belongs] to Judah, to bring up from there the Ark of God, YHWH, inhabiting the cherubim, where the Name is called on.
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 place the Ark of God on a new cart from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio are leading the cart,
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 are playing before God, with all strength, and with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, 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 they come to the threshing-floor of Chidon, and Uzza puts forth his hand to seize the Ark, for the oxen were released,
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 YHWH is kindled against Uzza, and He strikes him, because that he has put forth his hand on the Ark, and he dies 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 is displeasing to David, because YHWH has made a breach on Uzza, and one calls that place “Breach of Uzza” to 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 fears God on that day, saying, “How do I bring the Ark of God to me?”
Og David grebes den Dag af Frygt for Gud og sagde: "Hvor kan jeg da lade Guds Ark komme hen hos mig!"
13 And David has not turned aside the Ark to himself, to the City of David, and turns it aside to 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 dwells with the household of Obed-Edom, in his house, three months, and YHWH blesses the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he has.
Guds Ark blev så i Obed-Edoms Hus tre Måneder, og HERREN velsignede Obed-Edoms Hus og alt, hvad hans var.
