1 Chronicles 13
1 And David consulted with the rulers of thousands and hundreds, even with every chief ruler.
Efter at have raadført sig med Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne, alle Øversterne,
2 And David said to all the convocation of Israel, If, unto you, it seemeth to be good, and from Yahweh our God, we will urgently send unto our brethren who remain in all the lands of Israel, and, with them, the priests and the Levites in their pasture-land cities, —that they may gather together unto us;
sagde David til hele Israels Forsamling: »Hvis det tykkes eder godt, og det er HERREN vor Guds Vilje, lad os saa 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, unto us, —For they sought it not, 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 Than said all the convocation, that it should be done thus, —for right was the thing, 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 convoked all Israel, from Shihor of Egypt, even unto the entering in of Hamath, —to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
Saa samlede David hele Israel lige fra Sjihor i Ægypten til Egnen ved Hamat for at hente Guds Ark i Kirjat-Jearim.
6 And David went up and all Israel to Baalah, unto Kiriath-jearim, which pertaineth to Judah, —to bring up from thence, the ark of God—Yahweh who inhabiteth the cherubim, on which is called the Name.
Derpaa drog David og hele Israel 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 carried the ark of God, upon a new waggon, out of the house of Aminadab, —and, Uzza and Ahio, were driving the waggon.
De førte da Guds Ark bort fra Abinadabs Hus paa en ny Vogn, og Uzza og Ajo kørte Vognen.
8 And, David and all Israel, were dancing for joy before God, with all boldness, and with songs and with lyres, and with harps and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
David og hele Israel legede af alle Kræfter for Guds Aasyn til Sang og til Citre, Harper, Pauker, Cymbler og Trompeter.
9 And, when they came as far as the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza thrust forth his hand, to seize the ark, for the oxen were restive.
Men da de kom til Kidons Tærskeplads, rakte Uzza Haanden ud for at gribe fat i Arken, fordi Okserne snublede.
10 Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh against Uzza, and he smote him, because he thrust forth his hand unto the ark, —and he died there, before God.
Da blussede HERRENS Vrede op mod Uzza, og han slog ham, fordi han rakte Haanden ud mod Arken, og han døde paa Stedet for Guds Aasyn.
11 And it was a sadness unto David, that Yahweh had broken in with a breach against Uzza, —and he called that place Perez-uzza, [as it is called] unto 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, on that day, saying, —How can I bring unto 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 him, into the city of David, —but took it aside 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 with the household of Obed-edom, in his house, three months, —and Yahweh blessed the household of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
Guds Ark blev saa i Obed-Edoms Hus tre Maaneder, og HERREN velsignede Obed-Edoms Hus og alt, hvad hans var.
