1 Chronicles 13
1 And David consulted with the rulers of thousands and hundreds, even with every chief ruler.
E teve David conselho com os capitães dos milhares, e dos centos, e com todos os príncipes.
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;
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, unto us, —For they sought it not, 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 Than said all the convocation, that it should be done thus, —for right was the thing, 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 convoked all Israel, from Shihor of Egypt, even unto the entering in of Hamath, —to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
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 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.
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 carried the ark of God, upon a new waggon, out of the house of Aminadab, —and, Uzza and Ahio, were driving the waggon.
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, 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.
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 Chidon, Uzza thrust forth his hand, to seize the ark, for the oxen were restive.
E, chegando à eira de Chidon, estendeu Uza a sua mão, para ter mão na arca; porque os bois tropeçavam.
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.
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 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.
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, on that day, saying, —How can I bring unto 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 him, into the city of David, —but took it aside 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 with the household of Obed-edom, in his house, three months, —and Yahweh blessed the household of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
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.
