1 Chronicles 13
1 [One day] David talked with all his army officers. Some of them were commanders of 100 soldiers and some were commanders of 1,000 soldiers.
Тогава Давид се съветва с хилядниците, стотниците и всичките началници;
2 Then he summoned the other Israeli leaders and said to all of them, “If it seems to you to be a good thing for us to do, and if it is what Yahweh our God wants, let’s send a message to our fellow Israelis in all the areas of our country, including the priests and [other] descendants of Levi who are living among them in their towns and in the nearby pasturelands, to come and join us,
и Давид каза на цялото Израилево общество: Ако ви е угодно и ако е от Господа нашия Бог, нека пратим навсякъде до братята си, останали по цялата Израилева земя, и освен тях, и до свещениците и левитите, които са в градовете им и околностите, за да се съберат при нас;
3 because we want to bring the Sacred Chest of our God back to us. While Saul [was the king], we did not go to God’s presence to ask him what we should do.”
и нека донесем при нас ковчега на нашия Бог, защото не го потърсихме в Сауловите дни.
4 All the people agreed with David, because they all thought that it was the right thing to do.
И целият събор каза, че ще направят така, защото това се видя право на всичките люде.
5 So David gathered all the Israeli people, from the Shihor [River] in Egypt to Lebo-Hamath [town in the north, and told them that he wanted them] to [help] bring the Sacred Chest of God [back to Jerusalem] from Kiriath-Jearim [city].
Тогава Давид събра целия Израил от египетския поток Сихор дори до прохода на Емат, за да донесат Божия ковчег от Кириатиарим.
6 David went with all the Israeli people to Baalah [town], which is [another name for] Kiriath-Jearim, to get the Sacred Chest. [The people believed that] God ruled from between the statues of winged creatures that was above the lid of the Sacred Chest [MTY].
И Давид отиде с целия Израил във Ваала, то ест, в Юдов Кириатиарим, за да дигне от там Божия ковчег, който се нарича с името на Господа, Който обитава между херувимите.
7 The people put the Sacred Chest on a new cart and transported it from Abinadab’s house. Uzzah and Ahio were guiding [the oxen that were pulling the cart].
И като изнесоха Божия ковчег от Авинадавовата къща, туриха го на нова кола; и Оза и Ахио караха колата.
8 David and all the Israeli people were celebrating in God’s presence with all their strength. They were singing and [playing] lyres, harps, tambourines, and cymbals, and [blowing] trumpets.
И Давид и целият Израил играеха пред Господа с всичката си сила, с песни, с арфи, с псалтири, с тъпанчета, с кимвали и с тръби.
9 But when David’s men came to the place where Kidon threshed grain, the oxen stumbled. So Uzzah reached out with his hand to prevent the Sacred Chest from falling off the cart.
А когато стигнаха до Хидоновото гумно, Оза простря ръката си та хвана ковчега, защото воловете го раздрусаха.
10 Yahweh immediately became very angry with Uzzah, and he caused Uzzah to suddenly die there because he had put his hand on the Sacred Chest, [and Yahweh had commanded that only the descendants of Levi who help the priests should touch the Sacred Chest].
И гневът на Господа пламна против Оза и го порази за гдето простря ръката си на ковчега; и умря там пред Бога.
11 David was angry because Yahweh had punished [MTY] Uzzah. And now that place [where Uzzah died] is called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
И Давид се наскърби за гдето Господ нанесе поражение на Оза; и нарече онова място Фарез-оза както се казва и до днес.
12 That day, David was afraid of God. He asked [himself], “(How can I bring God’s Sacred Chest to my [city]?/I am afraid to bring God’s Sacred Chest to my [city].)” [RHQ]
И в оня ден Давид се уплаши от Бога, и каза: Как ще донеса при себе си Божия ковчег?
13 So the men with David did not take the Sacred Chest to Jerusalem. Instead, they took it to the house of Obed-Edom, who was from Gath [city].
Затова Давид не премести при себе си ковчега в Давидовия град, но го отпрати в къщата на гетеца Овид-едома.
14 The Sacred Chest stayed with Obed-Edom’s family in his house for three months. And [during that time] Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom’s family and everything that he owned.
И Божият ковчег престоя със семейството на Овид-едома в къщата му три месеца; и Господ благослови дома на Овид-едома и всичко що имаше.
