< 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.
David se je posvetoval s poveljniki nad tisočimi in nad stotimi in z vsakim voditeljem.
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,
David je vsej Izraelovi skupnosti rekel: »Če se vam to zdi dobro in je to od Gospoda, našega Boga, pošljimo vsem našim bratom naokoli, ki so ostali v vsej Izraelovi deželi in z njimi tudi duhovnikom in Lévijevcem, ki so v njihovih mestih in predmestjih, da se bodo lahko zbrali k nam,
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.”
in ponovno privedimo k sebi skrinjo našega Boga, kajti v Savlovih dneh nismo povpraševali po njej.«
4 All the people agreed with David, because they all thought that it was the right thing to do.
Vsa skupnost je rekla, da bodo tako storili, kajti stvar je bila pravilna v očeh vsega ljudstva.
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].
Tako je David zbral skupaj ves Izrael, od egiptovskega Šihórja, celo do vstopa v Hamát, da Božjo skrinjo privede iz Kirját Jearíma.
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].
David se je dvignil in ves Izrael v Baálo, to je v Kirját Jearím, ki pripada Judu, da od tam privede Božjo skrinjo Gospoda, ki prebiva med kerubi, katerega ime je imenovano na njej.
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].
Božjo skrinjo so odpeljali na novem vozu iz Abinadábove hiše. Uzá in Ahjó pa sta gnala voz.
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.
David in ves Izrael so igrali pred Bogom z vso svojo močjo, s petjem, harfami, plunkami, tamburini, cimbalami in trobentami.
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.
Ko so prišli na Kidónovo mlatišče, je Uzá iztegnil svojo roko, da pridrži skrinjo, kajti voli so se spotaknili.
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].
Gospodova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Uzá in ga je udaril, ker je svojo roko položil k skrinji in tam je umrl pred Bogom.
11 David was angry because Yahweh had punished [MTY] Uzzah. And now that place [where Uzzah died] is called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
David je bil razžaljen, ker je Gospod naredil vrzel nad Uzájem, zato je ta kraj do tega dne imenovan Perec Uzá.
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]
David se je tisti dan bal Boga, rekoč: »Kako naj Božjo skrinjo pripeljem k sebi domov?«
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].
Tako David skrinje ni pripeljal k sebi domov, v Davidovo mesto, temveč jo je odnesel stran, v hišo Gitéjca Obéd Edóma.
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.
Božja skrinja je ostala tri mesece z družino Obéd Edóma v njegovi hiši. Gospod je blagoslovil hišo Obéd Edóma in vse, kar je ta imel.
