1 Chronicles 13

1 And David consulteth with the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, every leader,

Iniit autem consilium David cum tribunis, et centurionibus, et universis principibus,

2 and David saith to all the assembly of Israel, 'If unto you it be good, and from Jehovah our God it hath broken forth — we send unto our brethren, those left in all the lands of Israel, and with them the priests and the Levites, in the cities of their suburbs, and they are gathered unto us,

et ait ad omnem cœtum Israël: Si placet vobis, et a Domino Deo nostro egreditur sermo quem loquor, mittamus ad fratres nostros reliquos in universas regiones Israël, et ad sacerdotes et Levitas qui habitant in suburbanis urbium, ut congregentur ad nos,

3 and we bring round the ark of our God unto us, for we sought Him not in the days of Saul.'

et reducamus arcam Dei nostri ad nos: non enim requisivimus eam in diebus Saul.

4 And all the assembly say to do so, for the thing is right in the eyes of all the people.

Et respondit universa multitudo ut ita fieret: placuerat enim sermo omni populo.

5 And David assembleth all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering in of Hamath, to bring in the ark of God from Kirjath-Jearim,

Congregavit ergo David cunctum Israël, a Sihor Ægypti usque dum ingrediaris Emath, ut adduceret arcam Dei de Cariathiarim.

6 and David goeth up, and all Israel, to Baalah, unto Kirjath-Jearim that [is] to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God Jehovah, inhabiting the cherubs, where the Name is called on.

Et ascendit David, et omnis vir Israël, ad collem Cariathiarim, qui est in Juda, ut afferret inde arcam Domini Dei sedentis super cherubim, ubi invocatum est nomen ejus.

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,

Imposueruntque arcam Dei super plaustrum novum, de domo Abinadab: Oza autem, et frater ejus minabant plaustrum.

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.

Porro David, et universus Israël, ludebant coram Deo omni virtute in canticis, et in citharis, et psalteriis, et tympanis, et cymbalis, et tubis.

9 And they come in unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, and Uzza putteth forth his hand to seize the ark, for the oxen were released,

Cum autem pervenisset ad aream Chidon, tetendit Oza manum suam, ut sustentaret arcam: bos quippe lasciviens paululum inclinaverat eam.

10 and the anger of Jehovah is kindled against Uzza, and He smiteth him, because that he hath put forth his hand on the ark, and he dieth there before God.

Iratus est itaque Dominus contra Ozam, et percussit eum, eo quod tetigisset arcam: et mortuus est ibi coram Domino.

11 And it is displeasing to David, because Jehovah hath made a breach upon Uzza, and one calleth that place 'Breach of Uzza' unto this day.

Contristatusque est David, eo quod divisisset Dominus Ozam: vocavitque locum illum Divisio Ozæ, usque in præsentem diem.

12 And David feareth God on that day, saying, 'How do I bring in unto me the ark of God?'

Et timuit Deum tunc temporis, dicens: Quomodo possum ad me introducere arcam Dei?

13 And David hath not turned aside the ark unto himself, unto the city of David, and turneth it aside unto the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

et ob hanc causam non adduxit eam ad se, hoc est, in civitatem David, sed avertit in domum Obededom Gethæi.

14 And the ark of God dwelleth with the household of Obed-Edom, in his house, three months, and Jehovah blesseth the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he hath.

Mansit ergo arca Dei in domo Obededom tribus mensibus: et benedixit Dominus domui ejus, et omnibus quæ habebat.
