I Paralipomenon 13

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

And David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.

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

And David said unto all the assembly of Israel: 'If it seem good unto you, and if it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad everywhere unto our brethren that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites that are in their cities that have open land about them, that they may gather themselves unto us;

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

and let us bring back the ark of our God to us; for we sought not unto it in the days of Saul.'

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

And all the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

5 Congregavit ergo David cunctum Israel a Sihor Aegypti, usque dum ingrediaris Emath, ut adduceret arcam Dei de Cariathiarim.

So David assembled all Israel together, from Shihor the brook of Egypt even unto the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.

6 Et ascendit David, et omnis vir Israel ad collem Cariathiarim, qui est in Iuda, ut afferret inde arcam Domini Dei sedentis super cherubim, ubi invocatum est nomen eius.

And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, the LORD that sitteth upon the cherubim, whereon is called the Name.

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

And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.

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

And David and all Israel played before God with all their might; even with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

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

And when they came unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

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

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and He smote him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God.

11 Contristatusque est David, eo quod divisisset Dominus Ozam: vocavitque locum illum: Divisio Ozae usque in praesentem diem.

And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth upon Uzza; and that place was called Perez-uzza unto this day.

12 Et timuit Deum tunc temporis, dicens: Quo modo possum ad me introducere arcam Dei?

And David was afraid of God that day, saying: 'How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?'

13 Et ob hanc causam non adduxit eam ad se, hoc est, in Civitatem David, sed avertit in domum Obededom Gethaei.

So David removed not the ark unto him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

14 Mansit ergo arca Dei in domo Obededom tribus mensibus: et benedixit Dominus domui eius, et omnibus quae habebat.

And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months; and the LORD blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
