I Paralipomenon 13

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

And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, [and] 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 congregation of Israel, If [it seem] good unto you, and [that it be] of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, [that are] left in all the land of Israel, and with them [also] to the priests and Levites [which are] in their cities [and] suburbs, 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 again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul.

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

And all the congregation 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 gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-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 Kirjath-jearim, which [belonged] to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth [between] the cherubims, whose name is called [on it].

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

And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave 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, and with singing, 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 threshingfloor 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 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 made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to 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 brought not the ark [home] to himself to 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.
