I Paralipomenon 13

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

And David consulted with the officers of the 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 if it be of the Lord our God, let us send widely about unto our brethren who are left in all the lands of Israel, and with them unto the priests and Levites who are in their cities and open districts, that they may gather themselves together unto us.

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

And let us bring round the ark of our God to us; for we have inquired 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 this should be done; for the king 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 Shichor of Egypt even unto the entrance of Chemath, to bring the ark of God from Kiryath-ye'arim.

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, with all Israel, to Ba'alah, [that is] to Kiryath-ye'arim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the Lord, that dwelleth between the cherubim, 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 conveyed the ark of God in a new wagon out of the house of Abinadab: and 'Uzza and Achyo guided the wagon.

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 on harps, and on psalteries, and on tambourines, 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 as far as the threshing-floor of Kidon, 'Uzza put forth his hand to take hold of the ark; for the oxen shook it.

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 had put forth his hand toward the ark: and he died there before God.

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

And it was grievious to David, because the Lord had suddenly taken away 'Uzza; and he called that place Perez-'uzza [[Breach of 'Uzza]] until 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 home to me the ark of God?

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 himself into the city of David, but had it carried round 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 in the house of 'Obed-edom, in his house, three months. And the Lord blessed the house of 'Obed-edom, and all that belonged to him.
