I Paralipomenon 13

1 iniit autem consilium David cum tribunis et centurionibus et universis principibus

David consulted with the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with every leader.

2 et ait ad omnem coetum Israhel si placet vobis et a Domino Deo nostro egreditur sermo quem loquor mittamus ad fratres nostros reliquos in universas regiones Israhel et ad sacerdotes et Levitas qui habitant in suburbanis urbium ut congregentur ad nos

David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this comes from Yahweh our God, let us send messengers everywhere to our brothers who remain in all the regions of Israel, and to the priests and Levites who are in their cities. Let them be told to join us.

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

Let us bring the ark of our God back to ourselves, for we did not seek his will in the days of Saul's reign.”

4 et respondit universa multitudo ut ita fieret placuerat enim sermo omni populo

The whole assembly agreed to do these things, because they seemed right in the eyes of all the people.

5 congregavit ergo David cunctum Israhel a Sior Aegypti usque dum ingrediaris Emath ut adduceret arcam Dei de Cariathiarim

So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor River in Egypt to Lebo Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim.

6 et ascendit David et omnis vir Israhel ad collem Cariathiarim quae est in Iuda ut adferrent inde arcam Dei Domini sedentis super cherubin ubi invocatum est nomen eius

David and all Israel went up to Baalah, that is, Kiriath Jearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by Yahweh's name, Yahweh, who sits enthroned over the cherubim.

7 inposueruntque arcam Dei super plaustrum novum de domo Aminadab Oza autem et fratres eius minabant plaustrum

So they set the ark of God on a new cart. They brought it out of Abinadab's house. Uzzah and Ahio were guiding the cart.

8 porro David et universus Israhel ludebant coram Deo omni virtute in canticis et in citharis et psalteriis et tympanis et cymbalis et tubis

David and all Israel were celebrating before God with all their might. They were singing with stringed instruments, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.

9 cum autem pervenissent ad aream Chidon tetendit Oza manum suam ut sustentaret arcam bos quippe lasciviens paululum inclinaverat eam

When they came to the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out with his hand to grab the ark, because the oxen stumbled.

10 iratus est itaque Dominus contra Ozam et percussit eum eo quod contigisset arcam et mortuus est ibi coram Deo

Then the anger of Yahweh burned against Uzzah, and Yahweh killed him because Uzzah had reached out with his hand to the ark. He died there before God.

11 contristatusque David eo quod divisisset Dominus Ozam vocavit locum illum Divisio Oza usque in praesentem diem

David was angry because Yahweh had attacked Uzzah. That place is called Perez Uzzah to this day.

12 et timuit Deum tunc temporis dicens quomodo possum ad me introducere arcam Dei

David was afraid of God that day. He said, “How can I bring the ark of God home to me?”

13 et ob hanc causam non eam adduxit ad se hoc est in civitatem David sed avertit in domum Obededom Getthei

So David did not move the ark to the city of David, but put it aside in 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

The ark of God remained in Obed Edom's household in his house for three months. So Yahweh blessed his house and all that he possessed.
