< 1 Crônicas 13 >
1 David consultou os capitães de milhares e de centenas, mesmo com todos os líderes.
And David consulted with the rulers of thousands and hundreds, even with every chief ruler.
2 David disse a toda a assembléia de Israel: “Se vos parece bom, e se é de Javé nosso Deus, mandemos notícias por toda parte aos nossos irmãos que ficam em toda a terra de Israel, com quem os sacerdotes e levitas estão em suas cidades que têm terras de pasto, para que se reúnam a nós”.
And David said to all the convocation of Israel, If, unto you, it seemeth to be good, and from Yahweh our God, we will urgently send unto our brethren who remain in all the lands of Israel, and, with them, the priests and the Levites in their pasture-land cities, —that they may gather together unto us;
3 Também, vamos trazer a arca de nosso Deus de volta para nós, pois não a buscamos nos dias de Saul”.
and let us bring round the ark of our God, unto us, —For they sought it not, in the days of Saul.
4 Toda a assembléia disse que o fariam, pois a coisa estava certa aos olhos de todo o povo.
Than said all the convocation, that it should be done thus, —for right was the thing, in the eyes of all the people.
5 Então David reuniu todo Israel, desde o rio Shihor do Egito até a entrada de Hamath, para trazer a arca de Deus de Kiriath Jearim.
So David convoked all Israel, from Shihor of Egypt, even unto the entering in of Hamath, —to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
6 David subiu com todo Israel para Baalah, ou seja, para Kiriath Jearim, que pertencia a Judah, para trazer de lá a arca de Deus Yahweh que está acima dos querubins, que é chamada pelo Nome.
And David went up and all Israel to Baalah, unto Kiriath-jearim, which pertaineth to Judah, —to bring up from thence, the ark of God—Yahweh who inhabiteth the cherubim, on which is called the Name.
7 Eles carregaram a arca de Deus em um novo carrinho, e a trouxeram para fora da casa de Abinadab; e Uzza e Ahio dirigiram o carrinho.
And they carried the ark of God, upon a new waggon, out of the house of Aminadab, —and, Uzza and Ahio, were driving the waggon.
8 David e todo Israel tocaram diante de Deus com todas as suas forças, mesmo com canções, com harpas, com instrumentos de cordas, com pandeiros, com címbalos e com trombetas.
And, David and all Israel, were dancing for joy before God, with all boldness, and with songs and with lyres, and with harps and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
9 Quando chegaram à eira de Chidon, Uzza estendeu sua mão para segurar a arca, pois os bois tropeçaram.
And, when they came as far as the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza thrust forth his hand, to seize the ark, for the oxen were restive.
10 A raiva de Yahweh queimou contra Uzza, e ele o atingiu porque colocou sua mão sobre a arca; e ele morreu lá diante de Deus.
Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh against Uzza, and he smote him, because he thrust forth his hand unto the ark, —and he died there, before God.
11 David ficou descontente, porque Yahweh havia fugido contra Uzza. Ele chamou aquele lugar de Perez Uzza, até os dias de hoje.
And it was a sadness unto David, that Yahweh had broken in with a breach against Uzza, —and he called that place Perez-uzza, [as it is called] unto this day.
12 David tinha medo de Deus naquele dia, dizendo: “Como posso levar a arca de Deus para casa”?
And David was afraid of God, on that day, saying, —How can I bring unto me, the ark of God?
13 Então David não moveu a arca com ele para a cidade de David, mas a levou para a casa de Obed-Edom, o Gittita.
So David removed not the ark unto him, into the city of David, —but took it aside into the house of Obed-edom, the Gittite.
14 A arca de Deus permaneceu com a família de Obed-Edom em sua casa três meses; e Yahweh abençoou a casa de Obed-Edom e tudo que ele tinha.
And the ark of God remained with the household of Obed-edom, in his house, three months, —and Yahweh blessed the household of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
