Первая книга Паралипоменон 13
1 И сотвори совет Давид (со князи) и тысящники, и сотники и всеми началники,
[One day] David talked with all his army officers. Some of them were commanders of 100 soldiers and some were commanders of 1,000 soldiers.
2 и рече Давид ко всему собранию Израилеву: аще угодно вам, и от Господа Бога нашего благопоспешится, да послем к братиям нашым оставшымся во всей земли Израилеве, и с ними священницы и левити, во градех обдержания их, да соберутся к нам,
Then he summoned the other Israeli leaders and said to all of them, “If it seems to you to be a good thing for us to do, and if it is what Yahweh our God wants, let’s send a message to our fellow Israelis in all the areas of our country, including the priests and [other] descendants of Levi who are living among them in their towns and in the nearby pasturelands, to come and join us,
3 и да принесем кивот Бога нашего к нам, не взыскахом бо его во дни Саули.
because we want to bring the Sacred Chest of our God back to us. While Saul [was the king], we did not go to God’s presence to ask him what we should do.”
4 И отвеща все собрание, да тако будет, зане угодно бысть слово сие всем людем.
All the people agreed with David, because they all thought that it was the right thing to do.
5 И собра Давид всего Израиля от предел Египетских даже до входа Имафова, еже внести кивот Божий от Града Иарима.
So David gathered all the Israeli people, from the Shihor [River] in Egypt to Lebo-Hamath [town in the north, and told them that he wanted them] to [help] bring the Sacred Chest of God [back to Jerusalem] from Kiriath-Jearim [city].
6 И принесе его Давид: и весь Израиль взыде во град Давидов, иже бяше Иудин, еже вознести тамо кивот Господа Бога седяща на Херувимех, идеже призвано есть имя Его:
David went with all the Israeli people to Baalah [town], which is [another name for] Kiriath-Jearim, to get the Sacred Chest. [The people believed that] God ruled from between the statues of winged creatures that was above the lid of the Sacred Chest [MTY].
7 и постави кивот Божий на колесницу нову из дому Аминадавля: Оза же и братия его ведяху колесницу:
The people put the Sacred Chest on a new cart and transported it from Abinadab’s house. Uzzah and Ahio were guiding [the oxen that were pulling the cart].
8 Давид же и весь Израиль играху пред Богом всею силою и в песнех и в гуслех, и псалтири и тимпанех, и кимвалех и в трубах:
David and all the Israeli people were celebrating in God’s presence with all their strength. They were singing and [playing] lyres, harps, tambourines, and cymbals, and [blowing] trumpets.
9 и приидоша ко гумну Хидоню: и простре Оза руку свою, да поддержит кивот, юнец бо уклони его:
But when David’s men came to the place where Kidon threshed grain, the oxen stumbled. So Uzzah reached out with his hand to prevent the Sacred Chest from falling off the cart.
10 и прогневася Господь гневом на Озу и порази его ту, того ради, яко простре руку свою (и прикоснуся) кивоту, и умре ту пред Богом.
Yahweh immediately became very angry with Uzzah, and he caused Uzzah to suddenly die there because he had put his hand on the Sacred Chest, [and Yahweh had commanded that only the descendants of Levi who help the priests should touch the Sacred Chest].
11 И оскорбися Давид, яко пресече Господь пресечением Озу, и нарече место то пресечение Озане, даже до дне сего.
David was angry because Yahweh had punished [MTY] Uzzah. And now that place [where Uzzah died] is called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
12 И убояся Давид Бога в той день, глаголя: како внесу ко мне кивот Божий?
That day, David was afraid of God. He asked [himself], “(How can I bring God’s Sacred Chest to my [city]?/I am afraid to bring God’s Sacred Chest to my [city].)” [RHQ]
13 И не возврати Давид кивота к себе во град Давидов, но возврати и в дом Аведдара Гефеина:
So the men with David did not take the Sacred Chest to Jerusalem. Instead, they took it to the house of Obed-Edom, who was from Gath [city].
14 и пребываше кивот Божий в дому Аведдарове три месяцы, и благослови Бог Аведдара и вся, яже имеяше.
The Sacred Chest stayed with Obed-Edom’s family in his house for three months. And [during that time] Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom’s family and everything that he owned.
