1 Crónicas 13
1 Entonces David tomó consejo con los jefes de millares y de centenas, los oficiales de la casa y todos los jefes.
Then David had discussions with the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds and with every chief.
2 Y David dijo a toda la congregación de Israel: Si les parece bien y si es la voluntad de Yavé nuestro ʼElohim, enviemos mensajeros a todas partes [a llamar a] nuestros hermanos que quedaron en todas las tierras de Israel y a los sacerdotes y levitas que están con ellos en sus ciudades y campos de alrededor, para que se reúnan con nosotros.
And David said to all the men of Israel who had come together there, If it seems good to you and if it is the purpose of the Lord our God, let us send to all the rest of our brothers, everywhere in the land of Israel, and to the priests and the Levites in their towns and the country round them, and get them to come together here to us;
3 Traigamos hasta nosotros el Arca de nuestro ʼElohim, porque no la buscamos en el tiempo de Saúl.
And let us get back for ourselves the ark of our God: for in the days of Saul we did not go to it for directions.
4 Toda la congregación dijo que se hiciera así, porque el asunto pareció bien a todo el pueblo.
And all the people said they would do so, for it seemed right to them.
5 Entonces David reunió a todo Israel, desde Sihor de Egipto hasta la entrada de Hamat, para traer el Arca de ʼElohim desde Quiriat-jearim.
So David sent for all Israel to come together, from Shihor, the river of Egypt, as far as the way into Hamath, to get the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
6 David subió con todo Israel a Baala de Quiriat-jearim, en Judá, para traer de allí el Arca de ʼElohim, Yavé, Quien mora entre los querubines, sobre la cual es invocado su Nombre.
And David went up, with all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim in Judah, to get up from there the ark of God, over which the holy Name is named, the name of the Lord whose place is between the winged ones.
7 Trajeron el Arca de ʼElohim de la casa de Abinadab en una carroza nueva. Uza y Ahío guiaban la carroza.
And they put the ark of God on a new cart, and took it out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio were the drivers of the cart.
8 David y todo Israel se regocijaban delante de ʼElohim con todas sus fuerzas, con cánticos, arpas, salterios, panderos, címbalos y trompetas.
Then David and all Israel made melody before God with all their strength, with songs and corded instruments of music, and with brass instruments and horns.
9 Cuando llegaron a la era de Quidón, Uza extendió su mano al Arca para sostenerla, porque los bueyes tropezaban.
And when they came to the grain-floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to keep the ark in its place, for the oxen were slipping.
10 La ira de Yavé se encendió contra Uza y lo hirió, porque extendió su mano al Arca. Murió allí delante de ʼElohim.
And the wrath of the Lord, burning against Uzza, sent destruction on him because he had put his hand on the ark, and death came to him there before God.
11 David se disgustó porque Yavé quebrantó a Uza, por lo cual llamó aquel lugar Perez-uza hasta hoy.
And David was angry because of the Lord's outburst of wrath against Uzza, and he gave that place the name Perez-uzza, to this day.
12 Aquel día David tuvo temor a ʼElohim y preguntó: ¿Cómo podrá el Arca de ʼElohim ir a mí?
And so great was David's fear of God that day, that he said, How may I let the ark of God come to me?
13 Así que David no llevó consigo el Arca a la Ciudad de David, más bien la desvió a la casa de Obed-edom geteo.
So David did not let the ark come back to him to the town of David, but had it turned away and put into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
14 El Arca de ʼElohim estuvo en la casa con la familia de Obed-edom tres meses. Y Yavé bendijo la casa de Obed-edom, y todo lo que tenía.
And the ark of God was in the house of Obed-edom for three months; and the Lord sent a blessing on the house of Obed-edom and on all he had.
