1 Chronicles 13

1 Then David conferred with all his leaders, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds.

1 وَشَاوَرَ دَاوُدُ قُوَّادَ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَٱلْمِئَاتِ وَكُلَّ رَئِيسٍ.

2 And he said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this is of the LORD our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our brothers in all the land of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites in their cities and pasturelands, so that they may join us.

2 وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِكُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «إِنْ حَسُنَ عِنْدَكُمْ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا، فَلْنُرْسِلْ إِلَى كُلِّ جِهَةٍ، إِلَى إِخْوَتِنَا ٱلْبَاقِينَ فِي كُلِّ أَرَاضِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَعَهُمُ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ فِي مُدُنِ مَسَارِحِهِمْ لِيَجْتَمِعُوا إِلَيْنَا،

3 Then let us bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of Him in the days of Saul.”

3 فَنُرْجِعَ تَابُوتَ إِلَهِنَا إِلَيْنَا لِأَنَّنَا لَمْ نَسْأَلْ بِهِ فِي أَيَّامِ شَاوُلَ».

4 And because this proposal seemed right to all the people, the whole assembly agreed to it.

4 فَقَالَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ بِأَنْ يَفْعَلُوا ذَلِكَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَمْرَ حَسُنَ فِي أَعْيُنِ جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ.

5 So David assembled all Israel, from the River Shihor in Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.

5 وَجَمَعَ دَاوُدُ كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ شِيحُورِ مِصْرَ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ لِيَأْتُوا بِتَابُوتِ ٱللهِ مِنْ قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ.

6 David and all Israel went up to Baalah of Judah (that is, Kiriath-jearim) to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who is enthroned between the cherubim—the ark that is called by the Name.

6 وَصَعِدَ دَاوُدُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى بَعْلَةَ، إِلَى قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا، لِيُصْعِدُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْكَرُوبِيمَ ٱلَّذِي دُعِيَ بِٱلِٱسْمِ.

7 So they carried the ark of God from the house of Abinadab on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding the cart.

7 وَأَرْكَبُوا تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ عَلَى عَجَلَةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِينَادَابَ، وَكَانَ عُزَّا وَأَخِيُو يَسُوقَانِ ٱلْعَجَلَةَ،

8 David and all the Israelites were celebrating before God with all their might, with songs and on harps and lyres, with tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.

8 وَدَاوُدُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَلْعَبُونَ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ بِكُلِّ عِزٍّ وَبِأَغَانِيَّ وَعِيدَانٍ وَرَبَابٍ وَدُفُوفٍ وَصُنُوجٍ وَأَبْوَاقٍ.

9 When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark, because the oxen had stumbled.

9 وَلَمَّا ٱنْتَهَوْا إِلَى بَيْدَرِ كِيدُونَ، مَدَّ عُزَّا يَدَهُ لِيُمْسِكَ ٱلتَّابُوتَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلثِّيرَانَ ٱنْشَمَصَتْ.

10 And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and He struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.

10 فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى عُزَّا وَضَرَبَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ مَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى ٱلتَّابُوتِ، فَمَاتِ هُنَاكَ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ.

11 Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah. So he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.

11 فَٱغْتَاظَ دَاوُدُ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱقْتَحَمَ عُزَّا ٱقْتِحَامًا، وَسَمَّى ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ «فَارَصَ عُزَّا» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

12 That day David feared God and asked, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?”

12 وَخَافَ دَاوُدُ ٱللهَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ قَائِلًا: «كَيْفَ آتِي بِتَابُوتِ ٱللهِ إِلَيَّ؟».

13 So he did not move the ark with him to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

13 وَلَمْ يَنْقُلْ دَاوُدُ ٱلتَّابُوتَ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، بَلْ مَالَ بِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ ٱلْجَتِّيِّ.

14 Thus the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house for three months, and the LORD blessed his household and everything he owned.

14 وَبَقِيَ تَابُوتُ ٱللهِ عِنْدَ بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ فِي بَيْتِهِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. وَبَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْتَ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ وَكُلَّ مَا لَهُ.
