I Chronicles 13

وَشَاوَرَ دَاوُدُ قُوَّادَ الأُلُوفِ وَالْمِئَاتِ وَكُلَّ رَئِيسٍ.

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

وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِكُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «إِنْ حَسُنَ عِنْدَكُمْ وَكَانَ ذلِكَ مِنَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِنَا، فَلْنُرْسِلْ إِلَى كُلِّ جِهَةٍ، إِلَى إِخْوَتِنَا الْبَاقِينَ فِي كُلِّ أَرَاضِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَعَهُمُ الْكَهَنَةُ وَاللاَّوِيُّونَ فِي مُدُنِ مَسَارِحِهِمْ لِيَجْتَمِعُوا إِلَيْنَا،

And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:

فَنُرْجعَ تَابُوتَ إِلهِنَا إِلَيْنَا لأَنَّنَا لَمْ نَسْأَلْ بِهِ فِي أَيَّامِ شَاوُلَ».

And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul.

فَقَالَ كُلُّ الْجَمَاعَةِ بِأَنْ يَفْعَلُوا ذلِكَ، لأَنَّ الأَمْرَ حَسُنَ فِي أَعْيُنِ جَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ.

And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

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

So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath–jearim.

وَصَعِدَ دَاوُدُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى بَعْلَةَ، إِلَى قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ الَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا، لِيُصْعِدُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ تَابُوتَ اللهِ الرَّبِّ الْجَالِسِ عَلَى الْكَرُوبِيمَ الَّذِي دُعِيَ بِالاسْمِ.

And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjath–jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.

وَأَرْكَبُوا تَابُوتَ اللهِ عَلَى عَجَلَةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِينَادَابَ، وَكَانَ عُزَّا وَأَخِيُو يَسُوقَانِ الْعَجَلَةَ،

And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.

وَدَاوُدُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَلْعَبُونَ أَمَامَ اللهِ بِكُلِّ عِزّ وَبِأَغَانِيَّ وَعِيدَانٍ وَرَبَابٍ وَدُفُوفٍ وَصُنُوجٍ وَأَبْوَاق.

And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

وَلَمَّا انْتَهَوْا إِلَى بَيْدَرِ كِيدُونَ، مَدَّ عُزَّا يَدَهُ لِيُمْسِكَ التَّابُوتَ، لأَنَّ الثِّيرَانَ انْشَمَصَتْ.

And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى عُزَّا وَضَرَبَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ مَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى التَّابُوتِ، فَمَاتِ هُنَاكَ أَمَامَ اللهِ.

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.

فَاغْتَاظَ دَاوُدُ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ اقْتَحَمَ عُزَّا اقْتِحَامًا، وَسَمَّى ذلِكَ الْمَوْضِعَ «فَارَصَ عُزَّا» إِلَى هذَا الْيَوْمِ.

And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez–uzza to this day.

وَخَافَ دَاوُدُ اللهَ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَائِلاً: «كَيْفَ آتِي بِتَابُوتِ اللهِ إِلَيَّ؟».

And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?

وَلَمْ يَنْقُلْ دَاوُدُ التَّابُوتَ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، بَلْ مَالَ بِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ الْجَتِّيِّ.

So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed–edom the Gittite.

وَبَقِيَ تَابُوتُ اللهِ عِنْدَ بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ فِي بَيْتِهِ ثَلاَثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. وَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ بَيْتَ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ وَكُلَّ مَا لَهُ.

And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed–edom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obed–edom, and all that he had.
