1 Paralipomenon 13

1David consulted with the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and with all the commanders.

Iniit autem consilium David cum tribunis, et centurionibus, et universis principibus,

2And he said to all the assembly of Israel: If it please you; and if the words which I speak come from the Lord our God, let us send to the rest of our brethren into all the countries of Israel, and to the priests, and the Levites, that dwell in the suburbs of the cities, to gather themselves to us,

et ait ad omnem cœtum Israël: Si placet vobis, et a Domino Deo nostro egreditur sermo quem loquor, mittamus ad fratres nostros reliquos in universas regiones Israël, et ad sacerdotes et Levitas qui habitant in suburbanis urbium, ut congregentur ad nos,

3And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we sought it not in the days of Saul.

et reducamus arcam Dei nostri ad nos: non enim requisivimus eam in diebus Saul.

4And all the multitude answered that it should be so: for the word pleased all the people.

Et respondit universa multitudo ut ita fieret: placuerat enim sermo omni populo.

5So David assembled all Israel from Sihor of Egypt, even to the entering into Emath, to bring the ark of God from Cariathiarim.

Congregavit ergo David cunctum Israël, a Sihor Ægypti usque dum ingrediaris Emath, ut adduceret arcam Dei de Cariathiarim.

6And David went up with all the men of Israel to the hill of Cariathiarim which is in Juda, to bring thence the ark of the Lord God sitting upon the cherubims, where his name is called upon.

Et ascendit David, et omnis vir Israël, ad collem Cariathiarim, qui est in Juda, ut afferret inde arcam Domini Dei sedentis super cherubim, ubi invocatum est nomen ejus.

7And they carried the ark of God upon a new cart out of the house of Abinadab. And Oza and his brother drove the cart.

Imposueruntque arcam Dei super plaustrum novum, de domo Abinadab: Oza autem, et frater ejus minabant plaustrum.

8And David and all Israel played before God with all their might with hymns, and with harps, and with psalteries, and timbrels, and cymbals, and trumpets,

Porro David, et universus Israël, ludebant coram Deo omni virtute in canticis, et in citharis, et psalteriis, et tympanis, et cymbalis, et tubis.

9And when they came to the floor of Chidon, Oza put forth his hand, to hold up the ark: for the ox being wanton had made it lean a little on one side.

Cum autem pervenisset ad aream Chidon, tetendit Oza manum suam, ut sustentaret arcam: bos quippe lasciviens paululum inclinaverat eam.

10And the Lord was angry with Oza, and struck him, because he had touched the ark; and he died there before the Lord.

Iratus est itaque Dominus contra Ozam, et percussit eum, eo quod tetigisset arcam: et mortuus est ibi coram Domino.

11And David was troubled because the Lord had divided Oza: and he called that place the Breach of Oza to this day.

Contristatusque est David, eo quod divisisset Dominus Ozam: vocavitque locum illum Divisio Ozæ, usque in præsentem diem.

12And he feared God at that time, saying: How can I bring in the ark of God to me?

Et timuit Deum tunc temporis, dicens: Quomodo possum ad me introducere arcam Dei?

13And therefore he brought it not home to himself, that is, into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gethite.

et ob hanc causam non adduxit eam ad se, hoc est, in civitatem David, sed avertit in domum Obededom Gethæi.

14And the ark of God remained in the house of Obededom three months: and the Lord blessed his house, and all that he had.

Mansit ergo arca Dei in domo Obededom tribus mensibus: et benedixit Dominus domui ejus, et omnibus quæ habebat.
