¹And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.

¹David je vijećao s tisućnicima, stotnicima i sa svim vođama.

²And 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:

²I reče on svemu zboru Izraelovu: "Ako vam je pravo te ako je naš Bog Jahve odlučio tako, poslat ćemo glasnike k svojoj ostaloj braći u svim izraelskim zemljama, a tako i svećenicima s njima i levitima po gradovima pašnjaka njihovih, da se ujedine s nama.

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

³Prenijet ćemo k sebi Kovčeg svoga Boga, jer ga nismo doista tražili za Šaulovih dana."

⁴And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

⁴Sav zbor odluči da se tako učini, jer je to bilo pravo u očima svega naroda.

⁵So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim.

⁵Tako je David sabrao sav narod Izraelov od Egipatskoga Šihora pa do Ulaza u Hamat da donesu Kovčeg Božji iz Kirjat Jearima.

⁶And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubim, whose name is called on it.

⁶Pošao je David sa svim Izraelom u Baalu, u Kirjat Jearim, koji je u Judi, da odande ponesu Kovčeg Božji nazvan imenom Jahve, koji stoluje nad kerubinima.

⁷And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.

⁷Povezli su Kovčeg Božji na novim kolima iz Abinadabove kuće; a Uza i Ahjo upravljali su kolima.

⁸And 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.

⁸David i sav Izrael igrali su pred Bogom iz sve snage pjevajući uza zvuke citara, harfa, bubnjeva, cimbala i truba.

⁹And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

⁹Kad su došli do Kidonova gumna, posegnu Uza rukom da pridrži Kovčeg jer ga volovi umalo ne prevrnuše.

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰Ali se Jahve razgnjevio na Uzu i udario ga zato što je pružio ruku prema Kovčegu. Umro je ondje pred Bogom.

¹¹And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.

¹¹Davidu bijaše žao što je Jahve onako udario Uzu i on prozva ono mjesto Peres Uza, kako se zove i dan-danas.

¹²And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?

¹²Toga se dana David uplaši Boga i reče: "Kako ću donijeti k sebi Kovčeg Božji?"

¹³So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.

¹³Nije dao svratiti Kovčega k sebi u Davidov grad nego ga skloni u kuću Obed-Edoma Gitejca.

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

¹⁴I ostade Kovčeg Božji kod Obed-Edomove obitelji, u njegovoj kući, tri mjeseca. Jahve stoga blagoslovi Obed-Edomovu kuću i sve što je imao.
