¹Siis Taavet pidas nõu tuhande- ja sajapealikutega, kõigi vürstidega.

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

²Ja Taavet ütles kogu Iisraeli kogudusele: 'Kui see teie meelest hea on ja Issand, meie Jumal, lubab, siis läkitagem sõna oma vendade juurde, kes on jäänud kõigisse Iisraeli maakondadesse, nõndasamuti ka preestrite ja leviitide juurde nende karjamaalinnadesse, et nad koguneksid meie juurde,

²And David said to all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good to you, and it be of Jehovah our God, let us send abroad to our brethren everywhere, that are left in all the lands of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves to us;

³ja toogem oma Jumala laegas jälle meie juurde, sest Sauli päevil ei ole me sellest hoolinud!'

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

⁴Siis ütles terve kogudus, et nõnda tuleb teha, sest see oli õige kogu rahva silmis.

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

⁵Ja Taavet kogus kokku terve Iisraeli Egiptuseojast kuni Hamati teelahkmeni Jumala laegast Kirjat-Jearimist ära tooma.

⁵And David assembled all Israel from the Shihor of Egypt unto the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim.

⁶Ja Taavet ning kogu Iisrael läksid üles Baalasse, see on Juudas olevasse Kirjat-Jearimi, et sealt ära tuua keerubitel istuva Jumala laegas, millele oli pandud tema nimi.

⁶And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, of Jehovah, who sitteth between the cherubim, whose name is placed [there].

⁷Nad vedasid uue vankriga Jumala laeka ära Abinadabi kojast, ja Ussa ja Ahjo juhtisid vankrit.

⁷And they carried the ark of God on a new cart out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.

⁸Ja Taavet ning kogu Iisrael laulsid ja mängisid kõigest väest Jumala ees kannelde, naablite, trummide, simblite ja pasunatega.

⁸And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with lutes, and with tambours, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

⁹Kui nad jõudsid Kiidoni rehealuse juurde, sirutas Ussa oma käe, et laegast kinni hoida, sest härjad tahtsid ümber ajada,

⁹And when they came to the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen had stumbled.

¹⁰aga Issanda viha süttis põlema Ussa vastu ja ta lõi tema maha, sellepärast et ta oli pistnud oma käe laeka külge, ja ta suri seal Jumala ees.

¹⁰And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he had put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God.

¹¹Siis Taavet sai pahaseks, et Issand oli Ussa lõhki rebinud, ja ta pani sellele paigale nimeks Perets-Ussa, nagu see on tänapäevani.

¹¹And David was indignant; for Jehovah had made a breach upon Uzza; and he called that place Perez-Uzza to this day.

¹²Ja Taavet kartis sel päeval Jumalat, öeldes: 'Kuidas ma võin Jumala laeka viia enese juurde?'

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

¹³Ja Taavet ei lasknud laegast tuua enese juurde Taaveti linna, vaid laskis selle viia kõrvale, gatlase Oobed-Edomi kotta.

¹³And David brought not the ark home unto himself into the city of David, but he carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

¹⁴Ja Jumala laegas jäi kolmeks kuuks Oobed-Edomi pere juurde tema kotta; ja Issand õnnistas Oobed-Edomi koda ja kõike, mis tal oli.

¹⁴And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months. And Jehovah blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he had.
