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

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

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,

²David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is of Yahweh our God, let us send abroad everywhere to our brothers who are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have 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 didn’t seek it in the days of Saul.”

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

⁴All the assembly said that they would 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.

⁵So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor the brook of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath 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.

⁶David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God Yahweh that sits above the cherubim, that is called by the Name.

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

⁷They carried the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it 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.

⁸David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, 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,

⁹When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen 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.

¹⁰The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzza, and he struck him, because he 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.

¹¹David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken forth on 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?'

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

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

¹³So David didn’t move the ark to him into the city of David, but 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.

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