¹In David se je posvetoval s poveljniki čez tisoč in čez sto, z vsemi vojvodami.

¹And David consulteth with the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, every leader,

²In David reče vsemu zboru Izraelovemu: Ako se vam zdi prav in ako je ta stvar od GOSPODA, našega Boga, pošljimo povsod k ostalim bratom našim po vseh pokrajinah Izraelovih in ž njimi vred k duhovnikom in levitom, ki so v mestih okrajev svojih, da naj se zbero k nam.

²and David saith to all the assembly of Israel, `If unto you it be good, and from Jehovah our God it hath broken forth — we send unto our brethren, those left in all the lands of Israel, and with them the priests and the Levites, in the cities of their suburbs, and they are gathered unto us,

³In prinesimo skrinjo Boga svojega sem k sebi; kajti nismo vprašali po njej v dnevih Savlovih.

³and we bring round the ark of our God unto us, for we sought Him not in the days of Saul.`

⁴In ves zbor je dejal, naj se to stori, zakaj stvar se je videla dobra vsemu ljudstvu.

⁴And all the assembly say to do so, for the thing is right in the eyes of all the people.

⁵Zbral je torej David vse Izraelce od Sihorja, potoka egiptovskega, tja do vhoda v Hamat, da preneso skrinjo Božjo iz Kirjat-jearima.

⁵And David assembleth all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering in of Hamath, to bring in the ark of God from Kirjath-Jearim,

⁶In David in vsi Izraelci so šli gori v Baalo, v Kirjat-jearim, ki je na Judovem, da prineso odondod skrinjo Boga, GOSPODA, ki stoluje nad kerubi, kjer se kliče njegovo ime.

⁶and David goeth up, and all Israel, to Baalah, unto Kirjath-Jearim that [is] to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God Jehovah, inhabiting the cherubs, where the Name is called on.

⁷In peljali so skrinjo Božjo na novem vozu iz hiše Abinadabove. Uza in Ahio pa sta vodila voz.

⁷And they place the ark of God on a new cart, from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio are leading the cart,

⁸In David in ves Izrael so igrali pred Bogom na vso moč s petjem, na harfe in na strune in na bobne in cimbale in na trombe.

⁸and David and all Israel are playing before God, with all strength, and with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

⁹In ko so prišli h gumnu Kidonovemu, je iztegnil Uza roko, da pridrži skrinjo, kajti volom se je izpoddrsnilo.

⁹And they come in unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, and Uzza putteth forth his hand to seize the ark, for the oxen were released,

¹⁰In vname se jeza GOSPODOVA zoper Uza in ga udari, ker je iztegnil roko svojo po skrinji; in umrl je tam pred Bogom.

¹⁰and the anger of Jehovah is kindled against Uzza, and He smiteth him, because that he hath put forth his hand on the ark, and he dieth there before God.

¹¹In David je bil žalosten, ker je bil GOSPOD napravil pretrg z Uzom, in imenoval je ta kraj Perez Uza, do današnjega dne.

¹¹And it is displeasing to David, because Jehovah hath made a breach upon Uzza, and one calleth that place `Breach of Uzza` unto this day.

¹²In David se zboji GOSPODA tisti dan in reče: Kako naj pripeljem skrinjo Božjo k sebi?

¹²And David feareth God on that day, saying, `How do I bring in unto me the ark of God?`

¹³David torej ni odpravil skrinje k sebi v mesto Davidovo, temuč je krenil ž njo v hišo Obededoma Gatovca.In skrinja Božja je ostala z družino Obededomovo v hiši njegovi tri mesece; in GOSPOD je blagoslovil hišo Obededomovo in vse, kar je imel.

¹³And David hath not turned aside the ark unto himself, unto the city of David, and turneth it aside unto the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

¹⁴In skrinja Božja je ostala z družino Obededomovo v hiši njegovi tri mesece; in GOSPOD je blagoslovil hišo Obededomovo in vse, kar je imel.

¹⁴And the ark of God dwelleth with the household of Obed-Edom, in his house, three months, and Jehovah blesseth the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he hath.
