1 Chronicles, 13

1. Then David took counsel with the tribunes, and the centurions, and all the leaders.

1. David je vijeæao s tisuænicima, stotnicima i sa svim voðama.

2. And he said to the entire assembly of Israel: “If it pleases you, and if the words that I speak come from the Lord our God, let us send to the remainder of our brothers, in all the regions of Israel, and to the priests and Levites who live in the suburbs of the cities, so that they may gather to us.

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

3. And let us bring back the ark of our God to us. For we did not seek it during the days of Saul.”

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

4. And the entire multitude responded that it should be done. For the word had pleased all the people.

4. Sav zbor odluèi da se tako uèini, jer je to bilo pravo u oèima svega naroda.

5. Therefore, David gathered all of Israel, from Shihor of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, so as to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.

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

6. And David ascended with all the men of Israel to the hill of Kiriath-jearim, which is in Judah, so that he might bring from there the ark of the Lord God, sitting upon the Cherubim, where his name is invoked.

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

7. And they placed the ark of God upon a new cart from the house of Abinadab. Then Uzzah and his brother drove the cart.

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

8. Now David and all of Israel were playing before God, with all of their ability, in songs, and with harps, and psalteries, and timbrels, and cymbals, and trumpets.

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

9. And when they had arrived at the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out his hand, so that he might support the ark. For indeed, the ox being wanton had caused it to incline a little.

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

10. And so the Lord became angry against Uzzah. And he struck him down because he had touched the ark. And he died there before the Lord.

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

11. And David was greatly saddened because the Lord had divided Uzzah. And he called that place ‘the Division of Uzzah,’ even to the present day.

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

12. And then he feared God, at that time, saying: “How will I be able to bring in the ark of God to myself?”

12. Toga se dana David uplaši Boga i reèe: "Kako æu donijeti k sebi Kovèeg Božji?"

13. And for this reason, he did not bring it to himself, that is, into the City of David. Instead, he turned aside to the house of Obededom, the Gittite.

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

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

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