1 Chronicles 13

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 After David had taken counsel with his commanders of thousands and of hundreds, that is to say, with every one of his leaders,	1 Davi teve conselho com os chefes de milhares e de centenas, com todos os príncipes.
2 he said to the whole assembly of Israel: "If it seems good to you, and is so decreed by the LORD our God, let us summon the rest of our brethren from all the districts of Israel, and also the priests and the Levites from their cities with pasture lands, that they may join us;	2 E disse a toda a assembléia de Israel: Se achais bom e isso parece vir do Senhor, nosso Deus, enviemos, sem tardar, mensageiros a nossos irmãos, em todas as regiões de Israel, como também aos sacerdotes e levitas, em todas as localidades onde estão suas pastagens, para que se juntem a nós,
3 and let us bring the ark of our God here among us, for in the days of Saul we did not visit it."	3 e tornemos a trazer para nós a arca de nosso Deus, pois não cuidamos dela no tempo de Saul.
4 And the whole assembly agreed to do this, for the idea was pleasing to all the people.	4 E toda a assembléia achou bom agir desse modo, porque isso pareceu conveniente a todo o povo.
5 Then David assembled all Israel, from Shihor of Egypt to Labo of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.	5 Davi convocou todo o Israel, desde o Sior no Egito até a entrada de Emat, a fim de trazer de Cariatiarim a arca de Deus.
6 David and all Israel went up to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim, of Judah, to bring back the ark of God, which was known by the name "LORD enthroned upon the cherubim."	6 Davi, com todo o Israel, subiu a Baala, em Cariatiarim de Judá, para trazer de lá a arca do Senhor Deus, do Senhor que tem seu trono sobre os querubins, diante da qual seu nome é invocado.
7 They transported the ark of God on a new cart from the house of Abinadab; Uzzah and Ahio were guiding the cart,	7 A arca de Deus foi colocada num carro novo e a trouxeram da casa de Abinadab: Oza e Aio conduziam o carro.
8 while David and all Israel danced before God with great enthusiasm, amid songs and music on lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.	8 Davi e todo o Israel dançavam diante de Deus, de toda a sua alma, cantando com acompanhamento de cítara, de harpas e tamborins, de címbalos e trombetas.
9 As they reached the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah stretched out his hand to steady the ark, for the oxen were upsetting it.	9 Quando chegavam à eira de Quidon, Oza estendeu a mão para suster a arca de Deus, porque os bois, tropeçando, a tinham feito inclinar.
10 Then the LORD became angry with Uzzah and struck him; he died there in God's presence, because he had laid his hand on the ark.	10 A ira do Senhor se inflamou contra Oza, e o feriu, porque estendera sua mão para a arca; e Oza morreu ali mesmo, diante de Deus.
11 David was disturbed because the LORD'S anger had broken out against Uzzah. Therefore that place has been called Perez-uzza even to this day.	11 Davi ficou contristado porque o Senhor ferira Oza. E esse lugar traz ainda hoje o nome de Ferets-Oza.
12 David was now afraid of God, and he said, "How can I bring the ark of God with me?"	12 Nesse dia, Davi teve medo de Deus: Como, disse ele, faria eu entrar a arca de Deus em minha casa?
13 Therefore he did not take the ark back with him to the City of David, but he took it instead to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.	13 E Davi não acolheu, a arca em sua casa, na cidade de Davi. Ele a mandou levar à casa de Obededom, de Get.
14 The ark of God remained in the house of Obed-edom with his family for three months, and the LORD blessed Obed-edom's household and all that he possessed.	14 A arca de Deus ficou durante três meses com a família de Obededom, na sua casa; e o Senhor abençoou a família de Obededom com tudo o que lhe pertencia.
