1 Congregavit autem rursum Da vid omnes electos ex Israel tri ginta milia.	1 Then David again gathered together all the elect men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 Surrexitque David et abiit, et universus populus, qui erat cum eo, in Baala Iudae, ut adducerent inde arcam Dei, super quam invocatum est nomen Domini exercituum sedentis in cherubim super eam.	2 And David arose and went away, with the entire people who were with him from the men of Judah, so that they might lead back the ark of God, over which is invoked the name of the Lord of hosts, who sits upon the cherubim above it.
3 Et imposuerunt arcam Dei super plaustrum novum tuleruntque eam de domo Abinadab, qui erat in colle. Oza autem et Ahio filii Abinadab minabant plaustrum:	3 And they placed the ark of God on a new cart. And they took it from the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeon. And Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4 Oza ambulabat iuxta arcam, et Ahio praecedebat eam.	4 And when they had taken it from the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeon, Ahio preceded the ark as the keeper of the ark of God.
5 David autem et omnis Israel ludebant coram Domino omni virtute in canticis et citharis et lyris et tympanis et sistris et cymbalis.	5 But David and all of Israel played before the Lord on every kind of musical instrument made of wood, and on harps, and lyres, and timbrels, and bells, and cymbals.
6 Postquam autem venerunt ad aream Nachon, extendit manum Oza ad arcam Dei et tenuit eam, quoniam boves lascivientes proruperunt.	6 And after they had arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah extended his hand to the ark of God, and he touched it, because the oxen were kicking and had caused it to tip.
7 Iratusque est indignatione Dominus contra Ozam et percussit eum super temeritate; qui mortuus est ibi iuxta arcam Dei.	7 And the indignation of the Lord was enraged against Uzzah. And he struck him for his temerity. And there he died, beside the ark of God.
8 Contristatus autem est David, eo quod diruptionem dirupisset Dominus in Ozam; et vocatum est nomen loci illius Pharesoza (id est Diruptio Ozae) usque in diem hanc.	8 Then David was saddened because the Lord had struck Uzzah. And the name of that place was called: the Striking of Uzzah, even to this day.
9 Et extimuit David Dominum in die illa dicens: “ Quomodo ingredietur ad me arca Domini? ”.	9 And David was very fearful of the Lord on that day, saying, “How shall the ark of the Lord be brought to me?”
10 Et noluit divertere ad se arcam Domini in civitate David, sed divertit eam in domum Obededom Getthaei.	10 And he was not willing to send the ark of the Lord to himself in the city of David. Instead, he sent it into the house of Obededom, the Gittite.
11 Et habitavit arca Domini in domo Obededom Getthaei tribus mensibus, et benedixit Dominus Obededom et omnem domum eius.	11 And the ark of the Lord dwelt in the house of Obededom the Gittite, for three months. And the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household.
12 Nuntiatumque est regi David: “ Benedixit Dominus Obededom et omnia eius propter arcam Dei ”. Abiit ergo David et adduxit arcam Dei de domo Obededom in civitatem David cum gaudio.	12 And it was reported to king David that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that was his, because of the ark of God. Therefore, David went and brought the ark of God, from the house of Obededom, into the city of David with joy. And there were with David seven choirs, and calves for victims.
13 Cumque progressi essent, qui portabant arcam Domini, sex passus, immolavit bovem et vitulum saginatum,	13 And when those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had traveled six steps, he immolated an ox and a ram.
14 et David saltabat totis viribus ante Dominum. Porro David erat accinctus ephod lineo.	14 And David danced with all his ability before the Lord. And David was girded with the linen ephod.
15 Et David et omnis domus Israel ducebant arcam Domini in iubilo et in clangore bucinae.	15 And David, and all the house of Israel, were leading the ark of the testament of the Lord, with jubilation and the sound of the trumpet.
16 Cumque intrasset arca Domini in civitatem David, Michol filia Saul prospiciens per fenestram vidit regem David subsilientem atque saltantem coram Domino et despexit eum in corde suo.	16 And when the ark of the Lord had entered into the city of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looking out through a window, saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord. And she despised him in her heart.
17 Et introduxerunt arcam Domini et posuerunt eam in loco suo in medio tabernaculi, quod tetenderat ei David; et obtulit David coram Domino holocausta et pacifica.	17 And they led in the ark of the Lord. And they set it in its place in the middle of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it. And David offered holocausts and peace offerings in the sight of the Lord.
18 Cumque complesset offerens holocaustum et pacifica, benedixit populo in nomine Domini exercituum.	18 And when he had completed offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19 Et partitus est multitudini universae Israel tam viro quam mulieri singulis collyridam panis unam et laganum palmarum unum et palatham unam. Et abiit omnis populus unusquisque in domum suam.	19 And he distributed to the entire multitude of Israel, as much to men as to women, to each one: one loaf of bread, and one piece of roasted beef, and fine wheat flour fried with oil. And all the people went away, each one to his own house.
20 Reversusque est et David, ut benediceret domui suae, et egressa Michol filia Saul in occursum David ait: “ Quam gloriosus fuit hodie rex Israel discooperiens se ante ancillas servorum suorum, quasi si nudetur unus de scurris! ”.	20 And David returned, so that he might bless his own house. And Michal, the daughter of Saul, going out to meet David, said: “How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself before the handmaids of his servants, and being unclothed, as if one of the performers were unclothed.”
21 Dixitque David ad Michol: “ Ante Dominum salto. Benedictus Dominus, qui elegit me potius quam patrem tuum et quam omnem domum eius, ut constitueret me ducem super populum Domini, super Israel!	21 And David said to Michal: “Before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father, and rather than his entire house, and who commanded me, that I should be the leader over the people of the Lord in Israel,
22 Ludam in conspectu Domini et vilior fiam plus quam factus sum et ero deiectus in oculis meis, sed apud ancillas, de quibus locuta es, gloriosior apparebo ”.	22 I will both play and demean myself, more so than I have done. And I will be little in my own eyes. And with the handmaids, about whom you are speaking, I will appear more glorious.”
23 Igitur Michol filiae Saul non est natus filius usque ad diem mortis suae.	23 And so, there was no child born to Michal, the daughter of Saul, even to the day of her death.
