NOVA VULGATANEW JERUSALEM
1 Iniit autem consilium David cum tribunis et centurionibus et universis principibus1 David conferred with the commanders of the thousands and the hundreds, in fact with al the leaders.
2 et ait ad omnem coetum Israel: “ Si placet vobis, et a Domino Deo nostro egreditur sermo, quem loquor, mittamus ad fratres nostros reliquos in universas regiones Israel et ad sacerdotes et Levitas, qui habitant in suburbanis urbium, ut congregentur ad nos,2 Then, to the whole assembly of Israel, David said, 'If this has your approval, and if Yahweh our Godwil s it so, we shal send messengers to the rest of our brothers throughout the territories of Israel, and also tothe priests and Levites in their towns and pasture lands, bidding them join us.
3 et reducamus arcam Dei nostri ad nos; non enim requisivimus eam in diebus Saul ”.3 And then we will go and recover the ark of our God, for in the days of Saul we neglected to do it.'
4 Et respondit universa multitudo, ut ita fieret; placuerat enim sermo omni populo.4 The whole assembly agreed to this, because al the people thought that this was the right thing to do.
5 Congregavit ergo David cunctum Israel a Sihor Aegypti usque ad introitum dum ingrediaris Emath, ut adduceret arcam Dei de Cariathiarim.5 So David summoned al Israel from the Shihor of Egypt to the Pass of Hamath, to bring the ark of Godfrom Kiriath-Jearim.
6 Et ascendit David et omnis Israel in Baala, in Cariathiarim, quae est in Iuda, ut afferrent inde arcam Dei Domini sedentis super cherubim, ubi invocatum est nomen eius.6 David and al Israel then went up to Baalah, to Kiriath-Jearim in Judah, from there to bring up the arkof God, which bears the title 'Yahweh enthroned on the winged creatures'.
7 Imposueruntque arcam Dei super plaustrum novum de domo Abinadab. Oza autem et Ahio minabant plaustrum.7 They transported the ark of God out of Abinadab's house on a new cart. Uzzah and Ahio drove thecart.
8 Porro David et universus Israel ludebant coram Deo omni virtute in canticis et in citharis et psalteriis et tympanis et cymbalis et tubis.
8 David and al Israel danced before God with al their might, singing to the accompaniment of harps,lyres, tambourines, cymbals and trumpets.
9 Cum autem pervenissent ad aream Chidon, tetendit Oza manum suam, ut sustentaret arcam; boves quippe lascivientes proruperunt.9 When they came to the threshing-floor of the Javelin, Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the ark,as the oxen were making it tilt.
10 Iratus est itaque Dominus contra Ozam et percussit eum, eo quod contigisset arcam; et mortuus est ibi coram Deo.10 This roused Yahweh's anger against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he had laid his handon the Ark, and there he died before God.
11 Contristatusque est David, eo quod dirupisset Dominus Ozam; et vocatus est locus ille Pharesoza (id est Diruptio Ozae) usque in praesentem diem.11 David resented Yahweh's having broken out against Uzzah, and the place was given the namePerez-Uzzah, which it stil has today.
12 Et timuit Deum tunc temporis dicens: “ Quomodo possum ad me introducere arcam Dei? ”.12 That day David felt afraid of God. 'How can I bring the ark of God to be with me?' he said.
13 Et ob hanc causam non eam adduxit ad se, hoc est in civitatem David, sed avertit in domum Obededom Getthaei.13 So David did not take the ark with him into the City of David but had it put in the house of Obed-Edom of Gath.
14 Mansit ergo arca Dei apud domum Obededom tribus mensibus; et benedixit Dominus domui eius et omnibus quae habebat.
14 The ark of God remained with Obed-Edom, in his house, for three months, and Yahweh blessedObed-Edom's family and everything that belonged to him.
