I Livro das Crônicas 13

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Davi teve conselho com os chefes de milhares e de centenas, com todos os príncipes.	1 Then David took counsel with the tribunes, and the centurions, and all the leaders.
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,	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.
3 e tornemos a trazer para nós a arca de nosso Deus, pois não cuidamos dela no tempo de Saul.	3 And let us bring back the ark of our God to us. For we did not seek it during the days of Saul.”
4 E toda a assembléia achou bom agir desse modo, porque isso pareceu conveniente a todo o povo.	4 And the entire multitude responded that it should be done. For the word had pleased all the people.
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.	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.
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.	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.
7 A arca de Deus foi colocada num carro novo e a trouxeram da casa de Abinadab: Oza e Aio conduziam o carro.	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.
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.	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.
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.	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.
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.	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.
11 Davi ficou contristado porque o Senhor ferira Oza. E esse lugar traz ainda hoje o nome de Ferets-Oza.	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.
12 Nesse dia, Davi teve medo de Deus: Como, disse ele, faria eu entrar a arca de Deus em minha casa?	12 And then he feared God, at that time, saying: “How will I be able to bring in the ark of God to myself?”
13 E Davi não acolheu, a arca em sua casa, na cidade de Davi. Ele a mandou levar à casa de Obededom, de Get.	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.
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.	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.
