1 Chronicles 13 — Novel English Bible

1 Dawad (David) yaitz (consulted) with the sharay (captains) of alapayam (thousands) and of maawath (hundreds), even with every nagayad (leader).

2 Dawad (David) amar (spoke) to all the qahal (assembly) of Yashar-Al (Israel), “If it seems tawab (good / proper function) to you, and if it is of Yahawah () our Alahayam (), shalach (send) us send paratz (abroad) everywhere to our ach (brother/kinsman) who are shaar (left) in all the aratz (Earth/land) of Yashar-Al (Israel), with whom the kahanayam (priests) and Lawayay (Levites) are in their iray (cities) that have magarash (suburbs), that they may qabatz (gather) themselves to us;

3 And let us sabab (bring) again the arawan (ark) of our Alahayam () to us. For we didn't darash (seek) it in the yamay (days) of Shaawal (Saul).”

4 All the qahal (assembly) amar (said) that they would ishah (make) so; for the thing was yashar (upright) in the iyanay (eyes) of all the im (nation / people).

5 So Dawad (David) qahal (assembled) all Yashar-Al (Israel) together, from the Shayachawar (Shihor) the brook of Matzarayam (Egypt) even to the entrance of Chamath (Hamath), to bawaa (come) the arawan (ark) of Alahayam () from Kiriath Qarayath-Yairayam (Jearim).

6 Dawad (David) ilah (go up / offer) up, and all Yashar-Al (Israel), to Bailah (Baalah), that is, to Kiriath Qarayath-Yairayam (Jearim), which belonged to Yahawadah (Judah), to ilah (go up / offer) up from there the arawan (ark) of Alahayam () Yahawah () that yashab (inhabit/dwell) above the karawab (cherubim), that is qaraa (called) by the sham (name).

7 They rakab (carried) the arawan (ark) of Alahayam () on a chadash (new) igalah (cart), and brought it out of the bayath (house) of Abayanadab (Abinadab): and Izaa (Uzza) and Achayaw (Ahio) nahag (drove) the igalah (cart).

8 Dawad (David) and all Yashar-Al (Israel) shachaq (played) panayam (face) Alahayam () with all their iz (strength / might / refuge), even with shayarayam (songs), and with kanarawath (harps), and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with matzalathayam (cymbals), and with chatzatzarawath (trumpets).

9 When they bawaa (bring) to the garan (threshing) floor of Kayadawan (Chidon), Izaa (Uzza) shalach (send) forth his yad (hand) to achaz (hold) the arawan (ark); for the oxen shamat (stumbled).

10 The ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) of Yahawah () was charah (hot with anger) against Izaa (Uzza), and he nakah (struck) him, because he shalach (send) forth his yad (hand) to the arawan (ark); and there he mawath (death) panayam (face) Alahayam ().

11 Dawad (David) was charah (hot with anger), because Yahawah () had broken paratz (forth) on Izaa (Uzza); and he qaraa (called) that maqawam (place) Paratz (Perez) Izaa (Uzza), to this yawam (day).

12 Dawad (David) was yaraa (fear / be afraid) of Alahayam () that yawam (day), amar (spoke), “hayak (how) shall I bawaa (come) the arawan (ark) of Alahayam () home to me?”

13 So Dawad (David) didn't move the arawan (ark) to him into the iyar (city) of Dawad (David), but natah (carried) it aside into the bayath (house) of Ibadaadawam (Obed-Edom) the Gathay (Gittite).

14 The arawan (ark) of Alahayam () yashab (inhabit/dwell) with the bayath (house) of Ibadaadawam (Obed-Edom) in his bayath (house) shalawash (three) chadashayam (months): and Yahawah () barak (blessed) the bayath (house) of Ibadaadawam (Obed-Edom), and all that he had.
