Notes on this text (1)
- Ezra and Nehemiah form one book (2 Esdras) in this edition; the reader shows them as Ezra 1–10 and Nehemiah 1–13.
1 Καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο Δαυὶδ μετὰ τῶν χιλιάρχων καὶ τῶν ἑκατοντάρχων, παντὶ ἡγουμένῳ.
1 David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.
2 Καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πάσῃ ἐκκλησίᾳ Ἰσραὴλ, εἰ ἐφʼ ὑμῖν ἀγαθὸν, καὶ παρὰ Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν εὐοδωθῇ, ἀποστείλωμεν πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ἡμῶν τοὺς ὑπολελειμμένους ἐν πάσῃ γῇ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ Λευῖται ἐν πόλεσι κατασχέσεως αὐτῶν, καὶ συναχθήσονται πρὸς ἡμᾶς,
2 David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is of Yahweh our God, let’s send word everywhere to our brothers who are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have pasture lands, that they may gather themselves to us.
3 καὶ μετενέγκωμεν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ὅτι οὐκ ἐζήτησαν αὐτὴν ἀφʼ ἡμερῶν Σαούλ.
3 Also, let’s bring the ark of our God back to us again, for we didn’t seek it in the days of Saul.”
4 Καὶ εἶπε πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία τοῦ ποιῆσαι οὕτως, ὅτι εὐθὺς ὁ λόγος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ.
4 All the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
5 Καὶ ἐξεκκλησίασε Δαυὶδ τὸν πάντα Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ ὁρίων Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἕως εἰσόδου Ἡμὰθ τοῦ εἰσενέγκαι τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐκ πόλεως Ἰαρίμ.
5 So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor River of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring God’s ark from Kiriath Jearim.
6 Καὶ ἀνήγαγεν αὐτὴν Δαυίδ· καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ἀνέβη εἰς πόλιν Δαυὶδ, ἣ ἦν τοῦ Ἰούδα, τοῦ ἀναγαγεῖν ἐκεῖθεν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ Κυρίου καθημένου ἐπὶ χερουβὶμ, οὗ ἐπεκλήθη ὄνομα αὐτοῦ.
6 David went up with all Israel to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there God Yahweh’s ark that sits above the cherubim, that is called by the Name.
7 Καὶ ἐπέθηκαν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐφʼ ἅμαξαν καινὴν ἐξ οἴκου Ἀμιναδάβ· καὶ Ὀζὰ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἦγον τὴν ἅμαξαν.
7 They carried God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house; and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
8 Καὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ παίζοντες ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν πάσῃ δυνάμει, καὶ ἐν ψαλτῳδοῖς, καὶ ἐν κινύραις, καὶ ἐν νάβλαις, ἐν τυμπάνοις, καὶ ἐν κυμβάλοις, καὶ ἐν σάλπιγξι.
8 David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with cymbals, and with trumpets.
9 Καὶ ἤλθοσαν ἕως τῆς ἅλωνος· καὶ ἐξέτεινεν Ὀζὰ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ τοῦ κατασχεῖν τὴν κιβωτὸν, ὅτι ἐξέκλινεν αὐτὴν ὁ μόσχος.
9 When they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled.
10 Καὶ ἐθυμώθη Κύριος ὀργῇ ἐπὶ Ὀζά, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ διὰ τὸ ἐκτεῖναι τὴν χεῖρα αὑτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν κιβωτὸν, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκεῖ ἀπέναντι τοῦ Θεοῦ·
10 Yahweh’s anger burned against Uzza, and he struck him because he put his hand on the ark; and he died there before God.
11 Καὶ ἠθύμησε Δαυὶδ, ὅτι διέκοψε Κύριος διακοπὴν ἐν Ὀζὰ, καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸν τόπον ἐκεῖνον, Διακοπὴ Ὀζὰ, ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
11 David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken out against Uzza. He called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.
12 Καὶ ἐφοβήθη Δαυὶδ τὸν Θεὸν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγων, πῶς εἰσοίσω τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ πρὸς ἐμαυτόν;
12 David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I bring God’s ark home to me?”
13 Καὶ οὐκ ἀπέστρεψε Δαυὶδ τὴν κιβωτὸν πρὸς ἑαυτὸν εἰς πόλιν Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐξέκλινεν αὐτὴν εἰς οἶκον Ἀβεδδαρὰ τοῦ Γεθαίου.
13 So David didn’t move the ark with him into David’s city, but carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.
14 Καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν οἴκῳ Ἀβεδδαρὰ τρεῖς μῆνας· καὶ εὐλόγησεν ὁ Θεὸς Ἀβεδδαρὰ, καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ.
14 God’s ark remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months; and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom’s house and all that he had.
