2 Meanwhile, he set out with the men of Juda that followed him, and went to fetch the ark of God home; that ark which takes its name from the Lord God of hosts, dwelling there above it between the cherubim. 3 And they carried the ark away from Abinadab’s house at Gabaa, putting it on a newly-made waggon, with Abinadab’s sons, Oza and Ahio, for its drivers. 4 He it was had had charge of it, there in Gabaa, till now; but now they took it away from his house, with Ahio walking before it, 5 while David and the Israelites played music, there in the Lord’s presence, on instruments of rare workmanship, harp and zither and tambour and castanets and cymbals. 6 They had reached the threshing-floor of Nachon, when the oxen began to kick and tilted the ark to one side; whereupon Oza put out his hand and caught hold of it. 7 Rash deed of his, that provoked the divine anger; the Lord smote him, and he died there beside the ark. 8 Great grief it was to David, this ruin the Lord had brought on Oza (the place is still called Oza’s Ruin), 9 and a dread of the Lord came upon him that day; How shall I, he asked, give shelter to the Lord’s ark? 10 No longer was he minded to give it a lodging in David’s Keep; it must find a home with Obededom the Gethite instead. |
2 Surrexitque David, et abiit, et universus populus qui erat cum eo de viris Juda, ut adducerent arcam Dei, super quam invocatum est nomen Domini exercituum, sedentis in cherubim super eam. 3 Et imposuerunt arcam Dei super plaustrum novum: tuleruntque eam de domo Abinadab, qui erat in Gabaa: Oza autem et Ahio, filii Abinadab, minabant plaustrum novum. 4 Cumque tulissent eam de domo Abinadab, qui erat in Gabaa, custodiens arcam Dei Ahio præcedebat arcam. 5 David autem et omnis Israël ludebant coram Domino in omnibus lignis fabrefactis, et citharis et lyris et tympanis et sistris et cymbalis. 6 Postquam autem venerunt ad aream Nachon, extendit Oza manum ad arcam Dei, et tenuit eam: quoniam calcitrabant boves, et declinaverunt eam. 7 Iratusque est indignatione Dominus contra Ozam, et percussit eum super temeritate: qui mortuus est ibi juxta arcam Dei. 8 Contristatus est autem David, eo quod percussisset Dominus Ozam, et vocatum est nomen loci illius: Percussio Ozæ, usque in diem hanc. 9 Et extimuit David Dominum in die illa, dicens: Quomodo ingredietur ad me arca Domini? 10 Et noluit divertere ad se arcam Domini in civitatem David: sed divertit eam in domum Obededom Gethæi. |
