| 1 | Kun Daavid oli neuvotellut tuhannen- ja sadanpäälliköiden, kaikkien johtomiesten kanssa, | Then David had discussions with the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds and with every chief. |
| 2 | Koolla olleet vastasivat, että niin oli tehtävä. Kaikkien mielestä se oli oikein. | And David said to all the men of Israel who had come together there, If it seems good to you and if it is the purpose of the Lord our God, let us send to all the rest of our brothers, everywhere in the land of Israel, and to the priests and the Levites in their towns and the country round them, and get them to come together here to us; |
| 3 | Daavid kokosi israelilaiset koko maasta, Egyptin rajapurolta aina Lebo-Hamatiin saakka, hakemaan Jumalan liitonarkkua Kirjat-Jearimista. | And let us get back for ourselves the ark of our God: for in the days of Saul we did not go to it for directions. |
| 4 | Sitten hän ja koko Israel lähtivät Baalaan, Juudan Kirjat- Jearimiin, hakeakseen sieltä Herralle Jumalalle pyhitetyn liitonarkun, jota kerubit varjoavat. | And all the people said they would do so, for it seemed right to them. |
| 5 mapa | He nostivat Jumalan arkun Abinadabin talosta uusiin vaunuihin. Ussa ja Ahjo lähtivät ajamaan vaunuja, | So David sent for all Israel to come together, from Shihor, the river of Egypt, as far as the way into Hamath, to get the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim. |
| 6 mapa | ja Daavid ja kaikki israelilaiset karkeloivat riemuissaan Jumalan edessä ja lauloivat soittaen lyyraa ja harppua, rumpuja, symbaaleja ja torvia. | And David went up, with all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim in Judah, to get up from there the ark of God, over which the holy Name is named, the name of the Lord whose place is between the winged ones. |
| 7 | Mutta kun he saapuivat Kidonin puimatantereen kohdalle, härät alkoivat vikuroida, ja Ussa tarttui arkkuun tukeakseen sitä. | And they put the ark of God on a new cart, and took it out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio were the drivers of the cart. |
| 8 | Silloin Ussaa kohtasi Herran viha. Herra löi häntä, koska hän oli koskenut arkkuun, ja niin Ussa kuoli siellä Jumalan edessä. | Then David and all Israel made melody before God with all their strength, with songs and corded instruments of music, and with brass instruments and horns. |
| 9 | Daavid kauhistui, kun Herra oli näin musertanut Ussan. Paikka sai nimekseen Peres-Ussa, ja tätä nimeä siitä käytetään vielä nytkin. | And when they came to the grain-floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to keep the ark in its place, for the oxen were slipping. |
| 10 | Siksi hän ei vienyt arkkua Daavidin kaupunkiin vaan jätti sen gatilaisen Obed-Edomin taloon. | And the wrath of the Lord, burning against Uzza, sent destruction on him because he had put his hand on the ark, and death came to him there before God. |
| 11 mapa | Jumalan arkku oli kolmen kuukauden ajan Obed-Edomin perheen huostassa hänen talossaan, ja Herra siunasi Obed- Edomin perhettä ja kaikkea mitä hänellä oli. | And David was angry because of the Lord's outburst of wrath against Uzza, and he gave that place the name Perez-uzza, to this day. |
| 12 | And so great was David's fear of God that day, that he said, How may I let the ark of God come to me? | |
| 13 | So David did not let the ark come back to him to the town of David, but had it turned away and put into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. | |
| 14 | And the ark of God was in the house of Obed-edom for three months; and the Lord sent a blessing on the house of Obed-edom and on all he had. |
