2 Samuel 6

The Ark Brought to Jerusalem

1David again brought together all the able young men of Israel—thirty thousand. 2He and all his men went to Baalah#6:2 That is, Kiriath Jearim (see 1 Chron. 13:6) in Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name,#6:2 Hebrew; Septuagint and Vulgate do not have the Name. the name of the Lord Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim on the ark. 3They set the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart 4with the ark of God on it,#6:3,4 Dead Sea Scrolls and some Septuagint manuscripts; Masoretic Text cart 4 and they brought it with the ark of God from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill and Ahio was walking in front of it. 5David and all Israel were celebrating with all their might before the Lord, with castanets,#6:5 Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint (see also 1 Chron. 13:8) songs harps, lyres, timbrels, sistrums and cymbals.

6When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled. 7The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down, and he died there beside the ark of God.

8Then David was angry because the Lord’s wrath had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah.#6:8 Perez Uzzah means outbreak against Uzzah.

9David was afraid of the Lord that day and said, “How can the ark of the Lord ever come to me?” 10He was not willing to take the ark of the Lord to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. 11The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite for three months, and the Lord blessed him and his entire household.

12Now King David was told, “The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and everything he has, because of the ark of God.” So David went to bring up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with rejoicing. 13When those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf. 14Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, 15while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of trumpets.

16As the ark of the Lord was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart.

17They brought the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and David sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before the Lord. 18After he had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord Almighty. 19Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women. And all the people went to their homes.

20When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, going around half-naked in full view of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!”

21David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the Lord’s people Israel—I will celebrate before the Lord. 22I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.”

23And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.

2 SAMUELE 6

Areka ya selekane e tliswa Jerusalema

(1 Dik. 13:1-14; 15:25 — 16:6,43)

1Davida a boela a kgobokanya mokgetho wohle wa banna ba Iseraele, ba dikete tse mashome a mararo; 2a ema, a tsamaya le setjhaba sohle se neng se ena le yena. O ne a eya Baala e Juda, ho ya lata areka ya Modimo hona teng, e nang le lebitso, e leng lebitso la Morena wa mabotho, ya dutseng hodima dikerubime. 3Ba bea areka ya Modimo hodima kariki e ntjha, ba e ntsha ka tlung ya Abinadabe e neng e le leralleng. Bo-Usa le Ako, bara ba Abinadabe, ba qhoba kariki eo e ntjha. 4Ba ntsha areka ka tlung ya Abinadabe, e neng e le leralleng, mme Ako a etella areka eo ya Modimo pele. 5Davida le bohle ba ntlo ya Iseraele ba etsa motjeko kapele ho Morena, ba letsa diletsa tsa mefutafuta tse entsweng ka sefate sa modutu; ba letsa le diharepa, le dikatara, le meropa, le merutlhwana, le matlheretlhere.

6Ha ba fihla seotlong sa Nakone, Usa a otlollela letsoho la hae arekeng ya Modimo, a e tshwara, hobane dipholo di ne di kgothometseha. 7Bohale ba Morena ba tlokomela Usa, mme Modimo a mmolaya ka baka la ho ama areka. A shwela hona moo pela areka ya Modimo.

8Davida a tshwenyeha haholo, hobane Morena o ne a bolaile Usa; yaba sebaka seo o se rea lebitso la Kotlo ya Usa, mme le kajeno-ya-bokajeno se ntse se bitswa jwalo.

9Ka lona letsatsi leo Davida a tshaba Morena, mme a re: “Ekaba areka ya Morena e tla ya jwang ha ka?” 10Yaba Davida o se a tshaba ha areka ya Morena e iswa Motseng wa Davida, mme a e isa tlung ya Obede-Edomo wa Mogate. 11Areka eo ya Morena ya qeta kgwedi tse tharo e le ha Obede-Edomo wa Mogate. Morena a hlohonolofatsa Obede-Edomo le bohle ba ntlo ya hae.

12Jwale Kgosi Davida a tsebiswa, ha thwe: “Morena o hlohonolofaditse lelapa la Obede-Edomo, le tsohle tseo e leng tsa hae, ka baka la areka ya Modimo.” Davida a tsamaya, a ya lata areka ya Modimo tlung ya Obede-Edomo, a e isa Motseng wa Davida ka thabo. 13Yare ha ba jereng areka ya Morena, ba tsamaile mehato e tsheletseng feela, Davida a nyehella Morena ka sehlabelo sa pholo le namane e nontshitsweng. 14Davida a apara setipe se entsweng ka lesela la lene, a hobela ka matla a hae kaofela, a isa hlompho ho Morena. 15Yaba Davida le bohle ba ntlo ya Iseraele, ba nyolla areka ya Morena ka mehoo le ka ho letsa lenaka.

16Ha areka ya Morena e kena Motseng wa Davida, Mikale, moradi wa Saule, a sheba ka fesetere, mme a bona kgosi Davida a ntse a tlala, a etsa menyakwe kapele ho Morena; a mo nyedisa ka pelong ya hae.

17Ba tlisa areka ya Morena, ba e bea ditulong tsa yona, bohareng ba tente eo Davida a neng a e hlometse yona. Davida a etsetsa Morena dinyehelo tsa setjheso, le dinyehelo tsa teboho. 18Hoba Davida a qete ho etsa dinyehelo tsa setjheso, le dinyehelo tsa teboho, yaba o hlohonolofatsa setjhaba ka lebitso la Morena wa mabotho. 19Jwale a abela e mong le e mong wa setjhaba sohle, le letshwele lohle la Baiseraele, banna le basadi, leqebekwane la bohobe, le leqa la nama e besitsweng, le leqebekwane la mangangajane a morara. Yaba setjhaba sohle se a qhalana, e mong le e mong o ya ha hae.

20Ha Davida a kgutlela lapeng ho ya hlohonolofatsa lelapa la hae, Mikale, moradi wa Saule, a tswa ho kgahlanyetsa Davida, mme a re: “Kajeno kgosi ya Iseraele ya tla ya itlhompha bo! E ile ya ipeketla kapele ho makgabunyane a bahlanka ba yona, jwaloka e mong wa bafo ha a ipeketla a se na dihlong!”

21Yaba Davida o re ho Mikale: “Ke ne ke hobella Morena ya nkgethileng ho ena le ntatao le ba ntlo ya hae yohle, hore ke be kgosi ya setjhaba sa Morena sa Baiseraele; ke ka baka leo ke neng ke hobela kapele ho Morena. 22Ke hona ke sa tla itlotlolla le ho feta mona, ke be ke bone hore ke itheoletse fatshe, empa makgabunyane ao, ao o buang ka wona, wona a tla ntlhompha.”

23Mikale, moradi wa Saule, ha a ka a ba le ngwana ho fihlela a eshwa.
