صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 6

١ 1 وَجَمَعَ دَاوُدُ أَيْضًا جَمِيعَ ٱلْمُنْتَخَبِينَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا.

David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

٢ 2 وَقَامَ دَاوُدُ وَذَهَبَ هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ مِنْ بَعَلَةِ يَهُوذَا، لِيُصْعِدُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ، ٱلَّذِي يُدْعَى عَلَيْهِ بِٱلٱسْمِ، ٱسْمِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ.

David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale Judah, to bring up from there God’s ark, which is called by the Name, even the name of the LORD of Hosts who sits above the cherubim.

٣ 3 فَأَرْكَبُوا تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ عَلَى عَجَلَةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ، وَحَمَلُوهُ مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِينَادَابَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْأَكَمَةِ. وَكَانَ عُزَّةُ وَأَخِيُو، ٱبْنَا أَبِينَادَابَ يَسُوقَانِ ٱلْعَجَلَةَ ٱلْجَدِيدَةَ.

They set God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house that was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.

٤ 4 فَأَخَذُوهَا مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِينَادَابَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْأَكَمَةِ مَعَ تَابُوتِ ٱللهِ. وَكَانَ أَخِيُو يَسِيرُ أَمَامَ ٱلتَّابُوتِ،

They brought it out of Abinadab’s house which was in the hill, with God’s ark; and Ahio went before the ark.

٥ 5 وَدَاوُدُ وَكُلُّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَلْعَبُونَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ بِكُلِّ أَنْوَاعِ ٱلْآلَاتِ مِنْ خَشَبِ ٱلسَّرْوِ، بِٱلْعِيدَانِ وَبِالرَّبَابِ وَبِالدُّفُوفِ وَبِالْجُنُوكِ وَبِالصُّنُوجِ.

David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD with all kinds of instruments made of cypress wood, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with castanets, and with cymbals.

٦ 6 وَلَمَّا ٱنْتَهَوْا إِلَى بَيْدَرِ نَاخُونَ مَدَّ عُزَّةُ يَدَهُ إِلَى تَابُوتِ ٱللهِ وَأَمْسَكَهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلثِّيرَانَ ٱنْشَمَصَتْ.

When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached for God’s ark and took hold of it, for the cattle stumbled.

٧ 7 فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى عُزَّةَ، وَضَرَبَهُ ٱللهُ هُنَاكَ لِأَجْلِ غَفَلِهِ، فَمَاتَ هُنَاكَ لَدَى تَابُوتِ ٱللهِ.

The LORD’s anger burned against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by God’s ark.

٨ 8 فَٱغْتَاظَ دَاوُدُ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱقْتَحَمَ عُزَّةَ ٱقْتِحَامًا، وَسَمَّى ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ «فَارِصَ عُزَّةَ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

David was displeased because the LORD had broken out against Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah to this day.

٩ 9 وَخَافَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَقَالَ: «كَيْفَ يَأْتِي إِلَيَّ تَابُوتُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟»

David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, “How could the LORD’s ark come to me?”

١٠ 10 وَلَمْ يَشَأْ دَاوُدُ أَنْ يَنْقُلَ تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيْهِ، إِلَى مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، فَمَالَ بِهِ دَاوُدُ إِلَى بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ ٱلْجَتِّيِّ.

So David would not move the LORD’s ark to be with him in David’s city; but David carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.

١١ 11 وَبَقِيَ تَابُوتُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ ٱلْجَتِّيِّ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. وَبَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ وَكُلَّ بَيْتِهِ.

The LORD’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and the LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.

١٢ 12 فَأُخْبِرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «قَدْ بَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْتَ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ، وَكُلَّ مَا لَهُ بِسَبَبِ تَابُوتِ ٱللهِ». فَذَهَبَ دَاوُدُ وَأَصْعَدَ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ مِنْ بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ بِفَرَحٍ.

King David was told, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that belongs to him, because of God’s ark.” So David went and brought up God’s ark from the house of Obed-Edom into David’s city with joy.

١٣ 13 وَكَانَ كُلَّمَا خَطَا حَامِلُو تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ سِتَّ خَطَوَاتٍ يَذْبَحُ ثَوْرًا وَعِجْلًا مَعْلُوفًا.

When those who bore the LORD’s ark had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.

١٤ 14 وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَرْقُصُ بِكُلِّ قُوَّتِهِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ مُتَنَطِّقًا بِأَفُودٍ مِنْ كَتَّانٍ.

David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.

١٥ 15 فَأَصْعَدَ دَاوُدُ وَجَمِيعُ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ بِٱلْهُتَافِ وَبِصَوْتِ ٱلْبُوقِ.

So David and all the house of Israel brought up the LORD’s ark with shouting and with the sound of the shofar.

١٦ 16 وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ تَابُوتُ ٱلرَّبِّ مَدِينَةَ دَاوُدَ، أَشْرَفَتْ مِيكَالُ بِنْتُ شَاوُلَ مِنَ ٱلْكُوَّةِ وَرَأَتِ ٱلْمَلِكَ دَاوُدَ يَطْفُرُ وَيَرْقُصُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَٱحْتَقَرَتْهُ فِي قَلْبِهَا.

As the LORD’s ark came into David’s city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out through the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

١٧ 17 فَأَدْخَلُوا تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَوْقَفُوهُ فِي مَكَانِهِ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ ٱلَّتِي نَصَبَهَا لَهُ دَاوُدُ. وَأَصْعَدَ دَاوُدُ مُحْرَقَاتٍ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ.

They brought in the LORD’s ark, and set it in its place in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

١٨ 18 وَلَمَّا ٱنْتَهَى دَاوُدُ مِنْ إِصْعَادِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَذَبَائِحِ ٱلسَّلَامَةِ بَارَكَ ٱلشَّعْبَ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ.

When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Hosts.

١٩ 19 وَقَسَمَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، عَلَى كُلِّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ رِجَالًا وَنِسَاءً، عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ رَغِيفَ خُبْزٍ وَكَأْسَ خَمْرٍ وَقُرْصَ زَبِيبٍ. ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ،

He gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, dates, and raisins. So all the people departed, each to his own house.

٢٠ 20 وَرَجَعَ دَاوُدُ لِيُبَارِكَ بَيْتَهُ. فَخَرَجَتْ مِيكَالُ بِنْتُ شَاوُلَ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِ دَاوُدَ، وَقَالَتْ: «مَا كَانَ أَكْرَمَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْيَوْمَ، حَيْثُ تَكَشَّفَ ٱلْيَوْمَ فِي أَعْيُنِ إِمَاءِ عَبِيدِهِ كَمَا يَتَكَشَّفُ أَحَدُ ٱلسُّفَهَاءِ».

Then David returned to bless his household. Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”

٢١ 21 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِمِيكَالَ: «إِنَّمَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَارَنِي دُونَ أَبِيكِ وَدُونَ كُلَّ بَيْتِهِ لِيُقِيمَنِي رَئِيسًا عَلَى شَعْبِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَلَعِبْتُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

David said to Michal, “It was before the LORD, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of the LORD, over Israel. Therefore I will celebrate before the LORD.

٢٢ 22 وَإِنِّي أَتَصَاغَرُ دُونَ ذَلِكَ وَأَكُونُ وَضِيعًا فِي عَيْنَيْ نَفْسِي، وَأَمَّا عِنْدَ ٱلْإِمَاءِ ٱلَّتِي ذَكَرْتِ فَأَتَمَجَّدُ».

I will be yet more undignified than this, and will be worthless in my own sight. But the maids of whom you have spoken will honor me.”

٢٣ 23 وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِمِيكَالَ بِنْتِ شَاوُلَ وَلَدٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ مَوْتِهَا.

Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
