< 2 Samuelova 6 >

1 Jednoga dana David opet skupi svu izabranu momčad u Izraelu, trideset tisuća ljudi.
And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 Zatim David i sva vojska što je bila s njim krenu na put i odoše u Baalu Judinu da odande donesu Kovčeg Božji, što nosi ime Jahve Sebaota koji stoluje nad kerubinima.
And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him, from Baale-judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whereupon is called the Name, even the name of the LORD of hosts that sitteth upon the cherubim.
3 Kovčeg Božji metnuše na nova kola, iznijevši ga iz kuće Abinadabove, koja je stajala na brežuljku. Uza i Ahjo, Abinadabovi sinovi, pratili su kola.
And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4 Uza je stupao kraj Kovčega Božjeg, a Ahjo išao pred njim.
And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in the hill, with the ark of God, and Ahio went before the ark.
5 David i sav dom Izraelov igrahu pred Jahvom iz sve snage pjevajući uza zvuke citara, harfa, bubnjeva, udaraljki i cimbala.
And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD with all manner of instruments made of cypress-wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with sistra, and with cymbals.
6 Kad su došli do Nakonova gumna, posegnu Uza rukom za Kovčegom Božjim da ga pridrži jer ga volovi umalo ne prevrnuše.
And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen stumbled.
7 Ali se Jahve razgnjevio na Uzu: Bog ga na mjestu udari za taj prijestup, tako da je umro ondje, kraj Kovčega Božjega.
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
8 Davidu bijaše žao što je Jahve onako udario Uzu, i on prozva ono mjesto Peres Uza, kako se zove i dan-danas.
And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth upon Uzzah; and that place was called Perez-uzzah, unto this day
9 Toga se dana David uplaši Jahve i reče u sebi: “Kako bi mogao doći k meni Kovčeg Jahvin?”
And David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said: 'How shall the ark of the LORD come unto me?'
10 Zato David ne htjede dovesti Kovčeg Jahvin k sebi, u Davidov grad, nego ga otpremi u kuću Obed-Edoma iz Gata.
So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
11 I ostade Jahvin Kovčeg u kući Obed-Edomovoj u Gatu tri mjeseca i Jahve blagoslovi Obed-Edoma i svu njegovu obitelj.
And the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months; and the LORD blessed Obed-edom, and all his house.
12 Kad su kralju javili da je Jahve blagoslovio Obed-Edomovu obitelj i sav njegov posjed zbog Kovčega Božjeg, ode David i ponese Kovčeg Božji iz Obed-Edomove kuće gore u Davidov grad s velikim veseljem.
And it was told king David, saying: 'The LORD hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God.' And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with joy.
13 Tek što su nosioci Kovčega Božjeg pokročili šest koraka, David žrtvova vola i tovna ovna.
And it was so, that when they that bore the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.
14 David je igrao iz sve snage pred Jahvom, a bio je ogrnut samo lanenim oplećkom.
And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15 Tako su David i sav Izraelov dom nosili gore Kovčeg Jahvin kličući i trubeći u rog.
So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the horn.
16 A kad je Kovčeg Jahvin ulazio u Davidov grad, Šaulova je kći Mikala gledala kroz prozor i vidjela kralja Davida kako skače i vrti se pred Jahvom i prezre ga ona u svome srcu.
And it was so, as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
17 Tada unesoše Kovčeg Jahvin i postaviše ga usred šatora koji mu bijaše razapeo David. Onda David prinese pred Jahvom paljenice i pričesnice.
And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the LORD.
18 Pošto je prinio paljenice i pričesnice, David blagoslovi narod imenom Jahve Sebaota.
And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.
19 Potom razdijeli među sav narod, među sve mnoštvo Izraelovo, ljudima i ženama, svakome po jedan kruh, komad mesa i kolač od suhoga grožđa. Zatim se raziđe sav narod, svaki svojoj kući.
And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a cake made in a pan, and a sweet cake. So all the people departed every one to his house.
20 Kad se David vratio kući da blagoslovi svoju obitelj, Šaulova kći Mikala iziđe u susret Davidu i reče mu: “Kako se časno danas ponio Izraelov kralj kad se otkrio pred očima sluškinja slugu svojih kao što se otkriva prost čovjek!”
Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said: 'How did the king of Israel get him honour to-day, who uncovered himself to-day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!'
21 Ali David odgovori Mikali: “Pred Jahvom ja igram! Tako mi živoga Jahve, koji me izabrao mjesto tvog oca i mjesto svega njegova doma da me postavi za kneza nad Izraelom, narodom Jahvinim: pred Jahvom ću igrati!
And David said unto Michal: 'Before the LORD, who chose me above thy father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of the LORD, over Israel, before the LORD will I make merry.
22 I još ću se dublje poniziti. Bit ću neznatan u tvojim očima, ali pred sluškinjama o kojima govoriš, pred njima ću biti u časti.”
And I will be yet more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight; and with the handmaids whom thou hast spoken of, with them will I get me honour.'
23 A Mikala, Šaulova kći, ne imade poroda do dana svoje smrti.
And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
