2 Samuel 6

1 Derefter samlede David atter alle udvalgte i Israel, tredive Tusinde.

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

2 Og David gjorde sig rede og gik hen, han og alt Folket, som var hos ham, fra Baale-Juda, for derfra at føre Guds Ark op, over hvilken der nævnes et Navn, den Herre Zebaoths Navn, som sidder over Keruber.

And David arose, and went with all the people who were with him to Baalah, that is, Kiriath Jearim of Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called there by the name of the LORD enthroned on the cherubim.

3 Og de førte Guds Ark paa en ny Vogn og toge den fra Abinadabs Hus, som var paa Højen; men Ussa og Ahio, Abinadabs Sønner, førte den nye Vogn.

And they set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was on the hill. And Uzza and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, guided the cart

4 Saa toge de den fra Abinadabs Hus, som var paa Højen, og fulgte med Guds Ark; men Ahio gik foran Arken.

with the ark; and Ahio was walking in front of the ark.

5 Da legede David og alt Israels Hus for Herrens Ansigt med alle Haande Strengeleg af Fyrretræ, med Harper og med Citere og med Trommer og med Bjælder og med Cymbler.

And David and the children of Israel played before the LORD with all their strength and with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with castanets, and with cymbals.

6 Og der de kom til Nakons Lade, da udrakte Ussa Haanden til Guds Ark og greb fat paa den; thi Øksnene vege ud af Sporet.

And when they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzza reached out his hand to the ark of God, to steady it; for the oxen stumbled.

7 Da optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Ussa, og Gud slog ham der for hans Forseelses Skyld, og han døde der ved Guds Ark.

And the LORD became angry at Uzza; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died before God.

8 Da blev David ilde tilfreds, fordi Herren havde gjort et Skaar paa Ussa, og man kaldte det Sted Perez-Ussa indtil denne Dag.

And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.

9 Og David frygtede for Herren samme Dag og sagde: Hvorledes skal Herrens Ark komme til mig?

And David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, "How can the ark of God come to me?" Now the ark of the LORD arrived,

10 Og David vilde ikke føre Herrens Ark til sig i Davids Stad; men David lod den føre hen til Githiteren Obed-Edoms Hus.

but David was not willing to move the ark of the LORD with him to the City of David; so David diverted it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

11 Og Herrens Ark blev tre Maaneder i Githiteren Obed-Edoms Hus, og Herren velsignede Obed-Edom og alt hans Hus.

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 Og det blev Kong David tilkendegivet, idet der sagdes: Herren har velsignet Obed-Edoms Hus og alt det, han har, for Guds Arks Skyld; da gik David hen og førte Guds Ark op af Obed-Edoms Hus til Davids Stad med Glæde.

And it was told king David, saying, "The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him because of the ark of God." And David said, "I will bring back the blessing to my house." And David went and brought up the ark of the LORD from the house of Obed-Edom into the City of David with joy.

13 Og det skete, naar de, som bare Herrens Ark, vare gaaede seks Trin, da ofrede man Øksne og fedt Kvæg.

And it was so, that, when those who bore the ark had gone six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.

14 Og David dansede af alle Kræfter for Herren Ansigt, og David var iført en linnet Livkjortel.

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

15 Saa førte David og alt Israels Hus Herrens Ark op med Frydeskrig og med Basuns Lyd.

And David and all Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

16 Og det skete, der Herrens Ark kom i Davids Stad, da saa Mikal, Sauls Datter, ud igennem Vinduet og saa Kong David springe af alle Kræfter for Herrens Ansigt, og hun foragtede ham i sit Hjerte.

Now, as the ark entered the City of David, Mikal 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 Og de førte Herrens Ark ind og satte den paa sit Sted midt i Paulunet, som David havde opslaaet til den; og David ofrede Brændofre og Takofre for Herrens Ansigt.

And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had set up for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

18 Der David var færdig med at ofre Brændofre og Takofre, da velsignede han Folket i den Herre Zebaoths Navn.

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 Og han uddelte til alt Folket og til al Israels Mangfoldighed, baade Mand og Kvinde, til hver en Brødkage og et godt Stykke Kød og en Rosinkage; da gik alt Folket bort, hver til sit Hus.

And he gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. So all the people departed everyone to his house.

20 Der David kom tilbage for at velsigne sit Hus, da gik Mikal, Sauls Datter, ud imod David og sagde: Hvor æret var Israels Konge i Dag, som blottede sig i Dag for sine Tjeneres Tjenestepigers Øjne, ligesom en af løse Folk ubluelig blotter sig.

And then David returned to bless his household. Mikal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David. And she greeted him, and said, "How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the servants of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself."

21 Da sagde David til Mikal: Det gjorde jeg for Herrens Ansigt, hans, som mig udvalgte fremfor din Fader og fremfor alt hans Hus, saa han befalede mig at være en Fyrste over Herrens Folk, over Israel, og jeg har leget for Herrens Ansigt.

And David said to Mikal, "I was dancing before the LORD. Blessed be the LORD, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over his people Israel; therefore I will celebrate before the LORD.

22 Og jeg vil endnu blive ringere end saa og ydmyge mig i mine egne Øjne; og de Tjenestepiger, som du talede om, med dem vil jeg æres.

And I will be yet more vile than this, and will be lowly in your eyes. But of the servants of whom you have spoken, they shall honor me."

23 Men Mikal, Sauls Datter, fik ikke noget Barn indtil sin Dødsdag.

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