2 Samuel 6

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

Now 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.

David arose and went with all his men who were with him from Baalah in Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of Yahweh of hosts, who sits enthroned over 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.

They set the ark of God on a new cart. They brought it out of Abinadab's house, which was on a hill. Uzzah and Ahio, his sons, were guiding the new cart.

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

They brought the cart out of Abinadab's house on the hill with the ark of God on it. 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.

Then David and all the house of Israel began to play before Yahweh, celebrating with wooden instruments, harps, lyres, tambourines, rattles, and 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.

When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out with his hand to grab the ark of God, and he took hold of it.

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

Then the anger of Yahweh burned against Uzzah. God attacked him there for his sin. Uzzah died there by the ark of 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.

David was angry because Yahweh had attacked Uzzah, and he called the name of that place Perez Uzzah. That place is called Perez Uzza to this day.

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

David was afraid of Yahweh that day. He said, “How can the ark of Yahweh come to me?”

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

So David was not willing to take the ark of Yahweh with him into the city of David. Instead, he put it aside in 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.

The ark of Yahweh remained in the house of Obed Edom the Gittite for three months. So Yahweh blessed him and all his household.

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.

Now King David was told, “Yahweh has blessed Obed Edom's house and everything that belongs to him because of the ark of God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from Obed Edom's house to 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.

When those who were carrying the ark of Yahweh 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.

David danced before Yahweh with all his might; he was wearing only a linen ephod.

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

So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of Yahweh with shouting and the sound of trumpets.

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 of Yahweh came into the city of David, Michal, daughter of Saul, looked out the window. She saw King David leaping and dancing before Yahweh. Then 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.

They brought in the ark of Yahweh and put it in its place, in the middle of the tent that David had set up for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before Yahweh.

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

When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and the fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh 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.

Then he distributed among all the people, the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins. Then all the people left; each one returned to his own 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.

Then David returned to bless his family. Michal, the daughter of Saul, came out to meet David and said, “How honored the king of Israel was today, who undressed himself today before the eyes of the slave girls among his servants, like one of the crude fellows who shamelessly undresses 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.

David responded to Michal, “I did that before Yahweh, who chose me above your father and above all his family, who appointed me leader over the people of Yahweh, over Israel. Before Yahweh I will be joyful!

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.

I will be even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you have spoken about, I will be honored.”

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

So Michal, the daughter of Saul, had no children to the day of her death.
