2 Samuel 6
1 David samlede alt udsøgt Mandskab i Israel, 30 000 Mand.
And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 Derpaa brød David op med alle sine Krigere og drog til Ba'al i Juda for der at hente Guds Ark, over hvilken Hærskarers HERRES Navn er nævnet, han, som troner over Keruberne.
And David arose and went, with all the people that were with him of the men of Juda to fetch the ark of God, upon which the name of the Lord of hosts is invoked, who sitteth over it upon the cherubims.
3 De satte da Guds Ark paa en ny Vogn og førte den bort fra Abinadabs Hus paa Højen, og Abinadabs Sønner Uzza og Ajo kørte Vognen,
And they laid the ark of God upon a new cart: and took it out of the house of Abinadab, who was in Gabaa: and Oza, and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4 saaledes at Uzza gik ved Siden af og Ajo foran Guds Ark.
And when they had taken it out of the house of Abinadab, who was in Gabaa, Ahio having care of the ark of God went before the ark.
5 David og hele Israel legede af alle Kræfter for HERRENS Aasyn til Sang og til Citre, Harper, Pauker, Bjælder og Cymbler.
But David and all Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of wood, on harps and lutes and timbrels and cornets and cymbals.
6 Men da de kom til Nakons Tærskeplads, rakte Uzza Haanden ud og greb fat i Guds Ark, fordi Okserne snublede.
And when they came to the floor of Nachon, Oza put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it: because the oxen kicked and made it lean aside.
7 Da blussede HERRENS Vrede op mod Uzza, og Gud slog ham der, fordi han rakte Haanden ud mod Arken, og han døde paa Stedet ved Siden af Guds Ark.
And the indignation of the Lord was enkindled against Oza, and he struck him for his rashness: and he died there before the ark of God.
8 Men David græmmede sig over, at HERREN havde tilføjet Uzza et Brud. Derfor kaldte man Stedet Perez-Uzza, som det hedder den Dag i Dag.
And David was grieved because the Lord had struck Oza, and the name of that place was called: The striking of Oza, to this day.
9 Og David grebes den Dag af Frygt for HERREN og sagde: »Hvor kan da HERRENS Ark komme hen hos mig!«
And David was afraid of the Lord that day, saying: How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?
10 Og David vilde ikke flytte HERRENS Ark hen hos sig i Davidsbyen, men lod den sætte ind i Gatiten Obed-Edoms Hus.
And he would not have the ark of the Lord brought in to himself into the city of David: but he caused it to be carried into the house of Obededom the Gethite.
11 HERRENS Ark blev saa i Gatiten Obed-Edoms Hus tre Maaneder, og HERREN velsignede Obed-Edom og hele hans Hus.
And the ark of the Lord abode in the house of Obededom the Gethite three months: and the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household.
12 Da nu Kong David fik Underretning om, at HERREN for Guds Arks Skyld havde velsignet Obed-Edoms Hus og alt, hvad hans var, gik han hen og lod under Festglæde Guds Ark bringe op fra Obed-Edoms Hus til Davidsbyen.
And it was told king David, that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that he had, because of the ark of God. So David went, and brought away the ark of God out of the house of Obededom into the city of David with joy. And there were with David seven choirs, and calves for victims.
13 Og da de, som bar HERRENS Ark, havde gaaet seks Skridt, ofrede han en Okse og en Fedekalv.
And when they that carried the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a ram:
14 Og David dansede af alle Kræfter for HERRENS Aasyn, iført en linned Efod.
And David danced with all his might before the Lord: and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15 Saaledes bragte David og hele Israel HERRENS Ark op under Festjubel og Hornblæsning.
And David and all the house of Israel brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord with joyful shouting, and with sound of trumpet.
16 Men da HERRENS Ark kom til Davidsbyen, saa Sauls Datter Mikal ud af Vinduet; og da hun saa Kong David springe og danse for HERRENS Aasyn, ringeagtede hun ham i sit Hjerte.
And when the ark of the Lord was come into the city of David, Michol the daughter of Saul, looking out through a window, saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord: and she despised him in her heart.
17 De førte saa HERRENS Ark ind og stillede den paa Plads midt i det Telt, David havde rejst den, og David ofrede Brændofre og Takofre for HERRENS Aasyn.
And they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it: and David offered holocausts, and peace offerings before the Lord.
18 Og da David var færdig med Brændofrene og Takofrene, velsignede han Folket i Hærskarers HERRES Navn
And when he had made an end of offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19 og uddelte til alt Folket, til hver enkelt af hele Israels Mængde, baade Mand og Kvinde, et Brød, et Stykke Kød og en Rosinkage; derpaa gik alt Folket hver til sit.
And he distributed to all the multitude of Israel both men and women, to every one, a cake of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and fine flour fried with oil: and all the people departed every one to his house.
20 Men da David vendte hjem for at velsigne sit Hus, gik Sauls Datter Mikal ham i Møde og sagde: »Hvor ærbart Israels Konge opførte sig i Dag, da han blottede sig for sine Undersaatters Trælkvinders Øjne, som letfærdige Mennesker plejer at gøre!«
And David returned to bless his own house: and Michol the daughter of Saul coming out to meet David, said: How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself before the handmaids of his servants, and was naked, as if one of the buffoons should be naked.
21 David svarede Mikal: »For HERRENS Aasyn vil jeg lege, saa sandt HERREN lever, som udvalgte mig fremfor din Fader og hele hans Hus, saa han satte mig til Fyrste over HERRENS Folk Israel; jeg vil lege for HERRENS Aasyn,
And David said to Michol: Before the Lord, who chose me rather than thy father, and than all his house, and commanded me to be ruler over the people of the Lord in Israel,
22 selv om jeg derved nedværdiges og synker endnu dybere i dine Øjne; men hos Trælkvinderne, du talte om, skal jeg vinde Ære!«
I will both play and make myself meaner than I have done: and I will be little in my own eyes: and with the handmaid of whom thou speakest, I shall appear more glorious.
23 Og Sauls Datter Mikal fik til sin Dødedag intet Barn.
Therefore Michol the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
