2 Samuel 6

1 David samlede alt udsøgt Mandskab i Israel, 30 000 Mand.

Again, David 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 from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of Elohim, whose name is called by the name of YHWH of hosts that dwelleth between 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 set the ark of Elohim upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.

4 saaledes at Uzza gik ved Siden af og Ajo foran Guds Ark.

And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of Elohim: and Ahio 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.

And David and all the house of Israel played before YHWH on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on 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 Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of Elohim, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.

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 anger of YHWH was kindled against Uzzah; and Elohim smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of Elohim.

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 displeased, because YHWH had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perez-uzzah 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 YHWH that day, and said, How shall the ark of YHWH 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.

So David would not remove the ark of YHWH unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

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 YHWH continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and YHWH blessed Obed-edom, 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, saying, YHWH hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of Elohim. So David went and brought up the ark of Elohim from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.

13 Og da de, som bar HERRENS Ark, havde gaaet seks Skridt, ofrede han en Okse og en Fedekalv.

And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of YHWH had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

14 Og David dansede af alle Kræfter for HERRENS Aasyn, iført en linned Efod.

And David danced before YHWH with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

15 Saaledes bragte David og hele Israel HERRENS Ark op under Festjubel og Hornblæsning.

So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of YHWH with shouting, and with the sound of the 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 as the ark of YHWH came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before YHWH; 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 in the ark of YHWH, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before YHWH.

18 Og da David var færdig med Brændofrene og Takofrene, velsignede han Folket i Hærskarers HERRES Navn

And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of YHWH 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 dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So 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!«

Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel 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 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 unto Michal, It was before YHWH, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of YHWH, over Israel: therefore will I play before YHWH.

22 selv om jeg derved nedværdiges og synker endnu dybere i dine Øjne; men hos Trælkvinderne, du talte om, skal jeg vinde Ære!«

And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

23 Og Sauls Datter Mikal fik til sin Dødedag intet Barn.

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