2 Samuel 6

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

And again David gathered every chosen one in 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 rises and goes, and all the people who [are] with him, from Ba‘ale-Judah, to bring up the Ark of God from there, whose name has been called—the Name of YHWH of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubim—on it.

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 cause the Ark of God to ride on a new cart, and lift it up from the house of Abinadab, which [is] in the height, and Uzzah and Ahio sons of Abinadab are leading the new cart;

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

and they lift it up from the house of Abinadab, which [is] in the height, with the Ark of God, and Ahio is going 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 are playing before YHWH, with all kinds of [instruments] of fir-wood, even with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with horns, and with cymbals.

6 Men da de kom til Nakons Tærskeplads, rakte Uzza Haanden ud og greb fat i Guds Ark, fordi Okserne snublede.

And they come to the threshing-floor of Nachon, and Uzzah puts forth [his hand] to the Ark of God, and lays hold on it, for they released the oxen;

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 burns against Uzzah, and God strikes him there for the error, and he dies there by 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 it is displeasing to David, because that YHWH has broken forth a breach on Uzzah, and [one] calls that 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 fears YHWH on that day and says, “How does 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.

And David has not been willing to turn aside the Ark of YHWH to himself, to the City of David, and David turns it aside to 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 inhabits the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite [for] three months, and YHWH blesses Obed-Edom and all his house.

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 is declared to King David, saying, “YHWH has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he has, because of the Ark of God”; and David goes and brings up the Ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with joy.

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

And it comes to pass, when those carrying the Ark of YHWH have stepped six steps, that he sacrifices an ox and a fatling.

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

And David is dancing with all [his] strength before YHWH, and David is 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 are bringing up the Ark of YHWH with shouting, and with the voice of a horn,

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 it has come to pass, the Ark of YHWH has come into the City of David, and Michal daughter of Saul has looked through the window and sees King David moving and dancing before YHWH, and she despises 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 bring in the Ark of YHWH, and set it up in its place, in the midst of the tent which David has spread out for it, and David causes burnt-offerings and peace-offerings to ascend before YHWH.

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

And David finishes from causing the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings to ascend, and blesses 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 apportions to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, from man and to woman, to each, one cake of bread, and one eshpar, and one ashisha, and all the people go, each 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 turns back to bless his house, and Michal daughter of Saul goes out to meet David and says, “How honorable was the king of Israel today, who was uncovered today before the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain ones is openly uncovered!”

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 says to Michal, “Before YHWH, who fixed on me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me leader over the people of YHWH, and over Israel—indeed, I played 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 have been more vile than this, and have been low in my eyes, and with the handmaids whom you have spoken of, I am honored with them.”

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

As for Michal daughter of Saul, she had no child until the day of her death.
