2 Samuel 6
1 And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
Derefter samlede David atter alle udvalgte i Israel, tredive Tusinde.
2 And David arose, and went with all the people who were with him, from Baale-judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, even the name of Jehovah of hosts who sits above the cherubim.
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.
3 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was on the hill. And Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
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.
4 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill, with the ark of God, and Ahio went before the ark.
Saa toge de den fra Abinadabs Hus, som var paa Højen, og fulgte med Guds Ark; men Ahio gik foran Arken.
5 And David and all the house of Israel played before Jehovah with all manner of instruments of fir-wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with castanets, and with cymbals.
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.
6 And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth to the ark of God, and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled.
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.
7 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzzah, and God smote him there for his error, and he died there by the ark of God.
Da optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Ussa, og Gud slog ham der for hans Forseelses Skyld, og han døde der ved Guds Ark.
8 And David was displeased, because Jehovah had broken forth upon Uzzah. And he called that place Perez-uzzah, to this day.
Da blev David ilde tilfreds, fordi Herren havde gjort et Skaar paa Ussa, og man kaldte det Sted Perez-Ussa indtil denne Dag.
9 And David was afraid of Jehovah that day, and he said, How shall the ark of Jehovah come to me?
Og David frygtede for Herren samme Dag og sagde: Hvorledes skal Herrens Ark komme til mig?
10 So David would not remove the ark of Jehovah to him into the city of David, but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
Og David vilde ikke føre Herrens Ark til sig i Davids Stad; men David lod den føre hen til Githiteren Obed-Edoms Hus.
11 And the ark of Jehovah remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months, and Jehovah blessed Obed-edom, and all his house.
Og Herrens Ark blev tre Maaneder i Githiteren Obed-Edoms Hus, og Herren velsignede Obed-Edom og alt hans Hus.
12 And it was told king David, saying, Jehovah has blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertains to him, because of the ark of God. And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with joy.
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.
13 And it was so, that, when those who bore the ark of Jehovah had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.
Og det skete, naar de, som bare Herrens Ark, vare gaaede seks Trin, da ofrede man Øksne og fedt Kvæg.
14 And David danced before Jehovah with all his might. And David was girded with a linen ephod.
Og David dansede af alle Kræfter for Herren Ansigt, og David var iført en linnet Livkjortel.
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
Saa førte David og alt Israels Hus Herrens Ark op med Frydeskrig og med Basuns Lyd.
16 And it was so, as the ark of Jehovah came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before Jehovah, and she despised him in her heart.
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.
17 And they brought in the ark of Jehovah, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it. And David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Jehovah.
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.
18 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah of hosts.
Der David var færdig med at ofre Brændofre og Takofre, da velsignede han Folket i den Herre Zebaoths Navn.
19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a portion of flesh, and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed every one to his house.
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.
20 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 today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!
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.
21 And David said to Michal, It was before Jehovah, who chose me above thy father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of Jehovah, over Israel. Therefore I will play before Jehovah.
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.
22 And I will be yet more vile than this, and will be base in my own sight, but of the handmaids of whom thou have spoken, of them I shall be had in honor.
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.
23 And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
Men Mikal, Sauls Datter, fik ikke noget Barn indtil sin Dødsdag.
