2 Samuel 6
1 David again assembled the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand in all.
Jednoga dana David opet skupi svu izabranu momčad u Izraelu, trideset tisuća ljudi.
2 And he and all his troops set out for Baale of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name— the name of the LORD of Hosts, who is enthroned between the cherubim that are on it.
Zatim David i sva vojska što je bila s njim krenu na put i odoše u Baalu Judinu da odande donesu Kovčeg Božji, što nosi ime Jahve Sebaota koji stoluje nad kerubinima.
3 They set the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart,
Kovčeg Božji metnuše na nova kola, iznijevši ga iz kuće Abinadabove, koja je stajala na brežuljku. Uza i Ahjo, Abinadabovi sinovi, pratili su kola.
4 bringing with it the ark of God. And Ahio was walking in front of the ark.
Uza je stupao kraj Kovčega Božjeg, a Ahjo išao pred njim.
5 David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the LORD with all kinds of wood instruments, harps, stringed instruments, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals.
David i sav dom Izraelov igrahu pred Jahvom iz sve snage pjevajući uza zvuke citara, harfa, bubnjeva, udaraljki i cimbala.
6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen had stumbled.
Kad su došli do Nakonova gumna, posegnu Uza rukom za Kovčegom Božjim da ga pridrži jer ga volovi umalo ne prevrnuše.
7 And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and God struck him down on the spot for his irreverence, and he died there beside the ark of God.
Ali se Jahve razgnjevio na Uzu: Bog ga na mjestu udari za taj prijestup, tako da je umro ondje, kraj Kovčega Božjega.
8 Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah; so he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.
Davidu bijaše žao što je Jahve onako udario Uzu, i on prozva ono mjesto Peres Uza, kako se zove i dan-danas.
9 That day David feared the LORD and asked, “How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?”
Toga se dana David uplaši Jahve i reče u sebi: “Kako bi mogao doći k meni Kovčeg Jahvin?”
10 So he was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
Zato David ne htjede dovesti Kovčeg Jahvin k sebi, u Davidov grad, nego ga otpremi u kuću Obed-Edoma iz Gata.
11 Thus the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the LORD blessed him and all his household.
I ostade Jahvin Kovčeg u kući Obed-Edomovoj u Gatu tri mjeseca i Jahve blagoslovi Obed-Edoma i svu njegovu obitelj.
12 Now it was reported to King David, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and had the ark of God brought up from the house of Obed-edom into the City of David with rejoicing.
Kad su kralju javili da je Jahve blagoslovio Obed-Edomovu obitelj i sav njegov posjed zbog Kovčega Božjeg, ode David i ponese Kovčeg Božji iz Obed-Edomove kuće gore u Davidov grad s velikim veseljem.
13 When those carrying the ark of the LORD had advanced six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
Tek što su nosioci Kovčega Božjeg pokročili šest koraka, David žrtvova vola i tovna ovna.
14 And David, wearing a linen ephod, danced with all his might before the LORD,
David je igrao iz sve snage pred Jahvom, a bio je ogrnut samo lanenim oplećkom.
15 while he and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and the sounding of the ram’s horn.
Tako su David i sav Izraelov dom nosili gore Kovčeg Jahvin kličući i trubeći u rog.
16 As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from a window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, and she despised him in her heart.
A kad je Kovčeg Jahvin ulazio u Davidov grad, Šaulova je kći Mikala gledala kroz prozor i vidjela kralja Davida kako skače i vrti se pred Jahvom i prezre ga ona u svome srcu.
17 So they brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
Tada unesoše Kovčeg Jahvin i postaviše ga usred šatora koji mu bijaše razapeo David. Onda David prinese pred Jahvom paljenice i pričesnice.
18 When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Hosts.
Pošto je prinio paljenice i pričesnice, David blagoslovi narod imenom Jahve Sebaota.
19 Then he distributed to every man and woman among the multitude of Israel a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. And all the people departed, each for his own home.
Potom razdijeli među sav narod, među sve mnoštvo Izraelovo, ljudima i ženama, svakome po jedan kruh, komad mesa i kolač od suhoga grožđa. Zatim se raziđe sav narod, svaki svojoj kući.
20 As soon as David returned home to bless his own household, Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today!” she said. “He has uncovered himself today in the sight of the maidservants of his subjects, like a vulgar person would do.”
Kad se David vratio kući da blagoslovi svoju obitelj, Šaulova kći Mikala iziđe u susret Davidu i reče mu: “Kako se časno danas ponio Izraelov kralj kad se otkrio pred očima sluškinja slugu svojih kao što se otkriva prost čovjek!”
21 But David said to Michal, “I was dancing before the LORD, who chose me over your father and all his house when He appointed me ruler over the LORD’s people Israel. I will celebrate before the LORD,
Ali David odgovori Mikali: “Pred Jahvom ja igram! Tako mi živoga Jahve, koji me izabrao mjesto tvog oca i mjesto svega njegova doma da me postavi za kneza nad Izraelom, narodom Jahvinim: pred Jahvom ću igrati!
22 and I will humiliate and humble myself even more than this. Yet I will be honored by the maidservants of whom you have spoken.”
I još ću se dublje poniziti. Bit ću neznatan u tvojim očima, ali pred sluškinjama o kojima govoriš, pred njima ću biti u časti.”
23 And Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
A Mikala, Šaulova kći, ne imade poroda do dana svoje smrti.
