2 Samuel 6
1 David again assembled the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand in all.
David samlede alt udsøgt Mandskab i Israel, 30 000 Mand.
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.
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.
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,
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,
4 bringing with it the ark of God. And Ahio was walking in front of the ark.
saaledes at Uzza gik ved Siden af og Ajo foran Guds Ark.
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 og hele Israel legede af alle Kræfter for HERRENS Aasyn til Sang og til Citre, Harper, Pauker, Bjælder og Cymbler.
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.
Men da de kom til Nakons Tærskeplads, rakte Uzza Haanden ud og greb fat i Guds Ark, fordi Okserne snublede.
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.
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.
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.
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.
9 That day David feared the LORD and asked, “How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?”
Og David grebes den Dag af Frygt for HERREN og sagde: »Hvor kan da HERRENS Ark komme hen hos mig!«
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.
Og David vilde ikke flytte HERRENS Ark hen hos sig i Davidsbyen, men lod den sætte ind i Gatiten Obed-Edoms Hus.
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.
HERRENS Ark blev saa i Gatiten Obed-Edoms Hus tre Maaneder, og HERREN velsignede Obed-Edom og hele hans Hus.
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.
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.
13 When those carrying the ark of the LORD had advanced six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
Og da de, som bar HERRENS Ark, havde gaaet seks Skridt, ofrede han en Okse og en Fedekalv.
14 And David, wearing a linen ephod, danced with all his might before the LORD,
Og David dansede af alle Kræfter for HERRENS Aasyn, iført en linned Efod.
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.
Saaledes bragte David og hele Israel HERRENS Ark op under Festjubel og Hornblæsning.
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.
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.
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.
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.
18 When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Hosts.
Og da David var færdig med Brændofrene og Takofrene, velsignede han Folket i Hærskarers HERRES Navn
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.
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.
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.”
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!«
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,
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,
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.”
selv om jeg derved nedværdiges og synker endnu dybere i dine Øjne; men hos Trælkvinderne, du talte om, skal jeg vinde Ære!«
23 And Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
Og Sauls Datter Mikal fik til sin Dødedag intet Barn.
