2 Samuel 6
1 And David got together all the fighting-men of Israel to the number of thirty thousand;
David samlede alt udsøgt Mandskab i Israel, 30000 Mand.
2 And David, and all the people who were with him, went to Baal of Judah to get the ark of God, over which the holy name is named, the name of the Lord of armies, whose place is between the winged ones.
Derpå 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 And they put the ark of God on a new cart and took it out of the house of Abinadab which was on the hill: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were the drivers of the cart.
De satte da Guds Ark på en ny Vogn og førte den bort fra Abinadabs Hus på Højen, og Abinadabs Sønner Uzza og Ajo kørte Vognen,
4 And Uzzah went by the side of the ark, while Ahio went before it.
således at Uzza gik ved Siden af og Ajo foran Guds Ark.
5 And David and all the men of Israel made melody before the Lord with all their power, with songs and with corded instruments and instruments of brass.
David og hele Israel legede af alle Kræfter for HERRENs Åsyn til Sang og til Citre, Harper, Pauker, Bjælder og Cymbler.
6 And when they came to Nacon's grain-floor, Uzzah put his hand on the ark of God to keep it safe in its place, for the oxen were out of control.
Men da de kom til Nakons Tærskeplads, rakte Uzza Hånden ud og greb fat i Guds Ark, fordi Okserne snublede.
7 And the wrath of the Lord, burning against Uzzah, sent destruction on him because he had put his hand on the ark, and death came to him there by the ark of God.
Da blussede HERRENS Vrede op mod Uzza, og Gud slog ham der, fordi han rakte Hånden ud mod Arken, og han døde på Stedet ved Siden af Guds Ark.
8 And David was angry because of the Lord's outburst of wrath against Uzzah: and he gave that place the name Perez-uzzah, which is its name 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 And such was David's fear of the Lord that day, that he said, How may I let the ark of God 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 David did not let the ark of the Lord come back to him to the town of David: but had it turned away and put into 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 And the ark of the Lord was in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months: and the Lord sent a blessing on Obed-edom and all his family.
HERRENs Ark blev så i Gatiten Obed-Edoms Hus tre Måneder, og HERREN velsignede Obed-Edom og hele hans Hus.
12 And they said to King David, The blessing of the Lord is on the family of Obed-edom and on all he has, because of the ark of God. And David went and took the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the town of David with joy.
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 And when those who were lifting the ark of the Lord had gone six steps, he made an offering of an ox and a fat young beast.
Og da de, som bar HERRENs Ark, havde gået seks Skridt, ofrede han en Okse og en Fedekalv.
14 And David, clothed in a linen ephod, was dancing before the Lord with all his strength.
Og David dansede af alle Kræfter for HERRENs Åsyn, iført en linned Efod.
15 So David and all the men of Israel took up the ark of the Lord with cries of joy and sounding of horns.
Således bragte David og hele Israel HERRENs Ark op under Festjubel og Hornblæsning.
16 And when the ark of the Lord came into the town of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, looking out of the window, saw King David dancing and jumping before the Lord; and to her mind he seemed foolish.
Men da HERRENs Ark kom til Davidsbyen, så Sauls Datter Mikal ud af Vinduet; og da hun så Kong David springe og danse for HERRENs Åsyn, ringeagtede hun ham i sit Hjerte.
17 And they took in the ark of the Lord, and put it in its place inside the tent which David had put up for it: and David made burned offerings and peace-offerings to the Lord.
De førte så HERRENs Ark ind og stillede den på Plads midt i det Telt, David havde rejst den, og David ofrede Brændofre og Takofre for HERRENs Åsyn.
18 And after David had made the burned offerings and the peace-offerings, he gave the people a blessing in the name of the Lord of armies.
Og da David var færdig med Brændofrene og Takofrene, velsignede han Folket i Hærskarers HERREs Navn
19 And he gave to every man and woman among all the people, among all the masses of Israel, a cake of bread and a measure of wine and a cake of dry grapes. Then all the people went away, every man to his house.
og uddelte til alt Folket, til hver enkelt af hele Israels Mængde, både Mand og Kvinde, et Brød, et Stykke Kød og en Rosinkage; derpå gik alt Folket hver til sit.
20 Then David came back to give a blessing to his family. And Michal, Saul's daughter, came out to him and said, How full of glory was the king of Israel today, who let himself be seen uncovered by his servant-girls like a foolish person uncovering himself without shame!
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 Undersåtters Trælkvinders Øjne, som letfærdige Mennesker plejer at gøre!"
21 And David said to Michal, I was dancing before the Lord, who put me over your father and all his sons, to make me a ruler over the people of the Lord, over his people Israel: and I will go on playing before the Lord;
David svarede Mikal: "For HERRENs Åsyn vil jeg lege, så sandt HERREN lever, som udvalgte mig fremfor din Fader og hele hans Hus, så han satte mig til Fyrste over HERRENs Folk Israel; jeg vil lege for HERRENs Åsyn,
22 And I will do even worse than this, and make myself even lower in your eyes: but the servant-girls of whom you were talking will give me honour.
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, Saul's daughter, had no child till the day of her death.
Og Sauls Datter Mikal fik til sin Dødedag intet Barn.
