2 Samuel 6

1 And David got together all the fighting-men of Israel to the number of thirty thousand;

Pea naʻe toe tānaki fakataha ʻe Tevita ʻae kau ongoongoa ʻi ʻIsileli, ko e toko tolu mano.

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.

Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Tevita, pea ne ʻalu ia mo e kakai naʻe ʻiate ia mei Peali ʻi Siuta, ke ʻomi mei ai ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku fakahingoa ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe selupimi.

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.

Pea naʻa nau fakaheka ʻae puha ʻoe ʻOtua ki he saliote foʻou, ʻonau ʻomi ia ki he fale ʻo ʻApinatapi ʻaia naʻe ʻi Kipea: pea naʻe fakahinohinoʻi ʻae saliote foʻou ʻe Usa mo ʻAhio ko e ongo foha ʻo ʻApinatapi.

4 And Uzzah went by the side of the ark, while Ahio went before it.

Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia kituʻa mei he fale ʻo ʻApinatapi ʻaia naʻe ʻi Kipea: ʻonau ō mo e puha ʻoe ʻOtua; pea naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻa ʻAhio ʻi he puha.

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.

Pea naʻe tā ʻe Tevita mo e fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi meʻa faiva kehekehe naʻe [ngaohi ]mei he ʻakau ko e paini, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi haʻape mo e ʻūtete, mo e lali iiki, mo e meʻa ifi, mo e simipale.

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.

Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko mai ki he potu hahaʻanga uite ʻo Nakoni, naʻe ala atu ʻe Usa ki he puha ʻoe ʻOtua, mo ne puke ki ai, koeʻuhi naʻe fakangalulu ia ʻe he fanga pulu.

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.

Pea naʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova kia Usa; pea naʻe taaʻi ia ʻi ai ʻe he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai hala; pea naʻa ne mate ʻi he potu ko ia ʻo ofi ki he puha ʻoe ʻOtua.

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.

Pea naʻe ʻita ʻa Tevita koeʻuhi ko e teʻia ʻa Usa ʻe Sihova: pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ʻae potu ko ia ko Pelesi-Usa, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.

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?

Pea naʻe manavahē ʻa Tevita kia Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, mo ne pehē, “ʻE ʻomi fakafēfē ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova kiate au?”

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.

Ko ia naʻe ʻikai loto ʻa Tevita ke ʻomi kiate ia ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita: ka naʻe ʻave ʻo afe ʻaki ia ʻe Tevita ki he fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi ko e tangata Kati.

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.

Pea naʻe nofo ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ʻi he fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi ko e tangata Kati ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu: pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻOpeti-ʻItomi, pea mo hono kaungā fale kotoa pē.

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.

Pea naʻe fakahā kia Tevita, ʻo pehē, Kuo fakamonūʻia ʻae fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana, koeʻuhi ko e puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua. Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Tevita ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae puha ʻoe ʻOtua mei he fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita, mo e fiefia.

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.

Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he Lakaatu ʻakinautolu naʻe fua ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ʻi he lakaʻanga ʻe ono, naʻa ne feilaulau ʻaki ʻae fanga pulu mo e fanga manu sino.

14 And David, clothed in a linen ephod, was dancing before the Lord with all his strength.

Pea naʻe meʻe ʻa Tevita ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻaki ʻa ʻene mālohi kātoa; pea naʻe kofuʻaki ʻa Tevita ʻae ʻefoti ʻoe tupenu lelei.

15 So David and all the men of Israel took up the ark of the Lord with cries of joy and sounding of horns.

Ko ia naʻe ʻomi ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ʻe Tevita mo e fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he kalanga, mo e ifi ʻaki ʻae meʻalea.

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.

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko atu ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita, naʻe sio ʻa Mikale ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula mei he kātupa, pea ne mamata kia Tevita naʻe hopo mo meʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; pea naʻa ne manuki ia ʻi hono loto.

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.

Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ki loto ʻae puha ʻo Sihova, ʻo tuku ia ki hono potu, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ki ai ʻe Tevita: pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

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.

Pea ʻi heʻene hili leva ʻae ʻatu ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, naʻa ne tāpuaki ʻae kakai ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi.

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.

Pea naʻa ne tufaki atu ki he kakai kotoa pē, ki he fuʻu tokolahi kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he kau fefine pea mo e kakai tangata, ko e taki taha ha foʻi mā, mo ha konga lahi ʻoe kanomate, mo ha hina uaine. Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo taki taha ki hono fale ʻoʻona.

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!

Hili ia naʻe foki mai ʻa Tevita ke tāpuakiʻi ʻa hono kaungā nofoʻanga. Pea naʻe haʻu kituʻa ʻa Mikale ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula, ke ne fetaulaki mo Tevita, mo ne pehē ʻe ia, “Hono ʻikai ngalingali ʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli he ʻaho ni, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatelefuaʻi ia he ʻaho ni ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau fefine ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko e fakatelefua ʻoku fai ʻe ha tokotaha ʻoku fakalaukau mo e taʻeangamā!”

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;

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Mikale, “[Naʻe fai ia ʻi ]he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fili au ʻi he ʻao ʻo hoʻo tamai mo e ʻao ʻo hono fale kotoa pē, ke ne fakanofo au ko e pule ki he kakai ʻo Sihova, ki ʻIsileli: ko ia te u fakafiefia ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

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.

Pea te u fai ke u mata kovi lahi hake ʻi he meʻa ni, pea te u matamata kovi ʻi hoku ʻao ʻoʻoku: pea ko e kau kaunanga kuo ke lea ki ai, ʻe fakahikihiki au ʻekinautolu.”

23 And Michal, Saul's daughter, had no child till the day of her death.

Ko ia naʻe ʻikai fānau ai ha tamasiʻi ʻe Mikale ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene pekia.
