< Kings II 6 >

1 And David again gathered all the young men of Israel, about seventy thousand.
Yon lòt fwa ankò, David reyini tout pi bon sòlda pèp Izrayèl la. Sa te fè antou trantmil (30.000) gason.
2 And David arose, and went, he and all the people that were with him, and some of the rulers of Juda, on an expedition [to a distant place], to bring back thence the ark of God, on which the name of the Lord of Host who dwells between the cherubs upon it is called.
Li leve, li pati pou Balat nan peyi Jida ansanm ak tout sòlda ki te avè l' yo. Li tapral chache Bwat Kontra Bondye a, bwat ki pote non Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Seyè ki gen fotèy li anwo zanj cheriben yo.
3 And they put the ark of the Lord on a new waggon, and took it out of the house of Aminadab who lived on the hill, and Oza and his brethren the sons of Aminadab drove the waggon with the ark.
Yo pran Bwat la kay Abenadab sou mòn lan, mete l' sou yon kabwa tou nèf, yo pote l' ale. Ouza ak Akiyo, pitit gason Abenadab yo, t'ap mennen kabwa
4 And his brethren went before the ark.
kote yo te mete Bwat Kontra Bondye a. Akiyo t'ap mache devan kabwa a.
5 And David and the children of Israel [were] playing before the Lord on well-tuned instruments mightily, and with songs, and with harps, and with lutes, and with drums, and with cymbals, and with pipes.
David ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm t'ap danse ak tout nanm yo. Yo t'ap chante fè lwanj Seyè a. Yo t'ap jwe gita ak bandjo. Yo t'ap bat tanbou, tanbouren ak senbal.
6 And they come as far as the threshing floor of Nachor: and Oza reached forth his hand to the ark of God to keep it steady, and took hold of it; for the ox shook it out of its place.
Lè yo rive bò glasi Nakon an, bèf yo bite, yo manke tonbe. Ouza lonje men l', li soutni Bwat Kontra a.
7 And the Lord was very angry with Oza; and God struck him there: and he died there by the ark of the Lord before God.
Men Seyè a move sou Ouza, li touye l' frèt paske li pa t' gen dwa manyen Bwat Kontra a. Ouza mouri la toupre Bwat Kontra a.
8 And David was dispirited because the Lord made a breach upon Oza; and that place was called the breach of Oza until this day.
David menm te fache dèske Seyè a te touye Ouza konsa. Se poutèt sa depi lè sa a yo rele kote sa a Perèz-Ouza, non ki rete pou li jouk jounen jòdi a.
9 And David feared the Lord in that day, saying, How shall the ark of the Lord come in to me?
Lè sa a, David vin pè Seyè a. Li di li pa wè ki jan pou l' pran Bwat Kontra a lakay li.
10 And David would not bring in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to himself into the city of David: and David turned it aside into the house of Abeddara the Gethite.
Se konsa li pran desizyon pou l' pa pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a lakay li nan Lavil David la. Li fè yo pote l' kay Obèdedon, yon moun lavil Gat.
11 And the ark of the Lord lodged in the house of Abeddara the Gethite three months, and the Lord blessed all the house of Abeddara, and all his possessions.
Bwat la pase twa mwa lakay li. Seyè a te beni Obèdedon ansanm ak tout moun lakay li.
12 And it was reported to king David, saying, The Lord has blessed the house of Abeddara, and all that he has, because of the ark of the Lord. And David went, and brought up the Ark of the Lord from the house of Abeddara to the city of David with gladness.
Lè David tande jan Seyè a te beni Obèdedon ak tout moun lakay li, jan zafè l' t'ap mache byen poutèt Bwat Kontra a, David pati, li ale kay Obèdedon, li pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a pou pote l' nan Lavil David la avèk gwo seremoni sou tout wout la.
13 And there were with him bearing the ark seven bands, and for a sacrifice a calf and lambs.
Lè moun ki t'ap pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a fè sis pa annavan, David fè yo rete, li touye yon gwo towo ak yon ti towo bèf chatre pou Seyè a.
14 And David sounded with well-tuned instruments before the Lord, and David [was] clothed with a fine long robe.
Apre sa, David pran danse ak tout nanm li devan Seyè a. Li pa t' gen pase yon moso twal fen blan mare nan ren l'.
15 And David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of a trumpet.
Se konsa, li menm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la, yo pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a lavil Jerizalèm. Yo t'ap fè fèt, yo t'ap kònen twonpèt sou tout wout la.
16 And it came to pass as the ark arrived at the city of David, that Melchol the daughter of Saul looked through the window, and saw king David dancing and playing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.
Antan yo t'ap antre ak Bwat Kontra a nan lavil David la, Mikal, pitit fi Sayil la, te kanpe bò yon fennèt ap gade. Li wè David ki t'ap danse fè laviwonn devan Seyè a. Li vin pa gen yon san pou li ankò.
17 And they bring the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle which David pitched for it: and David offered whole burnt offerings before the Lord, [and] peace-offerings.
Yo pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a, yo mete l' nan plas li nan tant David te moute pou li a. Apre sa, David ofri bèt pou boule nèt pou Seyè a ak ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi.
18 And David made an end of offering the whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings, and blessed the people in the name of the Lord of Hosts.
Lè David fin fè ofrann sa yo, li beni pèp la nan non Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a.
19 And he distributed to all the people, even to all the host of Israel from Dan to Bersabee, both men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a joint of meat, and a cake from the frying-pan: and all the people departed every one to his home.
Li separe manje bay tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo, fanm kou gason. Li ba yo chak yon pen, yon moso vyann woti ak yon pen rezen. Lèfini, tout moun al lakay yo.
20 And David returned to bless his house. And Melchol the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and saluted him, and said, How was the king of Israel glorified today, who was today uncovered in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the dancers wantonly uncovers himself!
Apre sa, David al lakay li pou l' beni fanmi pa l' tou. Men, Mikal, pitit fi Sayil la, soti vin kontre li. Epi li di l' konsa: -Ala yon bèl bagay wa pèp Izrayèl la fè pou tèt li jòdi a! Tou sa yon vakabon ta fè. Li wete rad sou li devan tout sèvant moun k'ap sèvi avè l' yo!
21 And David said to Melchol, I will dance before the Lord. Blessed [be] the Lord who chose me before your father, and before all his house, to make me head over his people, even over Israel: therefore I will play, and dance before the Lord.
David reponn li: -Se vre. Mwen t'ap danse pou m' te fè lwanj Seyè a ki te pito m' pase papa ou ak tout fanmi ou. Li chwazi m', li mete m' chèf pèp Izrayèl la, pèp li a. M'ap toujou ka danse devan l' pou m' fè lwanj li.
22 And I will again uncover myself thus, and I will be vile in your eyes, and with the maidservants by whom you said that I was not had in honour.
M'ap desanm tèt mwen pi ba toujou pase sa. Dapre ou, se desann m'ap desann sousi m'. Men, sèvant w'ap pale yo ap toujou ka leve m' anlè.
23 And Melchol the daughter of Saul had no child till the day of her death.
Mikal, pitit fi Sayil la, pa janm fè pitit jouk li mouri.
