2 Samuel 6
1 Then David again gathered together all the elect men of Israel, thirty thousand.
Jednoga dana David opet skupi svu izabranu momčad u Izraelu, trideset tisuća ljudi.
2 And David arose and went away, with the entire people who were with him from the men of Judah, so that they might lead back the ark of God, over which is invoked the name of the Lord of hosts, who sits upon the cherubim above 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 And they placed the ark of God on a new cart. And they took it from the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeon. And Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove 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 And when they had taken it from the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeon, Ahio preceded the ark as the keeper of the ark of God.
Uza je stupao kraj Kovčega Božjeg, a Ahjo išao pred njim.
5 But David and all of Israel played before the Lord on every kind of musical instrument made of wood, and on harps, and lyres, and timbrels, and bells, and cymbals.
David i sav dom Izraelov igrahu pred Jahvom iz sve snage pjevajući uza zvuke citara, harfa, bubnjeva, udaraljki i cimbala.
6 And after they had arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah extended his hand to the ark of God, and he touched it, because the oxen were kicking and had caused it to tip.
Kad su došli do Nakonova gumna, posegnu Uza rukom za Kovčegom Božjim da ga pridrži jer ga volovi umalo ne prevrnuše.
7 And the indignation of the Lord was enraged against Uzzah. And he struck him for his temerity. And there he died, 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 was saddened because the Lord had struck Uzzah. And the name of that place was called: the Striking of Uzzah, even 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 And David was very fearful of the Lord on that day, saying, “How shall the ark of the Lord be brought to me?”
Toga se dana David uplaši Jahve i reče u sebi: “Kako bi mogao doći k meni Kovčeg Jahvin?”
10 And he was not willing to send the ark of the Lord to himself in the city of David. Instead, he sent it into the house of Obededom, the Gittite.
Zato David ne htjede dovesti Kovčeg Jahvin k sebi, u Davidov grad, nego ga otpremi u kuću Obed-Edoma iz Gata.
11 And the ark of the Lord dwelt in the house of Obededom the Gittite, for three months. And the Lord blessed Obededom, 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 And it was reported to king David that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that was his, because of the ark of God. Therefore, David went and brought the ark of God, from the house of Obededom, into the city of David with joy. And there were with David seven choirs, and calves for victims.
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 And when those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had traveled six steps, he immolated an ox and a ram.
Tek što su nosioci Kovčega Božjeg pokročili šest koraka, David žrtvova vola i tovna ovna.
14 And David danced with all his ability before the Lord. And David was girded with the linen ephod.
David je igrao iz sve snage pred Jahvom, a bio je ogrnut samo lanenim oplećkom.
15 And David, and all the house of Israel, were leading the ark of the testament of the Lord, with jubilation and the sound of the trumpet.
Tako su David i sav Izraelov dom nosili gore Kovčeg Jahvin kličući i trubeći u rog.
16 And when the ark of the Lord had entered into the city of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looking out through a window, 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 And they led in the ark of the Lord. And they set it in its place in the middle of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it. And David offered holocausts and peace offerings in the sight of 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 And when he had completed offering holocausts 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 And he distributed to the entire multitude of Israel, as much to men as to women, to each one: one loaf of bread, and one piece of roasted beef, and fine wheat flour fried with oil. And all the people went away, each one to his own house.
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 And David returned, so that he might bless his own house. And Michal, the daughter of Saul, going out to meet David, said: “How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself before the handmaids of his servants, and being unclothed, as if one of the performers were unclothed.”
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 And David said to Michal: “Before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father, and rather than his entire house, and who commanded me, that I should be the leader over the people of the Lord in Israel,
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 I will both play and demean myself, more so than I have done. And I will be little in my own eyes. And with the handmaids, about whom you are speaking, I will appear more glorious.”
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 so, there was no child born to Michal, the daughter of Saul, even to the day of her death.
A Mikala, Šaulova kći, ne imade poroda do dana svoje smrti.
