2 Samuel 6
1 Then David again gathered together all the elect men of Israel, thirty thousand.
David samlede alt udsøgt Mandskab i Israel, 30 000 Mand.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
saaledes at Uzza gik ved Siden af og Ajo foran Guds Ark.
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 og hele Israel legede af alle Kræfter for HERRENS Aasyn til Sang og til Citre, Harper, Pauker, Bjælder og Cymbler.
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.
Men da de kom til Nakons Tærskeplads, rakte Uzza Haanden ud og greb fat i Guds Ark, fordi Okserne snublede.
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.
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 was saddened because the Lord had struck Uzzah. And the name of that place was called: the Striking of Uzzah, even 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 David was very fearful of the Lord on that day, saying, “How shall the ark of the Lord be brought to me?”
Og David grebes den Dag af Frygt for HERREN og sagde: »Hvor kan da HERRENS Ark komme hen hos mig!«
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.
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 dwelt in the house of Obededom the Gittite, for three months. And the Lord blessed Obededom, 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 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.
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 carrying the ark of the Lord had traveled six steps, he immolated an ox and a ram.
Og da de, som bar HERRENS Ark, havde gaaet seks Skridt, ofrede han en Okse og en Fedekalv.
14 And David danced with all his ability before the Lord. And David was girded with the linen ephod.
Og David dansede af alle Kræfter for HERRENS Aasyn, iført en linned Efod.
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.
Saaledes bragte David og hele Israel HERRENS Ark op under Festjubel og Hornblæsning.
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.
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 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.
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 And when he had completed offering holocausts 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 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.
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 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.”
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 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,
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 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.”
selv om jeg derved nedværdiges og synker endnu dybere i dine Øjne; men hos Trælkvinderne, du talte om, skal jeg vinde Ære!«
23 And so, there was no child born to Michal, the daughter of Saul, even to the day of her death.
Og Sauls Datter Mikal fik til sin Dødedag intet Barn.
