2 Samuel 6
1 Then David again gathered together all the elect men of Israel, thirty thousand.
Congregavit autem rursum David omnes electos ex Israel triginta millia.
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.
Surrexitque David, et abiit, et universus populus, qui erat cum eo de viris Iuda, ut adducerent arcam Dei, super quam invocatum est nomen Domini exercituum, sedentis in cherubim super eam.
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.
Et imposuerunt arcam Dei super plaustrum novum: tuleruntque eam de domo Abinadab, qui erat in Gabaa: Oza autem, et Ahio filii Abinadab, minabant plaustrum novum.
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.
Cumque tulissent eam de domo Abinadab, qui erat in Gabaa, custodiens arcam Dei Ahio praecedebat arcam.
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 autem, et omnis Israel ludebant coram Domino in omnibus lignis fabrefactis, et citharis et lyris et tympanis et sistris et cymbalis.
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.
Postquam autem venerunt ad Aream Nachor, extendit Oza manum ad arcam Dei, et tenuit eam: quoniam calcitrabant boves, et declinaverunt eam.
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.
Iratusque est indignatione Dominus contra Ozam, et percussit eum super temeritate: qui mortuus est ibi iuxta arcam Dei.
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.
Contristatus est autem David, eo quod percussisset Dominus Ozam, et vocatum est nomen loci illius: Percussio Ozae usque in diem hanc.
9 And David was very fearful of the Lord on that day, saying, “How shall the ark of the Lord be brought to me?”
Et extimuit David Dominum in die illa, dicens: Quo modo ingredietur ad me arca Domini?
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.
Et noluit divertere ad se arcam Domini in civitatem David: sed divertit eam in domum Obededom Gethaei.
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.
Et habitavit arca Domini in domo Obededom Gethaei tribus mensibus: et benedixit Dominus Obededom, et omnem domum eius.
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.
Nunciatumque est regi David quod benedixisset Dominus Obededom, et omnia eius propter arcam Dei. Dixitque David: Ibo, et reducam arcam cum benedictione in domum meam. Abiit ergo David, et adduxit arcam Dei de domo Obededom in civitatem David cum gaudio: et erant cum David septem chori, et victima vituli.
13 And when those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had traveled six steps, he immolated an ox and a ram.
Cumque transcendissent qui portabant arcam Domini sex passus, immolabat bovem et ovem et arietem,
14 And David danced with all his ability before the Lord. And David was girded with the linen ephod.
et David percutiebat in organis armigatis, et saltabat totis viribus ante Dominum. porro David erat accinctus ephod lineo.
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.
Et David, et omnis domus Israel ducebant arcam testamenti Domini, in iubilo, et in clangore buccinae.
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.
Cumque intrasset arca Domini in civitatem David, Michol filia Saul prospiciens per fenestram, vidit regem David subsilientem, atque saltantem coram Domino: et despexit eum in corde suo.
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.
Et introduxerunt arcam Domini, et imposuerunt eam in loco suo in medio tabernaculi, quod tetenderat ei David: et obtulit David holocausta, et pacifica coram Domino.
18 And when he had completed offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
Cumque complesset offerens holocausta et pacifica, benedixit populo in nomine Domini exercituum.
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.
Et partitus est universae multitudini Israel tam viro quam mulieri singulis collyridam panis unam, et assaturam bubalae carnis unam, et similam frixam oleo: et abiit omnis populus, unusquisque in domum suam.
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.”
Reversusque est David ut benediceret domui suae: et egressa Michol filia Saul in occursum David, ait: Quam gloriosus fuit hodie rex Israel discooperiens se ante ancillas servorum suorum, et nudatus est, quasi si nudetur unus de scurris.
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,
Dixitque David ad Michol: Vivit Dominus, quia ludam, Ante Dominum, qui elegit me potius quam patrem tuum, et quam omnem domum eius, et praecepit mihi ut essem dux super populum Domini in Israel,
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.”
et ludam, et vilior fiam plus quam factus sum: et ero humilis in oculis meis: et cum ancillis, de quibus locuta es, gloriosior apparebo.
23 And so, there was no child born to Michal, the daughter of Saul, even to the day of her death.
Igitur Michol filiae Saul non est natus filius usque in diem mortis suae.
