2 Samuel 6
1 Then David again gathered together all the elect men of Israel, thirty thousand.
David volvió a reunir a todos los escogidos de Israel: 30.000.
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.
Entonces David se levantó y salió a Baala de Judá con todo el pueblo que tenía consigo, para subir desde allí el Arca de ʼElohim, la cual es llamada por el Nombre de Yavé de las huestes, sobre la cual están los querubines.
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.
Pusieron el Arca de ʼElohim en una carroza nueva, y se la llevaron de la casa de Abinadab que estaba en la colina. Uza y Ahío, hijos de Abinadab, conducían la carroza nueva
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.
y la sacaron con el Arca de ʼElohim de la casa de Abinadab que estaba en la colina. Ahío iba delante del Arca.
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 y toda la casa de Israel tocaban toda clase de instrumentos de madera de abeto, con arpas, salterios, panderos, flautas y címbalos delante de Yavé con alegría.
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.
Pero cuando llegaron a la era de Nacón, Uza alargó su mano al Arca de ʼElohim para sostenerla, porque los bueyes tropezaban.
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.
Pero la ira de Yavé se encendió contra Uza. ʼElohim lo hirió allí por aquella temeridad y allí cayó muerto junto al Arca de ʼElohim.
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.
David se disgustó porque Yavé quebrantó a Uza, por lo cual llamó aquel lugar Brecha de Uza hasta hoy.
9 And David was very fearful of the Lord on that day, saying, “How shall the ark of the Lord be brought to me?”
Pero aquel día David tuvo temor a Yavé y dijo: ¿Cómo podrá el Arca de Yavé venir a mí?
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.
David no quiso trasladar el Arca de Yavé consigo a la ciudad de David, sino la llevó a la casa de Obed-edom geteo.
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.
El Arca de Yavé estuvo en casa de Obed-edom geteo tres meses, y Yavé bendijo a Obed-edom y a toda su casa.
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.
Se informó al rey David: Yavé bendijo la casa de Obed-edom y todo lo que tiene a causa del Arca de ʼElohim. Entonces David fue y subió el Arca de ʼElohim con alegría de la casa de Obed-edom a la Ciudad de David.
13 And when those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had traveled six steps, he immolated an ox and a ram.
Sucedió que cuando los portadores del Arca de Yavé caminaban seis pasos, él sacrificaba un becerro y un carnero engordado.
14 And David danced with all his ability before the Lord. And David was girded with the linen ephod.
David danzaba con toda su fuerza delante de Yavé y se puso un efod de lino.
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.
David y toda la casa de Israel subieron el Arca de Yavé de este modo, con aclamaciones y al sonido de la corneta.
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.
Cuando el Arca de Yavé entró en la Ciudad de David, aconteció que Mical, hija de Saúl, miró por la ventana. Y cuando vio al rey David que saltaba y danzaba delante de Yavé, lo despreció en su corazón.
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.
Llevaron el Arca de Yavé y la pusieron en su lugar en medio de la tienda que David le levantó. Entonces David ofreció holocaustos y ofrendas de paz delante de Yavé.
18 And when he had completed offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
Cuando David acabó de ofrecer los holocaustos y las ofrendas de paz, bendijo al pueblo en el Nombre de Yavé de las huestes.
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.
Repartió una torta de pan, una de dátiles y una de pasas a todo el pueblo y a toda la multitud de Israel, a cada uno, tanto a hombres como a mujeres. Luego todo el pueblo salió, cada uno a su casa.
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.”
Pero al regresar David para bendecir su casa, Mical, hija de Saúl, salió a encontrar a David y le dijo: ¡Cuán honrado quedó el rey de Israel hoy, al descubrirse ante los ojos de las esclavas de sus esclavos, como se descubre cualquier bufón!
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,
Entonces David dijo a Mical: Lo hice delante de Yavé, Quien me escogió por encima de tu padre y de toda su casa para constituirme caudillo sobre Israel, el pueblo de Yavé. Por tanto, danzo delante de Yavé
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.”
y me humillaré aún más que esta vez. Me rebajaré ante mis propios ojos, pero seré honrado delante de las esclavas que mencionas.
23 And so, there was no child born to Michal, the daughter of Saul, even to the day of her death.
Y Mical, hija de Saúl, no tuvo hijos hasta el día de su muerte.
