2 Samuel 6
1 And David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
Derefter samlede David atter alle udvalgte i Israel, tredive Tusinde.
2 And David arose and went with all the people that were with him from Baale-Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God which is called by the name, the name of Jehovah of hosts who sitteth between the cherubim.
Og David gjorde sig rede og gik hen, han og alt Folket, som var hos ham, fra Baale-Juda, for derfra at føre Guds Ark op, over hvilken der nævnes et Navn, den Herre Zebaoths Navn, som sidder over Keruber.
3 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was upon the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
Og de førte Guds Ark paa en ny Vogn og toge den fra Abinadabs Hus, som var paa Højen; men Ussa og Ahio, Abinadabs Sønner, førte den nye Vogn.
4 And they brought it with the ark of God out of the house of Abinadab which was upon the hill; and Ahio went before the ark.
Saa toge de den fra Abinadabs Hus, som var paa Højen, og fulgte med Guds Ark; men Ahio gik foran Arken.
5 And David and all the house of Israel played before Jehovah on all manner of [instruments made of] cypress wood, with harps, and with lutes, and with tambours, and with sistra, and with cymbals.
Da legede David og alt Israels Hus for Herrens Ansigt med alle Haande Strengeleg af Fyrretræ, med Harper og med Citere og med Trommer og med Bjælder og med Cymbler.
6 And when they came to Nachon's threshing-floor, Uzzah reached after the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen had stumbled.
Og der de kom til Nakons Lade, da udrakte Ussa Haanden til Guds Ark og greb fat paa den; thi Øksnene vege ud af Sporet.
7 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
Da optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Ussa, og Gud slog ham der for hans Forseelses Skyld, og han døde der ved Guds Ark.
8 And David was indignant, because Jehovah had made a breach upon Uzzah; and he called that place Perez-Uzzah to this day.
Da blev David ilde tilfreds, fordi Herren havde gjort et Skaar paa Ussa, og man kaldte det Sted Perez-Ussa indtil denne Dag.
9 And David was afraid of Jehovah that day, and said, How shall the ark of Jehovah come to me?
Og David frygtede for Herren samme Dag og sagde: Hvorledes skal Herrens Ark komme til mig?
10 So David would not bring the ark of Jehovah home unto himself into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
Og David vilde ikke føre Herrens Ark til sig i Davids Stad; men David lod den føre hen til Githiteren Obed-Edoms Hus.
11 And the ark of Jehovah remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months; and Jehovah blessed Obed-Edom and all his household.
Og Herrens Ark blev tre Maaneder i Githiteren Obed-Edoms Hus, og Herren velsignede Obed-Edom og alt hans Hus.
12 And it was told king David, saying, Jehovah has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that is his, because of the ark of God. And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom into the city of David with joy.
Og det blev Kong David tilkendegivet, idet der sagdes: Herren har velsignet Obed-Edoms Hus og alt det, han har, for Guds Arks Skyld; da gik David hen og førte Guds Ark op af Obed-Edoms Hus til Davids Stad med Glæde.
13 And it was so, that when they that bore the ark of Jehovah had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatted beast.
Og det skete, naar de, som bare Herrens Ark, vare gaaede seks Trin, da ofrede man Øksne og fedt Kvæg.
14 And David danced before Jehovah with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
Og David dansede af alle Kræfter for Herren Ansigt, og David var iført en linnet Livkjortel.
15 And David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
Saa førte David og alt Israels Hus Herrens Ark op med Frydeskrig og med Basuns Lyd.
16 And as the ark of Jehovah came into the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before Jehovah; and she despised him in her heart.
Og det skete, der Herrens Ark kom i Davids Stad, da saa Mikal, Sauls Datter, ud igennem Vinduet og saa Kong David springe af alle Kræfter for Herrens Ansigt, og hun foragtede ham i sit Hjerte.
17 And they brought in the ark of Jehovah, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had spread for it. And David offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah.
Og de førte Herrens Ark ind og satte den paa sit Sted midt i Paulunet, som David havde opslaaet til den; og David ofrede Brændofre og Takofre for Herrens Ansigt.
18 And when David had ended offering up the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah of hosts.
Der David var færdig med at ofre Brændofre og Takofre, da velsignede han Folket i den Herre Zebaoths Navn.
19 And he dealt to all the people, to the whole multitude of Israel, both men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a measure [of wine], and a raisin-cake. And all the people departed every one to his house.
Og han uddelte til alt Folket og til al Israels Mangfoldighed, baade Mand og Kvinde, til hver en Brødkage og et godt Stykke Kød og en Rosinkage; da gik alt Folket bort, hver til sit Hus.
20 And David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How honourable did the king of Israel make himself to-day, who uncovered himself to-day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the lewd fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!
Der David kom tilbage for at velsigne sit Hus, da gik Mikal, Sauls Datter, ud imod David og sagde: Hvor æret var Israels Konge i Dag, som blottede sig i Dag for sine Tjeneres Tjenestepigers Øjne, ligesom en af løse Folk ubluelig blotter sig.
21 And David said to Michal, It was before Jehovah, who chose me rather than thy father, and than all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of Jehovah, over Israel; and I played before Jehovah.
Da sagde David til Mikal: Det gjorde jeg for Herrens Ansigt, hans, som mig udvalgte fremfor din Fader og fremfor alt hans Hus, saa han befalede mig at være en Fyrste over Herrens Folk, over Israel, og jeg har leget for Herrens Ansigt.
22 And I will make myself yet more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight; and of the handmaids that thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.
Og jeg vil endnu blive ringere end saa og ydmyge mig i mine egne Øjne; og de Tjenestepiger, som du talede om, med dem vil jeg æres.
23 And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
Men Mikal, Sauls Datter, fik ikke noget Barn indtil sin Dødsdag.
