< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 And David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
David reuniu novamente todos os homens escolhidos de Israel, trinta mil.
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.
David levantou-se e foi com todas as pessoas que estavam com ele de Baal Judá, para trazer de lá a arca de Deus, que é chamada pelo Nome, até mesmo o nome de Yahweh dos exércitos que se senta acima dos querubins.
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.
Eles colocaram a arca de Deus em uma nova carroça, e a levaram para fora da casa de Abinadab, que estava na colina; e Uzzah e Ahio, os filhos de Abinadab, conduziram a nova carroça.
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.
Eles a levaram para fora da casa de Abinadab que estava na colina, com a arca de Deus; e Ahio foi antes da arca.
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.
David e toda a casa de Israel tocaram diante de Javé com todo tipo de instrumentos feitos de madeira de cipreste, com harpas, com instrumentos de cordas, com pandeiros, com castanholas, e com címbalos.
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.
Quando chegaram à eira de Nacon, Uzzah pegou a arca de Deus e se apoderou dela, pois o gado tropeçou.
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.
A raiva de Javé queimou contra Uzá, e Deus o golpeou lá por seu erro; e ele morreu lá pela arca de Deus.
8 And David was indignant, because Jehovah had made a breach upon Uzzah; and he called that place Perez-Uzzah to this day.
David ficou descontente porque Yahweh havia fugido contra Uzá; e chamou aquele lugar de Perez Uzá até hoje.
9 And David was afraid of Jehovah that day, and said, How shall the ark of Jehovah come to me?
David tinha medo de Iavé naquele dia; e disse: “Como poderia a arca de Iavé vir até mim?”.
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.
Então David não moveria a arca de Iavé para estar com ele na cidade de David; mas David a levou para dentro da casa de Obede-Edom, o Gittita.
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.
A arca de Javé permaneceu três meses na casa de Obede-Edom, o Gittita; e Javé abençoou Obede-Edom e toda a sua casa.
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.
Foi dito ao rei David: “Javé abençoou a casa de Obede-Edom, e tudo o que lhe pertence, por causa da arca de Deus”. Então David foi e trouxe a arca de Deus da casa de Obede-Edom para a cidade de David com alegria.
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.
Quando aqueles que levavam a arca de Javé tinham ido a seis passos, ele sacrificou um boi e um bezerro engordado.
14 And David danced before Jehovah with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
David dançou diante de Javé com todas as suas forças; e David estava vestido com um éfode de linho.
15 And David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
Então David e toda a casa de Israel levantaram a arca de Iavé com gritos e com o som da trombeta.
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.
Quando a arca de Javé entrou na cidade de Davi, Michal, filha de Saul, olhou pela janela e viu o rei Davi pulando e dançando diante de Javé; e ela o desprezou em seu coração.
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.
Eles trouxeram a arca de Javé e a colocaram em seu lugar no meio da tenda que Davi havia armado para ela; e Davi ofereceu holocaustos e ofertas de paz diante de Javé.
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.
Quando David terminou de oferecer o holocausto e as ofertas de paz, ele abençoou o povo em nome de Iavé dos Exércitos.
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.
Ele deu a todo o povo, mesmo entre toda a multidão de Israel, tanto a homens como a mulheres, uma porção de pão, tâmaras e passas. Assim, todo o povo partiu, cada um para sua própria casa.
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!
Então David retornou para abençoar sua casa. Michal, filha de Saul, saiu ao encontro de Davi e disse: “Quão glorioso foi hoje o rei de Israel, que hoje se descobriu aos olhos das criadas de seus servos, como um dos vaidosos se descobre sem vergonha”!
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.
David disse a Michal: “Foi antes de Yahweh, que me escolheu acima de seu pai, e acima de toda sua casa, para me nomear príncipe sobre o povo de Yahweh, sobre Israel. Portanto, vou comemorar antes de Iavé.
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.
Serei ainda mais indigno do que isto, e não terei mais valor à minha própria vista. Mas as criadas de quem vocês falaram me honrarão”.
23 And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
Michal, a filha de Saul, não teve filhos até o dia de sua morte.
