2 Samuel 6

1 And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

١ وَجَمَعَ دَاوُدُ أَيْضًا جَمِيعَ ٱلْمُنْتَخَبِينَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا.

2 And David arose and went, with all the people that were with him of the men of Juda to fetch the ark of God, upon which the name of the Lord of hosts is invoked, who sitteth over it upon the cherubims.

٢ وَقَامَ دَاوُدُ وَذَهَبَ هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ مِنْ بَعَلَةِ يَهُوذَا، لِيُصْعِدُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ، ٱلَّذِي يُدْعَى عَلَيْهِ بِٱلٱسْمِ، ٱسْمِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ.

3 And they laid the ark of God upon a new cart: and took it out of the house of Abinadab, who was in Gabaa: and Oza, and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.

٣ فَأَرْكَبُوا تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ عَلَى عَجَلَةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ، وَحَمَلُوهُ مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِينَادَابَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْأَكَمَةِ. وَكَانَ عُزَّةُ وَأَخِيُو، ٱبْنَا أَبِينَادَابَ يَسُوقَانِ ٱلْعَجَلَةَ ٱلْجَدِيدَةَ.

4 And when they had taken it out of the house of Abinadab, who was in Gabaa, Ahio having care of the ark of God went before the ark.

٤ فَأَخَذُوهَا مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِينَادَابَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْأَكَمَةِ مَعَ تَابُوتِ ٱللهِ. وَكَانَ أَخِيُو يَسِيرُ أَمَامَ ٱلتَّابُوتِ،

5 But David and all Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of wood, on harps and lutes and timbrels and cornets and cymbals.

٥ وَدَاوُدُ وَكُلُّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَلْعَبُونَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ بِكُلِّ أَنْوَاعِ ٱلْآلَاتِ مِنْ خَشَبِ ٱلسَّرْوِ، بِٱلْعِيدَانِ وَبِالرَّبَابِ وَبِالدُّفُوفِ وَبِالْجُنُوكِ وَبِالصُّنُوجِ.

6 And when they came to the floor of Nachon, Oza put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it: because the oxen kicked and made it lean aside.

٦ وَلَمَّا ٱنْتَهَوْا إِلَى بَيْدَرِ نَاخُونَ مَدَّ عُزَّةُ يَدَهُ إِلَى تَابُوتِ ٱللهِ وَأَمْسَكَهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلثِّيرَانَ ٱنْشَمَصَتْ.

7 And the indignation of the Lord was enkindled against Oza, and he struck him for his rashness: and he died there before the ark of God.

٧ فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى عُزَّةَ، وَضَرَبَهُ ٱللهُ هُنَاكَ لِأَجْلِ غَفَلِهِ، فَمَاتَ هُنَاكَ لَدَى تَابُوتِ ٱللهِ.

8 And David was grieved because the Lord had struck Oza, and the name of that place was called: The striking of Oza, to this day.

٨ فَٱغْتَاظَ دَاوُدُ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱقْتَحَمَ عُزَّةَ ٱقْتِحَامًا، وَسَمَّى ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ «فَارِصَ عُزَّةَ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

9 And David was afraid of the Lord that day, saying: How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?

٩ وَخَافَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَقَالَ: «كَيْفَ يَأْتِي إِلَيَّ تَابُوتُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟»

10 And he would not have the ark of the Lord brought in to himself into the city of David: but he caused it to be carried into the house of Obededom the Gethite.

١٠ وَلَمْ يَشَأْ دَاوُدُ أَنْ يَنْقُلَ تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيْهِ، إِلَى مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، فَمَالَ بِهِ دَاوُدُ إِلَى بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ ٱلْجَتِّيِّ.

11 And the ark of the Lord abode in the house of Obededom the Gethite three months: and the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household.

١١ وَبَقِيَ تَابُوتُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ ٱلْجَتِّيِّ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. وَبَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ وَكُلَّ بَيْتِهِ.

12 And it was told king David, that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that he had, because of the ark of God. So David went, and brought away the ark of God out of the house of Obededom into the city of David with joy. And there were with David seven choirs, and calves for victims.

١٢ فَأُخْبِرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «قَدْ بَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْتَ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ، وَكُلَّ مَا لَهُ بِسَبَبِ تَابُوتِ ٱللهِ». فَذَهَبَ دَاوُدُ وَأَصْعَدَ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ مِنْ بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ بِفَرَحٍ.

13 And when they that carried the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a ram:

١٣ وَكَانَ كُلَّمَا خَطَا حَامِلُو تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ سِتَّ خَطَوَاتٍ يَذْبَحُ ثَوْرًا وَعِجْلًا مَعْلُوفًا.

14 And David danced with all his might before the Lord: and David was girded with a linen ephod.

١٤ وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَرْقُصُ بِكُلِّ قُوَّتِهِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ مُتَنَطِّقًا بِأَفُودٍ مِنْ كَتَّانٍ.

15 And David and all the house of Israel brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord with joyful shouting, and with sound of trumpet.

١٥ فَأَصْعَدَ دَاوُدُ وَجَمِيعُ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ بِٱلْهُتَافِ وَبِصَوْتِ ٱلْبُوقِ.

16 And when the ark of the Lord was come into the city of David, Michol 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.

١٦ وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ تَابُوتُ ٱلرَّبِّ مَدِينَةَ دَاوُدَ، أَشْرَفَتْ مِيكَالُ بِنْتُ شَاوُلَ مِنَ ٱلْكُوَّةِ وَرَأَتِ ٱلْمَلِكَ دَاوُدَ يَطْفُرُ وَيَرْقُصُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَٱحْتَقَرَتْهُ فِي قَلْبِهَا.

17 And they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it: and David offered holocausts, and peace offerings before the Lord.

١٧ فَأَدْخَلُوا تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَوْقَفُوهُ فِي مَكَانِهِ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ ٱلَّتِي نَصَبَهَا لَهُ دَاوُدُ. وَأَصْعَدَ دَاوُدُ مُحْرَقَاتٍ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ.

18 And when he had made an end of offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.

١٨ وَلَمَّا ٱنْتَهَى دَاوُدُ مِنْ إِصْعَادِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَذَبَائِحِ ٱلسَّلَامَةِ بَارَكَ ٱلشَّعْبَ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ.

19 And he distributed to all the multitude of Israel both men and women, to every one, a cake of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and fine flour fried with oil: and all the people departed every one to his house.

١٩ وَقَسَمَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، عَلَى كُلِّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ رِجَالًا وَنِسَاءً، عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ رَغِيفَ خُبْزٍ وَكَأْسَ خَمْرٍ وَقُرْصَ زَبِيبٍ. ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ،

20 And David returned to bless his own house: and Michol the daughter of Saul coming out to meet David, said: How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself before the handmaids of his servants, and was naked, as if one of the buffoons should be naked.

٢٠ وَرَجَعَ دَاوُدُ لِيُبَارِكَ بَيْتَهُ. فَخَرَجَتْ مِيكَالُ بِنْتُ شَاوُلَ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِ دَاوُدَ، وَقَالَتْ: «مَا كَانَ أَكْرَمَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْيَوْمَ، حَيْثُ تَكَشَّفَ ٱلْيَوْمَ فِي أَعْيُنِ إِمَاءِ عَبِيدِهِ كَمَا يَتَكَشَّفُ أَحَدُ ٱلسُّفَهَاءِ».

21 And David said to Michol: Before the Lord, who chose me rather than thy father, and than all his house, and commanded me to be ruler over the people of the Lord in Israel,

٢١ فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِمِيكَالَ: «إِنَّمَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَارَنِي دُونَ أَبِيكِ وَدُونَ كُلَّ بَيْتِهِ لِيُقِيمَنِي رَئِيسًا عَلَى شَعْبِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَلَعِبْتُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

22 I will both play and make myself meaner than I have done: and I will be little in my own eyes: and with the handmaid of whom thou speakest, I shall appear more glorious.

٢٢ وَإِنِّي أَتَصَاغَرُ دُونَ ذَلِكَ وَأَكُونُ وَضِيعًا فِي عَيْنَيْ نَفْسِي، وَأَمَّا عِنْدَ ٱلْإِمَاءِ ٱلَّتِي ذَكَرْتِ فَأَتَمَجَّدُ».

23 Therefore Michol the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.

٢٣ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِمِيكَالَ بِنْتِ شَاوُلَ وَلَدٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ مَوْتِهَا.
