2 Samuel 6
1 And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
UDavida wabuya wabuthanisa bonke abakhethiweyo koIsrayeli, inkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu.
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.
UDavida wasesukuma wahamba labo bonke abantu ababelaye, besuka eBahala-Juda ukuze benyuse umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu usuka lapho, obizo lawo libizwa ngebizo leNkosi yamabandla, ehlala phakathi kwamakherubhi phezu kwawo.
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.
Basebewukhweza umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu enqoleni entsha, bewukhupha endlini kaAbinadaba eyayiseqaqeni; njalo uUza loAhiyo amadodana kaAbinadaba batshayela leyonqola entsha.
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.
Bayikhipha-ke endlini kaAbinadaba eyayiseqaqeni kanye lomtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu, njalo uAhiyo ehamba phambi komtshokotsho.
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.
UDavida lendlu yonke yakoIsrayeli basebetshaya phambi kweNkosi ngazo zonke izinto zokutshaya zesihlahla sefiri, langamachacho, langezigubhu zezintambo, langezigujana, langamahlwayi, langezinsimbi ezincencethayo.
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.
Bathi befika esizeni sikaNakoni, uUza welulelaisandla sakhe emtshokotshweni kaNkulunkulu, wawubamba, ngoba inkabi zakhubeka.
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.
Intukuthelo yeNkosi yasimvuthela uUza; uNkulunkulu wamtshaya khonapho ngenxa yalesisiphambeko; wasefela khonapho phansi komtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu.
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.
UDavida wasethukuthela ngoba iNkosi imfohlele uUza ngesikhala; waseyibiza leyondawo ngokuthi yiPerezi-Uza, kuze kube lamuhla.
9 And David was afraid of the Lord that day, saying: How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?
UDavida waseyesaba iNkosi ngalolosuku, wathi: Umtshokotsho weNkosi uzakuza njani kimi?
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.
Ngakho uDavida kavumanga ukuwudlulisela kuye umtshokotsho weNkosi emzini kaDavida; kodwa uDavida wawuphambulela endlini kaObedi-Edoma umGithi.
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.
Umtshokotsho weNkosi wasuhlala endlini kaObedi-Edoma umGithi inyanga ezintathu. INkosi yasimbusisa uObedi-Edoma lendlu yakhe yonke.
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.
Kwasekubikelwa inkosi uDavida kwathiwa: INkosi ibusisile indlu kaObedi-Edoma lakho konke okwakhe ngenxa yomtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu. Ngakho uDavida wasehamba wenyusa umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu ewususa endlini kaObedi-Edoma, ewusa emzini kaDavida ngentokozo.
13 And when they that carried the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a ram:
Kwasekusithi lapho labo abathwele umtshokotsho weNkosi sebehambe izinyathelo eziyisithupha, wahlaba inkabi lokunonisiweyo.
14 And David danced with all his might before the Lord: and David was girded with a linen ephod.
UDavida wasegida ngamandla wonke phambi kweNkosi; uDavida wayebhince i-efodi yelembu elicolekileyo.
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.
Ngokunjalo uDavida lendlu yonke yakoIsrayeli bawenyusa umtshokotsho weNkosi ngokumemeza langokukhala kophondo.
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.
Kwasekusithi lapho umtshokotsho weNkosi ungena emzini kaDavida, uMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli walunguza ngewindi, wabona inkosi uDavida eseqa egida phambi kweNkosi; wameyisa enhliziyweni yakhe.
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.
Basebewungenisa umtshokotsho weNkosi, bawubeka endaweni yawo phakathi kwethente uDavida ayelimisele wona; uDavida wasenikela iminikelo yokutshiswa phambi kweNkosi leminikelo yokuthula.
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.
Kwathi uDavida eseqedile ukunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula, wabusisa abantu ebizweni leNkosi yamabandla.
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.
Wababela bonke abantu, ixuku lonke lakoIsrayeli, kusukela kwabesilisa kusiya kwabesifazana, ngulowo lalowo iqebelengwana lesinkwa, leqatha lenyama, lesinkwa sezithelo zevini ezonyisiweyo. Basebehamba abantu bonke, ngulowo lalowo emzini wakhe.
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.
UDavida wasebuyela ukubusisa indlu yakhe. UMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli wasephuma ukuhlangabeza uDavida, wathi: Idunyiswe kangakanani inkosi yakoIsrayeli lamuhla, ezembule lamuhla phambi kwamehlo encekukazi zenceku zayo njengomunye wabayize ezembula lokuzembula!
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,
UDavida wasesithi kuMikhali: Ngaphambi kweNkosi, eyangikhetha phambi kukayihlo laphambi kwendlu yakhe yonke, yangimisa ukuthi ngibe ngumbusi phezu kwabantu beNkosi, phezu kukaIsrayeli; ngakho ngizadlala phambi kweNkosi.
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.
Ngisazadeleleka-ke kakhulu kulalokhu, ngehliselwe phansi emehlweni ami; kodwa ngezincekukazi okhulume ngazo, ngizadunyiswa yizo.
23 Therefore Michol the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
Njalo uMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli kabanga lamntwana kwaze kwaba lusuku lokufa kwakhe.
