2 Samuel 6
1 Once again David called up all specially chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand in total.
Yon lòt fwa ankò, David reyini tout pi bon sòlda pèp Izrayèl la. Sa te fè antou trantmil (30.000) gason.
2 He went with all his men to Baalah in Judah to bring back the Ark of God, which belongs to the Lord Almighty who sits between the cherubim that are on the Ark.
Li leve, li pati pou Balat nan peyi Jida ansanm ak tout sòlda ki te avè l' yo. Li tapral chache Bwat Kontra Bondye a, bwat ki pote non Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Seyè ki gen fotèy li anwo zanj cheriben yo.
3 They placed the Ark of God on a new cart and brought it from Abinadab's house, which was on a hill. Uzzah and Ahio, Abinadab's sons, were directing the cart
Yo pran Bwat la kay Abenadab sou mòn lan, mete l' sou yon kabwa tou nèf, yo pote l' ale. Ouza ak Akiyo, pitit gason Abenadab yo, t'ap mennen kabwa
4 with the Ark of God on it, with Ahio walking in front of it.
kote yo te mete Bwat Kontra Bondye a. Akiyo t'ap mache devan kabwa a.
5 David and all the Israelites were celebrating in the Lord's presence, singing songs accompanied by zithers, harps, tambourines, rattles, and cymbals.
David ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm t'ap danse ak tout nanm yo. Yo t'ap chante fè lwanj Seyè a. Yo t'ap jwe gita ak bandjo. Yo t'ap bat tanbou, tanbouren ak senbal.
6 But when they came to the threshing floor of Nachon, the oxen stumbled, so Uzzah reached out to stop the Ark of God from falling.
Lè yo rive bò glasi Nakon an, bèf yo bite, yo manke tonbe. Ouza lonje men l', li soutni Bwat Kontra a.
7 The Lord was angry with Uzzah, and God struck him down right there for his disobedience, and he died beside the Ark of God.
Men Seyè a move sou Ouza, li touye l' frèt paske li pa t' gen dwa manyen Bwat Kontra a. Ouza mouri la toupre Bwat Kontra a.
8 David was angry because of the Lord's violent outburst against Uzzah. He called the place Perez-uzzah, which is still its name today.
David menm te fache dèske Seyè a te touye Ouza konsa. Se poutèt sa depi lè sa a yo rele kote sa a Perèz-Ouza, non ki rete pou li jouk jounen jòdi a.
9 David became afraid of the Lord that day. “How can I ever bring back the Ark of God home to me?” he asked.
Lè sa a, David vin pè Seyè a. Li di li pa wè ki jan pou l' pran Bwat Kontra a lakay li.
10 Not wanting to bring the Ark of the Lord to be with him in the City of David, he had it taken to the home of Obed-edom the Gittite.
Se konsa li pran desizyon pou l' pa pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a lakay li nan Lavil David la. Li fè yo pote l' kay Obèdedon, yon moun lavil Gat.
11 The Ark of the Lord remained in Obed-edom's home for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom's whole household.
Bwat la pase twa mwa lakay li. Seyè a te beni Obèdedon ansanm ak tout moun lakay li.
12 King David was told, “The Lord has blessed Obed-edom's household and all that he has because of the Ark of God.” So David went and had the Ark of God brought from Obed-edom's house to the City of David. There was a lot of celebration!
Lè David tande jan Seyè a te beni Obèdedon ak tout moun lakay li, jan zafè l' t'ap mache byen poutèt Bwat Kontra a, David pati, li ale kay Obèdedon, li pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a pou pote l' nan Lavil David la avèk gwo seremoni sou tout wout la.
13 After those carrying the Ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf.
Lè moun ki t'ap pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a fè sis pa annavan, David fè yo rete, li touye yon gwo towo ak yon ti towo bèf chatre pou Seyè a.
14 Wearing a priest's ephod, David danced as hard as he could before the Lord
Apre sa, David pran danse ak tout nanm li devan Seyè a. Li pa t' gen pase yon moso twal fen blan mare nan ren l'.
15 as he and all the Israelites brought along the Ark of the Lord, with plenty of shouting and the sound of horns being blown.
Se konsa, li menm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la, yo pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a lavil Jerizalèm. Yo t'ap fè fèt, yo t'ap kònen twonpèt sou tout wout la.
16 As the Ark of the Lord was carried into the City of David, Saul's daughter Michal looked down from a window. She watched King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, and she really loathed him.
Antan yo t'ap antre ak Bwat Kontra a nan lavil David la, Mikal, pitit fi Sayil la, te kanpe bò yon fennèt ap gade. Li wè David ki t'ap danse fè laviwonn devan Seyè a. Li vin pa gen yon san pou li ankò.
17 They brought the Ark of the Lord and put it on its place inside the tent that David had set up for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and friendship offerings before the Lord.
Yo pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a, yo mete l' nan plas li nan tant David te moute pou li a. Apre sa, David ofri bèt pou boule nèt pou Seyè a ak ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi.
18 Once he had finished offering the sacrifices, David blessed the people in the name of the Lord Almighty.
Lè David fin fè ofrann sa yo, li beni pèp la nan non Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a.
19 He gave all the Israelites, both men and women, a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. Then he sent everyone home.
Li separe manje bay tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo, fanm kou gason. Li ba yo chak yon pen, yon moso vyann woti ak yon pen rezen. Lèfini, tout moun al lakay yo.
20 When David got home to bless his family, Michal, Saul's daughter came out to meet him and said, “How distinguished the king of Israel made himself look today, taking off his robes so everyone's servant girls could see, just as somebody crude would expose himself!”
Apre sa, David al lakay li pou l' beni fanmi pa l' tou. Men, Mikal, pitit fi Sayil la, soti vin kontre li. Epi li di l' konsa: -Ala yon bèl bagay wa pèp Izrayèl la fè pou tèt li jòdi a! Tou sa yon vakabon ta fè. Li wete rad sou li devan tout sèvant moun k'ap sèvi avè l' yo!
21 David told Michal, “I was dancing before the Lord, who chose me instead of your father and all his family when he named me ruler over the Lord's people Israel. I will continue to celebrate before the Lord,
David reponn li: -Se vre. Mwen t'ap danse pou m' te fè lwanj Seyè a ki te pito m' pase papa ou ak tout fanmi ou. Li chwazi m', li mete m' chèf pèp Izrayèl la, pèp li a. M'ap toujou ka danse devan l' pou m' fè lwanj li.
22 in fact I'm going to make myself even less distinguished, become even more humble. However, I will be respected by those servant girls you spoke about.”
M'ap desanm tèt mwen pi ba toujou pase sa. Dapre ou, se desann m'ap desann sousi m'. Men, sèvant w'ap pale yo ap toujou ka leve m' anlè.
23 And Michal, Saul's daughter, never had any children.
Mikal, pitit fi Sayil la, pa janm fè pitit jouk li mouri.
