< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 Once again David called up all specially chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand in total.
Davidi asangisaki basoda ya mpiko ya Isalaele, bazalaki nkoto tuku misato.
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.
Davidi elongo na basoda na ye nyonso bakendeki na Baale-Yuda mpo na kolongola kuna Sanduku ya Nzambe, oyo, liboso na yango, bazalaki kobelela Kombo moko, Kombo ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, oyo avandaka kati na basheribe na likolo ya Sanduku.
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
Batiaki Sanduku ya Nzambe na likolo ya shario ya sika mpe bamemaki yango wuta na ndako ya Abinadabi, oyo ezalaki na likolo ya ngomba moke. Ezalaki Uza mpe Ayiyo, bana mibali mibale ya Abinadabi, nde bazalaki kotambolisa shario yango oyo ya sika.
4 with the Ark of God on it, with Ahio walking in front of it.
Bamemaki shario elongo na Sanduku ya Nzambe, wuta na ndako ya Abinadabi, oyo ezalaki na likolo ya ngomba moke. Ayiyo azalaki kotambola liboso ya shario.
5 David and all the Israelites were celebrating in the Lord's presence, singing songs accompanied by zithers, harps, tambourines, rattles, and cymbals.
Davidi mpe bato nyonso ya Isalaele bazalaki kosepela na liboso ya Yawe, na kobeta lolenge nyonso ya bibetelo mindule basala na mabaya ya sipele, mandanda, banzenze, bambunda ya mike-mike, makembe mpe manzanza.
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.
Tango bakomaki na etando ya Nakoni, Uza asembolaki loboko na ye mpe asimbaki Sanduku ya Nzambe, pamba te bangombe elingaki kokweyisa Sanduku.
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.
Yawe asilikelaki Uza makasi, mpe Nzambe abetaki ye mpo na mbeba na ye. Boye Uza akufaki kaka wana, pembeni ya Sanduku ya Nzambe.
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.
Davidi asilikaki makasi mpo ete Yawe afungolaki lidusu na kobeta Uza. Yango wana, kino na mokolo ya lelo, babengaka esika yango « Peretsi-Uza. »
9 David became afraid of the Lord that day. “How can I ever bring back the Ark of God home to me?” he asked.
Na mokolo wana, Davidi abangaki Yawe mpe amitunaki: « Ndenge nini Sanduku ya Yawe eya epai na ngai? »
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.
Boye, Davidi aboyaki komema Sanduku ya Yawe epai na ye, kati na engumba ya Davidi; akendeki kotia yango kati na ndako ya Obedi-Edomi, moto ya Gati.
11 The Ark of the Lord remained in Obed-edom's home for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom's whole household.
Sanduku ya Yawe evandaki sanza misato kati na ndako ya Obedi-Edomi, moto ya Gati; mpe Yawe apambolaki Obedi-Edomi elongo na libota na ye nyonso.
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!
Tango bayaki koyebisa mokonzi Davidi ete Yawe apamboli ndako ya Obedi-Edomi mpe biloko na ye nyonso mpo na Sanduku ya Nzambe, Davidi akendeki kozwa na esengo Sanduku ya Nzambe wuta na ndako ya Obedi-Edomi, mpe bakendeki na yango kati na engumba ya Davidi.
13 After those carrying the Ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf.
Tango bato oyo bazalaki komema Sanduku ya Yawe batindikaki makolo na bango mbala motoba, batelemaki, mpe Davidi abonzaki lokola mbeka ngombe moko ya mobali mpe mwana ngombe moko ya mafuta.
14 Wearing a priest's ephod, David danced as hard as he could before the Lord
Davidi alataki efode ya lino mpe azalaki kobina na makasi na ye nyonso liboso ya Yawe.
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.
Davidi mpe bato nyonso ya Isalaele bamemaki Sanduku ya Yawe na kobeta milolo ya esengo mpe na kobeta bakelelo.
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.
Tango Sanduku ya Yawe ekotaki na engumba ya Davidi, Mikali, mwana mwasi ya Saulo, azalaki kotala wuta na lininisa; mpe tango amonaki mokonzi Davidi kopumbwa mpe kobina liboso ya Yawe, ayinaki ye kati na motema na ye.
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.
Bamemaki Sanduku ya Yawe mpe batiaki yango kati na ndako ya kapo oyo Davidi atelemisaki mpo na yango. Mpe Davidi abonzaki liboso ya Yawe bambeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka ya boyokani.
18 Once he had finished offering the sacrifices, David blessed the people in the name of the Lord Almighty.
Tango Davidi asilisaki kobonza bambeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka ya boyokani, apambolaki bato na Kombo na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
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.
Bongo apesaki na bato nyonso, na lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele, mibali mpe basi, lipa, gato oyo basala na bambuma ya dati, gato oyo basala na bambuma ya vino ya kokawuka. Sima na yango, bato nyonso bazongaki na bandako na bango.
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!”
Tango Davidi azongaki mpo na kopambola ndako na ye, Mikali, mwana mwasi ya Saulo, abimaki mpo na kokutana na Davidi mpe alobaki: — Lokumu nini mokonzi ya Isalaele amipesi na mokolo ya lelo tango amitiki bolumbu na miso ya basi nyonso ya basali na ye ndenge moto pamba akokaki kosala?
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,
Davidi alobaki na Mikali: — Nazalaki nde kosepela liboso ya Yawe oyo aponaki ngai mpe asepelaki na ngai koleka tata na yo mpe moto nyonso ya ndako na ye, tango akomisaki ngai mokonzi ya Isalaele, bato ya Yawe.
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.”
Nakokoma lisusu moto pamba koleka mpe nakomikitisa lisusu koleka na miso na ngai moko. Kasi liboso ya basi oyo yo ozali kolobela, ngai nakozwa lokumu.
23 And Michal, Saul's daughter, never had any children.
Mpo na yango, Mikali, mwana mwasi ya Saulo, abotaki te kino na mokolo na ye ya kufa.
