2 Samuel 6

1 Againe Dauid gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, euen thirtie thousand,

١ وَحَشَدَ دَاوُدُ ثَلاثِينَ أَلْفاً مِنْ صَفْوَةِ الْمُخْتَارِينَ مِنْ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

2 And Dauid arose and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Iudah to bring vp from thence the Arke of God, whose name is called by the Name of the Lord, of hostes, that dwelleth vpon it betweene the Cherubims.

٢ وَانْطَلَقَ بِهِمْ مِنْ بَعَلَةِ يَهُوذَا لِيَنْقُلُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ الْجَالِسِ فَوْقَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ.

3 And they put the Arke of God vpon a newe cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah. And Vzzah and Ahio the sonnes of Abinadab did driue the newe carte.

٣ فَوَضَعُوا تَابُوتَ اللهِ عَلَى عَرَبَةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ وَحَمَلُوهُ مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِينَادَابَ الْقَائِمِ عَلَى التَّلَّةِ، وَكَانَ كُلٌّ مِنْ عُزَّةَ وَأَخِيُو ابْنَيْ أَبِينَادَابَ يَسُوقَانِ الْعَرَبَةَ الْجَدِيدَةَ

4 And when they brought the Arke of God out of the house of Abinadab, that was at Gibeah, Ahio went before the Arke,

٤ الَّتِي عَلَيْهَا تَابُوتُ اللهِ. وَكَانَ أَخِيُو يَسِيرُ أَمَامَ التَّابُوتِ،

5 And Dauid and al the house of Israel played before the Lord on all instruments made of firre, and on harpes, and on Psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.

٥ وَدَاوُدُ وَسَائِرُ مُرَافِقِيهِ مِنَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ يَعْزِفُونَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ عَلَى كُلِّ أَنْوَاعِ الآلاتِ الْمَصْنُوعَةِ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّرْوِ، كَالْعِيدَانِ وَالرَّبَابِ والدُّفُوفِ وَالْجُنُوكِ وَالصُّنُوجِ.

6 And when they came to Nachons threshing floore, Vzzah put his hande to the Arke of God, and helde it: for the oxen did shake it.

٦ وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغُوا بَيْدَرَ نَاخُونَ تَعَثَّرَتِ الثِّيرَانُ الَّتِي تَجُرُّ الْعَرَبَةَ، فَمَدَّ عُزَّةُ يَدَهُ وَأَمْسَكَ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ خَوْفاً عَلَيْهِ مِنَ السُّقُوطِ.

7 And the Lord was verie wroth with Vzzah, and God smote him in the same place for his fault, and there he dyed by the Arke of God.

٧ فَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَهْلَكَهُ لأَجْلِ جَسَارَتِهِ وَجَهْلِهِ، فَمَاتَ هُنَاكَ بِجِوَارِ التَّابُوتِ.

8 And Dauid was displeased, because the Lord had smitten Vzzah: and he called the name of the place Perez Vzzah vntill this day.

٨ فَشَقَّ الأَمْرُ عَلَى دَاوُدَ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ أَهْلَكَ عُزَّةَ وَأَبَادَهُ. وَدَعَا ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعَ فَارَصَ عُزَّةَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ انْكِسَارُ عُزَّةَ) إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

9 Therefore Dauid that day feared the Lord, and sayd, How shall the Arke of the Lord come to mee?

٩ وَانْتَابَ دَاوُدَ الْخَوْفُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «كَيْفَ آخُذُ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ عِنْدِي؟»

10 So Dauid would not bring the Arke of the Lord vnto him into the citie of Dauid, but Dauid caried it into ye house of Obed-edom a Gittite.

١٠ وَلَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يَنْقُلَ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَيْهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، فَأَوْدَعَهُ بَيْتَ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ الْجَتِّيِّ.

11 And the Arke of the Lord continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite, three moneths, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom, and all his houshold.

١١ وَمَكَثَ التَّابُوتُ فِي بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ ثَلاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ، وَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ عُوبِيدَ وَكُلَّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ.

12 And one told King Dauid, saying, The Lord hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that hee hath, because of the Arke of God: therefore Dauid went and brought the Arke of God from the house of Obed-edom, into the citie of Dauid with gladnesse.

١٢ وَقِيلَ لِدَاوُدَ إِنَّ الرَّبَّ بَارَكَ بَيْتَ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ وَجَمِيعَ مَالَهُ بِفَضْلِ تَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ، فَمَضَى دَاوُدُ وَأَحْضَرَ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ مِنْ بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ بِبَهْجَةٍ.

13 And when they that bare the Arke of the Lord had gone sixe paces, he offred an oxe, and a fatte beast.

١٣ وَكَانَ كُلَّمَا خَطَا حَامِلُو التَّابُوتِ سِتَّ خَطْوَاتٍ يْذبَحُ دَاوُدُ ثَوْراً وَعِجْلاً مَعْلُوفاً.

14 And Dauid danced before the Lord with al his might, and was girded with a linnen Ephod.

١٤ وَرَاحَ دَاوُدُ يَرْقُصُ بِكُلِّ قُوَّتِهِ فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ وَهُوَ مُتَنَطِّقٌ بِأَفُودٍ مِنْ كَتَّانٍ.

15 So Dauid and all the house of Israel, brought the Arke of the Lord with shouting, and sound of trumpet.

١٥ وَهَكَذا نَقَلَ دَاوُدُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ وَسَطَ الْهُتَافِ وَأَصْوَاتِ الأَبْوَاقِ.

16 And as the Arke of the Lord came into the citie of Dauid, Michal Sauls daughter looked through a windowe, and sawe King Dauid leape, and dance before the Lord, and shee despised him in her heart.

١٦ وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ مَوْكِبُ تَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ مَدِينَةَ دَاوُدَ، أَطَلَّتْ مِيكَالُ بِنْتُ شَاوُلَ مِنَ الْكَوَّةِ، وَشَاهَدَتِ الْمَلِكَ دَاوُدَ يَقْفِزُ وَيَرْقُصُ فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ، فَاحْتَقَرَتْهُ فِي نَفْسِهَا.

17 And when they had brought in the Arke of the Lord, they set it in his place, in the mids of the tabernacle that Dauid had pitched for it: then Dauid offred burnt offrings, and peace offrings before the Lord.

١٧ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلُوا تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَى الْخَيْمَةِ الَّتِي نَصَبَهَا دَاوُدُ، وَأَقَامُوهُ فِي وَسَطِهَا وَقَرَّبَ دَاوُدُ مُحْرَقاتٍ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، وَذَبَائِحَ سَلامٍ.

18 And assoone as Dauid had made an ende of offring burnt offrings and peace offrings, hee blessed the people in the Name of the Lord of hostes,

١٨ وَحِينَ فَرَغَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ إِصْعَادِ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَذَبَائِحِ السَّلامِ بَارَكَ الشَّعْبَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ.

19 And gaue among all the people, euen among the whole multitude of Israel, aswel to the women as men, to euerie one a cake of bread, and a piece of flesh, and a bottell of wine: so all the people departed euerie one to his house.

١٩ وَوَزَّعَ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، رِجَالاً وَنِسَاءً، رَغِيفَ خُبْزٍ وَكَأْسَ خَمْرٍ وَقُرْصَ زَبِيبٍ، ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ.

20 The Dauid returned to blesse his house, and Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meete Dauid, and sayde, O howe glorious was the King of Israel this day, which was vncouered to day in the eyes of the maidens of his seruantes, as a foole vncouereth himselfe.

٢٠ وَرَجَعَ دَاوُدُ لِيُبَارِكَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ، فَخَرَجَتْ مِيكَالُ بِنْتُ شَاوُلَ لِلِقَائِهِ قَائِلَةً: «مَا كَانَ أَعْظَمَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْيَوْمَ، حِينَ اسْتَعْرَضَ نَفْسَهُ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ إِمَاءِ خُدَّامِهِ، كَمَا يَسْتَعْرِضُ أَحَدُ السُّفَهَاءِ نَفْسَهُ».

21 Then Dauid sayd vnto Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose me rather then thy father, and all his house, and commanded me to bee ruler ouer the people of the Lord, euen ouer Israel: and therefore will I play before the Lord,

٢١ فَأَجَابَهَا دَاوُدُ: «إِنَّمَا احْتَفَلْتُ فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي اخْتَارَنِي دُونَ أَبِيكِ وَدُونَ أَيٍّ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ لِيُقِيمَنِي رَئِيساً عَلَى شَعْبِ الرَّبِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

22 And will yet be more vile then thus, and will be low in mine owne sight, and of the verie same maidseruants, which thou hast spoken of, shall I be had in honour.

٢٢ وَإِنِّي لأَتَصَاغَرُ دُونَ ذَلِكَ وَأَكُونُ وَضِيعاً فِي عَيْنَيْ نَفْسِي، وَلَكِنِّي أَتَمَجَّدُ عِنْدَ الإِمَاءِ اللَّوَاتِي ذَكَرْتِهِنَّ».

23 Therfore Michal the daughter of Saul had no childe vnto the day of her death.

٢٣ وَلَمْ تُنْجِبْ مِيكَالُ بِنْتُ شَاوُلَ وَلَداً إِلَى يَوْمِ مَوْتِهَا.
