2 Samuel 6

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

Tena Daudi akakusanya watu 30,000 wa Israeli waliochaguliwa.

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.

Yeye na watu wake wote wakatoka Baala ya Yuda kulipandisha Sanduku la Mungu kutoka huko, linaloitwa kwa Jina, naam, jina la Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, ambaye anaketi katika kiti cha enzi kati ya makerubi walioko juu ya hilo Sanduku.

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.

Wakaweka hilo Sanduku la Mungu juu ya gari jipya la kukokotwa na kulileta kutoka nyumba ya Abinadabu, iliyokuwa juu ya kilima. Uza na Ahio, wana wa Abinadabu, walikuwa wakiongoza hilo gari jipya la kukokotwa

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

likiwa na Sanduku la Mungu juu yake, naye Ahio alikuwa anatembea akiwa mbele yake.

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.

Daudi na nyumba yote ya Israeli walikuwa wanacheza mbele za Bwana kwa nguvu zao zote, kwa nyimbo, vinubi, zeze, matari, kayamba na matoazi.

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.

Walipofika kwenye uwanja wa kupuria nafaka wa Nakoni, Uza akanyoosha mkono na kulishika Sanduku la Mungu kwa sababu maksai walijikwaa.

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.

Hasira ya Bwana ikawaka dhidi ya Uza kwa sababu ya kitendo chake cha kukosa heshima, kwa hiyo Mungu akampiga akafia papo hapo kando ya Sanduku la Mungu.

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

Ndipo Daudi akakasirika kwa sababu ghadhabu ya Bwana ilifurika dhidi ya Uza, hivyo hadi leo mahali hapo panaitwa Peres-Uza.

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

Daudi akamwogopa Bwana siku ile, akasema, “Ni jinsi gani Sanduku la Bwana litakavyoweza kunijia?”

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.

Hakuwa radhi kulichukua Sanduku la Bwana kwake katika Mji wa Daudi. Badala yake akalipeleka kwenye nyumba ya Obed-Edomu, Mgiti.

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.

Sanduku la Bwana likabaki katika nyumba ya Obed-Edomu, Mgiti, kwa miezi mitatu, naye Bwana akambariki pamoja na nyumba yake yote.

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.

Kisha Mfalme Daudi akaambiwa, “Bwana ameibariki nyumba ya Obed-Edomu pamoja na kila alicho nacho, kwa sababu ya Sanduku la Mungu.” Basi Daudi akateremka na kulipandisha Sanduku la Mungu kutoka nyumba ya Obed-Edomu hadi Mji wa Daudi kwa shangwe.

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

Wale waliokuwa wamebeba Sanduku la Bwana walipokuwa wametembea hatua sita, Daudi alitoa dhabihu fahali na ndama aliyenoneshwa.

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

Daudi, akiwa amevaa kisibau cha kitani, alicheza mbele za Bwana kwa nguvu zake zote,

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

wakati yeye na nyumba yote ya Israeli walipopandisha Sanduku la Bwana kwa shangwe na sauti za tarumbeta.

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.

Ikawa Sanduku la Bwana lilipokuwa linaingia katika Mji wa Daudi, Mikali binti Sauli akachungulia dirishani. Naye alipomwona Mfalme Daudi akirukaruka na kucheza mbele za Bwana, akamdharau moyoni mwake.

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.

Wakaleta Sanduku la Bwana na kuliweka mahali pake ndani ya hema ambalo Daudi alikuwa amelisimamisha kwa ajili yake, naye Daudi akatoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani mbele za Bwana.

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,

Baada ya kumaliza kutoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani, Daudi akawabariki watu katika jina la Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.

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.

Kisha akatoa mkate, andazi la tende na andazi la zabibu kavu kwa kila mtu katika mkutano wote wa Waisraeli, wanaume kwa wanawake. Nao watu wote wakaenda nyumbani kwao.

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.

Daudi aliporudi ili kuwabariki watu wa nyumbani mwake, Mikali binti Sauli akatoka nje kumlaki, akamwambia, “Tazama jinsi mfalme wa Israeli alivyojibainisha mwenyewe leo kwa kuvua mavazi yake machoni pa vijakazi wa watumishi wake, kama vile ambavyo mtu asiye na adabu angelifanya!”

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,

Daudi akamwambia Mikali, “Nilifanya hivyo mbele za Bwana ambaye alinichagua mimi badala ya baba yako au mwingine yeyote kutoka nyumba yake wakati aliponiweka niwe mtawala juu ya Israeli, watu wa Bwana. Kwa hiyo nitacheza mbele za Bwana.

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.

Nitakuwa asiye na heshima zaidi kuliko sasa, nami nitajishusha machoni pangu mwenyewe. Lakini kwa hawa vijakazi uliosema habari zao nitaheshimiwa.”

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

Naye Mikali binti Sauli hakuwa na watoto mpaka siku ya kufa kwake.
