2 Samuel 6

1 And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

Kemudian Daud memanggil lagi prajurit-prajurit yang terbaik di Israel supaya berkumpul, jumlahnya 30.000 orang.

2 And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him, from Baale-judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whereupon is called the Name, even the name of the LORD of hosts that sitteth upon the cherubim.

Mereka dipimpinnya menuju ke Baale-Yehuda, untuk mengambil dari sana Peti Perjanjian yang disebut dengan nama TUHAN Mahakuasa yang bertahta di atas kerub-kerub.

3 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.

Peti Perjanjian itu diambil dari rumah Abinadab di atas bukit dan dinaikkan ke dalam pedati yang baru. Lalu Uza dan Ahio, anak-anak Abinadab mengiringi pedati itu; Uza berjalan di sampingnya,

4 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in the hill, with the ark of God, and Ahio went before the ark.

dan Ahio berjalan di depannya.

5 And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD with all manner of instruments made of cypress-wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with sistra, and with cymbals.

Daud dan seluruh bangsa Israel berjalan di depan Peti itu sambil menari-nari sekuat tenaga dan bernyanyi-nyanyi untuk menghormati TUHAN. Mereka bermain kecapi, gambus, rebana, kelentingan, dan simbal.

6 And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen stumbled.

Ketika mereka sampai di tempat pengirikan gandum milik Nakhon, sapi-sapi yang menarik pedati itu tersandung, lalu Uza mengulurkan tangannya dan memegang Peti Perjanjian itu supaya jangan jatuh.

7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.

Pada saat itu juga TUHAN Allah menjadi marah kepada Uza, karena perbuatannya itu merupakan penghinaan kepada TUHAN. Uza dibunuh-Nya di tempat itu, di dekat Peti Perjanjian.

8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth upon Uzzah; and that place was called Perez-uzzah, unto this day

Maka sejak saat itu tempat itu disebut Peres-Uza. Daud marah karena TUHAN membinasakan Uza.

9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said: 'How shall the ark of the LORD come unto me?'

Tetapi Daud takut juga kepada TUHAN dan berkata, "Sekarang bagaimana Peti Perjanjian itu dapat kubawa?"

10 So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

Sebab itu ia tidak mau lagi membawa Peti Perjanjian itu ke Yerusalem, melainkan menyimpannya di rumah Obed-Edom orang Gat.

11 And the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months; and the LORD blessed Obed-edom, and all his house.

Peti Perjanjian itu tinggal di situ tiga bulan lamanya, dan TUHAN memberkati Obed-Edom dan keluarganya.

12 And it was told king David, saying: 'The LORD hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God.' And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with joy.

Raja Daud mendengar bahwa TUHAN memberkati keluarga Obed-Edom dan segala miliknya karena Peti Perjanjian itu. Maka pergilah ia ke rumah Obed-Edom, mengambil Peti untuk memindahkannya ke Yerusalem dengan perayaan besar.

13 And it was so, that when they that bore the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.

Ketika orang-orang yang mengangkat Peti Perjanjian itu sudah berjalan enam langkah, Daud menyuruh mereka berhenti. Lalu ia mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN, yaitu sapi jantan dan anak sapi yang digemukkan.

14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

Kemudian Daud menari-nari dengan penuh semangat untuk menghormati TUHAN. Pada waktu itu ia hanya memakai sarung linen pendek yang diikat pada pinggangnya.

15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the horn.

Demikianlah Daud dan seluruh rakyat Israel memindahkan Peti Perjanjian itu ke Yerusalem, diiringi sorak-sorai dan bunyi trompet.

16 And it was so, as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

Ketika Peti itu sedang dibawa masuk ke dalam kota, Mikhal putri Saul menjenguk dari jendela lalu melihat Raja Daud melompat-lompat dan menari-nari untuk menghormati TUHAN, dan Mikhal merasa muak melihat Daud.

17 And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the LORD.

Peti Perjanjian itu diletakkan di tempatnya di dalam kemah yang telah dipasang oleh Daud untuk Peti itu. Kemudian Daud mempersembahkan kurban bakaran dan kurban perdamaian kepada TUHAN.

18 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.

Lalu ia memberkati rakyat Israel dengan nama TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa.

19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a cake made in a pan, and a sweet cake. So all the people departed every one to his house.

Kemudian membagi-bagikan makanan kepada mereka semua. Setiap orang yang ada di situ baik laki-laki maupun wanita diberinya sepotong daging panggang, roti dan kue kismis. Setelah itu mereka semua pulang ke rumahnya masing-masing.

20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said: 'How did the king of Israel get him honour to-day, who uncovered himself to-day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!'

Pada waktu Daud pulang ke istana untuk memberi salam kepada keluarganya, Mikhal ke luar mendapatkan Daud dan berkata, "Hari ini raja Israel sungguh-sungguh membuat dirinya terhormat! Ia telah bertelanjang seperti orang dungu yang tak tahu malu di depan budak-budak perempuan milik para pegawai istana!"

21 And David said unto Michal: 'Before the LORD, who chose me above thy father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of the LORD, over Israel, before the LORD will I make merry.

Daud menjawab, "Aku menari untuk menghormati TUHAN, yang telah menolak ayahmu serta keluarganya, lalu memilih aku menjadi pemimpin Israel, umat-Nya. Sebab itu aku akan terus menari untuk menghormati TUHAN.

22 And I will be yet more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight; and with the handmaids whom thou hast spoken of, with them will I get me honour.'

Bahkan aku bersedia dihina lebih daripada tadi. Boleh saja engkau memandang rendah kepadaku, tetapi budak-budak yang kausebutkan tadi, akan menghargai aku!"

23 And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.

Mikhal, putri Saul itu tidak beranak seumur hidupnya.
