2 Samuel 6

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

Pea naʻe toe tānaki fakataha ʻe Tevita ʻae kau ongoongoa ʻi ʻIsileli, ko e toko tolu mano.

2 And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the Lord of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.

Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Tevita, pea ne ʻalu ia mo e kakai naʻe ʻiate ia mei Peali ʻi Siuta, ke ʻomi mei ai ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku fakahingoa ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe selupimi.

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

Pea naʻa nau fakaheka ʻae puha ʻoe ʻOtua ki he saliote foʻou, ʻonau ʻomi ia ki he fale ʻo ʻApinatapi ʻaia naʻe ʻi Kipea: pea naʻe fakahinohinoʻi ʻae saliote foʻou ʻe Usa mo ʻAhio ko e ongo foha ʻo ʻApinatapi.

4 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.

Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia kituʻa mei he fale ʻo ʻApinatapi ʻaia naʻe ʻi Kipea: ʻonau ō mo e puha ʻoe ʻOtua; pea naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻa ʻAhio ʻi he puha.

5 And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.

Pea naʻe tā ʻe Tevita mo e fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi meʻa faiva kehekehe naʻe [ngaohi ]mei he ʻakau ko e paini, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi haʻape mo e ʻūtete, mo e lali iiki, mo e meʻa ifi, mo e simipale.

6 And when they came to Nachon’s threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.

Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko mai ki he potu hahaʻanga uite ʻo Nakoni, naʻe ala atu ʻe Usa ki he puha ʻoe ʻOtua, mo ne puke ki ai, koeʻuhi naʻe fakangalulu ia ʻe he fanga pulu.

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.

Pea naʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova kia Usa; pea naʻe taaʻi ia ʻi ai ʻe he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai hala; pea naʻa ne mate ʻi he potu ko ia ʻo ofi ki he puha ʻoe ʻOtua.

8 And David was displeased, because the Lord had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perez-uzzah to this day.

Pea naʻe ʻita ʻa Tevita koeʻuhi ko e teʻia ʻa Usa ʻe Sihova: pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ʻae potu ko ia ko Pelesi-Usa, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.

9 And David was afraid of the Lord that day, and said, How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?

Pea naʻe manavahē ʻa Tevita kia Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, mo ne pehē, “ʻE ʻomi fakafēfē ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova kiate au?”

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.

Ko ia naʻe ʻikai loto ʻa Tevita ke ʻomi kiate ia ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita: ka naʻe ʻave ʻo afe ʻaki ia ʻe Tevita ki he fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi ko e tangata Kati.

11 And the ark of the Lord continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and the Lord blessed Obed-edom, and all his household.

Pea naʻe nofo ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ʻi he fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi ko e tangata Kati ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu: pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻOpeti-ʻItomi, pea mo hono kaungā fale kotoa pē.

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. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.

Pea naʻe fakahā kia Tevita, ʻo pehē, Kuo fakamonūʻia ʻae fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana, koeʻuhi ko e puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua. Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Tevita ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae puha ʻoe ʻOtua mei he fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita, mo e fiefia.

13 And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he Lakaatu ʻakinautolu naʻe fua ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ʻi he lakaʻanga ʻe ono, naʻa ne feilaulau ʻaki ʻae fanga pulu mo e fanga manu sino.

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

Pea naʻe meʻe ʻa Tevita ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻaki ʻa ʻene mālohi kātoa; pea naʻe kofuʻaki ʻa Tevita ʻae ʻefoti ʻoe tupenu lelei.

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

Ko ia naʻe ʻomi ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ʻe Tevita mo e fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he kalanga, mo e ifi ʻaki ʻae meʻalea.

16 And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko atu ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita, naʻe sio ʻa Mikale ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula mei he kātupa, pea ne mamata kia Tevita naʻe hopo mo meʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; pea naʻa ne manuki ia ʻi hono loto.

17 And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.

Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ki loto ʻae puha ʻo Sihova, ʻo tuku ia ki hono potu, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ki ai ʻe Tevita: pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

18 And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.

Pea ʻi heʻene hili leva ʻae ʻatu ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, naʻa ne tāpuaki ʻae kakai ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi.

19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.

Pea naʻa ne tufaki atu ki he kakai kotoa pē, ki he fuʻu tokolahi kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he kau fefine pea mo e kakai tangata, ko e taki taha ha foʻi mā, mo ha konga lahi ʻoe kanomate, mo ha hina uaine. Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo taki taha ki hono fale ʻoʻona.

20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel 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!

Hili ia naʻe foki mai ʻa Tevita ke tāpuakiʻi ʻa hono kaungā nofoʻanga. Pea naʻe haʻu kituʻa ʻa Mikale ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula, ke ne fetaulaki mo Tevita, mo ne pehē ʻe ia, “Hono ʻikai ngalingali ʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli he ʻaho ni, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatelefuaʻi ia he ʻaho ni ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau fefine ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko e fakatelefua ʻoku fai ʻe ha tokotaha ʻoku fakalaukau mo e taʻeangamā!”

21 And David said unto Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel: therefore will I play before the Lord.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Mikale, “[Naʻe fai ia ʻi ]he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fili au ʻi he ʻao ʻo hoʻo tamai mo e ʻao ʻo hono fale kotoa pē, ke ne fakanofo au ko e pule ki he kakai ʻo Sihova, ki ʻIsileli: ko ia te u fakafiefia ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

Pea te u fai ke u mata kovi lahi hake ʻi he meʻa ni, pea te u matamata kovi ʻi hoku ʻao ʻoʻoku: pea ko e kau kaunanga kuo ke lea ki ai, ʻe fakahikihiki au ʻekinautolu.”

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

Ko ia naʻe ʻikai fānau ai ha tamasiʻi ʻe Mikale ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene pekia.
