2 Samuel 6
1 Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
Basi kwa mara nyingine Daudi akawakusanya wateuli wa Israeli, elfu thelathini.
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 dwells between the cherubims.
Daudi akainuka na akaenda na watu wake wote waliokuwa pamoja naye kutoka Baala ulioko Yuda ili alilete sanduku la Mungu, liitwalo kwa jina la Yahwe wa majeshi, akaaye juu ya makerubi.
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, drove the new cart.
Wakaliweka sanduku la Mungu juu ya mkokoteni mpya. Wakalitoa katika nyumba ya Abinadabu, iliyokuwa juu ya kilima. Uza na Ahio, wanawe, wakauongoza mkokoteni.
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.
Wakautoa mkokoteni na sanduku la Mungu juu yake nyumbani mwa Abinadabu juu ya kilima. Ahio alikuwa ametangulia mbele ya sanduku.
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.
Kisha Daudi na nyumba yote ya Israeli wakaanza kucheza mbele ya Yahwe, wakishangilia kwa vyombo vya mziki, vinubi, vinanda, matari, kayamba na matowazi.
6 And when they came to Nachon's threshing floor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.
Hata walipofika katika shinikizo la Nasoni, wale ng'ombe wakakwama, Uza akanyosha mkono wake na kulikumbatia sanduku la Mungu, naye akalishikilia.
7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God stroke him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
Kisha asira ya Yahweh ikawaka dhidi ya Uza. Mungu akampiga kwa ajili ya dhambi yake. Uza akafa pale pale kando ya sandaku la Mungu.
8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.
Daudi akakasirika kwa kuwa Yahwe alimpiga Uza, naye akapaita mahali pale Peresi Uza. Eneo hilo linaitwa Peres Uza hata leo.
9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?
Daudi akamwogopa Yahweh siku hiyo. Akasema, “Sanduku la Yahwe lawezaje kuja kwangu?”
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 Obededom the Gittite.
Hivyo Daudi hakuwatayari tena kulichukua sanduku la Yahwe katika mji wa Daudi. Badala yake, akaliweka kando katika nyumba ya Obedi Edomu Mgiti.
11 And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.
Sanduku la Yahwe likakaa katika nyumba ya Obedi Edomu Mgiti kwa miezi mitatu. Kwa hiyo Yahwe akambariki yeye na nyumba yake yote.
12 And it was told king David, saying, The LORD has blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertains unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.
Kisha mfalme Daudi akaambiwa, “Yahwe ameibariki nyumba ya Obedi Edomu na kila kitu alichonacho kwa sababu ya sanduku la Mungu.” Hivyo Daudi akaenda na kulipandisha sanduku la Mungu kutoka katika nyumba ya Obedi Edomu hadi mji wa Daudi kwa furaha.
13 And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
Ikawa waliolibeba sanduku la Yahwe walipochukua hatua sita, akatoa sadaka ng'ombe na ndama aliyenona.
14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
Daudi akacheza mbele ya Yahwe kwa nguvu zake zote; alikuwa amevaa naivera ya kitani pekee.
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.
Hivyo Daudi na nyumba yote ya Israeli wakalipandisha sanduku la Yahwe kwa vifijo na sauti za tarumbeta.
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.
Hata ikawa sanduku la Yahwe lilipofika mjini mwa Daudi, Mikali, binti Sauli, alichungulia dirishani. Akamwona mfalme Daudi akiruka na kucheza mbele ya Yahwe. Akamdharau moyoni mwake.
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.
Wakaliingiza sanduku la Yahwe na kuliweka mahali pake, katikati ya hema ambayo Daudi alikuwa ameliwekea. Kisha Daudi akatoa sadaka ya kuteketezwa na matoleo ya amani mbele za Yahwe.
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.
Ikawa Daudi alipomaliza kutoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani, akawabariki watu kwa jina la Yahwe wa majeshi.
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.
Kisha akawagawia watu wote, umati wote wa Israeli, wanaume kwa wanawake, kipande cha mkate, nyama na keki ya zabibu. Kisha watu wote wakaondoka; kila mmoja akarudi kwake.
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 uncovers himself!
Kisha Daudi akarudi ili aibariki familia yake. Mikali, binti Sauli, akatoka ili akutane na Daudi naye akasema, “Jinsi gani mtukufu mfalme wa Israeli alivyokuwa leo, aliyejiacha uchi mbele ya macho ya vijakazi miongoni mwa watumishi wake, kama mmoja wa wapumbavu ambaye bila aibu hujifunua yeye mwenyewe!”
21 And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before your 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.
Daudi akamjibu Mikali, “Nilifanya hivyo mbele ya Yahwe, aliyenichagua juu ya baba yako na juu ya familia yake yote, aliyeniweka kuwa kiongozi juu ya watu wa Yahwe, juu ya Israeli. Mbele ya Yahwe nitafurahi!
22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which you have spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.
Nitakuwa nisiye na heshima hata zaidi ya hapa, na nitajishusha mbele za macho yangu mwenyewe. Lakini kwa hawa vijakazi uliowasema, nitaheshimiwa.”
23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
Hivyo Mikali, binti Sauli, hakuwa na watato hata alipokufa.
