2 Samuel 6
1 And David assembled again all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
Endå eingong stemnde David saman alt det utvalde mannskapet i Israel: tretti tusund mann.
2 And David arose, and went with all the people who were with him from Ba'ale-yehudah, to bring up from there the ark of God, the name of which was called by the name of the Lord of hosts, that dwelleth over the cherubim.
Og David gav seg på veg, og drog ut med alt sitt folk frå Ba’ale-Juda, og førde derifrå Guds kista, som heiter etter Herren, allhers drott, han som tronar på kerubarne.
3 And they conveyed the ark of God in a new wagon, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was on the hill; and 'Uzzah and Achyo, the sons of Abinadab, guided the new wagon.
Dei sette Guds kista på ei ny vogn og førde henne frå Abinadabs hus på haugen. Og Uzza og Ahjo Abinadabs-søner køyrde den nye vogni.
4 When they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was on the hill, [they were] near the ark of God; but Achyo went before the ark.
Soleis førde dei Guds kista burt frå Abinadabs hus på haugen, med di dei fylgde henne, og Ahjo gjekk fyre kista.
5 And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of fir-wood, and on harps, and on psalteries, and on tambourines, and with bells, and with cymbals.
David og heile Israels-ætti leika for Herren, til alle slag spel av cypresstre, til cithrar, harpor, trummor, bjøllor og cymblar.
6 And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nachon, 'Uzzah put forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.
Då dei kom burtimot treskjestaden åt Nakon, tok Uzza tak med henderne i Guds kista og heldt fast i henne, av di uksarne snåva.
7 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against 'Uzzah; and God smote him there for the error; and he died there by the ark of God.
Då loga Herrens harm upp mot Uzza. Og Gud slo honom for det brotet skuld. Og han fekk sin bane der attmed Guds kista.
8 And it was grievous to David, because the Lord had suddenly taken away 'Uzzah; and he called that place Perez-'uzzah [[Breach of 'Uzzah]] until this day.
David vart ille ved av di Herren øydelagde Uzza. Og den staden heite Peres-Uzza den dag i dag.
9 And David was afraid of the Lord on that day, and said, How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?
Men David vart so rædd for Herren den dagen, at han sagde: «Kor kann eg våga føra Herrens kista upp til meg!»
10 So David would not allow to have the ark of the Lord removed unto him into the city of David; but David had it carried round into the house of 'Obed-edom the Gittite.
Difor vilde ikkje David flytja Herrens kista upp til Davidsbyen, men let deim setja henne inn i huset åt gatiten Obed-Edom.
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 household.
So stod Herrens kista der i tri månader. Og Herren velsigna Obed-Edom og heile hans hus.
12 And it was told to 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 then went and brought up the ark of God from the house of 'Obed-edom into the city of David with joy.
Då kong David spurde at Herren velsigna huset åt Obed-Edom og all hans eigedom for Guds kista skuld, drog David av stad og flutta Guds kista derifrå og upp til Davidsbyen med stor fagnad.
13 And it happened, that when the bearers of the ark of the Lord had progressed six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.
Då dei som bar Herrens kista, hadde gjenge seks stig, ofra han ein ukse og ein gjødkalv.
14 And David danced with all his might before the Lord; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
David sjølv dansa av all magt framfor Herren i ein messehakel av lin.
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the cornet.
Soleis henta David og heile Israels-ætti Herrens kista dit upp med fagnadrop og lurljod.
16 And it happened, as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked through the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.
Då Herrens kista kom inn i Davidsbyen, stod Mikal Saulsdotter og såg ut igjenom vindauga. Då ho fekk sjå kong David sprang og dansa framfor Herren, då fekk ho vanvyrdnad for honom i sitt hjarta.
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 before the Lord and peace-offerings.
Då dei hadde ført Herrens kista upp, sette dei henne på sin stad midt i det tjeldet som David hadde reist åt henne. David ofra brennoffer og takkoffer for Herren.
18 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
Og då han var ferdig med desse ofringarne, velsigna han folket i namnet åt Herren, allhers drott.
19 And he dealt out to all the people, to the whole multitude of Israel, to both men and women, to every person one cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine: and all the people departed every one to his house.
Deretter skifte han ut åt heile folket, åt heile Israels-ålmugen, både åt kar og kvende, ei hellekaka, eit stykke kjøt og ei rosinkaka til manns. So gjekk heile folket heim kvar til seg.
20 And David then returned to bless his household. But Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and she said, How honored was today the king of Israel, who uncovered himself today before the eyes of the hand-maids of his servants, as only one of the low fellows can uncover himself!
Men då David kom heim og helsa husfolki sine, gjekk Mikal Saulsdotter til møtes med honom og sagde: «Kor måtte ikkje Israels konge kjenna seg høgvyrd i dag, med han i dag hev nækt seg framfor tenestgjentorne åt tenarane sine, soleis som skamlaust folk plar nækja seg.»
21 And David said unto Michal, Before the Lord, who chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to ordain me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel: —yea, before the Lord will I yet farther play.
David svara Mikal: «For Herrens åsyn hev eg dansa, han som valde meg ut framfor far din og framfor heile hans ætt, og sette meg til fyrste for Israel, Herrens folk. For Herrens åsyn var det eg dansa,
22 And should I be yet more vile than thus, and should I be base in my own eyes: yet among the maid-servants of whom thou hast spoken, yea, among them would I still be honored.
og småminka meg meir, og verta ring i mine augo. Men hjå dei tenestgjentorne du nemnde, hjå deim skal eg verta høgvyrd.»
23 And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child until the day of her death.
Mikal Saulsdotter vart verande barnlaus alt til sin døyande dag.
