2 Samuel 6

1 And again David gathered every chosen one in Israel—thirty thousand,

١ وَحَشَدَ دَاوُدُ ثَلاثِينَ أَلْفاً مِنْ صَفْوَةِ الْمُخْتَارِينَ مِنْ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

2 and David rises and goes, and all the people who [are] with him, from Ba‘ale-Judah, to bring up the Ark of God from there, whose name has been called—the Name of YHWH of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubim—on it.

٢ وَانْطَلَقَ بِهِمْ مِنْ بَعَلَةِ يَهُوذَا لِيَنْقُلُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ الْجَالِسِ فَوْقَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ.

3 And they cause the Ark of God to ride on a new cart, and lift it up from the house of Abinadab, which [is] in the height, and Uzzah and Ahio sons of Abinadab are leading the new cart;

٣ فَوَضَعُوا تَابُوتَ اللهِ عَلَى عَرَبَةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ وَحَمَلُوهُ مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِينَادَابَ الْقَائِمِ عَلَى التَّلَّةِ، وَكَانَ كُلٌّ مِنْ عُزَّةَ وَأَخِيُو ابْنَيْ أَبِينَادَابَ يَسُوقَانِ الْعَرَبَةَ الْجَدِيدَةَ

4 and they lift it up from the house of Abinadab, which [is] in the height, with the Ark of God, and Ahio is going before the Ark,

٤ الَّتِي عَلَيْهَا تَابُوتُ اللهِ. وَكَانَ أَخِيُو يَسِيرُ أَمَامَ التَّابُوتِ،

5 and David and all the house of Israel are playing before YHWH, with all kinds of [instruments] of fir-wood, even with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with horns, and with cymbals.

٥ وَدَاوُدُ وَسَائِرُ مُرَافِقِيهِ مِنَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ يَعْزِفُونَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ عَلَى كُلِّ أَنْوَاعِ الآلاتِ الْمَصْنُوعَةِ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّرْوِ، كَالْعِيدَانِ وَالرَّبَابِ والدُّفُوفِ وَالْجُنُوكِ وَالصُّنُوجِ.

6 And they come to the threshing-floor of Nachon, and Uzzah puts forth [his hand] to the Ark of God, and lays hold on it, for they released the oxen;

٦ وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغُوا بَيْدَرَ نَاخُونَ تَعَثَّرَتِ الثِّيرَانُ الَّتِي تَجُرُّ الْعَرَبَةَ، فَمَدَّ عُزَّةُ يَدَهُ وَأَمْسَكَ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ خَوْفاً عَلَيْهِ مِنَ السُّقُوطِ.

7 and the anger of YHWH burns against Uzzah, and God strikes him there for the error, and he dies there by the Ark of God.

٧ فَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَهْلَكَهُ لأَجْلِ جَسَارَتِهِ وَجَهْلِهِ، فَمَاتَ هُنَاكَ بِجِوَارِ التَّابُوتِ.

8 And it is displeasing to David, because that YHWH has broken forth a breach on Uzzah, and [one] calls that place Perez-Uzzah to this day;

٨ فَشَقَّ الأَمْرُ عَلَى دَاوُدَ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ أَهْلَكَ عُزَّةَ وَأَبَادَهُ. وَدَعَا ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعَ فَارَصَ عُزَّةَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ انْكِسَارُ عُزَّةَ) إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

9 and David fears YHWH on that day and says, “How does the Ark of YHWH come to me?”

٩ وَانْتَابَ دَاوُدَ الْخَوْفُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «كَيْفَ آخُذُ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ عِنْدِي؟»

10 And David has not been willing to turn aside the Ark of YHWH to himself, to the City of David, and David turns it aside to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite,

١٠ وَلَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يَنْقُلَ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَيْهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، فَأَوْدَعَهُ بَيْتَ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ الْجَتِّيِّ.

11 and the Ark of YHWH inhabits the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite [for] three months, and YHWH blesses Obed-Edom and all his house.

١١ وَمَكَثَ التَّابُوتُ فِي بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ ثَلاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ، وَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ عُوبِيدَ وَكُلَّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ.

12 And it is declared to King David, saying, “YHWH has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he has, because of the Ark of God”; and David goes and brings up the Ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with joy.

١٢ وَقِيلَ لِدَاوُدَ إِنَّ الرَّبَّ بَارَكَ بَيْتَ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ وَجَمِيعَ مَالَهُ بِفَضْلِ تَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ، فَمَضَى دَاوُدُ وَأَحْضَرَ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ مِنْ بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ بِبَهْجَةٍ.

13 And it comes to pass, when those carrying the Ark of YHWH have stepped six steps, that he sacrifices an ox and a fatling.

١٣ وَكَانَ كُلَّمَا خَطَا حَامِلُو التَّابُوتِ سِتَّ خَطْوَاتٍ يْذبَحُ دَاوُدُ ثَوْراً وَعِجْلاً مَعْلُوفاً.

14 And David is dancing with all [his] strength before YHWH, and David is girded with a linen ephod,

١٤ وَرَاحَ دَاوُدُ يَرْقُصُ بِكُلِّ قُوَّتِهِ فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ وَهُوَ مُتَنَطِّقٌ بِأَفُودٍ مِنْ كَتَّانٍ.

15 and David and all the house of Israel are bringing up the Ark of YHWH with shouting, and with the voice of a horn,

١٥ وَهَكَذا نَقَلَ دَاوُدُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ وَسَطَ الْهُتَافِ وَأَصْوَاتِ الأَبْوَاقِ.

16 and it has come to pass, the Ark of YHWH has come into the City of David, and Michal daughter of Saul has looked through the window and sees King David moving and dancing before YHWH, and she despises him in her heart.

١٦ وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ مَوْكِبُ تَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ مَدِينَةَ دَاوُدَ، أَطَلَّتْ مِيكَالُ بِنْتُ شَاوُلَ مِنَ الْكَوَّةِ، وَشَاهَدَتِ الْمَلِكَ دَاوُدَ يَقْفِزُ وَيَرْقُصُ فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ، فَاحْتَقَرَتْهُ فِي نَفْسِهَا.

17 And they bring in the Ark of YHWH, and set it up in its place, in the midst of the tent which David has spread out for it, and David causes burnt-offerings and peace-offerings to ascend before YHWH.

١٧ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلُوا تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَى الْخَيْمَةِ الَّتِي نَصَبَهَا دَاوُدُ، وَأَقَامُوهُ فِي وَسَطِهَا وَقَرَّبَ دَاوُدُ مُحْرَقاتٍ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، وَذَبَائِحَ سَلامٍ.

18 And David finishes from causing the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings to ascend, and blesses the people in the Name of YHWH of Hosts,

١٨ وَحِينَ فَرَغَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ إِصْعَادِ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَذَبَائِحِ السَّلامِ بَارَكَ الشَّعْبَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ.

19 and he apportions to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, from man and to woman, to each, one cake of bread, and one eshpar, and one ashisha, and all the people go, each to his house.

١٩ وَوَزَّعَ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، رِجَالاً وَنِسَاءً، رَغِيفَ خُبْزٍ وَكَأْسَ خَمْرٍ وَقُرْصَ زَبِيبٍ، ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ.

20 And David turns back to bless his house, and Michal daughter of Saul goes out to meet David and says, “How honorable was the king of Israel today, who was uncovered today before the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain ones is openly uncovered!”

٢٠ وَرَجَعَ دَاوُدُ لِيُبَارِكَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ، فَخَرَجَتْ مِيكَالُ بِنْتُ شَاوُلَ لِلِقَائِهِ قَائِلَةً: «مَا كَانَ أَعْظَمَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْيَوْمَ، حِينَ اسْتَعْرَضَ نَفْسَهُ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ إِمَاءِ خُدَّامِهِ، كَمَا يَسْتَعْرِضُ أَحَدُ السُّفَهَاءِ نَفْسَهُ».

21 And David says to Michal, “Before YHWH, who fixed on me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me leader over the people of YHWH, and over Israel—indeed, I played before YHWH;

٢١ فَأَجَابَهَا دَاوُدُ: «إِنَّمَا احْتَفَلْتُ فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي اخْتَارَنِي دُونَ أَبِيكِ وَدُونَ أَيٍّ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ لِيُقِيمَنِي رَئِيساً عَلَى شَعْبِ الرَّبِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

22 and I have been more vile than this, and have been low in my eyes, and with the handmaids whom you have spoken of, I am honored with them.”

٢٢ وَإِنِّي لأَتَصَاغَرُ دُونَ ذَلِكَ وَأَكُونُ وَضِيعاً فِي عَيْنَيْ نَفْسِي، وَلَكِنِّي أَتَمَجَّدُ عِنْدَ الإِمَاءِ اللَّوَاتِي ذَكَرْتِهِنَّ».

23 As for Michal daughter of Saul, she had no child until the day of her death.

٢٣ وَلَمْ تُنْجِبْ مِيكَالُ بِنْتُ شَاوُلَ وَلَداً إِلَى يَوْمِ مَوْتِهَا.
