2 Samuel 6

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

Congregavit autem rursum David omnes electos ex Israel triginta millia.

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.

Surrexitque David, et abiit, et universus populus, qui erat cum eo de viris Iuda, ut adducerent arcam Dei, super quam invocatum est nomen Domini exercituum, sedentis in cherubim super eam.

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;

Et imposuerunt arcam Dei super plaustrum novum: tuleruntque eam de domo Abinadab, qui erat in Gabaa: Oza autem, et Ahio filii Abinadab, minabant plaustrum novum.

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,

Cumque tulissent eam de domo Abinadab, qui erat in Gabaa, custodiens arcam Dei Ahio praecedebat arcam.

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.

David autem, et omnis Israel ludebant coram Domino in omnibus lignis fabrefactis, et citharis et lyris et tympanis et sistris et cymbalis.

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;

Postquam autem venerunt ad Aream Nachor, extendit Oza manum ad arcam Dei, et tenuit eam: quoniam calcitrabant boves, et declinaverunt eam.

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.

Iratusque est indignatione Dominus contra Ozam, et percussit eum super temeritate: qui mortuus est ibi iuxta arcam Dei.

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;

Contristatus est autem David, eo quod percussisset Dominus Ozam, et vocatum est nomen loci illius: Percussio Ozae usque in diem hanc.

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

Et extimuit David Dominum in die illa, dicens: Quo modo ingredietur ad me arca Domini?

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,

Et noluit divertere ad se arcam Domini in civitatem David: sed divertit eam in domum Obededom Gethaei.

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.

Et habitavit arca Domini in domo Obededom Gethaei tribus mensibus: et benedixit Dominus Obededom, et omnem domum eius.

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.

Nunciatumque est regi David quod benedixisset Dominus Obededom, et omnia eius propter arcam Dei. Dixitque David: Ibo, et reducam arcam cum benedictione in domum meam. Abiit ergo David, et adduxit arcam Dei de domo Obededom in civitatem David cum gaudio: et erant cum David septem chori, et victima vituli.

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.

Cumque transcendissent qui portabant arcam Domini sex passus, immolabat bovem et ovem et arietem,

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

et David percutiebat in organis armigatis, et saltabat totis viribus ante Dominum. porro David erat accinctus ephod lineo.

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,

Et David, et omnis domus Israel ducebant arcam testamenti Domini, in iubilo, et in clangore buccinae.

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.

Cumque intrasset arca Domini in civitatem David, Michol filia Saul prospiciens per fenestram, vidit regem David subsilientem, atque saltantem coram Domino: et despexit eum in corde suo.

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.

Et introduxerunt arcam Domini, et imposuerunt eam in loco suo in medio tabernaculi, quod tetenderat ei David: et obtulit David holocausta, et pacifica coram Domino.

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,

Cumque complesset offerens holocausta et pacifica, benedixit populo in nomine Domini exercituum.

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.

Et partitus est universae multitudini Israel tam viro quam mulieri singulis collyridam panis unam, et assaturam bubalae carnis unam, et similam frixam oleo: et abiit omnis populus, unusquisque in domum suam.

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!”

Reversusque est David ut benediceret domui suae: et egressa Michol filia Saul in occursum David, ait: Quam gloriosus fuit hodie rex Israel discooperiens se ante ancillas servorum suorum, et nudatus est, quasi si nudetur unus de scurris.

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;

Dixitque David ad Michol: Vivit Dominus, quia ludam, Ante Dominum, qui elegit me potius quam patrem tuum, et quam omnem domum eius, et praecepit mihi ut essem dux super populum Domini in Israel,

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.”

et ludam, et vilior fiam plus quam factus sum: et ero humilis in oculis meis: et cum ancillis, de quibus locuta es, gloriosior apparebo.

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

Igitur Michol filiae Saul non est natus filius usque in diem mortis suae.
