2 Samuel 6

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

Tena Daudi akakusanya watu 30,000 wa Israeli waliochaguliwa.

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.

Yeye na watu wake wote wakatoka Baala ya Yuda kulipandisha Sanduku la Mungu kutoka huko, linaloitwa kwa Jina, naam, jina la Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, ambaye anaketi katika kiti cha enzi kati ya makerubi walioko juu ya hilo Sanduku.

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;

Wakaweka hilo Sanduku la Mungu juu ya gari jipya la kukokotwa na kulileta kutoka nyumba ya Abinadabu, iliyokuwa juu ya kilima. Uza na Ahio, wana wa Abinadabu, walikuwa wakiongoza hilo gari jipya la kukokotwa

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,

likiwa na Sanduku la Mungu juu yake, naye Ahio alikuwa anatembea akiwa mbele yake.

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.

Daudi na nyumba yote ya Israeli walikuwa wanacheza mbele za Bwana kwa nguvu zao zote, kwa nyimbo, vinubi, zeze, matari, kayamba na matoazi.

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;

Walipofika kwenye uwanja wa kupuria nafaka wa Nakoni, Uza akanyoosha mkono na kulishika Sanduku la Mungu kwa sababu maksai walijikwaa.

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.

Hasira ya Bwana ikawaka dhidi ya Uza kwa sababu ya kitendo chake cha kukosa heshima, kwa hiyo Mungu akampiga akafia papo hapo kando ya Sanduku la Mungu.

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;

Ndipo Daudi akakasirika kwa sababu ghadhabu ya Bwana ilifurika dhidi ya Uza, hivyo hadi leo mahali hapo panaitwa Peres-Uza.

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

Daudi akamwogopa Bwana siku ile, akasema, “Ni jinsi gani Sanduku la Bwana litakavyoweza kunijia?”

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,

Hakuwa radhi kulichukua Sanduku la Bwana kwake katika Mji wa Daudi. Badala yake akalipeleka kwenye nyumba ya Obed-Edomu, Mgiti.

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.

Sanduku la Bwana likabaki katika nyumba ya Obed-Edomu, Mgiti, kwa miezi mitatu, naye Bwana akambariki pamoja na nyumba yake yote.

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.

Kisha Mfalme Daudi akaambiwa, “Bwana ameibariki nyumba ya Obed-Edomu pamoja na kila alicho nacho, kwa sababu ya Sanduku la Mungu.” Basi Daudi akateremka na kulipandisha Sanduku la Mungu kutoka nyumba ya Obed-Edomu hadi Mji wa Daudi kwa shangwe.

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.

Wale waliokuwa wamebeba Sanduku la Bwana walipokuwa wametembea hatua sita, Daudi alitoa dhabihu fahali na ndama aliyenoneshwa.

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

Daudi, akiwa amevaa kisibau cha kitani, alicheza mbele za Bwana kwa nguvu zake zote,

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,

wakati yeye na nyumba yote ya Israeli walipopandisha Sanduku la Bwana kwa shangwe na sauti za tarumbeta.

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.

Ikawa Sanduku la Bwana lilipokuwa linaingia katika Mji wa Daudi, Mikali binti Sauli akachungulia dirishani. Naye alipomwona Mfalme Daudi akirukaruka na kucheza mbele za Bwana, akamdharau moyoni mwake.

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.

Wakaleta Sanduku la Bwana na kuliweka mahali pake ndani ya hema ambalo Daudi alikuwa amelisimamisha kwa ajili yake, naye Daudi akatoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani mbele za Bwana.

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,

Baada ya kumaliza kutoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani, Daudi akawabariki watu katika jina la Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.

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.

Kisha akatoa mkate, andazi la tende na andazi la zabibu kavu kwa kila mtu katika mkutano wote wa Waisraeli, wanaume kwa wanawake. Nao watu wote wakaenda nyumbani kwao.

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!”

Daudi aliporudi ili kuwabariki watu wa nyumbani mwake, Mikali binti Sauli akatoka nje kumlaki, akamwambia, “Tazama jinsi mfalme wa Israeli alivyojibainisha mwenyewe leo kwa kuvua mavazi yake machoni pa vijakazi wa watumishi wake, kama vile ambavyo mtu asiye na adabu angelifanya!”

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;

Daudi akamwambia Mikali, “Nilifanya hivyo mbele za Bwana ambaye alinichagua mimi badala ya baba yako au mwingine yeyote kutoka nyumba yake wakati aliponiweka niwe mtawala juu ya Israeli, watu wa Bwana. Kwa hiyo nitacheza mbele za Bwana.

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.”

Nitakuwa asiye na heshima zaidi kuliko sasa, nami nitajishusha machoni pangu mwenyewe. Lakini kwa hawa vijakazi uliosema habari zao nitaheshimiwa.”

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

Naye Mikali binti Sauli hakuwa na watoto mpaka siku ya kufa kwake.
