< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
E tornou David a ajuntar todos os escolhidos de Israel, em numero de trinta mil.
2 And David arose, and went with all the people who were with him to Baalah, that is, Kiriath Jearim of Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called there by the name of the LORD enthroned on the cherubim.
E levantou-se David, e partiu com todo o povo que tinha comsigo de Baalim de Judah, para levarem d'ali para cima a arca de Deus, sobre a qual se invoca o nome, o nome do Senhor dos exercitos, que se assenta entre os cherubins.
3 And they set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was on the hill. And Uzza and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, guided the cart
E puzeram a arca de Deus em um carro novo, e a levaram da casa de Abinadab, que está em Gibeah: e Uza e Ahio, filhos de Abinadab, guiavam o carro novo.
4 with the ark; and Ahio was walking in front of the ark.
E levando-o da casa d'Abinadab, que está em Gibeah, com a arca de Deus, Ahio ia diante da arca.
5 And David and the children of Israel played before the LORD with all their strength and with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with castanets, and with cymbals.
E David, e toda a casa de Israel, fazia alegrias perante o Senhor, com toda a sorte de instrumentos de pau de faia: como com harpas, e com psalterios, e com tamboris, e com pandeiros, e com cymbalos.
6 And when they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzza reached out his hand to the ark of God, to steady it; for the oxen stumbled.
E, chegando á eira de Nachon, estendeu Uza a mão á arca de Deus, e teve mão n'ella; porque os bois a deixavam pender.
7 And the LORD became angry at Uzza; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died before God.
Então a ira do Senhor se accendeu contra Uza, e Deus o feriu ali por esta imprudencia: e morreu ali junto á arca de Deus.
8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.
E David se contristou, porque o Senhor abrira rotura em Uza; e chamou aquelle logar Peres-uza, até ao dia d'hoje.
9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, "How can the ark of God come to me?" Now the ark of the LORD arrived,
E temeu David ao Senhor n'aquelle dia; e disse: Como virá a mim a arca do Senhor?
10 but David was not willing to move the ark of the LORD with him to the City of David; so David diverted it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
E não quiz David retirar a si a arca do Senhor á cidade de David; mas David a fez levar á casa de Obed-edom, o getheo.
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 house.
E ficou a arca do Senhor em casa d'Obed-edom, o getheo, tres mezes: e abençoou o Senhor a Obed-edom, e a toda a sua casa.
12 And it was told king David, saying, "The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him because of the ark of God." And David said, "I will bring back the blessing to my house." And David went and brought up the ark of the LORD from the house of Obed-Edom into the City of David with joy.
Então avisaram a David, dizendo: Abençoou o Senhor a casa d'Obed-edom, e tudo quanto tem, por amor da arca de Deus; foi pois David, e trouxe a arca de Deus para cima, da casa de Obed-edom, á cidade de David, com alegria.
13 And it was so, that, when those who bore the ark had gone six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
E succedeu que, quando os que levavam a arca do Senhor tinham dado seis passos, sacrificava bois e carneiros cevados.
14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and he was clothed in a linen ephod.
E David saltava com todas as suas forças diante do Senhor: e estava David cingido d'um ephod de linho.
15 And David and all Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
Assim subindo, levavam David e todo o Israel a arca do Senhor, com jubilo, e ao som das trombetas.
16 Now, as the ark entered the City of David, Mikal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
E succedeu que, entrando a arca do Senhor na cidade de David, Michal, a filha de Saul, estava olhando pela janella: e, vendo ao rei David, que ia bailando e saltando diante do Senhor, o desprezou no seu coração.
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 set up for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
E introduzindo a arca do Senhor, a puzeram no seu logar, na tenda que David lhe armara: e offereceu David holocaustos e offertas pacificas perante o Senhor.
18 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.
E acabando David de offerecer os holocaustos e offertas pacificas, abençoou o povo em nome do Senhor dos exercitos.
19 And he gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. So all the people departed everyone to his house.
E repartiu a todo o povo, e a toda a multidão de Israel, desde os homens até ás mulheres, a cada um, um bolo de pão, e um bom pedaço de carne, e um frasco de vinho; então foi-se todo o povo, cada um para sua casa.
20 And then David returned to bless his household. Mikal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David. And she greeted him, and said, "How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the servants of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself."
E, voltando David para abençoar a sua casa, Michal, a filha de Saul, saiu a encontrar-se com David, e disse: Quão honrado foi o rei d'Israel, descobrindo-se hoje aos olhos das servas de seus servos, como sem pejo se descobre qualquer dos vadios.
21 And David said to Mikal, "I was dancing before the LORD. Blessed be the LORD, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over his people Israel; therefore I will celebrate before the LORD.
Disse porém David a Michal: Perante o Senhor, que me escolheu a mim antes do que a teu pae, e a toda a sua casa, mandando-me que fosse chefe sobre o povo do Senhor, sobre Israel: perante o Senhor tenho feito alegrias.
22 And I will be yet more vile than this, and will be lowly in your eyes. But of the servants of whom you have spoken, they shall honor me."
E ainda mais do que isto me envilecerei, e me humilharei aos meus olhos: e das servas, de quem fallaste, d'ellas serei honrado.
23 And Mikal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
E Michal, a filha de Saul, não teve filhos, até ao dia da sua morte.
