2 Samuel 6

1 And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

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

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.

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

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

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 with the ark; and Ahio was walking in front of the ark.

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

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.

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

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.

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

7 And the LORD became angry at Uzza; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died before God.

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

8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, 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 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,

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 was so, that, when those who bore the ark had gone six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.

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

14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and he was clothed in a linen ephod.

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

15 And David and all Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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."

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 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.

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 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."

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

23 And Mikal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.

٢٣ وَلَمْ تُنْجِبْ مِيكَالُ بِنْتُ شَاوُلَ وَلَداً إِلَى يَوْمِ مَوْتِهَا.
