< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
Na Dawid boaboaa akodɔm sononko ɔpeduasa ano.
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.
Ɔdii wɔn anim firi Baala a ɛwɔ Yuda, sɛ wɔrekɔfa Onyankopɔn Adaka a ɛkura Awurade Otumfoɔ no a wɔde no asi Kerubim ntam no din.
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
Wɔde Onyankopɔn Adaka no sii teaseɛnam foforɔ so, de firii Abinadab fie a na ɛwɔ bepɔ so no baeɛ. Usa ne Ahio a na wɔyɛ Abinadab mmammarima no na na wɔkyerɛ teaseɛnam foforɔ no
4 with the ark; and Ahio was walking in front of the ark.
a na Onyankopɔn Adaka no si mu no kwan. Na Ahio na ɔdi animu.
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.
Dawid ne Israel manfoɔ gyee wɔn ani wɔ Awurade anim wɔ ahoɔden so a wɔreto nnwom, na wɔde nsankuo, bɛnta, akasaeɛ, mfirikyiwa ne kyankyan nenam mu.
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.
Na wɔduruu Nakon ayuporobea no, nantwie no nan totoeɛ, maa Usa tenee ne nsa sɔɔ Onyankopɔn Adaka no mu sɛ ɔretene no.
7 And the LORD became angry at Uzza; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died before God.
Na Awurade bo fuu Usa sɛ ɔyɛɛ saa, na Onyankopɔn bɔɔ no, maa ɔwu daa adaka no ho.
8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.
Dawid nso bo fuiɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade abufuo atia Usa. Ɔtoo saa beaeɛ hɔ edin Peres-Usa a aseɛ ne abufuhyeɛ a ɛtia Usa. Wɔfrɛ hɔ saa ara de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
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,
Afei, na Dawid suro Awurade enti ɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na mɛtumi de Awurade adaka no aba me nkyɛn, na mahwɛ so?”
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.
Na Dawid yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ, ɔremma Awurade Adaka no so nkɔ Dawid Kuropɔn no mu. Na mmom, ɔmaa so de kɔɔ Obed-Edom a ɔyɛ Gatni fie.
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.
Na Awurade adaka no sii Gatni Obed-Edom fiefoɔ nkyɛn abosome mmiɛnsa, na Awurade hyiraa no ne ne fidua mu nnipa nyinaa.
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.
Afei, wɔka kyerɛɛ ɔhene Dawid sɛ, “Esiane Awurade Adaka no enti, Awurade ahyira Obed-Edom fie ne biribiara a ɔwɔ so.” Enti, Dawid kɔɔ hɔ kɔfaa Adaka no, de osebɔ kɛseɛ baa Dawid Kuropɔn no mu.
13 And it was so, that, when those who bore the ark had gone six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
Nnipa a Awurade Adaka no so wɔn no tuu anammɔn nsia pɛ, wɔgyinaa hɔ twɛneeɛ, sɛdeɛ Dawid bɛtumi de nantwie ne nantwie ba a wadɔre sradeɛ abɔ afɔdeɛ.
14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and he was clothed in a linen ephod.
Na Dawid firii nʼahoɔden nyinaa mu saa wɔ Awurade anim a na ɔhyɛ asɔfotadeɛ yuu.
15 And David and all Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
Enti, Dawid ne Israel nyinaa de nteateam ne ntotorobɛntohyɛn maa Awurade Adaka no so kɔɔeɛ.
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.
Ɛberɛ a wɔde Awurade Adaka no rewura Dawid Kuropɔn no mu no, Saulo babaa a ne din de Mikal no kɔtɛɛ mpomma mu hwɛeɛ. Ɔhunuu sɛ ɔhene Dawid rehurihuri, resa anigyeɛ so wɔ Awurade anim no, nʼani annye.
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.
Wɔde Awurade Adaka no kɔsii nʼafa wɔ ntomadan a ɛno enti, Dawid asi no mu, na Dawid bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ Awurade anim.
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.
Ɔwieeɛ no, ɔhyiraa nnipa no wɔ Awurade Otumfoɔ din mu.
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.
Afei, ɔmaa Israel dɔm no mu nnipa biara burodo mua, nankum ne bobe aba ɔfam. Na wɔn mu biara kɔɔ ne fie.
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."
Ɛberɛ a Dawid sane kɔɔ ne fie sɛ ɔrekɔhyira ne fiefoɔ no, Mikal firii adi ba bɛhyiaa no ka kyerɛɛ no abufuo so sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ deɛ, na Israelhene nsɛ ha! Ɔpaa ne ho kyerɛɛ ne mfenaa te sɛ deɛ obiara a ɔmmu ne ho bɛyɛ no ara pɛ.”
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.
Dawid buaa Mikal sɛ, “Na meresa wɔ Awurade a ɔyii me, na ɔtwaa wʼagya ne nʼabusuafoɔ gyaeɛ no anim. Ɔyii me sɛ menyɛ Israel a wɔyɛ Awurade nkurɔfoɔ ɔkannifoɔ. Ɛno enti, ɛyɛ me pɛ sɛ meyɛ me ho sɛ ɔkwasea, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma makyerɛ mʼahokeka a mewɔ wɔ Awurade mu.
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."
Aane, na mepɛ sɛ meyɛ ɔkwasea koraa sene yei, na mmaayewa korɔ yi ara a woreka wɔn ho asɛm yi bɛhyɛ me animuonyam.”
23 And Mikal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
Na Saulo babaa Mikal anwo ba da wɔ ne nkwa nna nyinaa.
