2 Samuel 6

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

Daud mengumpulkan pula semua orang pilihan di antara orang Israel, tiga puluh ribu orang banyaknya.

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.

Kemudian bersiaplah Daud, lalu berjalan dari Baale-Yehuda dengan seluruh rakyat yang menyertainya, untuk mengangkut dari sana tabut Allah, yang disebut dengan nama TUHAN semesta alam yang bertakhta di atas kerubim.

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

Mereka menaikkan tabut Allah itu ke dalam kereta yang baru setelah mengangkatnya dari rumah Abinadab yang di atas bukit. Lalu Uza dan Ahyo, anak-anak Abinadab, mengantarkan kereta itu.

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

Uza berjalan di samping tabut Allah itu, sedang Ahyo berjalan di depan tabut itu.

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.

Daud dan seluruh kaum Israel menari-nari di hadapan TUHAN dengan sekuat tenaga, diiringi nyanyian, kecapi, gambus, rebana, kelentung dan ceracap.

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.

Ketika mereka sampai ke tempat pengirikan Nakhon, maka Uza mengulurkan tangannya kepada tabut Allah itu, lalu memegangnya, karena lembu-lembu itu tergelincir.

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

Maka bangkitlah murka TUHAN terhadap Uza, lalu Allah membunuh dia di sana karena keteledorannya itu; ia mati di sana dekat tabut Allah itu.

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

Daud menjadi marah, karena TUHAN telah menyambar Uza demikian hebatnya; maka tempat itu disebut orang Peres-Uza sampai sekarang.

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,

Pada waktu itu Daud menjadi takut kepada TUHAN, lalu katanya: "Bagaimana tabut TUHAN itu dapat sampai kepadaku?"

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.

Sebab itu Daud tidak mau memindahkan tabut TUHAN itu ke tempatnya, ke kota Daud, tetapi Daud menyimpang dan membawanya ke rumah Obed-Edom, orang Gat itu.

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.

Tiga bulan lamanya tabut Tuhan itu tinggal di rumah Obed-Edom, orang Gat itu, dan TUHAN memberkati Obed-Edom dan seisi rumahnya.

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.

Diberitahukanlah kepada raja Daud, demikian: "TUHAN memberkati seisi rumah Obed-Edom dan segala yang ada padanya oleh karena tabut Allah itu." Lalu Daud pergi mengangkut tabut Allah itu dari rumah Obed-Edom ke kota Daud dengan sukacita.

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

Apabila pengangkat-pengangkat tabut TUHAN itu melangkah maju enam langkah, maka ia mengorbankan seekor lembu dan seekor anak lembu gemukan.

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

Dan Daud menari-nari di hadapan TUHAN dengan sekuat tenaga; ia berbaju efod dari kain lenan.

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

Daud dan seluruh orang Israel mengangkut tabut TUHAN itu dengan diiringi sorak dan bunyi sangkakala.

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.

Ketika tabut TUHAN itu masuk ke kota Daud, maka Mikhal, anak perempuan Saul, menjenguk dari jendela, lalu melihat raja Daud meloncat-loncat serta menari-nari di hadapan TUHAN. Sebab itu ia memandang rendah Daud dalam hatinya.

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.

Tabut TUHAN itu dibawa masuk, lalu diletakkan di tempatnya, di dalam kemah yang dibentangkan Daud untuk itu, kemudian Daud mempersembahkan korban bakaran dan korban keselamatan di hadapan TUHAN.

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.

Setelah Daud selesai mempersembahkan korban bakaran dan korban keselamatan, diberkatinyalah bangsa itu demi nama TUHAN semesta alam.

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.

Lalu dibagikannya kepada seluruh bangsa itu, kepada seluruh khalayak ramai Israel, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan, kepada masing-masing seketul roti bundar, sekerat daging, dan sepotong kue kismis. Sesudah itu pergilah seluruh bangsa itu, masing-masing ke rumahnya.

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."

Ketika Daud pulang untuk memberi salam kepada seisi rumahnya, maka keluarlah Mikhal binti Saul mendapatkan Daud, katanya: "Betapa raja orang Israel, yang menelanjangi dirinya pada hari ini di depan mata budak-budak perempuan para hambanya, merasa dirinya terhormat pada hari ini, seperti orang hina dengan tidak malu-malu menelanjangi dirinya!"

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.

Tetapi berkatalah Daud kepada Mikhal: "Di hadapan TUHAN, yang telah memilih aku dengan menyisihkan ayahmu dan segenap keluarganya untuk menunjuk aku menjadi raja atas umat TUHAN, yakni atas Israel, --di hadapan TUHAN aku menari-nari,

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."

bahkan aku akan menghinakan diriku lebih dari pada itu; engkau akan memandang aku rendah, tetapi bersama-sama budak-budak perempuan yang kaukatakan itu, bersama-sama merekalah aku mau dihormati."

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

Mikhal binti Saul tidak mendapat anak sampai hari matinya.
