< 2 Samuel 6 >
1 And David, once more, gathered together all the choice young men in Israel, thirty thousand.
E tornou David a ajuntar todos os escolhidos de Israel, em numero de trinta mil.
2 Then David, and all the people that were with him, arose and went beyond Baale Judah, —to bring up from thence, the ark of God, the name whereof is called by the name of Yahweh of hosts, who inhabiteth the cherubim thereupon.
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 So they carried the ark of God in a new waggon, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeah, —and, Uzza and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were driving the new waggon.
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 So they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in Gibeah, with the ark of God, —and, Ahio, was going before 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 all the house of Israel, were dancing for joy before Yahweh, with all boldness and with songs, —and with lyres, and with harps, and with timbrels, and with sistrums, 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 as far as the threshing-floor of Nachon, Uzzah thrust forth his hand unto the ark of God, and took hold of it, for the oxen were restive.
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 Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh, against Uzzah, and God smote him there, for the error, —so that he died there, by the ark of 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 it was a sadness unto David, for that Yahweh had broken in with a breach against Uzzah, —therefore called he that place, Perez-uzzah [as it is called] until 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 Yahweh, on that day, —and said, How can the ark of Yahweh come unto me?
E temeu David ao Senhor n'aquelle dia; e disse: Como virá a mim a arca do Senhor?
10 So David would not remove unto him the ark of Yahweh, unto the city of David, —but David took it aside 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 Yahweh abode in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite, three months, —and Yahweh blessed Obed -edom, and all his household.
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, Yahweh hath blessed the household of Obed-edom, and all that he hath, because of the ark of God. David therefore went and brought up the ark of God, out of the house of Obed-edom, unto the city of David, with rejoicing.
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 so it was that, when they who bare the ark of Yahweh had stepped forward six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a heifer.
E succedeu que, quando os que levavam a arca do Senhor tinham dado seis passos, sacrificava bois e carneiros cevados.
14 And, David, was dancing with all boldness before Yahweh, —David, being girt with an ephod of linen.
E David saltava com todas as suas forças diante do Senhor: e estava David cingido d'um ephod de linho.
15 So, David and all the house of Israel, were bringing up the ark of Yahweh, —with triumphant shoutings, and with the sound of a horn.
Assim subindo, levavam David e todo o Israel a arca do Senhor, com jubilo, e ao som das trombetas.
16 Now it so came about that, when the ark of Yahweh entered the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter, looked out through the window, and saw King David, leaping and dancing before Yahweh, 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 So they brought in the ark of Yahweh, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent which David had stretched out for it, —and David caused to go up ascending-sacrifices before Yahweh, and peace-offerings.
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 finished offering up the ascending-sacrifice and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh of hosts.
E acabando David de offerecer os holocaustos e offertas pacificas, abençoou o povo em nome do Senhor dos exercitos.
19 And he apportioned to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, both to men and to women—to every one, a loaf of bread, and a sweet drink, and a raisin-cake, —and all the people went their way, every one unto his own 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 David returned, to bless his household. Then came forth Michal Saul’s daughter to meet David, and said—How honoured, to-day, was the king of Israel in disrobing himself to-day, in the sight of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the low people, might disrobe 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 unto Michal, Before Yahweh, I will dance, —blessed, be Yahweh, who made choice of me above thy father, and above all his house, putting me in charge as leader over the people of Yahweh, over Israel, —therefore will I dance before Yahweh;
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 will make myself, yet more, lightly esteemed that this, and become lowly in mine own eyes, —nevertheless, with the handmaids of whom thou hast spoken, with them, shall I be honoured.
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 Therefore, Michal Saul’s daughter, had no child, —unto the day of her death.
E Michal, a filha de Saul, não teve filhos, até ao dia da sua morte.
