< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 And David, once more, gathered together all the choice young men in Israel, thirty thousand.
David reuniu novamente todos os homens escolhidos de Israel, 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.
David levantou-se e foi com todas as pessoas que estavam com ele de Baal Judá, para trazer de lá a arca de Deus, que é chamada pelo Nome, até mesmo o nome de Yahweh dos exércitos que se senta acima dos querubins.
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.
Eles colocaram a arca de Deus em uma nova carroça, e a levaram para fora da casa de Abinadab, que estava na colina; e Uzzah e Ahio, os filhos de Abinadab, conduziram a nova carroça.
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.
Eles a levaram para fora da casa de Abinadab que estava na colina, com a arca de Deus; e Ahio foi antes 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.
David e toda a casa de Israel tocaram diante de Javé com todo tipo de instrumentos feitos de madeira de cipreste, com harpas, com instrumentos de cordas, com pandeiros, com castanholas, e com címbalos.
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.
Quando chegaram à eira de Nacon, Uzzah pegou a arca de Deus e se apoderou dela, pois o gado tropeçou.
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.
A raiva de Javé queimou contra Uzá, e Deus o golpeou lá por seu erro; e ele morreu lá pela 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.
David ficou descontente porque Yahweh havia fugido contra Uzá; e chamou aquele lugar de Perez Uzá até hoje.
9 And David was afraid of Yahweh, on that day, —and said, How can the ark of Yahweh come unto me?
David tinha medo de Iavé naquele dia; e disse: “Como poderia a arca de Iavé vir até mim?”.
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.
Então David não moveria a arca de Iavé para estar com ele na cidade de David; mas David a levou para dentro da casa de Obede-Edom, o Gittita.
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.
A arca de Javé permaneceu três meses na casa de Obede-Edom, o Gittita; e Javé abençoou Obede-Edom e 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.
Foi dito ao rei David: “Javé abençoou a casa de Obede-Edom, e tudo o que lhe pertence, por causa da arca de Deus”. Então David foi e trouxe a arca de Deus da casa de Obede-Edom para a 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.
Quando aqueles que levavam a arca de Javé tinham ido a seis passos, ele sacrificou um boi e um bezerro engordado.
14 And, David, was dancing with all boldness before Yahweh, —David, being girt with an ephod of linen.
David dançou diante de Javé com todas as suas forças; e David estava vestido com um éfode 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.
Então David e toda a casa de Israel levantaram a arca de Iavé com gritos e com o som da trombeta.
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.
Quando a arca de Javé entrou na cidade de Davi, Michal, filha de Saul, olhou pela janela e viu o rei Davi pulando e dançando diante de Javé; e ela o desprezou em 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.
Eles trouxeram a arca de Javé e a colocaram em seu lugar no meio da tenda que Davi havia armado para ela; e Davi ofereceu holocaustos e ofertas de paz diante de Javé.
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.
Quando David terminou de oferecer o holocausto e as ofertas de paz, ele abençoou o povo em nome de Iavé dos Exércitos.
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;
Ele deu a todo o povo, mesmo entre toda a multidão de Israel, tanto a homens como a mulheres, uma porção de pão, tâmaras e passas. Assim, todo o povo partiu, cada um para sua própria 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?
Então David retornou para abençoar sua casa. Michal, filha de Saul, saiu ao encontro de Davi e disse: “Quão glorioso foi hoje o rei de Israel, que hoje se descobriu aos olhos das criadas de seus servos, como um dos vaidosos se descobre sem vergonha”!
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;
David disse a Michal: “Foi antes de Yahweh, que me escolheu acima de seu pai, e acima de toda sua casa, para me nomear príncipe sobre o povo de Yahweh, sobre Israel. Portanto, vou comemorar antes de Iavé.
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.
Serei ainda mais indigno do que isto, e não terei mais valor à minha própria vista. Mas as criadas de quem vocês falaram me honrarão”.
23 Therefore, Michal Saul’s daughter, had no child, —unto the day of her death.
Michal, a filha de Saul, não teve filhos até o dia de sua morte.
