2 Samuel 6
1 Then David chose 30,000 Israeli men and gathered them together.
Beberapa tahun kemudian, Daud memutuskan untuk memindahkan peti perjanjian TUHAN dari kota Kiryat Yearim ke Yerusalem. Dia ingin supaya pusat penyembahan kepada TUHAN Panglima Semesta— Allah yang bertakhta di atas kedua bentuk malaikat penjaga di penutup peti itu— menetap di Kota Daud. Untuk acara tersebut Daud mengumpulkan 30.000 tentara terpilih dari seluruh pasukan Israel, dan pergi bersama mereka ke Kiryat Yearim untuk memindahkan peti perjanjian.
2 He led them to the place in Judah [formerly] called Baalah, [now called Kiriath-Jearim]. They went in order to bring from there [to Jerusalem] the sacred chest, which had the name of Yahweh, the leader of the armies of [the angels in] heaven, written on it, and which had the [statues of the] winged creatures on top of it. Between those statues was where Yahweh spoke messages about ruling his people [MTY].
3 The sacred chest was in the house of Abinadab, on top of a hill. They went there, and they put the chest on a new cart. Uzzah and Ahio, the two sons of Abinadab, were guiding [the oxen that were pulling the cart].
Mereka menaikkan peti perjanjian itu ke atas sebuah gerobak baru dan membawanya dari rumah Abinadab, yang ada di atas bukit. Uza dan Ahio, keduanya anak Abinadab, mengarahkan gerobak itu, yang ditarik oleh dua sapi. Ahio berjalan di depan peti perjanjian.
4 Uzzah walked alongside the cart, and Ahio walked in front of it.
5 David and all the Israeli men were celebrating in God’s presence, singing with all their strength and [playing] lyres and harps, and beating tambourines, and clashing castanets and cymbals.
Daud dan seluruh umat Israel bersukacita di hadapan TUHAN dengan menari-nari, bernyanyi penuh semangat, dan memainkan kecapi, gambus, rebana, simbal, serta alat musik lainnya yang dimainkan dengan cara dipukul.
6 But when they came to the place where Nacon threshed grain, the oxen stumbled. So Uzzah put his hand on the sacred chest to (steady it/prevent it from falling [off the cart]).
Saat mereka tiba di tempat pengirikan milik Nakon, salah satu sapi yang menarik gerobak itu tersandung dan hampir membuat peti perjanjian TUHAN terjatuh, sehingga Uza mengulurkan tangan memegang peti itu.
7 Yahweh immediately became very angry with Uzzah, and he killed him right there alongside the sacred chest, because he had touched the chest, [and Yahweh had commanded that only the descendants of Levi who help the priests should touch the sacred chest].
Karena kesalahan Uza, TUHAN sangat marah kepadanya dan langsung membunuh dia di tempat itu juga. Uza meninggal di sisi peti perjanjian TUHAN.
8 David was angry because Yahweh had punished Uzzah. So ever since that time, that place has been called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
Daud pun marah karena TUHAN memurkai Uza. Lalu Daud menamai tempat itu Perez Uza. Demikianlah nama tempat itu sampai waktu kitab ini ditulis.
9 David was [also] afraid of [what else] Yahweh [would do to punish them], so he said, “(How can I take the sacred chest with me [to Jerusalem]?/I am afraid to take the sacred chest with me [to Jerusalem].)” [RHQ]
Daud menjadi takut kepada TUHAN pada hari itu dan berkata, “Sangat berbahaya kalau peti TUHAN dipindahkan ke kotaku.”
10 So he did not want to take the sacred chest to Jerusalem. Instead, they took it to another place; they took it to the house of Obed-Edom, from Gath [city].
Kejadian itu membuat Daud tidak mau lagi memindahkan peti perjanjian TUHAN ke Kota Daud. Jadi dia meninggalkan peti itu di rumah Obed Edom, yang berasal dari kota Gat.
11 They left the sacred chest in the house of Obed-Edom for three months, and [during that time] Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom and his family.
Peti perjanjian TUHAN berada di rumah Obed Edom selama tiga bulan, dan TUHAN memberkati Obed Edom serta seluruh keluarganya.
12 Later, people told David, “Yahweh has blessed Obed-Edom and his family because [he is taking care] of the sacred chest!” When David heard that, he [and some other men] went to Obed-Edom’s house, and very joyfully brought the sacred chest from there to Jerusalem.
Lalu diberitahukanlah kepada Daud, “TUHAN sudah memberkati keluarga Obed Edom dan segala miliknya karena peti perjanjian TUHAN.” Oleh sebab itu Daud membuat acara yang lebih besar dan lebih meriah lagi untuk memindahkan peti itu dari rumah Obed Edom ke Kota Daud.
13 [This time, descendants of Levi] were carrying the sacred chest, but when they had walked only six steps, they stopped, and there David killed a bull and a fat calf, and offered them to Yahweh for a sacrifice.
Sesuai tata acara yang Daud tentukan, sesudah orang-orang dari suku Lewi mengangkat peti itu dan berjalan enam langkah, mereka berhenti untuk menunggu, sementara seekor sapi jantan dan anak sapi yang gemuk dipersembahkan kepada TUHAN.
14 David was wearing [only] a linen cloth wrapped around his waist, and was dancing very energetically to honor Yahweh.
Hari itu, selama proses pemindahan berjalan, Daud— yang mengenakan baju seragam imam yang terbuat dari kain linen dan efod— menari dengan sepenuh hati di hadapan TUHAN.
15 David and the Israeli men took the sacred chest up [to Jerusalem], shouting [loudly] and blowing trumpets.
Demikianlah Daud dan seluruh umat Israel berhasil memindahkan peti perjanjian TUHAN ke Yerusalem dengan sorak-sorai dan bunyi terompet.
16 While they were carrying the sacred chest into the city, [David’s wife] Michal, who was Saul’s daughter, looked out the window [of her house]. She saw King David leaping and dancing to honor Yahweh. So she was disgusted with him.
Pada waktu peti perjanjian TUHAN masuk ke Kota Daud, Mikal, istri Daud, yang adalah anak perempuan Saul, melihat keluar jendela. Ketika melihat Raja Daud melompat dan menari di hadapan TUHAN, dia menganggap Daud hina.
17 They brought the sacred chest into the tent that David had erected for it. Then David gave to Yahweh offerings to be completely burned [on an altar], and other offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
Para pengusung dari suku Lewi menaruh peti perjanjian TUHAN ke dalam kemah yang sudah didirikan Daud untuk peti itu. Lalu, sesuai ketentuan Daud, para imam mempersembahkan bagi TUHAN beberapa kurban yang dibakar habis dan kurban tanda damai.
18 When David had finished offering those sacrifices, he asked Yahweh, the Commander of the armies [of the angels], to bless the people.
Sesudah acara persembahan itu selesai, Daud berdoa kepada TUHAN Panglima Semesta agar memberkati seluruh umat yang hadir.
19 He also distributed food to all the people. To each Israeli man and woman he gave a loaf of bread, some meat, and a raisin cake. Then all the people returned to their homes.
Daud juga sudah mengatur supaya semua orang Israel yang hadir mendapat hadiah makanan. Jadi, setiap laki-laki maupun perempuan diberinya roti, kue kurma, dan kue kismis. Kemudian seluruh rakyat pulang ke rumah mereka masing-masing.
20 When David went home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family, his wife Michal came out to meet him. She said to him, “Maybe you, the king of Israel, [think that you] [IRO] were honoring yourself today, but really, you acted like a fool, uncovering yourself while the female servants of your officials were watching!”
Sewaktu Daud kembali untuk memberi salam kepada keluarganya, Mikal keluar menemui dia dan berkata, “Begitukah kelakuan raja orang Israel?! Sangat memalukan, seorang raja menari dengan memakai baju linen tanpa jubah di depan mata para budak perempuan dan pegawai-pegawainya, seperti orang bodoh yang tidak tahu malu!”
21 David replied to Michal, “[I was doing that] to honor Yahweh, who chose me instead of your father and other members of his family, to be the king of the Israeli people, the people who belong to Yahweh. And I will [continue to] dance to honor Yahweh!
Jawab Daud kepada Mikal, “Aku menari di hadapan TUHAN, yang sudah memilihku sebagai pemimpin atas umat-Nya untuk menggantikan ayahmu dan anggota keluarganya yang lain. Aku akan tetap menari untuk berterima kasih kepada-Nya!
22 [Even though you think that what I did] was disgraceful, I will continue to do it even more. You may despise me [because of what I did], but the women whom you were talking about will honor me!”
Bahkan, untuk TUHAN aku rela merendahkan diriku lebih lagi. Di matamu aku tampak memalukan, tetapi para budak perempuan yang kamu sebutkan tadi, mereka malah akan memandangku terhormat.”
23 [As a result, ] Saul’s daughter Michal never gave birth to any children.
Mikal, anak perempuan Saul itu, tidak punya anak sampai akhir hidupnya.
