2 Samuel 6
1 Then David chose 30,000 Israeli men and gathered them together.
Natonto’ i Davide indraike ze hene jinoboñe amy Israele ao, telo ale.
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].
Niavotse amy zao t’i Davide rekets’ i maro ama’e boake Baale-Iehoday hañakatse i vatam-pañinan’ Añaharey boak’ ao, i fikanjiañe ty tahina’ Iehovà i Màroy, ie mimoneñe añatrefa’ o kerobeo.
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].
Aa le najoñe an-tsarete vao i vatan’ Añaharey naho nakare’ iereo añ’anjomba’ i Abinadabe e Gibà ao vaho nendese’ i Ozà naho i Akiò ana’ i Abinadabe i sarete vaoy.
4 Uzzah walked alongside the cart, and Ahio walked in front of it.
Toe nakare’ iereo añ’ anjomba’ i Abinadabe e Gibà ao i vatam-pañinan’ Añaharey vaho niaolo i vatam-pañinay t’i Akiò.
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.
Nitsinjake añatrefa’ Iehovà t’i Davide naho i anjomba’ Israele iabiy, am-pañarahañe ze karazan-draha titiheñe nanoeñe an-kazombatango, naho an-jejobory naho marovany naho fikorintsañe naho kantsàñe vaho fikoriñañe.
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]).
Ie nivotrak’ an-toem-pifofoha’ i Nakone eo, le nitakare’ i Ozà i vatam-pañinan’ Añaharey amy t’ie hinetseketse’ o katrakao.
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].
Aa le nisolebotse amy Ozà ty haviñera’ Iehovà, naho zinevon’ Añahare ty amy fandilara’ey, vaho nihomak’ añ’ ila’ i vatam-pañinan’ Añaharey eo.
8 David was angry because Yahweh had punished Uzzah. So ever since that time, that place has been called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
Nanahelo t’i Davide te finanto’ Iehovà t’i Ozà, aa le natao’e ty hoe Peretsozà ty añara’ i toetsey pake henaneo.
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]
Nirevendreveñe amy Iehovà t’i Davide henane zay le nanao ty hoe, Ami’ty akore ty hampombañe i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày mb’ amako mb’etoa?
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].
le tsy nendese’ i Davide mb’an-drova’ i Davide mb’eo ty vatam-pañina’ Iehovà fe navi’ i Davide mb’añ’anjomba’ i Ovededome, nte-Gate ao.
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.
Nitolom-pitobok’ añ’anjomba’ i Ovededome nte-Gate ao telo volañe i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày; le nitahie’ Iehovà t’i Ovededome naho o añ’anjomba’e iabio.
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.
Natalily amy Davide mpanjaka ty hoe, Toe nitahie’ Iehovà ty anjomba’ i Ovededome naho ze ama’e ty amy vatam-pañinan’ Añaharey. Aa le nimb’eo t’i Davide vaho nendese’e boak’ añ’anjomba’ i Ovededome ao pak’ an-drova’ i Davide an-kafaleañe i vatan’ Añaharey.
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.
Ie amy zao, naho fa nandeha enen-dika o ninday i vatam-pañina’ Iehovàio, le nisoroñe ty añombelahy naho ty bania vinondrake.
14 David was wearing [only] a linen cloth wrapped around his waist, and was dancing very energetically to honor Yahweh.
Nitsinjak’ añatrefa’ Iehovà an-kaozara’e iaby t’i Davide, ie nisikiñe kitambe leny t’i Davide.
15 David and the Israeli men took the sacred chest up [to Jerusalem], shouting [loudly] and blowing trumpets.
Aa le nendese’ i Davide naho ty anjomba’ Israele iaby am-pipazapazahañe naho fipopohañe o tsifan’ añondrio ty vatam-pañina’ Iehovà.
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.
Ie nimoak’ an-drova’ i Davide ao ty vatam-pañina’ Iehovà, le nitilihitse an-dalan-kede ty Mikale ana’ i Saole naho niisa’e t’i Davide mpanjaka nitribatribake naho nitsinjak’ añatrefa’ Iehovà le nitorifihe’e an-tro’e.
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.
Aa le nazili’ iereo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày vaho napo’e an-toe’e añivo’ i kivoho naore’ i Davide ho azey le nisoroña’ i Davide engan-koroañe naho engam-panintsiñañe añatrefa’ Iehovà.
18 When David had finished offering those sacrifices, he asked Yahweh, the Commander of the armies [of the angels], to bless the people.
Ie nihenefe’ i Davide ty fisoroñañe o enga oroañeo naho o engam-panintsiñañeo le nitatae’e ondatio ami’ty tahina’ Iehovà’ i Màroy.
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.
Le hene nanjotsoa’e boko-mofo naho fatets-ena naho garatom-balòboke ondatio, i valobohò’ Israeley, lahilahy naho rakemba; vaho nimpoly iaby ondatio, songa mb’añ’ anjomba’e añe.
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!”
Nimpoly ka t’i Davide hitata o añ’ anjomba’eo. Le niakatse nifanalaka amy Davide t’i Mikale anak’ ampela’ i Saole, nanao ty hoe: Akore ty enge’ i mpanjaka’ Israeley anindroany, ie nañafa-tsaroñe aolo’ maso’ o anak’ ampatam-pitoro’eo manahake ty fibongia’ o tsivokatse tsy aman-keñatseo!
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!
Le hoe t’i Davide amy Mikale, Toe tañatrefa’ Iehovà, ie nijoboñe ahy ambonen-drae’o naho ambone’ i anjomba’e iabiy vaho noriza’e ho mpifelek’ ondati’ Iehovào, hifehe Israele; Aa le hitsinjak’ añatrefa’ Iehovà iraho.
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!”
Toe mbe ho losorako i hatsivokarakoy naho hireke ampahaisahako, fe o mpitoroñ’ ampela nivolañe’oo, ie ro hiasy ahy.
23 [As a result, ] Saul’s daughter Michal never gave birth to any children.
Toly ndra tsy nanañ’ anake ampara’ ty androm-pivetraha’e t’i Mikale anak’ ampela’ i Saole.
