2 Samuel 6
1 Then David chose 30,000 Israeli men and gathered them together.
| داوود بار دیگر تمام سربازان ماهر خود را که سی هزار بودند، جمع کرد |
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].
| و به قریهٔ یعاریم رفت تا صندوق عهد خدا را از آنجا بیاورد. (این صندوق به نام خداوند لشکرهای آسمان نامیده می‌شد. روی صندوق دو کروبی قرار داشت و حضور خداوند بر آنها بود.) |
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].
| صندوق عهد را از خانهٔ ابیناداب که در کوهستان بود برداشته، بر ارابه‌ای نو گذاشتند. عُزه و اخیو (پسران ابیناداب)، گاوهای ارابه را می‌راندند. |
4 Uzzah walked alongside the cart, and Ahio walked in front of it.
| اخیو، پیشاپیش صندوق عهد می‌رفت، |
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.
| و داوود با رهبران قوم اسرائیل که از پشت سر او در حرکت بودند با صدای تار و چنگ و دایره زنگی و دهل و سنج، با تمام قدرت در حضور خداوند آواز می‌خواندند و پایکوبی می‌کردند. |
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]).
| اما وقتی به خرمنگاه ناکن رسیدند، گاوها لغزیدند و عزه دست خود را دراز کرد و صندوق عهد را گرفت که نیفتد. |
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].
| آنگاه خشم خداوند بر عزه شعله‌ور شد و برای این بی‌احترامی او را در همان جا کنار صندوق عهد، کشت. |
8 David was angry because Yahweh had punished Uzzah. So ever since that time, that place has been called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
| داوود از این عمل خداوند غمگین شد و آن مکان را «مجازات عزه» نامید که تا به امروز نیز به این نام معروف است. |
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]
| آن روز داوود از خداوند ترسید و گفت: «چطور می‌توانم صندوق عهد را به خانه ببرم؟» |
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].
| پس تصمیم گرفت به جای شهر داوود، آن را به خانهٔ عوبید ادوم که از جت آمده بود، ببرد. |
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.
| صندوق عهد، سه ماه در خانهٔ عوبید ماند و خداوند، عوبید و تمام اهل خانهٔ او را برکت داد. |
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.
| داوود وقتی شنید خداوند عوبید را به دلیل وجود صندوق عهد در خانه‌اش برکت داده است، نزد او رفت و صندوق عهد را گرفت و با جشن و سرور به سوی اورشلیم رهسپار شد. |
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.
| مردانی که آن را حمل می‌کردند بیشتر از شش قدم نرفته بودند که داوود آنها را متوقف کرد تا یک گاو و یک گوسالهٔ فربه قربانی کند. |
14 David was wearing [only] a linen cloth wrapped around his waist, and was dancing very energetically to honor Yahweh.
| داوود لباس کاهنان را پوشیده بود و با تمام قدرت در حضور خداوند می‌رقصید. |
15 David and the Israeli men took the sacred chest up [to Jerusalem], shouting [loudly] and blowing trumpets.
| به این ترتیب قوم اسرائیل با صدای شیپورها، شادی‌کنان صندوق عهد را به اورشلیم آوردند. |
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.
| وقتی جمعیت همراه صندوق عهد وارد شهر شدند، میکال دختر شائول از پنجره نگاه کرد و داوود را دید که در حضور خداوند می‌رقصد و پایکوبی می‌کند، پس در دل خود او را تحقیر کرد. |
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.
| صندوق عهد را در خیمه‌ای که داوود برای آن تدارک دیده بود، گذاشتند و داوود قربانیهای سوختنی و قربانیهای سلامتی به خداوند تقدیم نمود. |
18 When David had finished offering those sacrifices, he asked Yahweh, the Commander of the armies [of the angels], to bless the people.
| در پایان مراسم قربانی، داوود بنی‌اسرائیل را به نام خداوند لشکرهای آسمان برکت داد |
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.
| و به هر یک از زنان و مردان یک قرص نان معمولی، یک نان خرما و یک نان کشمشی داد. وقتی جشن تمام شد و مردم به خانه‌های خود رفتند، |
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!”
| داوود برگشت تا خانوادهٔ خود را برکت دهد. اما میکال به استقبال او آمده، با لحنی تحقیرآمیز به او گفت: «پادشاه اسرائیل امروز چقدر باوقار و سنگین بود! خوب خودش را مثل یک آدم ابله جلوی کنیزان رسوا کرد!» |
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!
| داوود به میکال گفت: «من امروز در حضور خداوندی می‌رقصیدم که مرا انتخاب فرمود تا بر پدرت و خانوادهٔ او برتر باشم و قوم خداوند، اسرائیل را رهبری کنم. |
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!”
| بله، اگر لازم باشد از این هم کوچکتر و نادانتر می‌شوم. ولی مطمئن باش که احترام من پیش کنیزان از بین نرفته است.» |
23 [As a result, ] Saul’s daughter Michal never gave birth to any children.
| پس میکال، دختر شائول، تا آخر عمر بی‌فرزند ماند. |
