2 Samuel 6
1 Then David chose 30,000 Israeli men and gathered them together.
E Davi voltou a juntar todos os escolhidos de Israel, trinta mil.
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].
E levantou-se Davi, e foi com todo o povo que tinha consigo, de Baal de Judá, para fazer passar dali a arca de Deus, sobre a qual era invocado o nome do SENHOR dos exércitos, que mora nela entre os querubins.
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].
E puseram a arca de Deus sobre um carro novo, e levaram-na da casa de Abinadabe, que estava em Gibeá: e Uzá e Aiô, filhos de Abinadabe, guiavam o carro novo.
4 Uzzah walked alongside the cart, and Ahio walked in front of it.
E quando o levavam da casa de Abinadabe que estava em Gibeá, com a arca de Deus, Aiô ia diante da arca.
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.
E Davi e toda a casa de Israel dançavam diante do SENHOR com toda sorte de instrumentos de madeira de faia; com harpas, saltérios, adufes, flautas e címbalos.
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]).
E quando chegaram à eira de Nacom, Uzá estendeu a mão à arca de Deus, e segurou-a; porque os bois a sacudiam.
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].
E o furor do SENHOR se acendeu contra Uzá, e feriu-o ali Deus por aquela imprudência, e caiu ali morto junto à arca de Deus.
8 David was angry because Yahweh had punished Uzzah. So ever since that time, that place has been called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
E entristeceu-se Davi por o SENHOR ter ferido a Uzá: e foi chamado aquele lugar Perez-Uzá, até hoje.
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]
E temendo Davi ao SENHOR aquele dia, disse: Como há de vir a mim a arca do SENHOR?
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].
Não quis, pois, Davi trazer a si a arca do SENHOR à cidade de Davi; mas levou-a Davi à casa de Obede-Edom geteu.
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.
E a arca do SENHOR esteve na casa de Obede-Edom geteu três meses: e abençoou o SENHOR a Obede-Edom e a toda sua casa.
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.
E foi dado aviso ao rei Davi, dizendo: o SENHOR abençoou a casa de Obede-Edom, e tudo o que tem, por causa da arca de Deus. Então Davi foi, e trouxe a arca de Deus de casa de Obede-Edom à cidade de Davi com alegria.
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.
E quando os que levavam a arca de Deus haviam andado seis desfiladeiros, sacrificavam um boi e um carneiro gordo.
14 David was wearing [only] a linen cloth wrapped around his waist, and was dancing very energetically to honor Yahweh.
E Davi saltava com toda sua força diante do SENHOR; e tinha vestido Davi um éfode de linho.
15 David and the Israeli men took the sacred chest up [to Jerusalem], shouting [loudly] and blowing trumpets.
Assim Davi e toda a casa de Israel levavam a arca do SENHOR com júbilo e som de trombeta.
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.
E quando a arca do SENHOR chegou à cidade de Davi, aconteceu que Mical filha de Saul olhou desde uma janela, e viu ao rei Davi que saltava com toda sua força diante do SENHOR: e menosprezou-lhe em seu coração.
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.
Meteram, pois, a arca do SENHOR, e puseram-na em seu lugar em meio de uma tenda que Davi lhe havia estendido: e sacrificou Davi holocaustos e pacíficos diante do SENHOR.
18 When David had finished offering those sacrifices, he asked Yahweh, the Commander of the armies [of the angels], to bless the people.
E quando Davi acabou de oferecer os holocaustos e pacíficos, abençoou ao povo no nome do SENHOR dos exércitos.
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.
E repartiu a todo aquele povo, e a toda a multidão de Israel, tanto a homens como a mulheres, a cada um uma torta de pão, e um pedaço de carne, e um frasco de vinho. E foi-se todo aquele povo, cada um à sua casa.
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!”
Voltou logo Davi para abençoar sua casa: e saindo Mical a receber a Davi, disse: Quão honrado foi hoje o rei de Israel, desnudando-se hoje diante das criadas de seus servos, como se desnudasse um vulgar!
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!
Então Davi respondeu a Mical: Diante do SENHOR, que me preferiu a teu pai e a toda sua casa, mandando-me que fosse príncipe sobre o povo do SENHOR, sobre Israel, dançarei diante do SENHOR.
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!”
E ainda me farei mais vil que esta vez, e serei baixo em meus próprios olhos; e diante das criadas que disseste, diante delas serei honrado.
23 [As a result, ] Saul’s daughter Michal never gave birth to any children.
E Mical filha de Saul nunca teve filhos até o dia de sua morte.
