2 Samuel 6
1 Then David chose 30,000 Israeli men and gathered them together.
David congregó de nuevo a todos los escogidos de Israel: treinta mil hombres.
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].
Y levantándose David, con todo el pueblo que lo acompañaba, se puso en marcha desde Baalé-Judá, para traerse de allí el Arca de Dios, sobre la cual es invocado el Nombre de Yahvé de los Ejércitos, sentado sobre los querubines.
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].
CoIocaron el Arca de Dios sobre un carro nuevo, y la llevaron de la casa de Abinadab, situada en el collado; Ozá y Ahío, hijos de Abinadab, conducían el carro nuevo.
4 Uzzah walked alongside the cart, and Ahio walked in front of it.
Lo sacaron de la casa de Abinadab, que está en el collado, junto con el Arca de Dios; y Ahío iba delante del 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.
David y toda la casa de Israel hacían danzas delante de Yahvé, con toda suerte de instrumentos de madera de ciprés; con cítaras, salterios, tamboriles, sistros y 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]).
Cuando llegaron a la era de Nacón, extendió Ozá la mano hacia el Arca de Dios y la agarró, porque los bueyes resbalaban.
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].
Entonces se encendió la ira de Yahvé contra Ozá, y le hirió allí Dios por su temeridad, y murió en ese mismo lugar, junto al Arca de Dios.
8 David was angry because Yahweh had punished Uzzah. So ever since that time, that place has been called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
David se consternó por cuanto había estallado la ira de Yahvé contra Ozá, y se llamó aquel sito Pérez- Ozá hasta el día de hoy.
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]
Y David tuvo temor de Yahvé en aquel día, y dijo: “¿Cómo he de traer a mí el Arca de Dios?”
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].
Y no quiso David que se llevase el Arca de Yahvé hacia él, a la ciudad de David, por lo cual la trasladó a la casa de Obededom geteo.
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.
Permaneció, pues, el Arca de Yahvé tres meses en la casa de Obededom geteo, y Yahvé bendijo a Obededom y a toda su 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.
Dijeron al rey David: “Ha bendecido Yahvé a la casa de Obededom y a todo cuanto tiene, por causa del Arca de Dios.” Entonces fue David, y con gran júbilo trasladó el Arca de Dios desde la casa de Obededom a la ciudad de David.
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.
Apenas los portadores del Arca de Yahvé habían andado seis pasos, fue inmolado un toro y un novillo cebado.
14 David was wearing [only] a linen cloth wrapped around his waist, and was dancing very energetically to honor Yahweh.
David danzaba con toda su fuerza delante de Yahvé e iba ceñido de un efod de lino fino.
15 David and the Israeli men took the sacred chest up [to Jerusalem], shouting [loudly] and blowing trumpets.
Así David y toda la casa de Israel subieron el Arca de Yahvé con gran júbilo y al son de trompetas.
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.
Al entrar el Arca de Dios en la ciudad de David, Micol, hija de Saúl, miró por la ventana, y viendo al rey David cómo saltaba y danzaba delante de Yahvé, le despreció en su corazón.
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.
Introdujeron, pues, el Arca de Yahvé y la colocaron en su lugar, en medio del Tabernáculo que David había levantado para ella. Luego ofreció David ante Yahvé holocaustos y sacrificios pacíficos.
18 When David had finished offering those sacrifices, he asked Yahweh, the Commander of the armies [of the angels], to bless the people.
Habiendo terminado de ofrecer los holocaustos y los sacrificios pacíficos David bendijo al pueblo en nombre de Yahvé de los Ejércitos.
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.
Después repartió a todo el pueblo, a toda la muchedumbre de Israel, hombres y mujeres, a cada cual una torta de pan, una porción de carne y un pastel de pasas. Con esto se retiró todo el pueblo, cada cual a su 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!”
Cuando David se retiró para bendecir a su casa, le salió al encuentro Micol, hija de Saúl, y le dijo: “¡Qué bella figura ha hecho hoy el rey de Israel, descubriéndose a la vista de las siervas de sus servidores, al modo que se desnuda un bufón!”
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!
Pero David respondió a Micol: “Delante de Yahvé, que con preferencia a tu padre y a toda su casa me eligió para constituirme príncipe del pueblo de Yahvé, de Israel, delante de Yahvé he danzado.
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!”
Y me humillaré todavía más y me haré despreciable a mis propios ojos, y seré tenido en honor por las siervas de que has hablado.”
23 [As a result, ] Saul’s daughter Michal never gave birth to any children.
Y Micol, hija de Saúl, no tuvo hijo hasta el día de su muerte.
