2 Samuel 6
1 Now David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
Endå eingong stemnde David saman alt det utvalde mannskapet i Israel: tretti tusund mann.
2 David arose and went with all his men who were with him from Baalah in Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of Yahweh of hosts, who sits enthroned over the cherubim.
Og David gav seg på veg, og drog ut med alt sitt folk frå Ba’ale-Juda, og førde derifrå Guds kista, som heiter etter Herren, allhers drott, han som tronar på kerubarne.
3 They set the ark of God on a new cart. They brought it out of Abinadab's house, which was on a hill. Uzzah and Ahio, his sons, were guiding the new cart.
Dei sette Guds kista på ei ny vogn og førde henne frå Abinadabs hus på haugen. Og Uzza og Ahjo Abinadabs-søner køyrde den nye vogni.
4 They brought the cart out of Abinadab's house on the hill with the ark of God on it. Ahio was walking in front of the ark.
Soleis førde dei Guds kista burt frå Abinadabs hus på haugen, med di dei fylgde henne, og Ahjo gjekk fyre kista.
5 Then David and all the house of Israel began to play before Yahweh, celebrating with wooden instruments, harps, lyres, tambourines, rattles, and cymbals.
David og heile Israels-ætti leika for Herren, til alle slag spel av cypresstre, til cithrar, harpor, trummor, bjøllor og cymblar.
6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out with his hand to grab the ark of God, and he took hold of it.
Då dei kom burtimot treskjestaden åt Nakon, tok Uzza tak med henderne i Guds kista og heldt fast i henne, av di uksarne snåva.
7 Then the anger of Yahweh burned against Uzzah. God attacked him there for his sin. Uzzah died there by the ark of God.
Då loga Herrens harm upp mot Uzza. Og Gud slo honom for det brotet skuld. Og han fekk sin bane der attmed Guds kista.
8 David was angry because Yahweh had attacked Uzzah, and he called the name of that place Perez Uzzah. That place is called Perez Uzza to this day.
David vart ille ved av di Herren øydelagde Uzza. Og den staden heite Peres-Uzza den dag i dag.
9 David was afraid of Yahweh that day. He said, “How can the ark of Yahweh come to me?”
Men David vart so rædd for Herren den dagen, at han sagde: «Kor kann eg våga føra Herrens kista upp til meg!»
10 So David was not willing to take the ark of Yahweh with him into the city of David. Instead, he put it aside in the house of Obed Edom the Gittite.
Difor vilde ikkje David flytja Herrens kista upp til Davidsbyen, men let deim setja henne inn i huset åt gatiten Obed-Edom.
11 The ark of Yahweh remained in the house of Obed Edom the Gittite for three months. So Yahweh blessed him and all his household.
So stod Herrens kista der i tri månader. Og Herren velsigna Obed-Edom og heile hans hus.
12 Now King David was told, “Yahweh has blessed Obed Edom's house and everything that belongs to him because of the ark of God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from Obed Edom's house to the city of David with joy.
Då kong David spurde at Herren velsigna huset åt Obed-Edom og all hans eigedom for Guds kista skuld, drog David av stad og flutta Guds kista derifrå og upp til Davidsbyen med stor fagnad.
13 When those who were carrying the ark of Yahweh had gone six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
Då dei som bar Herrens kista, hadde gjenge seks stig, ofra han ein ukse og ein gjødkalv.
14 David danced before Yahweh with all his might; he was wearing only a linen ephod.
David sjølv dansa av all magt framfor Herren i ein messehakel av lin.
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of Yahweh with shouting and the sound of trumpets.
Soleis henta David og heile Israels-ætti Herrens kista dit upp med fagnadrop og lurljod.
16 Now as the ark of Yahweh came into the city of David, Michal, daughter of Saul, looked out the window. She saw King David leaping and dancing before Yahweh. Then she despised him in her heart.
Då Herrens kista kom inn i Davidsbyen, stod Mikal Saulsdotter og såg ut igjenom vindauga. Då ho fekk sjå kong David sprang og dansa framfor Herren, då fekk ho vanvyrdnad for honom i sitt hjarta.
17 They brought in the ark of Yahweh and put it in its place, in the middle of the tent that David had set up for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before Yahweh.
Då dei hadde ført Herrens kista upp, sette dei henne på sin stad midt i det tjeldet som David hadde reist åt henne. David ofra brennoffer og takkoffer for Herren.
18 When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and the fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh of hosts.
Og då han var ferdig med desse ofringarne, velsigna han folket i namnet åt Herren, allhers drott.
19 Then he distributed among all the people, the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins. Then all the people left; each one returned to his own house.
Deretter skifte han ut åt heile folket, åt heile Israels-ålmugen, både åt kar og kvende, ei hellekaka, eit stykke kjøt og ei rosinkaka til manns. So gjekk heile folket heim kvar til seg.
20 Then David returned to bless his family. Michal, the daughter of Saul, came out to meet David and said, “How honored the king of Israel was today, who undressed himself today before the eyes of the slave girls among his servants, like one of the crude fellows who shamelessly undresses himself!”
Men då David kom heim og helsa husfolki sine, gjekk Mikal Saulsdotter til møtes med honom og sagde: «Kor måtte ikkje Israels konge kjenna seg høgvyrd i dag, med han i dag hev nækt seg framfor tenestgjentorne åt tenarane sine, soleis som skamlaust folk plar nækja seg.»
21 David responded to Michal, “I did that before Yahweh, who chose me above your father and above all his family, who appointed me leader over the people of Yahweh, over Israel. Before Yahweh I will be joyful!
David svara Mikal: «For Herrens åsyn hev eg dansa, han som valde meg ut framfor far din og framfor heile hans ætt, og sette meg til fyrste for Israel, Herrens folk. For Herrens åsyn var det eg dansa,
22 I will be even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you have spoken about, I will be honored.”
og småminka meg meir, og verta ring i mine augo. Men hjå dei tenestgjentorne du nemnde, hjå deim skal eg verta høgvyrd.»
23 So Michal, the daughter of Saul, had no children to the day of her death.
Mikal Saulsdotter vart verande barnlaus alt til sin døyande dag.
