< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
David reuniu novamente todos os homens escolhidos de Israel, trinta mil.
2 And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubim.
David levantou-se e foi com todas as pessoas que estavam com ele de Baal Judá, para trazer de lá a arca de Deus, que é chamada pelo Nome, até mesmo o nome de Yahweh dos exércitos que se senta acima dos querubins.
3 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
Eles colocaram a arca de Deus em uma nova carroça, e a levaram para fora da casa de Abinadab, que estava na colina; e Uzzah e Ahio, os filhos de Abinadab, conduziram a nova carroça.
4 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
Eles a levaram para fora da casa de Abinadab que estava na colina, com a arca de Deus; e Ahio foi antes da arca.
5 And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.
David e toda a casa de Israel tocaram diante de Javé com todo tipo de instrumentos feitos de madeira de cipreste, com harpas, com instrumentos de cordas, com pandeiros, com castanholas, e com címbalos.
6 And when they came to Nachon’s threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.
Quando chegaram à eira de Nacon, Uzzah pegou a arca de Deus e se apoderou dela, pois o gado tropeçou.
7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
A raiva de Javé queimou contra Uzá, e Deus o golpeou lá por seu erro; e ele morreu lá pela arca de Deus.
8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth in anger against Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.
David ficou descontente porque Yahweh havia fugido contra Uzá; e chamou aquele lugar de Perez Uzá até hoje.
9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?
David tinha medo de Iavé naquele dia; e disse: “Como poderia a arca de Iavé vir até mim?”.
10 So David would not remove the ark of the LORD to him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.
Então David não moveria a arca de Iavé para estar com ele na cidade de David; mas David a levou para dentro da casa de Obede-Edom, o Gittita.
11 And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.
A arca de Javé permaneceu três meses na casa de Obede-Edom, o Gittita; e Javé abençoou Obede-Edom e toda a sua casa.
12 And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth to him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.
Foi dito ao rei David: “Javé abençoou a casa de Obede-Edom, e tudo o que lhe pertence, por causa da arca de Deus”. Então David foi e trouxe a arca de Deus da casa de Obede-Edom para a cidade de David com alegria.
13 And it was so, that when they that bore the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
Quando aqueles que levavam a arca de Javé tinham ido a seis passos, ele sacrificou um boi e um bezerro engordado.
14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
David dançou diante de Javé com todas as suas forças; e David estava vestido com um éfode de linho.
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
Então David e toda a casa de Israel levantaram a arca de Iavé com gritos e com o som da trombeta.
16 And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
Quando a arca de Javé entrou na cidade de Davi, Michal, filha de Saul, olhou pela janela e viu o rei Davi pulando e dançando diante de Javé; e ela o desprezou em seu coração.
17 And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in its place, inside the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
Eles trouxeram a arca de Javé e a colocaram em seu lugar no meio da tenda que Davi havia armado para ela; e Davi ofereceu holocaustos e ofertas de paz diante de Javé.
18 And as soon as David had finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.
Quando David terminou de oferecer o holocausto e as ofertas de paz, ele abençoou o povo em nome de Iavé dos Exércitos.
19 And he distributed among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.
Ele deu a todo o povo, mesmo entre toda a multidão de Israel, tanto a homens como a mulheres, uma porção de pão, tâmaras e passas. Assim, todo o povo partiu, cada um para sua própria casa.
20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the foolish fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!
Então David retornou para abençoar sua casa. Michal, filha de Saul, saiu ao encontro de Davi e disse: “Quão glorioso foi hoje o rei de Israel, que hoje se descobriu aos olhos das criadas de seus servos, como um dos vaidosos se descobre sem vergonha”!
21 And David said to Michal, It was before the LORD, who chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.
David disse a Michal: “Foi antes de Yahweh, que me escolheu acima de seu pai, e acima de toda sua casa, para me nomear príncipe sobre o povo de Yahweh, sobre Israel. Portanto, vou comemorar antes de Iavé.
22 And I will yet be more contemptible than this, and will be base in my own sight: and by the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, by them shall I be had in honour.
Serei ainda mais indigno do que isto, e não terei mais valor à minha própria vista. Mas as criadas de quem vocês falaram me honrarão”.
23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child until the day of her death.
Michal, a filha de Saul, não teve filhos até o dia de sua morte.
