2 Samuel 6

1 Again, David assembled all [the] chosen [men] of Israel, thirty thousand,

Kemudian Daud memanggil lagi prajurit-prajurit yang terbaik di Israel supaya berkumpul, jumlahnya 30.000 orang.

2 And David arose, and went with all the people that [were] with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth [between] the cherubim.

Mereka dipimpinnya menuju ke Baale-Yehuda, untuk mengambil dari sana Peti Perjanjian yang disebut dengan nama TUHAN Mahakuasa yang bertahta di atas kerub-kerub.

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.

Peti Perjanjian itu diambil dari rumah Abinadab di atas bukit dan dinaikkan ke dalam pedati yang baru. Lalu Uza dan Ahio, anak-anak Abinadab mengiringi pedati itu; Uza berjalan di sampingnya,

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.

dan Ahio berjalan di depannya.

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.

Daud dan seluruh bangsa Israel berjalan di depan Peti itu sambil menari-nari sekuat tenaga dan bernyanyi-nyanyi untuk menghormati TUHAN. Mereka bermain kecapi, gambus, rebana, kelentingan, dan simbal.

6 And when they came to Nachon's threshing-floor, Uzzah put forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it: for the oxen shook [it].

Ketika mereka sampai di tempat pengirikan gandum milik Nakhon, sapi-sapi yang menarik pedati itu tersandung, lalu Uza mengulurkan tangannya dan memegang Peti Perjanjian itu supaya jangan jatuh.

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.

Pada saat itu juga TUHAN Allah menjadi marah kepada Uza, karena perbuatannya itu merupakan penghinaan kepada TUHAN. Uza dibunuh-Nya di tempat itu, di dekat Peti Perjanjian.

8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perez-uzzah to this day.

Maka sejak saat itu tempat itu disebut Peres-Uza. Daud marah karena TUHAN membinasakan Uza.

9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?

Tetapi Daud takut juga kepada TUHAN dan berkata, "Sekarang bagaimana Peti Perjanjian itu dapat kubawa?"

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 Obed-edom the Gittite.

Sebab itu ia tidak mau lagi membawa Peti Perjanjian itu ke Yerusalem, melainkan menyimpannya di rumah Obed-Edom orang Gat.

11 And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obed-edom and all his household.

Peti Perjanjian itu tinggal di situ tiga bulan lamanya, dan TUHAN memberkati Obed-Edom dan keluarganya.

12 And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, 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 Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.

Raja Daud mendengar bahwa TUHAN memberkati keluarga Obed-Edom dan segala miliknya karena Peti Perjanjian itu. Maka pergilah ia ke rumah Obed-Edom, mengambil Peti untuk memindahkannya ke Yerusalem dengan perayaan besar.

13 And it was [so], that when they that bore the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

Ketika orang-orang yang mengangkat Peti Perjanjian itu sudah berjalan enam langkah, Daud menyuruh mereka berhenti. Lalu ia mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN, yaitu sapi jantan dan anak sapi yang digemukkan.

14 And David danced before the LORD with all [his] might; and David [was] girded with a linen ephod.

Kemudian Daud menari-nari dengan penuh semangat untuk menghormati TUHAN. Pada waktu itu ia hanya memakai sarung linen pendek yang diikat pada pinggangnya.

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.

Demikianlah Daud dan seluruh rakyat Israel memindahkan Peti Perjanjian itu ke Yerusalem, diiringi sorak-sorai dan bunyi trompet.

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.

Ketika Peti itu sedang dibawa masuk ke dalam kota, Mikhal putri Saul menjenguk dari jendela lalu melihat Raja Daud melompat-lompat dan menari-nari untuk menghormati TUHAN, dan Mikhal merasa muak melihat Daud.

17 And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the LORD.

Peti Perjanjian itu diletakkan di tempatnya di dalam kemah yang telah dipasang oleh Daud untuk Peti itu. Kemudian Daud mempersembahkan kurban bakaran dan kurban perdamaian kepada TUHAN.

18 And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.

Lalu ia memberkati rakyat Israel dengan nama TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa.

19 And he dealt 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.

Kemudian membagi-bagikan makanan kepada mereka semua. Setiap orang yang ada di situ baik laki-laki maupun wanita diberinya sepotong daging panggang, roti dan kue kismis. Setelah itu mereka semua pulang ke rumahnya masing-masing.

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 vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!

Pada waktu Daud pulang ke istana untuk memberi salam kepada keluarganya, Mikhal ke luar mendapatkan Daud dan berkata, "Hari ini raja Israel sungguh-sungguh membuat dirinya terhormat! Ia telah bertelanjang seperti orang dungu yang tak tahu malu di depan budak-budak perempuan milik para pegawai istana!"

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.

Daud menjawab, "Aku menari untuk menghormati TUHAN, yang telah menolak ayahmu serta keluarganya, lalu memilih aku menjadi pemimpin Israel, umat-Nya. Sebab itu aku akan terus menari untuk menghormati TUHAN.

22 And I shall yet be more vile than thus, and shall be base in my own sight: and by the maid-servants which thou hast spoken of, by them shall I be had in honor.

Bahkan aku bersedia dihina lebih daripada tadi. Boleh saja engkau memandang rendah kepadaku, tetapi budak-budak yang kausebutkan tadi, akan menghargai aku!"

23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child until the day of her death.

Mikhal, putri Saul itu tidak beranak seumur hidupnya.
