< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
Davide anasonkhanitsanso pamodzi ankhondo 3,000 osankhidwa pakati pa Aisraeli.
2 David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale Judah, to bring up from there God’s ark, which is called by the Name, even the name of Yahweh of Armies who sits above the cherubim.
Iye pamodzi ndi ankhondo ake onse anapita ku Baalahi ku Yuda kukatenga Bokosi la Chipangano la Mulungu, limene limadziwika ndi Dzina lake, dzina la Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, amene amakhala pakati pa Akerubi amene ali pa Bokosi la Chipanganolo.
3 They set God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house that was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
Iwo anayika Bokosi la Mulungu pa ngolo yatsopano nachoka nalo ku nyumba ya Abinadabu, imene inali pa phiri. Uza ndi Ahiyo ana a Abinadabu ndiwo ankayendetsa ngolo yatsopanoyo,
4 They brought it out of Abinadab’s house which was in the hill, with God’s ark; and Ahio went before the ark.
imene inanyamula Bokosi la Mulungu, ndipo Ahiyo mwana wa Abinadabu ankayenda patsogolo pake.
5 David and all the house of Israel played before Yahweh with all kinds of instruments made of cypress wood, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with castanets, and with cymbals.
Davide pamodzi ndi Aisraeli onse ankakondwerera ndi mphamvu zawo zonse pamaso pa Yehova poyimba nyimbo pogwiritsa ntchito azeze, apangwe, matambolini, maseche ndi malipenga.
6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached for God’s ark and took hold of it, for the cattle stumbled.
Atafika pa malo opunthira tirigu a Nakoni, Uza anatambalitsa dzanja lake kuti agwire Bokosi la Mulungu, chifukwa ngʼombe zinkafuna kugwa.
7 Yahweh’s anger burned against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by God’s ark.
Yehova anapsera mtima Uza chifukwa chochita chinthu chosayenera kuchitika. Choncho Mulungu anamukantha ndipo anafera pomwepo pambali pa Bokosi la Mulungulo.
8 David was displeased because Yahweh had broken out against Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah to this day.
Ndipo Davide anakhumudwa chifukwa Yehova anakantha Uza ndipo mpaka lero malowo amatchedwa Perezi Uza.
9 David was afraid of Yahweh that day; and he said, “How could Yahweh’s ark come to me?”
Tsiku limenelo Davide anachita mantha ndi Yehova ndipo anati, “Kodi Bokosi la Yehova lingafike bwanji kwathu?”
10 So David would not move Yahweh’s ark to be with him in David’s city; but David carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.
Iye sanafunenso kubwera ndi Bokosi la Yehova kawo ku mzinda wake wa Davide. Mʼmalo mwake anapita nalo ku nyumba ya Obedi-Edomu Mgiti.
11 Yahweh’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.
Bokosi la Yehova linakhala mʼnyumba ya Obedi-Edomu Mgiti kwa miyezi itatu, ndipo Yehova anamudalitsa kwambiri iyeyo ndi banja lake lonse.
12 King David was told, “Yahweh has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that belongs to him, because of God’s ark.” So David went and brought up God’s ark from the house of Obed-Edom into David’s city with joy.
Tsono Mfumu Davide anawuzidwa kuti, “Yehova wadalitsa nyumba ya Obedi-Edomu ndi zonse zimene ali nazo, chifukwa cha Bokosi la Mulungu.” Choncho Davide anapita kukatenga Bokosi la Mulungu ku nyumba ya Obedi-Edomu ndi kupita nalo ku mzinda wa Davide akukondwera kwambiri.
13 When those who bore Yahweh’s ark had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
Anthu amene ananyamula Bokosi la Yehova ankati akayenda mapazi asanu ndi limodzi, iye ankapereka nsembe ngʼombe yayimuna ndi mwana wangʼombe wonenepa.
14 David danced before Yahweh with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.
Davide ankavina ndi mphamvu zake zonse pamaso pa Yehova atavala efodi ya nsalu yofewa yosalala,
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up Yahweh’s ark with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.
pamene iyeyo pamodzi ndi Aisraeli onse ankabwera ndi Bokosi la Yehova, akufuwula ndi kuyimba malipenga.
16 As Yahweh’s ark came into David’s city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out through the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before Yahweh; and she despised him in her heart.
Bokosi la Yehova likulowa mu Mzinda wa Davide, Mikala mwana wamkazi wa Sauli ankaona ali pa zenera. Ndipo ataona Mfumu Davide ikulumpha ndi kuvina pamaso pa Yehova, ankamunyogodola mu mtima mwake.
17 They brought in Yahweh’s ark, and set it in its place in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh.
Iwo anabwera nalo Bokosi la Yehova ndipo analiyika pamalo pake mʼkati mwa tenti imene Davide anayimika ndipo Davideyo anapereka nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano pamaso pa Yehova.
18 When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh of Armies.
Atatsiriza kupereka nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano, iye anadalitsa anthu mʼdzina la Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
19 He gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, dates, and raisins. So all the people departed, each to his own house.
Kenaka iye anagawira Aisraeli onsewo, aamuna ndi aakazi, aliyense buledi mmodzi, nthuli yanyama, ndiponso keke yamphesa zowuma. Ndipo anthu onse anachokapo, napita aliyense ku nyumba kwake.
20 Then David returned to bless his household. Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”
Davide atabwerera ku nyumba kwake kukadalitsa banja lake, Mikala mwana wamkazi wa Sauli anatuluka kudzakumana naye ndipo anati, “Kodi mfumu ya Israeli ingatero kudzilemekeza kwake lero, kudzithyolathyola pamaso pa akapolo aakazi, antchito ake ngati munthu wamba.”
21 David said to Michal, “It was before Yahweh, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of Yahweh, over Israel. Therefore I will celebrate before Yahweh.
Davide anamuyankha Mikala kuti, “Ndachita zimenezi molemekeza Yehova, amene anandisankha ine kupambana abambo ako, kapenanso kupambana banja la abambo ako. Ndipo anandisankha kuti ndikhale wolamulira Aisraeli, anthu a Yehova. Nʼchifukwa chake ndidzasangalalabe pamaso pa Yehova.
22 I will be yet more undignified than this, and will be worthless in my own sight. But the maids of whom you have spoken will honor me.”
Ineyo ndidzadzinyoza kuposa apa, ndipo ndidzakhala wonyozeka mʼmaso mwako. Koma pakati pa akapolo aakazi awa amene umanena za iwo, ndidzalemekezedwa.”
23 Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
Ndipo Mikala mwana wa Sauli sanakhalenso ndi mwana mpaka anamwalira.
