2 Samuel 6
1 David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
David samlede alt udsøgt Mandskab i Israel, 30000 Mand.
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 the LORD of Hosts who sits above the cherubim.
Derpå brød David op med alle sine Krigere og drog til Ba'al i Juda for der at hente Guds Ark, over hvilken Hærskarers HERREs Navn er nævnet, han, som troner over Keruberne.
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.
De satte da Guds Ark på en ny Vogn og førte den bort fra Abinadabs Hus på Højen, og Abinadabs Sønner Uzza og Ajo kørte Vognen,
4 They brought it out of Abinadab’s house which was in the hill, with God’s ark; and Ahio went before the ark.
således at Uzza gik ved Siden af og Ajo foran Guds Ark.
5 David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD with all kinds of instruments made of cypress wood, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with castanets, and with cymbals.
David og hele Israel legede af alle Kræfter for HERRENs Åsyn til Sang og til Citre, Harper, Pauker, Bjælder og Cymbler.
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.
Men da de kom til Nakons Tærskeplads, rakte Uzza Hånden ud og greb fat i Guds Ark, fordi Okserne snublede.
7 The LORD’s anger burnt against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by God’s ark.
Da blussede HERRENS Vrede op mod Uzza, og Gud slog ham der, fordi han rakte Hånden ud mod Arken, og han døde på Stedet ved Siden af Guds Ark.
8 David was displeased because the LORD had broken out against Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah to this day.
Men David græmmede sig over, at HERREN havde tilføjet Uzza et Brud. Derfor kaldte man Stedet Perez-Uzza, som det hedder den Dag i Dag.
9 David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, “How could the LORD’s ark come to me?”
Og David grebes den Dag af Frygt for HERREN og sagde: "Hvor kan da HERRENs Ark komme hen hos mig!"
10 So David would not move the LORD’s ark to be with him in David’s city; but David carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.
Og David vilde ikke flytte HERRENs Ark hen hos sig i Davidsbyen, men lod den sætte ind i Gatiten Obed-Edoms Hus.
11 The LORD’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and the LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.
HERRENs Ark blev så i Gatiten Obed-Edoms Hus tre Måneder, og HERREN velsignede Obed-Edom og hele hans Hus.
12 King David was told, “The LORD 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.
Da nu Kong David fik Underretning om, at HERREN for Guds Arks Skyld havde velsignet Obed-Edoms Hus og alt, hvad hans var, gik han hen og lod under Festglæde Guds Ark bringe op fra Obed-Edoms Hus til Davidsbyen.
13 When those who bore the LORD’s ark had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
Og da de, som bar HERRENs Ark, havde gået seks Skridt, ofrede han en Okse og en Fedekalv.
14 David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.
Og David dansede af alle Kræfter for HERRENs Åsyn, iført en linned Efod.
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the LORD’s ark with shouting and with the sound of the shofar.
Således bragte David og hele Israel HERRENs Ark op under Festjubel og Hornblæsning.
16 As the LORD’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 the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
Men da HERRENs Ark kom til Davidsbyen, så Sauls Datter Mikal ud af Vinduet; og da hun så Kong David springe og danse for HERRENs Åsyn, ringeagtede hun ham i sit Hjerte.
17 They brought in the LORD’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 the LORD.
De førte så HERRENs Ark ind og stillede den på Plads midt i det Telt, David havde rejst den, og David ofrede Brændofre og Takofre for HERRENs Åsyn.
18 When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Hosts.
Og da David var færdig med Brændofrene og Takofrene, velsignede han Folket i Hærskarers HERREs Navn
19 He gave to all the people, even amongst 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.
og uddelte til alt Folket, til hver enkelt af hele Israels Mængde, både Mand og Kvinde, et Brød, et Stykke Kød og en Rosinkage; derpå gik alt Folket hver til sit.
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!”
Men da David vendte hjem for at velsigne sit Hus, gik Sauls Datter Mikal ham i Møde og sagde: "Hvor ærbart Israels Konge opførte sig i Dag, da han blottede sig for sine Undersåtters Trælkvinders Øjne, som letfærdige Mennesker plejer at gøre!"
21 David said to Michal, “It was before the LORD, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of the LORD, over Israel. Therefore I will celebrate before the LORD.
David svarede Mikal: "For HERRENs Åsyn vil jeg lege, så sandt HERREN lever, som udvalgte mig fremfor din Fader og hele hans Hus, så han satte mig til Fyrste over HERRENs Folk Israel; jeg vil lege for HERRENs Åsyn,
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 honour me.”
selv om jeg derved nedværdiges og synker endnu dybere i dine Øjne; men hos Trælkvinderne, du talte om, skal jeg vinde Ære!"
23 Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
Og Sauls Datter Mikal fik til sin Dødedag intet Barn.
