< Samuel 2 6 >

1 David gaƒo ƒu ame tiatia akpe blaetɔ̃ tso Israel dukɔ blibo la me.
And David assembled again all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 David kple eƒe ameawo katã dze mɔ tso Baala Yuda be woaɖakɔ Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la tso afi ma vɛ. Woyɔa Yehowa Ŋusẽkatãtɔ, ame si le Kerubi siwo le nubablaɖaka la dzi la ƒe ŋkɔ ɖe eŋu.
And David arose, and went with all the people who were with him from Ba'ale-yehudah, to bring up from there the ark of God, the name of which was called by the name of the Lord of hosts, that dwelleth over the cherubim.
3 Wokɔ Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la da ɖe tasiaɖam yeye aɖe dzi eye wokɔe tso Abinadab ƒe aƒe si le toa ŋu la me. Ame siwo tutu tasiaɖam la woe nye Abinadab ƒe viŋutsuwo, Uza kple Ahio.
And they conveyed the ark of God in a new wagon, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was on the hill; and 'Uzzah and Achyo, the sons of Abinadab, guided the new wagon.
4 Ahio nɔ zɔzɔm le ŋgɔ,
When they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was on the hill, [they were] near the ark of God; but Achyo went before the ark.
5 David kple Israel ƒe aƒe blibo la katã nɔ dzidzɔ kpɔm, nɔ ɣe ɖum kple woƒe ŋusẽ katã le Yehowa ŋkume. Wonɔ ha dzim ɖe saŋkuwo, kasaŋkuwo, gaviwo kple gakogoewo ŋu.
And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of fir-wood, and on harps, and on psalteries, and on tambourines, and with bells, and with cymbals.
6 Esi woɖo Nakon ƒe lugbɔƒe la, Uza do asi ɖa lé Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la elabena nyiawo ƒe afɔwo kli nu.
And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nachon, 'Uzzah put forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.
7 Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe Uza ŋu heƒoe ƒu anyi wòku enumake ɖe mabumabu nu si wòwɔ la ta, ale wòku le Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la xa.
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against 'Uzzah; and God smote him there for the error; and he died there by the ark of God.
8 David do dɔmedzoe ɖe Yehowa ŋu le nu si wòwɔ Uza la ta eye wòna ŋkɔ teƒe ma be “Perez Uza” si gɔmee nye, “Afi si wodo dɔmedzoe ɖe Uza ŋu le.” Ŋkɔ sia tsi teƒe la ŋu va se ɖe egbe.
And it was grievous to David, because the Lord had suddenly taken away 'Uzzah; and he called that place Perez-'uzzah [[Breach of 'Uzzah]] until this day.
9 David vɔ̃ Mawu eye wòbia be “Aleke Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la ava aƒee?”
And David was afraid of the Lord on that day, and said, How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?
10 Nu sia na David ɖo ta me be yemakɔe ayi eɖokui gbɔ le David ƒe Du la me o, eya ta ekɔe yi ɖada ɖe Obed Edom, ame si tso Git la ƒe aƒe me.
So David would not allow to have the ark of the Lord removed unto him into the city of David; but David had it carried round into the house of 'Obed-edom the Gittite.
11 Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la nɔ afi ma ɣleti etɔ̃ eye Yehowa yra Obed Edom kple eƒe aƒemetɔwo katã.
And the ark of the Lord remained in the house of 'Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and the Lord blessed 'Obed-edom, and all his household.
12 Esi Fia David se nya sia be, “Yehowa yra Obed Edom ƒe aƒe kple nu siwo katã le esi le Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la ta” la, David yi ɖakɔ Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la kple aseyetsotso.
And it was told to king David, saying, The Lord hath blessed the house of 'Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God: and David then went and brought up the ark of God from the house of 'Obed-edom into the city of David with joy.
13 Ne ame siwo kɔ nubablaɖaka la ɖe afɔ zi ade la, wotɔna, lalana eye David tsɔa nyitsu ɖeka kple alẽvi dami ɖeka saa vɔe.
And it happened, that when the bearers of the ark of the Lord had progressed six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.
14 David ɖu ɣe kple eƒe ŋusẽ katã le Yehowa ŋkume le esime wòdo awu ʋlaya si wotɔ kple aklala biɖibiɖi.
And David danced with all his might before the Lord; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15 Ale Israel kɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la va aƒee kple aseyetsotso kple kpẽkuku geɖe.
So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the cornet.
16 Esi Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la va ɖo David ƒe du la me la, Mixal, Saul ƒe vinyɔnu kpɔ Fia David to fesre to wònɔ kpo tim, nɔ ɣe ɖum le Yehowa ŋkume eye Mixal ɖu fewu le David ŋu le eƒe dzime.
And it happened, as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked through the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.
17 Wokɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la da ɖe agbadɔ si David tu nɛ me eye David sa numevɔ kple akpedavɔ na Yehowa.
And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt-offerings before the Lord and peace-offerings.
18 Esi David sa numevɔ kple akpedavɔ vɔ la, eyra ameawo le Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkɔ me
And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19 eye wòtsɔ abolo ɖeka, lãkɔ kple waintsetsebolo na ame sia ame le Israel ƒe ameha blibo la dome, ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo siaa. Ale ame sia ame trɔ yi aƒe me.
And he dealt out to all the people, to the whole multitude of Israel, to both men and women, to every person one cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine: and all the people departed every one to his house.
20 David hã yi eƒe aƒe me eye wòyra eƒe aƒemetɔwo. Mixal va do goe eye wògblɔ na David fewuɖutɔe be, “Israel fia la de bubu gã aɖe ŋutɔ eɖokui ŋu egbe! Eɖe eɖokui fia nyɔnuviwo le ablɔ dzi abe yakame gbɔlo aɖe ene!”
And David then returned to bless his household. But Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and she said, How honored was today the king of Israel, who uncovered himself today before the eyes of the hand-maids of his servants, as only one of the low fellows can uncover himself!
21 David ɖo eŋu be, “Yehowa, ame si tiam ɖe fofowò kple eƒe ƒome la teƒe eye wòɖom kplɔlae ɖe Israel, Yehowa ƒe amewo, nu la ŋkumee meɖu ɣe le! Eya ta mele klalo be mawɔ nu abe abunɛtɔ ene ale be maɖe nye dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ le Yehowa me afia.
And David said unto Michal, Before the Lord, who chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to ordain me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel: —yea, before the Lord will I yet farther play.
22 Ɛ̃, melɔ̃ be magawɔ ɖokuinye abunɛtɔ gã aɖe wu esia gɔ̃ hã, ke nyɔnuvi siwo ŋu nèƒo nu le la agade bubu ŋunye wu esia.”
And should I be yet more vile than thus, and should I be base in my own eyes: yet among the maid-servants of whom thou hast spoken, yea, among them would I still be honored.
23 Ale Mixal tsi ko le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me.
And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child until the day of her death.
