Samuel 2 6
1 David gaƒo ƒu ame tiatia akpe blaetɔ̃ tso Israel dukɔ blibo la me.
And David again gathered together 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 to Baalah, that is, Kiriath Jearim of Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called there by the name of YHWH enthroned on 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 set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was on the hill. And Uzza and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, guided the cart
4 Ahio nɔ zɔzɔm le ŋgɔ,
with the ark; and Ahio was walking in front of 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 the children of Israel played before YHWH with all their strength and with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with castanets, 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 Nodan, Uzza reached out his hand to the ark of God, to steady it; for the oxen stumbled.
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 YHWH became angry at Uzza; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died before 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 David was displeased, because YHWH had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.
9 David vɔ̃ Mawu eye wòbia be “Aleke Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la ava aƒee?”
And David was afraid of YHWH that day; and he said, "How can the ark of God come to me?" Now the ark of YHWH arrived,
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.
but David was not willing to move the ark of YHWH with him to the City of David; so David diverted it to 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 YHWH remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months, and YHWH blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.
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 king David, saying, "YHWH has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him because of the ark of God." And David said, "I will bring back the blessing to my house." And David went and brought up the ark of YHWH 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 was so, that, when those who bore the ark had gone six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
14 David ɖu ɣe kple eƒe ŋusẽ katã le Yehowa ŋkume le esime wòdo awu ʋlaya si wotɔ kple aklala biɖibiɖi.
And David danced before YHWH with all his might; and he was clothed in a linen ephod.
15 Ale Israel kɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la va aƒee kple aseyetsotso kple kpẽkuku geɖe.
And David and all Israel brought up the ark of YHWH with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
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.
Now, as the ark entered the City of David, Mikal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before YHWH; 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 YHWH, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had set up for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before YHWH.
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 offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of YHWH 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 gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. So all the people departed everyone 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 then David returned to bless his household. Mikal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David. And she greeted him, and said, "How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the servants of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers 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 to Mikal, "I was dancing before YHWH. Blessed be YHWH, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over his people Israel; therefore I will celebrate before YHWH.
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 I will be yet more vile than this, and will be lowly in your eyes. But of the servants of whom you have spoken, they shall honor me."
23 Ale Mixal tsi ko le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me.
And Mikal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
