< 2 Sama’ila 6 >

1 Dawuda ya sāke tattara zaɓaɓɓun mutanen Isra’ila, dubu talatin.
And David, once more, gathered together all the choice young men in Israel, thirty thousand.
2 Shi, da dukan mutanensa suka tashi daga Ba’ala-Yahuda don su hauro da akwatin alkawarin Allah, wanda ake kira da SunanUbangiji Maɗaukaki, wanda yake zama a tsakanin kerubobin da suke a kan akwatin alkawarin.
Then David, and all the people that were with him, arose and went beyond Baale Judah, —to bring up from thence, the ark of God, the name whereof is called by the name of Yahweh of hosts, who inhabiteth the cherubim thereupon.
3 Suka ɗauko akwatin alkawarin Allah a sabuwar keken yaƙi, suka kawo shi daga gidan Abinadab, wanda yake bisa tudu. Uzza da Ahiyo,’ya’yan Abinadab maza, suka bi da keken yaƙin da akwatin alkawarin Allah yake ciki suka bi da keken yaƙin
So they carried the ark of God in a new waggon, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeah, —and, Uzza and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were driving the new waggon.
4 da akwatin alkawarin Allah yake ciki. Ahiyo kuwa yana tafiya a gaban Abinadab.
So they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in Gibeah, with the ark of God, —and, Ahio, was going before the ark.
5 Dawuda da dukan gidan Isra’ila suka yi biki sosai da dukan ƙarfinsu a gaban Ubangiji, da waƙoƙi, da molaye, da garayu, da ganguna, da kacau-kacau da kuma kuge.
And, David and all the house of Israel, were dancing for joy before Yahweh, with all boldness and with songs, —and with lyres, and with harps, and with timbrels, and with sistrums, and with cymbals.
6 Da suka kai masussukar Nakon, sai Uzza ya miƙa hannu don yă riƙe akwatin alkawarin Allah, gama shanun sun yi tuntuɓe.
And, when they came as far as the threshing-floor of Nachon, Uzzah thrust forth his hand unto the ark of God, and took hold of it, for the oxen were restive.
7 Fushin Ubangiji kuwa ya ƙuna a kan Uzza domin aikin rashin bangirma, saboda haka Allah ya buge shi ya kuma mutu a can kusa da akwatin alkawarin Allah.
Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh, against Uzzah, and God smote him there, for the error, —so that he died there, by the ark of God.
8 Ran Dawuda ya ɓace gama fushin Ubangiji ya ɓarke a kan Uzza. Shi ya sa har wa yau ana kira wurin Ferez Uzza.
And it was a sadness unto David, for that Yahweh had broken in with a breach against Uzzah, —therefore called he that place, Perez-uzzah [as it is called] until this day.
9 Dawuda ya ji tsoron Ubangiji a ranar, sai ya ce, “Yaya akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji zai iya zuwa wurina?”
And David was afraid of Yahweh, on that day, —and said, How can the ark of Yahweh come unto me?
10 Bai so yă ɗauki akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji yă kasance tare da shi a Birnin Dawuda ba. A maimakon haka sai ya kai shi gidan Obed-Edom mutumin Gat.
So David would not remove unto him the ark of Yahweh, unto the city of David, —but David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom, the Gittite.
11 Akwatin Alkawarin Ubangiji ya kasance a gidan Obed-Edom mutumin Gat har tsawon wata uku, Ubangiji kuwa ya albarkace shi da dukan iyalinsa.
And the ark of Yahweh abode in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite, three months, —and Yahweh blessed Obed -edom, and all his household.
12 To, sai aka faɗa wa Sarki Dawuda cewa, “Ubangiji ya sa wa gidan Obed-Edom albarka da dukan abin da yake da shi, saboda akwatin alkawarin Allah.” Saboda haka sai Dawuda ya gangara ya hauro da akwatin alkawarin Allah daga gidan Obed-Edom zuwa Birnin Dawuda da farin ciki.
And it was told King David, saying, Yahweh hath blessed the household of Obed-edom, and all that he hath, because of the ark of God. David therefore went and brought up the ark of God, out of the house of Obed-edom, unto the city of David, with rejoicing.
13 Sa’ad da waɗanda suke ɗaukan akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji suka yi tafiya taki shida, sai yă yi hadayar bijimi da saniya mai ƙiba.
And so it was that, when they who bare the ark of Yahweh had stepped forward six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a heifer.
14 Dawuda, sanye da efod lilin, ya yi ta rawa a gaban Ubangiji da dukan ƙarfinsa,
And, David, was dancing with all boldness before Yahweh, —David, being girt with an ephod of linen.
15 yayinda shi da dukan gidan Isra’ila suka hauro da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji da sowa da kuma busar ƙahoni.
So, David and all the house of Israel, were bringing up the ark of Yahweh, —with triumphant shoutings, and with the sound of a horn.
16 Sa’ad da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji ya shiga Birnin Dawuda, sai Mikal’yar Shawulu ta leƙa ta taga ta ga Dawuda sarki yana tsalle, yana rawa a gaban Ubangiji, sai ta rena shi a zuciyarta.
Now it so came about that, when the ark of Yahweh entered the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter, looked out through the window, and saw King David, leaping and dancing before Yahweh, and she despised him, in her heart.
17 Suka kawo akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, aka ajiye shi a inda aka shirya masa a cikin tentin da Dawuda ya shirya dominsa. Dawuda kuma ya miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa da hadaya ta salama a gaban Ubangiji.
So they brought in the ark of Yahweh, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent which David had stretched out for it, —and David caused to go up ascending-sacrifices before Yahweh, and peace-offerings.
18 Bayan ya gama yin hadaya ta ƙonawa da hadaya ta salama, sai ya albarkaci mutane a cikin sunan Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
And, when David had finished offering up the ascending-sacrifice and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh of hosts.
19 Sa’an nan ya rarraba abinci, da ƙosai, dabino, da waina ga kowane mutum a cikin dukan jama’ar Isra’ila, maza da mata. Dukan mutane kuwa suka watse zuwa gidajensu.
And he apportioned to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, both to men and to women—to every one, a loaf of bread, and a sweet drink, and a raisin-cake, —and all the people went their way, every one unto his own house;
20 Da Dawuda ya koma gida don yă sa wa gidansa albarka, sai Mikal’yar Shawulu ta fito don tă tarye shi, sai ta ce, “Tabbas sarkin Isra’ila ya fiffita kansa yau, ya tuɓe a gaban bayinsa’yan mata, kamar yadda duk marar kunya yakan yi!”
and David returned, to bless his household. Then came forth Michal Saul’s daughter to meet David, and said—How honoured, to-day, was the king of Israel in disrobing himself to-day, in the sight of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the low people, might disrobe himself?
21 Dawuda ya ce wa Mikal, “Na yi rawana domin in girmama Ubangiji ne, wanda ya zaɓe ni a maimakon mahaifinki ko wani daga cikin dukan gidansa, shi ne kuma ya sa ni sarki a kan Isra’ila, mutanen Ubangiji, zan yi biki a gaban Ubangiji.
And David said unto Michal, Before Yahweh, I will dance, —blessed, be Yahweh, who made choice of me above thy father, and above all his house, putting me in charge as leader over the people of Yahweh, over Israel, —therefore will I dance before Yahweh;
22 Zan ma mai da kaina abin reni fiye da haka, za a kuma zama abin reni a gare ki. Amma waɗannan bayi’yan matan da kika yi magana a kai, za su gan ni da martaba.”
and will make myself, yet more, lightly esteemed that this, and become lowly in mine own eyes, —nevertheless, with the handmaids of whom thou hast spoken, with them, shall I be honoured.
23 Mikal’yar Shawulu kuwa ba tă haifi ɗa ba har mutuwarta.
Therefore, Michal Saul’s daughter, had no child, —unto the day of her death.
