II Samuela 6
1 HOULUULU hou ae la o Davida i na kanaka i waeia a pau o ka Iseraela, he kanakolu tausani.
Then David chose 30,000 Israeli men and gathered them together.
2 Ku ae la o Davida, a hele pu aku la me na kanaka a pau me ia mai Baale o ka Iuda, e halihali mai laila mai i ka pahu o ke Akua, i ka mea i heaia aku ai ka inoa, ka inoa o Iehova sabaota, o ka Mea e noho ana mawaena o na kerubima.
He led them to the place in Judah [formerly] called Baalah, [now called Kiriath-Jearim]. They went in order to bring from there [to Jerusalem] the sacred chest, which had the name of Yahweh, the leader of the armies of [the angels in] heaven, written on it, and which had the [statues of the] winged creatures on top of it. Between those statues was where Yahweh spoke messages about ruling his people [MTY].
3 Kau aku la lakou i ka pahu o ke Akua maluna o ke kaa hou, a lawe mai la ia mailoko ae o ka hale o Abinadaba ma Gibea. Kai aku la o Uza a me Ahio na keikikane a Abinadaba i ke kaa hou.
The sacred chest was in the house of Abinadab, on top of a hill. They went there, and they put the chest on a new cart. Uzzah and Ahio, the two sons of Abinadab, were guiding [the oxen that were pulling the cart].
4 Lawe mai la lakou ia mea mailoko mai o ka hale o Abinadaba ma Gibea, e hele pu ana me ka pahu o ke Akua, a hele aku la o Ahio imua o ka pahu.
Uzzah walked alongside the cart, and Ahio walked in front of it.
5 Hookani aku la o Davida a me ka ohana a Iseraela a pau imua o Iehova, me na mea kani o na laau o kela ano o keia ano; me na lira, na pesaleteria, na timeberela, na korineta, a me na kimebala.
David and all the Israeli men were celebrating in God’s presence, singing with all their strength and [playing] lyres and harps, and beating tambourines, and clashing castanets and cymbals.
6 A hiki aku la lakou i kahi hehipalaoa no Nakona, o aku la o Uza i kona lima i ka pahu o ke Akua, a paa aku la ia; no ka mea ua okupe na bipikauo.
But when they came to the place where Nacon threshed grain, the oxen stumbled. So Uzzah put his hand on the sacred chest to (steady it/prevent it from falling [off the cart]).
7 Huhu mai la o Iehova ia Uza, a hahau mai la ke Akua ia ia malaila, no kona hala; a make iho la ia malaila ma ka pahu o ke Akua.
Yahweh immediately became very angry with Uzzah, and he killed him right there alongside the sacred chest, because he had touched the chest, [and Yahweh had commanded that only the descendants of Levi who help the priests should touch the sacred chest].
8 Ukiuki iho la o Davida i ko Iehova hahau ana aku ia Uza; a kapa aku la o Davida i ka inoa o ia wahi, o Perezuza.
David was angry because Yahweh had punished Uzzah. So ever since that time, that place has been called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
9 Makau iho la o Davida ia Iehova ia la, i iho la, Pehea la e hiki aku ai ka pahu o ke Akua io'u la?
David was [also] afraid of [what else] Yahweh [would do to punish them], so he said, “(How can I take the sacred chest with me [to Jerusalem]?/I am afraid to take the sacred chest with me [to Jerusalem].)” [RHQ]
10 Nolaila, aole i lawe o Davida i ka pahu o Iehova io na la i ke kulanakauhale o Davida: aka, lawe ae la o Davida ia mea iloko o ka hale o Obededoma no Gata.
So he did not want to take the sacred chest to Jerusalem. Instead, they took it to another place; they took it to the house of Obed-Edom, from Gath [city].
11 A waiho wale ia ka pahu o Iehova ma ka hale o Obededoma no Gata i na malama ekolu, a hoopomaikai mai la o Iehova ia Obededoma a me ko ka hale ona a pau.
They left the sacred chest in the house of Obed-Edom for three months, and [during that time] Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom and his family.
12 Hai aku la lakou ia Davida i ke alii, i mai la, E, ua hoopomaikai o Iehova i ko ka hale o Obededoma, a me na mea a pau ia ia, no ka pahu o ke Akua. A hele aku la o Davida, a lawe mai la i ka pahu o ke Akua, mai ka hale o Obededoma mai, a iloko o ke kulanakauhale o Davida me ka olioli.
Later, people told David, “Yahweh has blessed Obed-Edom and his family because [he is taking care] of the sacred chest!” When David heard that, he [and some other men] went to Obed-Edom’s house, and very joyfully brought the sacred chest from there to Jerusalem.
13 Aia, hele aku la ka poe halihali i ka pahu o Iehova i na ana eono, mohai aku la oia i na bipi a me na mea i kupaluia.
[This time, descendants of Levi] were carrying the sacred chest, but when they had walked only six steps, they stopped, and there David killed a bull and a fat calf, and offered them to Yahweh for a sacrifice.
14 Haa ikaika aku la hoi o Davida imua o Iehova; a ua kaeiia o Davida i ka epoda olona.
David was wearing [only] a linen cloth wrapped around his waist, and was dancing very energetically to honor Yahweh.
15 A halihali mai la o Davida a me ka ohana a Iseraela a pau i ka pahu o Iehova me ka hooho ana, a me ka hookani ana i ka pu.
David and the Israeli men took the sacred chest up [to Jerusalem], shouting [loudly] and blowing trumpets.
16 A i ka hiki ana mai o ka pahu o ke Akua iloko o ke kulanakauhale o Davida, nana aku la o Mikala ke kaikamahine a Saula ma ka puka makani, a ike aku la i ke alii ia Davida e lele ana, a e haa ana imua o Iehova; hoowahawaha aku la kona naau ia ia.
While they were carrying the sacred chest into the city, [David’s wife] Michal, who was Saul’s daughter, looked out the window [of her house]. She saw King David leaping and dancing to honor Yahweh. So she was disgusted with him.
17 Lawe mai la lakou i ka pahu o Iehova iloko, a kau iho la ia ma kona wahi, mawaena konu o ka halelewa a Davida i kukulu ai nona: a mohai aku la o Davida i na mohaikuni, a me na mohai aloha imua o Iehova.
They brought the sacred chest into the tent that David had erected for it. Then David gave to Yahweh offerings to be completely burned [on an altar], and other offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
18 A pau ae la ka Davida mohai ana i na mohaikuni a me na mohai hoomalu, hoomaikai aku la ia i na kanaka ma ka inoa o Iehova sabaota.
When David had finished offering those sacrifices, he asked Yahweh, the Commander of the armies [of the angels], to bless the people.
19 A haawi aku la ia na ka poe kanaka a pau, na ke anaina kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, na na wahine a me na kane, na kela mea keia mea, i ka popo berena a me kauwahi ia, a me kekahi pai huawaina. A hoi hou aku la na kanaka a pau i ko lakou mau wahi.
He also distributed food to all the people. To each Israeli man and woman he gave a loaf of bread, some meat, and a raisin cake. Then all the people returned to their homes.
20 Hoi hou aku la o Davida e hooaloha i ko ka hale ona. Hele mai la o Mikala ke kaikamahine a Saula e halawai me Davida, i mai la, Kai ka nani o ke alii o ka Iseraela i keia la, nana i wehe ae i kona kapa i keia la imua o na maka o na kauwawahine a kona poe kanaka, e like me ka wehe hilahila ole ana o kekahi kanaka lapuwale.
When David went home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family, his wife Michal came out to meet him. She said to him, “Maybe you, the king of Israel, [think that you] [IRO] were honoring yourself today, but really, you acted like a fool, uncovering yourself while the female servants of your officials were watching!”
21 I aku la o Davida ia Mikala, Imua ia o Ieliova, nana au i koho mai imua o kou makuakane, imua hoi o kana ohana a pau e hoonoho ia'u i alii maluna o ko Iehova poe kanaka, maluna o ka Iseraela: nolaila hoi e hula au imua o Iehova.
David replied to Michal, “[I was doing that] to honor Yahweh, who chose me instead of your father and other members of his family, to be the king of the Israeli people, the people who belong to Yahweh. And I will [continue to] dance to honor Yahweh!
22 A ma keia hope, e lilo ana au i mea i hoowahawahaia, a i mea ino hoi imua o ko'u maka iho: a o ka poe kauwawahine au i olelo mai ai, e hoomaikaiia mai hoi au e lakou.
[Even though you think that what I did] was disgraceful, I will continue to do it even more. You may despise me [because of what I did], but the women whom you were talking about will honor me!”
23 Nolaila, aohe keiki a Mikala ke kaikamahine a Saula a hiki i kona la i make ai.
[As a result, ] Saul’s daughter Michal never gave birth to any children.
