2 Samuel 6
1 Emesịa, Devid chịkọtara iri puku ndị agha Izrel atọ a zụziri azụzi,
Then David again gathered together all the elect men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 Ya na ndị ikom ya niile gara Baala nʼime Juda, isi nʼebe ahụ bugota igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke, nke akpọkwasịrị Aha ya, bụ aha Onyenwe anyị. Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, onye na-anọkwasị nʼetiti cherubim.
And David arose and went away, with the entire people who were with him from the men of Judah, so that they might lead back the ark of God, over which is invoked the name of the Lord of hosts, who sits upon the cherubim above it.
3 Ha dọkwasịrị igbe Chineke ahụ nʼelu ụgbọala ọhụrụ ehi na-adọkpụ, buputa ya site nʼụlọ Abinadab nke dị nʼelu ugwu nta. Ọ bụ Ụza na Ahio, ụmụ Abinadab, na-edu ụgbọala ọhụrụ ahụ,
And they placed the ark of God on a new cart. And they took it from the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeon. And Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4 nke igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke dị nʼelu ya, Ahio butere ụzọ na-aga nʼihu igbe ahụ.
And when they had taken it from the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeon, Ahio preceded the ark as the keeper of the ark of God.
5 Devid na ndị Izrel weere ike ha niile na-aṅụ ọṅụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ha ji abụ, ụbọ akwara, opi, une na ogene na ihe egwu dị iche iche, dịka ịgba na ekwe na-eti egwu.
But David and all of Israel played before the Lord on every kind of musical instrument made of wood, and on harps, and lyres, and timbrels, and bells, and cymbals.
6 Mgbe ha rutere nʼebe ịzọcha ọka nke Nakọn, Ụza setịpụrụ aka ya, jide igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke ahụ, nʼihi na ehi ahụ zọhiere ụkwụ.
And after they had arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah extended his hand to the ark of God, and he touched it, because the oxen were kicking and had caused it to tip.
7 Ma iwe Onyenwe anyị dị ọkụ megide Ụza, nʼihi omume enweghị nsọpụrụ o mere. Ya mere, Chineke tigburu ya. Ọ nwụọ nʼebe ahụ nʼakụkụ igbe Chineke.
And the indignation of the Lord was enraged against Uzzah. And he struck him for his temerity. And there he died, beside the ark of God.
8 Mgbe ahụ, iwe were Devid, nʼihi ọnụma Onyenwe anyị dakwasịrị Ụza. Ruo taa, a na-akpọ ebe ahụ Perez Ụza.
Then David was saddened because the Lord had struck Uzzah. And the name of that place was called: the Striking of Uzzah, even to this day.
9 Devid tụrụ egwu Onyenwe anyị nʼụbọchị ahụ. O kwuru sị, “Igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ọ ga-esi aṅaa bịakwute m?”
And David was very fearful of the Lord on that day, saying, “How shall the ark of the Lord be brought to me?”
10 O kweghị ebubata igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ nʼime obodo Devid, kama o bugara ya nʼụlọ Obed-Edọm, onye Git.
And he was not willing to send the ark of the Lord to himself in the city of David. Instead, he sent it into the house of Obededom, the Gittite.
11 Igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị nọrọ nʼụlọ Obed-Edọm, onye Git ọnwa atọ. Onyenwe anyị gọzikwara ya na ezinaụlọ ya niile.
And the ark of the Lord dwelt in the house of Obededom the Gittite, for three months. And the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household.
12 Mgbe a gwara eze bụ Devid si, “Onyenwe anyị agọziela ezinaụlọ Obed-Edọm na ihe niile o nwere, nʼihi igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke.” Nʼihi nke a, Devid ji oke ọṅụ gaa nʼụlọ Obed-Edọm, nʼihi ibugote igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke, buga nʼobodo Devid.
And it was reported to king David that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that was his, because of the ark of God. Therefore, David went and brought the ark of God, from the house of Obededom, into the city of David with joy. And there were with David seven choirs, and calves for victims.
13 Mgbe ndị bu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ zọrọ nzọ ụkwụ isii; ọ na-eji oke ehi na nwa ehi gbara abụba chụọ aja.
And when those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had traveled six steps, he immolated an ox and a ram.
14 Devid ji ike ya niile na-ete egwu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ yi uwe efọọd e ji akwa ọcha dụọ nʼụbọchị ahụ,
And David danced with all his ability before the Lord. And David was girded with the linen ephod.
15 mgbe ya na ndị Izrel niile ji iti mkpu na ụda ịfụ opi ike na-ebubata igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị.
And David, and all the house of Israel, were leading the ark of the testament of the Lord, with jubilation and the sound of the trumpet.
16 Mgbe ha bu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị na-abata nʼobodo Devid, Mikal, nwa Sọl lepụrụ anya site na oghereikuku ụlọ. Mgbe ọ hụrụ eze Devid ka ọ na-awụli elu na-etekwa egwu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, o ledara ya anya nʼime obi ya.
And when the ark of the Lord had entered into the city of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looking out through a window, saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord. And she despised him in her heart.
17 Ha bubatara igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ, guzobe ya nʼọnọdụ ya nʼime ụlọ ikwu nke Devid manyere maka ya. Devid chụrụ aja nsure ọkụ na aja udo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
And they led in the ark of the Lord. And they set it in its place in the middle of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it. And David offered holocausts and peace offerings in the sight of the Lord.
18 Mgbe ọ chụsịrị aja nsure ọkụ na aja udo ndị a, ọ gọziri ndị Izrel nʼaha Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile.
And when he had completed offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19 O nyekwara onye ọbụla nʼetiti igwe ndị Izrel niile ahụ, ma nwoke ma nwanyị, otu ogbe achịcha, ọkpụrụkpụ anụ na achịcha mkpụrụ osisi a mịkpọrọ amịkpọ. Ndị a niile lara, onye ọbụla nʼụlọ nke ya.
And he distributed to the entire multitude of Israel, as much to men as to women, to each one: one loaf of bread, and one piece of roasted beef, and fine wheat flour fried with oil. And all the people went away, each one to his own house.
20 Mgbe Devid lọtara ka ọ gọzie ndị ụlọ ya, Mikal, ada Sọl pụtara izute ya, sị, “Lee ka eze Izrel si mee onwe ya onye dị ukwuu taa! Ọ gbara onwe ya ọtọ na mbara, nʼihu ndị ohu nwanyị nke ndị odibo ya dịka mmadụ efu.”
And David returned, so that he might bless his own house. And Michal, the daughter of Saul, going out to meet David, said: “How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself before the handmaids of his servants, and being unclothed, as if one of the performers were unclothed.”
21 Ma Devid zara Mikal sị ya, “Ọ bụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị onye họpụtara m karịa nna gị maọbụ onye ọbụla ọzọ sitere nʼụlọ ya ka m tere egwu. E, Onyenwe anyị ahụ họpụtara m ịbụ onyendu Izrel, ndị nke ya. Nʼezie, aga m aga nʼihu ịkpa agwa dịka onye nzuzu nʼihi ịsọpụrụ Onyenwe anyị.
And David said to Michal: “Before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father, and rather than his entire house, and who commanded me, that I should be the leader over the people of the Lord in Israel,
22 E, aga m aga nʼihu ịghọ onye na-enweghị uche, na onye e weturu ala nʼanya onwe m. Ma ụmụ agbọghọ ndị ahụ i kwuru okwu ha, ha ga-asọpụrụ m!”
I will both play and demean myself, more so than I have done. And I will be little in my own eyes. And with the handmaids, about whom you are speaking, I will appear more glorious.”
23 Mikal, ada Sọl amụtaghị nwa ọbụla ruo nʼoge ọnwụ ya.
And so, there was no child born to Michal, the daughter of Saul, even to the day of her death.
