< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 Daud mengumpulkan pula semua orang pilihan di antara orang Israel, tiga puluh ribu orang banyaknya.
And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 Kemudian bersiaplah Daud, lalu berjalan dari Baale-Yehuda dengan seluruh rakyat yang menyertainya, untuk mengangkut dari sana tabut Allah, yang disebut dengan nama TUHAN semesta alam yang bertakhta di atas kerubim.
And David arose and went, with all the people that were with him of the men of Juda to fetch the ark of God, upon which the name of the Lord of hosts is invoked, who sitteth over it upon the cherubims.
3 Mereka menaikkan tabut Allah itu ke dalam kereta yang baru setelah mengangkatnya dari rumah Abinadab yang di atas bukit. Lalu Uza dan Ahyo, anak-anak Abinadab, mengantarkan kereta itu.
And they laid the ark of God upon a new cart: and took it out of the house of Abinadab, who was in Gabaa: and Oza, and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4 Uza berjalan di samping tabut Allah itu, sedang Ahyo berjalan di depan tabut itu.
And when they had taken it out of the house of Abinadab, who was in Gabaa, Ahio having care of the ark of God went before the ark.
5 Daud dan seluruh kaum Israel menari-nari di hadapan TUHAN dengan sekuat tenaga, diiringi nyanyian, kecapi, gambus, rebana, kelentung dan ceracap.
But David and all Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of wood, on harps and lutes and timbrels and cornets and cymbals.
6 Ketika mereka sampai ke tempat pengirikan Nakhon, maka Uza mengulurkan tangannya kepada tabut Allah itu, lalu memegangnya, karena lembu-lembu itu tergelincir.
And when they came to the floor of Nachon, Oza put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it: because the oxen kicked and made it lean aside.
7 Maka bangkitlah murka TUHAN terhadap Uza, lalu Allah membunuh dia di sana karena keteledorannya itu; ia mati di sana dekat tabut Allah itu.
And the indignation of the Lord was enkindled against Oza, and he struck him for his rashness: and he died there before the ark of God.
8 Daud menjadi marah, karena TUHAN telah menyambar Uza demikian hebatnya; maka tempat itu disebut orang Peres-Uza sampai sekarang.
And David was grieved because the Lord had struck Oza, and the name of that place was called: The striking of Oza, to this day.
9 Pada waktu itu Daud menjadi takut kepada TUHAN, lalu katanya: "Bagaimana tabut TUHAN itu dapat sampai kepadaku?"
And David was afraid of the Lord that day, saying: How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?
10 Sebab itu Daud tidak mau memindahkan tabut TUHAN itu ke tempatnya, ke kota Daud, tetapi Daud menyimpang dan membawanya ke rumah Obed-Edom, orang Gat itu.
And he would not have the ark of the Lord brought in to himself into the city of David: but he caused it to be carried into the house of Obededom the Gethite.
11 Tiga bulan lamanya tabut Tuhan itu tinggal di rumah Obed-Edom, orang Gat itu, dan TUHAN memberkati Obed-Edom dan seisi rumahnya.
And the ark of the Lord abode in the house of Obededom the Gethite three months: and the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household.
12 Diberitahukanlah kepada raja Daud, demikian: "TUHAN memberkati seisi rumah Obed-Edom dan segala yang ada padanya oleh karena tabut Allah itu." Lalu Daud pergi mengangkut tabut Allah itu dari rumah Obed-Edom ke kota Daud dengan sukacita.
And it was told king David, that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that he had, because of the ark of God. So David went, and brought away the ark of God out of the house of Obededom into the city of David with joy. And there were with David seven choirs, and calves for victims.
13 Apabila pengangkat-pengangkat tabut TUHAN itu melangkah maju enam langkah, maka ia mengorbankan seekor lembu dan seekor anak lembu gemukan.
And when they that carried the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a ram:
14 Dan Daud menari-nari di hadapan TUHAN dengan sekuat tenaga; ia berbaju efod dari kain lenan.
And David danced with all his might before the Lord: and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15 Daud dan seluruh orang Israel mengangkut tabut TUHAN itu dengan diiringi sorak dan bunyi sangkakala.
And David and all the house of Israel brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord with joyful shouting, and with sound of trumpet.
16 Ketika tabut TUHAN itu masuk ke kota Daud, maka Mikhal, anak perempuan Saul, menjenguk dari jendela, lalu melihat raja Daud meloncat-loncat serta menari-nari di hadapan TUHAN. Sebab itu ia memandang rendah Daud dalam hatinya.
And when the ark of the Lord was come into the city of David, Michol 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 Tabut TUHAN itu dibawa masuk, lalu diletakkan di tempatnya, di dalam kemah yang dibentangkan Daud untuk itu, kemudian Daud mempersembahkan korban bakaran dan korban keselamatan di hadapan TUHAN.
And they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it: and David offered holocausts, and peace offerings before the Lord.
18 Setelah Daud selesai mempersembahkan korban bakaran dan korban keselamatan, diberkatinyalah bangsa itu demi nama TUHAN semesta alam.
And when he had made an end of offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19 Lalu dibagikannya kepada seluruh bangsa itu, kepada seluruh khalayak ramai Israel, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan, kepada masing-masing seketul roti bundar, sekerat daging, dan sepotong kue kismis. Sesudah itu pergilah seluruh bangsa itu, masing-masing ke rumahnya.
And he distributed to all the multitude of Israel both men and women, to every one, a cake of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and fine flour fried with oil: and all the people departed every one to his house.
20 Ketika Daud pulang untuk memberi salam kepada seisi rumahnya, maka keluarlah Mikhal binti Saul mendapatkan Daud, katanya: "Betapa raja orang Israel, yang menelanjangi dirinya pada hari ini di depan mata budak-budak perempuan para hambanya, merasa dirinya terhormat pada hari ini, seperti orang hina dengan tidak malu-malu menelanjangi dirinya!"
And David returned to bless his own house: and Michol the daughter of Saul coming out to meet David, said: How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself before the handmaids of his servants, and was naked, as if one of the buffoons should be naked.
21 Tetapi berkatalah Daud kepada Mikhal: "Di hadapan TUHAN, yang telah memilih aku dengan menyisihkan ayahmu dan segenap keluarganya untuk menunjuk aku menjadi raja atas umat TUHAN, yakni atas Israel, --di hadapan TUHAN aku menari-nari,
And David said to Michol: Before the Lord, who chose me rather than thy father, and than all his house, and commanded me to be ruler over the people of the Lord in Israel,
22 bahkan aku akan menghinakan diriku lebih dari pada itu; engkau akan memandang aku rendah, tetapi bersama-sama budak-budak perempuan yang kaukatakan itu, bersama-sama merekalah aku mau dihormati."
I will both play and make myself meaner than I have done: and I will be little in my own eyes: and with the handmaid of whom thou speakest, I shall appear more glorious.
23 Mikhal binti Saul tidak mendapat anak sampai hari matinya.
Therefore Michol the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
