< 2 Samuel 6 >
1 Daud mengumpulkan pula semua orang pilihan di antara orang Israel, tiga puluh ribu orang banyaknya.
Then David chose 30,000 Israeli men and gathered them together.
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.
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 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.
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 Uza berjalan di samping tabut Allah itu, sedang Ahyo berjalan di depan tabut itu.
Uzzah walked alongside the cart, and Ahio walked in front of it.
5 Daud dan seluruh kaum Israel menari-nari di hadapan TUHAN dengan sekuat tenaga, diiringi nyanyian, kecapi, gambus, rebana, kelentung dan ceracap.
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 Ketika mereka sampai ke tempat pengirikan Nakhon, maka Uza mengulurkan tangannya kepada tabut Allah itu, lalu memegangnya, karena lembu-lembu itu tergelincir.
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 Maka bangkitlah murka TUHAN terhadap Uza, lalu Allah membunuh dia di sana karena keteledorannya itu; ia mati di sana dekat tabut Allah itu.
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 Daud menjadi marah, karena TUHAN telah menyambar Uza demikian hebatnya; maka tempat itu disebut orang Peres-Uza sampai sekarang.
David was angry because Yahweh had punished Uzzah. So ever since that time, that place has been called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
9 Pada waktu itu Daud menjadi takut kepada TUHAN, lalu katanya: "Bagaimana tabut TUHAN itu dapat sampai kepadaku?"
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 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.
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 Tiga bulan lamanya tabut Tuhan itu tinggal di rumah Obed-Edom, orang Gat itu, dan TUHAN memberkati Obed-Edom dan seisi rumahnya.
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 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.
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 Apabila pengangkat-pengangkat tabut TUHAN itu melangkah maju enam langkah, maka ia mengorbankan seekor lembu dan seekor anak lembu gemukan.
[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 Dan Daud menari-nari di hadapan TUHAN dengan sekuat tenaga; ia berbaju efod dari kain lenan.
David was wearing [only] a linen cloth wrapped around his waist, and was dancing very energetically to honor Yahweh.
15 Daud dan seluruh orang Israel mengangkut tabut TUHAN itu dengan diiringi sorak dan bunyi sangkakala.
David and the Israeli men took the sacred chest up [to Jerusalem], shouting [loudly] and blowing trumpets.
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.
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 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.
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 Setelah Daud selesai mempersembahkan korban bakaran dan korban keselamatan, diberkatinyalah bangsa itu demi nama TUHAN semesta alam.
When David had finished offering those sacrifices, he asked Yahweh, the Commander of the armies [of the angels], to bless the people.
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.
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 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!"
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 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,
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 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."
[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 Mikhal binti Saul tidak mendapat anak sampai hari matinya.
[As a result, ] Saul’s daughter Michal never gave birth to any children.
