Ii Samuelis 6
1 Congregavit autem rursum David omnes electos ex Israël, triginta millia.
David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 Surrexitque David, et abiit, et universus populus qui erat cum eo de viris Juda, ut adducerent arcam Dei, super quam invocatum est nomen Domini exercituum, sedentis in cherubim super eam.
David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale Judah, to bring up from there God’s ark, which is called by the Name, even the name of the LORD of Hosts who sits above the cherubim.
3 Et imposuerunt arcam Dei super plaustrum novum: tuleruntque eam de domo Abinadab, qui erat in Gabaa: Oza autem et Ahio, filii Abinadab, minabant plaustrum novum.
They set God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house that was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4 Cumque tulissent eam de domo Abinadab, qui erat in Gabaa, custodiens arcam Dei Ahio præcedebat arcam.
They brought it out of Abinadab’s house which was in the hill, with God’s ark; and Ahio went before the ark.
5 David autem et omnis Israël ludebant coram Domino in omnibus lignis fabrefactis, et citharis et lyris et tympanis et sistris et cymbalis.
David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD with all kinds of instruments made of cypress wood, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with castanets, and with cymbals.
6 Postquam autem venerunt ad aream Nachon, extendit Oza manum ad arcam Dei, et tenuit eam: quoniam calcitrabant boves, et declinaverunt eam.
When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached for God’s ark and took hold of it, for the cattle stumbled.
7 Iratusque est indignatione Dominus contra Ozam, et percussit eum super temeritate: qui mortuus est ibi juxta arcam Dei.
The LORD’s anger burned against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by God’s ark.
8 Contristatus est autem David, eo quod percussisset Dominus Ozam, et vocatum est nomen loci illius: Percussio Ozæ, usque in diem hanc.
David was displeased because the LORD had broken out against Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah to this day.
9 Et extimuit David Dominum in die illa, dicens: Quomodo ingredietur ad me arca Domini?
David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, “How could the LORD’s ark come to me?”
10 Et noluit divertere ad se arcam Domini in civitatem David: sed divertit eam in domum Obededom Gethæi.
So David would not move the LORD’s ark to be with him in David’s city; but David carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.
11 Et habitavit arca Domini in domo Obededom Gethæi tribus mensibus: et benedixit Dominus Obededom, et omnem domum ejus.
The LORD’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and the LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.
12 Nuntiatumque est regi David quod benedixisset Dominus Obededom, et omnia ejus, propter arcam Dei. Abiit ergo David, et adduxit arcam Dei de domo Obededom in civitatem David cum gaudio: et erant cum David septem chori, et victima vituli.
King David was told, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that belongs to him, because of God’s ark.” So David went and brought up God’s ark from the house of Obed-Edom into David’s city with joy.
13 Cumque transcendissent qui portabant arcam Domini sex passus, immolabat bovem et arietem,
When those who bore the LORD’s ark had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
14 et David saltabat totis viribus ante Dominum: porro David erat accinctus ephod lineo.
David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.
15 Et David et omnis domus Israël ducebant arcam testamenti Domini in jubilo, et in clangore buccinæ.
So David and all the house of Israel brought up the LORD’s ark with shouting and with the sound of the shofar.
16 Cumque intrasset arca Domini in civitatem David, Michol filia Saul, prospiciens per fenestram, vidit regem David subsilientem atque saltantem coram Domino: et despexit eum in corde suo.
As the LORD’s ark came into David’s city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out through the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
17 Et introduxerunt arcam Domini, et imposuerunt eam in loco suo in medio tabernaculi, quod tetenderat ei David: et obtulit David holocausta et pacifica coram Domino.
They brought in the LORD’s ark, and set it in its place in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
18 Cumque complesset offerens holocausta et pacifica, benedixit populo in nomine Domini exercituum.
When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Hosts.
19 Et partitus est universæ multitudini Israël tam viro quam mulieri singulis collyridam panis unam, et assaturam bubulæ carnis unam, et similam frixam oleo: et abiit omnis populus, unusquisque in domum suam.
He gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, dates, and raisins. So all the people departed, each to his own house.
20 Reversusque est David ut benediceret domui suæ: et egressa Michol filia Saul in occursum David, ait: Quam gloriosus fuit hodie rex Israël discooperiens se ante ancillas servorum suorum, et nudatus est, quasi si nudetur unus de scurris.
Then David returned to bless his household. Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”
21 Dixitque David ad Michol: Ante Dominum, qui elegit me potius quam patrem tuum et quam omnem domum ejus, et præcepit mihi ut essem dux super populum Domini in Israël
David said to Michal, “It was before the LORD, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of the LORD, over Israel. Therefore I will celebrate before the LORD.
22 et Judam, et vilior fiam plus quam factus sum: et ero humilis in oculis meis, et cum ancillis de quibus locuta es, gloriosior apparebo.
I will be yet more undignified than this, and will be worthless in my own sight. But the maids of whom you have spoken will honor me.”
23 Igitur Michol filiæ Saul non est natus filius usque in diem mortis suæ.
Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
