Ii Samuelis 6

1 congregavit autem rursum David omnes electos ex Israhel triginta milia

David again assembled the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand in all.

2 surrexitque et abiit et universus populus qui erat cum eo de viris Iuda ut adducerent arcam Dei super quam invocatum est nomen Domini exercituum sedentis in cherubin super eam

And he and all his troops set out for Baale of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name— the name of the LORD of Hosts, who is enthroned between the cherubim that are on it.

3 et inposuerunt arcam Domini super plaustrum novum tuleruntque eam de domo Abinadab qui erat in Gabaa Oza autem et Haio filii Abinadab minabant plaustrum novum

They set the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart,

4 cumque tulissent eam de domo Abinadab qui erat in Gabaa custodiens arcam Dei Haio praecedebat arcam

bringing with it the ark of God. And Ahio was walking in front of the ark.

5 David autem et omnis Israhel ludebant coram Domino in omnibus lignis fabrefactis et citharis et lyris et tympanis et sistris et cymbalis

David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the LORD with all kinds of wood instruments, harps, stringed instruments, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals.

6 postquam autem venerunt ad aream Nachon extendit manum Oza ad arcam Dei et tenuit eam quoniam calcitrabant boves

When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen had stumbled.

7 iratusque est indignatione Dominus contra Ozam et percussit eum super temeritate qui mortuus est ibi iuxta arcam Dei

And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and God struck him down on the spot for his irreverence, and he died there beside the ark of God.

8 contristatus autem est David eo quod percussisset Dominus Ozam et vocatum est nomen loci illius Percussio Oza usque in diem hanc

Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah; so he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.

9 et extimuit David Dominum in die illa dicens quomodo ingredietur ad me arca Domini

That day David feared the LORD and asked, “How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?”

10 et noluit devertere ad se arcam Domini in civitate David sed devertit eam in domo Obededom Getthei

So he was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

11 et habitavit arca Domini in domo Obededom Getthei tribus mensibus et benedixit Dominus Obededom et omnem domum eius

Thus the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the LORD blessed him and all his household.

12 nuntiatumque est regi David benedixit Dominus Obededom et omnia eius propter arcam Dei abiit ergo David et adduxit arcam Dei de domo Obededom in civitatem David cum gaudio

Now it was reported to King David, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and had the ark of God brought up from the house of Obed-edom into the City of David with rejoicing.

13 cumque transcendissent qui portabant arcam Domini sex passus immolabat bovem et arietem

When those carrying the ark of the LORD had advanced six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.

14 et David saltabat totis viribus ante Dominum porro David erat accinctus ephod lineo

And David, wearing a linen ephod, danced with all his might before the LORD,

15 et David et omnis domus Israhel ducebant arcam testamenti Domini in iubilo et in clangore bucinae

while he and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and the sounding of the ram’s horn.

16 cumque intrasset arca Domini civitatem David Michol filia Saul prospiciens per fenestram vidit regem David subsilientem atque saltantem coram Domino et despexit eum in corde suo

As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from a window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, and she despised him in her heart.

17 et introduxerunt arcam Domini et posuerunt eam in loco suo in medio tabernaculi quod tetenderat ei David et obtulit David holocausta coram Domino et pacifica

So they brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

18 cumque conplesset offerens holocaustum et pacifica benedixit populo in nomine Domini exercituum

When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Hosts.

19 et partitus est multitudini universae Israhel tam viro quam mulieri singulis collyridam panis unam et assaturam bubulae carnis unam et similam frixam oleo et abiit omnis populus unusquisque in domum suam

Then he distributed to every man and woman among the multitude of Israel a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. And all the people departed, each for his own home.

20 reversusque est et David ut benediceret domui suae et egressa Michol filia Saul in occursum David ait quam gloriosus fuit hodie rex Israhel discoperiens se ante ancillas servorum suorum et nudatus est quasi si nudetur unus de scurris

As soon as David returned home to bless his own household, Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today!” she said. “He has uncovered himself today in the sight of the maidservants of his subjects, like a vulgar person would do.”

21 dixitque David ad Michol ante Dominum qui elegit me potius quam patrem tuum et quam omnem domum eius et praecepit mihi ut essem dux super populum Domini Israhel

But David said to Michal, “I was dancing before the LORD, who chose me over your father and all his house when He appointed me ruler over the LORD’s people Israel. I will celebrate before the LORD,

22 et ludam et vilior fiam plus quam factus sum et ero humilis in oculis meis et cum ancillis de quibus locuta es gloriosior apparebo

and I will humiliate and humble myself even more than this. Yet I will be honored by the maidservants of whom you have spoken.”

23 igitur Michol filiae Saul non est natus filius usque ad diem mortis suae

And Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
