Ii Samuelis 6
1 congregavit autem rursum David omnes electos ex Israhel triginta milia
David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
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
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 Yahweh of Armies who sits above the cherubim.
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 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 Haio praecedebat 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 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 played before Yahweh 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 manum Oza ad arcam Dei et tenuit eam quoniam calcitrabant boves
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 iuxta arcam Dei
Yahweh’s anger burned against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by God’s ark.
8 contristatus autem est David eo quod percussisset Dominus Ozam et vocatum est nomen loci illius Percussio Oza usque in diem hanc
David was displeased because Yahweh 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 Yahweh that day; and he said, “How could Yahweh’s ark come to me?”
10 et noluit devertere ad se arcam Domini in civitate David sed devertit eam in domo Obededom Getthei
So David would not move Yahweh’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 Getthei tribus mensibus et benedixit Dominus Obededom et omnem domum eius
Yahweh’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.
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
King David was told, “Yahweh 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 Yahweh’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 Yahweh with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.
15 et David et omnis domus Israhel ducebant arcam testamenti Domini in iubilo et in clangore bucinae
So David and all the house of Israel brought up Yahweh’s ark with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.
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 Yahweh’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 Yahweh; 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
They brought in Yahweh’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 Yahweh.
18 cumque conplesset offerens holocaustum 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 Yahweh of Armies.
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
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 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
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 eius et praecepit mihi ut essem dux super populum Domini Israhel
David said to Michal, “It was before Yahweh, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of Yahweh, over Israel. Therefore I will celebrate before Yahweh.
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
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 filiae Saul non est natus filius usque ad diem mortis suae
Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
