2 Samwiri 6
1 Dawudi n’akuŋŋaanya nate abasajja abaawera emitwalo esatu be yalonda mu Isirayiri.
And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 N’agolokoka n’agenda n’abantu bonna abaali naye, okuva e Baale, Yuda, okuggyayo essanduuko ya Katonda eyitibwa Erinnya lya Mukama ow’Eggye atuula ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka wakati wa bakerubi.
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 Ne bateeka essanduuko ya Katonda ku ggaali empya ne bagiggya mu nnyumba ya Abinadaabu eyali ku lusozi, Uzza ne Akiyo batabani be ne bagikulembera
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 ng’essanduuko ya Katonda kweri, Akiyo ng’agikulembeddemu.
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 Dawudi n’ennyumba yonna eya Isirayiri ne bajaguliza mu maaso ga Mukama n’amaanyi gaabwe gonna, nga bayimba ennyimba nga bakuba ennanga, n’entongooli, n’ebitaasa, n’ensaasi, n’ebirala.
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 Awo bwe baatuuka mu gguuliro lya Nakoni, ente bwe zeesittala, Uzza n’agolola omukono gwe n’akwata ku ssanduuko ya Katonda.
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 Obusungu bwa Mukama ne bubuubuukira ku Uzza olw’ekikolwa ekyo, Katonda n’amuttira awo okumpi n’essanduuko ya Katonda.
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 Awo Dawudi n’anyiiga kubanga obusungu bwa Mukama bwagwa ku Uzza, n’atuuma ekifo ekyo Peruzuzza, ne leero.
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 Olunaku olwo Dawudi n’atya Mukama, n’ayogera nti, “Essanduuko ya Mukama eyinza etya okuleetebwa gye ndi?”
And David was afraid of the Lord that day, saying: How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?
10 Dawudi n’atayagala kutwala ssanduuko ya Mukama mu kibuga kya Dawudi, era n’asalawo okugitwala mu nnyumba ya Obededomu Omugitti.
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 Essanduuko ya Mukama n’ebeera mu nnyumba ya Obededomu Omugitti emyezi esatu, era Mukama n’amuwa omukisa ye n’ennyumba ye yonna.
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 Awo Dawudi n’ategeezebwa nti, “Ennyumba ya Obededomu n’ebintu bye byonna biweereddwa omukisa olw’essanduuko ya Katonda.” Dawudi n’agenda n’aggyayo essanduuko ya Katonda mu nnyumba ya Obededomu n’agireeta mu kibuga kya Dawudi ng’ajaguza.
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 Abaasitula essanduuko ya Mukama bwe baatambula ebigere mukaaga n’awaayo ente ennume n’ennyana ensava nga ssaddaaka.
And when they that carried the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a ram:
14 Dawudi ng’ayambadde olugoye olwa linena, n’azinira mu maaso ga Mukama n’amaanyi ge gonna.
And David danced with all his might before the Lord: and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15 Dawudi n’ennyumba ya Isirayiri yonna ne baleeta essanduuko ya Mukama nga boogerera waggulu, era nga bafuuwa n’amakondeere.
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 Awo essanduuko ya Mukama bwe yali ng’ereetebwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi, Mikali muwala wa Sawulo, ng’ali mu ddirisa, n’alengera kabaka Dawudi ng’abuuka, ng’azinira mu maaso ga Mukama, n’amunyooma.
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 Ne baleeta essanduuko ya Mukama ne bagiteeka mu kifo kyayo mu weema Dawudi gye yali agisimbidde, Dawudi n’awaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, mu maaso ga Mukama.
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 Awo Dawudi bwe yamala okuwaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, n’asabira abantu omukisa mu linnya lya Mukama ow’eggye,
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 buli muntu n’amugabula omugaati, n’ekiyungula ky’ennyama, n’ekitole eky’ezabbibu enkalu, abasajja n’abakyala. N’oluvannyuma abantu bonna ne baddayo ewaabwe.
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 Dawudi n’addayo ewuwe okusabira ab’omu nnyumba ye omukisa, Mikali muwala wa Sawulo n’agenda okumusisinkana n’ayogera nti, “Kabaka wa Isirayiri ayinza atya okweswaza bw’atyo, ne yeyambulira mu maaso g’abawala abaweereza n’abaddu ng’omuntu atalina nsonyi?”
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 Awo Dawudi n’agamba Mikali nti, “Nakikoledde mu maaso ga Mukama eyannonda okusinga kitaawo, n’ennyumba ye yonna okuba omukulembeze w’abantu ba Mukama, Isirayiri, era nzija kujagulizanga mu maaso ga Mukama.
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 Nzija kweyongerera ddala okweswaza, era sijja kuswala mu maaso gange, naye mu maaso g’abawala abaweereza b’oyogeddeko, nnaasibwangamu ekitiibwa.”
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 Awo muwala wa Sawulo Mikali, n’abeera mugumba okutuusa olunaku lwe yafa.
Therefore Michol the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
