< 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, from Baale Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, which is called by the Name, even the name of the LORD of hosts that sitteth upon the cherubim.
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 set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in the hill: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.
4 ng’essanduuko ya Katonda kweri, Akiyo ng’agikulembeddemu.
And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in the hill, with the ark of God: and Ahio 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.
And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD with all manner of [instruments made of] fir wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with castanets, and with 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 threshing-floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen stumbled.
7 Obusungu bwa Mukama ne bubuubuukira ku Uzza olw’ekikolwa ekyo, Katonda n’amuttira awo okumpi n’essanduuko ya Katonda.
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by 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 displeased, because the LORD had broken forth upon Uzzah: and he called that place Perez-uzzah, unto 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; and he said, How shall the ark of the LORD come unto me?
10 Dawudi n’atayagala kutwala ssanduuko ya Mukama mu kibuga kya Dawudi, era n’asalawo okugitwala mu nnyumba ya Obededomu Omugitti.
So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
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 remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obed-edom, and all his house.
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, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth to him, because of the ark of God. And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with joy.
13 Abaasitula essanduuko ya Mukama bwe baatambula ebigere mukaaga n’awaayo ente ennume n’ennyana ensava nga ssaddaaka.
And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.
14 Dawudi ng’ayambadde olugoye olwa linena, n’azinira mu maaso ga Mukama n’amaanyi ge gonna.
And David danced before the LORD with all his might; 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.
So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the 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 it was so, as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and 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 in the ark of the LORD, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings 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 David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the 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 dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a portion [of flesh], and a cake of raisins. So 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?”
Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!
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 unto Michal, [It was] before the LORD, which chose me above thy father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.
22 Nzija kweyongerera ddala okweswaza, era sijja kuswala mu maaso gange, naye mu maaso g’abawala abaweereza b’oyogeddeko, nnaasibwangamu ekitiibwa.”
And I will be yet more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: but of the handmaids which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.
23 Awo muwala wa Sawulo Mikali, n’abeera mugumba okutuusa olunaku lwe yafa.
And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
