< 2 Samoela 6 >

1 Ary novorin’ i Davida indray ny lehilahy voafantina rehetra tamin’ ny Isiraely, dia telo alina.
And David again gathered all the young men of Israel, about seventy thousand.
2 Dia niainga Davida sy ny olona rehetra izay nanaraka azy ka niala tany Bala-joda hampakatra ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra izay niantsoana ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Izay mipetraka amin’ ny kerobima.
And David arose, and went, he and all the people that were with him, and some of the rulers of Juda, on an expedition [to a distant place], to bring back thence the ark of God, on which the name of the Lord of Host who dwells between the cherubs upon it is called.
3 Ary nataony teo amin’ ny sariety vaovao ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra ka nentiny avy tao an-tranon’ i Abinadaba teo an-kavoana; ary Oza sy Ahio, zanak’ i Abinadaba, no nampandeha ny sariety vaovao.
And they put the ark of the Lord on a new waggon, and took it out of the house of Aminadab who lived on the hill, and Oza and his brethren the sons of Aminadab drove the waggon with the ark.
4 Ary dia nentiny niala tao an-tranon’ i Abinadaba teo ankavoana niaraka tamin’ ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra izany; ary Ahio nandeha teo alohan’ ny fiara.
And his brethren went before the ark.
5 Ary Davida sy ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra nitsinjaka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny karazan’ ny zava-maneno rehetra natao tamin’ ny hazo kypreso, dia tamin’ ny lokanga sy ny valiha sy ny ampongatapaka sy ny korintsana ary ny kipantsona.
And David and the children of Israel [were] playing before the Lord on well-tuned instruments mightily, and with songs, and with harps, and with lutes, and with drums, and with cymbals, and with pipes.
6 Ary nony tonga teo amin’ ny famoloan’ i Nakona izy, dia naninjitra ny tanany tamin’ ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra Oza ka nihazona azy, satria nazeran’ ny omby ny fiara.
And they come as far as the threshing floor of Nachor: and Oza reached forth his hand to the ark of God to keep it steady, and took hold of it; for the ox shook it out of its place.
7 Dia nirehitra tamin’ i Oza ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah; ary namely azy teo Andriamanitra noho ny fahadisoany, ka dia maty teo anilan’ ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra izy.
And the Lord was very angry with Oza; and God smote him there: and he died there by the ark of the Lord before God.
8 Ary dia tezitra Davida noho ny namelezan’ i Jehovah an’ i Oza, ka dia nataony hoe Perez-oza ny anaran’ izany tany izany mandraka androany.
And David was dispirited because the Lord made a breach upon Oza; and that place was called the breach of Oza until this day.
9 Ary Davida natahotra an’ i Jehovah tamin’ izany andro izany ka nanao hoe: Nahoana no ho entina atỳ amiko ny fiaran’ i Jehovah?
And David feared the Lord in that day, saying, How shall the ark of the Lord come in to me?
10 Ary Davida dia tsy nety namindra ny fiaran’ i Jehovah ho ao aminy ao an-Tanànan’ i Davida; fa naviliny ho ao an-tranon’ i Obed-edoma Gatita.
And David would not bring in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to himself into the city of David: and David turned it aside into the house of Abeddara the Gethite.
11 Ary nipetraka telo volana tao an-tranon’ i Obed-edoma Gatita ny fiaran’ i Jehovah; ka dia notahin’ i Jehovah Obed-edoma sy ny ankohonany rehetra.
And the ark of the Lord lodged in the house of Abeddara the Gethite three months, and the Lord blessed all the house of Abeddara, and all his possessions.
12 Ary nambara tamin’ i Davida mpanjaka hoe: Jehovah efa nitahy ny ankohonan’ i Obed-edoma sy izay nananany rehetra noho ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra. Dia nandeha Davida ka nampakatra ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra tamim-pifaliana avy tao an-tranon’ i Obed-edoma ho any an-Tanànan’ i Davida.
And it was reported to king David, saying, The Lord has blessed the house of Abeddara, and all that he has, because of the ark of the Lord. And David went, and brought up the Ark of the Lord from the house of Abeddara to the city of David with gladness.
13 Ary rehefa namindra inenina ny mpitondra ny fiaran’ i Jehovah, dia namono omby sy zanak’ omby mifahy izy hatao fanatitra.
And there were with him bearing the ark seven bands, and for a sacrifice a calf and lambs.
14 Ary Davida nitsinjaka mafy dia mafy teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah sady nisalotra efoda rongony fotsy.
And David sounded with well-tuned instruments before the Lord, and David [was] clothed with a fine long robe.
15 Ary Davida sy ny taranak’ i Isiraely rehetra nampakatra ny fiaran’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny hoby sy ny feon’ ny anjomara.
And David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of a trumpet.
16 Ary nony tonga teo an-Tanànan’ i Davida ny fiaran’ i Jehovah, dia nitsirika teo am-baravarankely Mikala, zanakavavin’ i Saoly, ka nahita an’ i Davida mpanjaka nibitaka sy nitsinjaka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; ka dia nikizaka azy tao am-pony izy.
And it came to pass as the ark arrived at the city of David, that Melchol the daughter of Saul looked through the window, and saw king David dancing and playing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.
17 Ary nampiditra ny fiaran’ i Jehovah ny olona ka nametraka azy teo amin’ ny fitoerany tao amin’ ny lay izay naorin’ i Davida hitoerany; ary Davida nanatitra fanatitra dorana sy fanati-pihavanana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
And they bring the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle which David pitched for it: and David offered whole-burnt-offerings before the Lord, [and] peace-offerings.
18 Ary nony voatitr’ i Davida ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanati-pihavanana, dia nitso-drano ny vahoaka tamin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, izy.
And David made an end of offering the whole-burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and blessed the people in the name of the Lord of Hosts.
19 Dia nomeny mofo iray sy hena iray didy ary ampempam-boaloboka iray avy ny olona rehetra, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, na lahy na vavy. Ary dia samy nody tany an-tranony avy ny olona rehetra.
And he distributed to all the people, even to all the host of Israel from Dan to Bersabee, both men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a joint of meat, and a cake from the frying-pan: and all the people departed every one to his home.
20 Ary Davida koa mba nody hitso-drano ny ankohonany. Fa Mikala, zanakavavin’ i Saoly, nivoaka hitsena an’ i Davida ka nanao hoe: Akory ity voninahitry ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely androany! ilay nanary lamba anikeheo teo imason’ ny zanakavavin’ ny mpanompony, tahaka ny adala manary lamba ka tsy manan-kenatra.
And David returned to bless his house. And Melchol the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and saluted him, and said, How was the king of Israel glorified to-day, who was to-day uncovered in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the dancers wantonly uncovers himself!
21 Ary hoy kosa Davida tamin’ i Mikala: Teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, Izay nifidy ahy noho ny rainao sy ny ankohonany rehetra ka nanendry ahy ho mpanapaka ny Isiraely, olon’ i Jehovah, eny, teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah no nitsinjahako.
And David said to Melchol, I will dance before the Lord. Blessed [be] the Lord who chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to make me head over his people, even over Israel: therefore I will play, and dance before the Lord.
22 Ary mbola hivazina kokoa noho izany aza aho, ka hataoko tsinontsinona ny tenako; nefa hiaraka hanam-boninahitra amin’ ireo tovovavy nantsoinao ireo kosa aho.
And I will again uncover myself thus, and I will be vile in thine eyes, and with the maid-servants by whom thou saidst that I was not had in honour.
23 Ka dia tsy nanan-janaka intsony mandra-pahafatiny Mikala, zanakavavin’ i Saoly.
And Melchol the daughter of Saul had no child till the day of her death.
