2 Hamuera 6

1 Na ka huihuia ano e Rawiri te hunga whiriwhiri katoa o Iharaira e toru tekau mano.

And David again gathered all the young men of Israel, about seventy thousand.

2 A ka whakatika a Rawiri ratou ko tona nuinga katoa, haere ana i Paare o Hura, tikina ana i reira te aaka a Ihowa, e huaina nei ki te Ingoa, ara ki te ingoa o Ihowa o nga mano, e noho nei i waenganui o nga kerupima.

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 Na ka whakanohoia e ratou te aaka a te Atua ki runga ki te kata hou, a mauria ana i te whare o Apinarapa i Kipea; a na Uha raua ko Ahio, na nga tama a Apinarapa, i arahi te kata hou.

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 Na kawea ana i te whare o Apinarapa i Kipea, me te haere tahi ano ratou ko te aaka a te Atua; i haere ano a Ahio i mua i te aaka.

And his brethren went before the ark.

5 Na ka takaro a Rawiri ratou ko te whare katoa o Iharaira ki te aroaro o Ihowa, me te whakatangi ano i a ratou mea katoa he kauri nei te rakau, i nga hapa, i nga hatere, i nga timipera, i nga koronete, i nga himipora.

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 A ka tae ki te patunga witi a Nakono, ka totoro a Uha ki te aaka a te Atua, a puritia ana e ia; i paheke hoki nga kau.

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 Na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Uha, a patua iho ia i reira e te Atua mo tona he, a mate ake i reira i te taha o te aaka a te Atua.

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 Na ka pouri a Rawiri mo ta Ihowa tukitukinga i a Uha; na huaina ana taua wahi e ia, ko Pereteuha; koia ano tena inaianei.

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 Na ka wehi a Rawiri i a Ihowa i taua ra, ka mea, Ma te aha e tae ake ai te aaka a Ihowa ki ahau.

And David feared the Lord in that day, saying, How shall the ark of the Lord come in to me?

10 Heoi kihai a Rawiri i pai ki te tango i te aaka a Ihowa ki a ia, ki te pa o Rawiri; na kawea ketia ana e Rawiri ki te whare o Opereeroma Kiti.

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 E toru nga marama i noho ai te aaka a Ihowa ki te whare o Opereeroma Kiti: a ka manaakitia e Ihowa a Opereeroma ratou ko tona whare katoa.

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 A ka korerotia te korero ki a Kingi Rawiri, Kua manaakitia e Ihowa te whare o Opereeroma me ana mea katoa, he whakaaro ki te aaka a te Atua. Na ka haere a Rawiri, a kawea ana e ia te aaka a te Atua, i te whare o Opereeroma ki runga, ki te pa o R awiri, me te koa ano ia.

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 A ka ono nga hikoinga i hokoi ai nga kaiamo i te aaka a Ihowa, na ka patua e ia etahi kau me tetahi mea momona.

And there were with him bearing the ark seven bands, and for a sacrifice a calf and lambs.

14 Na ka whakapaua katoatia tona kaha e Rawiri ki te kanikani ki te aroaro o Ihowa: i whitikiria ano he epora rinena ki a Rawiri.

And David sounded with well-tuned instruments before the Lord, and David [was] clothed with a fine long robe.

15 Heoi ka kawea te aaka a Ihowa e Rawiri ratou ko te whare katoa o Iharaira, me te hamama ano ratou, me te tangi ano te tetere.

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 A, i te taenga o te aaka a Ihowa ki te pa o Rawiri, na ka titiro a Mikara, tamahine a Haora na te matapihi, a ka kite i a Kingi Rawiri e tupekepeke ana, e kanikani ana i te aroaro o Ihowa; a whakahawea ana ia ki a ia i roto i tona ngakau.

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 Na ka kawea e ratou te aaka a Ihowa, a whakaturia ana ki tona wahi, ki waenganui o te tapenakara i whakaarahia e Rawiri mona: na ka tapaea e Rawiri etahi tahunga tinana ki te aroaro o Ihowa, me etahi whakahere mo te pai.

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 A, no ka mutu ta Rawiri tapae i nga tahunga tinana, i nga whakahere mo te pai, ka manaakitia e ia te iwi i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa o nga mano.

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 I tuwhaina ano e ia ma te iwi katoa, ma te huihui katoa o Iharaira, ma te tane, ma te wahine, kotahi keke taro ma tenei, ma tenei, me tetahi wahi kikokiko, me tetahi keke karepe maroke. Na haere ana te iwi katoa ki tona whare, ki tona whare.

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 Katahi a Rawiri ka hoki ki te manaaki i tona whare. A ka puta a Mikara, tamahine a Haora ki te whakatau i a Rawiri, a ka mea, Ano te kororia o te kingi o Iharaira inaianei, i whakakite kirikau nei i a ia inakuanei ki nga kanohi o nga pononga wah ine a ana tangata, pera i tetahi o te hunga wairangi e whakakite nui ana i a ia!

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 Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Mikara, I te aroaro ra o Ihowa, i whiriwhiri nei i ahau, i kape nei i tou papa, me tona whare katoa, i whakarite hoki a ahau hei rangatira mo te iwi a Ihowa, mo Iharaira; koia ahau ka takaro ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

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 Na ka nui atu ano i tenei toku wairangi, a ka iti iho ahau ki taku titiro; ko nga pononga wahine ia i kiia mai na e koe, ka whakahonoretia ahau e ratou.

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 Na kahore he tamariki a Mikara tamahine a Haora a taea noatia te ra i mate ai ia.

And Melchol the daughter of Saul had no child till the day of her death.
