२ शमूएल 6

1 दाऊदले फेरि पनि इस्राएलका चुनिएका सबै तिस हजार मानिसलाई एकसाथ भेला पारे ।

David again assembled the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand in all.

2 दाऊद उठे र यहूदाको बालाबाट पमरप्रभुको सन्दुक ल्याउनलाई आफूसँग भएका सबै मानिसलाई साथमा लिएर गए, जसलाई सर्वशकक्‍तिमान् परमप्रभुको नाउँद्वारा पुकारा गरिन्‍छ जो करूबहरूमाथि विराजमान हुनुहुन्छ ।

And he and all his troops set out for Baale of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name— the name of the LORD of Hosts, who is enthroned between the cherubim that are on it.

3 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको सन्दुकलाई एउटा नयाँ गाडामा राखे । तिनीहरूले यसलाई अबीनादाबको घरबाट बाहिर ल्याए, जुन डाँडामाथि थियो । तिनका छोराहरू उज्‍जाह र अहियोले त्‍यो नयाँ गाडालाई ठेल्‍दै थिए ।

They set the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart,

4 तिनीहरूले परमेश्‍वरको सन्दुकसहितको गाडालाई डाँडामा भएको अबीनादाको घरबाट बाहिर ल्याए । अहियो सन्दुकको अगिअगि हिंडिरहेका थिए ।

bringing with it the ark of God. And Ahio was walking in front of the ark.

5 तब दाऊद र इस्राएलका सबै घरानाले परमप्रभुको सामु काठका साधनहरू, वीणा, सारङ्गी, खैंजडीहरू, मृदङ्ग र झ्यालीहरू बजाउँदै उत्सव मनाउन थाले ।

David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the LORD with all kinds of wood instruments, harps, stringed instruments, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals.

6 जब तिनीहरू नाकोनको खलामा आइपुगे, तब गोरुहरूले ठेस खाए, र उज्‍जाहले परमेश्‍वरको सन्दुक समात्‍नलाई आफ्‍नो हात पसारे र तिनले त्‍यो समाते ।

When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen had stumbled.

7 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुको रिस उज्‍जाहको विरुद्ध दन्कियो । तिनको पापको कारणले परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई त्यहाँ आक्रमण गर्नुभयो । उज्‍जाह त्यहाँ नै परमेश्‍वरको सन्दुकनेर मरे ।

And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and God struck him down on the spot for his irreverence, and he died there beside the ark of God.

8 दाऊद रिसाए, किनभने परमप्रभुले उज्‍जाहलाई आक्रमण गर्नुभएको थियो र तिनले त्यस ठाउँलाई फारेस-उज्‍जाह भने । त्यस ठाउँलाई आज पनि फारेस-उज्‍जाह नै भनिन्छ ।

Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah; so he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.

9 दाऊद त्यस दिन परमप्रभुसँग डराएका थिए । तिनले भने, “परमप्रभुको सन्दुक मकहाँ कसरी आउन सक्छ?”

That day David feared the LORD and asked, “How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?”

10 त्यसैले दाऊदले परमप्रभुको सन्दुकलाई दाऊदको सहरमा लान तत्पर भएनन् । बरु, तिनले यसलाई गित्ती ओबेद-एदोमको घरमा राखे ।

So he was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

11 पमरप्रभुको सन्दुक गित्ती ओबेद-एदोमको घरमा तीन महिनासम्म रह्यो । त्यसैले परमप्रभुले तिनलाई र तिनका सबै घरानालाई आशिष् दिनुभयो ।

Thus the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the LORD blessed him and all his household.

12 अब दाऊद राजालाई भनियो, “परमेश्‍वरको सन्दुकको कारणले परमप्रभुले एदोमको घर र तिनीसँग भएका हरेक कुरामा आशिष् दिनुभएको छ ।” त्यसैले दाऊद गए र तिनले परमेश्‍वरको सन्दुकलाई एदोमको घरबाट दाऊदको सहरमा आनन्द साथ ल्याए ।

Now it was reported to King David, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and had the ark of God brought up from the house of Obed-edom into the City of David with rejoicing.

13 जब परमप्रभुको सन्दुक बोक्‍नेहरू छ कदम अगि बढ्‍थे, तब तिनले एउटा साँढे र एउटा पोसेको बाछो बलि चढाउँथे ।

When those carrying the ark of the LORD had advanced six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.

14 पमरप्रभुको सामु आफ्‍नो सारा शक्ति लगाएर दाऊद नाचे । तिनले सूतीको एपोद मात्र लगाएका थिए ।

And David, wearing a linen ephod, danced with all his might before the LORD,

15 यसरी दाऊद र इस्राएलका सबै घरानाले परमप्रभुको सन्दुक रमाहट गर्दै र तुरही बजाउँदै लिएर आए ।

while he and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and the sounding of the ram’s horn.

16 अब जब परमप्रभुको सन्दुक दाऊदको सहरमा आयो, तब शाऊलकी छोरी मीकलले झ्यालबाट बाहिर हेरिन् । परमप्रभुको सामु दाऊद राजा उफ्रँदै र नाँच्दै गरेको तिनले देखिन् । तब आफ्‍नो हृदयमा तिनले उनलाई घृणा गरिन् ।

As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from a window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, and she despised him in her heart.

17 तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको सन्दुक ल्याए र त्‍यसको निम्‍ति दाऊदले तयार पारेका बिचको पालमा त्‍यसको आफ्नै ठाउँमा त्‍यो राखे । तब दाऊदले परमप्रभुको सामु होमबलि र मेलबलिहरू चढाए ।

So they brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

18 जब दाऊदले होमबलि र मेलबलिहरू चढाएर सिद्ध्याए, तिनले मानिसहरूलाई सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको नाउँमा आशिष् दिए ।

When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Hosts.

19 त्यसपछि तिनले सबै मानिसका माझमा, सम्पूर्ण इस्राएलको भिडलाई पुरुष र महिला दुवैलाई एउटा रोटी, एक डल्लो खजूर र एक झुप्पा किसमिस बाँडिदिए । अनि सबै मानिस विदा भए । प्रत्‍येक व्‍यक्‍ति उसको आफ्‍नै घरमा फर्कियो ।

Then he distributed to every man and woman among the multitude of Israel a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. And all the people departed, each for his own home.

20 त्यसपछि दाऊद आफ्‍नो परिवारलाई आशिष् दिन फर्केर गए । शऊलकी छोरी मीकल दाऊदलाई भेट्न आइन् र भनिन्, “इस्राएलको राजाको आज कति ठुलो इज्‍जत भएको, जसले आफ्नो सेविकाहरू र सेवकहरूको माझ निर्लज्‍ज रूपमा आफूलाई निवर्वस्‍त्र पार्ने कुपात्रले झैं आफैलाई निर्वस्‍त्र तुल्याए ।”

As soon as David returned home to bless his own household, Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today!” she said. “He has uncovered himself today in the sight of the maidservants of his subjects, like a vulgar person would do.”

21 दाऊदले मीकललाई जवाफ दिए, “त्यो मैले परमप्रभुको सामु गरें, जसले मलाई तिम्रा बुबा र तिनका सबै परिवारमाथि चुन्‍नुभयो, जसले मलाई परमप्रभुका मानिसहरू इस्राएलमाथि अगुवा चुन्‍नुभयो । परमप्रभुको सामु म आनन्दित हुने छु ।

But David said to Michal, “I was dancing before the LORD, who chose me over your father and all his house when He appointed me ruler over the LORD’s people Israel. I will celebrate before the LORD,

22 म योभन्दा अझ धेरै अप्रतिष्ठित हुने छु र म मेरै आँखामा अपमानिस हुने छु । तर तिमीले भनेकी यी सेविकाहरूद्वारा नै मेरो इज्‍जत गरिने छ ।”

and I will humiliate and humble myself even more than this. Yet I will be honored by the maidservants of whom you have spoken.”

23 त्यसैले शाऊलकी छोरी मीकलको मृत्युको दिनसम्म पनि कुनै सन्तान भएन ।

And Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
