२ शमूएल 6
1 दाऊदले फेरि पनि इस्राएलका चुनिएका सबै तिस हजार मानिसलाई एकसाथ भेला पारे ।
Then David chose 30,000 Israeli men and gathered them together.
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 ।
He led them to the place in Judah [formerly] called Baalah, [now called Kiriath-Jearim]. They went in order to bring from there [to Jerusalem] the sacred chest, which had the name of Yahweh, the leader of the armies of [the angels in] heaven, written on it, and which had the [statues of the] winged creatures on top of it. Between those statues was where Yahweh spoke messages about ruling his people [MTY].
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 ।
The sacred chest was in the house of Abinadab, on top of a hill. They went there, and they put the chest on a new cart. Uzzah and Ahio, the two sons of Abinadab, were guiding [the oxen that were pulling the cart].
4 तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको सन्दुकसहितको गाडालाई डाँडामा भएको अबीनादाको घरबाट बाहिर ल्याए । अहियो सन्दुकको अगिअगि हिंडिरहेका थिए ।
Uzzah walked alongside the cart, and Ahio walked in front of it.
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 Israeli men were celebrating in God’s presence, singing with all their strength and [playing] lyres and harps, and beating tambourines, and clashing castanets and cymbals.
6 जब तिनीहरू नाकोनको खलामा आइपुगे, तब गोरुहरूले ठेस खाए, र उज्जाहले परमेश्वरको सन्दुक समात्नलाई आफ्नो हात पसारे र तिनले त्यो समाते ।
But when they came to the place where Nacon threshed grain, the oxen stumbled. So Uzzah put his hand on the sacred chest to (steady it/prevent it from falling [off the cart]).
7 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुको रिस उज्जाहको विरुद्ध दन्कियो । तिनको पापको कारणले परमेश्वरले तिनलाई त्यहाँ आक्रमण गर्नुभयो । उज्जाह त्यहाँ नै परमेश्वरको सन्दुकनेर मरे ।
Yahweh immediately became very angry with Uzzah, and he killed him right there alongside the sacred chest, because he had touched the chest, [and Yahweh had commanded that only the descendants of Levi who help the priests should touch the sacred chest].
8 दाऊद रिसाए, किनभने परमप्रभुले उज्जाहलाई आक्रमण गर्नुभएको थियो र तिनले त्यस ठाउँलाई फारेस-उज्जाह भने । त्यस ठाउँलाई आज पनि फारेस-उज्जाह नै भनिन्छ ।
David was angry because Yahweh had punished Uzzah. So ever since that time, that place has been called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
9 दाऊद त्यस दिन परमप्रभुसँग डराएका थिए । तिनले भने, “परमप्रभुको सन्दुक मकहाँ कसरी आउन सक्छ?”
David was [also] afraid of [what else] Yahweh [would do to punish them], so he said, “(How can I take the sacred chest with me [to Jerusalem]?/I am afraid to take the sacred chest with me [to Jerusalem].)” [RHQ]
10 त्यसैले दाऊदले परमप्रभुको सन्दुकलाई दाऊदको सहरमा लान तत्पर भएनन् । बरु, तिनले यसलाई गित्ती ओबेद-एदोमको घरमा राखे ।
So he did not want to take the sacred chest to Jerusalem. Instead, they took it to another place; they took it to the house of Obed-Edom, from Gath [city].
11 पमरप्रभुको सन्दुक गित्ती ओबेद-एदोमको घरमा तीन महिनासम्म रह्यो । त्यसैले परमप्रभुले तिनलाई र तिनका सबै घरानालाई आशिष् दिनुभयो ।
They left the sacred chest in the house of Obed-Edom for three months, and [during that time] Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom and his family.
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 ।
Later, people told David, “Yahweh has blessed Obed-Edom and his family because [he is taking care] of the sacred chest!” When David heard that, he [and some other men] went to Obed-Edom’s house, and very joyfully brought the sacred chest from there to Jerusalem.
13 जब परमप्रभुको सन्दुक बोक्नेहरू छ कदम अगि बढ्थे, तब तिनले एउटा साँढे र एउटा पोसेको बाछो बलि चढाउँथे ।
[This time, descendants of Levi] were carrying the sacred chest, but when they had walked only six steps, they stopped, and there David killed a bull and a fat calf, and offered them to Yahweh for a sacrifice.
14 पमरप्रभुको सामु आफ्नो सारा शक्ति लगाएर दाऊद नाचे । तिनले सूतीको एपोद मात्र लगाएका थिए ।
David was wearing [only] a linen cloth wrapped around his waist, and was dancing very energetically to honor Yahweh.
15 यसरी दाऊद र इस्राएलका सबै घरानाले परमप्रभुको सन्दुक रमाहट गर्दै र तुरही बजाउँदै लिएर आए ।
David and the Israeli men took the sacred chest up [to Jerusalem], shouting [loudly] and blowing trumpets.
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 ।
While they were carrying the sacred chest into the city, [David’s wife] Michal, who was Saul’s daughter, looked out the window [of her house]. She saw King David leaping and dancing to honor Yahweh. So she was disgusted with him.
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 ।
They brought the sacred chest into the tent that David had erected for it. Then David gave to Yahweh offerings to be completely burned [on an altar], and other offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
18 जब दाऊदले होमबलि र मेलबलिहरू चढाएर सिद्ध्याए, तिनले मानिसहरूलाई सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको नाउँमा आशिष् दिए ।
When David had finished offering those sacrifices, he asked Yahweh, the Commander of the armies [of the angels], to bless the people.
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 ।
He also distributed food to all the people. To each Israeli man and woman he gave a loaf of bread, some meat, and a raisin cake. Then all the people returned to their homes.
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 ।”
When David went home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family, his wife Michal came out to meet him. She said to him, “Maybe you, the king of Israel, [think that you] [IRO] were honoring yourself today, but really, you acted like a fool, uncovering yourself while the female servants of your officials were watching!”
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 ।
David replied to Michal, “[I was doing that] to honor Yahweh, who chose me instead of your father and other members of his family, to be the king of the Israeli people, the people who belong to Yahweh. And I will [continue to] dance to honor Yahweh!
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 ।”
[Even though you think that what I did] was disgraceful, I will continue to do it even more. You may despise me [because of what I did], but the women whom you were talking about will honor me!”
23 त्यसैले शाऊलकी छोरी मीकलको मृत्युको दिनसम्म पनि कुनै सन्तान भएन ।
[As a result, ] Saul’s daughter Michal never gave birth to any children.
