२ शमूएल 6

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

David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

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 ।

David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale Judah, to bring up from there God’s ark, which is called by the Name, even the name of the LORD of Armies who sits above the cherubim.

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 God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house that was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.

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

They brought it out of Abinadab’s house which was in the hill, with God’s ark; and Ahio went before 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 played before the LORD with all kinds of instruments made of cypress wood, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with castanets, and with 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 for God’s ark and took hold of it, for the cattle stumbled.

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

The LORD’s anger burned against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by God’s ark.

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 displeased because the LORD had broken out against Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah to this day.

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

David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, “How could the LORD’s ark come to me?”

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

So David would not move the LORD’s ark to be with him in David’s city; but David carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.

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

The LORD’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and the LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.

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 ।

King David was told, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that belongs to him, because of God’s ark.” So David went and brought up God’s ark from the house of Obed-Edom into David’s city with joy.

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

When those who bore the LORD’s ark had gone 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 ।

David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.

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

So David and all the house of Israel brought up the LORD’s ark with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.

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 LORD’s ark came into David’s city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out through the 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 ।

They brought in the LORD’s ark, and set it in its place in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and 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 offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Armies.

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 gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, dates, and raisins. So all the people departed, each to his own house.

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 ।”

Then David returned to bless his household. Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”

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 said to Michal, “It was before the LORD, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of the LORD, over Israel. Therefore 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 ।”

I will be yet more undignified than this, and will be worthless in my own sight. But the maids of whom you have spoken will honor me.”

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

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