2 Samuel 6
1 Endå eingong stemnde David saman alt det utvalde mannskapet i Israel: tretti tusund mann.
Then David again gathered together all the elect men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 Og David gav seg på veg, og drog ut med alt sitt folk frå Ba’ale-Juda, og førde derifrå Guds kista, som heiter etter Herren, allhers drott, han som tronar på kerubarne.
And David arose and went away, with the entire people who were with him from the men of Judah, so that they might lead back the ark of God, over which is invoked the name of the Lord of hosts, who sits upon the cherubim above it.
3 Dei sette Guds kista på ei ny vogn og førde henne frå Abinadabs hus på haugen. Og Uzza og Ahjo Abinadabs-søner køyrde den nye vogni.
And they placed the ark of God on a new cart. And they took it from the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeon. And Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4 Soleis førde dei Guds kista burt frå Abinadabs hus på haugen, med di dei fylgde henne, og Ahjo gjekk fyre kista.
And when they had taken it from the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeon, Ahio preceded the ark as the keeper of the ark of God.
5 David og heile Israels-ætti leika for Herren, til alle slag spel av cypresstre, til cithrar, harpor, trummor, bjøllor og cymblar.
But David and all of Israel played before the Lord on every kind of musical instrument made of wood, and on harps, and lyres, and timbrels, and bells, and cymbals.
6 Då dei kom burtimot treskjestaden åt Nakon, tok Uzza tak med henderne i Guds kista og heldt fast i henne, av di uksarne snåva.
And after they had arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah extended his hand to the ark of God, and he touched it, because the oxen were kicking and had caused it to tip.
7 Då loga Herrens harm upp mot Uzza. Og Gud slo honom for det brotet skuld. Og han fekk sin bane der attmed Guds kista.
And the indignation of the Lord was enraged against Uzzah. And he struck him for his temerity. And there he died, beside the ark of God.
8 David vart ille ved av di Herren øydelagde Uzza. Og den staden heite Peres-Uzza den dag i dag.
Then David was saddened because the Lord had struck Uzzah. And the name of that place was called: the Striking of Uzzah, even to this day.
9 Men David vart so rædd for Herren den dagen, at han sagde: «Kor kann eg våga føra Herrens kista upp til meg!»
And David was very fearful of the Lord on that day, saying, “How shall the ark of the Lord be brought to me?”
10 Difor vilde ikkje David flytja Herrens kista upp til Davidsbyen, men let deim setja henne inn i huset åt gatiten Obed-Edom.
And he was not willing to send the ark of the Lord to himself in the city of David. Instead, he sent it into the house of Obededom, the Gittite.
11 So stod Herrens kista der i tri månader. Og Herren velsigna Obed-Edom og heile hans hus.
And the ark of the Lord dwelt in the house of Obededom the Gittite, for three months. And the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household.
12 Då kong David spurde at Herren velsigna huset åt Obed-Edom og all hans eigedom for Guds kista skuld, drog David av stad og flutta Guds kista derifrå og upp til Davidsbyen med stor fagnad.
And it was reported to king David that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that was his, because of the ark of God. Therefore, David went and brought the ark of God, from the house of Obededom, into the city of David with joy. And there were with David seven choirs, and calves for victims.
13 Då dei som bar Herrens kista, hadde gjenge seks stig, ofra han ein ukse og ein gjødkalv.
And when those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had traveled six steps, he immolated an ox and a ram.
14 David sjølv dansa av all magt framfor Herren i ein messehakel av lin.
And David danced with all his ability before the Lord. And David was girded with the linen ephod.
15 Soleis henta David og heile Israels-ætti Herrens kista dit upp med fagnadrop og lurljod.
And David, and all the house of Israel, were leading the ark of the testament of the Lord, with jubilation and the sound of the trumpet.
16 Då Herrens kista kom inn i Davidsbyen, stod Mikal Saulsdotter og såg ut igjenom vindauga. Då ho fekk sjå kong David sprang og dansa framfor Herren, då fekk ho vanvyrdnad for honom i sitt hjarta.
And when the ark of the Lord had entered into the city of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looking out through a window, saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord. And she despised him in her heart.
17 Då dei hadde ført Herrens kista upp, sette dei henne på sin stad midt i det tjeldet som David hadde reist åt henne. David ofra brennoffer og takkoffer for Herren.
And they led in the ark of the Lord. And they set it in its place in the middle of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it. And David offered holocausts and peace offerings in the sight of the Lord.
18 Og då han var ferdig med desse ofringarne, velsigna han folket i namnet åt Herren, allhers drott.
And when he had completed offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19 Deretter skifte han ut åt heile folket, åt heile Israels-ålmugen, både åt kar og kvende, ei hellekaka, eit stykke kjøt og ei rosinkaka til manns. So gjekk heile folket heim kvar til seg.
And he distributed to the entire multitude of Israel, as much to men as to women, to each one: one loaf of bread, and one piece of roasted beef, and fine wheat flour fried with oil. And all the people went away, each one to his own house.
20 Men då David kom heim og helsa husfolki sine, gjekk Mikal Saulsdotter til møtes med honom og sagde: «Kor måtte ikkje Israels konge kjenna seg høgvyrd i dag, med han i dag hev nækt seg framfor tenestgjentorne åt tenarane sine, soleis som skamlaust folk plar nækja seg.»
And David returned, so that he might bless his own house. And Michal, the daughter of Saul, going out to meet David, said: “How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself before the handmaids of his servants, and being unclothed, as if one of the performers were unclothed.”
21 David svara Mikal: «For Herrens åsyn hev eg dansa, han som valde meg ut framfor far din og framfor heile hans ætt, og sette meg til fyrste for Israel, Herrens folk. For Herrens åsyn var det eg dansa,
And David said to Michal: “Before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father, and rather than his entire house, and who commanded me, that I should be the leader over the people of the Lord in Israel,
22 og småminka meg meir, og verta ring i mine augo. Men hjå dei tenestgjentorne du nemnde, hjå deim skal eg verta høgvyrd.»
I will both play and demean myself, more so than I have done. And I will be little in my own eyes. And with the handmaids, about whom you are speaking, I will appear more glorious.”
23 Mikal Saulsdotter vart verande barnlaus alt til sin døyande dag.
And so, there was no child born to Michal, the daughter of Saul, even to the day of her death.
