2 Samuel 6
1 Endå eingong stemnde David saman alt det utvalde mannskapet i Israel: tretti tusund mann.
And David again gathered together all the chosen 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, with all the people that were with him of the men of Juda to fetch the ark of God, upon which the name of the Lord of hosts is invoked, who sitteth over it upon the cherubims.
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 laid the ark of God upon a new cart: and took it out of the house of Abinadab, who was in Gabaa: and Oza, 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 out of the house of Abinadab, who was in Gabaa, Ahio having care of the ark of God went before the ark.
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 Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of wood, on harps and lutes and timbrels and cornets 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 when they came to the floor of Nachon, Oza put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it: because the oxen kicked and made it lean aside.
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 enkindled against Oza, and he struck him for his rashness: and he died there before the ark of God.
8 David vart ille ved av di Herren øydelagde Uzza. Og den staden heite Peres-Uzza den dag i dag.
And David was grieved because the Lord had struck Oza, and the name of that place was called: The striking of Oza, 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 afraid of the Lord that day, saying: How shall the ark of the Lord come 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 would not have the ark of the Lord brought in to himself into the city of David: but he caused it to be carried into the house of Obededom the Gethite.
11 So stod Herrens kista der i tri månader. Og Herren velsigna Obed-Edom og heile hans hus.
And the ark of the Lord abode in the house of Obededom the Gethite 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 told king David, that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that he had, because of the ark of God. So David went, and brought away the ark of God out of 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 they that carried the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed 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 might before the Lord: and David was girded with a 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 brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord with joyful shouting, and with sound of 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 was come into the city of David, Michol 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 brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it: and David offered holocausts, and peace offerings before the Lord.
18 Og då han var ferdig med desse ofringarne, velsigna han folket i namnet åt Herren, allhers drott.
And when he had made an end of 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 all the multitude of Israel both men and women, to every one, a cake of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and fine flour fried with oil: and all the people departed every one to his 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 to bless his own house: and Michol the daughter of Saul coming out to meet David, said: How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself before the handmaids of his servants, and was naked, as if one of the buffoons should be naked.
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 Michol: Before the Lord, who chose me rather than thy father, and than all his house, and commanded me to be ruler 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 make myself meaner than I have done: and I will be little in my own eyes: and with the handmaid of whom thou speakest, I shall appear more glorious.
23 Mikal Saulsdotter vart verande barnlaus alt til sin døyande dag.
Therefore Michol the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
