< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 E tornou David a ajuntar todos os escolhidos de Israel, em numero de trinta mil.
David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 E levantou-se David, e partiu com todo o povo que tinha comsigo de Baalim de Judah, para levarem d'ali para cima a arca de Deus, sobre a qual se invoca o nome, o nome do Senhor dos exercitos, que se assenta entre os cherubins.
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 E puzeram a arca de Deus em um carro novo, e a levaram da casa de Abinadab, que está em Gibeah: e Uza e Ahio, filhos de Abinadab, guiavam o carro novo.
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 E levando-o da casa d'Abinadab, que está em Gibeah, com a arca de Deus, Ahio ia diante da arca.
They brought it out of Abinadab’s house which was in the hill, with God’s ark; and Ahio went before the ark.
5 E David, e toda a casa de Israel, fazia alegrias perante o Senhor, com toda a sorte de instrumentos de pau de faia: como com harpas, e com psalterios, e com tamboris, e com pandeiros, e com cymbalos.
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 E, chegando á eira de Nachon, estendeu Uza a mão á arca de Deus, e teve mão n'ella; porque os bois a deixavam pender.
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 Então a ira do Senhor se accendeu contra Uza, e Deus o feriu ali por esta imprudencia: e morreu ali junto á arca de Deus.
The LORD’s anger burnt against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by God’s ark.
8 E David se contristou, porque o Senhor abrira rotura em Uza; e chamou aquelle logar Peres-uza, até ao dia d'hoje.
David was displeased because the LORD had broken out against Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah to this day.
9 E temeu David ao Senhor n'aquelle dia; e disse: Como virá a mim a arca do Senhor?
David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, “How could the LORD’s ark come to me?”
10 E não quiz David retirar a si a arca do Senhor á cidade de David; mas David a fez levar á casa de Obed-edom, o getheo.
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 E ficou a arca do Senhor em casa d'Obed-edom, o getheo, tres mezes: e abençoou o Senhor a Obed-edom, e a toda a sua casa.
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 Então avisaram a David, dizendo: Abençoou o Senhor a casa d'Obed-edom, e tudo quanto tem, por amor da arca de Deus; foi pois David, e trouxe a arca de Deus para cima, da casa de Obed-edom, á cidade de David, com alegria.
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 E succedeu que, quando os que levavam a arca do Senhor tinham dado seis passos, sacrificava bois e carneiros cevados.
When those who bore the LORD’s ark had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
14 E David saltava com todas as suas forças diante do Senhor: e estava David cingido d'um ephod de linho.
David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.
15 Assim subindo, levavam David e todo o Israel a arca do Senhor, com jubilo, e ao som das trombetas.
So David and all the house of Israel brought up the LORD’s ark with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.
16 E succedeu que, entrando a arca do Senhor na cidade de David, Michal, a filha de Saul, estava olhando pela janella: e, vendo ao rei David, que ia bailando e saltando diante do Senhor, o desprezou no seu coração.
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 E introduzindo a arca do Senhor, a puzeram no seu logar, na tenda que David lhe armara: e offereceu David holocaustos e offertas pacificas perante o Senhor.
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 E acabando David de offerecer os holocaustos e offertas pacificas, abençoou o povo em nome do Senhor dos exercitos.
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 E repartiu a todo o povo, e a toda a multidão de Israel, desde os homens até ás mulheres, a cada um, um bolo de pão, e um bom pedaço de carne, e um frasco de vinho; então foi-se todo o povo, cada um para sua casa.
He gave to all the people, even amongst 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 E, voltando David para abençoar a sua casa, Michal, a filha de Saul, saiu a encontrar-se com David, e disse: Quão honrado foi o rei d'Israel, descobrindo-se hoje aos olhos das servas de seus servos, como sem pejo se descobre qualquer dos vadios.
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 Disse porém David a Michal: Perante o Senhor, que me escolheu a mim antes do que a teu pae, e a toda a sua casa, mandando-me que fosse chefe sobre o povo do Senhor, sobre Israel: perante o Senhor tenho feito alegrias.
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 E ainda mais do que isto me envilecerei, e me humilharei aos meus olhos: e das servas, de quem fallaste, d'ellas serei honrado.
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 honour me.”
23 E Michal, a filha de Saul, não teve filhos, até ao dia da sua morte.
Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
