< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 E tornou David a ajuntar todos os escolhidos de Israel, em número de trinta mil.
And 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 consigo de Baalim de Judá, para levarem dali para cima a arca de Deus, sobre a qual se invoca o nome, o nome do Senhor dos exércitos, que se assenta entre os cherubins.
And David arose, and went with all the people who were with him to Baalah, that is, Kiriath Jearim of Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called there by the name of YHWH enthroned on the cherubim.
3 E puseram 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.
And they set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was on the hill. And Uzza and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, guided the cart
4 E levando-o da casa de Abinadab, que está em Gibeah, com a arca de Deus, Ahio ia diante da arca.
with the ark; and Ahio was walking in front of 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 saltérios, e com tamboris, e com pandeiros, e com címbalos.
And David and the children of Israel played before YHWH with all their strength and with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with castanets, and with cymbals.
6 E, chegando à eira de Nachon, estendeu Uza a mão à arca de Deus, e teve mão nela; porque os bois a deixavam pender.
And when they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzza reached out his hand to the ark of God, to steady it; for the oxen stumbled.
7 Então a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra Uza, e Deus o feriu ali por esta imprudência: e morreu ali junto à arca de Deus.
And YHWH became angry at Uzza; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died before God.
8 E David se contristou, porque o Senhor abrira rotura em Uza; e chamou aquele lugar Peres-uza, até ao dia de hoje.
And David was displeased, because YHWH had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.
9 E temeu David ao Senhor naquele dia; e disse: Como virá a mim a arca do Senhor?
And David was afraid of YHWH that day; and he said, "How can the ark of God come to me?" Now the ark of YHWH arrived,
10 E não quis David retirar a si a arca do Senhor à cidade de David; mas David a fez levar à casa de Obed-edom, o getheu.
but David was not willing to move the ark of YHWH with him to the City of David; so David diverted it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
11 E ficou a arca do Senhor em casa de Obed-Edom, o getheu, três meses: e abençoou o Senhor a Obed-edom, e a toda a sua casa.
And the ark of YHWH remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months, and YHWH blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.
12 Então avisaram a David, dizendo: Abençoou o Senhor a casa de 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, à cidade de David, com alegria.
And it was told king David, saying, "YHWH has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him because of the ark of God." And David said, "I will bring back the blessing to my house." And David went and brought up the ark of YHWH from the house of Obed-Edom into the City of David with joy.
13 E sucedeu que, quando os que levavam a arca do Senhor tinham dado seis passos, sacrificava bois e carneiros cevados.
And it was so, that, when those who bore the ark had gone six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
14 E David saltava com todas as suas forças diante do Senhor: e estava David cingido dum éfode de linho.
And David danced before YHWH with all his might; and he was clothed in a linen ephod.
15 Assim subindo, levavam David e todo o Israel a arca do Senhor, com júbilo, e ao som das trombetas.
And David and all Israel brought up the ark of YHWH with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
16 E sucedeu que, entrando a arca do Senhor na cidade de David, Michal, a filha de Saul, estava olhando pela janela: e, vendo ao rei David, que ia bailando e saltando diante do Senhor, o desprezou no seu coração.
Now, as the ark entered the City of David, Mikal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before YHWH; and she despised him in her heart.
17 E introduzindo a arca do Senhor, a puseram no seu lugar, na tenda que David lhe armara: e ofereceu David holocaustos e ofertas pacíficas perante o Senhor.
And they brought in the ark of YHWH, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had set up for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before YHWH.
18 E acabando David de oferecer os holocaustos e ofertas pacíficas, abençoou o povo em nome do Senhor dos exércitos.
And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of YHWH of hosts.
19 E repartiu a todo o povo, e a toda a multidão de Israel, desde os homens até às 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.
And he gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. So all the people departed everyone to his 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 de Israel, descobrindo-se hoje aos olhos das servas de seus servos, como sem pejo se descobre qualquer dos vadios.
And then David returned to bless his household. Mikal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David. And she greeted him, and said, "How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the servants of his servants, 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 pai, e a toda a sua casa, mandando-me que fosse chefe sobre o povo do Senhor, sobre Israel: perante o Senhor tenho feito alegrias.
And David said to Mikal, "I was dancing before YHWH. Blessed be YHWH, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over his people Israel; therefore I will celebrate before YHWH.
22 E ainda mais do que isto me envilecerei, e me humilharei aos meus olhos: e das servas, de quem falaste, delas serei honrado.
And I will be yet more vile than this, and will be lowly in your eyes. But of the servants of whom you have spoken, they shall honor me."
23 E Michal, a filha de Saul, não teve filhos, até ao dia da sua morte.
And Mikal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
