2 Samuelova 6
1 Poslije skupi opet David sve ljude izabrane iz Izrailja, trideset tisuæa.
Then David chose 30,000 Israeli men and gathered them together.
2 Pa se podiže David i sav narod što bijaše s njim i otide iz Vale Judine da prenese otuda kovèeg Božji, kod kojega se prizivlje ime, ime Gospoda nad vojskama, koji sjedi na heruvimima.
He led them to the place in Judah [formerly] called Baalah, [now called Kiriath-Jearim]. They went in order to bring from there [to Jerusalem] the sacred chest, which had the name of Yahweh, the leader of the armies of [the angels in] heaven, written on it, and which had the [statues of the] winged creatures on top of it. Between those statues was where Yahweh spoke messages about ruling his people [MTY].
3 I metnuše kovèeg Božji na nova kola, i povezoše ga iz kuæe Avinadavove, koja bijaše na brdu; a Uza i Ahijo sinovi Avinadavovi upravljahu novijem kolima.
The sacred chest was in the house of Abinadab, on top of a hill. They went there, and they put the chest on a new cart. Uzzah and Ahio, the two sons of Abinadab, were guiding [the oxen that were pulling the cart].
4 I odvezoše kovèeg Božji iz kuæe Avinadavove, koja bijaše na brdu, i Ahijo iðaše pred kovèegom.
Uzzah walked alongside the cart, and Ahio walked in front of it.
5 A David i sav dom Izrailjev udarahu pred Gospodom u svakojake sprave od drveta kedrova, u gusle, u psaltire, u bubnje, u svirale i u kimvale.
David and all the Israeli men were celebrating in God’s presence, singing with all their strength and [playing] lyres and harps, and beating tambourines, and clashing castanets and cymbals.
6 A kad doðoše do gumna Nahonova, Uza se maši za kovèeg Božji i prihvati ga, jer volovi potegoše na stranu.
But when they came to the place where Nacon threshed grain, the oxen stumbled. So Uzzah put his hand on the sacred chest to (steady it/prevent it from falling [off the cart]).
7 I Gospod se razgnjevi na Uzu, i udari ga Bog ondje za tu nepažnju, te umrije ondje kod kovèega Božijega.
Yahweh immediately became very angry with Uzzah, and he killed him right there alongside the sacred chest, because he had touched the chest, [and Yahweh had commanded that only the descendants of Levi who help the priests should touch the sacred chest].
8 I ožalosti se David što Gospod ubi Uzu. Zato se prozva ono mjesto Fares-Uza do danas.
David was angry because Yahweh had punished Uzzah. So ever since that time, that place has been called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
9 I uplaši se David od Gospoda u onaj dan, i reèe: kako æe doæi k meni kovèeg Gospodnji?
David was [also] afraid of [what else] Yahweh [would do to punish them], so he said, “(How can I take the sacred chest with me [to Jerusalem]?/I am afraid to take the sacred chest with me [to Jerusalem].)” [RHQ]
10 I ne htje David odvesti kovèega Gospodnjega k sebi u grad Davidov; nego ga skloni David u kuæu Ovid-Edoma Getejina.
So he did not want to take the sacred chest to Jerusalem. Instead, they took it to another place; they took it to the house of Obed-Edom, from Gath [city].
11 I osta kovèeg Gospodnji u kuæi Ovid-Edoma Getejina tri mjeseca, i blagoslovi Gospod Ovid-Edoma i sav dom njegov.
They left the sacred chest in the house of Obed-Edom for three months, and [during that time] Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom and his family.
12 I javiše caru Davidu govoreæi: Gospod blagoslovi dom Ovid-Edomov i sve što ima radi kovèega Božijega. Tada otide David, i prenese kovèeg Božji iz kuæe Ovid-Edomove u grad Davidov s veseljem.
Later, people told David, “Yahweh has blessed Obed-Edom and his family because [he is taking care] of the sacred chest!” When David heard that, he [and some other men] went to Obed-Edom’s house, and very joyfully brought the sacred chest from there to Jerusalem.
13 I kad oni koji nošahu kovèeg Gospodnji postupiše šest koraka, prinese na žrtvu vola i debela ovna.
[This time, descendants of Levi] were carrying the sacred chest, but when they had walked only six steps, they stopped, and there David killed a bull and a fat calf, and offered them to Yahweh for a sacrifice.
14 I David igraše iz sve snage pred Gospodom, i bješe ogrnut opleækom lanenijem.
David was wearing [only] a linen cloth wrapped around his waist, and was dancing very energetically to honor Yahweh.
15 Tako David i sav dom Izrailjev nošahu kovèeg Gospodnji podvikujuæi i trubeæi u trube.
David and the Israeli men took the sacred chest up [to Jerusalem], shouting [loudly] and blowing trumpets.
16 A kad kovèeg Gospodnji ulažaše u grad Davidov, Mihala kæi Saulova gledajuæi s prozora vidje cara Davida gdje skaèe i igra pred Gospodom, i podrugnu mu se u srcu svojem.
While they were carrying the sacred chest into the city, [David’s wife] Michal, who was Saul’s daughter, looked out the window [of her house]. She saw King David leaping and dancing to honor Yahweh. So she was disgusted with him.
17 A kad donesoše kovèeg Gospodnji, namjestiše ga na njegovo mjesto u šatoru koji mu razape David. I prinese David žrtve paljenice i žrtve zahvalne pred Gospodom.
They brought the sacred chest into the tent that David had erected for it. Then David gave to Yahweh offerings to be completely burned [on an altar], and other offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
18 Potom prinesavši David žrtve paljenice i žrtve zahvalne blagoslovi narod u ime Gospoda nad vojskama.
When David had finished offering those sacrifices, he asked Yahweh, the Commander of the armies [of the angels], to bless the people.
19 I razdade meðu sav narod, meðu sve mnoštvo Izrailjevo, i ljudima i ženama, svakome po jedan hljeb i komad mesa i žban vina. Potom otide narod, svak svojoj kuæi.
He also distributed food to all the people. To each Israeli man and woman he gave a loaf of bread, some meat, and a raisin cake. Then all the people returned to their homes.
20 I David se vrati da blagoslovi svoj dom; a Mihala kæi Saulova izide na susret Davidu, i reèe: kako je slavan bio danas car Izrailjev, kad se danas otkrivao pred sluškinjama sluga svojih, kao što se otkrivaju nikaki ljudi!
When David went home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family, his wife Michal came out to meet him. She said to him, “Maybe you, the king of Israel, [think that you] [IRO] were honoring yourself today, but really, you acted like a fool, uncovering yourself while the female servants of your officials were watching!”
21 A David reèe Mihali: pred Gospodom, koji me je izabrao preko oca tvojega i preko svega doma njegova, te mi zapovjedio da budem voð narodu Gospodnjemu, Izrailju, igrao sam, i igraæu pred Gospodom.
David replied to Michal, “[I was doing that] to honor Yahweh, who chose me instead of your father and other members of his family, to be the king of the Israeli people, the people who belong to Yahweh. And I will [continue to] dance to honor Yahweh!
22 I još æu se veæma poniziti, i još æu manji sebi biti; i opet æu biti slavan pred sluškinjama, za koje govoriš.
[Even though you think that what I did] was disgraceful, I will continue to do it even more. You may despise me [because of what I did], but the women whom you were talking about will honor me!”
23 I Mihala kæi Saulova ne ima poroda do smrti svoje.
[As a result, ] Saul’s daughter Michal never gave birth to any children.
