< 2 Samueri 6 >

1 Dhavhidhi akaunganidza zvakare varume veIsraeri vakanga vasarudzwa, vaisvika makumi matatu ezviuru.
And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 Akasimuka akaenda navanhu vose vaakanga anavo kuBhaara reJudha, kundotora areka yaMwari kubva ikoko, iyo inodanwa neZita, iro zita raJehovha Wamasimba Ose, agere pakati pamakerubhi ari pamusoro peareka.
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 the LORD enthroned on the cherubim.
3 Vakaisa areka yaMwari mungoro itsva uye vakauya nayo kubva kumba kwaAbhinadhabhu, pachikomo. Uza naAhio, vanakomana vaAbhinadhabhu, ndivo vakanga vachifambisa ngoro itsva iyi
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 areka yaMwari iri pamusoro payo, uye Ahio akanga achifamba mberi kwayo.
with the ark; and Ahio was walking in front of the ark.
5 Dhavhidhi neimba yose yeIsraeri vakapemberera Jehovha nesimba ravo rose, vachiimba nokuridza zviridzwa zvamarudzi ose zvomusipuresi, rudimbwa, mbira, matambureni, ngoma dzamatare namakandira.
And David and the children of Israel played before the LORD with all their strength and with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with castanets, and with cymbals.
6 Vakati vasvika paburiro raNakoni, Uza akatambanudza ruoko rwake ndokubata areka yaMwari, nokuti nzombe dzakanga dzagumburwa.
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 Kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwakapfuta pamusoro paUza nokuda kwokutadza kwake; naizvozvo Mwari akamuuraya ipapo parutivi peareka yaMwari.
And the LORD became angry at Uzza; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died before God.
8 Ipapo Dhavhidhi akatsamwa nokuti Jehovha akanga atsamwira Uza, nokudaro kusvika zvino nzvimbo iyi inodaidzwa kuti Perezi Uza.
And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.
9 Dhavhidhi akatya Jehovha pazuva iri uye akati, “Zvino areka yaJehovha ichasvika seiko kwandiri?”
And David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, "How can the ark of God come to me?" Now the ark of the LORD arrived,
10 Haana kuda kutora areka yaJehovha kuti aende nayo kuGuta raDhavhidhi. Asi akaitsautsira kumba kwaObhedhi-Edhomu muGiti.
but David was not willing to move the ark of the LORD with him to the City of David; so David diverted it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
11 Areka yaJehovha yakagara mumba maObhedhi-Edhomu muGiti kwemwedzi mitatu, Jehovha akamuropafadza, iye neimba yake yose.
And the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months, and the LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.
12 Zvino Mambo Dhavhidhi akaudzwa kuti, “Jehovha akaropafadza imba yaObhedhi-Edhomu nezvose zvaanazvo, nokuda kweareka yaMwari.” Saka Dhavhidhi akaburuka akandotora areka yaMwari kubva muimba yaObhedhi-Edhomu akakwidza nayo kuGuta raDhavhidhi achipembera nomufaro.
And it was told king David, saying, "The LORD 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 the LORD from the house of Obed-Edom into the City of David with joy.
13 Zvino avo vakanga vakatakura areka yaJehovha vaiti vakafamba nhambwe nhanhatu, vobayira nzombe nemhuru yakakodzwa.
And it was so, that, when those who bore the ark had gone six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
14 Dhavhidhi, akapfeka efodhi yomucheka, akatamba pamberi paJehovha nesimba rake rose,
And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and he was clothed in a linen ephod.
15 iye neimba yaIsraeri yose vakakwidza neareka yaJehovha vachipururudza nokuridza hwamanda.
And David and all Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
16 Areka yaJehovha payakanga yopinda muGuta raDhavhidhi, Mikari mwanasikana waSauro akatarira napawindo. Uye paakaona Mambo Dhavhidhi achipembera nokutamba pamberi paJehovha, akamushora mumwoyo make.
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 the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
17 Vakasvika neareka yaJehovha vakaigadzika panzvimbo yayo mukati metende rayakanga yagadzirirwa naDhavhidhi, uye Dhavhidhi akabayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvokuyananisa pamberi paJehovha.
And they brought in the ark of the LORD, 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 the LORD.
18 Zvino akati apedza kubayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvokuyananisa, akaropafadza vanhu muzita raJehovha Wamasimba Ose.
And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.
19 Ipapo akazotorazve chingwa, keke ramadheti nekeke ramazambiringa akaomeswa akazvipa kuno mumwe nomumwe weungano yose yavaIsraeri, varume navakadzi. Uye vanhu vose vakaenda kudzimba dzavo.
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 Dhavhidhi paakadzokera kumba kuti andoropafadza veimba yake, Mikari mwanasikana waSauro akabuda kundosangana naye akati, “Mambo weIsraeri azvisimudzira sei nhasi, zvaabvisa nguo dzoushe pamberi pavarandakadzi vavaranda vake sezvinoitwa nebenzi ripi zvaro.”
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 Dhavhidhi akati kuna Mikari, “Ndazviita pamberi paJehovha, iye akandisarudza pachinzvimbo chababa vako kana mumwe munhu upi zvake muimba yake uye akandiita kuti ndive mutongi wavanhu vaJehovha, vaIsraeri; naizvozvo ndichapembera pamberi paJehovha.
And David said to Mikal, "I was dancing before the LORD. Blessed be the LORD, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over his people Israel; therefore I will celebrate before the LORD.
22 Ndichazvideredza kupfuura izvi, uye ndichazvininipisa pachangu. Asi kana vari varandakadzi vawareva, ndichakudzwa navo.”
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 Uye Mikari mwanasikana waSauro haana kubereka vana kusvikira pazuva rokufa kwake.
And Mikal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
