Вторая книга Царств 6
1 И собра Давид еще всякаго юношу от Израиля, яко седмьдесят тысящ.
Then David chose 30,000 Israeli men and gathered them together.
2 И воста и иде Давид и вси людие, иже с ним, и от князей Иудиных, на восход, еже вознести оттуду кивот Божий, над нимже призвася имя Господа Сил, седящаго на херувимех над ним:
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 и возложиша кивот Господень на колесницу нову, и отвезоша его из дому и Аминадавля иже на холме: Оза же и братия его сынове Аминадавли везяху колесницу с кивотом (Господним):
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 и братия его идяху пред кивотом (Божиим),
Uzzah walked alongside the cart, and Ahio walked in front of it.
5 Давид же и сынове Израилевы (идяху) пред Господем, играюще во органы устроенныя в крепости, и в пениих и в гуслех, и в свирелех и в тимпанех, и в кимвалех и в цевницах,
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 и приидоша до гумна Нахорова. И простре Оза руку свою на кивот Божий придержати его, и ятся за него, понеже превращаше его телец.
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 И разгневася гневом Господь на Озу и порази его тамо Бог, и умре тамо у кивота Господня пред Богом.
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 И опечалися Давид, понеже порази Господь поражением Озу: и наречеся место то поражение Озино и до сего дне.
David was angry because Yahweh had punished Uzzah. So ever since that time, that place has been called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
9 И убояся Господа Давид в день той, глаголя: како внидет ко мне кивот Господень?
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 И не хотяше Давид, да приидет к нему кивот завета Господня во град Давидов: и уклони его Давид в дом Аведдара Гефеанина.
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 И стояше кивот Господень в дому Аведдара Гефеанина месяцы три, и благослови Господь весь дом Аведдаров и вся, яже его.
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 И возвестиша царю Давиду, глаголюще: благослови Господь дом Аведдаров и вся, яже его, кивота ради Божия. И иде Давид, и взя кивот Божий из дому Аведдарова во град Давидов в веселии:
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 и беша с ним несуще кивот Господень седмь ликов, и жертва телец и агнцы:
[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 и Давид бряцаше во органы устроены пред Господем, и оболчен бысть Давид во одежду изящну:
David was wearing [only] a linen cloth wrapped around his waist, and was dancing very energetically to honor Yahweh.
15 и Давид и весь дом Израилев несяху кивот Господень с воплем и со гласом трубным.
David and the Israeli men took the sacred chest up [to Jerusalem], shouting [loudly] and blowing trumpets.
16 И бысть кивоту приносиму ко граду Давидову, и Мелхола дщи Саулова приницаше оконцем и виде царя Давида скачуща и играюща пред Господем, и уничижи его в сердцы своем.
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 И внесоша кивот Господень, и поставиша его на месте его посреде скинии, юже постави ему Давид: и вознесе Давид всесожигаемая пред Господа и мирная,
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 и соверши Давид возносяй всесожжения и мирная, и благослови люди о имени Господа Сил,
When David had finished offering those sacrifices, he asked Yahweh, the Commander of the armies [of the angels], to bless the people.
19 и раздели всем людем на всю силу Израилеву от Дана даже до Вирсавии, и от мужа даже до жены, коемуждо по укруху хлеба, и по части печенаго мяса, и по сковрадному млину. И отидоша вси людие, кийждо в дом свой.
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 И возвратися Давид благословити дом свой, и изыде Мелхола дщи Саулова на сретение Давиду, и благослови его и рече: коль прославися днесь царь Израилев, иже открыся днесь пред очима рабынь рабов своих, якоже открывается открывшийся един от пляшущих?
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 И рече Давид к Мелхоле: пред Господем плясати буду: и благословен Господь, иже избра мя паче отца твоего и паче всего дому его, поставити мя властелина над людьми Своими над Израилем, и буду играти и плясати пред Господем:
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 и открыюся еще такожде и буду непотребен пред очима твоима, и с рабынями, о нихже рекла еси, непрославлену быти ми.
[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 И у Мелхолы дщере Саули не бысть детища до дне смерти ея.
[As a result, ] Saul’s daughter Michal never gave birth to any children.
