2 Samweli 6
1 Basi kwa mara nyingine Daudi akawakusanya wateuli wa Israeli, elfu thelathini.
Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 Daudi akainuka na akaenda na watu wake wote waliokuwa pamoja naye kutoka Baala ulioko Yuda ili alilete sanduku la Mungu, liitwalo kwa jina la Yahwe wa majeshi, akaaye juu ya makerubi.
And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of Elohim, whose name is called by the name of YHWH of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.
3 Wakaliweka sanduku la Mungu juu ya mkokoteni mpya. Wakalitoa katika nyumba ya Abinadabu, iliyokuwa juu ya kilima. Uza na Ahio, wanawe, wakauongoza mkokoteni.
And they set the ark of Elohim upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.
4 Wakautoa mkokoteni na sanduku la Mungu juu yake nyumbani mwa Abinadabu juu ya kilima. Ahio alikuwa ametangulia mbele ya sanduku.
And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of Elohim: and Ahio went before the ark.
5 Kisha Daudi na nyumba yote ya Israeli wakaanza kucheza mbele ya Yahwe, wakishangilia kwa vyombo vya mziki, vinubi, vinanda, matari, kayamba na matowazi.
And David and all the house of Israel played before YHWH on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.
6 Hata walipofika katika shinikizo la Nasoni, wale ng'ombe wakakwama, Uza akanyosha mkono wake na kulikumbatia sanduku la Mungu, naye akalishikilia.
And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of Elohim, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.
7 Kisha asira ya Yahweh ikawaka dhidi ya Uza. Mungu akampiga kwa ajili ya dhambi yake. Uza akafa pale pale kando ya sandaku la Mungu.
And the anger of YHWH was kindled against Uzzah; and Elohim smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of Elohim.
8 Daudi akakasirika kwa kuwa Yahwe alimpiga Uza, naye akapaita mahali pale Peresi Uza. Eneo hilo linaitwa Peres Uza hata leo.
And David was displeased, because YHWH had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perez-uzzah to this day.
9 Daudi akamwogopa Yahweh siku hiyo. Akasema, “Sanduku la Yahwe lawezaje kuja kwangu?”
And David was afraid of YHWH that day, and said, How shall the ark of YHWH come to me?
10 Hivyo Daudi hakuwatayari tena kulichukua sanduku la Yahwe katika mji wa Daudi. Badala yake, akaliweka kando katika nyumba ya Obedi Edomu Mgiti.
So David would not remove the ark of YHWH unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
11 Sanduku la Yahwe likakaa katika nyumba ya Obedi Edomu Mgiti kwa miezi mitatu. Kwa hiyo Yahwe akambariki yeye na nyumba yake yote.
And the ark of YHWH continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and YHWH blessed Obed-edom, and all his household.
12 Kisha mfalme Daudi akaambiwa, “Yahwe ameibariki nyumba ya Obedi Edomu na kila kitu alichonacho kwa sababu ya sanduku la Mungu.” Hivyo Daudi akaenda na kulipandisha sanduku la Mungu kutoka katika nyumba ya Obedi Edomu hadi mji wa Daudi kwa furaha.
And it was told king David, saying, YHWH hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of Elohim. So David went and brought up the ark of Elohim from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.
13 Ikawa waliolibeba sanduku la Yahwe walipochukua hatua sita, akatoa sadaka ng'ombe na ndama aliyenona.
And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of YHWH had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
14 Daudi akacheza mbele ya Yahwe kwa nguvu zake zote; alikuwa amevaa naivera ya kitani pekee.
And David danced before YHWH with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15 Hivyo Daudi na nyumba yote ya Israeli wakalipandisha sanduku la Yahwe kwa vifijo na sauti za tarumbeta.
So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of YHWH with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
16 Hata ikawa sanduku la Yahwe lilipofika mjini mwa Daudi, Mikali, binti Sauli, alichungulia dirishani. Akamwona mfalme Daudi akiruka na kucheza mbele ya Yahwe. Akamdharau moyoni mwake.
And as the ark of YHWH came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before YHWH; and she despised him in her heart.
17 Wakaliingiza sanduku la Yahwe na kuliweka mahali pake, katikati ya hema ambayo Daudi alikuwa ameliwekea. Kisha Daudi akatoa sadaka ya kuteketezwa na matoleo ya amani mbele za Yahwe.
And they brought in the ark of YHWH, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before YHWH.
18 Ikawa Daudi alipomaliza kutoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani, akawabariki watu kwa jina la Yahwe wa majeshi.
And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of YHWH of hosts.
19 Kisha akawagawia watu wote, umati wote wa Israeli, wanaume kwa wanawake, kipande cha mkate, nyama na keki ya zabibu. Kisha watu wote wakaondoka; kila mmoja akarudi kwake.
And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.
20 Kisha Daudi akarudi ili aibariki familia yake. Mikali, binti Sauli, akatoka ili akutane na Daudi naye akasema, “Jinsi gani mtukufu mfalme wa Israeli alivyokuwa leo, aliyejiacha uchi mbele ya macho ya vijakazi miongoni mwa watumishi wake, kama mmoja wa wapumbavu ambaye bila aibu hujifunua yeye mwenyewe!”
Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!
21 Daudi akamjibu Mikali, “Nilifanya hivyo mbele ya Yahwe, aliyenichagua juu ya baba yako na juu ya familia yake yote, aliyeniweka kuwa kiongozi juu ya watu wa Yahwe, juu ya Israeli. Mbele ya Yahwe nitafurahi!
And David said unto Michal, It was before YHWH, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of YHWH, over Israel: therefore will I play before YHWH.
22 Nitakuwa nisiye na heshima hata zaidi ya hapa, na nitajishusha mbele za macho yangu mwenyewe. Lakini kwa hawa vijakazi uliowasema, nitaheshimiwa.”
And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.
23 Hivyo Mikali, binti Sauli, hakuwa na watato hata alipokufa.
Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
