< 2 Samweli 6 >

1 Basi kwa mara nyingine Daudi akawakusanya wateuli wa Israeli, elfu thelathini.
And he gathered again David every chosen [man] in 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 he arose - and he went David and all the people which [was] with him from Baalah of Judah to bring up from there [the] ark of God which it is called [the] name [the] name of Yahweh of hosts [who] sits the cherubim on it.
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 made to ride [the] ark of God to a cart a new and they carried it from [the] house of Abinadab which [was] on the hill and Uzzah and Ahio [the] sons of Abinadab [were] leading the cart new.
4 Wakautoa mkokoteni na sanduku la Mungu juu yake nyumbani mwa Abinadabu juu ya kilima. Ahio alikuwa ametangulia mbele ya sanduku.
And they carried it from [the] house of Abinadab which [was] on the hill with [the] ark of God and Ahio [was] walking 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 [were] playing before Yahweh on all wood of fir trees and on harps and on lyres and on tambourines and on rattles 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 they came to [the] threshing floor of Nacon and he stretched out Uzzah to [the] ark of God and he took hold on it for they had stumbled the ox[en].
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 it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Uzzah and he struck down him there God on the presumption and he died there beside [the] ark of God.
8 Daudi akakasirika kwa kuwa Yahwe alimpiga Uza, naye akapaita mahali pale Peresi Uza. Eneo hilo linaitwa Peres Uza hata leo.
And it burned to David on that he had broken out Yahweh a breaking out against Uzzah and someone called the place that Perez Uzzah until the day this.
9 Daudi akamwogopa Yahweh siku hiyo. Akasema, “Sanduku la Yahwe lawezaje kuja kwangu?”
And he feared David Yahweh on the day that and he said how? will it come to me [the] ark of Yahweh.
10 Hivyo Daudi hakuwatayari tena kulichukua sanduku la Yahwe katika mji wa Daudi. Badala yake, akaliweka kando katika nyumba ya Obedi Edomu Mgiti.
And not he was willing David to turn aside to himself [the] ark of Yahweh to [the] city of David and he turned aside it David [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 it remained [the] ark of Yahweh [the] house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months and he blessed Yahweh Obed-Edom and all household his.
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 to the king David saying he has blessed Yahweh [the] household of Obed-Edom and all that [belongs] to him for sake of [the] ark of God and he went David and he brought up [the] ark of God from [the] house of Obed-Edom [the] city of David with rejoicing.
13 Ikawa waliolibeba sanduku la Yahwe walipochukua hatua sita, akatoa sadaka ng'ombe na ndama aliyenona.
And it was that they had stepped [the] bearers of [the] ark of Yahweh six steps and he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.
14 Daudi akacheza mbele ya Yahwe kwa nguvu zake zote; alikuwa amevaa naivera ya kitani pekee.
And David [was] dancing with all strength before Yahweh and David [was] girded an ephod of linen.
15 Hivyo Daudi na nyumba yote ya Israeli wakalipandisha sanduku la Yahwe kwa vifijo na sauti za tarumbeta.
And David and all [the] house of Israel [were] bringing up [the] ark of Yahweh with shouting and with [the] sound of a 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 it was [the] ark of Yahweh coming [the] city of David and Michal [the] daughter of Saul she looked down - through the window and she saw the king David leaping and dancing before Yahweh and she despised him in heart her.
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 [the] ark of Yahweh and they set it in place its in [the] midst of the tent which he had pitched for it David and he offered up David burnt offerings before Yahweh and peace offerings.
18 Ikawa Daudi alipomaliza kutoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani, akawabariki watu kwa jina la Yahwe wa majeshi.
And he finished David from offering up the burnt offering and the peace offerings and he blessed the people in [the] name of Yahweh 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 distributed to all the people to all [the] multitude of Israel to from a man and unto a woman to each a cake of bread one and a date-cake one and a raisin-cake one and it went all the people each to own house his.
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!”
And he returned David to bless household his and she came out Michal [the] daughter of Saul to meet David and she said how! he has honored himself this day [the] king of Israel who he has uncovered himself this day to [the] eyes of [the] maidservants of servants his as uncovers himself shamelessly one of the worthless [men].
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 he said David to Michal before Yahweh who he chose me more than father your and more than all household his to appoint me ruler over [the] people of Yahweh over Israel and I will play before Yahweh.
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 demean myself still more than this and I will be lowly in own eyes my and with the maidservants whom you have said with them I will be honored.
23 Hivyo Mikali, binti Sauli, hakuwa na watato hata alipokufa.
And to Michal [the] daughter of Saul not it belonged to her a child until [the] day of death her.
