2 Samuel 6
1 At pinisan uli ni David ang lahat na piling lalake sa Israel, na tatlong pung libo.
Then David chose 30,000 Israeli men and gathered them together.
2 At bumangon si David at yumaon na kasama ng buong bayan na nasa kaniya, mula sa Baale Juda, upang iahon mula roon ang kaban ng Dios, na tinatawag sa Pangalan, sa makatuwid baga'y sa pangalan ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na tumatahan sa gitna ng mga querubin.
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 At kanilang inilagay ang kaban ng Dios sa isang bagong karo, at kanilang inilabas sa bahay ni Abinadab na nasa burol: at si Uzza at si Ahio, na mga anak ni Abinadab, ay siyang nagpatakbo ng bagong karo.
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 At kanilang inilabas sa bahay ni Abinadab, na nasa burol, pati ng kaban ng Dios: at si Ahio ay nagpauna sa kaban.
Uzzah walked alongside the cart, and Ahio walked in front of it.
5 At si David at ang buong sangbahayan ni Israel ay nagsitugtog sa harap ng Panginoon ng sarisaring panugtog na kahoy na abeto, at ng mga alpa, at ng mga salterio, at ng mga pandereta, at ng mga kastaneta at ng mga simbalo.
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 At nang sila'y magsidating sa giikan ni Nachon, iniunat ni Uzza ang kaniyang kamay sa kaban ng Dios, at hinawakan; sapagka't ang mga baka ay nangatisod.
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 At ang galit ng Panginoon ay nagalab laban kay Uzza; at sinaktan siya ng Dios doon dahil sa kaniyang kamalian; at doo'y namatay siya sa siping ng kaban ng Dios.
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 At hindi minagaling ni David, sapagka't nagalit ang Panginoon kay Uzza: at kaniyang tinawag ang dakong yaon na Perez-uzza hanggang sa araw na ito.
David was angry because Yahweh had punished Uzzah. So ever since that time, that place has been called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
9 At natakot si David sa Panginoon sa araw na yaon; at kaniyang sinabi, Paanong madadala rito ang kaban ng Panginoon sa akin?
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 Sa gayo'y hindi inilipat ni David ang kaban ng Panginoon sa kaniya sa bayan ni David, kundi iniliko ni David sa bahay ni Obed-edom na Getheo.
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 At ang kaban ng Panginoon ay natira sa bahay ni Obed-edom na Getheo na tatlong buwan: at pinagpala ng Panginoon si Obed-edom, at ang kaniyang buong sangbahayan.
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 At nasaysay sa haring kay David, na sinasabi, Pinagpala ng Panginoon ang sangbahayan ni Obed-edom, at ang lahat ng nauukol sa kaniya, dahil sa kaban ng Dios. At yumaon si David at iniahon ang kaban ng Dios mula sa bahay ni Obed-edom, hanggang sa bayan ni David, na may kagalakan.
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 At nagkagayon na nang yaong mga nagdadala ng kaban ng Panginoon ay makalakad ng anim na hakbang, siya'y naghain ng isang baka at isang pinataba.
[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 At nagsayaw si David ng kaniyang buong lakas sa harap ng Panginoon; at si David ay nabibigkisan ng isang epod na lino.
David was wearing [only] a linen cloth wrapped around his waist, and was dancing very energetically to honor Yahweh.
15 Sa gayo'y iniahon ni David at ng buong sangbahayan ng Israel ang kaban ng Panginoon, na may hiyawan, at may tunog ng pakakak.
David and the Israeli men took the sacred chest up [to Jerusalem], shouting [loudly] and blowing trumpets.
16 At nagkagayon, sa pagpapasok ng kaban ng Panginoon sa bayan ni David, na si Michal na anak ni Saul ay tumitingin sa dungawan, at nakita na ang haring si David ay naglulukso at nagsasayaw sa harap ng Panginoon; at kaniyang niwalan ng kabuluhan siya sa kaniyang puso.
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 At kanilang ipinasok ang kaban ng Panginoon, at inilagay sa kaniyang dako, sa gitna ng tolda na itinayo ni David: at naghandog si David ng mga handog na susunugin at mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan sa harap ng Panginoon.
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 At nang makatapos si David na maghandog ng mga handog na susunugin at ng mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan, kaniyang binasbasan ang bayan sa pangalan ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.
When David had finished offering those sacrifices, he asked Yahweh, the Commander of the armies [of the angels], to bless the people.
19 At kaniyang binahagi sa buong bayan, sa makatuwid baga'y sa buong karamihan ng Israel, sa mga lalake at gayon din sa mga babae, sa bawa't isa ay isang tinapay at isang bahaging lamang kati, at isang binilong pasas. Sa gayo'y ang buong bayan ay yumaon bawa't isa sa kaniyang bahay.
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 Nang magkagayo'y bumalik si David upang basbasan ang kaniyang sangbahayan. At si Michal na anak ni Saul ay lumabas na sinalubong si David, at sinabi, Pagkaluwalhati ngayon ng hari sa Israel, na siya'y naghubad ngayon sa mga mata ng mga babaing lingkod ng kaniyang mga lingkod, na gaya ng naghuhubad na kahiyahiya ang isang walang kabuluhang tao.
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 At sinabi ni David kay Michal, Yao'y sa harap ng Panginoon, na siyang pumili sa akin na higit sa iyong ama, at sa buong sangbahayan niya, upang ihalal ako na prinsipe sa bayan ng Panginoon, sa Israel: kaya't ako'y tutugtog sa harap ng Panginoon.
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 At ako'y magpapakawalang kabuluhan pa kay sa yaon, at ako'y magpapakababa sa aking sariling paningin: nguni't sa mga babaing lingkod na iyong sinalita, ay pararangalan ako.
[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 At si Michal na anak ni Saul ay hindi nagkaanak hanggang sa araw ng kaniyang kamatayan.
[As a result, ] Saul’s daughter Michal never gave birth to any children.
