< 2 Samuela 6 >

1 Pea naʻe toe tānaki fakataha ʻe Tevita ʻae kau ongoongoa ʻi ʻIsileli, ko e toko tolu mano.
David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Tevita, pea ne ʻalu ia mo e kakai naʻe ʻiate ia mei Peali ʻi Siuta, ke ʻomi mei ai ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku fakahingoa ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe selupimi.
David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale Judah, to bring up from there God’s ark, which is called by the Name, even the name of the LORD of Hosts who sits above the cherubim.
3 Pea naʻa nau fakaheka ʻae puha ʻoe ʻOtua ki he saliote foʻou, ʻonau ʻomi ia ki he fale ʻo ʻApinatapi ʻaia naʻe ʻi Kipea: pea naʻe fakahinohinoʻi ʻae saliote foʻou ʻe Usa mo ʻAhio ko e ongo foha ʻo ʻApinatapi.
They set God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house that was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4 Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia kituʻa mei he fale ʻo ʻApinatapi ʻaia naʻe ʻi Kipea: ʻonau ō mo e puha ʻoe ʻOtua; pea naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻa ʻAhio ʻi he puha.
They brought it out of Abinadab’s house which was in the hill, with God’s ark; and Ahio went before the ark.
5 Pea naʻe tā ʻe Tevita mo e fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi meʻa faiva kehekehe naʻe [ngaohi ]mei he ʻakau ko e paini, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi haʻape mo e ʻūtete, mo e lali iiki, mo e meʻa ifi, mo e simipale.
David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD with all kinds of instruments made of cypress wood, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with castanets, and with cymbals.
6 Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko mai ki he potu hahaʻanga uite ʻo Nakoni, naʻe ala atu ʻe Usa ki he puha ʻoe ʻOtua, mo ne puke ki ai, koeʻuhi naʻe fakangalulu ia ʻe he fanga pulu.
When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached for God’s ark and took hold of it, for the cattle stumbled.
7 Pea naʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova kia Usa; pea naʻe taaʻi ia ʻi ai ʻe he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai hala; pea naʻa ne mate ʻi he potu ko ia ʻo ofi ki he puha ʻoe ʻOtua.
The LORD’s anger burnt against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by God’s ark.
8 Pea naʻe ʻita ʻa Tevita koeʻuhi ko e teʻia ʻa Usa ʻe Sihova: pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ʻae potu ko ia ko Pelesi-Usa, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
David was displeased because the LORD had broken out against Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah to this day.
9 Pea naʻe manavahē ʻa Tevita kia Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, mo ne pehē, “ʻE ʻomi fakafēfē ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova kiate au?”
David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, “How could the LORD’s ark come to me?”
10 Ko ia naʻe ʻikai loto ʻa Tevita ke ʻomi kiate ia ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita: ka naʻe ʻave ʻo afe ʻaki ia ʻe Tevita ki he fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi ko e tangata Kati.
So David would not move the LORD’s ark to be with him in David’s city; but David carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.
11 Pea naʻe nofo ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ʻi he fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi ko e tangata Kati ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu: pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻOpeti-ʻItomi, pea mo hono kaungā fale kotoa pē.
The LORD’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and the LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.
12 Pea naʻe fakahā kia Tevita, ʻo pehē, Kuo fakamonūʻia ʻae fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana, koeʻuhi ko e puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua. Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Tevita ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae puha ʻoe ʻOtua mei he fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita, mo e fiefia.
King David was told, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that belongs to him, because of God’s ark.” So David went and brought up God’s ark from the house of Obed-Edom into David’s city with joy.
13 Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he Lakaatu ʻakinautolu naʻe fua ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ʻi he lakaʻanga ʻe ono, naʻa ne feilaulau ʻaki ʻae fanga pulu mo e fanga manu sino.
When those who bore the LORD’s ark had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
14 Pea naʻe meʻe ʻa Tevita ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻaki ʻa ʻene mālohi kātoa; pea naʻe kofuʻaki ʻa Tevita ʻae ʻefoti ʻoe tupenu lelei.
David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.
15 Ko ia naʻe ʻomi ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ʻe Tevita mo e fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he kalanga, mo e ifi ʻaki ʻae meʻalea.
So David and all the house of Israel brought up the LORD’s ark with shouting and with the sound of the shofar.
16 Pea ʻi heʻene hoko atu ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita, naʻe sio ʻa Mikale ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula mei he kātupa, pea ne mamata kia Tevita naʻe hopo mo meʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; pea naʻa ne manuki ia ʻi hono loto.
As the LORD’s ark came into David’s city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out through the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
17 Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ki loto ʻae puha ʻo Sihova, ʻo tuku ia ki hono potu, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ki ai ʻe Tevita: pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
They brought in the LORD’s ark, and set it in its place in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
18 Pea ʻi heʻene hili leva ʻae ʻatu ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, naʻa ne tāpuaki ʻae kakai ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi.
When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Hosts.
19 Pea naʻa ne tufaki atu ki he kakai kotoa pē, ki he fuʻu tokolahi kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he kau fefine pea mo e kakai tangata, ko e taki taha ha foʻi mā, mo ha konga lahi ʻoe kanomate, mo ha hina uaine. Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo taki taha ki hono fale ʻoʻona.
He gave to all the people, even amongst the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, dates, and raisins. So all the people departed, each to his own house.
20 Hili ia naʻe foki mai ʻa Tevita ke tāpuakiʻi ʻa hono kaungā nofoʻanga. Pea naʻe haʻu kituʻa ʻa Mikale ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula, ke ne fetaulaki mo Tevita, mo ne pehē ʻe ia, “Hono ʻikai ngalingali ʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli he ʻaho ni, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatelefuaʻi ia he ʻaho ni ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau fefine ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko e fakatelefua ʻoku fai ʻe ha tokotaha ʻoku fakalaukau mo e taʻeangamā!”
Then David returned to bless his household. Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”
21 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Mikale, “[Naʻe fai ia ʻi ]he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fili au ʻi he ʻao ʻo hoʻo tamai mo e ʻao ʻo hono fale kotoa pē, ke ne fakanofo au ko e pule ki he kakai ʻo Sihova, ki ʻIsileli: ko ia te u fakafiefia ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
David said to Michal, “It was before the LORD, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of the LORD, over Israel. Therefore I will celebrate before the LORD.
22 Pea te u fai ke u mata kovi lahi hake ʻi he meʻa ni, pea te u matamata kovi ʻi hoku ʻao ʻoʻoku: pea ko e kau kaunanga kuo ke lea ki ai, ʻe fakahikihiki au ʻekinautolu.”
I will be yet more undignified than this, and will be worthless in my own sight. But the maids of whom you have spoken will honour me.”
23 Ko ia naʻe ʻikai fānau ai ha tamasiʻi ʻe Mikale ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene pekia.
Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
