2 Samuel 6

1 Na Dawid boaboaa akodɔm sononko ɔpeduasa ano.

Againe Dauid gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, euen thirtie thousand,

2 Ɔdii wɔn anim firi Baala a ɛwɔ Yuda, sɛ wɔrekɔfa Onyankopɔn Adaka a ɛkura Awurade Otumfoɔ no a wɔde no asi Kerubim ntam no din.

And Dauid arose and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Iudah to bring vp from thence the Arke of God, whose name is called by the Name of the Lord, of hostes, that dwelleth vpon it betweene the Cherubims.

3 Wɔde Onyankopɔn Adaka no sii teaseɛnam foforɔ so, de firii Abinadab fie a na ɛwɔ bepɔ so no baeɛ. Usa ne Ahio a na wɔyɛ Abinadab mmammarima no na na wɔkyerɛ teaseɛnam foforɔ no

And they put the Arke of God vpon a newe cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah. And Vzzah and Ahio the sonnes of Abinadab did driue the newe carte.

4 a na Onyankopɔn Adaka no si mu no kwan. Na Ahio na ɔdi animu.

And when they brought the Arke of God out of the house of Abinadab, that was at Gibeah, Ahio went before the Arke,

5 Dawid ne Israel manfoɔ gyee wɔn ani wɔ Awurade anim wɔ ahoɔden so a wɔreto nnwom, na wɔde nsankuo, bɛnta, akasaeɛ, mfirikyiwa ne kyankyan nenam mu.

And Dauid and al the house of Israel played before the Lord on all instruments made of firre, and on harpes, and on Psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.

6 Na wɔduruu Nakon ayuporobea no, nantwie no nan totoeɛ, maa Usa tenee ne nsa sɔɔ Onyankopɔn Adaka no mu sɛ ɔretene no.

And when they came to Nachons threshing floore, Vzzah put his hande to the Arke of God, and helde it: for the oxen did shake it.

7 Na Awurade bo fuu Usa sɛ ɔyɛɛ saa, na Onyankopɔn bɔɔ no, maa ɔwu daa adaka no ho.

And the Lord was verie wroth with Vzzah, and God smote him in the same place for his fault, and there he dyed by the Arke of God.

8 Dawid nso bo fuiɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade abufuo atia Usa. Ɔtoo saa beaeɛ hɔ edin Peres-Usa a aseɛ ne abufuhyeɛ a ɛtia Usa. Wɔfrɛ hɔ saa ara de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.

And Dauid was displeased, because the Lord had smitten Vzzah: and he called the name of the place Perez Vzzah vntill this day.

9 Afei, na Dawid suro Awurade enti ɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na mɛtumi de Awurade adaka no aba me nkyɛn, na mahwɛ so?”

Therefore Dauid that day feared the Lord, and sayd, How shall the Arke of the Lord come to mee?

10 Na Dawid yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ, ɔremma Awurade Adaka no so nkɔ Dawid Kuropɔn no mu. Na mmom, ɔmaa so de kɔɔ Obed-Edom a ɔyɛ Gatni fie.

So Dauid would not bring the Arke of the Lord vnto him into the citie of Dauid, but Dauid caried it into ye house of Obed-edom a Gittite.

11 Na Awurade adaka no sii Gatni Obed-Edom fiefoɔ nkyɛn abosome mmiɛnsa, na Awurade hyiraa no ne ne fidua mu nnipa nyinaa.

And the Arke of the Lord continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite, three moneths, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom, and all his houshold.

12 Afei, wɔka kyerɛɛ ɔhene Dawid sɛ, “Esiane Awurade Adaka no enti, Awurade ahyira Obed-Edom fie ne biribiara a ɔwɔ so.” Enti, Dawid kɔɔ hɔ kɔfaa Adaka no, de osebɔ kɛseɛ baa Dawid Kuropɔn no mu.

And one told King Dauid, saying, The Lord hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that hee hath, because of the Arke of God: therefore Dauid went and brought the Arke of God from the house of Obed-edom, into the citie of Dauid with gladnesse.

13 Nnipa a Awurade Adaka no so wɔn no tuu anammɔn nsia pɛ, wɔgyinaa hɔ twɛneeɛ, sɛdeɛ Dawid bɛtumi de nantwie ne nantwie ba a wadɔre sradeɛ abɔ afɔdeɛ.

And when they that bare the Arke of the Lord had gone sixe paces, he offred an oxe, and a fatte beast.

14 Na Dawid firii nʼahoɔden nyinaa mu saa wɔ Awurade anim a na ɔhyɛ asɔfotadeɛ yuu.

And Dauid danced before the Lord with al his might, and was girded with a linnen Ephod.

15 Enti, Dawid ne Israel nyinaa de nteateam ne ntotorobɛntohyɛn maa Awurade Adaka no so kɔɔeɛ.

So Dauid and all the house of Israel, brought the Arke of the Lord with shouting, and sound of trumpet.

16 Ɛberɛ a wɔde Awurade Adaka no rewura Dawid Kuropɔn no mu no, Saulo babaa a ne din de Mikal no kɔtɛɛ mpomma mu hwɛeɛ. Ɔhunuu sɛ ɔhene Dawid rehurihuri, resa anigyeɛ so wɔ Awurade anim no, nʼani annye.

And as the Arke of the Lord came into the citie of Dauid, Michal Sauls daughter looked through a windowe, and sawe King Dauid leape, and dance before the Lord, and shee despised him in her heart.

17 Wɔde Awurade Adaka no kɔsii nʼafa wɔ ntomadan a ɛno enti, Dawid asi no mu, na Dawid bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ Awurade anim.

And when they had brought in the Arke of the Lord, they set it in his place, in the mids of the tabernacle that Dauid had pitched for it: then Dauid offred burnt offrings, and peace offrings before the Lord.

18 Ɔwieeɛ no, ɔhyiraa nnipa no wɔ Awurade Otumfoɔ din mu.

And assoone as Dauid had made an ende of offring burnt offrings and peace offrings, hee blessed the people in the Name of the Lord of hostes,

19 Afei, ɔmaa Israel dɔm no mu nnipa biara burodo mua, nankum ne bobe aba ɔfam. Na wɔn mu biara kɔɔ ne fie.

And gaue among all the people, euen among the whole multitude of Israel, aswel to the women as men, to euerie one a cake of bread, and a piece of flesh, and a bottell of wine: so all the people departed euerie one to his house.

20 Ɛberɛ a Dawid sane kɔɔ ne fie sɛ ɔrekɔhyira ne fiefoɔ no, Mikal firii adi ba bɛhyiaa no ka kyerɛɛ no abufuo so sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ deɛ, na Israelhene nsɛ ha! Ɔpaa ne ho kyerɛɛ ne mfenaa te sɛ deɛ obiara a ɔmmu ne ho bɛyɛ no ara pɛ.”

The Dauid returned to blesse his house, and Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meete Dauid, and sayde, O howe glorious was the King of Israel this day, which was vncouered to day in the eyes of the maidens of his seruantes, as a foole vncouereth himselfe.

21 Dawid buaa Mikal sɛ, “Na meresa wɔ Awurade a ɔyii me, na ɔtwaa wʼagya ne nʼabusuafoɔ gyaeɛ no anim. Ɔyii me sɛ menyɛ Israel a wɔyɛ Awurade nkurɔfoɔ ɔkannifoɔ. Ɛno enti, ɛyɛ me pɛ sɛ meyɛ me ho sɛ ɔkwasea, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma makyerɛ mʼahokeka a mewɔ wɔ Awurade mu.

Then Dauid sayd vnto Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose me rather then thy father, and all his house, and commanded me to bee ruler ouer the people of the Lord, euen ouer Israel: and therefore will I play before the Lord,

22 Aane, na mepɛ sɛ meyɛ ɔkwasea koraa sene yei, na mmaayewa korɔ yi ara a woreka wɔn ho asɛm yi bɛhyɛ me animuonyam.”

And will yet be more vile then thus, and will be low in mine owne sight, and of the verie same maidseruants, which thou hast spoken of, shall I be had in honour.

23 Na Saulo babaa Mikal anwo ba da wɔ ne nkwa nna nyinaa.

Therfore Michal the daughter of Saul had no childe vnto the day of her death.
