2 Samuel 6

1 Na Dawid boaboaa akodɔm sononko ɔpeduasa ano.

And again David gathered every chosen one in Israel—thirty 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 David rises and goes, and all the people who [are] with him, from Ba‘ale-Judah, to bring up the Ark of God from there, whose name has been called—the Name of YHWH of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubim—on it.

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 cause the Ark of God to ride on a new cart, and lift it up from the house of Abinadab, which [is] in the height, and Uzzah and Ahio sons of Abinadab are leading the new cart;

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

and they lift it up from the house of Abinadab, which [is] in the height, with the Ark of God, and Ahio is going before the Ark,

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 David and all the house of Israel are playing before YHWH, with all kinds of [instruments] of fir-wood, even with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with horns, and with 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 they come to the threshing-floor of Nachon, and Uzzah puts forth [his hand] to the Ark of God, and lays hold on it, for they released the oxen;

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

and the anger of YHWH burns against Uzzah, and God strikes him there for the error, and he dies there by the Ark 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 it is displeasing to David, because that YHWH has broken forth a breach on Uzzah, and [one] calls that place Perez-Uzzah to 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?”

and David fears YHWH on that day and says, “How does the Ark of YHWH come to me?”

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.

And David has not been willing to turn aside the Ark of YHWH to himself, to the City of David, and David turns it aside to the house of Obed-Edom the 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 Ark of YHWH inhabits the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite [for] three months, and YHWH blesses Obed-Edom and all his house.

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 it is declared to King David, saying, “YHWH has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he has, because of the Ark of God”; and David goes and brings up the Ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with joy.

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 it comes to pass, when those carrying the Ark of YHWH have stepped six steps, that he sacrifices an ox and a fatling.

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

And David is dancing with all [his] strength before YHWH, and David is girded with a linen ephod,

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

and David and all the house of Israel are bringing up the Ark of YHWH with shouting, and with the voice of a horn,

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 it has come to pass, the Ark of YHWH has come into the City of David, and Michal daughter of Saul has looked through the window and sees King David moving and dancing before YHWH, and she despises 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 they bring in the Ark of YHWH, and set it up in its place, in the midst of the tent which David has spread out for it, and David causes burnt-offerings and peace-offerings to ascend before YHWH.

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

And David finishes from causing the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings to ascend, and blesses the people in the Name of YHWH of Hosts,

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

and he apportions to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, from man and to woman, to each, one cake of bread, and one eshpar, and one ashisha, and all the people go, each 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.”

And David turns back to bless his house, and Michal daughter of Saul goes out to meet David and says, “How honorable was the king of Israel today, who was uncovered today before the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain ones is openly uncovered!”

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.

And David says to Michal, “Before YHWH, who fixed on me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me leader over the people of YHWH, and over Israel—indeed, I played before YHWH;

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 I have been more vile than this, and have been low in my eyes, and with the handmaids whom you have spoken of, I am honored with them.”

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

As for Michal daughter of Saul, she had no child until the day of her death.
