صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 6

١ 1 وَجَمَعَ دَاوُدُ أَيْضًا جَمِيعَ ٱلْمُنْتَخَبِينَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا.

And David again gathered all the young men of Israel, about seventy thousand.

٢ 2 وَقَامَ دَاوُدُ وَذَهَبَ هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ مِنْ بَعَلَةِ يَهُوذَا، لِيُصْعِدُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ، ٱلَّذِي يُدْعَى عَلَيْهِ بِٱلٱسْمِ، ٱسْمِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ.

And David arose, and went, he and all the people that were with him, and some of the rulers of Juda, on an expedition [to a distant place], to bring back thence the ark of God, on which the name of the Lord of Host who dwells between the cherubs upon it is called.

٣ 3 فَأَرْكَبُوا تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ عَلَى عَجَلَةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ، وَحَمَلُوهُ مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِينَادَابَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْأَكَمَةِ. وَكَانَ عُزَّةُ وَأَخِيُو، ٱبْنَا أَبِينَادَابَ يَسُوقَانِ ٱلْعَجَلَةَ ٱلْجَدِيدَةَ.

And they put the ark of the Lord on a new waggon, and took it out of the house of Aminadab who lived on the hill, and Oza and his brethren the sons of Aminadab drove the waggon with the ark.

٤ 4 فَأَخَذُوهَا مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِينَادَابَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْأَكَمَةِ مَعَ تَابُوتِ ٱللهِ. وَكَانَ أَخِيُو يَسِيرُ أَمَامَ ٱلتَّابُوتِ،

And his brethren went before the ark.

٥ 5 وَدَاوُدُ وَكُلُّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَلْعَبُونَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ بِكُلِّ أَنْوَاعِ ٱلْآلَاتِ مِنْ خَشَبِ ٱلسَّرْوِ، بِٱلْعِيدَانِ وَبِالرَّبَابِ وَبِالدُّفُوفِ وَبِالْجُنُوكِ وَبِالصُّنُوجِ.

And David and the children of Israel [were] playing before the Lord on well-tuned instruments mightily, and with songs, and with harps, and with lutes, and with drums, and with cymbals, and with pipes.

٦ 6 وَلَمَّا ٱنْتَهَوْا إِلَى بَيْدَرِ نَاخُونَ مَدَّ عُزَّةُ يَدَهُ إِلَى تَابُوتِ ٱللهِ وَأَمْسَكَهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلثِّيرَانَ ٱنْشَمَصَتْ.

And they come as far as the threshing floor of Nachor: and Oza reached forth his hand to the ark of God to keep it steady, and took hold of it; for the ox shook it out of its place.

٧ 7 فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى عُزَّةَ، وَضَرَبَهُ ٱللهُ هُنَاكَ لِأَجْلِ غَفَلِهِ، فَمَاتَ هُنَاكَ لَدَى تَابُوتِ ٱللهِ.

And the Lord was very angry with Oza; and God struck him there: and he died there by the ark of the Lord before God.

٨ 8 فَٱغْتَاظَ دَاوُدُ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱقْتَحَمَ عُزَّةَ ٱقْتِحَامًا، وَسَمَّى ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ «فَارِصَ عُزَّةَ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

And David was dispirited because the Lord made a breach upon Oza; and that place was called the breach of Oza until this day.

٩ 9 وَخَافَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَقَالَ: «كَيْفَ يَأْتِي إِلَيَّ تَابُوتُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟»

And David feared the Lord in that day, saying, How shall the ark of the Lord come in to me?

١٠ 10 وَلَمْ يَشَأْ دَاوُدُ أَنْ يَنْقُلَ تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيْهِ، إِلَى مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، فَمَالَ بِهِ دَاوُدُ إِلَى بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ ٱلْجَتِّيِّ.

And David would not bring in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to himself into the city of David: and David turned it aside into the house of Abeddara the Gethite.

١١ 11 وَبَقِيَ تَابُوتُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ ٱلْجَتِّيِّ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. وَبَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ وَكُلَّ بَيْتِهِ.

And the ark of the Lord lodged in the house of Abeddara the Gethite three months, and the Lord blessed all the house of Abeddara, and all his possessions.

١٢ 12 فَأُخْبِرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «قَدْ بَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْتَ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ، وَكُلَّ مَا لَهُ بِسَبَبِ تَابُوتِ ٱللهِ». فَذَهَبَ دَاوُدُ وَأَصْعَدَ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ مِنْ بَيْتِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ بِفَرَحٍ.

And it was reported to king David, saying, The Lord has blessed the house of Abeddara, and all that he has, because of the ark of the Lord. And David went, and brought up the Ark of the Lord from the house of Abeddara to the city of David with gladness.

١٣ 13 وَكَانَ كُلَّمَا خَطَا حَامِلُو تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ سِتَّ خَطَوَاتٍ يَذْبَحُ ثَوْرًا وَعِجْلًا مَعْلُوفًا.

And there were with him bearing the ark seven bands, and for a sacrifice a calf and lambs.

١٤ 14 وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَرْقُصُ بِكُلِّ قُوَّتِهِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ مُتَنَطِّقًا بِأَفُودٍ مِنْ كَتَّانٍ.

And David sounded with well-tuned instruments before the Lord, and David [was] clothed with a fine long robe.

١٥ 15 فَأَصْعَدَ دَاوُدُ وَجَمِيعُ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ بِٱلْهُتَافِ وَبِصَوْتِ ٱلْبُوقِ.

And David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of a trumpet.

١٦ 16 وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ تَابُوتُ ٱلرَّبِّ مَدِينَةَ دَاوُدَ، أَشْرَفَتْ مِيكَالُ بِنْتُ شَاوُلَ مِنَ ٱلْكُوَّةِ وَرَأَتِ ٱلْمَلِكَ دَاوُدَ يَطْفُرُ وَيَرْقُصُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَٱحْتَقَرَتْهُ فِي قَلْبِهَا.

And it came to pass as the ark arrived at the city of David, that Melchol the daughter of Saul looked through the window, and saw king David dancing and playing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

١٧ 17 فَأَدْخَلُوا تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَوْقَفُوهُ فِي مَكَانِهِ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ ٱلَّتِي نَصَبَهَا لَهُ دَاوُدُ. وَأَصْعَدَ دَاوُدُ مُحْرَقَاتٍ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ.

And they bring the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle which David pitched for it: and David offered whole burnt offerings before the Lord, [and] peace-offerings.

١٨ 18 وَلَمَّا ٱنْتَهَى دَاوُدُ مِنْ إِصْعَادِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَذَبَائِحِ ٱلسَّلَامَةِ بَارَكَ ٱلشَّعْبَ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ.

And David made an end of offering the whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings, and blessed the people in the name of the Lord of Hosts.

١٩ 19 وَقَسَمَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، عَلَى كُلِّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ رِجَالًا وَنِسَاءً، عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ رَغِيفَ خُبْزٍ وَكَأْسَ خَمْرٍ وَقُرْصَ زَبِيبٍ. ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ،

And he distributed to all the people, even to all the host of Israel from Dan to Bersabee, both men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a joint of meat, and a cake from the frying-pan: and all the people departed every one to his home.

٢٠ 20 وَرَجَعَ دَاوُدُ لِيُبَارِكَ بَيْتَهُ. فَخَرَجَتْ مِيكَالُ بِنْتُ شَاوُلَ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِ دَاوُدَ، وَقَالَتْ: «مَا كَانَ أَكْرَمَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْيَوْمَ، حَيْثُ تَكَشَّفَ ٱلْيَوْمَ فِي أَعْيُنِ إِمَاءِ عَبِيدِهِ كَمَا يَتَكَشَّفُ أَحَدُ ٱلسُّفَهَاءِ».

And David returned to bless his house. And Melchol the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and saluted him, and said, How was the king of Israel glorified today, who was today uncovered in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the dancers wantonly uncovers himself!

٢١ 21 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِمِيكَالَ: «إِنَّمَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَارَنِي دُونَ أَبِيكِ وَدُونَ كُلَّ بَيْتِهِ لِيُقِيمَنِي رَئِيسًا عَلَى شَعْبِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَلَعِبْتُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And David said to Melchol, I will dance before the Lord. Blessed [be] the Lord who chose me before your father, and before all his house, to make me head over his people, even over Israel: therefore I will play, and dance before the Lord.

٢٢ 22 وَإِنِّي أَتَصَاغَرُ دُونَ ذَلِكَ وَأَكُونُ وَضِيعًا فِي عَيْنَيْ نَفْسِي، وَأَمَّا عِنْدَ ٱلْإِمَاءِ ٱلَّتِي ذَكَرْتِ فَأَتَمَجَّدُ».

And I will again uncover myself thus, and I will be vile in your eyes, and with the maidservants by whom you said that I was not had in honor.

٢٣ 23 وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِمِيكَالَ بِنْتِ شَاوُلَ وَلَدٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ مَوْتِهَا.

And Melchol the daughter of Saul had no child till the day of her death.
