< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
E tornou David a ajuntar todos os escolhidos de Israel, em número de trinta mil.
2 And David arose, and went with all the people who were with him to Baalah, that is, Kiriath Jearim of Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called there by the name of Jehovah of hosts enthroned on the cherubim.
E levantou-se David, e partiu com todo o povo que tinha consigo de Baalim de Judá, para levarem dali para cima a arca de Deus, sobre a qual se invoca o nome, o nome do Senhor dos exércitos, que se assenta entre os cherubins.
3 And they set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was on the hill. And Uzza and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, guided the cart
E puseram a arca de Deus em um carro novo, e a levaram da casa de Abinadab, que está em Gibeah: e Uza e Ahio, filhos de Abinadab, guiavam o carro novo.
4 with the ark; and Ahio was walking in front of the ark.
E levando-o da casa de Abinadab, que está em Gibeah, com a arca de Deus, Ahio ia diante da arca.
5 And David and all the children of Israel played before Jehovah with all their strength and with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with castanets, and with cymbals.
E David, e toda a casa de Israel, fazia alegrias perante o Senhor, com toda a sorte de instrumentos de pau de faia: como com harpas, e com saltérios, e com tamboris, e com pandeiros, e com címbalos.
6 And when they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzza reached out his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the cattle stumbled.
E, chegando à eira de Nachon, estendeu Uza a mão à arca de Deus, e teve mão nela; porque os bois a deixavam pender.
7 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzza; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died before God.
Então a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra Uza, e Deus o feriu ali por esta imprudência: e morreu ali junto à arca de Deus.
8 And David was displeased, because Jehovah had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.
E David se contristou, porque o Senhor abrira rotura em Uza; e chamou aquele lugar Peres-uza, até ao dia de hoje.
9 And David was afraid of Jehovah that day; and he said, "How can the ark of God come to me?" Now the ark of Jehovah arrived,
E temeu David ao Senhor naquele dia; e disse: Como virá a mim a arca do Senhor?
10 but David was not willing to move the ark of Jehovah with him to the City of David; so David diverted it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
E não quis David retirar a si a arca do Senhor à cidade de David; mas David a fez levar à casa de Obed-edom, o getheu.
11 And the ark of Jehovah remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months, and Jehovah blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.
E ficou a arca do Senhor em casa de Obed-Edom, o getheu, três meses: e abençoou o Senhor a Obed-edom, e a toda a sua casa.
12 And it was told king David, saying, "Jehovah has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him because of the ark of God." And David said, "I will bring back the blessing to my house." And David went and brought up the ark of Jehovah from the house of Obed-Edom into the City of David with joy.
Então avisaram a David, dizendo: Abençoou o Senhor a casa de Obed-Edom, e tudo quanto tem, por amor da arca de Deus; foi pois David, e trouxe a arca de Deus para cima, da casa de Obed-edom, à cidade de David, com alegria.
13 And it was so, that, when those who bore the ark of Jehovah had gone six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
E sucedeu que, quando os que levavam a arca do Senhor tinham dado seis passos, sacrificava bois e carneiros cevados.
14 And David danced before Jehovah with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.
E David saltava com todas as suas forças diante do Senhor: e estava David cingido dum éfode de linho.
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
Assim subindo, levavam David e todo o Israel a arca do Senhor, com júbilo, e ao som das trombetas.
16 Now, as the ark of Jehovah was entering into the City of David, Mikal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before Jehovah; and she despised him in her heart.
E sucedeu que, entrando a arca do Senhor na cidade de David, Michal, a filha de Saul, estava olhando pela janela: e, vendo ao rei David, que ia bailando e saltando diante do Senhor, o desprezou no seu coração.
17 And they brought in the ark of Jehovah, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had set up for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Jehovah.
E introduzindo a arca do Senhor, a puseram no seu lugar, na tenda que David lhe armara: e ofereceu David holocaustos e ofertas pacíficas perante o Senhor.
18 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah of hosts.
E acabando David de oferecer os holocaustos e ofertas pacíficas, abençoou o povo em nome do Senhor dos exércitos.
19 And he gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. So all the people departed everyone to his house.
E repartiu a todo o povo, e a toda a multidão de Israel, desde os homens até às mulheres, a cada um, um bolo de pão, e um bom pedaço de carne, e um frasco de vinho; então foi-se todo o povo, cada um para sua casa.
20 And then David returned to bless his household. Mikal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David. And she greeted him, and said, "How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself."
E, voltando David para abençoar a sua casa, Michal, a filha de Saul, saiu a encontrar-se com David, e disse: Quão honrado foi o rei de Israel, descobrindo-se hoje aos olhos das servas de seus servos, como sem pejo se descobre qualquer dos vadios.
21 And David said to Mikal, "I was dancing before Jehovah. Blessed be Jehovah, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of Jehovah, over Israel; therefore I will celebrate before Jehovah.
Disse porém David a Michal: Perante o Senhor, que me escolheu a mim antes do que a teu pai, e a toda a sua casa, mandando-me que fosse chefe sobre o povo do Senhor, sobre Israel: perante o Senhor tenho feito alegrias.
22 And I will be yet more vile than this, and will be lowly in your eyes. But of the handmaids of whom you have spoken, they shall honor me."
E ainda mais do que isto me envilecerei, e me humilharei aos meus olhos: e das servas, de quem falaste, delas serei honrado.
23 And Mikal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
E Michal, a filha de Saul, não teve filhos, até ao dia da sua morte.
