2 Samuel 6

1 David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

Na Dawid boaboaa Israel mmabun a wɔn ho mmu wɔn dwɛ mpem aduasa ano.

2 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 Yahweh of Armies who sits above the cherubim.

Odii wɔn anim fi Baala a ɛwɔ Yuda, sɛ wɔrekɔfa Onyankopɔn Adaka, a ekura Awurade Tumfo no a wɔde no asi kerubim ntam no din.

3 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.

Wɔde Onyankopɔn Adaka no sii teaseɛnam foforo so, de fii Abinadab fi a na ɛwɔ bepɔw so no bae. Usa ne Ahio a na wɔyɛ Abinadab mmabarima no na na wɔkyerɛ teaseɛnam foforo no

4 They brought it out of Abinadab’s house which was in the hill, with God’s ark; and Ahio went before the ark.

a na Onyankopɔn Adaka no si mu no kwan. Na Ahio na odi anim.

5 David and all the house of Israel played before Yahweh with all kinds of instruments made of cypress wood, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with castanets, and with cymbals.

Dawid ne Israel manfo gyee wɔn ani wɔ Awurade anim wɔ ahoɔden so a wɔreto nnwom, na wɔde asanku, mmɛnta, akasae, mfirikyiwa ne kyɛnkyɛn nenam mu.

6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached for God’s ark and took hold of it, for the cattle stumbled.

Na woduu Nakon awiporowbea no, nantwi no nan totoe, maa Usa teɛɛ ne nsa soo Onyankopɔn Adaka no mu sɛ ɔreteɛ no.

7 Yahweh’s anger burned against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by God’s ark.

Na Awurade bo fuw Usa sɛ ɔyɛɛ saa, na Onyankopɔn bɔɔ no ma owu daa adaka no ho.

8 David was displeased because Yahweh had broken out against Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah to this day.

Dawid nso bo fuw, efisɛ Awurade abufuw atia Usa. Ɔtoo saa beae hɔ din Peres-Usa a ase ne abufuwhyew a etia Usa. Wɔfrɛ hɔ saa ara de besi nnɛ.

9 David was afraid of Yahweh that day; and he said, “How could Yahweh’s ark come to me?”

Afei, na Dawid suro Awurade nti obisaa se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na Awurade adaka no bɛba me nkyɛn?”

10 So David would not move Yahweh’s ark to be with him in David’s city; but David carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.

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 fi.

11 Yahweh’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.

Na Awurade adaka no sii Gatni Obed-Edom fifo nkyɛn asram abiɛsa, na Awurade hyiraa no ne ne fi mu nnipa nyinaa.

12 King David was told, “Yahweh 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.

Afei, wɔka kyerɛɛ ɔhene Dawid se, “Esiane Awurade Adaka no nti, Awurade ahyira Obed-Edom fi ne biribiara a ɔwɔ so.” Enti Dawid kɔɔ hɔ kɔfaa Adaka no, de osebɔ kɛse baa Dawid Kuropɔn no mu.

13 When those who bore Yahweh’s ark had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.

Nnipa a na wɔso Awurade Adaka no tuu anammɔn asia pɛ, wogyinaa hɔ twɛnee, sɛnea Dawid betumi de nantwi ne nantwi ba a wadɔ srade abɔ afɔre.

14 David danced before Yahweh with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.

Na Dawid fii nʼahoɔden nyinaa mu saw wɔ Awurade anim a na ɔhyɛ asɔfotade yuu.

15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up Yahweh’s ark with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.

Enti Dawid ne Israel nyinaa de nteɛteɛmu ne ntorobɛntohyɛn maa Awurade Adaka no so kɔe.

16 As Yahweh’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 Yahweh; and she despised him in her heart.

Bere a wɔde Awurade Adaka no rewura Dawid Kuropɔn no mu no, Saulo babea a ne din de Mikal no kɔtɛwee mfɛnsere mu hwɛe. Ohuu sɛ ɔhene Dawid rehuruhuruw, resaw anigye so wɔ Awurade anim no, nʼani annye.

17 They brought in Yahweh’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 Yahweh.

Wɔde Awurade Adaka no kosii nʼafa wɔ ntamadan a ɛno nti, Dawid asi no mu, na Dawid bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre wɔ Awurade anim.

18 When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh of Armies.

Owiei no, ohyiraa nkurɔfo no wɔ Asafo Awurade din mu.

19 He gave to all the people, even among 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.

Afei, ɔmaa Israel dɔm no mu onipa biara brodo mua, namkum ne bobe aba ɔfam. Na wɔn mu biara kɔɔ ne fi.

20 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!”

Bere a Dawid san kɔɔ ne fi sɛ ɔrekohyira ne fifo no, Mikal fii adi ba behyiaa no ka kyerɛɛ no abufuw so se, “Nnɛ de, na Israelhene nsɛ ha! Ɔpaa ne ho kyerɛɛ ne mfenaa te sɛ nea obiara a ommu ne ho bɛyɛ no ara pɛ.”

21 David said to Michal, “It was before Yahweh, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of Yahweh, over Israel. Therefore I will celebrate before Yahweh.

Dawid buaa Mikal se, “Na meresaw wɔ Awurade a oyii me, na otwaa wʼagya ne nʼabusuafo gyawee no anim. Oyii me sɛ menyɛ Israel a wɔyɛ Awurade nkurɔfo ɔkannifo. Ɛno nti, ɛyɛ me pɛ sɛ meyɛ me ho sɛ ɔkwasea, sɛnea ɛbɛma makyerɛ mʼahokeka a mewɔ wɔ Awurade mu.

22 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 honor me.”

Yiw, na mepɛ sɛ meyɛ ɔkwasea koraa sen eyi, na mmeawa koro yi ara a woreka wɔn ho asɛm yi bɛhyɛ me anuonyam.”

23 Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.

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