< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 E Davi voltou a juntar todos os escolhidos de Israel, trinta mil.
And David again gathered all the young men of Israel, about seventy thousand.
2 E levantou-se Davi, e foi com todo o povo que tinha consigo, de Baal de Judá, para fazer passar dali a arca de Deus, sobre a qual era invocado o nome do SENHOR dos exércitos, que mora nela entre os querubins.
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.
3 E puseram a arca de Deus sobre um carro novo, e levaram-na da casa de Abinadabe, que estava em Gibeá: e Uzá e Aiô, filhos de Abinadabe, guiavam o carro novo.
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.
4 E quando o levavam da casa de Abinadabe que estava em Gibeá, com a arca de Deus, Aiô ia diante da arca.
And his brethren went before the ark.
5 E Davi e toda a casa de Israel dançavam diante do SENHOR com toda sorte de instrumentos de madeira de faia; com harpas, saltérios, adufes, flautas e címbalos.
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.
6 E quando chegaram à eira de Nacom, Uzá estendeu a mão à arca de Deus, e segurou-a; porque os bois a sacudiam.
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.
7 E o furor do SENHOR se acendeu contra Uzá, e feriu-o ali Deus por aquela imprudência, e caiu ali morto junto à arca de Deus.
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.
8 E entristeceu-se Davi por o SENHOR ter ferido a Uzá: e foi chamado aquele lugar Perez-Uzá, até hoje.
And David was dispirited because the Lord made a breach upon Oza; and that place was called the breach of Oza until this day.
9 E temendo Davi ao SENHOR aquele dia, disse: Como há de vir a mim a arca do SENHOR?
And David feared the Lord in that day, saying, How shall the ark of the Lord come in to me?
10 Não quis, pois, Davi trazer a si a arca do SENHOR à cidade de Davi; mas levou-a Davi à casa de Obede-Edom geteu.
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.
11 E a arca do SENHOR esteve na casa de Obede-Edom geteu três meses: e abençoou o SENHOR a Obede-Edom e a toda sua casa.
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.
12 E foi dado aviso ao rei Davi, dizendo: o SENHOR abençoou a casa de Obede-Edom, e tudo o que tem, por causa da arca de Deus. Então Davi foi, e trouxe a arca de Deus de casa de Obede-Edom à cidade de Davi com alegria.
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.
13 E quando os que levavam a arca de Deus haviam andado seis desfiladeiros, sacrificavam um boi e um carneiro gordo.
And there were with him bearing the ark seven bands, and for a sacrifice a calf and lambs.
14 E Davi saltava com toda sua força diante do SENHOR; e tinha vestido Davi um éfode de linho.
And David sounded with well-tuned instruments before the Lord, and David [was] clothed with a fine long robe.
15 Assim Davi e toda a casa de Israel levavam a arca do SENHOR com júbilo e som de trombeta.
And David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of a trumpet.
16 E quando a arca do SENHOR chegou à cidade de Davi, aconteceu que Mical filha de Saul olhou desde uma janela, e viu ao rei Davi que saltava com toda sua força diante do SENHOR: e menosprezou-lhe em seu coração.
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.
17 Meteram, pois, a arca do SENHOR, e puseram-na em seu lugar em meio de uma tenda que Davi lhe havia estendido: e sacrificou Davi holocaustos e pacíficos diante do SENHOR.
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.
18 E quando Davi acabou de oferecer os holocaustos e pacíficos, abençoou ao povo no nome do SENHOR dos exércitos.
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.
19 E repartiu a todo aquele povo, e a toda a multidão de Israel, tanto a homens como a mulheres, a cada um uma torta de pão, e um pedaço de carne, e um frasco de vinho. E foi-se todo aquele povo, cada um à sua casa.
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.
20 Voltou logo Davi para abençoar sua casa: e saindo Mical a receber a Davi, disse: Quão honrado foi hoje o rei de Israel, desnudando-se hoje diante das criadas de seus servos, como se desnudasse um vulgar!
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!
21 Então Davi respondeu a Mical: Diante do SENHOR, que me preferiu a teu pai e a toda sua casa, mandando-me que fosse príncipe sobre o povo do SENHOR, sobre Israel, dançarei diante do SENHOR.
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.
22 E ainda me farei mais vil que esta vez, e serei baixo em meus próprios olhos; e diante das criadas que disseste, diante delas serei honrado.
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.
23 E Mical filha de Saul nunca teve filhos até o dia de sua morte.
And Melchol the daughter of Saul had no child till the day of her death.
