2 Samuel 6

1 AGAIN, David 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 that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the Lord of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.

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 upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new 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 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before 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 house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on 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 Nachon’s threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.

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 the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of 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 the Lord had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perez-uzzah 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 the Lord that day, and said, How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?

E temeu David ao Senhor naquele dia; e disse: Como virá a mim a arca do Senhor?

10 So David would not remove the ark of the Lord unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into 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 the Lord continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and the Lord blessed Obed-edom, and all his household.

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, The Lord hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.

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 they that bare the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

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 the Lord with all his might; and David was girded with 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 the Lord 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 And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; 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 the Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.

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 as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.

E acabando David de oferecer os holocaustos e ofertas pacíficas, abençoou o povo em nome do Senhor dos exércitos.

19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one 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 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth 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 unto Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel: therefore will I play before the Lord.

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 yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

E ainda mais do que isto me envilecerei, e me humilharei aos meus olhos: e das servas, de quem falaste, delas serei honrado.

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

E Michal, a filha de Saul, não teve filhos, até ao dia da sua morte.
