2 Samuel 6
1 Again, David gathered together all [the] chosen [men] of Israel, thirty thousand.
Endå eingong stemnde David saman alt det utvalde mannskapet i Israel: tretti tusund mann.
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.
Og David gav seg på veg, og drog ut med alt sitt folk frå Ba’ale-Juda, og førde derifrå Guds kista, som heiter etter Herren, allhers drott, han som tronar på kerubarne.
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.
Dei sette Guds kista på ei ny vogn og førde henne frå Abinadabs hus på haugen. Og Uzza og Ahjo Abinadabs-søner køyrde den nye vogni.
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.
Soleis førde dei Guds kista burt frå Abinadabs hus på haugen, med di dei fylgde henne, og Ahjo gjekk fyre kista.
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.
David og heile Israels-ætti leika for Herren, til alle slag spel av cypresstre, til cithrar, harpor, trummor, bjøllor og cymblar.
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].
Då dei kom burtimot treskjestaden åt Nakon, tok Uzza tak med henderne i Guds kista og heldt fast i henne, av di uksarne snåva.
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.
Då loga Herrens harm upp mot Uzza. Og Gud slo honom for det brotet skuld. Og han fekk sin bane der attmed Guds kista.
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.
David vart ille ved av di Herren øydelagde Uzza. Og den staden heite Peres-Uzza den dag i dag.
9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?
Men David vart so rædd for Herren den dagen, at han sagde: «Kor kann eg våga føra Herrens kista upp til meg!»
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.
Difor vilde ikkje David flytja Herrens kista upp til Davidsbyen, men let deim setja henne inn i huset åt gatiten Obed-Edom.
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.
So stod Herrens kista der i tri månader. Og Herren velsigna Obed-Edom og heile hans hus.
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.
Då kong David spurde at Herren velsigna huset åt Obed-Edom og all hans eigedom for Guds kista skuld, drog David av stad og flutta Guds kista derifrå og upp til Davidsbyen med stor fagnad.
13 And it was [so], that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
Då dei som bar Herrens kista, hadde gjenge seks stig, ofra han ein ukse og ein gjødkalv.
14 And David danced before the LORD with all [his] might; and David [was] girded with a linen ephod.
David sjølv dansa av all magt framfor Herren i ein messehakel av lin.
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.
Soleis henta David og heile Israels-ætti Herrens kista dit upp med fagnadrop og lurljod.
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.
Då Herrens kista kom inn i Davidsbyen, stod Mikal Saulsdotter og såg ut igjenom vindauga. Då ho fekk sjå kong David sprang og dansa framfor Herren, då fekk ho vanvyrdnad for honom i sitt hjarta.
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.
Då dei hadde ført Herrens kista upp, sette dei henne på sin stad midt i det tjeldet som David hadde reist åt henne. David ofra brennoffer og takkoffer for Herren.
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.
Og då han var ferdig med desse ofringarne, velsigna han folket i namnet åt Herren, allhers drott.
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.
Deretter skifte han ut åt heile folket, åt heile Israels-ålmugen, både åt kar og kvende, ei hellekaka, eit stykke kjøt og ei rosinkaka til manns. So gjekk heile folket heim kvar til seg.
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!
Men då David kom heim og helsa husfolki sine, gjekk Mikal Saulsdotter til møtes med honom og sagde: «Kor måtte ikkje Israels konge kjenna seg høgvyrd i dag, med han i dag hev nækt seg framfor tenestgjentorne åt tenarane sine, soleis som skamlaust folk plar nækja seg.»
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.
David svara Mikal: «For Herrens åsyn hev eg dansa, han som valde meg ut framfor far din og framfor heile hans ætt, og sette meg til fyrste for Israel, Herrens folk. For Herrens åsyn var det eg dansa,
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.
og småminka meg meir, og verta ring i mine augo. Men hjå dei tenestgjentorne du nemnde, hjå deim skal eg verta høgvyrd.»
23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
Mikal Saulsdotter vart verande barnlaus alt til sin døyande dag.
