2 Samuel 6

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

Kemudian Daud memanggil lagi prajurit-prajurit yang terbaik di Israel supaya berkumpul, jumlahnya 30.000 orang.

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 the LORD of hosts enthroned on the cherubim.

Mereka dipimpinnya menuju ke Baale-Yehuda, untuk mengambil dari sana Peti Perjanjian yang disebut dengan nama TUHAN Mahakuasa yang bertahta di atas kerub-kerub.

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

Peti Perjanjian itu diambil dari rumah Abinadab di atas bukit dan dinaikkan ke dalam pedati yang baru. Lalu Uza dan Ahio, anak-anak Abinadab mengiringi pedati itu; Uza berjalan di sampingnya,

4 with the ark; and Ahio was walking in front of the ark.

dan Ahio berjalan di depannya.

5 And David and all the children of Israel played before the LORD with all their strength and with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with castanets, and with cymbals.

Daud dan seluruh bangsa Israel berjalan di depan Peti itu sambil menari-nari sekuat tenaga dan bernyanyi-nyanyi untuk menghormati TUHAN. Mereka bermain kecapi, gambus, rebana, kelentingan, dan simbal.

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.

Ketika mereka sampai di tempat pengirikan gandum milik Nakhon, sapi-sapi yang menarik pedati itu tersandung, lalu Uza mengulurkan tangannya dan memegang Peti Perjanjian itu supaya jangan jatuh.

7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died before God.

Pada saat itu juga TUHAN Allah menjadi marah kepada Uza, karena perbuatannya itu merupakan penghinaan kepada TUHAN. Uza dibunuh-Nya di tempat itu, di dekat Peti Perjanjian.

8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.

Maka sejak saat itu tempat itu disebut Peres-Uza. Daud marah karena TUHAN membinasakan Uza.

9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, "How can the ark of God come to me?" Now the ark of the LORD arrived,

Tetapi Daud takut juga kepada TUHAN dan berkata, "Sekarang bagaimana Peti Perjanjian itu dapat kubawa?"

10 but David was not willing to move the ark of the LORD with him to the City of David; so David diverted it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

Sebab itu ia tidak mau lagi membawa Peti Perjanjian itu ke Yerusalem, melainkan menyimpannya di rumah Obed-Edom orang Gat.

11 And the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months, and the LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.

Peti Perjanjian itu tinggal di situ tiga bulan lamanya, dan TUHAN memberkati Obed-Edom dan keluarganya.

12 And it was told king David, saying, "The LORD 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 the LORD from the house of Obed-Edom into the City of David with joy.

Raja Daud mendengar bahwa TUHAN memberkati keluarga Obed-Edom dan segala miliknya karena Peti Perjanjian itu. Maka pergilah ia ke rumah Obed-Edom, mengambil Peti untuk memindahkannya ke Yerusalem dengan perayaan besar.

13 And it was so, that, when those who bore the ark of the LORD had gone six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.

Ketika orang-orang yang mengangkat Peti Perjanjian itu sudah berjalan enam langkah, Daud menyuruh mereka berhenti. Lalu ia mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN, yaitu sapi jantan dan anak sapi yang digemukkan.

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

Kemudian Daud menari-nari dengan penuh semangat untuk menghormati TUHAN. Pada waktu itu ia hanya memakai sarung linen pendek yang diikat pada pinggangnya.

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.

Demikianlah Daud dan seluruh rakyat Israel memindahkan Peti Perjanjian itu ke Yerusalem, diiringi sorak-sorai dan bunyi trompet.

16 Now, as the ark of the LORD 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 the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

Ketika Peti itu sedang dibawa masuk ke dalam kota, Mikhal putri Saul menjenguk dari jendela lalu melihat Raja Daud melompat-lompat dan menari-nari untuk menghormati TUHAN, dan Mikhal merasa muak melihat Daud.

17 And they brought in the ark of the LORD, 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 the LORD.

Peti Perjanjian itu diletakkan di tempatnya di dalam kemah yang telah dipasang oleh Daud untuk Peti itu. Kemudian Daud mempersembahkan kurban bakaran dan kurban perdamaian kepada TUHAN.

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 the LORD of hosts.

Lalu ia memberkati rakyat Israel dengan nama TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa.

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.

Kemudian membagi-bagikan makanan kepada mereka semua. Setiap orang yang ada di situ baik laki-laki maupun wanita diberinya sepotong daging panggang, roti dan kue kismis. Setelah itu mereka semua pulang ke rumahnya masing-masing.

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."

Pada waktu Daud pulang ke istana untuk memberi salam kepada keluarganya, Mikhal ke luar mendapatkan Daud dan berkata, "Hari ini raja Israel sungguh-sungguh membuat dirinya terhormat! Ia telah bertelanjang seperti orang dungu yang tak tahu malu di depan budak-budak perempuan milik para pegawai istana!"

21 And David said to Mikal, "I was dancing before the LORD. Blessed be the LORD, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of the LORD, over Israel; therefore I will celebrate before the LORD.

Daud menjawab, "Aku menari untuk menghormati TUHAN, yang telah menolak ayahmu serta keluarganya, lalu memilih aku menjadi pemimpin Israel, umat-Nya. Sebab itu aku akan terus menari untuk menghormati TUHAN.

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."

Bahkan aku bersedia dihina lebih daripada tadi. Boleh saja engkau memandang rendah kepadaku, tetapi budak-budak yang kausebutkan tadi, akan menghargai aku!"

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

Mikhal, putri Saul itu tidak beranak seumur hidupnya.
