< 2 Samuel 6 >

1 And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
E tornou David a ajuntar todos os escolhidos de Israel, em numero de trinta mil.
2 And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him, from Baale Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, which is called by the Name, even the name of the LORD of hosts that sitteth upon the cherubim.
E levantou-se David, e partiu com todo o povo que tinha comsigo de Baalim de Judah, para levarem d'ali para cima a arca de Deus, sobre a qual se invoca o nome, o nome do Senhor dos exercitos, 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 the hill: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.
E puzeram 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 in the hill, with the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
E levando-o da casa d'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 with all manner of [instruments made of] fir wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with castanets, and with 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 psalterios, e com tamboris, e com pandeiros, e com cymbalos.
6 And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen stumbled.
E, chegando á eira de Nachon, estendeu Uza a mão á arca de Deus, e teve mão n'ella; 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 accendeu contra Uza, e Deus o feriu ali por esta imprudencia: e morreu ali junto á arca de Deus.
8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth upon Uzzah: and he called that place Perez-uzzah, unto this day.
E David se contristou, porque o Senhor abrira rotura em Uza; e chamou aquelle logar Peres-uza, até ao dia d'hoje.
9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, How shall the ark of the LORD come unto me?
E temeu David ao Senhor n'aquelle 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 quiz David retirar a si a arca do Senhor á cidade de David; mas David a fez levar á casa de Obed-edom, o getheo.
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.
E ficou a arca do Senhor em casa d'Obed-edom, o getheo, tres mezes: 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 to him, because of the ark of God. And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with joy.
Então avisaram a David, dizendo: Abençoou o Senhor a casa d'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, á 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 an ox and a fatling.
E succedeu 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 d'um ephod 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 jubilo, e ao som das trombetas.
16 And it was so, as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, that Michal 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.
E succedeu que, entrando a arca do Senhor na cidade de David, Michal, a filha de Saul, estava olhando pela janella: 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 its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
E introduzindo a arca do Senhor, a puzeram no seu logar, na tenda que David lhe armara: e offereceu David holocaustos e offertas pacificas perante o Senhor.
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.
E acabando David de offerecer os holocaustos e offertas pacificas, abençoou o povo em nome do Senhor dos exercitos.
19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a portion [of flesh], and a cake of raisins. 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 ás 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 today, who uncovered himself today 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 d'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 above thy father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince 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 pae, 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 be yet more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: but of the handmaids 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 fallaste, d'ellas serei honrado.
23 And 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.
