< 2 Samuel 6 >
1 And David, once more, gathered together all the choice young men in Israel, thirty thousand.
Na Dawid boaboaa Israel mmabun a wɔn ho mmu wɔn dwɛ mpem aduasa ano.
2 Then David, and all the people that were with him, arose and went beyond Baale Judah, —to bring up from thence, the ark of God, the name whereof is called by the name of Yahweh of hosts, who inhabiteth the cherubim thereupon.
Odii wɔn anim fi Baala a ɛwɔ Yuda, sɛ wɔrekɔfa Onyankopɔn Adaka, a ekura Awurade Tumfo no a wɔde no asi kerubim ntam no din.
3 So they carried the ark of God in a new waggon, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeah, —and, Uzza and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were driving the new waggon.
Wɔde Onyankopɔn Adaka no sii teaseɛnam foforo so, de fii Abinadab fi a na ɛwɔ bepɔw so no bae. Usa ne Ahio a na wɔyɛ Abinadab mmabarima no na na wɔkyerɛ teaseɛnam foforo no
4 So they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in Gibeah, with the ark of God, —and, Ahio, was going before the ark.
a na Onyankopɔn Adaka no si mu no kwan. Na Ahio na odi anim.
5 And, David and all the house of Israel, were dancing for joy before Yahweh, with all boldness and with songs, —and with lyres, and with harps, and with timbrels, and with sistrums, and with cymbals.
Dawid ne Israel manfo gyee wɔn ani wɔ Awurade anim wɔ ahoɔden so a wɔreto nnwom, na wɔde asanku, mmɛnta, akasae, mfirikyiwa ne kyɛnkyɛn nenam mu.
6 And, when they came as far as the threshing-floor of Nachon, Uzzah thrust forth his hand unto the ark of God, and took hold of it, for the oxen were restive.
Na woduu Nakon awiporowbea no, nantwi no nan totoe, maa Usa teɛɛ ne nsa soo Onyankopɔn Adaka no mu sɛ ɔreteɛ no.
7 Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh, against Uzzah, and God smote him there, for the error, —so that he died there, by the ark of God.
Na Awurade bo fuw Usa sɛ ɔyɛɛ saa, na Onyankopɔn bɔɔ no ma owu daa adaka no ho.
8 And it was a sadness unto David, for that Yahweh had broken in with a breach against Uzzah, —therefore called he that place, Perez-uzzah [as it is called] until this day.
Dawid nso bo fuw, efisɛ Awurade abufuw atia Usa. Ɔtoo saa beae hɔ din Peres-Usa a ase ne abufuwhyew a etia Usa. Wɔfrɛ hɔ saa ara de besi nnɛ.
9 And David was afraid of Yahweh, on that day, —and said, How can the ark of Yahweh come unto me?
Afei, na Dawid suro Awurade nti obisaa se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na Awurade adaka no bɛba me nkyɛn?”
10 So David would not remove unto him the ark of Yahweh, unto the city of David, —but David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom, the Gittite.
Na Dawid yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ, ɔremma Awurade Adaka no so nkɔ Dawid Kuropɔn no mu. Na mmom, ɔmaa so de kɔɔ Obed-Edom a ɔyɛ Gatni fi.
11 And the ark of Yahweh abode in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite, three months, —and Yahweh blessed Obed -edom, and all his household.
Na Awurade adaka no sii Gatni Obed-Edom fifo nkyɛn asram abiɛsa, na Awurade hyiraa no ne ne fi mu nnipa nyinaa.
12 And it was told King David, saying, Yahweh hath blessed the household of Obed-edom, and all that he hath, because of the ark of God. David therefore went and brought up the ark of God, out of the house of Obed-edom, unto the city of David, with rejoicing.
Afei, wɔka kyerɛɛ ɔhene Dawid se, “Esiane Awurade Adaka no nti, Awurade ahyira Obed-Edom fi ne biribiara a ɔwɔ so.” Enti Dawid kɔɔ hɔ kɔfaa Adaka no, de osebɔ kɛse baa Dawid Kuropɔn no mu.
13 And so it was that, when they who bare the ark of Yahweh had stepped forward six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a heifer.
Nnipa a na wɔso Awurade Adaka no tuu anammɔn asia pɛ, wogyinaa hɔ twɛnee, sɛnea Dawid betumi de nantwi ne nantwi ba a wadɔ srade abɔ afɔre.
14 And, David, was dancing with all boldness before Yahweh, —David, being girt with an ephod of linen.
Na Dawid fii nʼahoɔden nyinaa mu saw wɔ Awurade anim a na ɔhyɛ asɔfotade yuu.
15 So, David and all the house of Israel, were bringing up the ark of Yahweh, —with triumphant shoutings, and with the sound of a horn.
Enti Dawid ne Israel nyinaa de nteɛteɛmu ne ntorobɛntohyɛn maa Awurade Adaka no so kɔe.
16 Now it so came about that, when the ark of Yahweh entered the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter, looked out through the window, and saw King David, leaping and dancing before Yahweh, and she despised him, in her heart.
Bere a wɔde Awurade Adaka no rewura Dawid Kuropɔn no mu no, Saulo babea a ne din de Mikal no kɔtɛwee mfɛnsere mu hwɛe. Ohuu sɛ ɔhene Dawid rehuruhuruw, resaw anigye so wɔ Awurade anim no, nʼani annye.
17 So they brought in the ark of Yahweh, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent which David had stretched out for it, —and David caused to go up ascending-sacrifices before Yahweh, and peace-offerings.
Wɔde Awurade Adaka no kosii nʼafa wɔ ntamadan a ɛno nti, Dawid asi no mu, na Dawid bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre wɔ Awurade anim.
18 And, when David had finished offering up the ascending-sacrifice and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh of hosts.
Owiei no, ohyiraa nkurɔfo no wɔ Asafo Awurade din mu.
19 And he apportioned to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, both to men and to women—to every one, a loaf of bread, and a sweet drink, and a raisin-cake, —and all the people went their way, every one unto his own house;
Afei, ɔmaa Israel dɔm no mu onipa biara brodo mua, namkum ne bobe aba ɔfam. Na wɔn mu biara kɔɔ ne fi.
20 and David returned, to bless his household. Then came forth Michal Saul’s daughter to meet David, and said—How honoured, to-day, was the king of Israel in disrobing himself to-day, in the sight of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the low people, might disrobe himself?
Bere a Dawid san kɔɔ ne fi sɛ ɔrekohyira ne fifo no, Mikal fii adi ba behyiaa no ka kyerɛɛ no abufuw so se, “Nnɛ de, na Israelhene nsɛ ha! Ɔpaa ne ho kyerɛɛ ne mfenaa te sɛ nea obiara a ommu ne ho bɛyɛ no ara pɛ.”
21 And David said unto Michal, Before Yahweh, I will dance, —blessed, be Yahweh, who made choice of me above thy father, and above all his house, putting me in charge as leader over the people of Yahweh, over Israel, —therefore will I dance before Yahweh;
Dawid buaa Mikal se, “Na meresaw wɔ Awurade a oyii me, na otwaa wʼagya ne nʼabusuafo gyawee no anim. Oyii me sɛ menyɛ Israel a wɔyɛ Awurade nkurɔfo ɔkannifo. Ɛno nti, ɛyɛ me pɛ sɛ meyɛ me ho sɛ ɔkwasea, sɛnea ɛbɛma makyerɛ mʼahokeka a mewɔ wɔ Awurade mu.
22 and will make myself, yet more, lightly esteemed that this, and become lowly in mine own eyes, —nevertheless, with the handmaids of whom thou hast spoken, with them, shall I be honoured.
Yiw, na mepɛ sɛ meyɛ ɔkwasea koraa sen eyi, na mmeawa koro yi ara a woreka wɔn ho asɛm yi bɛhyɛ me anuonyam.”
23 Therefore, Michal Saul’s daughter, had no child, —unto the day of her death.
Na Saulo babea Mikal anwo ba da wɔ ne nkwa nna nyinaa.
