2 Hamuera 6

1 Na ka huihuia ano e Rawiri te hunga whiriwhiri katoa o Iharaira e toru tekau mano.

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

2 A ka whakatika a Rawiri ratou ko tona nuinga katoa, haere ana i Paare o Hura, tikina ana i reira te aaka a Ihowa, e huaina nei ki te Ingoa, ara ki te ingoa o Ihowa o nga mano, e noho nei i waenganui o nga kerupima.

David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale Judah, to bring up from there God’s ark, which is called by the Name, even the name of the LORD of Hosts who sits above the cherubim.

3 Na ka whakanohoia e ratou te aaka a te Atua ki runga ki te kata hou, a mauria ana i te whare o Apinarapa i Kipea; a na Uha raua ko Ahio, na nga tama a Apinarapa, i arahi te kata hou.

They set God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house that was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.

4 Na kawea ana i te whare o Apinarapa i Kipea, me te haere tahi ano ratou ko te aaka a te Atua; i haere ano a Ahio i mua i te aaka.

They brought it out of Abinadab’s house which was in the hill, with God’s ark; and Ahio went before the ark.

5 Na ka takaro a Rawiri ratou ko te whare katoa o Iharaira ki te aroaro o Ihowa, me te whakatangi ano i a ratou mea katoa he kauri nei te rakau, i nga hapa, i nga hatere, i nga timipera, i nga koronete, i nga himipora.

David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD with all kinds of instruments made of cypress wood, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with castanets, and with cymbals.

6 A ka tae ki te patunga witi a Nakono, ka totoro a Uha ki te aaka a te Atua, a puritia ana e ia; i paheke hoki nga kau.

When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached for God’s ark and took hold of it, for the cattle stumbled.

7 Na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Uha, a patua iho ia i reira e te Atua mo tona he, a mate ake i reira i te taha o te aaka a te Atua.

The LORD’s anger burned against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by God’s ark.

8 Na ka pouri a Rawiri mo ta Ihowa tukitukinga i a Uha; na huaina ana taua wahi e ia, ko Pereteuha; koia ano tena inaianei.

David was displeased because the LORD had broken out against Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah to this day.

9 Na ka wehi a Rawiri i a Ihowa i taua ra, ka mea, Ma te aha e tae ake ai te aaka a Ihowa ki ahau.

David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, “How could the LORD’s ark come to me?”

10 Heoi kihai a Rawiri i pai ki te tango i te aaka a Ihowa ki a ia, ki te pa o Rawiri; na kawea ketia ana e Rawiri ki te whare o Opereeroma Kiti.

So David would not move the LORD’s ark to be with him in David’s city; but David carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.

11 E toru nga marama i noho ai te aaka a Ihowa ki te whare o Opereeroma Kiti: a ka manaakitia e Ihowa a Opereeroma ratou ko tona whare katoa.

The LORD’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and the LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.

12 A ka korerotia te korero ki a Kingi Rawiri, Kua manaakitia e Ihowa te whare o Opereeroma me ana mea katoa, he whakaaro ki te aaka a te Atua. Na ka haere a Rawiri, a kawea ana e ia te aaka a te Atua, i te whare o Opereeroma ki runga, ki te pa o R awiri, me te koa ano ia.

King David was told, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that belongs to him, because of God’s ark.” So David went and brought up God’s ark from the house of Obed-Edom into David’s city with joy.

13 A ka ono nga hikoinga i hokoi ai nga kaiamo i te aaka a Ihowa, na ka patua e ia etahi kau me tetahi mea momona.

When those who bore the LORD’s ark had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.

14 Na ka whakapaua katoatia tona kaha e Rawiri ki te kanikani ki te aroaro o Ihowa: i whitikiria ano he epora rinena ki a Rawiri.

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

15 Heoi ka kawea te aaka a Ihowa e Rawiri ratou ko te whare katoa o Iharaira, me te hamama ano ratou, me te tangi ano te tetere.

So David and all the house of Israel brought up the LORD’s ark with shouting and with the sound of the shofar.

16 A, i te taenga o te aaka a Ihowa ki te pa o Rawiri, na ka titiro a Mikara, tamahine a Haora na te matapihi, a ka kite i a Kingi Rawiri e tupekepeke ana, e kanikani ana i te aroaro o Ihowa; a whakahawea ana ia ki a ia i roto i tona ngakau.

As the LORD’s ark came into David’s city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out through the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

17 Na ka kawea e ratou te aaka a Ihowa, a whakaturia ana ki tona wahi, ki waenganui o te tapenakara i whakaarahia e Rawiri mona: na ka tapaea e Rawiri etahi tahunga tinana ki te aroaro o Ihowa, me etahi whakahere mo te pai.

They brought in the LORD’s ark, and set it in its place in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

18 A, no ka mutu ta Rawiri tapae i nga tahunga tinana, i nga whakahere mo te pai, ka manaakitia e ia te iwi i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa o nga mano.

When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Hosts.

19 I tuwhaina ano e ia ma te iwi katoa, ma te huihui katoa o Iharaira, ma te tane, ma te wahine, kotahi keke taro ma tenei, ma tenei, me tetahi wahi kikokiko, me tetahi keke karepe maroke. Na haere ana te iwi katoa ki tona whare, ki tona whare.

He gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, dates, and raisins. So all the people departed, each to his own house.

20 Katahi a Rawiri ka hoki ki te manaaki i tona whare. A ka puta a Mikara, tamahine a Haora ki te whakatau i a Rawiri, a ka mea, Ano te kororia o te kingi o Iharaira inaianei, i whakakite kirikau nei i a ia inakuanei ki nga kanohi o nga pononga wah ine a ana tangata, pera i tetahi o te hunga wairangi e whakakite nui ana i a ia!

Then David returned to bless his household. Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”

21 Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Mikara, I te aroaro ra o Ihowa, i whiriwhiri nei i ahau, i kape nei i tou papa, me tona whare katoa, i whakarite hoki a ahau hei rangatira mo te iwi a Ihowa, mo Iharaira; koia ahau ka takaro ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

David said to Michal, “It was before 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.

22 Na ka nui atu ano i tenei toku wairangi, a ka iti iho ahau ki taku titiro; ko nga pononga wahine ia i kiia mai na e koe, ka whakahonoretia ahau e ratou.

I will be yet more undignified than this, and will be worthless in my own sight. But the maids of whom you have spoken will honor me.”

23 Na kahore he tamariki a Mikara tamahine a Haora a taea noatia te ra i mate ai ia.

Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
