2 Samuel 6

1 Na Dawid boaboaa Israel mmabun a wɔn ho mmu wɔn dwɛ mpem aduasa ano.

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

2 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.

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 Jehovah of hosts enthroned on the cherubim.

3 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

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

4 a na Onyankopɔn Adaka no si mu no kwan. Na Ahio na odi anim.

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

5 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.

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

6 Na woduu Nakon awiporowbea no, nantwi no nan totoe, maa Usa teɛɛ ne nsa soo Onyankopɔn Adaka no mu sɛ ɔreteɛ no.

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.

7 Na Awurade bo fuw Usa sɛ ɔyɛɛ saa, na Onyankopɔn bɔɔ no ma owu daa adaka no ho.

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

8 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.

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

9 Afei, na Dawid suro Awurade nti obisaa se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na Awurade adaka no bɛba me nkyɛn?”

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

10 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.

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

11 Na Awurade adaka no sii Gatni Obed-Edom fifo nkyɛn asram abiɛsa, na Awurade hyiraa no ne ne fi mu nnipa nyinaa.

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

12 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.

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

13 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.

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

14 Na Dawid fii nʼahoɔden nyinaa mu saw wɔ Awurade anim a na ɔhyɛ asɔfotade yuu.

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

15 Enti Dawid ne Israel nyinaa de nteɛteɛmu ne ntorobɛntohyɛn maa Awurade Adaka no so kɔe.

So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

16 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.

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

17 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.

And they brought in the ark of Jehovah, 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 Jehovah.

18 Owiei no, ohyiraa nkurɔfo no wɔ Asafo Awurade din mu.

And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah of hosts.

19 Afei, ɔmaa Israel dɔm no mu onipa biara brodo mua, namkum ne bobe aba ɔfam. Na wɔn mu biara kɔɔ ne fi.

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.

20 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.”

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."

21 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.

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

22 Yiw, na mepɛ sɛ meyɛ ɔkwasea koraa sen eyi, na mmeawa koro yi ara a woreka wɔn ho asɛm yi bɛhyɛ me anuonyam.”

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."

23 Na Saulo babea Mikal anwo ba da wɔ ne nkwa nna nyinaa.

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