2 Samyèl 6
1 Yon lòt fwa ankò, David reyini tout pi bon sòlda pèp Izrayèl la. Sa te fè antou trantmil (30.000) gason.
David again assembled the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand in all.
2 Li leve, li pati pou Balat nan peyi Jida ansanm ak tout sòlda ki te avè l' yo. Li tapral chache Bwat Kontra Bondye a, bwat ki pote non Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Seyè ki gen fotèy li anwo zanj cheriben yo.
And he and all his troops set out for Baale of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name— the name of the LORD of Hosts, who is enthroned between the cherubim that are on it.
3 Yo pran Bwat la kay Abenadab sou mòn lan, mete l' sou yon kabwa tou nèf, yo pote l' ale. Ouza ak Akiyo, pitit gason Abenadab yo, t'ap mennen kabwa
They set the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart,
4 kote yo te mete Bwat Kontra Bondye a. Akiyo t'ap mache devan kabwa a.
bringing with it the ark of God. And Ahio was walking in front of the ark.
5 David ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm t'ap danse ak tout nanm yo. Yo t'ap chante fè lwanj Seyè a. Yo t'ap jwe gita ak bandjo. Yo t'ap bat tanbou, tanbouren ak senbal.
David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the LORD with all kinds of wood instruments, harps, stringed instruments, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals.
6 Lè yo rive bò glasi Nakon an, bèf yo bite, yo manke tonbe. Ouza lonje men l', li soutni Bwat Kontra a.
When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen had stumbled.
7 Men Seyè a move sou Ouza, li touye l' frèt paske li pa t' gen dwa manyen Bwat Kontra a. Ouza mouri la toupre Bwat Kontra a.
And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and God struck him down on the spot for his irreverence, and he died there beside the ark of God.
8 David menm te fache dèske Seyè a te touye Ouza konsa. Se poutèt sa depi lè sa a yo rele kote sa a Perèz-Ouza, non ki rete pou li jouk jounen jòdi a.
Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah; so he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.
9 Lè sa a, David vin pè Seyè a. Li di li pa wè ki jan pou l' pran Bwat Kontra a lakay li.
That day David feared the LORD and asked, “How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?”
10 Se konsa li pran desizyon pou l' pa pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a lakay li nan Lavil David la. Li fè yo pote l' kay Obèdedon, yon moun lavil Gat.
So he was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
11 Bwat la pase twa mwa lakay li. Seyè a te beni Obèdedon ansanm ak tout moun lakay li.
Thus the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the LORD blessed him and all his household.
12 Lè David tande jan Seyè a te beni Obèdedon ak tout moun lakay li, jan zafè l' t'ap mache byen poutèt Bwat Kontra a, David pati, li ale kay Obèdedon, li pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a pou pote l' nan Lavil David la avèk gwo seremoni sou tout wout la.
Now it was reported to King David, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and had the ark of God brought up from the house of Obed-edom into the City of David with rejoicing.
13 Lè moun ki t'ap pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a fè sis pa annavan, David fè yo rete, li touye yon gwo towo ak yon ti towo bèf chatre pou Seyè a.
When those carrying the ark of the LORD had advanced six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
14 Apre sa, David pran danse ak tout nanm li devan Seyè a. Li pa t' gen pase yon moso twal fen blan mare nan ren l'.
And David, wearing a linen ephod, danced with all his might before the LORD,
15 Se konsa, li menm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la, yo pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a lavil Jerizalèm. Yo t'ap fè fèt, yo t'ap kònen twonpèt sou tout wout la.
while he and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and the sounding of the ram’s horn.
16 Antan yo t'ap antre ak Bwat Kontra a nan lavil David la, Mikal, pitit fi Sayil la, te kanpe bò yon fennèt ap gade. Li wè David ki t'ap danse fè laviwonn devan Seyè a. Li vin pa gen yon san pou li ankò.
As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from a window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, and she despised him in her heart.
17 Yo pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a, yo mete l' nan plas li nan tant David te moute pou li a. Apre sa, David ofri bèt pou boule nèt pou Seyè a ak ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi.
So they brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
18 Lè David fin fè ofrann sa yo, li beni pèp la nan non Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a.
When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Hosts.
19 Li separe manje bay tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo, fanm kou gason. Li ba yo chak yon pen, yon moso vyann woti ak yon pen rezen. Lèfini, tout moun al lakay yo.
Then he distributed to every man and woman among the multitude of Israel a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. And all the people departed, each for his own home.
20 Apre sa, David al lakay li pou l' beni fanmi pa l' tou. Men, Mikal, pitit fi Sayil la, soti vin kontre li. Epi li di l' konsa: -Ala yon bèl bagay wa pèp Izrayèl la fè pou tèt li jòdi a! Tou sa yon vakabon ta fè. Li wete rad sou li devan tout sèvant moun k'ap sèvi avè l' yo!
As soon as David returned home to bless his own household, Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today!” she said. “He has uncovered himself today in the sight of the maidservants of his subjects, like a vulgar person would do.”
21 David reponn li: -Se vre. Mwen t'ap danse pou m' te fè lwanj Seyè a ki te pito m' pase papa ou ak tout fanmi ou. Li chwazi m', li mete m' chèf pèp Izrayèl la, pèp li a. M'ap toujou ka danse devan l' pou m' fè lwanj li.
But David said to Michal, “I was dancing before the LORD, who chose me over your father and all his house when He appointed me ruler over the LORD’s people Israel. I will celebrate before the LORD,
22 M'ap desanm tèt mwen pi ba toujou pase sa. Dapre ou, se desann m'ap desann sousi m'. Men, sèvant w'ap pale yo ap toujou ka leve m' anlè.
and I will humiliate and humble myself even more than this. Yet I will be honored by the maidservants of whom you have spoken.”
23 Mikal, pitit fi Sayil la, pa janm fè pitit jouk li mouri.
And Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
