1 T ornou Davi a ajuntar todos os escolhidos de Israel, em número de trinta mil.

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

2 D epois levantou-se Davi, e partiu para Baal-Judá com todo o povo que tinha consigo, para trazerem dali para cima a arca de Deus, a qual é chamada pelo Nome, o nome do Senhor dos exércitos, que se assenta sobre os querubins.

And David arose and went with all the people who were with him to Baale-judah, to bring up from there the ark of God which is called by the Name, the very name of the Lord of hosts who is enthroned above the cherubim.

3 P useram a arca de Deus em um carro novo, e a levaram da casa de Abinadabe, que estava sobre o outeiro; e Uzá e Aiô, filhos de Abinadabe, guiavam o carro novo.

They placed the ark of God on a new cart that they might bring it from the house of Abinadab which was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were leading the new cart.

4 F oram, pois, levando-o da casa de Abinadabe, que estava sobre o outeiro, com a arca de Deus; e Aiô ia adiante da arca.

So they brought it with the ark of God from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill; and Ahio was walking ahead of the ark.

5 E Davi, e toda a casa de Israel, tocavam perante o Senhor, com toda sorte de instrumentos de pau de faia, como também com harpas, saltérios, tamboris, pandeiros e címbalos.

Meanwhile, David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the Lord with all kinds of instruments made of fir wood, and with lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets and cymbals.

6 Q uando chegaram ã eira de Nacom, Uzá estendeu a mão ã arca de Deus, e pegou nela, porque os bois tropeçaram.

But when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out toward the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen nearly upset it.

7 E ntão a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra Uzá, e Deus o feriu ali; e Uzá morreu ali junto ã arca de Deus.

And the anger of the Lord burned against Uzzah, and God struck him down there for his irreverence; and he died there by the ark of God.

8 E Davi se contristou, porque o Senhor abrira rotura em Uzá; e passou-se a chamar

David became angry because of the Lord’s outburst against Uzzah, and that place is called Perez-uzzah to this day.

9 D avi, pois, teve medo do Senhor naquele dia, e disse: Como virá a mim a arca do Senhor?

So David was afraid of the Lord that day; and he said, “How can the ark of the Lord come to me?”

10 E não quis levar a arca do Senhor para a cidade de Davi; mas fê-la entrar na casa de Obede-Edom, o gitita.

And David was unwilling to move the ark of the Lord into the city of David with him; but David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

11 E ficou a arca do Senhor três meses na casa de Obede-Edom, o gitita, e o Senhor o abençoou e a toda a sua casa.

Thus 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 household. The Ark Is Brought to Jerusalem

12 E ntão informaram a Davi, dizendo: O Senhor abençoou a casa de Obede-Edom, e tudo quanto é dele, por causa da arca de Deus. Foi, pois, Davi, e com alegria fez subir a arca de Deus, da casa de Obede-Edom para a cidade de Davi.

Now it was told King David, saying, “The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, on account of the ark of God.” David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.

13 Q uando os que levavam a arca do Senhor tinham dado seis passos, ele sacrificou um boi e um animal cevado.

And so it was, that when the bearers of the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.

14 E Davi dançava com todas as suas forças diante do Senhor; e estava Davi cingido dum éfode de linho.

And David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, and David was wearing a linen ephod.

15 A ssim Davi e toda a casa de Israel subiam, trazendo a arca do Senhor com júbilo e ao som de trombetas.

So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.

16 Q uando entrava a arca do Senhor na cidade de Davi, Mical, filha de Saul, estava olhando pela janela; e, vendo ao rei Davi saltando e dançando diante do senhor, o desprezou no seu coraçao.

Then it happened as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

17 I ntroduziram, pois, a arca do Senhor, e a puseram no seu lugar, no meio da tenda que Davi lhe armara; e Davi ofereceu holocaustos e ofertas pacíficas perante o Senhor.

So they brought in the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.

18 Q uando Davi acabou de oferecer os holocaustos e ofertas pacíficas, abençoou o povo em nome do Senhor dos exércitos.

When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offering, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.

19 D epois repartiu a todo o povo, a toda a multidão de Israel, tanto a homens como a mulheres, a cada um, um bolo de pão, um bom pedaço de carne e um bolo de passas. Em seguida todo o povo se retirou, cada um para sua casa.

Further, he distributed to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, both to men and women, a cake of bread and one of dates and one of raisins to each one. Then all the people departed each to his house.

20 E ntão Davi voltou para abençoar a sua casa; e Mical, filha de Saul, saiu a encontrar-se com Davi, e disse: Quão honrado foi o rei de Israel, descobrindo-se hoje aos olhos das servas de seus servos, como sem pejo se descobre um indivíduo qualquer.

But when David returned to bless his household, Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel distinguished himself today! He uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids as one of the foolish ones shamelessly uncovers himself!”

21 D isse, porém, Davi a Mical: Perante o Senhor, que teu escolheu a mim de preferência a teu pai e a toda a sua casa, estabelecendo-me por chefe sobre o povo do Senhor, sobre Israel, sim, foi perante Senhor que dancei; e perante ele ainda hei de dançar

So David said to Michal, “ It was before the Lord, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel; therefore I will celebrate before the Lord.

22 T ambém ainda mais do que isso me envilecerei, e me humilharei aos meus olhos; mas das servas, de quem falaste, delas serei honrado.

I will be more lightly esteemed than this and will be humble in my own eyes, but with the maids of whom you have spoken, with them I will be distinguished.”

23 E Mical, filha de Saul não teve filhos, até o dia de sua morte.

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