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

وَعادَ داوُدُ فَجَمَعَ أفْضَلَ الجُنودِ فِي إسْرائِيلَ. فَكانَ عَدَدُهُمْ ثَلاثينَ ألفاً.

2 A nd David arose, and went with all the people that were with him, from Baale-judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, which is called by the Name, even the name of Jehovah of hosts that sitteth above the cherubim.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ مَعَ رِجالِهِ كُلِّهِم إلَى بَعلَةَ فِي يَهُوَّذا، لِيُحْضِرُوا مِنْ هُناكَ صُنْدُوقَ اللهِ المُقَدَّسَ، المَدْعُو باسْمِ يهوه القَدِيرِ الجالِسِ فَوْقَ مَلائِكَةِ الكَرُوبِيمَ.

3 A nd they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in the hill: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.

فَأخْرَجَ رِجالُ داوُدَ الصُّنْدُوقَ المُقَدَّسَ مِنْ بَيتِ أبِيْنادابَ عِنْدَ التَّلّةِ، وَوَضَعُوهُ عَلَى مَرْكَبَةٍ جَديدَةٍ يقودُها عُزّةُ وَأخِيُو ابنا أبِيْنادابَ.

4 A nd they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in the hill, with the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.

فَكانَ صُندُوقُ اللهِ المقدَّسُ عَلَى العَرَبَةِ، وَأخيُو يَسِيْرُ أمامَ الصُّنْدُوقِ،

5 A nd David and all the house of Israel played before Jehovah with all manner of instruments made of fir-wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with castanets, and with cymbals.

وَداوُدُ وَبَنُو إسْرائِيلَ كُلُّهُمْ يَرْقُصُونَ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ ، وَيَعْزِفُونَ عَلَى الصُّنوجِ، وَعَلَى القَياثِيرَ وَالرَّبابِ وَالدُّفُوفِ وَالطُّبُولِ المَصْنوعَةِ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّرْوِ.

6 A nd when they came to the threshing-floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen stumbled.

وَعِنْدَما وَصَلَ رِجالُ داوُدَ إلَى البَيدَرِ فِي ناخُونَ، تَعَثَّرَتِ الأبْقارُ، فَمَدَّ عُزّا يَدَهُ لِيُثَبِّتَ الصُّنْدُوقَ لِئَلّا يَقَعَ.

7 A nd the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.

فَاشتَعَلَ غَضِبُ اللهُ عَلَى عُزّا وَقَتَلَهُ هُناكَ لأنَّهُ مَدَّ يَدَهُ إلَى الصُّنْدُوقِ المُقَدَّسِ! فَماتَ هُناكَ إلَى جانِبِ الصُّنْدُوقِ.

8 A nd David was displeased, because Jehovah had broken forth upon Uzzah; and he called that place Perez-uzzah, unto this day.

فَاستاءَ داوُدُ لأنَّ غَضَبَ اللهِ قَدِ انفَجَرَ ضِدَّ عُزّا، فَدَعا ذَلِكَ المَكانَ «فارَصَ عُزّا.» وَهُوَ اسمُ ذَلِكَ المَكانِ حَتَّى اليَومِ.

9 A nd David was afraid of Jehovah that day; and he said, How shall the ark of Jehovah come unto me?

وَخافَ داود مِنَ اللهِ في ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ وَقالَ: «كيفَ أُحْضِرُ صُنْدوقَ اللهِ المُقَدَّسَ إلَى هُنا؟»

10 S o David would not remove the ark of Jehovah unto him into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

وَهَكَذا لَمْ يُدْخِلْ داوُدُ صُندُوقَ اللهِ إلَى مَدِينَةِ داوُدَ، بَلْ وَضَعَهُ في منزِلِ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ الجَتّي.

11 A nd the ark of Jehovah remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and Jehovah blessed Obed-edom, and all his house.

فَبَقِيَ صُندُوقُ اللهِ هُناكَ ثَلاثَةَ أشْهُرٍ. وَبارَكَ اللهُ عُوبِيدَ أدُومَ وَعائِلَتَهُ كُلَّها.

12 A nd it was told king David, saying, Jehovah hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with joy.

ثُمَّ قالَ النّاسُ لِداوُدَ: «لَقَد بارَكَ اللهُ عائِلَةَ عُوبِيدَ أدومَ وَكُلَّ ما يَملِكُهُ بِسَبَبِ صُنْدوقِ اللهِ المُقّدَّسِ.» فَذَهَبَ داوُدُ وَعادَ بهِ. فَكانَ مُبْتَهِجاً وَشَدِيدَ الفَرَحِ.

13 A nd it was so, that, when they that bare the ark of Jehovah had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.

وَكانَ كُلَّما خَطا الرِّجالُ الّذِينَ كانُوا يَحْمِلُون صُنْدُوقَ اللهِ المقدَّسَ سِتَّ خُطُواتٍ، يَتَوقَّفُونَ، وَيُقدِّمُ داوُدُ ثَوْراً وَعِجلاً مُسَمَّناً ذَبيحَةً.

14 A nd David danced before Jehovah with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

وَكانَ داوُدُ يَرقُصُ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ وَهْوَ يَرْتَدِي رِداءً كِتّانِيّاً.

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

كانَ داوُدُ وَبَنُو إسْرائِيلَ كُلُّهم فَرِحِينَ جِدّاً. فَراحُوا يَصْرُخُونَ وَيَنْفُخُونَ فِي البُوقِ وَهُمْ يَحْمِلونَ صُنْدُوقَ اللهِ إلَى داخِلِ المَدينَةِ.

16 A nd it was so, as the ark of Jehovah came into the city of David, that Michal 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.

وَمَعَ دُخُولِ صُنْدُوقِ اللهِ إلَى مَدِينَةِ داوُدَ، أطَلَّتْ مِيكالُ بِنتُ شاوُلَ مِنَ النّافِذَةِ، فَرَأتْ داوُدَ يَقْفِزُ وَيَرْقُصُ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ ، فَاحْتَقَرَتْهُ فِي قَلْبِها.

17 A nd they brought in the ark of Jehovah, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah.

وَأدخَلُوا صُنْدُوقَ اللهِ ، وَوَضَعُوهُ فِي مَكانِهِ داخِلَ الخَيمَةِ الَّتِي نَصَبَها داوُدُ لَهُ. وَذَبَحَ دَاوُدُ ذَبائِحَ صاعِدَةً وَذَبائِحَ سَلامٍ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ.

18 A nd 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.

وَلَمّا أكمَلَ داوُدُ تَقْدِيمَ الذَّبائِحِ الصّاعِدَةِ وَذَبائِحِ السَّلامِ، بارَكَ الشَّعبَ بِاسْمِ يهوه القَدِيرِ.

19 A nd he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a portion of flesh, and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed every one to his house.

كَذَلِكَ أعْطَى كُلَّ رَجُلٍ وكُلَّ امْرأةٍ مِنْ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ رَغِيفَ خُبْزٍ وَكَعْكَ تَمْرٍ وَكَعْكَ زَبِيبٍ. ثُمَّ عادَ الشَّعبُ كُلُّهُ إلَى ديارِهِ. ميكال تُوَبِّخُ داوُد

20 T hen David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to-day, who uncovered himself to-day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!

عادَ داوُدُ ليُبارِكَ بَيتَهُ، وَخَرَجَتْ مِيكالُ بِنتُ شاوُلَ لِلِقائِهِ، وَقالَتْ: «مَلِكُ إسْرائِيلَ لَمْ يُشَرِّفْ نَفْسَهُ اليوْمَ! لَقَدْ خَلَعْتَ ملابِسَكَ أمامَ خادِماتِكَ. كُنْتَ كَالْغَبِيِّ الذي يَخلَعُ مَلابِسَهُ بِلا خَجَلٍ!»

21 A nd David said unto Michal, It was before Jehovah, who chose me above thy father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of Jehovah, over Israel: therefore will I play before Jehovah.

فَقالَ داوُدُ لِمِيكالَ: «قَدِ اخْتارَني اللهُ أنا وَلَمْ يَخْتَرْ وَالِدَكِ أوْ أيَّ شَخْصٍ في عائِلَتِهِ. اخْتارَني لأكُونَ قائِدَ شَعبِهِ، بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ. لِذا سَأُتابعُ الرَّقْصَ وَالاحْتِفالَ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ.

22 A nd I will be yet more vile than this, and will be base in mine own sight: but of the handmaids of whom thou hast spoken, of them shall I be had in honor.

وقَدْ أفْعَلُ أشياءَ أكْثَرَ حَرَجاً! رُبمّا لَنْ تَحْتَرِمينني، لَكِنَّني سأتَعَظَّمُ أمامَ عُيُونِ الفَتَياتِ اللّواتِي تَتَكَلَّمينَ عَنْهنَّ!»

23 A nd Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِمِيكالَ أولادٌ إلى يَومِ مَماتِها.
