1 D e novo Davi reuniu os melhores guerreiros de Israel, trinta mil ao todo.

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

2 E le e todos os que o acompanhavam partiram para Baalá, em Judá, para buscar a arca de Deus, arca sobre a qual é invocado o Nome, o nome do Senhor dos Exércitos, que tem o seu trono entre os querubins acima dela.

And 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.

3 P useram a arca de Deus num carroção novo e a levaram da casa de Abinadabe, na colina. Uzá e Aiô, filhos de Abinadabe, conduziam o carroção

And 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.

4 c om a arca de Deus; Aiô andava na frente dela.

And 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.

5 D avi e todos os israelitas iam cantando e dançando perante o Senhor, ao som de todo tipo de instrumentos de pinho: harpas, liras, tamborins, chocalhos e címbalos.

And 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.

6 Q uando chegaram à eira de Nacom, Uzá esticou o braço e segurou a arca de Deus, porque os bois haviam tropeçado.

And 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.

7 A ira do Senhor acendeu-se contra Uzá por seu ato de irreverência. Por isso Deus o feriu, e ele morreu ali mesmo, ao lado da arca de Deus.

And 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.

8 D avi ficou contrariado porque o Senhor, em sua ira, havia fulminado Uzá. Até hoje aquele lugar é chamado Perez-Uzá.

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

9 N aquele dia Davi teve medo do Senhor e se perguntou: “Como vou conseguir levar a arca do Senhor ?”

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

10 P or isso ele desistiu de levar a arca do Senhor para a Cidade de Davi. Em vez disso, levou-a para a casa de Obede-Edom, de Gate.

So 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.

11 A arca do Senhor ficou na casa dele por três meses, e o Senhor o abençoou e a toda a sua família.

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 E disseram ao rei Davi: “O Senhor tem abençoado a família de Obede-Edom e tudo o que ele possui, por causa da arca de Deus”. Então Davi, com grande festa, foi à casa de Obede-Edom e ordenou que levassem a arca de Deus para a Cidade de Davi.

And 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.

13 Q uando os que carregavam a arca do Senhor davam seis passos, ele sacrificava um boi e um novilho gordo.

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

14 D avi, vestindo o colete sacerdotal de linho, foi dançando com todas as suas forças perante o Senhor,

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

15 e nquanto ele e todos os israelitas levavam a arca do Senhor ao som de gritos de alegria e de trombetas.

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

16 A conteceu que, entrando a arca do Senhor na Cidade de Davi, Mical, filha de Saul, observava de uma janela. E, ao ver o rei Davi dançando e celebrando perante o Senhor, ela o desprezou em seu coração.

And 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.

17 E les trouxeram a arca do Senhor e a colocaram na tenda que Davi lhe havia preparado; e Davi ofereceu holocaustos e sacrifícios de comunhão perante o Senhor.

And 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.

18 A pós oferecer os holocaustos e os sacrifícios de comunhão, ele abençoou o povo em nome do Senhor dos Exércitos,

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 e deu um pão, um bolo de tâmaras e um bolo de uvas passas a cada homem e a cada mulher israelita. Depois todo o povo partiu, cada um para a sua casa.

And 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.

20 V oltando Davi para casa para abençoar sua família, Mical, filha de Saul, saiu ao seu encontro e lhe disse: “Como o rei de Israel se destacou hoje, tirando o manto na frente das escravas de seus servos, como um homem vulgar!”

Then 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!

21 M as Davi disse a Mical: “Foi perante o Senhor que eu dancei, perante aquele que me escolheu em lugar de seu pai ou de qualquer outro da família dele, quando me designou soberano sobre o povo do Senhor, sobre Israel; perante o Senhor celebrarei

And 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.

22 e me rebaixarei ainda mais, e me humilharei aos meus próprios olhos. Mas serei honrado por essas escravas que você mencionou”.

And 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.

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

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