¹وجمع داود ايضا جميع المنتخبين في اسرائيل ثلاثين الفا.

¹And David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

²وقام داود وذهب هو وجميع الشعب الذي معه من بعلة يهوذا ليصعدوا من هناك تابوت الله الذي يدعى عليه بالاسم اسم رب الجنود الجالس على الكروبيم.

²And 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, the name of Jehovah of hosts who sitteth between the cherubim.

³فاركبوا تابوت الله على عجلة جديدة وحملوه من بيت ابيناداب الذي في الاكمة وكان عزّة واخيو ابنا ابيناداب يسوقان العجلة الجديدة.

³And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was upon the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.

⁴فاخذوها من بيت ابيناداب الذي في الاكمة مع تابوت الله. وكان اخيو يسير امام التابوت

⁴And they brought it with the ark of God out of the house of Abinadab which was upon the hill; and Ahio went before the ark.

⁵وداود وكل بيت اسرائيل يلعبون امام الرب بكل انواع الآلات من خشب السرو بالعيدان وبالرباب وبالدفوف وبالجنوك وبالصنوج.

⁵And David and all the house of Israel played before Jehovah on all manner of [instruments made of] cypress wood, with harps, and with lutes, and with tambours, and with sistra, and with cymbals.

⁶ولما انتهوا الى بيدر ناخون مدّ عزّة يده الى تابوت الله وامسكه لان الثيران انشمصت.

⁶And when they came to Nachon's threshing-floor, Uzzah reached after the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen had stumbled.

⁷فحمي غضب الرب على عزّة وضربه الله هناك لاجل غفله فمات هناك لدى تابوت الله.

⁷And 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.

⁸فاغتاظ داود لان الرب اقتحم عزّة اقتحاما وسمّى ذلك الموضع فارص عزّة الى هذا اليوم.

⁸And David was indignant, because Jehovah had made a breach upon Uzzah; and he called that place Perez-Uzzah to this day.

⁹وخاف داود من الرب في ذلك اليوم وقال كيف ياتي اليّ تابوت الرب.

⁹And David was afraid of Jehovah that day, and said, How shall the ark of Jehovah come to me?

¹⁰ولم يشأ داود ان ينقل تابوت الرب اليه الى مدينة داود فمال به داود الى بيت عوبيد ادوم الجتّي.

¹⁰So David would not bring the ark of Jehovah home unto himself into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

¹¹وبقي تابوت الرب في بيت عوبيد ادوم الجتّي ثلاثة اشهر. وبارك الرب عوبيد ادوم وكل بيته

¹¹And the ark of Jehovah remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months; and Jehovah blessed Obed-Edom and all his household.

¹²فأخبر الملك داود وقيل له قد بارك الرب بيت عوبيد ادوم وكل ما له بسبب تابوت الله. فذهب داود واصعد تابوت الله من بيت عوبيد ادوم الى مدينة داود بفرح.

¹²And it was told king David, saying, Jehovah has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that is his, 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.

¹³وكان كلما خطا حاملوا تابوت الرب ست خطوات يذبح ثورا وعجلا معلوفا.

¹³And it was so, that when they that bore the ark of Jehovah had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatted beast.

¹⁴وكان داود يرقص بكل قوته امام الرب. وكان داود متنطقا بافود من كتان.

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

¹⁵فاصعد داود وجميع بيت اسرائيل تابوت الرب بالهتاف وبصوت البوق.

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

¹⁶ولما دخل تابوت الرب مدينة داود اشرفت ميكال بنت شاول من الكوّة ورأت الملك داود يطفر ويرقص امام الرب فاحتقرته في قلبها.

¹⁶And as the ark of Jehovah came into the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before Jehovah; and she despised him in her heart.

¹⁷فادخلوا تابوت الرب واوقفوه في مكانه في وسط الخيمة التي نصبها له داود واصعد داود محرقات امام الرب وذبائح سلامة.

¹⁷And they brought in the ark of Jehovah, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had spread for it. And David offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah.

¹⁸ولما انتهى داود من اصعاد المحرقات وذبائح السلامة بارك الشعب باسم رب الجنود.

¹⁸And when David had ended offering up the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah of hosts.

¹⁹وقسم على جميع الشعب على كل جمهور اسرائيل رجالا ونساء على كل واحد رغيف خبز وكاس خمر وقرص زبيب. ثم ذهب كل الشعب كل واحد الى بيته

¹⁹And he dealt to all the people, to the whole multitude of Israel, both men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a measure [of wine], and a raisin-cake. And all the people departed every one to his house.

²⁰ورجع داود ليبارك بيته فخرجت ميكال بنت شاول لاستقبال داود وقالت ما كان اكرم ملك اسرائيل اليوم حيث تكشّف اليوم في اعين إماء عبيده كما يتكشّف احد السفهاء.

²⁰And David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How honourable did the king of Israel make himself to-day, who uncovered himself to-day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the lewd fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!

²¹فقال داود لميكال انما امام الرب الذي اختارني دون ابيك ودون كل بيته ليقيمني رئيسا على شعب الرب اسرائيل. فلعبت امام الرب.

²¹And David said to Michal, It was before Jehovah, who chose me rather than thy father, and than all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of Jehovah, over Israel; and I played before Jehovah.

²²واني اتصاغر دون ذلك واكون وضيعا في عيني نفسي واما عند الاماء التي ذكرت فاتمجد.

²²And I will make myself yet more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight; and of the handmaids that thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

²³ولم يكن لميكال بنت شاول ولد الى يوم موتها

²³And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
