¹Ja Taavet kogus taas kokku kõik Iisraeli valitud mehed, kolmkümmend tuhat.

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

²Ja Taavet võttis kätte ning läks koos kogu rahvaga, kes oli tema juures, Juuda Baalasse, et tuua sealt Jumala laegas, mille juures hüütakse appi nime, vägede Issanda nime, kes istub keerubite peal.

²David arose, and went with all the people who were with him, from Baale Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, even the name of Yahweh of Armies who sits above the cherubim.

³Ja nad vedasid Jumala laegast uue vankriga ning tõid selle ära künkal asuvast Abinadabi kojast; Ussa ja Ahjo, Abinadabi pojad, juhtisid seda uut vankrit.

³They set the ark of God on 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.

⁴Nõnda tõid nad ära Jumala laeka künkal asuvast Abinadabi kojast, ja Ahjo käis laeka ees.

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

⁵Ja Taavet ja kogu Iisraeli sugu tantsisid Issanda ees igasugu küpressipuust mänguriistadega: kannelde, naablite, trummide, käristite ja simblitega.

⁵David and all the house of Israel played before Yahweh with all kinds of instruments made of fir wood, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with castanets, and with cymbals.

⁶Aga kui nad jõudsid Naakoni rehealuse juurde, pani Ussa oma käe Jumala laeka külge ja haaras sellest kinni, sest veised tahtsid ümber ajada.

⁶When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached for the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the cattle stumbled.

⁷Siis Issanda viha süttis põlema Ussa vastu ning Jumal lõi tema eksimuse pärast sinna maha ja ta suri seal Jumala laeka juures.

⁷The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzzah; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.

⁸Aga Taavet vihastas, et Issand oli Ussa lõhki rebinud; ja ta pani sellele paigale nimeks Perets-Ussa, nagu see on tänapäevani.

⁸David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken forth on Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah, to this day.

⁹Ja Taavet kartis sel päeval Issandat ning ütles: 'Kuidas võib Issanda laegas tulla minu juurde?'

⁹David was afraid of Yahweh that day; and he said, “How shall the ark of Yahweh come to me?”

¹⁰Ja Taavet ei tahtnud lasta Issanda laegast tuua enese juurde Taaveti linna, vaid laskis sel pöörduda gatlase Oobed-Edomi kotta.

¹⁰So David would not move the ark of Yahweh to be with him in the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

¹¹Ja Issanda laegas jäi gatlase Oobed-Edomi kotta kolmeks kuuks; ja Issand õnnistas Oobed-Edomit ja kogu ta koda.

¹¹The ark of Yahweh remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months: and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom, and all his house.

¹²Kui kuningas Taavetile jutustati ja öeldi: 'Issand on õnnistanud Oobed-Edomi koda ja kõike, mis tal on, Jumala laeka pärast', siis Taavet läks ja tõi rõõmsa meelega Jumala laeka Oobed-Edomi kojast üles Taaveti linna.

¹²It was told king David, saying, “Yahweh has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that pertains to him, because 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 joy.

¹³Kui Issanda laeka kandjad olid astunud kuus sammu, siis ohverdas ta härja ja nuumveise.

¹³It was so, that, when those who bore the ark of Yahweh had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.

¹⁴Ja Taavet tantsis kõigest väest Issanda ees; Taavet oli riietatud ainult linasesse õlarüüsse.

¹⁴David danced before Yahweh with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.

¹⁵Ja Taavet ja kogu Iisraeli sugu tõid Issanda laeka üles hõisates ja sarve puhudes.

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

¹⁶Aga kui Issanda laegas jõudis Taaveti linna, vaatas Sauli tütar Miikal aknast välja ja nähes kuningas Taavetit hüppavat ja kargavat Issanda ees, põlgas ta teda oma südames.

¹⁶It was so, as the ark of Yahweh 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 Yahweh; and she despised him in her heart.

¹⁷Kui Issanda laegas oli viidud ja asetatud ta paika keset telki, mille Taavet oli sellele püstitanud, siis ohverdas Taavet Issanda ees põletus- ja tänuohvreid.

¹⁷They brought in the ark of Yahweh, 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 Yahweh.

¹⁸Ja kui Taavet oli lõpetanud põletus- ja tänuohvrite ohverdamise, siis ta õnnistas rahvast vägede Issanda nimel.

¹⁸When David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh of Armies.

¹⁹Ja ta jagas kogu rahvale, kõigile Iisraeli hulkadele, niihästi meestele kui naistele, igaühele ühe leivakaku ning datli- ja rosinakoogi. Siis läks kogu rahvas ära, igaüks koju.

¹⁹He gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, dates, and raisins. So all the people departed everyone to his house.

²⁰Ja kui Taavet jõudis koju oma peret õnnistama, siis tuli Miikal, Sauli tütar, Taavetile vastu ja ütles: 'Kuidas küll Iisraeli kuningas on täna ennast austanud, paljastades ennast täna oma sulaste teenijate silme ees nagu alp, kes sel kombel ennast täiesti paljastab!'

²⁰Then David returned to bless his household. Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”

²¹Aga Taavet ütles Miikalile: 'Issanda ees, kes mind on valinud sinu isa ja kogu ta soo asemel ja kes käskis mind olla vürstiks Issanda rahvale Iisraelile, jah, Issanda ees olen ma tantsinud.

²¹David said to Michal, “It was before Yahweh, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of Yahweh, over Israel. Therefore will I celebrate before Yahweh.

²²Ma tahan ennast alandada sellest veelgi rohkem ja olla iseenese silmis alandlik! Aga teenijate juures, kellest sa rääkisid, olen ma auväärne.'

²²I will be yet more vile than this, and will be base in my own sight. But of the handmaids of whom you have spoken, they shall honor me.”

²³Ja Miikalil, Sauli tütrel, ei olnud last kuni surmani.

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