¹Kemudian Daud memanggil lagi prajurit-prajurit yang terbaik di Israel supaya berkumpul, jumlahnya 30.000 orang.

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

²Mereka dipimpinnya menuju ke Baale-Yehuda, untuk mengambil dari sana Peti Perjanjian yang disebut dengan nama TUHAN Mahakuasa yang bertahta di atas kerub-kerub.

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.

³Peti Perjanjian itu diambil dari rumah Abinadab di atas bukit dan dinaikkan ke dalam pedati yang baru. Lalu Uza dan Ahio, anak-anak Abinadab mengiringi pedati itu; Uza berjalan di sampingnya,

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.

⁴dan Ahio berjalan di depannya.

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.

⁵Daud dan seluruh bangsa Israel berjalan di depan Peti itu sambil menari-nari sekuat tenaga dan bernyanyi-nyanyi untuk menghormati TUHAN. Mereka bermain kecapi, gambus, rebana, kelentingan, dan simbal.

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.

⁶Ketika mereka sampai di tempat pengirikan gandum milik Nakhon, sapi-sapi yang menarik pedati itu tersandung, lalu Uza mengulurkan tangannya dan memegang Peti Perjanjian itu supaya jangan jatuh.

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.

⁷Pada saat itu juga TUHAN Allah menjadi marah kepada Uza, karena perbuatannya itu merupakan penghinaan kepada TUHAN. Uza dibunuh-Nya di tempat itu, di dekat Peti Perjanjian.

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.

⁸Maka sejak saat itu tempat itu disebut Peres-Uza. Daud marah karena TUHAN membinasakan Uza.

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

⁹Tetapi Daud takut juga kepada TUHAN dan berkata, "Sekarang bagaimana Peti Perjanjian itu dapat kubawa?"

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

¹⁰Sebab itu ia tidak mau lagi membawa Peti Perjanjian itu ke Yerusalem, melainkan menyimpannya di rumah Obed-Edom orang Gat.

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.

¹¹Peti Perjanjian itu tinggal di situ tiga bulan lamanya, dan TUHAN memberkati Obed-Edom dan keluarganya.

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

¹²Raja Daud mendengar bahwa TUHAN memberkati keluarga Obed-Edom dan segala miliknya karena Peti Perjanjian itu. Maka pergilah ia ke rumah Obed-Edom, mengambil Peti untuk memindahkannya ke Yerusalem dengan perayaan besar.

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.

¹³Ketika orang-orang yang mengangkat Peti Perjanjian itu sudah berjalan enam langkah, Daud menyuruh mereka berhenti. Lalu ia mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN, yaitu sapi jantan dan anak sapi yang digemukkan.

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

¹⁴Kemudian Daud menari-nari dengan penuh semangat untuk menghormati TUHAN. Pada waktu itu ia hanya memakai sarung linen pendek yang diikat pada pinggangnya.

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

¹⁵Demikianlah Daud dan seluruh rakyat Israel memindahkan Peti Perjanjian itu ke Yerusalem, diiringi sorak-sorai dan bunyi trompet.

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

¹⁶Ketika Peti itu sedang dibawa masuk ke dalam kota, Mikhal putri Saul menjenguk dari jendela lalu melihat Raja Daud melompat-lompat dan menari-nari untuk menghormati TUHAN, dan Mikhal merasa muak melihat Daud.

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.

¹⁷Peti Perjanjian itu diletakkan di tempatnya di dalam kemah yang telah dipasang oleh Daud untuk Peti itu. Kemudian Daud mempersembahkan kurban bakaran dan kurban perdamaian kepada TUHAN.

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.

¹⁸Lalu ia memberkati rakyat Israel dengan nama TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa.

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.

¹⁹Kemudian membagi-bagikan makanan kepada mereka semua. Setiap orang yang ada di situ baik laki-laki maupun wanita diberinya sepotong daging panggang, roti dan kue kismis. Setelah itu mereka semua pulang ke rumahnya masing-masing.

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.

²⁰Pada waktu Daud pulang ke istana untuk memberi salam kepada keluarganya, Mikhal ke luar mendapatkan Daud dan berkata, "Hari ini raja Israel sungguh-sungguh membuat dirinya terhormat! Ia telah bertelanjang seperti orang dungu yang tak tahu malu di depan budak-budak perempuan milik para pegawai istana!"

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!”

²¹Daud menjawab, "Aku menari untuk menghormati TUHAN, yang telah menolak ayahmu serta keluarganya, lalu memilih aku menjadi pemimpin Israel, umat-Nya. Sebab itu aku akan terus menari untuk menghormati TUHAN.

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.

²²Bahkan aku bersedia dihina lebih daripada tadi. Boleh saja engkau memandang rendah kepadaku, tetapi budak-budak yang kausebutkan tadi, akan menghargai aku!"

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.”

²³Mikhal, putri Saul itu tidak beranak seumur hidupnya.

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