2 Samuel 6
EasyEnglish Bible
David brings the Covenant Box to Jerusalem
6 David chose 30,000 of the best soldiers in Israel. 2 He took them with him to Baalah, a town in Judah. He wanted to bring God's Covenant Box from there to Jerusalem. The Israelites called it by the name of the Lord Almighty. He sits as King between the two cherubs that are on the top of the Covenant Box. 3 They put the Covenant Box on a new cart. They took it out of Abinadab's house which was on the hill. Abinadab's sons, Uzzah and Ahio, were leading the new cart 4 which had the Covenant Box on it. Ahio walked in front of the Covenant Box. 5 David and all Israel's people were singing and dancing with all their strength to praise the Lord. They made music with harps, lyres, tambourines, shakers and cymbals.[a]
6 They reached the place of Nacon's threshing floor. There the oxen that were pulling the cart almost fell. So Uzzah reached out to hold God's Covenant Box to stop it falling. 7 The Lord was very angry with Uzzah because he did not respect God's rules.[b] He immediately knocked Uzzah down to the ground. Uzzah died there, beside the Covenant Box.
8 David was angry because the Lord had punished Uzzah. So he called that place ‘Perez Uzzah’. That is still its name today.[c]
9 So David now became afraid of the Lord. He said, ‘The Lord's Covenant Box is too holy to come with me!’ 10 He no longer wanted to take the Lord's Covenant Box to the City of David to be with him there. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom, who came from Gath. 11 The Lord's Covenant Box stayed in Obed-Edom's house for three months. During that time, the Lord blessed Obed-Edom and all the people in his house.
12 People told King David, ‘The Lord has blessed Obed-Edom's family and everything that belongs to him, because of the Covenant Box.’
So David went back to Obed-Edom's house. He was now happy to bring the Covenant Box from there to the City of David. 13 The men who were carrying it walked six steps and they stopped. Then David offered a bull and a fat calf as sacrifices to God. 14 David was wearing a linen ephod.[d] He danced with all his strength to worship the Lord. 15 He and all the Israelites brought the Lord's Covenant Box to Jerusalem. They shouted and they made a loud noise with trumpets.
16 While they were bringing the Lord's Covenant Box into the City of David, Saul's daughter Michal looked out through a window. She saw what King David was doing. He was jumping and dancing to worship the Lord. Michal felt ashamed of him.
17 David had put up a special tent for the Covenant Box, so they took it there. They put it in its place inside the tent. Then David offered burnt offerings and friendship offerings to the Lord.
18 After David had offered those sacrifices, he prayed that the Lord Almighty would bless the people. 19 Then he gave a gift to every man and woman in the crowd of Israelite people. Each person received a loaf of bread, some dates and some raisins. Then all the people went to their homes.
20 David returned to his home to bless his own family. As he arrived, Saul's daughter Michal came out to meet him. She said, ‘The king of Israel has brought honour to himself today, has he? No, he has brought shame on himself! Even your officers' slave girls have seen how stupid you are. You have made your body bare like a useless fool!’
21 David said to Michal, ‘I was worshipping the Lord with joy! It was the Lord who chose me to be the ruler of his people, Israel. He chose me instead of your father or any of his family. 22 I am ready to bring even more shame on myself. Even I will be ashamed of myself! But the slave girls that you spoke about will still give me honour!’
23 Saul's daughter Michal gave birth to no children all her life.
2 Samuel 6
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
6 At pinisan uli ni David ang lahat na piling lalake sa Israel, na tatlong pung libo.
2 At bumangon si David at yumaon na kasama ng buong bayan na nasa kaniya, mula sa Baale Juda, upang iahon mula roon ang kaban ng Dios, na tinatawag sa Pangalan, sa makatuwid baga'y sa pangalan ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na tumatahan sa gitna ng mga querubin.
3 At kanilang inilagay ang kaban ng Dios sa isang bagong karo, at kanilang inilabas sa bahay ni Abinadab na nasa burol: at si Uzza at si Ahio, na mga anak ni Abinadab, ay siyang nagpatakbo ng bagong karo.
4 At kanilang inilabas sa bahay ni Abinadab, na nasa burol, pati ng kaban ng Dios: at si Ahio ay nagpauna sa kaban.
5 At si David at ang buong sangbahayan ni Israel ay nagsitugtog sa harap ng Panginoon ng sarisaring panugtog na kahoy na abeto, at ng mga alpa, at ng mga salterio, at ng mga pandereta, at ng mga kastaneta at ng mga simbalo.
6 At nang sila'y magsidating sa giikan ni Nachon, iniunat ni Uzza ang kaniyang kamay sa kaban ng Dios, at hinawakan; sapagka't ang mga baka ay nangatisod.
7 At ang galit ng Panginoon ay nagalab laban kay Uzza; at sinaktan siya ng Dios doon dahil sa kaniyang kamalian; at doo'y namatay siya sa siping ng kaban ng Dios.
8 At hindi minagaling ni David, sapagka't nagalit ang Panginoon kay Uzza: at kaniyang tinawag ang dakong yaon na Perez-uzza hanggang sa araw na ito.
9 At natakot si David sa Panginoon sa araw na yaon; at kaniyang sinabi, Paanong madadala rito ang kaban ng Panginoon sa akin?
10 Sa gayo'y hindi inilipat ni David ang kaban ng Panginoon sa kaniya sa bayan ni David, kundi iniliko ni David sa bahay ni Obed-edom na Getheo.
11 At ang kaban ng Panginoon ay natira sa bahay ni Obed-edom na Getheo na tatlong buwan: at pinagpala ng Panginoon si Obed-edom, at ang kaniyang buong sangbahayan.
12 At nasaysay sa haring kay David, na sinasabi, Pinagpala ng Panginoon ang sangbahayan ni Obed-edom, at ang lahat ng nauukol sa kaniya, dahil sa kaban ng Dios. At yumaon si David at iniahon ang kaban ng Dios mula sa bahay ni Obed-edom, hanggang sa bayan ni David, na may kagalakan.
13 At nagkagayon na nang yaong mga nagdadala ng kaban ng Panginoon ay makalakad ng anim na hakbang, siya'y naghain ng isang baka at isang pinataba.
14 At nagsayaw si David ng kaniyang buong lakas sa harap ng Panginoon; at si David ay nabibigkisan ng isang epod na lino.
15 Sa gayo'y iniahon ni David at ng buong sangbahayan ng Israel ang kaban ng Panginoon, na may hiyawan, at may tunog ng pakakak.
16 At nagkagayon, sa pagpapasok ng kaban ng Panginoon sa bayan ni David, na si Michal na anak ni Saul ay tumitingin sa dungawan, at nakita na ang haring si David ay naglulukso at nagsasayaw sa harap ng Panginoon; at kaniyang niwalan ng kabuluhan siya sa kaniyang puso.
17 At kanilang ipinasok ang kaban ng Panginoon, at inilagay sa kaniyang dako, sa gitna ng tolda na itinayo ni David: at naghandog si David ng mga handog na susunugin at mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan sa harap ng Panginoon.
18 At nang makatapos si David na maghandog ng mga handog na susunugin at ng mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan, kaniyang binasbasan ang bayan sa pangalan ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.
19 At kaniyang binahagi sa buong bayan, sa makatuwid baga'y sa buong karamihan ng Israel, sa mga lalake at gayon din sa mga babae, sa bawa't isa ay isang tinapay at isang bahaging lamang kati, at isang binilong pasas. Sa gayo'y ang buong bayan ay yumaon bawa't isa sa kaniyang bahay.
20 Nang magkagayo'y bumalik si David upang basbasan ang kaniyang sangbahayan. At si Michal na anak ni Saul ay lumabas na sinalubong si David, at sinabi, Pagkaluwalhati ngayon ng hari sa Israel, na siya'y naghubad ngayon sa mga mata ng mga babaing lingkod ng kaniyang mga lingkod, na gaya ng naghuhubad na kahiyahiya ang isang walang kabuluhang tao.
21 At sinabi ni David kay Michal, Yao'y sa harap ng Panginoon, na siyang pumili sa akin na higit sa iyong ama, at sa buong sangbahayan niya, upang ihalal ako na prinsipe sa bayan ng Panginoon, sa Israel: kaya't ako'y tutugtog sa harap ng Panginoon.
22 At ako'y magpapakawalang kabuluhan pa kay sa yaon, at ako'y magpapakababa sa aking sariling paningin: nguni't sa mga babaing lingkod na iyong sinalita, ay pararangalan ako.
23 At si Michal na anak ni Saul ay hindi nagkaanak hanggang sa araw ng kaniyang kamatayan.
2 Samuel 6
21st Century King James Version
6 Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 And David arose, and went with all the people who were with him from Baale of Judah to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the Lord of hosts who dwelleth between the cherubims.
3 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, that was at Gibeah; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which wasat Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God; and Ahio went before the ark.
5 And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps and on psalteries, and on timbrels and on cornets, and on cymbals.
6 And when they came to Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen shook it.
7 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
8 And David was displeased because the Lord had broken out upon Uzzah; and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah [that is, The breach of Uzzah] to this day.
9 And David was afraid of the Lord that day and said, “How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?”
10 So David would not remove the ark of the Lord unto him into the City of David, but David carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.
11 And the ark of the Lord continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months; and the Lord blessed Obededom and all his household.
12 And it was told King David, saying, “The Lord hath blessed the house of Obededom and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the City of David with gladness.
13 And it was so that, when those who bore the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
14 And David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.
16 And as the ark of the Lord came into the City of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.
17 And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in his place in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
18 And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread and a good piece of flesh and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.
20 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 today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!”
21 And David said unto Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me before thy father and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel; therefore will I play before the Lord.
22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight; and of the maidservants whom thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be held in honor.”
23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
