Igjen samlet David alle de utvalgte mennene i Israel, tretti tusen i tallet.

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

Og David brøt opp og dro med alt folket som var med ham, fra Baale i Juda, for å hente opp Guds ark, den som blir kalt ved navnet til Herren, hærskarenes Gud, som troner mellom kjerubene.

And David arose, and went with all the people that 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 that dwelleth between the cherubims.

De satte Guds ark på en ny vogn og førte den ut av huset til Abinadab i Gibea. Ussa og Ahjo, Abinadabs sønner, styrte den nye vognen.

And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.

De førte den ut fra Abinadabs hus i Gibea med Guds ark, og Ahjo gikk foran arken.

And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.

David og hele Israels hus danset for Herren med alle slags instrumenter av sypress; harper, lyrer, tamburiner, bjeller og cymbaler.

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.

Da de kom til Nakons treskeplass, rakte Ussa ut hånden mot Guds ark og grep fatt i den, for oksene snublet.

And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.

Da flammet Herrens vrede opp mot Ussa, og Gud slo ham der for hans feilgrep; han døde der ved Guds ark.

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.

David ble misfornøyd fordi Herren hadde slått ned Ussa, og han kalte stedet for Peres-Ussa til denne dag.

And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perez-uzzah to this day.

Den dagen ble David redd for Herren og sa: Hvordan kan Herrens ark komme til meg?

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

David ville ikke ta Herrens ark med seg inn i Davids by, men fraktet den til huset til Obed-Edom fra Gat.

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 Obed-edom the Gittite.

Herrens ark ble værende i Obed-Edoms hus fra Gat i tre måneder, og Herren velsignet Obed-Edom og hele hans hus.

And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obed-edom, and all his household.

Det ble fortalt til kong David at Herren hadde velsignet Obed-Edoms hus og alt han eide på grunn av Guds ark. Da dro David og brakte Guds ark opp fra Obed-Edoms hus til Davids by med glede.

And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, 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 Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.

Når de som bar Herrens ark hadde gått seks skritt, ofret han okser og gjødde kalver.

And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

David danset med all sin kraft for Herren, kledd i en linnedrakt.

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

David og hele Israels hus førte Herrens ark opp med jubel og basunklang.

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

Da Herrens ark kom inn i Davids by, kikket Mikal, Sauls datter, ut av vinduet og så kong David hoppe og danse for Herren; hun foraktet ham i sitt hjerte.

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.

De førte Herrens ark inn og satte den på plass i teltet som David hadde satt opp for den; og David ofret brennoffer og fredsoffer for Herren.

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.

Da David var ferdig med å ofre brennofferet og fredsofferet, velsignet han folket i Herrens, hærskarenes Guds, navn.

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.

Han delte ut til hele folket, alle Israels menn og kvinner, hver en kake, et stykke kjøtt og en krukke vin. Så dro hele folket hjem.

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.

Da David vendte tilbake for å velsigne sitt hus, kom Mikal, Sauls datter, ut for å møte ham og sa: Hvor herlig var Israels konge som viste seg avkledd for tjenestepikenes øyne, som en av de lettere menn.

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!

David svarte Mikal: Det var for Herren, som valgte meg fremfor din far og hele hans hus, og som satte meg til fører over Herrens folk, Israel; for Herren vil jeg juble.

And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which 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.

Jeg vil bli regnet enda lavere enn dette og ydmyke meg selv, men de tjenestepikene du snakket om, hos dem vil jeg bli høyt aktet.

And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

Og Mikal, Sauls datter, fikk aldri barn så lenge hun levde.

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