2 Samuel 6

New International Reader’s Version

from Biblica
1 Again David brought together the best soldiers in Israel. The total number was 30,000.2 He and all his men went to Baalah in Judah. They wanted to bring the ark of God up to Jerusalem from there. The ark is named after the LORD. He is the LORD who rules over all. He sits on his throne between the cherubim that are on the ark.3 The ark of God was placed on a new cart. Then it was brought from Abinadab’s house, which was on a hill. Uzzah and Ahio were guiding the cart. They were the sons of Abinadab.4 The ark of God was on the cart. Ahio was walking in front of it.5 David was celebrating with all his might in front of the LORD. So was the whole community of Israel. All of them were playing castanets, harps, lyres, tambourines, rattles and cymbals.6 They came to the threshing-floor of Nakon. The oxen nearly fell there. So Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God.7 Then the LORD was very angry with Uzzah. That’s because what Uzzah did showed that he didn’t have any respect for the LORD. So God struck him down. He died there beside the ark of God.8 David was angry because the LORD’s great anger had broken out against Uzzah. That’s why the place is still called Perez Uzzah to this day.9 David was afraid of the LORD that day. He asked, ‘How can the ark of the LORD ever be brought to me?’10 He didn’t want to take the ark of the LORD to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom. Obed-Edom was from Gath.11 The ark of the LORD remained in Obed-Edom’s house for three months. And the LORD blessed him and his whole family.12 King David was told, ‘The LORD has blessed the family of Obed-Edom. He has also blessed everything that belongs to him. That’s because the ark of God is in Obed-Edom’s house.’ So David went down there to bring up the ark. With great joy he brought it up from the house of Obed-Edom. He took it to the City of David.13 Those carrying the ark of the LORD took six steps forward. Then David sacrificed a bull and a fat calf.14 David was wearing a sacred linen apron. He danced in front of the LORD with all his might.15 He did it while he was bringing up the ark of the LORD. The whole community of Israel helped him bring it up. They shouted. They blew trumpets.16 The ark of the LORD was brought into the City of David. Saul’s daughter Michal was watching from a window. She saw King David leaping and dancing in front of the LORD. That made her hate him in her heart.17 The ark of the LORD was brought into Jerusalem. It was put in its place in the tent David had set up for it. David sacrificed burnt offerings and friendship offerings to the LORD.18 After he finished sacrificing those offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD who rules over all.19 He gave to each Israelite man and woman a loaf of bread. He also gave each one a date cake and a raisin cake. Then all the people went home.20 David returned home to bless his family. Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. She said, ‘You are the king of Israel. You have really brought honour to yourself today, haven’t you? You have gone around half-naked right in front of the female slaves of your officials. You acted like a fool!’21 David said to Michal, ‘I did it to honour the LORD. He chose me instead of your father or anyone else in Saul’s family. The LORD appointed me ruler over his people Israel. I will celebrate to honour the LORD.22 And that’s not all. I will bring even less honour to myself. I will bring even more shame on myself. But those female slaves you spoke about will honour me.’23 Saul’s daughter Michal didn’t have any children as long as she lived.

1 Davut İsrail'deki bütün seçme adamları topladı. Sayıları otuz bin kişiydi. (1Ch 13:1; 1Ch 16:1)2 Böylece Davut'la ordusu, sandığın üzerindeki Keruvlar arasında taht kuran Her Şeye Egemen RAB'bin adıyla anılan Tanrı'nın Sandığı'nı getirmek için Baale-Yahuda'ya gittiler.3-4 Tanrı'nın Sandığı'nı Avinadav'ın tepedeki evinden alıp yeni bir arabaya koydular. Tanrı'nın Sandığı'nı taşıyan yeni arabayı Avinadav'ın oğulları Uzza'yla Ahyo sürüyordu. Ahyo sandığın önünden yürüyordu.5 Bu arada Davut'la bütün İsrail halkı da RAB'bin önünde lir, çenk, tef, çıngırak ve ziller eşliğinde ezgiler okuyarak var güçleriyle[1] bu olayı kutluyorlardı.6 Nakon'un harman yerine vardıklarında öküzler tökezledi. Bu nedenle Uzza elini uzatıp Tanrı'nın Sandığı'nı tuttu.7 RAB Tanrı saygısızca davranan Uzza'ya öfkelenerek onu orada yere çaldı. Uzza Tanrı'nın Sandığı'nın yanında öldü.8 Davut, RAB'bin Uzza'yı cezalandırmasına öfkelendi. O günden bu yana oraya Peres-Uzza[2] denilir.9 Davut o gün RAB'den korkarak, ‹‹RAB'bin Sandığı nasıl olur da bana gelir?›› diye düşündü.10 RAB'bin Sandığı'nı Davut Kenti'ne götürmek istemedi. Bunun yerine sandığı Gatlı Ovet-Edom'un evine götürdü.11 RAB'bin Sandığı Gatlı Ovet-Edom'un evinde üç ay kaldı. RAB Ovet-Edom'u ve bütün ailesini kutsadı.12 ‹‹Tanrı'nın Sandığı'ndan ötürü RAB Ovet-Edom'un ailesini ve ona ait her şeyi kutsadı›› diye Kral Davut'a bildirildi. Böylece Davut gidip Tanrı'nın Sandığı'nı Ovet-Edom'un evinden Davut Kenti'ne sevinçle getirdi.13 RAB'bin Sandığı'nı taşıyanlar altı adım atınca, Davut bir boğayla besili bir dana kurban etti.14 Keten efod kuşanmış Davut, RAB'bin önünde var gücüyle oynuyordu.15 Davut'la bütün İsrail halkı, sevinç naraları ve boru sesi eşliğinde RAB'bin Sandığı'nı getiriyorlardı.16 RAB'bin Sandığı Davut Kenti'ne varınca, Saul'un kızı Mikal pencereden baktı. RAB'bin önünde oynayıp zıplayan Kral Davut'u görünce, onu küçümsedi.17 RAB'bin Sandığı'nı getirip Davut'un bu amaçla kurduğu çadırın içindeki yerine koydular. Davut RAB'be yakmalık sunular ve esenlik sunuları sundu.18 Yakmalık sunuları ve esenlik sunularını sunmayı bitirince, Her Şeye Egemen RAB'bin adıyla halkı kutsadı.19 Ardından kadın erkek herkese, bütün İsrail topluluğuna birer somun ekmekle birer hurma ve üzüm pestili dağıttı. Sonra herkes evine döndü.20 Davut ailesini kutsamak için eve döndüğünde, Saul'un kızı Mikal onu karşılamaya çıktı. Davut'a şöyle dedi: ‹‹İsrail Kralı bugün ne güzel bir ün kazandırdı kendine! Değersiz biri gibi, kullarının cariyeleri önünde soyundun.››21 Davut, ‹‹Baban ve bütün soyu yerine beni seçen ve halkı İsrail'e önder atayan RAB'bin önünde oynadım!›› diye karşılık verdi, ‹‹Evet, RAB'bin önünde oynayacağım.22 Üstelik kendimi bundan daha da küçük düşüreceğim, hiçe sayacağım. Ama sözünü ettiğin o cariyeler beni onurlandıracaklar.››23 Saul'un kızı Mikal'ın ölene dek çocuğu olmadı.
