2 Samuel 6

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Reunió de nuevo David a todo lo mejor de Israel, 30.000 hombres.	1 Then David again gathered together all the elect men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 Se levantó David y partió con todo el pueblo que estaba con él a Baalá de Judá para subir desde allí el arca de Dios que lleva el nombre de Yahveh Sebaot que se sienta sobre los querubines.	2 And David arose and went away, with the entire people who were with him from the men of Judah, so that they might lead back the ark of God, over which is invoked the name of the Lord of hosts, who sits upon the cherubim above it.
3 Cargaron el arca de Dios en una carreta nueva y la llevaron de la casa de Abinadab que está en la loma. Uzzá y Ajyó, hijos de Abinadab, conducían la carreta con el arca de Dios.	3 And they placed the ark of God on a new cart. And they took it from the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeon. And Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4 Uzzá caminaba al lado del arca de Dios y Ajyó iba delante de ella.	4 And when they had taken it from the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeon, Ahio preceded the ark as the keeper of the ark of God.
5 David y toda la casa de Israel bailaban delante de Yahveh con todas sus fuerzas, cantando con cítaras, arpas, adufes, sistros y cimbalillos.	5 But David and all of Israel played before the Lord on every kind of musical instrument made of wood, and on harps, and lyres, and timbrels, and bells, and cymbals.
6 Al llegar a la era de Nakón, extendió Uzzá la mano hacia el arca de Dios y la sujetó porque los bueyes amenazaban volcarla.	6 And after they had arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah extended his hand to the ark of God, and he touched it, because the oxen were kicking and had caused it to tip.
7 Entonces la ira de Yahveh se encendió contra Uzzá: allí mismo le hirió Dios por este atrevimiento y murió allí junto al arca de Dios.	7 And the indignation of the Lord was enraged against Uzzah. And he struck him for his temerity. And there he died, beside the ark of God.
8 David se irritó porque Yahveh había castigado a Uzzá y se llamó aquel lugar Peres Uzzá hasta el día de hoy.	8 Then David was saddened because the Lord had struck Uzzah. And the name of that place was called: the Striking of Uzzah, even to this day.
9 Aquel día David tuvo miedo de Yahveh y dijo: «¿Como voy a llevar a mi casa el arca de Yahveh?»	9 And David was very fearful of the Lord on that day, saying, “How shall the ark of the Lord be brought to me?”
10 Y no quiso llevar el arca de Yahveh junto a sí, a la Ciudad de David, sino que la hizo llevar a casa de Obededom de Gat.	10 And he was not willing to send the ark of the Lord to himself in the city of David. Instead, he sent it into the house of Obededom, the Gittite.
11 El arca de Yahveh estuvo en casa de Obededom de Gat tres meses y Yahveh bendijo a Obededom y a toda su casa.	11 And the ark of the Lord dwelt in the house of Obededom the Gittite, for three months. And the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household.
12 Se hizo saber al rey David: «Yahveh ha bendecido la casa de Obededom y todas sus cosas a causa del arca de Dios». Fue David e hizo subir el arca de Dios de casa de Obededom a la Ciudad de David, con gran alborozo.	12 And it was reported to king David that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that was his, because of the ark of God. Therefore, David went and brought the ark of God, from the house of Obededom, into the city of David with joy. And there were with David seven choirs, and calves for victims.
13 Cada seis pasos que avanzaban los portadores del arca de Yahveh, sacrificaba un buey y un carnero cebado.	13 And when those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had traveled six steps, he immolated an ox and a ram.
14 David danzaba y giraba con todas sus fuerzas ante Yahveh, ceñido de un efod de lino.	14 And David danced with all his ability before the Lord. And David was girded with the linen ephod.
15 David y toda la casa de Israel hacían subir el arca de Yahveh entre clamores y resonar de cuernos.	15 And David, and all the house of Israel, were leading the ark of the testament of the Lord, with jubilation and the sound of the trumpet.
16 Cuando el arca de Yahveh entró en la Ciudad de David, Mikal, hija de Saúl, que estaba mirando por la ventana, vio al rey David saltando y girando ante Yahveh y le despreció en su corazón.	16 And when the ark of the Lord had entered into the city of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looking out through a window, saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord. And she despised him in her heart.
17 Metieron el arca de Yahveh y la colocaron en su sitio, en medio de la tienda que David había hecho levantar para ella y David ofreció holocaustos y sacrificios de comunión en presencia de Yahveh.	17 And they led in the ark of the Lord. And they set it in its place in the middle of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it. And David offered holocausts and peace offerings in the sight of the Lord.
18 Cuando David hubo acabado de ofrecer los holocaustos y sacrificios de comunión, bendijo al pueblo en nombre de Yahveh Sebaot	18 And when he had completed offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19 y repartió a todo el pueblo, a toda la muchedumbre de Israel, hombres y mujeres, una torta de pan, un pastel de dátiles y un pan de pasas a cada uno de ellos, y se fue todo el pueblo cada uno a su casa.	19 And he distributed to the entire multitude of Israel, as much to men as to women, to each one: one loaf of bread, and one piece of roasted beef, and fine wheat flour fried with oil. And all the people went away, each one to his own house.
20 Cuando se volvía David para bendecir su casa, Mikal, hija de Saúl, le salió al encuentro y le dijo: «¡Cómo se ha cubierto hoy de gloria el rey de Israel, descubriéndose hoy ante las criadas de sus servidores como se descubriría un cualquiera!»	20 And David returned, so that he might bless his own house. And Michal, the daughter of Saul, going out to meet David, said: “How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself before the handmaids of his servants, and being unclothed, as if one of the performers were unclothed.”
21 Respondió David a Mikal: «En presencia de Yahveh danzo yo. Vive Yahveh, el que me ha preferido a tu padre y a toda tu casa para constituirme caudillo de Israel, el pueblo de Yahveh, que yo danzaré ante Yahveh,	21 And David said to Michal: “Before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father, and rather than his entire house, and who commanded me, that I should be the leader over the people of the Lord in Israel,
22 y me haré más vil todavía; seré vil a tus ojos pero seré honrado ante las criadas de que hablas.	22 I will both play and demean myself, more so than I have done. And I will be little in my own eyes. And with the handmaids, about whom you are speaking, I will appear more glorious.”
23 Y Mikal, hija de Saúl, no tuvo ya hijos hasta el día de su muerte.	23 And so, there was no child born to Michal, the daughter of Saul, even to the day of her death.
