2 Samuel 6

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	VULGATA
1 David again assembled all the picked men of Israel, thirty thousand in number.	1 Congregavit autem rursum David omnes electos ex Israël, triginta millia.
2 Then David and all the people who were with him set out for Baala of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which bears the name of the LORD of hosts enthroned above the cherubim.	2 Surrexitque David, et abiit, et universus populus qui erat cum eo de viris Juda, ut adducerent arcam Dei, super quam invocatum est nomen Domini exercituum, sedentis in cherubim super eam.
3 The ark of God was placed on a new cart and taken away from the house of Abinadab on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, guided the cart,	3 Et imposuerunt arcam Dei super plaustrum novum : tuleruntque eam de domo Abinadab, qui erat in Gabaa : Oza autem et Ahio, filii Abinadab, minabant plaustrum novum.
4 with Ahio walking before it,	4 Cumque tulissent eam de domo Abinadab, qui erat in Gabaa, custodiens arcam Dei Ahio præcedebat arcam.
5 while David and all the Israelites made merry before the LORD with all their strength, with singing and with citharas, harps, tambourines, sistrums and cymbals.	5 David autem et omnis Israël ludebant coram Domino in omnibus lignis fabrefactis, et citharis et lyris et tympanis et sistris et cymbalis.
6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzzah reached out his hand to the ark of God and steadied it, for the oxen were making it tip.	6 Postquam autem venerunt ad aream Nachon, extendit Oza manum ad arcam Dei, et tenuit eam : quoniam calcitrabant boves, et declinaverunt eam.
7 But the LORD was angry with Uzzah; God struck him on that spot, and he died there before God.	7 Iratusque est indignatione Dominus contra Ozam, et percussit eum super temeritate : qui mortuus est ibi juxta arcam Dei.
8 David was disturbed because the LORD had vented his anger on Uzzah. (The place has been called Perez-uzzah down to the present day.)	8 Contristatus est autem David, eo quod percussisset Dominus Ozam, et vocatum est nomen loci illius : Percussio Ozæ, usque in diem hanc.
9 David feared the LORD that day and said, "How can the ark of the LORD come to me?"	9 Et extimuit David Dominum in die illa, dicens : Quomodo ingredietur ad me arca Domini ?
10 So David would not have the ark of the LORD brought to him in the City of David, but diverted it to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.	10 Et noluit divertere ad se arcam Domini in civitatem David : sed divertit eam in domum Obededom Gethæi.
11 The ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the LORD blessed Obed-edom and his whole house.	11 Et habitavit arca Domini in domo Obededom Gethæi tribus mensibus : et benedixit Dominus Obededom, et omnem domum ejus.
12 When it was reported to King David that the LORD had blessed the family of Obed-edom and all that belonged to him, David went to bring up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the City of David amid festivities.	12 Nuntiatumque est regi David quod benedixisset Dominus Obededom, et omnia ejus, propter arcam Dei. Abiit ergo David, et adduxit arcam Dei de domo Obededom in civitatem David cum gaudio : et erant cum David septem chori, et victima vituli.
13 As soon as the bearers of the ark of the LORD had advanced six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.	13 Cumque transcendissent qui portabant arcam Domini sex passus, immolabat bovem et arietem,
14 Then David, girt with a linen apron, came dancing before the LORD with abandon,	14 et David saltabat totis viribus ante Dominum : porro David erat accinctus ephod lineo.
15 as he and all the Israelites were bringing up the ark of the LORD with shouts of joy and to the sound of the horn.	15 Et David et omnis domus Israël ducebant arcam testamenti Domini in jubilo, et in clangore buccinæ.
16 As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Saul's daughter Michal looked down through the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, and she despised him in her heart.	16 Cumque intrasset arca Domini in civitatem David, Michol filia Saul, prospiciens per fenestram, vidit regem David subsilientem atque saltantem coram Domino : et despexit eum in corde suo.
17 The ark of the LORD was brought in and set in its place within the tent David had pitched for it. Then David offered holocausts and peace offerings before the LORD.	17 Et introduxerunt arcam Domini, et imposuerunt eam in loco suo in medio tabernaculi, quod tetenderat ei David : et obtulit David holocausta et pacifica coram Domino.
18 When he finished making these offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.	18 Cumque complesset offerens holocausta et pacifica, benedixit populo in nomine Domini exercituum.
19 He then distributed among all the people, to each man and each woman in the entire multitude of Israel, a loaf of bread, a cut of roast meat, and a raisin cake. With this, all the people left for their homes.	19 Et partitus est universæ multitudini Israël tam viro quam mulieri singulis collyridam panis unam, et assaturam bubulæ carnis unam, et similam frixam oleo : et abiit omnis populus, unusquisque in domum suam.
20 When David returned to bless his own family, Saul's daughter Michal came out to meet him and said, "How the king of Israel has honored himself today, exposing himself to the view of the slave girls of his followers, as a commoner might do!"	20 Reversusque est David ut benediceret domui suæ : et egressa Michol filia Saul in occursum David, ait : Quam gloriosus fuit hodie rex Israël discooperiens se ante ancillas servorum suorum, et nudatus est, quasi si nudetur unus de scurris.
21 But David replied to Michal: "I was dancing before the LORD. As the LORD lives, who preferred me to your father and his whole family when he appointed me commander of the LORD'S people, Israel, not only will I make merry before the LORD,	21 Dixitque David ad Michol : Ante Dominum, qui elegit me potius quam patrem tuum et quam omnem domum ejus, et præcepit mihi ut essem dux super populum Domini in Israël,
22 but I will demean myself even more. I will be lowly in your esteem, but in the esteem of the slave girls you spoke of I will be honored."	22 et ludam, et vilior fiam plus quam factus sum : et ero humilis in oculis meis, et cum ancillis de quibus locuta es, gloriosior apparebo.
23 And so Saul's daughter Michal was childless to the day of her death.	23 Igitur Michol filiæ Saul non est natus filius usque in diem mortis suæ.
