II Livro de Samuel 6

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Davi reuniu de novo todo o escol de Israel, ou seja trinta mil homens,	1 Then David again gathered together all the elect men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 e pôs-se a caminho com toda a sua gente, indo a Baalé de Judá, para trazer dali a arca de Deus, sobre a qual é invocado o nome, o nome do Senhor dos exércitos, que se assenta sobre os querubins.	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 Colocaram a arca de Deus num carro novo, e levaram-na da casa de Abinadab, situada na colina. Oza e Aquio, filhos de Abinadab conduziram o carro novo.	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 {Oza ia} junto da arca de Deus e Aquio marchava diante dela.	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 Davi e toda a casa de Israel dançavam com todo o entusiasmo diante do Senhor, e cantavam acompanhados de harpas e de cítaras, de tamborins, de sistros e de címbalos.	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 Quando chegaram à eira de Nacon, Oza estendeu a mão para a arca do Senhor e susteve-a, porque os bois tinham escorregado.	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 Então a cólera do Senhor se inflamou contra Oza; feriu-o Deus por causa de sua imprudência, e Oza morreu ali mesmo, perto da arca de Deus.	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 Davi contristou-se por ter Deus feito essa brecha, ferindo Oza, e por isso chamou àquele lugar Feres-Oza, nome que traz ainda hoje.	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 Naquele dia, Davi teve medo do Senhor, e disse: Como entrará a arca do Senhor em minha casa?	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 E não quis deixá-la entrar em sua casa, na cidade de Davi; mandou levá-la para a casa de Obed-Edom de Get.	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 Ficou a arca do Senhor três meses na casa de Obed-Edom de Get, e o Senhor abençoou-o com toda a sua família.	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 Foi anunciado ao rei que o Senhor abençoava a casa de Obed-Edom e todos os seus bens por causa da arca de Deus. Foi então Davi e fê-la transportar da casa de Obed-Edom para a cidade de Davi, no meio de grandes regozijos.	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 Quando os carregadores da arca do Senhor completavam seis passos, sacrificavam-se um boi e um bezerro cevado.	13 And when those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had traveled six steps, he immolated an ox and a ram.
14 Davi dançava com todas as suas forças diante do Senhor, cingido com um efod de linho.	14 And David danced with all his ability before the Lord. And David was girded with the linen ephod.
15 O rei e todos os israelitas conduziram a arca do Senhor, soltando gritos de alegria e tocando a trombeta.	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 Ao entrar a arca do Senhor na cidade de Davi, Micol, filha de Saul, olhando pela janela, viu o rei Davi saltando e dançando diante do Senhor, e desprezou-o em seu coração.	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 A arca foi introduzida e instalada em seu lugar, no centro do tabernáculo que Davi construíra para ela, e Davi ofereceu holocaustos e sacrifícios pacíficos.	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 Terminadas essas cerimônias, abençoou o povo em nome do Senhor dos exércitos,	18 And when he had completed offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19 e distribuiu a toda a multidão do povo de Israel, tanto aos homens como às mulheres, a cada um, um bolo, um pedaço de carne e uma torta. E retirou-se toda a multidão, indo cada um para a sua 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 Voltando Davi para abençoar a família, Micol, filha de Saul, veio-lhe ao encontro e disse-lhe: Como se distinguiu hoje o rei de Israel, dando-se em espetáculo às servas de seus servos, e descobrindo-se sem pudor, como qualquer um do povo!	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 Foi diante do Senhor que dancei, replicou Davi; diante do Senhor que me escolheu e me preferiu a teu pai e a toda a tua família, para fazer-me o chefe de seu povo de Israel. Foi diante do Senhor que dancei.	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 E me abaixarei ainda mais, e me aviltarei aos teus olhos, mas serei honrado pelas escravas de que falaste.	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 E Micol, filha de Saul, não teve mais filhos até o dia de sua morte.	23 And so, there was no child born to Michal, the daughter of Saul, even to the day of her death.
