2. Krallar (2. Samuel) 6

¹Ve Davut İsrail’den seçilmiş bütün gençleri, yaklaşık yetmiş bin kişiyi yeniden bir araya getirdi.

²Davut ve yanındaki bütün halk, Keruvların üzerinde taht kurmuş olan orduların Rabbinin adıyla çağrılan Tanrı’nın sandığını oradan yukarı çıkarmak üzere kalkıp Yahuda önderleriyle birlikte tepeye doğru yola çıktılar.

³Rabbin sandığını yeni bir arabaya koyup tepedeki Aminadab’ın evinden çıkardılar; Aminadab’ın oğulları Oza ve kardeşleri arabayı sandıkla birlikte götürüyorlardı.

⁴Ve onun kardeşleri sandığın önünden gidiyorlardı.

⁵Davut ve bütün İsrail oğulları, Rabbin önünde var güçleriyle akort edilmiş çalgılar eşliğinde, ezgilerle, lirlerle, çenklerle, teflerle, zillerle ve flütlerle şenlik yapıyorlardı.

⁶Nahor’un harman yerine geldiklerinde, buzağı arabayı yana eğdiği için Oza elini uzatıp Tanrı’nın sandığını tutmak üzere onu kavradı.

⁷Rab Oza’ya öfkeyle gazaplandı ve Tanrı onu orada vurdu; Oza orada, Rabbin sandığının yanında, Tanrı’nın önünde öldü.

⁸Rab Oza’da bir gedik açtığı için Davut üzüldü; bu yüzden o yer bugün de "Oza Gediği" diye adlandırılır.

⁹Davut o gün Rabden korkarak, "Rabbin sandığı bana nasıl girebilir?" dedi.

¹⁰Davut, Rabbin antlaşma sandığını kendi yanına, Davut Kenti’ne yönlendirmek istemedi; onu Getli Abeddara’nın evine saptırdı.

¹¹Rabbin sandığı Getli Abeddara’nın evinde üç ay kaldı; Rab Abeddara’nın bütün evini ve ona ait her şeyi kutsadı.

¹²Kral Davut’a, "Rab, Tanrı’nın sandığı yüzünden Abeddara’nın evini ve ona ait her şeyi kutsadı" diye haber verildi; bunun üzerine Davut gitti ve Rabbin sandığını sevinç içinde Abeddara’nın evinden Davut Kenti’ne çıkardı.

¹³Sandığı taşıyanlarla birlikte yedi koro vardı ve kurban olarak bir buzağı ile kuzular sunuldu.

¹⁴Davut, Rabbin önünde akort edilmiş çalgılarla tempo tutuyordu; üzerinde de sıra dışı, görkemli bir kaftan vardı.

¹⁵Davut ve bütün İsrail halkı, haykırışlar ve boru sesleriyle Rabbin sandığını yukarı çıkardılar.

¹⁶Sandık Davut Kenti’ne girerken, Saul’un kızı Melhol pencereden baktı; Kral Davut’un Rabbin önünde dans edip tempo tuttuğunu görünce onu yüreğinden küçümsedi.

¹⁷Rabbin sandığını getirip Davut’un onun için kurduğu çadırın ortasındaki yerine koydular; Davut Rabbin önünde yakmalık sunular ve esenlik kurbanları sundu.

¹⁸Davut yakmalık sunuları ve esenlik kurbanlarını sunmayı tamamlayınca, halkı orduların Rabbinin adıyla kutsadı.

¹⁹Dan’dan Beer-Şeva’ya kadar bütün İsrail topluluğuna, erkekten kadına herkese birer somun ekmek, birer kor pidesi ve tavada pişmiş birer ince çörek dağıttı; sonra bütün halk kendi evine döndü.

²⁰Davut kendi evini kutsamak için döndüğünde, Saul’un kızı Melhol onu karşılamaya çıktı ve şöyle dedi: "Dans eden sıradan birinin edepsizce soyunduğu gibi, bugün hizmetkarlarının cariyelerinin gözü önünde soyunan İsrail kralı bugün ne kadar da onurlandı!"

²¹Davut Melhol’e, "Beni babana ve onun bütün evine tercih eden, beni halkı İsrail’in üzerine önder atayan Rabbin önünde dans edeceğim; evet, Rabbin önünde oynayıp dans edeceğim" dedi.

²²"Kendimi bundan daha da çok açıp ifşa edeceğim, senin gözünde değersiz olacağım; ama sözünü ettiğin o cariyelerin yanında onurlandırılacağım."

²³Saul’un kızı Melhol’ün öleceği güne kadar hiç çocuğu olmadı.

¹ΚΑΙ συνήγαγεν ἔτι Δαυὶδ πάντα νεανίαν ἐξ ᾿Ισραήλ, ὡς ἑβδομήκοντα χιλιάδας.

²καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυὶδ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀρχόντων ᾿Ιούδα ἐν ἀναβάσει τοῦ ἀναγαγεῖν ἐκεῖθεν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἐφ᾿ ἣν ἐπεκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Κυρίου τῶν δυνάμεων καθημένου ἐπὶ τῶν Χερουβὶν ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς.

³καὶ ἐπεβίβασαν τὴν κιβωτὸν Κυρίου ἐφ᾿ ἅμαξαν καινὴν καὶ ᾖραν αὐτὴν ἐξ οἴκου ᾿Αμιναδὰβ τοῦ ἐν τῷ βουνῷ· καὶ ᾿Οζὰ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ υἱοὶ ᾿Αμιναδὰβ ἦγον τὴν ἅμαξαν σὺν τῇ κιβωτῷ,

⁴καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπορεύοντο ἔμπροσθεν τῆς κιβωτοῦ.

⁵καὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ παίζοντες ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ἐν ὀργάνοις ἡρμοσμένοις ἐν ἰσχύϊ, καὶ ἐν ᾠδαῖς καὶ ἐν κινύραις καὶ ἐν νάβλαις καὶ ἐν τυμπάνοις καὶ ἐν κυμβάλοις καὶ ἐν αὐλοῖς.

⁶καὶ παραγίνονται ἕως ἅλω Ναχώρ, καὶ ἐξέτεινεν ᾿Οζὰ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ κατασχεῖν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐκράτησεν αὐτήν, ὅτι περιέσπασεν αὐτὴν ὁ μόσχος.

⁷καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ Κύριος τῷ ᾿Οζά, καὶ ἔπαισεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ ὁ Θεός, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκεῖ παρὰ τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Κυρίου ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ.

⁸καὶ ἠθύμησε Δαυὶδ ὑπὲρ οὗ διέκοψε Κύριος διακοπὴν ἐν τῷ ᾿Οζά· καὶ ἐκλήθη ὁ τόπος ἐκεῖνος Διακοπὴ ᾿Οζὰ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

⁹καὶ ἐφοβήθη Δαυὶδ τὸν Κύριον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ λέγων· πῶς εἰσελεύσεται πρός με ἡ κιβωτὸς Κυρίου;

¹⁰καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο Δαυὶδ τοῦ ἐκκλῖναι πρὸς αὐτὸν τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης Κυρίου εἰς τὴν πόλιν Δαυίδ, καὶ ἀπέκλινεν αὐτὴν Δαυὶδ εἰς οἶκον ᾿Αβεδδαρὰ τοῦ Γεθαίου.

¹¹καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ Κυρίου εἰς οἶκον ᾿Αβεδδαρὰ τοῦ Γεθαίου μῆνας τρεῖς· καὶ εὐλόγησε Κύριος ὅλον τὸν οἶκον ᾿Αβεδδαρὰ καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ.

¹²καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ βασιλεῖ Δαυὶδ λέγοντες· εὐλόγησε Κύριος τὸν οἶκον ᾿Αβεδδαρὰ καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ ἕνεκα τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυὶδ καὶ ἀνήγαγε τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Κυρίου ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου ᾿Αβεδδαρὰ εἰς τὴν πόλιν Δαυὶδ ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ.

¹³καὶ ἦσαν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν ἑπτὰ χοροὶ καὶ θῦμα μόσχος καὶ ἄρνες.

¹⁴καὶ Δαυὶδ ἀνεκρούετο ἐν ὀργάνοις ἡρμοσμένοις ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ὁ Δαυὶδ ἐνδεδυκὼς στολὴν ἔξαλλον.

¹⁵καὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκος ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀνήγαγον τὴν κιβωτὸν Κυρίου μετὰ κραυγῆς καὶ μετὰ φωνῆς σάλπιγγος.

¹⁶καὶ ἐγένετο τῆς κιβωτοῦ παραγινομένης ἕως πόλεως Δαυὶδ καὶ Μελχὸλ ἡ θυγάτηρ Σαοὺλ διέκυπτε διὰ τῆς θυρίδος καὶ εἶδε τὸν βασιλέα Δαυὶδ ὀρχούμενον καὶ ἀνακρουόμενον ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ ἐξουδένωσεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς.

¹⁷καὶ φέρουσι τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ ἀνέθησαν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς εἰς μέσον τῆς σκηνῆς, ἧς ἔπηξεν αὐτῇ Δαυίδ· καὶ ἀνήνεγκε Δαυὶδ ὁλοκαυτώματα ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ εἰρηνικάς.

¹⁸καὶ συνετέλεσε Δαυὶδ συναναφέρων τὰς ὁλοκαυτώσεις καὶ τὰς εἰρηνικὰς καὶ εὐλόγησε τὸν λαὸν ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου τῶν δυνάμεων.

¹⁹καὶ διεμέρισε παντὶ τῷ λαῷ εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀπὸ Δὰν ἕως Βηρσαβεὲ καὶ ἀπό ἀνδρὸς ἕως γυναικός, ἑκάστῳ κολλυρίδα ἄρτου καὶ ἐσχαρίτην καὶ λάγανον ἀπὸ τηγάνου· καὶ ἀπῆλθε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.

²⁰καὶ ἐπέστρεψε Δαυὶδ εὐλογῆσαι τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξῆλθε Μελχὸλ ἡ θυγάτηρ Σαοὺλ εἰς ἀπάντησιν Δαυὶδ καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπε· τί δεδόξασται σήμερον ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραήλ, ὃς ἀπεκαλύφθη σήμερον ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς παιδισκῶν τῶν δούλων ἑαυτοῦ, καθὼς ἀποκαλύπτεται ἀποκαλυφθεὶς εἷς τῶν ὀρχουμένων;

²¹καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Μελχόλ· ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ὀρχήσομαι· εὐλογητὸς Κύριος, ὃς ἐξελέξατό με ὑπὲρ τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ ὑπὲρ πάντα τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ τοῦ καταστῆσαί με εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ· καὶ παίξομαι καὶ ὀρχήσομαι ἐνώπιον Κυρίου

²²καὶ ἀποκαλυφθήσομαι ἔτι οὕτως καὶ ἔσομαι ἀχρεῖος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ μετὰ τῶν παιδισκῶν, ὧν εἶπάς με μὴ δοξασθῆναι.

²³καὶ τῇ Μελχὸλ θυγατρὶ Σαοὺλ οὐκ ἐγένετο παιδίον ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν αὐτήν.

¹And David again gathered all the young men of Israel, about seventy thousand.

²And David arose, and went, he and all the people that were with him, and some of the rulers of Juda, on an expedition [to a distant place], to bring back thence the ark of God, on which the name of the Lord of Host who dwells between the cherubs upon it is called.

³And they put the ark of the Lord on a new waggon, and took it out of the house of Aminadab who lived on the hill, and Oza and his brethren the sons of Aminadab drove the waggon with the ark.

⁴And his brethren went before the ark.

⁵And David and the children of Israel [were] playing before the Lord on well-tuned instruments mightily, and with songs, and with harps, and with lutes, and with drums, and with cymbals, and with pipes.

⁶And they come as far as the threshing floor of Nachor: and Oza reached forth his hand to the ark of God to keep it steady, and took hold of it; for the ox shook it out of its place.

⁷And the Lord was very angry with Oza; and God smote him there: and he died there by the ark of the Lord before God.

⁸And David was dispirited because the Lord made a breach upon Oza; and that place was called the breach of Oza until this day.

⁹And David feared the Lord in that day, saying, How shall the ark of the Lord come in to me?

¹⁰And David would not bring in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to himself into the city of David: and David turned it aside into the house of Abeddara the Gethite.

¹¹And the ark of the Lord lodged in the house of Abeddara the Gethite three months, and the Lord blessed all the house of Abeddara, and all his possessions.

¹²And it was reported to king David, saying, The Lord has blessed the house of Abeddara, and all that he has, because of the ark of the Lord. And David went, and brought up the Ark of the Lord from the house of Abeddara to the city of David with gladness.

¹³And there were with him bearing the ark seven bands, and for a sacrifice a calf and lambs.

¹⁴And David sounded with well-tuned instruments before the Lord, and David [was] clothed with a fine long robe.

¹⁵And David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of a trumpet.

¹⁶And it came to pass as the ark arrived at the city of David, that Melchol the daughter of Saul looked through the window, and saw king David dancing and playing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

¹⁷And they bring the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle which David pitched for it: and David offered whole-burnt-offerings before the Lord, [and] peace-offerings.

¹⁸And David made an end of offering the whole-burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and blessed the people in the name of the Lord of Hosts.

¹⁹And he distributed to all the people, even to all the host of Israel from Dan to Bersabee, both men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a joint of meat, and a cake from the frying-pan: and all the people departed every one to his home.

²⁰And David returned to bless his house. And Melchol the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and saluted him, and said, How was the king of Israel glorified to-day, who was to-day uncovered in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the dancers wantonly uncovers himself!

²¹And David said to Melchol, I will dance before the Lord. Blessed [be] the Lord who chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to make me head over his people, even over Israel: therefore I will play, and dance before the Lord.

²²And I will again uncover myself thus, and I will be vile in thine eyes, and with the maid-servants by whom thou saidst that I was not had in honour.

²³And Melchol the daughter of Saul had no child till the day of her death.
