| ו:א וַיֹּסֶף עוֹד דָּוִד אֶת-כָּל-בָּחוּר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, שְׁלֹשִׁים אָלֶף. | 6:1 And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. |
| ב וַיָּקָם וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד, וְכָל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ, מִבַּעֲלֵי, יְהוּדָה--לְהַעֲלוֹת מִשָּׁם, אֵת אֲרוֹן הָא-לקים, אֲשֶׁר-נִקְרָא שֵׁם שֵׁם יקוק צְבָאוֹת יֹשֵׁב הַכְּרֻבִים, עָלָיו. | 2 And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him, from Baale-judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whereupon is called the Name, even the name of the LORD of hosts that sitteth upon the cherubim. |
| ג וַיַּרְכִּבוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָא-לקים, אֶל-עֲגָלָה חֲדָשָׁה, וַיִּשָּׂאֻהוּ, מִבֵּית אֲבִינָדָב אֲשֶׁר בַּגִּבְעָה; וְעֻזָּא וְאַחְיוֹ, בְּנֵי אֲבִינָדָב, נֹהֲגִים, אֶת-הָעֲגָלָה חֲדָשָׁה. | 3 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart. |
| ד וַיִּשָּׂאֻהוּ, מִבֵּית אֲבִינָדָב אֲשֶׁר בַּגִּבְעָה, עִם, אֲרוֹן הָא-לקים; וְאַחְיוֹ, הֹלֵךְ לִפְנֵי הָאָרוֹן. | 4 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in the hill, with the ark of God, and Ahio went before the ark. |
| ה וְדָוִד וְכָל-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל, מְשַׂחֲקִים לִפְנֵי יקוק, בְּכֹל, עֲצֵי בְרוֹשִׁים; וּבְכִנֹּרוֹת וּבִנְבָלִים וּבְתֻפִּים, וּבִמְנַעַנְעִים וּבְצֶלְצֱלִים. | 5 And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD with all manner of instruments made of cypress-wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with sistra, and with cymbals. |
| ו וַיָּבֹאוּ, עַד-גֹּרֶן נָכוֹן; וַיִּשְׁלַח עֻזָּה אֶל-אֲרוֹן הָא-לקים, וַיֹּאחֶז בּוֹ--כִּי שָׁמְטוּ, הַבָּקָר. | 6 And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen stumbled. |
| ז וַיִּחַר-אַף יקוק בְּעֻזָּה, וַיַּכֵּהוּ שָׁם הָא-לקים עַל-הַשַּׁל; וַיָּמָת שָׁם, עִם אֲרוֹן הָא-לקים. | 7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God. |
| ח וַיִּחַר לְדָוִד, עַל אֲשֶׁר פָּרַץ יקוק פֶּרֶץ בְּעֻזָּה; וַיִּקְרָא לַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא, פֶּרֶץ עֻזָּה, עַד, הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה. | 8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth upon Uzzah; and that place was called Perez-uzzah, unto this day. |
| ט וַיִּרָא דָוִד אֶת-יקוק, בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא; וַיֹּאמֶר, אֵיךְ יָבוֹא אֵלַי אֲרוֹן יקוק. | 9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said: 'How shall the ark of the LORD come unto me?' |
| י וְלֹא-אָבָה דָוִד, לְהָסִיר אֵלָיו אֶת-אֲרוֹן יקוק--עַל-עִיר דָּוִד; וַיַּטֵּהוּ דָוִד, בֵּית עֹבֵד-אֱדֹם הַגִּתִּי. | 10 So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. |
| יא וַיֵּשֶׁב אֲרוֹן יקוק בֵּית עֹבֵד אֱדֹם, הַגִּתִּי--שְׁלֹשָׁה חֳדָשִׁים; וַיְבָרֶךְ יקוק אֶת-עֹבֵד אֱדֹם, וְאֶת-כָּל-בֵּיתוֹ. | 11 And the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months; and the LORD blessed Obed-edom, and all his house. |
| יב וַיֻּגַּד, לַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד לֵאמֹר, בֵּרַךְ יקוק אֶת-בֵּית עֹבֵד אֱדֹם וְאֶת-כָּל-אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ, בַּעֲבוּר, אֲרוֹן הָא-לקים; וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד, וַיַּעַל אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָא-לקים מִבֵּית עֹבֵד אֱדֹם עִיר דָּוִד--בְּשִׂמְחָה. | 12 And it was told king David, saying: 'The LORD hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God.' And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with joy. |
| יג וַיְהִי, כִּי צָעֲדוּ נֹשְׂאֵי אֲרוֹן-יקוק--שִׁשָּׁה צְעָדִים: וַיִּזְבַּח שׁוֹר, וּמְרִיא. | 13 And it was so, that when they that bore the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling. |
| יד וְדָוִד מְכַרְכֵּר בְּכָל-עֹז, לִפְנֵי יקוק; וְדָוִד, חָגוּר אֵפוֹד בָּד. | 14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. |
| טו וְדָוִד וְכָל-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל, מַעֲלִים אֶת-אֲרוֹן יקוק, בִּתְרוּעָה, וּבְקוֹל שׁוֹפָר. | 15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the horn. |
| טז וְהָיָה אֲרוֹן יקוק, בָּא עִיר דָּוִד; וּמִיכַל בַּת-שָׁאוּל נִשְׁקְפָה בְּעַד הַחַלּוֹן, וַתֵּרֶא אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד מְפַזֵּז וּמְכַרְכֵּר לִפְנֵי יקוק, וַתִּבֶז לוֹ, בְּלִבָּהּ. | 16 And it was so, as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart. |
| יז וַיָּבִאוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן יקוק, וַיַּצִּגוּ אֹתוֹ בִּמְקוֹמוֹ, בְּתוֹךְ הָאֹהֶל, אֲשֶׁר נָטָה-לוֹ דָּוִד; וַיַּעַל דָּוִד עֹלוֹת לִפְנֵי יקוק, וּשְׁלָמִים. | 17 And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the LORD. |
| יח וַיְכַל דָּוִד, מֵהַעֲלוֹת הָעוֹלָה וְהַשְּׁלָמִים; וַיְבָרֶךְ אֶת-הָעָם, בְּשֵׁם יקוק צְבָאוֹת. | 18 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts. |
| יט וַיְחַלֵּק לְכָל-הָעָם לְכָל-הֲמוֹן יִשְׂרָאֵל, לְמֵאִישׁ וְעַד-אִשָּׁה, לְאִישׁ חַלַּת לֶחֶם אַחַת, וְאֶשְׁפָּר אֶחָד וַאֲשִׁישָׁה אֶחָת; וַיֵּלֶךְ כָּל-הָעָם, אִישׁ לְבֵיתוֹ. | 19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a cake made in a pan, and a sweet cake. So all the people departed every one to his house. |
| כ וַיָּשָׁב דָּוִד, לְבָרֵךְ אֶת-בֵּיתוֹ; וַתֵּצֵא מִיכַל בַּת-שָׁאוּל, לִקְרַאת דָּוִד, וַתֹּאמֶר מַה-נִּכְבַּד הַיּוֹם מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר נִגְלָה הַיּוֹם לְעֵינֵי אַמְהוֹת עֲבָדָיו, כְּהִגָּלוֹת נִגְלוֹת אַחַד הָרֵקִים. | 20 Then David returned to bless his household.And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said: 'How did the king of Israel get him honour to-day, who uncovered himself to-day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!' |
| כא וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד, אֶל-מִיכַל, לִפְנֵי יקוק אֲשֶׁר בָּחַר-בִּי מֵאָבִיךְ וּמִכָּל-בֵּיתוֹ, לְצַוּת אֹתִי נָגִיד עַל-עַם יקוק עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל; וְשִׂחַקְתִּי, לִפְנֵי יקוק. | 21 And David said unto Michal: 'Before the LORD, who chose me above thy father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of the LORD, over Israel, before the LORD will I make merry. |
| כב וּנְקַלֹּתִי עוֹד מִזֹּאת, וְהָיִיתִי שָׁפָל בְּעֵינָי; וְעִם-הָאֲמָהוֹת אֲשֶׁר אָמַרְתְּ, עִמָּם אִכָּבֵדָה. | 22 And I will be yet more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight; and with the handmaids whom thou hast spoken of, with them will I get me honour.' |
| כג וּלְמִיכַל, בַּת-שָׁאוּל, לֹא-הָיָה לָהּ, יָלֶד--עַד, יוֹם מוֹתָהּ. | 23 And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death. |
| ז:א וַיְהִי, כִּי-יָשַׁב הַמֶּלֶךְ בְּבֵיתוֹ; וַיקוק הֵנִיחַ-לוֹ מִסָּבִיב, מִכָּל-אֹיְבָיו. | 7:1 And it came to pass, when the king dwelt in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies round about, |
| ב וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ, אֶל-נָתָן הַנָּבִיא, רְאֵה נָא, אָנֹכִי יוֹשֵׁב בְּבֵית אֲרָזִים; וַאֲרוֹן, הָא-לקים, יֹשֵׁב, בְּתוֹךְ הַיְרִיעָה. | 2 that the king said unto Nathan the prophet: 'See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.' |
| ג וַיֹּאמֶר נָתָן אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ, כֹּל אֲשֶׁר בִּלְבָבְךָ לֵךְ עֲשֵׂה: כִּי יקוק, עִמָּךְ. | 3 And Nathan said to the king: 'Go, do all that is in thy heart; for the LORD is with thee.' |
| ד וַיְהִי, בַּלַּיְלָה הַהוּא; וַיְהִי, דְּבַר-יקוק, אֶל-נָתָן, לֵאמֹר. | 4 And it came to pass the same night,that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying: |
| ה לֵךְ וְאָמַרְתָּ אֶל-עַבְדִּי אֶל-דָּוִד, כֹּה אָמַר יקוק: הַאַתָּה תִּבְנֶה-לִּי בַיִת, לְשִׁבְתִּי. | 5 'Go and tell My servant David:Thus saith the LORD: Shalt thou build Me a house for Me to dwell in? |
| ו כִּי לֹא יָשַׁבְתִּי, בְּבַיִת, לְמִיּוֹם הַעֲלֹתִי אֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרַיִם, וְעַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה; וָאֶהְיֶה, מִתְהַלֵּךְ, בְּאֹהֶל, וּבְמִשְׁכָּן. | 6 for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle. |
| ז בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר-הִתְהַלַּכְתִּי, בְּכָל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, הֲדָבָר דִּבַּרְתִּי אֶת-אַחַד שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִי לִרְעוֹת אֶת-עַמִּי אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר: לָמָּה לֹא-בְנִיתֶם לִי, בֵּית אֲרָזִים. | 7 In all places wherein I have walked among all the children of Israel, spoke I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed My people Israel, saying: Why have ye not built Me a house of cedar? |
| ח וְעַתָּה כֹּה-תֹאמַר לְעַבְדִּי לְדָוִד, כֹּה אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת, אֲנִי לְקַחְתִּיךָ מִן-הַנָּוֶה, מֵאַחַר הַצֹּאן--לִהְיוֹת נָגִיד, עַל-עַמִּי עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל. | 8 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto My servant David: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be prince over My people, over Israel. |
| ט וָאֶהְיֶה עִמְּךָ, בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר הָלַכְתָּ, וָאַכְרִתָה אֶת-כָּל-אֹיְבֶיךָ, מִפָּנֶיךָ; וְעָשִׂתִי לְךָ שֵׁם גָּדוֹל, כְּשֵׁם הַגְּדֹלִים אֲשֶׁר בָּאָרֶץ. | 9 And I have been with thee whithersoever thou didst go, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee; and I will make thee a great name, like unto the name of the great ones that are in the earth. |
| י וְשַׂמְתִּי מָקוֹם לְעַמִּי לְיִשְׂרָאֵל וּנְטַעְתִּיו, וְשָׁכַן תַּחְתָּיו, וְלֹא יִרְגַּז, עוֹד; וְלֹא-יֹסִיפוּ בְנֵי-עַוְלָה לְעַנּוֹתוֹ, כַּאֲשֶׁר בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה. | 10 And I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be disquieted no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first, |
| יא וּלְמִן-הַיּוֹם, אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִי שֹׁפְטִים עַל-עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וַהֲנִיחֹתִי לְךָ, מִכָּל-אֹיְבֶיךָ; וְהִגִּיד לְךָ יקוק, כִּי-בַיִת יַעֲשֶׂה-לְּךָ יקוק. | 11 even from the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel; and I will cause thee to rest from all thine enemies. Moreover the LORD telleth thee that the LORD will make thee a house. |
| יב כִּי יִמְלְאוּ יָמֶיךָ, וְשָׁכַבְתָּ אֶת-אֲבֹתֶיךָ, וַהֲקִימֹתִי אֶת-זַרְעֲךָ אַחֲרֶיךָ, אֲשֶׁר יֵצֵא מִמֵּעֶיךָ; וַהֲכִינֹתִי, אֶת-מַמְלַכְתּוֹ. | 12 When thy days are fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, that shall proceed out of thy body, and I will establish his kingdom. |
| יג הוּא יִבְנֶה-בַּיִת, לִשְׁמִי; וְכֹנַנְתִּי אֶת-כִּסֵּא מַמְלַכְתּוֹ, עַד-עוֹלָם. | 13 He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. |
| יד אֲנִי אֶהְיֶה-לּוֹ לְאָב, וְהוּא יִהְיֶה-לִּי לְבֵן--אֲשֶׁר, בְּהַעֲותוֹ, וְהֹכַחְתִּיו בְּשֵׁבֶט אֲנָשִׁים, וּבְנִגְעֵי בְּנֵי אָדָם. | 14 I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son; if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men; |
| טו וְחַסְדִּי, לֹא-יָסוּר מִמֶּנּוּ, כַּאֲשֶׁר הֲסִרֹתִי מֵעִם שָׁאוּל, אֲשֶׁר הֲסִרֹתִי מִלְּפָנֶיךָ. | 15 but My mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. |
| טז וְנֶאְמַן בֵּיתְךָ וּמַמְלַכְתְּךָ עַד-עוֹלָם, לְפָנֶיךָ: כִּסְאֲךָ, יִהְיֶה נָכוֹן עַד-עוֹלָם. | 16 And thy house and thy kingdom shall be made sure for ever before thee; thy throne shall be established for ever.' |
| יז כְּכֹל הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה, וּכְכֹל הַחִזָּיוֹן הַזֶּה--כֵּן דִּבֶּר נָתָן, אֶל-דָּוִד. | 17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. |
