サムエル下6章

◆神の箱をエルサレムへ運び上げる

6:1 ダビデは更にイスラエルの精鋭三万をことごとく集めた。 6:2 ダビデは彼に従うすべての兵士と共にバアレ・ユダから出発した。それは、ケルビムの上に座す万軍の主の御名によってその名を呼ばれる神の箱をそこから運び上げるためであった。 6:3 彼らは神の箱を新しい車に載せ、丘の上のアビナダブの家から運び出した。アビナダブの子ウザとアフヨがその新しい車を御していた。 6:4 彼らは丘の上のアビナダブの家から神の箱を載せた車を運び出し、アフヨは箱の前を進んだ。 6:5 ダビデとイスラエルの家は皆、主の御前で糸杉の楽器、竪琴、琴、太鼓、鈴、シンバルを奏でた。 6:6 一行がナコンの麦打ち場にさしかかったとき、牛がよろめいたので、ウザは神の箱の方に手を伸ばし、箱を押さえた。 6:7 ウザに対して主は怒りを発し、この過失のゆえに神はその場で彼を打たれた。ウザは神の箱の傍らで死んだ。 6:8 ダビデも怒った。主がウザを打ち砕かれたためである。その場所をペレツ・ウザ(ウザを砕く)と呼んで今日に至っている。 6:9 その日、ダビデは主を恐れ、「どうして主の箱をわたしのもとに迎えることができようか」と言って、 6:10 ダビデの町、自分のもとに主の箱を移すことを望まなかった。ダビデは箱をガト人オベド・エドムの家に向かわせた。 6:11 三か月の間、主の箱はガト人オベド・エドムの家にあった。主はオベド・エドムとその家の者一同を祝福された。 6:12 神の箱のゆえに、オベド・エドムの一家とその財産のすべてを主は祝福しておられる、とダビデ王に告げる者があった。王は直ちに出かけ、喜び祝って神の箱をオベド・エドムの家からダビデの町に運び上げた。 6:13 主の箱を担ぐ者が六歩進んだとき、ダビデは肥えた雄牛をいけにえとしてささげた。 6:14 主の御前でダビデは力のかぎり踊った。彼は麻のエフォドを着けていた。 6:15 ダビデとイスラエルの家はこぞって喜びの叫びをあげ、角笛を吹き鳴らして、主の箱を運び上げた。 6:16 主の箱がダビデの町に着いたとき、サウルの娘ミカルは窓からこれを見下ろしていたが、主の御前で跳ね踊るダビデ王を見て、心の内にさげすんだ。 6:17 人々が主の箱を運び入れ、ダビデの張った天幕の中に安置すると、ダビデは主の御前に焼き尽くす献げ物と和解の献げ物をささげた。 6:18 焼き尽くす献げ物と和解の献げ物をささげ終わると、ダビデは万軍の主の御名によって民を祝福し、 6:19 兵士全員、イスラエルの群衆のすべてに、男にも女にも、輪形のパン、なつめやしの菓子、干しぶどうの菓子を一つずつ分け与えた。民は皆、自分の家に帰って行った。 6:20 ダビデが家の者に祝福を与えようと戻って来ると、サウルの娘ミカルがダビデを迎えて言った。「今日のイスラエル王は御立派でした。家臣のはしためたちの前で裸になられたのですから。空っぽの男が恥ずかしげもなく裸になるように。」 6:21 ダビデはミカルに言った。「そうだ。お前の父やその家のだれでもなく、このわたしを選んで、主の民イスラエルの指導者として立ててくださった主の御前で、その主の御前でわたしは踊ったのだ。 6:22 わたしはもっと卑しめられ、自分の目にも低い者となろう。しかし、お前の言うはしためたちからは、敬われるだろう。」 6:23 サウルの娘ミカルは、子を持つことのないまま、死の日を迎えた。

6:1 Again David gathered all the choice men of Israel, thirty thousand. 6:2 And David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, whose name is called by the Name, the Lord of Hosts, who dwells between the cherubim. 6:3 So they set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart. 6:4 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill, accompanying the ark of God; and Ahio went before the ark. 6:5 Then David and all the house of Israel played music before the Lord on all kinds of instruments of fir wood, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on sistrums, and on cymbals. 6:6 And when they came to Nachon's threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 6:7 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by the ark of God. 6:8 And David became angry because of the Lord's outbreak against Uzzah; and he called the name of the place Perez Uzzah to this day. 6:9 David was afraid of the Lord that day; and he said, "How can the ark of the Lord come to me?" 6:10 So David would not move the ark of the Lord with him into the City of David; but David took it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. 6:11 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 household. 6:12 Now it was told King David, saying, "The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God." So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with gladness. 6:13 And so it was, when those bearing the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, that he sacrificed oxen and fatted sheep. 6:14 Then David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod. 6:15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet. 6:16 Now as the ark of the Lord came into the City of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart. 6:17 So they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. 6:18 And when David had finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. 6:19 Then he distributed among all the people, among the whole multitude of Israel, both the women and the men, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed, everyone to his house. 6:20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, "How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!" 6:21 So David said to Michal, "It was before the Lord, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the Lord. 6:22 "And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor." 6:23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
