| Language | 2 Samuel Chapter 6, Verse 20 |
| Cebuano | ¶ Unya si David mipauli aron sa pagpanalangin sa iyang sulod balay. Ug si Michal, ang anak nga babaye ni Saul migula sa pagsugat kang David, ug miingon: Pagkamahimayaon sa hari sa Israel nga naghukas sa iyang kaugalingon niining adlawa, sa mga mata sa mga sulogoon nga babaye sa iyang mga sulogoon, sama sa usa ka walay hinungdan nga mga kauban nga sa walay kaulaw nagahukas sa iyang kaugalingon! |
| Croatian | Kad se David vratio kuæi da blagoslovi svoju obitelj, aulova kæi Mikala iziðe u susret Davidu i reèe mu: "Kako se èasno danas ponio Izraelov kralj kad se otkrio pred oèima sluškinja slugu svojih kao što se otkriva prost èovjek!" |
| Danish | Men da David vendte hjem for at velsigne sit Hus, gik Sauls Datter Mikal ham i Møde og sagde: "Hvor ærbart Israels Konge opførte sig i Dag, da han blottede sig for sine Undersåtters Trælkvinders Øjne, som letfærdige Mennesker plejer at gøre!" |
| Dutch | Als nu David wederkwam, om zijn huis te zegenen, ging Michal, Sauls dochter, uit, David tegemoet, en zeide: Hoe is heden de koning van Israel verheerlijkt, die zich heden voor de ogen van de dienstmaagden zijner dienstknechten heeft ontbloot, gelijk een van de ijdele lieden zich onbeschaamdelijk ontbloot? |
| Finnish | Mutta kun Daavid palasi takaisin tervehtimään perhettänsä, meni Miikal, Saulin tytär, ulos Daavidia vastaan ja sanoi: "Kuinka arvokkaana onkaan Israelin kuningas nyt esiintynyt, kun on tänä päivänä paljastanut itsensä palvelijainsa palvelijattarien silmien edessä, niinkuin kevytmielinen ihminen paljastautuu!" |
| French | David s`en retourna pour bénir sa maison, et Mical, fille de Saül, sortit sa rencontre. Elle dit: Quel honneur aujourd`hui pour le roi d`Israël de s`être découvert aux yeux des servantes de ses serviteurs, comme se découvrirait un homme de rien! |
| German | Da aber David wiederkam sein Haus zu grüßen, ging Michal, die Tochter Sauls, heraus ihm entgegen und sprach: Wie herrlich ist heute der König von Israel gewesen, der sich vor den Mägden seiner Knechte entblößt hat, wie sich die losen Leute entblößen! |
| Indonesian-Bahasa Sehari-hari | Pada waktu Daud pulang ke istana untuk memberi salam kepada keluarganya, Mikhal ke luar mendapatkan Daud dan berkata, "Hari ini raja Israel sungguh-sungguh membuat dirinya terhormat! Ia telah bertelanjang seperti orang dungu yang tak tahu malu di depan budak-budak perempuan milik para pegawai istana!" |
| Indonesian-Terjemahan Lama | Hata, apabila pulanglah Daud hendak memberkati orang isi istananya, maka keluarlah Mikhal, anak Saul, bertemu dengan Daud, sambil katanya: Bagaimana raja orang Israel dipermuliakan pada hari ini! bahwa ditelanjangkannya dirinya pada hari ini di hadapan mata segala pacal hamba sahayanya, seperti seorang yang terhina menelanjangkan dirinya dengan tiada malu. |
| Italian | Ma quando Davide tornava per benedire la sua famiglia, Mikal figlia di Saul gli uscì incontro e gli disse: «Bell'onore si è fatto oggi il re di Israele a mostrarsi scoperto davanti agli occhi delle serve dei suoi servi, come si scoprirebbe un uomo da nulla!». |
| Maori | ¶ Katahi a Rawiri ka hoki ki te manaaki i tona whare. A ka puta a Mikara, tamahine a Haora ki te whakatau i a Rawiri, a ka mea, Ano te kororia o te kingi o Iharaira inaianei, i whakakite kirikau nei i a ia inakuanei ki nga kanohi o nga pononga wah ine a ana tangata, pera i tetahi o te hunga wairangi e whakakite nui ana i a ia! |
| Norwegian | Da David kom hjem igjen for å velsigne sitt hus, gikk Mikal, Sauls datter, ut imot ham og sa: Hvor høit Israels konge er blitt æret idag - han som idag har blottet sig for øinene på sine tjeneres piker, som løse folk pleier å gjøre! |
| Portuguese | Então Davi voltou para abençoar a sua casa; e Mical, filha de Saul, saiu a encontrar-se com Davi, e disse: Quão honrado foi o rei de Israel, descobrindo-se hoje aos olhos das servas de seus servos, como sem pejo se descobre um indivíduo qualquer. |
| Rumanian | David s`a kntors sq-wi binecuvinteze casa. Mical, fata lui Saul, i -a iewit knainte, wi a zis: ,,Cu cktq cinste s`a purtat azi kmpqratul lui Israel descoperindu-se knaintea slujnicelor supuwilor lui, cum s`ar descoperi un om... de nimic!`` |
| Swedish | Men när David kom tillbaka för att hälsa sitt husfolk, gick Mikal, Sauls dotter, ut emot honom och sade: "Huru härlig har icke Israels konung visat sig i dag, då han i dag har blottat sig för sina tjänares tjänstekvinnors ögon, såsom löst folk plägar göra!" |
