¹约柜停放在俄别．以东的家（代上13:1-14）

¹And David gathered again every chosen one in Israel, thirty thousand,

²大卫和与他在一起的众人起程前去，要从巴拉．犹大把　神的约柜运来，这约柜的名称是以坐在二基路伯之上万军之耶和华的名字而起的。

²and David riseth and goeth, and all the people who [are] with him, from Baale-Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God, whose name hath been called — the name of Jehovah of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubs — upon it.

³他们把　神的约柜从山冈上亚比拿达的家里抬出来，安放在一辆新车上；亚比拿达的两个儿子，乌撒和亚希约赶着这辆新车，

³And they cause the ark of God to ride on a new cart, and lift it up from the house of Abinadab, which [is] in the height, and Uzzah and Ahio sons of Abinadab are leading the new cart;

⁴车上有　神的约柜。亚希约走在约柜的前面。

⁴and they lift it up from the house of Abinadab, which [is] in the height, with the ark of God, and Ahio is going before the ark,

⁵大卫和以色列全家在耶和华面前用各种松木制造的乐器，就是用琴、瑟、鼓、钹、锣，作乐跳舞。

⁵and David and all the house of Israel are playing before Jehovah, with all kinds of [instruments] of fir-wood, even with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cornets, and with cymbals.

⁶他们到了拿艮的打禾场的时候，因为牛几乎绊倒，乌撒就伸手扶住　神的约柜。

⁶And they come unto the threshing-floor of Nachon, and Uzzah putteth forth [his hand] unto the ark of God, and layeth hold on it, for they released the oxen;

⁷耶和华的怒气向乌撒发作；　神因这错误的举动，就当场击杀他，他就死在　神的约柜旁边。

⁷and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Uzzah, and God smiteth him there for the error, and he dieth there by the ark of God.

⁸大卫因为耶和华击杀了乌撒，就很生气，因此称那地方为毗列斯．乌撒，直到今日。

⁸And it is displeasing to David, because that Jehovah hath broken forth a breach upon Uzzah, and [one] calleth that place Perez-Uzzah, unto this day;

⁹那一天，大卫惧怕耶和华，说：“耶和华的约柜怎可以到我这里来呢？”

⁹and David feareth Jehovah on that day, and saith, `How doth the ark of Jehovah come in unto me?`

¹⁰于是大卫不肯把耶和华的约柜运进大卫的城到他那里去，却转运到迦特人俄别．以东的家里去。

¹⁰And David hath not been willing to turn aside unto himself the ark of Jehovah, to the city of David, and David turneth it aside to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite,

¹¹耶和华的约柜在迦特人俄别．以东的家停留了三个月，耶和华赐福给俄别．以东和他的全家。

¹¹and the ark of Jehovah doth inhabit the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months, and Jehovah blesseth Obed-Edom and all his house.

¹²约柜运进大卫城（代上15:25-28）有人告诉大卫王：“耶和华因为　神的约柜的缘故，赐福给俄别．以东的家和一切属他的。”大卫就去，欢欢喜喜把　神的约柜从俄别．以东的家中抬上大卫的城里去。

¹²And it is declared to king David, saying, `Jehovah hath blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he hath, because of the ark of God;` and David goeth and bringeth up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the city of David with joy.

¹³那些抬耶和华的约柜的人走了六步，大卫就献一头公牛和一只肥畜为祭。

¹³And it cometh to pass, when those bearing the ark of Jehovah have stepped six steps, that he sacrificeth an ox and a fatling.

¹⁴大卫束着细麻布的以弗得，在耶和华面前极力跳舞。

¹⁴And David is dancing with all strength before Jehovah, and David is girded with a linen ephod,

¹⁵这样，大卫和以色列全家，以欢呼和角声，把耶和华的约柜抬了上来。

¹⁵and David and all the house of Israel are bringing up the ark of Jehovah with shouting, and with the voice of a trumpet,

¹⁶大卫跳舞，米甲鄙视（代上15:29-16:3、43）耶和华的约柜运进大卫城的时候，扫罗的女儿米甲从窗户往外观看，看见大卫王在耶和华面前跳跃舞蹈，心里就鄙视他。

¹⁶and it hath come to pass, the ark of Jehovah hath come in to the city of David, and Michal daughter of Saul, hath looked through the window, and seeth king David moving and dancing before Jehovah, and despiseth him in her heart.

¹⁷他们把耶和华的约柜抬进去，安放在帐棚里它自己的地方，就是安放在大卫给它支搭的帐棚里，大卫就在耶和华面前献上燔祭和平安祭。

¹⁷And they bring in the ark of Jehovah, and set it up in its place, in the midst of the tent which David hath spread out for it, and David causeth to ascend burnt-offerings before Jehovah, and peace-offerings.

¹⁸大卫献完了燔祭和平安祭，就奉万军之耶和华的名给人民祝福。

¹⁸And David finisheth from causing to ascend the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings, and blesseth the people in the name of Jehovah of Hosts,

¹⁹又分给众人，就是分给以色列全体群众，无论男女，每人一个饼、一个枣饼、一个葡萄干饼；然后众人就各归各家去了。

¹⁹and he apportioneth to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, from man even unto woman, to each, one cake of bread, and one eshpar, and one ashisha, and all the people go, each to his house.

²⁰大卫回去要给自己的家人祝福。扫罗的女儿米甲出来迎见大卫，说：“以色列王今天多么荣耀啊！他今天竟在众臣仆的婢女眼前，赤身露体，就像一个卑贱的人露体一样。”

²⁰And David turneth back to bless his house, and Michal daughter of Saul goeth out to meet David, and saith, `How honourable to-day was the king of Israel, who was uncovered to-day before the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain ones is openly uncovered!`

²¹大卫对米甲说：“我是在耶和华面前跳舞；耶和华拣选了我，使我高过你父亲和他的全家，立我作耶和华的子民以色列的领袖，所以我要在耶和华面前跳舞作乐。

²¹And David saith unto Michal, `— Before Jehovah, who fixed on me above thy father, and above all his house, to appoint me leader over the people of Jehovah, and over Israel, — yea, I played before Jehovah;

²²我还要比今天这样更卑贱，我要自视卑微。至于你所说的那些婢女，她们倒要尊重我。”

²²and I have been more vile than this, and have been low in mine eyes, and with the handmaids whom thou hast spoken of, with them I am honoured.`

²³扫罗的女儿米甲，一直到她死的日子，都没有生育。

²³As to Michal daughter of Saul, she had no child till the day of her death.
