¹Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

¹約櫃停放在俄別．以東的家（代上13:1~14）大衛又聚集以色列中所有揀選出來的三萬人。

²And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubim.

²大衛和與他在一起的眾人起程前去，要從巴拉．猶大把　神的約櫃運來，這約櫃的名稱是以坐在二基路伯之上萬軍之耶和華的名字而起的。

³And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.

³他們把　神的約櫃從山岡上亞比拿達的家裡抬出來，安放在一輛新車上；亞比拿達的兩個兒子，烏撒和亞希約趕著這輛新車，

⁴And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.

⁴車上有　神的約櫃。亞希約走在約櫃的前面。

⁵And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.

⁵大衛和以色列全家在耶和華面前用各種松木製造的樂器，就是用琴、瑟、鼓、鈸、鑼，作樂跳舞。

⁶And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.

⁶他們到了拿艮的打禾場的時候，因為牛幾乎絆倒，烏撒就伸手扶住　神的約櫃。

⁷And 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.

⁷耶和華的怒氣向烏撒發作；　神因這錯誤的舉動，就當場擊殺他，他就死在　神的約櫃旁邊。

⁸And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.

⁸大衛因為耶和華擊殺了烏撒，就很生氣，因此稱那地方為毗列斯．烏撒，直到今日。

⁹And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?

⁹那一天，大衛懼怕耶和華，說：“耶和華的約櫃怎可以到我這裡來呢？”

¹⁰So 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 Obededom the Gittite.

¹⁰於是大衛不肯把耶和華的約櫃運進大衛的城到他那裡去，卻轉運到迦特人俄別．以東的家裡去。

¹¹And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.

¹¹耶和華的約櫃在迦特人俄別．以東的家停留了三個月，耶和華賜福給俄別．以東和他的全家。

¹²And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.

¹²約櫃運進大衛城（代上15:25~28）有人告訴大衛王：“耶和華因為　神的約櫃的緣故，賜福給俄別．以東的家和一切屬他的。”大衛就去，歡歡喜喜把　神的約櫃從俄別．以東的家中抬上大衛的城裡去。

¹³And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

¹³那些抬耶和華的約櫃的人走了六步，大衛就獻一頭公牛和一隻肥畜為祭。

¹⁴And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

¹⁴大衛束著細麻布的以弗得，在耶和華面前極力跳舞。

¹⁵So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

¹⁵這樣，大衛和以色列全家，以歡呼和角聲，把耶和華的約櫃抬了上來。

¹⁶And 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 dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

¹⁶大衛跳舞，米甲鄙視（代上15:29~16:3、43）耶和華的約櫃運進大衛城的時候，掃羅的女兒米甲從窗戶往外觀看，看見大衛王在耶和華面前跳躍舞蹈，心裡就鄙視他。

¹⁷And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

¹⁷他們把耶和華的約櫃抬進去，安放在帳棚裡它自己的地方，就是安放在大衛給它支搭的帳棚裡，大衛就在耶和華面前獻上燔祭和平安祭。

¹⁸And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.

¹⁸大衛獻完了燔祭和平安祭，就奉萬軍之耶和華的名給人民祝福。

¹⁹And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.

¹⁹又分給眾人，就是分給以色列全體群眾，無論男女，每人一個餅、一個棗餅、一個葡萄乾餅；然後眾人就各歸各家去了。

²⁰Then 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 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!

²⁰大衛回去要給自己的家人祝福。掃羅的女兒米甲出來迎見大衛，說：“以色列王今天多麼榮耀啊！他今天竟在眾臣僕的婢女眼前，赤身露體，就像一個卑賤的人露體一樣。”

²¹And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.

²¹大衛對米甲說：“我是在耶和華面前跳舞；耶和華揀選了我，使我高過你父親和他的全家，立我作耶和華的子民以色列的領袖，所以我要在耶和華面前跳舞作樂。

²²And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honor.

²²我還要比今天這樣更卑賤，我要自視卑微。至於你所說的那些婢女，她們倒要尊重我。”

²³Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.

²³掃羅的女兒米甲，一直到她死的日子，都沒有生育。
