历代志上 13
1 大卫与千夫长、百夫长，就是一切首领商议。
And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, [and] with every leader.
2 大卫对以色列全会众说：“你们若以为美，见这事是出于耶和华—我们的 神，我们就差遣人走遍以色列地，见我们未来的弟兄，又见住在有郊野之城的祭司利未人，使他们都到这里来聚集。
And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If [it seem] good unto you, and [that it be] of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, [that are] left in all the land of Israel, and with them [also] to the priests and Levites [which are] in their cities [and] suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:
3 我们要把 神的约柜运到我们这里来；因为在扫罗年间，我们没有在约柜前求问 神。”
And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul.
4 全会众都说可以如此行；这事在众民眼中都看为好。
And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
5 于是，大卫将以色列人从埃及的西曷河直到哈马口都招聚了来，要从基列·耶琳将 神的约柜运来。
So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim.
6 大卫率领以色列众人上到巴拉，就是属犹大的基列·耶琳，要从那里将约柜运来。这约柜就是坐在二基路伯上耶和华 神留名的约柜。
And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, [that is], to Kirjath-jearim, which [belonged] to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth [between] the cherubims, whose name is called [on it].
7 他们将 神的约柜从亚比拿达的家里抬出来，放在新车上。乌撒和亚希约赶车。
And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.
8 大卫和以色列众人在 神前用琴、瑟、锣、鼓、号作乐，极力跳舞歌唱。
And David and all Israel played before God with all [their] might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
9 到了基顿的禾场；因为牛失前蹄，乌撒就伸手扶住约柜。
And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
10 耶和华向他发怒，因他伸手扶住约柜击杀他，他就死在 神面前。
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.
11 大卫因耶和华击杀乌撒，心里愁烦，就称那地方为毗列斯·乌撒，直到今日。
And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to this day.
12 那日，大卫惧怕 神，说：“神的约柜怎可运到我这里来？”
And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God [home] to me?
13 于是大卫不将约柜运进大卫的城，却运到迦特人俄别·以东的家中。
So David brought not the ark [home] to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
14 神的约柜在俄别·以东家中三个月，耶和华赐福给俄别·以东的家和他一切所有的。
And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
