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 consults with the heads of the thousands and of the 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 says to all the assembly of Israel, “If it is good to you, and it has broken forth from our God YHWH—we send to our brothers, those left in all the lands of Israel, and the priests and the Levites with them in the cities of their outskirts, and they are gathered to 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 we bring around the Ark of our God to us, for we did not seek Him 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 assembly says to do so, for the thing is 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。

And David assembles all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even to the entering in of Hamath, to bring in 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 goes up, and all Israel, to Ba‘alah, to Kirjath-Jearim that [belongs] to Judah, to bring up from there the Ark of God, YHWH, inhabiting the cherubim, where the Name is called on.

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 place the Ark of God on a new cart from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio are leading 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 are playing before God, with all strength, and with songs, 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 they come to the threshing-floor of Chidon, and Uzza puts forth his hand to seize the Ark, for the oxen were released,

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 YHWH is kindled against Uzza, and He strikes him, because that he has put forth his hand on the Ark, and he dies there 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 it is displeasing to David, because YHWH has made a breach on Uzza, and one calls that place “Breach of 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 fears God on that day, saying, “How do I bring the Ark of God 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。

And David has not turned aside the Ark to himself, to the City of David, and turns it aside to 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 dwells with the household of Obed-Edom, in his house, three months, and YHWH blesses the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he has.
