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 consulteth with the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, 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 saith to all the assembly of Israel, 'If unto you it be good, and from Jehovah our God it hath broken forth — we send unto our brethren, those left in all the lands of Israel, and with them the priests and the Levites, in the cities of their suburbs, and they are gathered 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 we bring round the ark of our God unto us, for we sought Him not 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 say 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 assembleth all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even unto 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 goeth up, and all Israel, to Baalah, unto Kirjath-Jearim that [is] to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God Jehovah, inhabiting the cherubs, 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 in unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, and Uzza putteth 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 Jehovah is kindled against Uzza, and He smiteth him, because that he hath put forth his hand on the ark, and he dieth 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 Jehovah hath made a breach upon Uzza, and one calleth that place 'Breach of Uzza' unto 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 feareth God on that day, saying, 'How do I bring in unto me the ark of God?'
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 hath not turned aside the ark unto himself, unto the city of David, and turneth it aside unto 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 dwelleth with the household of Obed-Edom, in his house, three months, and Jehovah blesseth the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he hath.
