历代志上 15
1 大卫在大卫城为自己建造宫殿，又为 神的约柜预备地方，支搭帐幕。
And Dauid made him houses in the citie of Dauid, and prepared a place for the Arke of God, and pitched for it a tent.
2 那时大卫说：“除了利未人之外，无人可抬 神的约柜；因为耶和华拣选他们抬 神的约柜，且永远事奉他。”
Then Dauid saide, None ought to carie the Arke of God, but the Leuites: for the Lord hath chosen them to beare the Arke of the Lord, and to minister vnto him for euer.
3 大卫招聚以色列众人到耶路撒冷，要将耶和华的约柜抬到他所预备的地方。
And Dauid gathered all Israel together to Ierusalem to bring vp the Arke of the Lord vnto his place, which he had ordeined for it.
4 大卫又聚集亚伦的子孙和利未人。
And Dauid assembled the sonnes of Aaron, and the Leuites.
5 哥辖子孙中有族长乌列和他的弟兄一百二十人。
Of the sonnes of Kohath, Vriel the chiefe, and his brethren sixe score.
6 米拉利子孙中有族长亚帅雅和他的弟兄二百二十人。
Of the sonnes of Merari, Asaiah the chiefe, and his brethren two hundreth and twentie.
7 革顺子孙中有族长约珥和他的弟兄一百三十人。
Of the sonnes of Gershom, Ioel the chiefe, and his brethren an hundreth and thirtie.
8 以利撒反子孙中有族长示玛雅和他的弟兄二百人。
Of the sonnes of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chiefe, and his brethren two hundreth.
9 希伯 子孙中有族长以列和他的弟兄八十人。
Of the sonnes of Hebron, Eliel the chiefe, and his brethren fourescore.
10 乌薛子孙中有族长亚米拿达和他的弟兄一百一十二人。
Of the sonnes of Vzziel, Amminadab the chiefe, and his brethren an hundreth and twelue.
11 大卫将祭司撒督和亚比亚他，并利未人乌列、亚帅雅、约珥、示玛雅、以列、亚米拿达召来，
And Dauid called Zadok and Abiathar the Priestes, and of the Leuites, Vriel, Asaiah and Ioel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab:
12 对他们说：“你们是利未人的族长，你们和你们的弟兄应当自洁，好将耶和华—以色列 神的约柜抬到我所预备的地方。
And he saide vnto them, Ye are the chiefe fathers of the Leuites: sanctifie your selues, and your brethren, and bring vp the Arke of the Lord God of Israel vnto the place that I haue prepared for it.
13 因你们先前没有抬这约柜，按定例求问耶和华—我们的 神，所以他刑罚我们。”
For because ye were not there at the first, the Lord our God made a breach among vs: for we sought him not after due order.
14 于是祭司利未人自洁，好将耶和华—以色列 神的约柜抬上来。
So the Priestes and the Leuites sanctified them selues to bring vp the Arke of the Lord God of Israel.
15 利未子孙就用杠，肩抬 神的约柜，是照耶和华借摩西所吩咐的。
And the sonnes of the Leuites bare the Arke of God vpon their shoulders with the barres, as Moses had commanded, according to the worde of the Lord.
16 大卫吩咐利未人的族长，派他们歌唱的弟兄用琴瑟和钹作乐，欢欢喜喜地大声歌颂。
And Dauid spake to the chiefe of the Leuites, that they should appoint certaine of their brethren to sing with instruments of musike, with violes and harpes, and cymbales, that they might make a sounde, and lift vp their voyce with ioye.
17 于是利未人派约珥的儿子希幔和他弟兄中比利家的儿子亚萨，并他们族弟兄米拉利子孙里古沙雅的儿子以探。
So the Leuites appointed Heman the sonne of Ioel, and of his brethren Asaph the sonne of Berechiah, and of the sonnes of Merari their brethren, Ethan the sonne of Kushaiah,
18 其次还有他们的弟兄撒迦利雅、便雅薛、示米拉末、耶歇、乌尼、以利押、比拿雅、玛西雅、玛他提雅、以利斐利户、弥克尼雅，并守门的俄别·以东和耶利。
And with them their brethren in the seconde degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Iaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Vnni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneah, and Obed Edom, and Ieiel the porters.
19 这样，派歌唱的希幔、亚萨、以探敲铜钹，大发响声；
So Heman, Asaph and Ethan were fingers to make a sounde with cymbales of brasse,
20 派撒迦利雅、雅薛、示米拉末、耶歇、乌尼、以利押、玛西雅、比拿雅鼓瑟，调用女音；
And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Vnni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah with violes on Alamoth,
21 又派玛他提雅、以利斐利户、弥克尼雅、俄别·以东、耶利、亚撒西雅领首弹琴，调用第八。
And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneah, and Obed Edom, and Ieiel, and Azaziah, with harpes vpon Sheminith Ienazzeah.
22 利未人的族长基拿尼雅是歌唱人的首领，又教训人歌唱，因为他精通此事。
But Chenaniah the chiefe of the Leuites had the charge, bearing ye burden in the charge, for he was able to instruct.
23 比利家、以利加拿是约柜前守门的。
And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters for the Arke.
24 祭司示巴尼、约沙法、拿坦业、亚玛赛、撒迦利雅、比拿亚、以利以谢在 神的约柜前吹号。俄别·以东和耶希亚也是约柜前守门的。
And Shecaniah and Iehoshaphat and Nethaneel and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the Priestes did blowe with trumpets before the Arke of God, and Obed Edom and Ieiiah were porters for the Arke.
25 于是，大卫和以色列的长老，并千夫长都去从俄别·以东的家欢欢喜喜地将耶和华的约柜抬上来。
So Dauid and the Elders of Israel and the captaines of thousandes went to bring vp the Arke of the couenant of the Lord from the house of Obed Edom with ioye.
26 神赐恩与抬耶和华约柜的利未人，他们就献上七只公牛，七只公羊。
And because that God helped the Leuites that bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, they offered seuen bullockes and seuen rammes.
27 大卫和抬约柜的利未人，并歌唱人的首领基拿尼雅，以及歌唱的人，都穿着细麻布的外袍；大卫另外穿着细麻布的以弗得。
And Dauid had on him a linen garment, as all the Leuites that bare the Arke, and the singers and Chenaniah that had the chiefe charge of the singers: and vpon Dauid was a linnen Ephod.
28 这样，以色列众人欢呼吹角、吹号、敲钹、鼓瑟、弹琴，大发响声，将耶和华的约柜抬上来。
Thus all Israel brought vp the Arke of the Lordes couenant with shouting and sounde of cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbales, making a sound with violes and with harpes.
29 耶和华的约柜进了大卫城的时候，扫罗的女儿米甲从窗户里观看，见大卫王踊跃跳舞，心里就轻视他。
And when the Arke of the couenant of the Lord came into the citie of Dauid, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at a windowe, and sawe King Dauid dauncing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.
