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 he maketh for himself houses in the city of David, and prepareth a place for the ark of God, and stretcheth out 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 said David, 'None [are] to carry the ark of God, except the Levites, for on them hath Jehovah fixed to carry the ark of God, and to serve Him — unto the age.'
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 David assembleth all Israel unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Jehovah unto its place that he had prepared for it.
4 大卫又聚集亚伦的子孙和利未人。
And David gathereth the sons of Aaron, and the Levites.
5 哥辖子孙中有族长乌列和他的弟兄一百二十人。
Of sons of Kohath: Uriel the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and twenty.
6 米拉利子孙中有族长亚帅雅和他的弟兄二百二十人。
Of sons of Merari: Asaiah the chief, and his brethren, two hundred and twenty.
7 革顺子孙中有族长约珥和他的弟兄一百三十人。
Of sons of Gershom: Joel the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and thirty.
8 以利撒反子孙中有族长示玛雅和他的弟兄二百人。
Of sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren, two hundred.
9 希伯 子孙中有族长以列和他的弟兄八十人。
Of sons of Hebron: Eliel the chief, and his brethren, eighty.
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 sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and twelve.
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 David calleth to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, and to the Levites, to Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, 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 saith to them, 'Ye [are] heads of the fathers of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, ye and your brethren, and ye have brought up the ark of Jehovah, God of Israel, unto [the place] I have 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。”
because at the first [it was] not ye, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, because we sought Him not according to the ordinance.'
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。
And the priests and the Levites sanctify themselves, to bring up the ark of Jehovah, 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 sons of the Levites bear the ark of God, as Moses commanded, according to the word of Jehovah, on their shoulder, with staves, above them.
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 David saith to the heads of the Levites to appoint their brethren the singers, with instruments of song, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, sounding, to lift up with the voice for joy.
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。
And the Levites appoint Heman son of Joel, and of his brethren, Asaph son of Berechiah, and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan son 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, the seconds [in rank], Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah; and Obed-Edom and Jeiel the gatekeepers;
19 这样，派歌唱的希幔、亚萨、以探敲铜钹，大发响声；
and the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, with cymbals of brass to sound,
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 Jeheil, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries besides virgins,
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 Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps, on the octave, to oversee.
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。
And Chenaniah, head of the Levites, [is] over the burden; he instructeth about the burden, for he [is] intelligent.
23 比利家、以利加拿是约柜前守门的。
And Berechiah and Elkanah [are] gatekeepers for the ark.
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 Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the priests, are blowing with trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah [are] gatekeepers for the ark.
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。
And it is David, and the elders of Israel, and the heads of the thousands, who are going to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from the house of Obed-Edom with joy;
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 it cometh to pass, in God's helping the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, that they sacrifice seven bullocks and seven rams.
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 David is wrapped in an upper robe of fine linen, and all the Levites who are bearing the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah head of the burden of the singers; and on David [is] an Ephod of linen.
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。
And all Israel are bringing up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of a cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding with psalteries and harps,
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 it cometh to pass, the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is entering in unto the city of David, and Michal daughter of Saul is looking through the window, and seeth king David dancing and playing, and despiseth him in her heart.
