撒母耳记下 6
1 大卫又聚集以色列中所有挑选的人三万。
Then David again gathered together all the elect men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 大卫起身，率领跟随他的众人前往，要从巴拉·犹大将 神的约柜运来；这约柜就是坐在二基路伯上万军之耶和华留名的约柜。
And David arose and went away, with the entire people who were with him from the men of Judah, so that they might lead back the ark of God, over which is invoked the name of the Lord of hosts, who sits upon the cherubim above it.
3 他们将 神的约柜从冈上亚比拿达的家里抬出来，放在新车上；亚比拿达的两个儿子乌撒和亚希约赶这新车。
And they placed the ark of God on a new cart. And they took it from the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeon. And Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4 他们将 神的约柜从冈上亚比拿达家里抬出来的时候，亚希约在柜前行走。
And when they had taken it from the house of Abinadab, who was in Gibeon, Ahio preceded the ark as the keeper of the ark of God.
5 大卫和以色列的全家在耶和华面前，用松木制造的各样乐器和琴、瑟、鼓、钹、锣，作乐跳舞。
But David and all of Israel played before the Lord on every kind of musical instrument made of wood, and on harps, and lyres, and timbrels, and bells, and cymbals.
6 到了拿艮的禾场，因为牛失前蹄，乌撒就伸手扶住 神的约柜。
And after they had arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah extended his hand to the ark of God, and he touched it, because the oxen were kicking and had caused it to tip.
7 神耶和华向乌撒发怒，因这错误击杀他，他就死在 神的约柜旁。
And the indignation of the Lord was enraged against Uzzah. And he struck him for his temerity. And there he died, beside the ark of God.
8 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。
Then David was saddened because the Lord had struck Uzzah. And the name of that place was called: the Striking of Uzzah, even to this day.
9 那日，大卫惧怕耶和华，说：“耶和华的约柜怎可运到我这里来？”
And David was very fearful of the Lord on that day, saying, “How shall the ark of the Lord be brought to me?”
10 于是大卫不肯将耶和华的约柜运进大卫的城，却运到迦特人俄别·以东的家中。
And he was not willing to send the ark of the Lord to himself in the city of David. Instead, he sent it into the house of Obededom, the Gittite.
11 耶和华的约柜在迦特人俄别·以东家中三个月；耶和华赐福给俄别·以东和他的全家。
And the ark of the Lord dwelt in the house of Obededom the Gittite, for three months. And the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household.
12 有人告诉大卫王说：“耶和华因为约柜赐福给俄别·以东的家和一切属他的。”大卫就去，欢欢喜喜地将 神的约柜从俄别·以东家中抬到大卫的城里。
And it was reported to king David that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that was his, because of the ark of God. Therefore, David went and brought the ark of God, from the house of Obededom, into the city of David with joy. And there were with David seven choirs, and calves for victims.
13 抬耶和华约柜的人走了六步，大卫就献牛与肥羊为祭。
And when those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had traveled six steps, he immolated an ox and a ram.
14 大卫穿着细麻布的以弗得，在耶和华面前极力跳舞。
And David danced with all his ability before the Lord. And David was girded with the linen ephod.
15 这样，大卫和以色列的全家欢呼吹角，将耶和华的约柜抬上来。
And David, and all the house of Israel, were leading the ark of the testament of the Lord, with jubilation and the sound of the trumpet.
16 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，见大卫王在耶和华面前踊跃跳舞，心里就轻视他。
And when the ark of the Lord had entered into the city of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looking out through a window, saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord. And she despised him in her heart.
17 众人将耶和华的约柜请进去，安放在所预备的地方，就是在大卫所搭的帐幕里。大卫在耶和华面前献燔祭和平安祭。
And they led in the ark of the Lord. And they set it in its place in the middle of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it. And David offered holocausts and peace offerings in the sight of the Lord.
18 大卫献完了燔祭和平安祭，就奉万军之耶和华的名给民祝福，
And when he had completed offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19 并且分给以色列众人，无论男女，每人一个饼，一块肉，一个葡萄饼；众人就各回各家去了。
And he distributed to the entire multitude of Israel, as much to men as to women, to each one: one loaf of bread, and one piece of roasted beef, and fine wheat flour fried with oil. And all the people went away, each one to his own house.
20 大卫回家要给眷属祝福；扫罗的女儿米甲出来迎接他，说：“以色列王今日在臣仆的婢女眼前露体，如同一个轻贱人无耻露体一样，有好大的荣耀啊！”
And David returned, so that he might bless his own house. And Michal, the daughter of Saul, going out to meet David, said: “How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself before the handmaids of his servants, and being unclothed, as if one of the performers were unclothed.”
21 大卫对米甲说：“这是在耶和华面前；耶和华已拣选我，废了你父和你父的全家，立我作耶和华民以色列的君，所以我必在耶和华面前跳舞。
And David said to Michal: “Before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father, and rather than his entire house, and who commanded me, that I should be the leader over the people of the Lord in Israel,
22 我也必更加卑微，自己看为轻贱。你所说的那些婢女，她们倒要尊敬我。”
I will both play and demean myself, more so than I have done. And I will be little in my own eyes. And with the handmaids, about whom you are speaking, I will appear more glorious.”
23 扫罗的女儿米甲，直到死日，没有生养儿女。
And so, there was no child born to Michal, the daughter of Saul, even to the day of her death.
