撒母耳记下 6
1 大卫又聚集以色列中所有挑选的人三万。
And David again gathered all the young men of Israel, about seventy 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, he and all the people that were with him, and some of the rulers of Juda, on an expedition [to a distant place], to bring back thence the ark of God, on which the name of the Lord of Host who dwells between the cherubs upon it is called.
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 put the ark of the Lord on a new waggon, and took it out of the house of Aminadab who lived on the hill, and Oza and his brethren the sons of Aminadab drove the waggon with the ark.
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 his brethren went before the ark.
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。
And David and the children of Israel [were] playing before the Lord on well-tuned instruments mightily, and with songs, and with harps, and with lutes, and with drums, and with cymbals, and with pipes.
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 they come as far as the threshing floor of Nachor: and Oza reached forth his hand to the ark of God to keep it steady, and took hold of it; for the ox shook it out of its place.
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 Lord was very angry with Oza; and God struck him there: and he died there by the ark of the Lord before 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。
And David was dispirited because the Lord made a breach upon Oza; and that place was called the breach of Oza until 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 feared the Lord in that day, saying, How shall the ark of the Lord come in 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 David would not bring in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to himself into the city of David: and David turned it aside into the house of Abeddara the Gethite.
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 lodged in the house of Abeddara the Gethite three months, and the Lord blessed all the house of Abeddara, and all his possessions.
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, saying, The Lord has blessed the house of Abeddara, and all that he has, because of the ark of the Lord. And David went, and brought up the Ark of the Lord from the house of Abeddara to the city of David with gladness.
13 抬耶和华约柜的人走了六步，大卫就献牛与肥羊为祭。
And there were with him bearing the ark seven bands, and for a sacrifice a calf and lambs.
14 大卫穿着细麻布的以弗得，在耶和华面前极力跳舞。
And David sounded with well-tuned instruments before the Lord, and David [was] clothed with a fine long robe.
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 brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of a 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 it came to pass as the ark arrived at the city of David, that Melchol the daughter of Saul looked through the window, and saw king David dancing and playing 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 bring the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle which David pitched for it: and David offered whole burnt offerings before the Lord, [and] peace-offerings.
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 David made an end of offering the whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings, and 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 all the people, even to all the host of Israel from Dan to Bersabee, both men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a joint of meat, and a cake from the frying-pan: and all the people departed every one to his home.
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 to bless his house. And Melchol the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and saluted him, and said, How was the king of Israel glorified today, who was today uncovered in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the dancers wantonly uncovers himself!
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 Melchol, I will dance before the Lord. Blessed [be] the Lord who chose me before your father, and before all his house, to make me head over his people, even over Israel: therefore I will play, and dance before the Lord.
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。”
And I will again uncover myself thus, and I will be vile in your eyes, and with the maidservants by whom you said that I was not had in honor.
23 扫罗的女儿米甲，直到死日，没有生养儿女。
And Melchol the daughter of Saul had no child till the day of her death.
