歷代志上 15
1 大衛在大衛城為自己建造宮殿，又為上帝的約櫃預備地方，支搭帳幕。
And he made to hym housis in the citee of Dauid, and he bildide `a place to the arke of the Lord, and araiede a tabernacle to it.
2 那時大衛說：「除了利未人之外，無人可抬上帝的約櫃；因為耶和華揀選他們抬上帝的約櫃，且永遠事奉他。」
Thanne Dauid seide, It is vnleueful, that the arke of God be borun of `ony thing no but of the dekenes, whiche the Lord chees to bere it, and `for to mynystre to hym `til in to with outen ende.
3 大衛招聚以色列眾人到耶路撒冷，要將耶和華的約櫃抬到他所預備的地方。
And he gaderide togidere al Israel in to Jerusalem, that the arke of God schulde be brouyt in to `his place, which he hadde maad redy to it;
4 大衛又聚集亞倫的子孫和利未人。
also and he gaderide togidere the sones of Aaron, and the dekenes;
5 哥轄子孫中有族長烏列和他的弟兄一百二十人。
of the sones of Caath Vriel was prince, and hise britheren two hundrid and twenti;
6 米拉利子孫中有族長亞帥雅和他的弟兄二百二十人。
of the sones of Merari Asaya was prince, and hise britheren two hundrid and thritti;
7 革順子孫中有族長約珥和他的弟兄一百三十人。
of the sones of Gerson the prince was Johel, and hise britheren an hundrid and thretti;
8 以利撒反子孫中有族長示瑪雅和他的弟兄二百人。
of the sones of Elisaphan Semei was prynce, and hise britheren two hundrid;
9 希伯崙子孫中有族長以列和他的弟兄八十人。
of the sones of Ebroun Heliel was prince, and hise britheren foure score;
10 烏薛子孫中有族長亞米拿達和他的弟兄一百一十二人。
of the sones of Oziel Amynadab was prince, and hise britheren an hundrid and twelue.
11 大衛將祭司撒督和亞比亞他，並利未人烏列、亞帥雅、約珥、示瑪雅、以列、亞米拿達召來，
And Dauid clepide Sadoch and Abiathar preestis, and the dekenes Vriel, Asaie, Johel, Semeie, Eliel, and Amynadab; and seide to hem,
12 對他們說：「你們是利未人的族長，你們和你們的弟兄應當自潔，好將耶和華－以色列上帝的約櫃抬到我所預備的地方。
Ye that ben princes of the meynees of Leuy, be halewid with youre britheren, and brynge ye the arke of the Lord God of Israel to the place, which is maad redi to it;
13 因你們先前沒有抬這約櫃，按定例求問耶和華－我們的上帝，所以他刑罰我們。」
lest, as at the bigynnyng, for ye weren not present, the Lord smoot vs, and now it be don, if we don ony vnleueful thing.
14 於是祭司利未人自潔，好將耶和華－以色列上帝的約櫃抬上來。
Therfor the preestis and dekenes weren halewid, that thei schulden bere the arke of the Lord God of Israel.
15 利未子孫就用槓，肩抬上帝的約櫃，是照耶和華藉摩西所吩咐的。
And the sones of Leuy token the arke of God with barris on her schuldris, as Moises comaundide bi the word of the Lord.
16 大衛吩咐利未人的族長，派他們歌唱的弟兄用琴瑟和鈸作樂，歡歡喜喜地大聲歌頌。
And Dauid seide to the princes of dekenes, that thei schulden ordeyne of her britheren syngeris in orguns of musikis, that is, in giternes, and harpis, and symbalis; that the sown of gladnesse schulde sowne an hiy.
17 於是利未人派約珥的兒子希幔和他弟兄中比利家的兒子亞薩，並他們族弟兄米拉利子孫裏古沙雅的兒子以探。
And thei ordeyneden dekenes, Heman, the sone of Johel, and of hise britheren, Asaph, the sone of Barachie; sotheli of the sones of Merary, britheren of hem, thei ordeyneden Ethan,
18 其次還有他們的弟兄撒迦利雅、便雅薛、示米拉末、耶歇、烏尼、以利押、比拿雅、瑪西雅、瑪他提雅、以利斐利戶、彌克尼雅，並守門的俄別‧以東和耶利。
the sone of Casaye, and the britheren of hem with hem; in the secunde ordre `thei ordeyneden Zacarie, and Ben, and Jazihel, and Semyramoth, and Jahiel, `and Am, Heliab, and Benaye, and Maasie, and Mathathie, and Eliphalu, and Mathenye, and Obededon, and Jehiel, porteris;
19 這樣，派歌唱的希幔、亞薩、以探敲銅鈸，大發響聲；
forsothe `thei ordeyneden the syngeris Eman, Asaph, and Ethan, sownynge in brasun cymbalis;
20 派撒迦利雅、雅薛、示米拉末、耶歇、烏尼、以利押、瑪西雅、比拿雅鼓瑟，調用女音；
sotheli Zacarie, and Oziel, and Semyramoth, and Jahihel, and Ham, and Eliab, and Maasie, and Banaie, sungun pryuetees in giternes; forsothe Mathathie,
21 又派瑪他提雅、以利斐利戶、彌克尼雅、俄別‧以東、耶利、亞撒西雅領首彈琴，調用第八。
and Eliphalu, and Mathenye, and Obededom, and Jehiel, and Ozazym, sungen in harpis for the eiytithe, and epynychion, `that is, victorie `be to God ouercomere;
22 利未人的族長基拿尼雅是歌唱人的首領，又教訓人歌唱，因為他精通此事。
forsothe Chinonye, the prince of dekenes, and of profecie, was souereyn to biforsynge melodie, for he was ful wijs;
23 比利家、以利加拿是約櫃前守門的。
and Barachie, and Elchana, weren porters of the arke; forsothe Sebenye,
24 祭司示巴尼、約沙法、拿坦業、亞瑪賽、撒迦利雅、比拿亞、以利以謝在上帝的約櫃前吹號。俄別‧以東和耶希亞也是約櫃前守門的。
and Josaphath, and Mathanael, and Amasaye, and Zacarie, and Banaye, and Eliezer, preestis, sowneden with trumpis bifor the arke of the Lord; and Obededom, and Achymaas, weren porteris of the arke.
25 於是，大衛和以色列的長老，並千夫長都去從俄別‧以東的家歡歡喜喜地將耶和華的約櫃抬上來。
Therfor Dauid, and the grettere men in birthe of Israel, and the tribunes, yeden to brynge the arke of boond of pees of the Lord fro the hows of Obededom with gladnesse.
26 上帝賜恩與抬耶和華約櫃的利未人，他們就獻上七隻公牛，七隻公羊。
And whanne God hadde helpid the dekenes that baren the arke of boond of pees of the Lord, seuene bolis and seuene rammes weren offrid.
27 大衛和抬約櫃的利未人，並歌唱人的首領基拿尼雅，以及歌唱的人，都穿着細麻布的外袍；大衛另外穿着細麻布的以弗得。
Forsothe Dauid was clothid with a white stole, and alle the dekenes that baren the arke, and the syngeris, and Chononye, the prince of profecie among syngeris, weren clothid in white stolis; forsothe also Dauid was clothid with a lynun surplijs.
28 這樣，以色列眾人歡呼吹角、吹號、敲鈸、鼓瑟、彈琴，大發響聲，將耶和華的約櫃抬上來。
And al Israel ledden forth the arke of boond of pees of the Lord, and sowneden in ioiful song, and in sown of clariouns, and in trumpis, and cymbalis, and giternis, and harpis.
29 耶和華的約櫃進了大衛城的時候，掃羅的女兒米甲從窗戶裏觀看，見大衛王踴躍跳舞，心裏就輕視他。
And whanne the arke of boond of pees of the Lord hadde come to the citee of Dauid, Mychol, the douytir of Saul, bihelde forth bi a wyndowe, and sche siy king Dauyd daunsynge and pleiynge; and sche dispiside hym in hir herte.
