1 Chronicles 13
1 Then David took counsel with the tribunes, and the centurions, and all the leaders.
大卫与千夫长、百夫长，就是一切首领商议。
2 And he said to the entire assembly of Israel: “If it pleases you, and if the words that I speak come from the Lord our God, let us send to the remainder of our brothers, in all the regions of Israel, and to the priests and Levites who live in the suburbs of the cities, so that they may gather to us.
大卫对以色列全会众说：“你们若以为美，见这事是出于耶和华—我们的 神，我们就差遣人走遍以色列地，见我们未来的弟兄，又见住在有郊野之城的祭司利未人，使他们都到这里来聚集。
3 And let us bring back the ark of our God to us. For we did not seek it during the days of Saul.”
我们要把 神的约柜运到我们这里来；因为在扫罗年间，我们没有在约柜前求问 神。”
4 And the entire multitude responded that it should be done. For the word had pleased all the people.
全会众都说可以如此行；这事在众民眼中都看为好。
5 Therefore, David gathered all of Israel, from Shihor of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, so as to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
于是，大卫将以色列人从埃及的西曷河直到哈马口都招聚了来，要从基列·耶琳将 神的约柜运来。
6 And David ascended with all the men of Israel to the hill of Kiriath-jearim, which is in Judah, so that he might bring from there the ark of the Lord God, sitting upon the Cherubim, where his name is invoked.
大卫率领以色列众人上到巴拉，就是属犹大的基列·耶琳，要从那里将约柜运来。这约柜就是坐在二基路伯上耶和华 神留名的约柜。
7 And they placed the ark of God upon a new cart from the house of Abinadab. Then Uzzah and his brother drove the cart.
他们将 神的约柜从亚比拿达的家里抬出来，放在新车上。乌撒和亚希约赶车。
8 Now David and all of Israel were playing before God, with all of their ability, in songs, and with harps, and psalteries, and timbrels, and cymbals, and trumpets.
大卫和以色列众人在 神前用琴、瑟、锣、鼓、号作乐，极力跳舞歌唱。
9 And when they had arrived at the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out his hand, so that he might support the ark. For indeed, the ox being wanton had caused it to incline a little.
到了基顿的禾场；因为牛失前蹄，乌撒就伸手扶住约柜。
10 And so the Lord became angry against Uzzah. And he struck him down because he had touched the ark. And he died there before the Lord.
耶和华向他发怒，因他伸手扶住约柜击杀他，他就死在 神面前。
11 And David was greatly saddened because the Lord had divided Uzzah. And he called that place ‘the Division of Uzzah,’ even to the present day.
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。
12 And then he feared God, at that time, saying: “How will I be able to bring in the ark of God to myself?”
那日，大卫惧怕 神，说：“神的约柜怎可运到我这里来？”
13 And for this reason, he did not bring it to himself, that is, into the City of David. Instead, he turned aside to the house of Obededom, the Gittite.
于是大卫不将约柜运进大卫的城，却运到迦特人俄别·以东的家中。
14 Therefore, the ark of God dwelt in the house of Obededom for three months. And the Lord blessed his house and all that he had.
神的约柜在俄别·以东家中三个月，耶和华赐福给俄别·以东的家和他一切所有的。
