1 Chronicles 15
1 He made also houses for himself in the city of David: and built a place for the ark of God, and pitched a tabernacle for it.
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。
2 Then David said: No one ought to carry the ark of God, but the Levites, whom the Lord hath chosen to carry it, and to minister unto himself for ever.
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。”
3 And he gathered all Israel together into Jerusalem, that the ark of God might be brought into its place, which he had prepared for it.
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。
4 And the sons of Aaron also, and the Levites.
大卫又聚集亚伦的子孙和利未人。
5 Of the children of Caath, Uriel was the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty.
哥辖子孙中有族长乌列和他的弟兄一百二十人。
6 Of the sons of Merari, Asaia the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty.
米拉利子孙中有族长亚帅雅和他的弟兄二百二十人。
7 Of the sons of Gersom, Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty.
革顺子孙中有族长约珥和他的弟兄一百三十人。
8 Of the sons of Elisaphan, Semeias the chief: and his brethren two hundred.
以利撒反子孙中有族长示玛雅和他的弟兄二百人。
9 Of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief: and his brethren eighty.
希伯 子孙中有族长以列和他的弟兄八十人。
10 Of the sons of Oziel, Aminadab the chief: and his brethren a hundred and twelve.
乌薛子孙中有族长亚米拿达和他的弟兄一百一十二人。
11 And David called Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, and the Levites, Uriel, Asaia, Joel, Semeia, Eliel, and Aminadab:
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，
12 And he said to them: You that are the heads of the Levitical families, be sanctified with your brethren, and brine the ark of the Lord the God of Israel to the place, which is prepared for it:
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。
13 Lest as the Lord at first struck us, because you were not present, the same should now also come to pass, by our doing some thing against the law.
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。”
14 So the priests and the Levites were sanctified, to carry the ark of the Lord the God of Israel.
于是祭司利未人自洁，好将耶和华—以色列 神的约柜抬上来。
15 And the sons of Levi took the ark of God as Moses had commanded, according to the word of the Lord, upon their shoulders, with the staves.
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。
16 And David spoke to the chiefs of the Levites, to appoint some of their brethren to be singers with musical instruments, to wit, on psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, that the joyful noise might resound on high.
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。
17 And they appointed Levites, Hemam the son of Joel, and of his brethren Asaph the son of Barachias: and of the sons of Merari, their brethren: Ethan the son of Casaia.
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。
18 And with them their brethren: in the second rank, Zacharias, and Ben, and Jaziel, and Semiramoth, and Jahiel, and Ani, and Eliab, and Banaias, and Maasias, and Mathathias, and Eliphalu, and Macenias, and Obededom, and Jehiel, the porters.
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。
19 Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, sounded with cymbals of brass.
这样，派歌唱的希幔、亚萨、以探敲铜钹，大发响声；
20 And Zacharias, and Oziel, and Semiramoth, and Jehiel, and Ani, and Eliab, and Maasias, and Banaias, sung mysteries upon psalteries.
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；
21 And Mathathias, and Eliphalu, and Macenias and Obededom, and Jehiel and Ozaziu, sung a song of victory for the octave upon harps.
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。
22 And Chonenias chief of the Levites, presided over the prophecy, to give out the tunes: for he was very skillful.
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。
23 And Barachias, and Elcana, were doorkeepers of the ark.
比利家、以利加拿是约柜前守门的。
24 And Sebenias, and Josaphat, and Nathanael, and Amasai, and Zacharias, and Banaias, and Eliezer the priests, sounded with trumpets, before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehias were porters of the ark.
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。
25 So David and all the ancients of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the house of Obededom with joy.
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。
26 And when God had helped the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, they offered in sacrifice seven oxen, and seven rams.
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。
27 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that carried the ark, and the singing men, and Chonenias the ruler of the prophecy among the singers: and David also had on him an ephod of linen.
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。
28 And all Israel brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord with joyful shouting, and sounding with the sound of the comet, and with trumpets, and cymbals, and psalteries, and harps.
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。
29 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come to the city of David, Michol the daughter of Saul looking out at a window, saw king David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.
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。
