1 Chronicles 15
1 And Dauid made him houses in the citie of Dauid, and prepared a place for the Arke of God, and pitched for it a tent.
[迎運約櫃的準備]達味在達味城為自己建造了宮室，也為天主的約櫃預備了一塊地方，支搭了一座帳幕。
2 Then Dauid saide, None ought to carie the Arke of God, but the Leuites: for the Lord hath chosen them to beare the Arke of the Lord, and to minister vnto him for euer.
那時，達味心裏想：天主的約櫃，除肋未人外，誰也不能抬，因為上主只簡選了他們抬上主的約櫃，永遠奉事他。
3 And Dauid gathered all Israel together to Ierusalem to bring vp the Arke of the Lord vnto his place, which he had ordeined for it.
達味遂召集了全以色列到耶路撒冷來，為將上主的約櫃迎運到他所預備的地方。
4 And Dauid assembled the sonnes of Aaron, and the Leuites.
他又召集了亞郎的子孫和肋未人：
5 Of the sonnes of Kohath, Vriel the chiefe, and his brethren sixe score.
刻哈特子孫的族長烏黎耳，和他的同族一百二十人；
6 Of the sonnes of Merari, Asaiah the chiefe, and his brethren two hundreth and twentie.
默辣黎子孫的族長阿撒雅，和他的同族二百二十人，
7 Of the sonnes of Gershom, Ioel the chiefe, and his brethren an hundreth and thirtie.
革爾雄子孫的族長約厄耳，和他的同族一百三十人；
8 Of the sonnes of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chiefe, and his brethren two hundreth.
厄里匝番子孫的族長舍瑪雅和他的同族爾百人；
9 Of the sonnes of Hebron, Eliel the chiefe, and his brethren fourescore.
赫貝龍子孫的足長厄里耳，和他同族八十人；
10 Of the sonnes of Vzziel, Amminadab the chiefe, and his brethren an hundreth and twelue.
烏齊耳子孫的族長阿米納達布和他的同族一百一十二人。
11 And Dauid called Zadok and Abiathar the Priestes, and of the Leuites, Vriel, Asaiah and Ioel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab:
達味將司祭匝多克、厄貝雅塔爾，及肋未人烏黎耳、阿撒雅、約厄耳，舍瑪雅、厄里耳和阿米納達布召來，
12 And he saide vnto them, Ye are the chiefe fathers of the Leuites: sanctifie your selues, and your brethren, and bring vp the Arke of the Lord God of Israel vnto the place that I haue prepared for it.
對他們說：「你們既為肋未人的族長，你們與你們的同族兄弟就當聖潔自己，將上主以色列天主的約櫃，抬到我所準備的地方。
13 For because ye were not there at the first, the Lord our God made a breach among vs: for we sought him not after due order.
因為你們初次不在場，我們沒有按照規則迎接，所以上主我們的天主打擊了我們。」
14 So the Priestes and the Leuites sanctified them selues to bring vp the Arke of the Lord God of Israel.
司祭和肋未人便聖潔自己，好將上主以色列天主的約櫃抬上來。
15 And the sonnes of the Leuites bare the Arke of God vpon their shoulders with the barres, as Moses had commanded, according to the worde of the Lord.
肋未子孫按照梅瑟奉天主的命所吩咐的，用杠桿在肩上抬著上主的約櫃。[編定儀仗隊]
16 And Dauid spake to the chiefe of the Leuites, that they should appoint certaine of their brethren to sing with instruments of musike, with violes and harpes, and cymbales, that they might make a sounde, and lift vp their voyce with ioye.
達味又吩咐肋未人的族長，由他們的同族兄弟中指派一些歌詠者，叫他們用各種樂器、琴瑟和鐃鈸，奏出嘹亮歡樂的聲音。
17 So the Leuites appointed Heman the sonne of Ioel, and of his brethren Asaph the sonne of Berechiah, and of the sonnes of Merari their brethren, Ethan the sonne of Kushaiah,
肋未人遂指派了約厄耳的兒子赫曼和他的一個同族貝勒克雅的兒子阿撒夫，並他們同族兄弟默辣黎的子孫中，谷沙雅的兒子厄堂。
18 And with them their brethren in the seconde degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Iaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Vnni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneah, and Obed Edom, and Ieiel the porters.
與他們一起的，尚有他們的同族兄弟，組成第二班：則加黎雅、雅阿齊耳、舍米辣摩特、耶希耳、翁尼、厄里阿布、貝納雅、瑪阿色雅、瑪提提雅、厄里斐路和米刻乃雅，以及守衛敖貝得厄東和耶希耳。
19 So Heman, Asaph and Ethan were fingers to make a sounde with cymbales of brasse,
至於歌詠者，赫曼、阿撒夫和厄堂打銅鈸；
20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Vnni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah with violes on Alamoth,
則加黎雅、雅阿齊耳、舍米辣摩特、耶希耳、翁尼、厄里阿布、瑪阿色雅、貝納雅彈瑟；調用高音。
21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneah, and Obed Edom, and Ieiel, and Azaziah, with harpes vpon Sheminith Ienazzeah.
瑪提提雅、厄里斐路、米刻乃雅、敖貝得厄東、耶依耳、阿匝齊雅領先彈琴，調用低音。
22 But Chenaniah the chiefe of the Leuites had the charge, bearing ye burden in the charge, for he was able to instruct.
肋未人的族長革納尼雅管理歌詠，因他善於歌詠之事。
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters for the Arke.
貝勒基雅和厄耳卡納為守衛看守約櫃。
24 And Shecaniah and Iehoshaphat and Nethaneel and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the Priestes did blowe with trumpets before the Arke of God, and Obed Edom and Ieiiah were porters for the Arke.
司祭舍巴尼雅、約沙法特、乃塔乃耳、阿瑪賽、則加黎雅、貝納雅和厄里厄則爾，在天主的約櫃前吹號筒；敖貝得厄東和耶希雅為守衛，看守約櫃。[迎約櫃至達味城]
25 So Dauid and the Elders of Israel and the captaines of thousandes went to bring vp the Arke of the couenant of the Lord from the house of Obed Edom with ioye.
於是達味和以色列的長老並千夫長前去，由敖貝得厄東家中，興高彩烈地將上主的約櫃接上來。
26 And because that God helped the Leuites that bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, they offered seuen bullockes and seuen rammes.
由於天主扶助了抬上主約櫃的肋未人，他們遂祭獻了七頭公牛和七隻公山羊。
27 And Dauid had on him a linen garment, as all the Leuites that bare the Arke, and the singers and Chenaniah that had the chiefe charge of the singers: and vpon Dauid was a linnen Ephod.
達味、抬約櫃的肋未人、歌詠之長革納黎雅以及歌詠者，都穿著細麻長衣，達味另外又佩帶著細麻的「厄弗得。」
28 Thus all Israel brought vp the Arke of the Lordes couenant with shouting and sounde of cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbales, making a sound with violes and with harpes.
全以色列在歡呼、吹角、吹號、擊鈸、鼓瑟、彈琴、奏樂之中，將上主的約櫃接了上來。
29 And when the Arke of the couenant of the Lord came into the citie of Dauid, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at a windowe, and sawe King Dauid dauncing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.
上主的約櫃進入達味城時，撒烏耳的女兒米加耳遺窗內窺看，達味跳躍舞蹈，心中就輕視他。
