2 Samuel 6
1 Againe Dauid gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, euen thirtie thousand,
達味又調集了以色列所有的精兵，共三萬人。
2 And Dauid arose and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Iudah to bring vp from thence the Arke of God, whose name is called by the Name of the Lord, of hostes, that dwelleth vpon it betweene the Cherubims.
達味和他身邊所有的人，起身到猶大巴阿拉去，要從那裏將天主的約櫃運上來。這約櫃名叫「坐於革魯賓上的萬軍的上主。」
3 And they put the Arke of God vpon a newe cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah. And Vzzah and Ahio the sonnes of Abinadab did driue the newe carte.
人遂將天主的約櫃，從丘陵上的阿彼納達布家裏抬出，放在一輛新車上，阿彼納達布的兩個兒子，烏匝和阿希約駕駛新車。
4 And when they brought the Arke of God out of the house of Abinadab, that was at Gibeah, Ahio went before the Arke,
烏匝走在天主約櫃的後面，阿希約走在前面。
5 And Dauid and al the house of Israel played before the Lord on all instruments made of firre, and on harpes, and on Psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.
達味和以色列全家在上主面前興高彩烈地舞蹈作樂，彈琴、擊弦、敲鼓、搖鈴、擊鈸。
6 And when they came to Nachons threshing floore, Vzzah put his hande to the Arke of God, and helde it: for the oxen did shake it.
當他們來到納貢的禾場時，因為牛幾乎使天主的約櫃傾倒，烏匝便伸手扶住。
7 And the Lord was verie wroth with Vzzah, and God smote him in the same place for his fault, and there he dyed by the Arke of God.
為了他一時的冒失，上主就向烏匝發怒，將他擊殺，他更死在天主的約櫃旁。
8 And Dauid was displeased, because the Lord had smitten Vzzah: and he called the name of the place Perez Vzzah vntill this day.
達味因為上主擊殺了烏匝，很覺悲傷，於是那地方名叫培勒茲烏匝，直到今日。
9 Therefore Dauid that day feared the Lord, and sayd, How shall the Arke of the Lord come to mee?
那天，達味對上主害了怕，心想：「上主的約櫃如何能進入我那裏﹖」
10 So Dauid would not bring the Arke of the Lord vnto him into the citie of Dauid, but Dauid caried it into ye house of Obed-edom a Gittite.
因此，達味不願上主的約櫃遷入達味城自己那裏，卻運往加特人敖貝得厄東家中。
11 And the Arke of the Lord continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite, three moneths, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom, and all his houshold.
上主的約櫃在加特人敖貝得厄東家中，存放了三個月，上主祝福了敖貝得厄東和他的全家。
12 And one told King Dauid, saying, The Lord hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that hee hath, because of the Arke of God: therefore Dauid went and brought the Arke of God from the house of Obed-edom, into the citie of Dauid with gladnesse.
有人告訴達味，上主為了天主的約櫃祝福了敖貝得厄東的家，和他所有的一切。達味就去將天主的約櫃，由貝得厄東家興高彩烈地抬上達味城來。
13 And when they that bare the Arke of the Lord had gone sixe paces, he offred an oxe, and a fatte beast.
每當抬上主約櫃的人走六步，他就祭獻一頭牛和一隻肥羊。
14 And Dauid danced before the Lord with al his might, and was girded with a linnen Ephod.
同時達味束著細麻的「厄弗得，」在上主面前盡力跳舞。
15 So Dauid and all the house of Israel, brought the Arke of the Lord with shouting, and sound of trumpet.
這樣，達味與以色列全家大聲歡呼，吹起號筒，將上主的約櫃迎上來。
16 And as the Arke of the Lord came into the citie of Dauid, Michal Sauls daughter looked through a windowe, and sawe King Dauid leape, and dance before the Lord, and shee despised him in her heart.
當上主的約櫃進入達味城時，撒烏耳的女兒米加耳，由窗內窺看，見達味王在上主面前跳躍舞蹈，心中就輕視他。
17 And when they had brought in the Arke of the Lord, they set it in his place, in the mids of the tabernacle that Dauid had pitched for it: then Dauid offred burnt offrings, and peace offrings before the Lord.
他們將上主的約櫃抬來，安置在預備好的地方，停在達味為約櫃建立的帳幕中央；達味給上主奉獻了全燔祭與和平祭。
18 And assoone as Dauid had made an ende of offring burnt offrings and peace offrings, hee blessed the people in the Name of the Lord of hostes,
達味獻完了全燔祭與和平祭後，以萬軍上主的名祝福了百姓。
19 And gaue among all the people, euen among the whole multitude of Israel, aswel to the women as men, to euerie one a cake of bread, and a piece of flesh, and a bottell of wine: so all the people departed euerie one to his house.
以後，分給所有百姓，全以色列民眾，不論男女，每人一塊餅，一塊肉，一塊葡萄乾餅。然後百姓各自回了本家。
20 The Dauid returned to blesse his house, and Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meete Dauid, and sayde, O howe glorious was the King of Israel this day, which was vncouered to day in the eyes of the maidens of his seruantes, as a foole vncouereth himselfe.
達味回來祝福本家時，撒烏耳的女兒米加耳出來迎接達味說：「以色列的君王今天多麼榮耀! 他今天在臣僕的婢女前赤身露體，活像一個赤身露體的小丑。」
21 Then Dauid sayd vnto Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose me rather then thy father, and all his house, and commanded me to bee ruler ouer the people of the Lord, euen ouer Israel: and therefore will I play before the Lord,
達味回答米加耳說：「在廢棄你父他全家，而選拔了我的上主面前，在派我為上主百姓以色列首領的上主面前，我甘願舞蹈，
22 And will yet be more vile then thus, and will be low in mine owne sight, and of the verie same maidseruants, which thou hast spoken of, shall I be had in honour.
甘願加倍卑賤我自己! 我在你眼中被視為卑賤，但在你所說的婢女們前，我必受到尊敬。」
23 Therfore Michal the daughter of Saul had no childe vnto the day of her death.
從此撒烏耳的女兒米加耳，到死再沒有生育。
