Chronicles I 13
1 And David took counsel with the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, [even with] every commander.
[迎運約櫃未成]達味與千夫長、百夫長並所有的官員商議後，
2 And David said to the whole congregation of Israel, If it [seem] good to you, and it should be prospered by the Lord our God, let us send to our brethren that are left in all the land of Israel, and let the priests the Levites who are with them in the cities of their possession [come], and let them be gathered to us.
就對以色列全會眾說：「如果你們認為好，如果這事是出於上主我們的天主，我們可派遣人，去見留在以色列各地其餘的弟兄，及寄居在城郊的司祭和肋未人，召集他們到我們這裏來，
3 And let us bring over to us the ark of our God; for men have not enquired [at] it since the days of Saul.
為將我們天主的約櫃運到我們這裏，因為在撒烏耳時，我們從沒有關心過它。」
4 And all the congregation said that they would do thus; for the saying was right in the eyes of all the people.
全會眾都說應該這樣行，因為這件事眾百姓都認為合理。
5 So David assembled all Israel, from the borders of Egypt even to the entering in of Hemath, to bring in the ark of God from the city of Jarim.
達味遂由埃及小河至哈瑪特關口，將所有的以色列人召來，意將天主的約櫃從克黎雅特耶阿陵運回來。
6 And David brought it up: and all Israel went up to the city of David, which belonged to Juda, to bring up thence the ark of the Lord God who sits between the cherubim, whose name is called [on it].
達味率領以色列民眾到了巴阿拉，即猶大的克黎雅特耶阿陵，要從那裏將天主的約櫃運上來，這約櫃名叫「坐於革魯賓上的上主。」
7 And they set the ark of God on a new waggon [brought] out of the house of Aminadab: and Oza and his brethren drove the waggon.
他們由阿彼納達布家將天主的約櫃抬出，放在一輛新車上，烏匝和阿希約駕車；
8 And David and all Israel [were] playing before the Lord with all their might, and [that] together with singers, and with harps, and with lutes, with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
達味和全以色列人在天主前，盡力舞蹈，隨著彈琴、拉弦、敲鼓、擊鈸、鳴號的節奏謳歌；
9 And they came as far as the threshing floor: and Oza put forth his hand to hold the ark, because the bullock moved it from [its place].
來近基東禾場時，因為牛將天主的約櫃傾倒，烏匝便伸手扶住；
10 And the Lord was very angry with Oza, and struck him there, because of his stretching forth his hand upon the ark: and he died there before God.
因為他伸手扶了約櫃，上主遂向烏匝發怒，將他擊殺，他便當下死在天主面前。
11 And David was dispirited, because the Lord [had] made a breach on Oza: and he called that place the Breach of Oza until this day.
達味因為上主擊殺了烏匝，很覺悲傷，遂給那地方起名叫「培勒茲烏匝，」直到今日。
12 And David feared God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God in to myself?
那天，達味對天主害了怕，心想：「我怎能將天主的約櫃運到我那裏﹖」
13 So David brought not the ark home to himself into the city of David, but he turned it aside into the house of Abeddara the Gethite.
因此，達味沒有把約櫃運往達味城他自己那裏，轉運至加特人敖貝得厄東家。
14 And the ark of God abode in the house of Abeddara three months: and God blessed Abeddara and all that he had.
天主的約櫃在敖貝得厄東家中存放了三個月；上主祝福了敖貝得厄東的家和他的一切所有。
