2 Samuel 6
1 And David assembled again all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
達味又調集了以色列所有的精兵，共三萬人。
2 And David arose, and went with all the people who were with him from Ba'ale-yehudah, to bring up from there the ark of God, the name of which was called by the name of the Lord of hosts, that dwelleth over the cherubim.
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 conveyed the ark of God in a new wagon, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was on the hill; and 'Uzzah and Achyo, the sons of Abinadab, guided the new wagon.
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 When they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was on the hill, [they were] near the ark of God; but Achyo went before the ark.
烏匝走在天主約櫃的後面，阿希約走在前面。
5 And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of fir-wood, and on harps, and on psalteries, and on tambourines, and with bells, and with 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 the threshing-floor of Nachon, 'Uzzah put forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook 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 anger of the Lord was kindled against 'Uzzah; and God smote him there for the error; and he died there by the ark 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 it was grievous to David, because the Lord had suddenly taken away 'Uzzah; and he called that place Perez-'uzzah [[Breach of 'Uzzah]] until 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 And David was afraid of the Lord on that day, and said, How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?
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 David would not allow to have the ark of the Lord removed unto him into the city of David; but David had it carried round into the house of 'Obed-edom the 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 ark of the Lord remained in the house of 'Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and the Lord blessed 'Obed-edom, and all his household.
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 it was told to king David, saying, The Lord hath blessed the house of 'Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God: and David then went and brought up the ark of God from the house of 'Obed-edom into the city of David with joy.
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 it happened, that when the bearers of the ark of the Lord had progressed six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.
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 David danced with all his might before the Lord; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
同時達味束著細麻的「厄弗得，」在上主面前盡力跳舞。
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the cornet.
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 it happened, as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked through the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she 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 they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt-offerings before the Lord and peace-offerings.
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 when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
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 he dealt out to all the people, to the whole multitude of Israel, to both men and women, to every person one cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine: and all the people departed every 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 And David then returned to bless his household. But Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and she said, How honored was today the king of Israel, who uncovered himself today before the eyes of the hand-maids of his servants, as only one of the low fellows can uncover himself!
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 And David said unto Michal, Before the Lord, who chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to ordain me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel: —yea, before the Lord will I yet farther play.
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 should I be yet more vile than thus, and should I be base in my own eyes: yet among the maid-servants of whom thou hast spoken, yea, among them would I still be honored.
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 And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child until the day of her death.
從此撒烏耳的女兒米加耳，到死再沒有生育。
