1 Chronicles 13
1 And David consults with the heads of the thousands and of the hundreds, [and] with every leader,
[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 says to all the assembly of Israel, “If it is good to you, and it has broken forth from our God YHWH—we send to our brothers, those left in all the lands of Israel, and the priests and the Levites with them in the cities of their outskirts, and they are 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 we bring around the Ark of our God to us, for we did not seek Him in 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 assembly says to do so, for the thing is 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 And David assembles all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even to the entering in of Hamath, to bring in the Ark of God from Kirjath-Jearim,
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 goes up, and all Israel, to Ba‘alah, to Kirjath-Jearim that [belongs] to Judah, to bring up from there the Ark of God, YHWH, inhabiting the cherubim, where the Name is called on.
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 place the Ark of God on a new cart from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio are leading the cart,
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 are playing before God, with all strength, and with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and 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 come to the threshing-floor of Chidon, and Uzza puts forth his hand to seize the Ark, for the oxen were released,
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 anger of YHWH is kindled against Uzza, and He strikes him, because that he has put forth his hand on the Ark, and he dies 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 it is displeasing to David, because YHWH has made a breach on Uzza, and one calls that place “Breach of Uzza” to 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 fears God on that day, saying, “How do I bring the Ark of God to me?”
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 And David has not turned aside the Ark to himself, to the City of David, and turns it aside to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
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 dwells with the household of Obed-Edom, in his house, three months, and YHWH blesses the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he has.
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。
