2 Samuel 6
1 And again David gathered every chosen one in Israel—thirty thousand,
達味又調集了以色列所有的精兵，共三萬人。
2 and David rises and goes, and all the people who [are] with him, from Ba‘ale-Judah, to bring up the Ark of God from there, whose name has been called—the Name of YHWH of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubim—on it.
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 cause the Ark of God to ride on a new cart, and lift it up from the house of Abinadab, which [is] in the height, and Uzzah and Ahio sons of Abinadab are leading the new cart;
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 they lift it up from the house of Abinadab, which [is] in the height, with the Ark of God, and Ahio is going 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 are playing before YHWH, with all kinds of [instruments] of fir-wood, even with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with horns, 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 they come to the threshing-floor of Nachon, and Uzzah puts forth [his hand] to the Ark of God, and lays hold on it, for they released the oxen;
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 YHWH burns against Uzzah, and God strikes him there for the error, and he dies 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 is displeasing to David, because that YHWH has broken forth a breach on Uzzah, and [one] calls that place Perez-Uzzah to 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 fears YHWH on that day and says, “How does the Ark of YHWH 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 And David has not been willing to turn aside the Ark of YHWH to himself, to the City of David, and David turns it aside to 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 YHWH inhabits the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite [for] three months, and YHWH blesses Obed-Edom and all his house.
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 is declared to King David, saying, “YHWH has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he has, because of the Ark of God”; and David goes and brings up the Ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to 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 comes to pass, when those carrying the Ark of YHWH have stepped six steps, that he sacrifices 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 is dancing with all [his] strength before YHWH, and David is 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 and David and all the house of Israel are bringing up the Ark of YHWH with shouting, and with the voice of a horn,
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 has come to pass, the Ark of YHWH has come into the City of David, and Michal daughter of Saul has looked through the window and sees King David moving and dancing before YHWH, and she despises 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 bring in the Ark of YHWH, and set it up in its place, in the midst of the tent which David has spread out for it, and David causes burnt-offerings and peace-offerings to ascend before YHWH.
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 David finishes from causing the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings to ascend, and blesses the people in the Name of YHWH 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 apportions to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, from man and to woman, to each, one cake of bread, and one eshpar, and one ashisha, and all the people go, each 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 turns back to bless his house, and Michal daughter of Saul goes out to meet David and says, “How honorable was the king of Israel today, who was uncovered today before the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain ones is openly uncovered!”
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 says to Michal, “Before YHWH, who fixed on me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me leader over the people of YHWH, and over Israel—indeed, I played before YHWH;
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 I have been more vile than this, and have been low in my eyes, and with the handmaids whom you have spoken of, I am honored with them.”
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 As for Michal daughter of Saul, she 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。
