1 Chronicles 15
1 And he made for himself houses in [the] city of David and he prepared a place for [the] ark of God and he pitched for it a tent.
[迎運約櫃的準備]達味在達味城為自己建造了宮室，也為天主的約櫃預備了一塊地方，支搭了一座帳幕。
2 Then he said David not to carry [the] ark of God that except the Levites for them - he had chosen Yahweh to carry [the] ark of Yahweh and to serve him until perpetuity.
那時，達味心裏想：天主的約櫃，除肋未人外，誰也不能抬，因為上主只簡選了他們抬上主的約櫃，永遠奉事他。
3 And he assembled David all Israel to Jerusalem to bring up [the] ark of Yahweh to place its which he had prepared for it.
達味遂召集了全以色列到耶路撒冷來，為將上主的約櫃迎運到他所預備的地方。
4 And he gathered David [the] descendants of Aaron and the Levites.
他又召集了亞郎的子孫和肋未人：

達味將司祭匝多克、厄貝雅塔爾，及肋未人烏黎耳、阿撒雅、約厄耳，舍瑪雅、厄里耳和阿米納達布召來，
12 And he said to them you [are] [the] chiefs of the fathers of the Levites consecrate yourselves you and relatives your and you will bring up [the] ark of Yahweh [the] God of Israel to [where] I have prepared for it.
對他們說：「你們既為肋未人的族長，你們與你們的同族兄弟就當聖潔自己，將上主以色列天主的約櫃，抬到我所準備的地方。
13 For to what? at the first [time] not you he burst out Yahweh God our against us for not we sought him according to the ordinance.
因為你們初次不在場，我們沒有按照規則迎接，所以上主我們的天主打擊了我們。」
14 And they consecrated themselves the priests and the Levites to bring up [the] ark of Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
司祭和肋未人便聖潔自己，好將上主以色列天主的約櫃抬上來。
15 And they carried [the] descendants of the Levites [the] ark of God just as he had commanded Moses according to [the] word of Yahweh on shoulders their with poles on them.
肋未子孫按照梅瑟奉天主的命所吩咐的，用杠桿在肩上抬著上主的約櫃。[編定儀仗隊]
16 And he said David to [the] leaders of the Levites to appoint relatives their the singers with instruments of song lyres and harps and cymbals sounding aloud to raise a sound of joy.
達味又吩咐肋未人的族長，由他們的同族兄弟中指派一些歌詠者，叫他們用各種樂器、琴瑟和鐃鈸，奏出嘹亮歡樂的聲音。
17 And they appointed the Levites Heman [the] son of Joel and of relatives his Asaph [the] son of Berekiah. And of [the] descendants of Merari relatives their Ethan [the] son of Kushaiah.
肋未人遂指派了約厄耳的兒子赫曼和他的一個同族貝勒克雅的兒子阿撒夫，並他們同族兄弟默辣黎的子孫中，谷沙雅的兒子厄堂。
18 And with them relatives their the second in rank Zechariah Ben and Jaaziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel - and Unni Eliab and Benaiah and Maaseiah and Mattithiah and Eliphelehu and Mikneiah and Obed-Edom and Jeiel the gatekeepers.

22 And Kenaniah [the] leader of the Levites in a lifting up an instructor in the lifting up for [was] a teacher he.
肋未人的族長革納尼雅管理歌詠，因他善於歌詠之事。
23 And Berekiah and Elkanah [were] gatekeepers for the ark.
貝勒基雅和厄耳卡納為守衛看守約櫃。
24 And Shebaniah and Joshaphat and Nethanel and Amasai and Zechariah and Benaiah and Eliezer the priests ([were] blowing a trumpet *Q(k)*) on trumpets before [the] ark of God and Obed-Edom and Jehiah [were] gatekeepers for the ark.
司祭舍巴尼雅、約沙法特、乃塔乃耳、阿瑪賽、則加黎雅、貝納雅和厄里厄則爾，在天主的約櫃前吹號筒；敖貝得厄東和耶希雅為守衛，看守約櫃。[迎約櫃至達味城]
25 And it was David and [the] elders of Israel and [the] leaders of the thousands [were] the [ones who] went to bring up [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh from [the] house of Obed-Edom with joy.
於是達味和以色列的長老並千夫長前去，由敖貝得厄東家中，興高彩烈地將上主的約櫃接上來。
26 And it was because helped God the Levites [the] bearers of [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh and they sacrificed seven young bulls and seven rams.
由於天主扶助了抬上主約櫃的肋未人，他們遂祭獻了七頭公牛和七隻公山羊。

28 And all Israel [was] bringing up [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh with a shout and with [the] sound of a ram's horn and with trumpets and with cymbals sounding aloud with lyres and harps.
全以色列在歡呼、吹角、吹號、擊鈸、鼓瑟、彈琴、奏樂之中，將上主的約櫃接了上來。
29 And it was [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh [was] coming to [the] city of David and Michal [the] daughter of Saul she looked down - through the window and she saw the king David dancing and making merry and she despised him in heart her.
上主的約櫃進入達味城時，撒烏耳的女兒米加耳遺窗內窺看，達味跳躍舞蹈，心中就輕視他。
