歴代誌Ⅰ 13

1 茲にダビデ千人の長百人の長などの諸將とあひ議り

And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, with every prince.

2 而してダビデ、イスラエルの全會衆に言けるは汝らもし之を善とし我らの神ヱホバこれを允したまはば我ら徧く人を遣してイスラエルの各地に留まれる我らの兄弟ならびにその諸郊地の邑々にをる祭司とレビ人とに至らせ之をして我らの所に集まらしめん

And David said to all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good to you, and it be of Jehovah our God, let us send abroad to our brethren everywhere, that are left in all the lands of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves to us;

3 而して我らまた我らの神の契約の櫃を我らの所に移さんサウルの世には我ら之に就て詢ことをせざりしなりと

and let us bring again the ark of our God to us; for we inquired not of it in the days of Saul.

4 會衆みな然すべしと言り其は民みな此事を善と觀たればなり

And all the congregation said that they should do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

5 是においてダピデはキリアテヤリムより神の契約の櫃を舁きたらんとてエジプトのジホルよりハマテの入口までのイスラエル人をことごとく召あつめ

And David assembled all Israel from the Shihor of Egypt unto the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim.

6 而してダビデ、イスラエルの一切の人とともにバアラといふユダのキリアテヤリムに上り往きケルビムの上に坐したまふヱホバ神の名をもて稱らるる契約の櫃を其處より舁のぼらんとし

And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, of Jehovah, who sitteth between the cherubim, whose name is placed [there].

7 乃ち神の契約の櫃を新しき車に載てアビナダブの家より牽いだしウザとアヒオその車を御せり

And they carried the ark of God on a new cart out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.

8 ダビデおよびイスラエルの人はみな歌と琴と瑟と鼗鼓と鐃鈸と喇叭などを以て力をきはめ歌をうたひて神の前に踊れり

And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with lutes, and with tambours, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

9 かくてキドンの禾場に至れる時ウザ手を神の契約の櫃に伸してこれを扶へたり其は牛これを振たればなり

And when they came to the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen had stumbled.

10 ウザその手を伸て契約の櫃につけたるによりてヱホバこれに向ひて忿怒を發してこれを撃たまびければ其處にて神の前に死り

And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he had put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God.

11 ヱホバ、ウザを撃たまひしに因てダビデ怒れり其處は今日までペレヅウザ(ウザ撃)と稱へらる

And David was indignant; for Jehovah had made a breach upon Uzza; and he called that place Perez-Uzza to this day.

12 その日ダビデ神を畏れて言り我なんぞ神の契約の櫃を我所に舁ゆくべけんやと

And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God to me?

13 ダビデその契約の櫃を己のところダビデの城邑にうつさず之を轉らしてガテ人オベデエドムの家に舁いらしめたり

And David brought not the ark home unto himself into the city of David, but he carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

14 神の契約の櫃オベデエドムの家にありて其家族とともにおかかるること三月なりきヱホバ、オベデエドムの家とその一切の所有を祝福たまへり

And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months. And Jehovah blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he had.
