1 Chronicles 13
1 Then David conferred with all his leaders, the commanders of hundreds and of thousands.
大卫与千夫长、百夫长，就是一切首领商议。
2 And he said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this is of the LORD our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our brothers in all the land of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites in their cities and pasturelands, so that they may join us.
大卫对以色列全会众说：“你们若以为美，见这事是出于耶和华—我们的 神，我们就差遣人走遍以色列地，见我们未来的弟兄，又见住在有郊野之城的祭司利未人，使他们都到这里来聚集。
3 Then let us bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of Him in the days of Saul.”
我们要把 神的约柜运到我们这里来；因为在扫罗年间，我们没有在约柜前求问 神。”
4 And because this proposal seemed right to all the people, the whole assembly agreed to it.
全会众都说可以如此行；这事在众民眼中都看为好。
5 So David assembled all Israel, from the River Shihor in Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
于是，大卫将以色列人从埃及的西曷河直到哈马口都招聚了来，要从基列·耶琳将 神的约柜运来。
6 David and all Israel went up to Baalah of Judah (that is, Kiriath-jearim) to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who is enthroned between the cherubim—the ark that is called by the Name.
大卫率领以色列众人上到巴拉，就是属犹大的基列·耶琳，要从那里将约柜运来。这约柜就是坐在二基路伯上耶和华 神留名的约柜。
7 So they carried the ark of God from the house of Abinadab on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding the cart.
他们将 神的约柜从亚比拿达的家里抬出来，放在新车上。乌撒和亚希约赶车。
8 David and all the Israelites were celebrating before God with all their might, with songs and on harps and lyres, with tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
大卫和以色列众人在 神前用琴、瑟、锣、鼓、号作乐，极力跳舞歌唱。
9 When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark, because the oxen had stumbled.
到了基顿的禾场；因为牛失前蹄，乌撒就伸手扶住约柜。
10 And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and He struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.
耶和华向他发怒，因他伸手扶住约柜击杀他，他就死在 神面前。
11 Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah; so he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.
大卫因耶和华击杀乌撒，心里愁烦，就称那地方为毗列斯·乌撒，直到今日。
12 That day David feared God and asked, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?”
那日，大卫惧怕 神，说：“神的约柜怎可运到我这里来？”
13 So he did not move the ark with him to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
于是大卫不将约柜运进大卫的城，却运到迦特人俄别·以东的家中。
14 Thus the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house for three months, and the LORD blessed his household and everything he owned.
神的约柜在俄别·以东家中三个月，耶和华赐福给俄别·以东的家和他一切所有的。
