1 Chronicles 13
1 Then David had discussions with the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds and with every chief.
大卫与千夫长、百夫长，就是一切首领商议。
2 And David said to all the men of Israel who had come together there, If it seems good to you and if it is the purpose of the Lord our God, let us send to all the rest of our brothers, everywhere in the land of Israel, and to the priests and the Levites in their towns and the country round them, and get them to come together here to 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 And let us get back for ourselves the ark of our God: for in the days of Saul we did not go to it for directions.
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 all the people said they would do so, for it seemed right to them.
全会众都说可以如此行；这事在众民眼中都看为好。
5 So David sent for all Israel to come together, from Shihor, the river of Egypt, as far as the way into Hamath, to get 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 And David went up, with all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim in Judah, to get up from there the ark of God, over which the holy Name is named, the name of the Lord whose place is between the winged ones.
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 And they put the ark of God on a new cart, and took it out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio were the drivers of 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 Then David and all Israel made melody before God with all their strength, with songs and corded instruments of music, and with brass instruments and horns.
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 And when they came to the grain-floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to keep the ark in its place, for the oxen were slipping.
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 wrath of the Lord, burning against Uzza, sent destruction on him because he had put his hand on the ark, and death came to him 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 And David was angry because of the Lord's outburst of wrath against Uzza, and he gave that place the name Perez-uzza, 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 And so great was David's fear of God that day, that he said, How may I let the ark of God come to me?
那日，大卫惧怕 神，说：“神的约柜怎可运到我这里来？”
13 So David did not let the ark come back to him to the town of David, but had it turned away and put into 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 And the ark of God was in the house of Obed-edom for three months; and the Lord sent a blessing on the house of Obed-edom and on all he had.
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。
