2 Samuel 6
1 David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
達味又調集了以色列所有的精兵，共三萬人。
2 David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale Judah, to bring up from there God’s ark, which is called by the Name, even the name of Yahweh of Armies who sits above the cherubim.
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 They set God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house that was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove 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 They brought it out of Abinadab’s house which was in the hill, with God’s ark; and Ahio went before the ark.
烏匝走在天主約櫃的後面，阿希約走在前面。
5 David and all the house of Israel played before Yahweh with all kinds of instruments made of cypress wood, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with castanets, 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 When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached for God’s ark and took hold of it, for the cattle stumbled.
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 Yahweh’s anger burned against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by God’s ark.
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 David was displeased because Yahweh had broken out against Uzzah; and he called 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 David was afraid of Yahweh that day; and he said, “How could Yahweh’s ark 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 So David would not move Yahweh’s ark to be with him in David’s city; but David carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.
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 Yahweh’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and Yahweh blessed 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 King David was told, “Yahweh has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that belongs to him, because of God’s ark.” So David went and brought up God’s ark from the house of Obed-Edom into David’s city 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 When those who bore Yahweh’s ark had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
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 David danced before Yahweh with all his might; and David was clothed in 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 So David and all the house of Israel brought up Yahweh’s ark with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.
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 As Yahweh’s ark came into David’s city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out through the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before Yahweh; and she despised 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 They brought in Yahweh’s ark, and set it in its place in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh.
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 When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh of Armies.
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 He gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, dates, and raisins. So all the people departed, each to his own 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 Then David returned to bless his household. Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”
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 David said to Michal, “It was before Yahweh, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of Yahweh, over Israel. Therefore I will celebrate before Yahweh.
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 I will be yet more undignified than this, and will be worthless in my own sight. But the maids of whom you have spoken will honor me.”
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 Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
從此撒烏耳的女兒米加耳，到死再沒有生育。
