< 1 Chronicles 13 >

1 David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.
茲にダビデ千人の長百人の長などの諸將とあひ議り
2 David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is of the LORD our God, let’s send word everywhere to our brothers who are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have pasture lands, that they may gather themselves to us.
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
3 Also, let’s bring the ark of our God back to us again, for we did not seek it in the days of Saul.”
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
4 All the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
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
5 So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor River of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring God’s ark from Kiriath Jearim.
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
6 David went up with all Israel to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there God the LORD’s ark that sits above the cherubim, that is called by the Name.
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
7 They carried God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house; and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
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
8 David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with cymbals, and with trumpets.
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
9 When they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled.
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
10 The LORD’s anger burned against Uzza, and he struck him because he put his hand on the ark; and he died there before God.
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
11 David was displeased, because the LORD had broken out against Uzza. He called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.
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
12 David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I bring God’s ark home to me?”
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
13 So David did not move the ark with him into David’s city, but carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.
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
14 God’s ark remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months; and the LORD blessed Obed-Edom’s house and all that he had.
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
