1 Chronicles 13
1 And Dauid counselled with the captaines of thousandes and of hundreths, and with all the gouernours.
大卫与千夫长、百夫长，就是一切首领商议。
2 And Dauid said to all the Congregation of Israel, If it seeme good to you, and that it proceedeth of the Lord our God, we will sende to and from vnto our brethren, that are left in all the lande of Israel (for with them are the Priests and the Leuites in the cities and their suburbes) that they may assemble them selues vnto vs.
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 we will bring againe the Arke of our God to vs: for we sought not vnto it in the dayes 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 all the Congregation answered, Let vs doe so: for the thing seemed good in the eyes of all the people.
全会众都说可以如此行；这事在众民眼中都看为好。
5 So Dauid gathered all Israel together from Shihor in Egypt, euen vnto the entring of Hamath, to bring the Arke of God from Kiriath-iearim.
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 Dauid went vp and all Israel to Baalath, in Kiriath-iearim, that was in Iudah, to bring vp from thence the Arke of God the Lord that dwelleth betweene the Cherubims, where his Name is called on.
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 caryed the Arke of God in a newe cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Vzza and Ahio guided 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 And Dauid and all Israel played before God with all their might, both with songes and with harpes, and with violes, and with timbrels and with cymbales and with 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 And when they came vnto the thresshing floore of Chidon, Vzza put forth his hand to holde the Arke, for the oxen did shake it.
到了基顿的禾场；因为牛失前蹄，乌撒就伸手扶住约柜。
10 But the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Vzza, and he smote him, because he layed his hande vpon the Arke: so he dyed 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 Dauid was angrie, because the Lord had made a breach in Vzza, and he called the name of that place Perez-vzza vnto 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 Dauid feared God that day, saying, Howe shall I bring in to me the Arke of God?
那日，大卫惧怕 神，说：“神的约柜怎可运到我这里来？”
13 Therefore Dauid brought not the Arke to him into the citie of Dauid, but caused it to turne 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 So the Arke of God remained in the house of Obed Edom, euen in his house three moneths: and the Lord blessed the house of Obed Edom, and all that 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。
