第13章

1 大衛與千夫長、百夫長,就是一切首領商議。

2 大衛對以色列全會眾說:「你們若以為美,見這事是出於耶和華─我們的神,我們就差遣人走遍以色列地,見我們未來的弟兄,又見住在城裏和郊野的[cities and suburbs]的祭司利未人,使他們都到這裏來聚集。

3 我們要把神的約櫃運到我們這裏來;因為在掃羅年間,我們沒有在約櫃前求問神。」

4 全會眾都說可以如此行;這事在眾民眼中都看為好。

5 於是,大衛將以色列眾人[all Israel]從埃及的西曷河直到進入哈馬的入口[entering in Hamath]都招聚了來,要從基列.耶琳將神的約櫃運來。

6 大衛率領以色列眾人上到巴拉,就是屬猶大的基列.耶琳,要從那裏將約櫃運來。這約櫃就是住在[dwelleth]二基路伯中間[between]耶和華神留名的約櫃。

7 他們將神的約櫃從亞比拿達的家裏抬出來,放在新車上。烏撒和亞希約趕車。

8 大衛和以色列眾人在神前用琴、瑟、鑼、鼓、號作樂,極力跳舞歌唱。

9 到了基頓的禾場;因為牛失前蹄[stumbled],烏撒就伸手扶住約櫃。

10 耶和華向他發怒,因他伸手扶住約櫃擊殺他,他就死在神面前。

11 大衛因耶和華闖殺[breach]烏撒,心裏愁煩,就稱那地方為毗列斯.烏撒,直到今日。

12 那日,大衛懼怕神,說:「神的約櫃怎可運到我這裏來?」

13 於是大衛不將約櫃運進大衛的城,卻運到迦特人俄別.以東的家中。

14 神的約櫃在俄別.以東家中三個月,耶和華賜福給俄別.以東的家和他一切所有的。

1 Chronicles

Chapter 13

1 AND David consulted with the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and with all the leaders and governors of Israel.

2 And David said to all the assemblies of Israel, If it seems good to you, let us beseech the LORD our God to repair the breaches of our brethren who reside in all towns of Israel, and settle with them priests and Levites in their cities and suburbs;

3 So that they may gather themselves and come to us, and pray before the LORD our God and beseech him because of our sins; for we did not pray before him in the days of Saul.

4 And all the assemblies said that they would do so.

5 So David gathered all Israel together, from the river of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of the LORD from Koriath-narin.

6 And David went up, and all Israel, to Koriath-narin, which belongs to the tribe of Judah, to bring up from there the ark of the LORD God who dwells upon the high cherubim, which are known by his name.

7 And they placed the ark of the LORD in a new cart, and carried it out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and his brothers drove the cart.

8 And David and all Israel played before the LORD with all their might, and with singing and with harps and with psalteries and with cymbals and with timbrels.

9 And when they came to the threshing floor of Remin. Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen ran toward the threshing floor.

10 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him there because he put forth his hand to the ark; and he died there before the ark.

11 And David was displeased because the LORD had smote Uzza; wherefore that place is called Torethadi-Uzza to this day.

12 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, saying. How can I bring the ark of God home to me?

13 So David was unwilling to bring the ark home to the city of David. And David commanded it be carried to the house of Ober-edom the Gittite.

14 And the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Ober-edom the Gittite three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Ober-edom the Gittite and all that he had.
