撒母耳记下

第 6 章

1. 大卫又聚集以色列中所有挑选的人三万。
David again brought together out of Israel chosen men, thirty thousand in all.
2. 大卫起身,率领跟随他的众人前往,要从巴拉犹大将神的约柜运来。这约柜就是坐在二基路伯上万军之耶和华留名的约柜。
He and all his men set out from Baalah of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, the name of the LORD Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim that are on the ark.
3. 他们将神的约柜从冈上亚比拿达的家里抬出来,放在新车上。亚比拿达的两个儿子乌撒和亚希约赶这新车。
They set the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart
4. 他们将神的约柜从冈上亚比拿达家里抬出来的时候,亚希约在柜前行走。
with the ark of God on it, and Ahio was walking in front of it.
5. 大卫和以色列的全家在耶和华面前,用松木制造的各样乐器和琴,瑟,鼓,钹,锣,作乐跳舞。
David and the whole house of Israel were celebrating with all their might before the LORD, with songs and with harps, lyres, tambourines, sistrums and cymbals.
6. 到了拿艮的禾场,因为牛失前蹄(或作惊跳),乌撒就伸手扶住神的约柜。
When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled.
7. 神耶和华向乌撒发怒,因这错误击杀他,他就死在神的约柜旁。
The LORD'S anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down and he died there beside the ark of God.
8. 大卫因耶和华击杀(原文作闯杀)乌撒,心里愁烦,就称那地方为毗列斯乌撒,直到今日。
Then David was angry because the LORD'S wrath had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah.
9. 那日,大卫惧怕耶和华,说,耶和华的约柜怎可运到我这里来。
David was afraid of the LORD that day and said, "How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?"
10. 于是大卫不肯将耶和华的约柜运进大卫的城,却运到迦特人俄别以东的家中。
He was not willing to take the ark of the LORD to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
11. 耶和华的约柜在迦特人俄别以东家中三个月。耶和华赐福给俄别以东和他的全家。
The ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite for three months, and the LORD blessed him and his entire household.
12. 有人告诉大卫王说,耶和华因为约柜赐福给俄别以东的家和一切属他的。大卫就去,欢欢喜喜地将神的约柜从俄别以东家中抬到大卫的城里。
Now King David was told, "The LORD has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and everything he has, because of the ark of God." So David went down and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with rejoicing.
13. 抬耶和华约柜的人走了六步,大卫就献牛与肥羊为祭。
When those who were carrying the ark of the LORD had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf.
14. 大卫穿着细麻布的以弗得,在耶和华面前极力跳舞。
David, wearing a linen ephod, danced before the LORD with all his might,
15. 这样,大卫和以色列的全家欢呼吹角,将耶和华的约柜抬上来。
while he and the entire house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouts and the sound of trumpets.
16. 耶和华的约柜进了大卫城的时候,扫罗的女儿米甲从窗户里观看,见大卫王在耶和华面前踊跃跳舞,心里就轻视他。
As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, she despised him in her heart.
17. 众人将耶和华的约柜请进去,安放在所预备的地方,就是在大卫所搭的帐幕里。大卫在耶和华面前献燔祭和平安祭。
They brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and David sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before the LORD.
18. 大卫献完了燔祭和平安祭,就奉万军之耶和华的名给民祝福,
After he had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD Almighty.
19. 并且分给以色列众人,无论男女,每人一个饼,一块肉,一个葡萄饼。众人就各回各家去了。
Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women. And all the people went to their homes.
20. 大卫回家要给眷属祝福。扫罗的女儿米甲出来迎接他,说,以色列王今日在臣仆的婢女眼前露体,如同一个轻贱人无耻露体一样,有好大的荣耀阿。
When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, "How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, disrobing in the sight of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!"
21. 大卫对米甲说,这是在耶和华面前。耶和华已拣选我,废了你父和你父的全家,立我作耶和华民以色列的君,所以我必在耶和华面前跳舞。
David said to Michal, "It was before the LORD, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the LORD'S people Israel--I will celebrate before the LORD.
22. 我也必更加卑微,自己看为轻贱。你所说的那些婢女,她们倒要尊敬我。
I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor."
23. 扫罗的女儿米甲,直到死日,没有生养儿女。
And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
