13：1 大卫与千夫长，百夫长，就是一切首领商议。

　　And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds， and with every leader.

　　13：2 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。

　　And David said unto all the congregation of Israel， If it seem good unto you， and that it be of the LORD our God， let us send abroad unto our brethren every where， that are left in all the land of Israel， and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs， that they may gather themselves unto us：

　　13：3 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。

　　And let us bring again the ark of our God to us： for we enquired¹ not at it in the days of Saul.

　　13：4 全会众都说可以如此行。这事在众民眼中都看为好。

　　And all the congregation said that they would do so： for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

　　13：5 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。

　　So David gathered all Israel together， from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath， to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim.

　　13：6 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。

　　And David went up， and all Israel， to Baalah， that is， to Kirjathjearim， which belonged to Judah， to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD， that dwelleth between the cherubims， whose name is called on it.

　　13：7 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。

　　And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab： and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.

　　13：8 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。

　　And David and all Israel played before God with all their might， and with singing， and with harps²， and with psalteries， and with timbrels， and with cymbals³， and with trumpets⁴.

　13：9 到了基顿（基顿撒母耳下六章六节作拿艮）的禾场。因为牛失前蹄（或作惊跳），乌撒就伸手扶住约柜。

　　And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon， Uzza put forth⁵ his hand to hold the ark； for the oxen stumbled.

　　13：10 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。

　　And the anger of the LORD was kindled⁶ against Uzza， and he smote⁷ him， because he put his hand to the ark： and there he died before God.

　　13：11 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。

　　And David was displeased⁸， because the LORD had made a breach⁹ upon Uzza： wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.

　　13：12 那日，大卫惧怕神，说，神的约柜怎可运到我这里来。

　　And David was afraid of God that day， saying， How shall I bring the ark of God home to me？

　　13：13 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。

　　So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David， but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.

　　13：14 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。

　　And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom， and all that he had.
