2 Samuel 6

1 David again assembled the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand in all.

1 大卫又召集了三万名以色列精兵，

2 And he and all his troops set out for Baale of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name—the name of the LORD of Hosts, who is enthroned between the cherubim that are on it.

2 率领他们到犹大的巴拉去接上帝的约柜。这约柜以坐在基路伯天使之间的万军之耶和华的名字命名。

3 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, the sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart,

3 他们把上帝的约柜从坐落在山上的亚比拿达家抬出来，放在一辆新车上，由亚比拿达的两个儿子乌撒和亚希约赶车，

4 bringing with it the ark of God. And Ahio was walking in front of the ark.

4 亚希约走在约柜前面。

5 David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the LORD with all kinds of wood instruments, harps, stringed instruments, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals.

5 大卫和全体以色列人在耶和华面前用琴、瑟、鼓、钹和锣奏乐，尽情歌舞。

6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen had stumbled.

6 他们走到拿肯的麦场时，拉车的牛失蹄，乌撒就伸手去扶上帝的约柜。

7 And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and God struck him down on the spot for his irreverence, and he died there beside the ark of God.

7 耶和华上帝便向他发怒，因他的不敬而击杀了他。他死在了约柜旁边。

8 Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah. So he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.

8 大卫因耶和华击杀乌撒而烦恼，就称那地方为毗列斯·乌撒 ，沿用至今。

9 That day David feared the LORD and asked, “How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?”

9 那天，大卫惧怕耶和华，就说：“耶和华的约柜怎能运到我这里？”

10 So he was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

10 他不愿把耶和华的约柜运进大卫城，而是把它运到迦特人俄别·以东家。

11 Thus the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the LORD blessed him and all his household.

11 耶和华的约柜在俄别·以东家存放了三个月，耶和华赐福给俄别·以东和他全家。

12 Now it was reported to King David, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and had the ark of God brought up from the house of Obed-edom into the City of David with rejoicing.

12 大卫听说耶和华因为约柜而赐福给俄别·以东全家及其一切所有，就欢欢喜喜地去把上帝的约柜从俄别·以东家接进大卫城。

13 When those carrying the ark of the LORD had advanced six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.

13 这一次，抬耶和华约柜的人走了六步，大卫就献上公牛和肥犊为祭。

14 And David, wearing a linen ephod, danced with all his might before the LORD,

14 大卫穿着细麻布的以弗得，在耶和华面前尽情跳舞。

15 while he and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and the sounding of the ram’s horn.

15 大卫和全体以色列人在欢呼声和号角声中把耶和华的约柜迎进大卫城。

16 As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from a window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, and she despised him in her heart.

16 耶和华的约柜进大卫城的时候，扫罗的女儿米甲从窗户往外观看，见大卫在耶和华面前又跳又舞，心里就轻视他。

17 So they brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

17 众人把耶和华的约柜抬进去，安放在大卫所搭的帐幕里。大卫在耶和华面前献上燔祭和平安祭，

18 When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Hosts.

18 然后奉万军之耶和华的名给民众祝福，

19 Then he distributed to every man and woman among the multitude of Israel a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. And all the people departed, each to his own home.

19 还分给所有以色列人，不论男女，每人一个饼、一块肉和一个葡萄饼。众人就各自回家去了。

20 When David returned home to bless his own household, Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today!” she said. “He has uncovered himself today in the sight of the maidservants of his subjects, like a vulgar person would do.”

20 大卫回到家为自己的家人祝福，米甲出来迎接他，说：“今天以色列王好光彩呀！居然像个粗俗之人，在臣仆和婢女面前露体！”

21 But David said to Michal, “I was dancing before the LORD, who chose me over your father and all his house when He appointed me ruler over the LORD’s people Israel. I will celebrate before the LORD,

21 大卫对她说：“我是在耶和华面前跳舞。祂不用你父亲和你父亲家里的人，而是选立我来治理祂的以色列子民，所以我要在祂面前欢庆。

22 and I will humiliate and humble myself even more than this. Yet I will be honored by the maidservants of whom you have spoken.”

22 我要让自己更卑微，自视低贱，但你说的那些婢女会尊重我。”

23 And Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.

23 扫罗的女儿米甲终生都没有生育。
