旧约--历代记上(1Chronicles)--第15章

　15：1 大卫在大卫城为自己建造宫殿，又为神的约柜预备地方，支搭帐幕。

And David made him houses in the city of David， and prepared a place for the ark of God， and pitched for it a tent.

15：2 那时大卫说，除了利未人之外，无人可抬神的约柜。因为耶和华拣选他们抬神的约柜，且永远事奉他。

Then David said， None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites： for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God， and to minister unto him for ever.

15：3 大卫招聚以色列众人到耶路撒冷，要将耶和华的约柜抬到他所预备的地方。

And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem， to bring up the ark of the LORD unto his place， which he had prepared for it.

15：4 大卫又聚集亚伦的子孙和利未人。

And David assembled the children of Aaron， and the Levites：

15：5 哥辖子孙中有族长乌列和他的弟兄一百二十人。

Of the sons of Kohath； Uriel the chief， and his brethren an hundred and twenty：

15：6 米拉利子孙中有族长亚帅雅和他的弟兄二百二十人。

Of the sons of Merari； Asaiah the chief， and his brethren two hundred and twenty：

15：7 革顺子孙中有族长约珥和他的弟兄一百三十人。

Of the sons of Gershom； Joel the chief， and his brethren an hundred and thirty：

15：8 以利撒反子孙中有族长示玛雅和他的弟兄二百人。

Of the sons of Elizaphan； Shemaiah the chief， and his brethren two hundred：

15：9 希伯仑子孙中有族长以列和他的弟兄八十人。

Of the sons of Hebron； Eliel the chief， and his brethren fourscore：

15：10 乌薛子孙中有族长亚米拿达和他的弟兄一百一十二人。

Of the sons of Uzziel； Amminadab the chief， and his brethren an hundred and twelve.

15：11 大卫将祭司撒督和亚比亚他，并利未人乌列，亚帅雅，约珥，示玛雅，以列，亚米拿达召来，And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests， and for the Levites， for Uriel， Asaiah， and Joel， Shemaiah， and Eliel， and Amminadab，

15：12 对他们说，你们是利未人的族长，你们和你们的弟兄应当自洁，好将耶和华以色列神的约柜抬到我所预备的地方。

And said unto them， Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites： sanctify yourselves， both ye and your brethren， that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it.

15：13 因你们先前没有抬这约柜，按定例求问耶和华我们的神，所以他刑罚（原文作闯杀）我们。

For because ye did it not at the first， the LORD our God made a breach upon us， for that we sought him not after the due order.

15：14 于是祭司利未人自洁，好将耶和华以色列神的约柜抬上来。

So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

15：15 利未子孙就用杠，肩抬神的约柜，是照耶和华藉摩西所吩咐的。

And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon， as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.

15：16 大卫吩咐利未人的族长，派他们歌唱的弟兄用琴瑟和钹作乐，欢欢喜喜地大声歌颂。

And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of musick， psalteries and harps and cymbals， sounding， by lifting up the voice with joy.

15：17 于是利未人派约珥的儿子希幔和他弟兄中比利家的儿子亚萨，并他们族弟兄米拉利子孙里古沙雅的儿子以探。

So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel； and of his brethren， Asaph the son of Berechiah； and of the sons of Merari their brethren， Ethan the son of Kushaiah；

15：18 其次还有他们的弟兄撒迦利雅，便雅薛，示米拉末，耶歇，乌尼，以利押，比拿雅，玛西雅，玛他提雅，以利斐利户，弥克尼雅，并守门的俄别以东和耶利。

And with them their brethren of the second degree， Zechariah， Ben， and Jaaziel， and Shemiramoth， and Jehiel， and Unni， Eliab， and Benaiah， and Maaseiah， and Mattithiah， and Elipheleh， and Mikneiah， and Obededom， and Jeiel， the porters.

15：19 这样，派歌唱的希幔，亚萨，以探敲铜钹，大发响声。

So the singers， Heman， Asaph， and Ethan， were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass；

15：20 派撒迦利雅，雅薛，示米拉末，耶歇，乌尼，以利押，玛西雅，比拿雅鼓瑟，调用女音。

And Zechariah， and Aziel， and Shemiramoth， and Jehiel， and Unni， and Eliab， and Maaseiah， and Benaiah， with psalteries on Alamoth；

15：21 又派玛他提雅，以利斐利户，弥克尼雅，俄别以东，耶利，亚撒西雅领首弹琴，调用第八。

And Mattithiah， and Elipheleh， and Mikneiah， and Obededom， and Jeiel， and Azaziah， with harps on the Sheminith to excel.

15：22 利未人的族长基拿尼雅是歌唱人的首领，又教训人歌唱，因为他精通此事。

And Chenaniah， chief of the Levites， was for song： he instructed about the song， because he was skilful.

15：23 比利家，以利加拿是约柜前守门的。

And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

15：24 祭司示巴尼，约沙法，拿坦业，亚玛赛，撒迦利雅，比拿亚，以利以谢在神的约柜前吹号。俄别以东和耶希亚也是约柜前守门的。

And Shebaniah， and Jehoshaphat， and Nethaneel， and Amasai， and Zechariah， and Benaiah， and Eliezer， the priests， did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God： and Obededom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.

15：25 于是，大卫和以色列的长老，并千夫长都去从俄别以东的家欢欢喜喜地将耶和华的约柜抬上来。

So David， and the elders of Israel， and the captains over thousands， went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obededom with joy.

15：26 神赐恩与抬耶和华约柜的利未人，他们就献上七只公牛，七只公羊。

And it came to pass， when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD， that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.

15：27 大卫和抬约柜的利未人，并歌唱人的首领基拿尼雅，以及歌唱的人，都穿着细麻布的外袍。大卫另外穿着细麻布的以弗得。

And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen， and all the Levites that bare the ark， and the singers， and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers： David also had upon him an ephod of linen.

15：28 这样，以色列众人欢呼吹角，吹号，敲钹，鼓瑟，弹琴，大发响声，将耶和华的约柜抬上来。

Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting， and with sound of the cornet， and with trumpets， and with cymbals， making a noise with psalteries and harps.

15：29 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，见大卫王踊跃跳舞，心里就轻视他。

And it came to pass， as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David， that Michal， the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing： and she despised him in her heart.
