撒母耳记下 6
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
约柜停放在俄别·以东的家(A)
6 大卫又聚集以色列中所有拣选出来的三万人。 2 大卫和与他在一起的众人起程前去,要从巴拉.犹大把 神的约柜运来,这约柜的名称是以坐在二基路伯之上万军之耶和华的名字而起的。 3 他们把 神的约柜从山冈上亚比拿达的家里抬出来,安放在一辆新车上;亚比拿达的两个儿子,乌撒和亚希约赶着这辆新车, 4 车上有 神的约柜(按《七十士译本》和《死海古卷》;《马索拉文本》在本句前有“他们从山岗上亚比拿达的家里抬出来”,可能是抄写员无意中重复了3节的字句)。亚希约走在约柜的前面。 5 大卫和以色列全家在耶和华面前用各种松木制造的乐器,就是用琴、瑟、鼓、钹、锣,作乐跳舞。
6 他们到了拿艮的打禾场的时候,因为牛几乎绊倒,乌撒就伸手扶住 神的约柜。 7 耶和华的怒气向乌撒发作; 神因这错误的举动,就当场击杀他,他就死在 神的约柜旁边。 8 大卫因为耶和华击杀了乌撒,就很生气,因此称那地方为毘列斯.乌撒,直到今日。 9 那一天,大卫惧怕耶和华,说:“耶和华的约柜怎可以到我这里来呢?” 10 于是大卫不肯把耶和华的约柜运进大卫的城到他那里去,却转运到迦特人俄别.以东的家里去。 11 耶和华的约柜在迦特人俄别.以东的家停留了三个月,耶和华赐福给俄别.以东和他的全家。
约柜运进大卫城(B)
12 有人告诉大卫王:“耶和华因为 神的约柜的缘故,赐福给俄别.以东的家和一切属他的。”大卫就去,欢欢喜喜把 神的约柜从俄别.以东的家中抬上大卫的城里去。 13 那些抬耶和华的约柜的人走了六步,大卫就献一头公牛和一只肥畜为祭。 14 大卫束着细麻布的以弗得,在耶和华面前极力跳舞。 15 这样,大卫和以色列全家,以欢呼和角声,把耶和华的约柜抬了上来。
大卫跳舞,米甲鄙视(C)
16 耶和华的约柜运进大卫城的时候,扫罗的女儿米甲从窗户往外观看,看见大卫王在耶和华面前跳跃舞蹈,心里就鄙视他。 17 他们把耶和华的约柜抬进去,安放在帐棚里它自己的地方,就是安放在大卫给它支搭的帐棚里,大卫就在耶和华面前献上燔祭和平安祭。 18 大卫献完了燔祭和平安祭,就奉万军之耶和华的名给人民祝福。 19 又分给众人,就是分给以色列全体群众,无论男女,每人一个饼、一个枣饼、一个葡萄干饼;然后众人就各归各家去了。
20 大卫回去要给自己的家人祝福。扫罗的女儿米甲出来迎见大卫,说:“以色列王今天多么荣耀啊!他今天竟在众臣仆的婢女眼前,赤身露体,就像一个卑贱的人无耻地露体一样。” 21 大卫对米甲说:“我是在耶和华面前跳舞(《马索拉文本》无“跳舞”;现参照《七十士译本》补上);耶和华拣选了我,使我高过你父亲和他的全家,立我作耶和华的子民以色列的领袖,所以我要在耶和华面前跳舞作乐。 22 我还要比今天这样更卑贱,我要自视卑微(按照《七十士译本》,“自视卑微”作“在你的眼中看为卑微”)。至于你所说的那些婢女,她们倒要尊重我。” 23 扫罗的女儿米甲,一直到她死的日子,都没有生育。
2 Samuel 6
Common English Bible
God’s chest is brought to Jerusalem
6 Once again David assembled the select warriors of Israel, thirty thousand strong. 2 David and all the troops who were with him set out for Baalah, which is Kiriath-jearim of Judah,[a] to bring God’s chest up from there—the chest that is called by the name[b] of the Lord of heavenly forces, who sits enthroned on the winged creatures. 3 They loaded God’s chest on a new cart and carried it from Abinadab’s house, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, Abinadab’s sons, were driving the new cart. 4 [c] Uzzah was beside God’s chest while Ahio was walking in front of it. 5 Meanwhile, David and the entire house of Israel celebrated in the Lord’s presence with all their strength, with songs,[d] zithers, harps, tambourines, rattles, and cymbals.
6 When they approached Nacon’s threshing floor, Uzzah reached out to God’s chest and grabbed it because the oxen had stumbled.[e] 7 The Lord became angry at Uzzah, and God struck him there because of his mistake,[f] and he died there next to God’s chest. 8 Then David got angry because the Lord’s anger lashed out against Uzzah, and so that place is called Perez-uzzah today.[g]
9 David was frightened by the Lord that day. “How will I ever bring the Lord’s chest to me?” he asked. 10 So David didn’t take the chest away with him to David’s City. Instead, he had it put in the house of Obed-edom, who was from Gath. 11 The Lord’s chest stayed with Obed-edom’s household in Gath for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom’s household and all that he had.
12 King David was told, “The Lord has blessed Obed-edom’s family and everything he has because of God’s chest being there.”[h] So David went and brought God’s chest up from Obed-edom’s house to David’s City with celebration. 13 Whenever those bearing the chest advanced six steps, David sacrificed an ox and a fatling calf. 14 David, dressed in a linen priestly vest,[i] danced with all his strength before the Lord. 15 This is how David and the entire house of Israel brought up the Lord’s chest with shouts and trumpet blasts.
16 As the Lord’s chest entered David’s City, Saul’s daughter Michal was watching from a window. She saw King David jumping and dancing before the Lord, and she lost all respect for him.[j]
17 The Lord’s chest was brought in and put in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it. Then David offered entirely burned offerings in the Lord’s presence in addition to well-being sacrifices. 18 When David finished offering the entirely burned offerings and the well-being sacrifices, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of heavenly forces. 19 He distributed food among all the people of Israel—to the whole crowd, male and female—each receiving a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. Then all the people went back to their homes.
20 David went home to bless his household, but Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. “How did Israel’s king honor himself today?” she said. “By exposing himself in plain view of the female servants of his subjects like any indecent person would!”
21 David replied to Michal, “I was celebrating before the Lord, who chose me over your father and his entire family, and who appointed me leader over the Lord’s people, over Israel—and I will celebrate before the Lord again! 22 I may humiliate myself even more, and I may be humbled in my own eyes, but I will be honored by the female servants you are talking about!”
23 Michal, Saul’s daughter, had no children to the day she died.

The Ark Brought to Jerusalem(A)(B)
6 David again brought together all the able young men of Israel—thirty thousand. 2 He and all his men went to Baalah[a](C) in Judah to bring up from there the ark(D) of God, which is called by the Name,[b](E) the name of the Lord Almighty, who is enthroned(F) between the cherubim(G) on the ark. 3 They set the ark of God on a new cart(H) and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill.(I) Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart 4 with the ark of God on it,[c] and Ahio was walking in front of it. 5 David and all Israel were celebrating(J) with all their might before the Lord, with castanets,[d] harps, lyres, timbrels, sistrums and cymbals.(K)
6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of(L) the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled. 7 The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act;(M) therefore God struck him down,(N) and he died there beside the ark of God.
8 Then David was angry because the Lord’s wrath(O) had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah.[e](P)
9 David was afraid of the Lord that day and said, “How(Q) can the ark of the Lord ever come to me?” 10 He was not willing to take the ark of the Lord to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom(R) the Gittite. 11 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.(S)
12 Now King David(T) was told, “The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and everything he has, because of the ark of God.” So David went to bring up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with rejoicing. 13 When those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed(U) a bull and a fattened calf. 14 Wearing a linen ephod,(V) David was dancing(W) before the Lord with all his might, 15 while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts(X) and the sound of trumpets.(Y)
16 As the ark of the Lord was entering the City of David,(Z) Michal(AA) 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 They brought the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it,(AB) and David sacrificed burnt offerings(AC) and fellowship offerings before the Lord. 18 After he had finished sacrificing(AD) the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed(AE) the people in the name of the Lord Almighty. 19 Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins(AF) to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women.(AG) And all the people went to their homes.
20 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, going around half-naked(AH) in full view of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!”
21 David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed(AI) me ruler(AJ) over the Lord’s people Israel—I will celebrate before the Lord. 22 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 And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.

Jubilee Bible 2000
6 ¶ Again, David gathered together all the chosen of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 And David arose and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God upon which the name of the LORD of the hosts is invoked, who dwells there between the cherubim.
3 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah, and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab drove the new cart.
4 And when they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was at Gibeah, with the ark of God, Ahio went before the ark.
5 And David and all the house of Israel danced before the LORD with all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps and on psalteries and on timbrels and on cornets and on cymbals.
6 ¶ And when they came to Nachon’s threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen shook it.
7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah, and God smote him there for his effrontery, and there he died by the ark of God.
8 And David was grieved because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah, and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.
9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?
10 So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David, but David carried it aside into the house of Obededom, the Gittite.
11 And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months; and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.
12 ¶ And it was told King David, saying, The LORD has blessed the house of Obededom and all that pertains unto him because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.
13 And it was so that when those that bore the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might, and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and with the sound of the shofar.
16 And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, and she despised him in her heart.
17 And they brought in the ark of the LORD and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it, and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
18 And as soon as David had finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of the hosts.
19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, to the men as well to the women, to each one a cake of bread and a good piece of flesh and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed each one to his house.
20 ¶ Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal, the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, How glorious was the king of Israel today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his slaves as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!
21 Then David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, who chose me over thy father and over all his house to appoint me prince over the people of the LORD, over Israel; therefore, I will dance before the LORD.
22 And I will yet be more vile than thus and will be base in my own sight and before the maidservants whom thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.
23 Therefore, Michal, the daughter of Saul, had no children unto the day of her death.
