先前沒有你們，耶和華我們的神就擊打我們，因為我們沒有按照定例尋求他。”

因你们先前没有抬这约柜，按定例求问耶和华我们的神，所以他刑罚我们。”

因为你们上一次没有抬这约柜，并且我们没有按规矩求问耶和华—我们的上帝，所以他冲出来攻击我们。”

因为你们上一次没有抬这约柜，并且我们没有按规矩求问耶和华—我们的神，所以他冲出来攻击我们。”

先前你们没有抬约柜，我们也没有按规矩求问我们的上帝耶和华，以致祂向我们发怒。”

先前没有你们，耶和华我们的神就击打我们，因为我们没有按照定例寻求他。”

因你們先前沒有擡這約櫃，按定例求問耶和華－我們的神，所以他刑罰我們。」

因為你們上一次沒有抬這約櫃，並且我們沒有按規矩求問耶和華－我們的上帝，所以他衝出來攻擊我們。」

因為你們上一次沒有抬這約櫃，並且我們沒有按規矩求問耶和華－我們的神，所以他衝出來攻擊我們。」

先前你們沒有抬約櫃，我們也沒有按規矩求問我們的上帝耶和華，以致祂向我們發怒。」

因為你們先前沒有這樣作過；永恆主我們的上帝便突擊了我們，因為我們沒有按規矩尋問他。』

爾曹初未舁之、亦未循例尋求上帝、故我上帝耶和華擊我儕、

爾初行此、不循常例、故上帝耶和華譴責我儕。

爾曹初未行此、我儕未循所定之例、求問主我之天主、故主我之天主降災於我儕、

It was because you, the Levites, did not bring it up the first time that the Lord our God broke out in anger against us. We did not inquire of him about how to do it in the prescribed way.”

Remember when the anger of the Lord our God broke out against us? That’s because it wasn’t you Levites who tried to carry up the ark the first time. We didn’t ask the Lord how to do it in the way the law requires.”

Because you did not carry it the first time, the Lord our God broke out against us, because we did not seek him according to the rule.”

Because you Levites did not carry the Ark the first time, the anger of the Lord our God burst out against us. We failed to ask God how to move it properly.”

For the LORD our God burst out in anger against us because you Levites were not with us the first time, for we didn’t inquire of him about the proper procedures.”

Because you did not carry it at the first, the Lord our God made an outburst against us, since we did not seek Him according to the ordinance.”

For because you did not do it the first time, the Lord our God broke out against us, because we did not consult Him about the proper order.”

For because ye bare it not at the first, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not according to the ordinance.

For the Lord our God burst out in anger against us because you Levites were not with us the first time, for we didn’t inquire of Him about the proper procedures.”

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.

The first time you did not carry it; that is why the LORD God attacked us, because we did not ask him about the proper way to carry it.”

For because you didn’t carry it at first, Yahweh our God broke out in anger against us, because we didn’t seek him according to the ordinance.”

他們把神的約櫃從山岡上亞比拿達的家裡抬出來，安放在一輛新車上；亞比拿達的兩個兒子，烏撒和亞希約趕著這輛新車，

凡事都要規規矩矩地按著次序行。

我稱讚你們，因為你們在一切事上都記念我，又持守我傳交給你們的教訓。

耶和華的怒氣向烏撒發作；神因這錯誤的舉動，就當場擊殺他，他就死在神的約櫃旁邊。大衛因為耶和華擊殺了烏撒，就很生氣，因此稱那地方為毗列斯‧烏撒，直到今日。

但是沒有分給哥轄的子孫，因為他們所辦的事是聖所的事，是要用肩頭抬的。

那時大衛說：“神的約櫃，除了利未人以外，沒有人可以抬，因為耶和華揀選了他們抬神的約櫃，並且永遠事奉他。”

摩西把這律法寫好了，就交給抬耶和華約櫃的利未支派的祭司子孫，和以色列的眾長老。

遮掩自己過犯的，必不亨通；承認並離棄過犯的，必蒙憐憫。

他們把神的約櫃，從亞比拿達家裡抬出來，放在一輛新車上，烏撒和亞希約負責趕車。大衛和以色列眾人在神面前，用詩歌，以及彈琴鼓瑟、敲手鼓、響鈸和吹號，盡情歡慶。他們到了基頓禾場的時候，因為牛失蹄絆倒，烏撒就伸手扶住約櫃。於是耶和華向烏撒發怒，因為烏撒伸手把約櫃扶住，所以神把他擊殺，他就在那裡死在神面前。大衛因耶和華忽然殺死烏撒，非常不悅，就稱那地方為毘列斯．烏撒，直到今日。

全營出發的時候，亞倫和他的兒子，把聖所和聖所的一切器具遮蓋完了以後，哥轄的子孫就要來抬；只是他們不可觸摸聖物，免得他們死亡。會幕裡這些物件是哥轄的子孫應當抬的。

因為會眾中有很多人還沒有自潔，所以利未人必須為所有不潔的人宰殺逾越節的羊羔，使他們在耶和華面前成為聖潔。原來有一大群人，很多是從以法蓮、瑪拿西、以薩迦和西布倫來的，還沒有自潔，就吃逾越節的羊羔，不遵照所記的定例；因此，希西家為他們禱告說：“凡是立定心意，專一尋求神耶和華他們列祖的神的，雖然沒有照著聖所潔淨的禮自潔，願良善的耶和華也饒恕他們。”
