Here are the words we heard in Ephrathah. We heard them again in the fields of Kiriath Jearim.

我们听说约柜在以法他，我们在基列耶琳就寻见了。

我们听说约柜在以法他，我们在雅珥的田野寻见它。

我们听说约柜在以法他，我们在雅珥的田野寻见它。

我们在以法他听到约柜的消息，在基列·耶琳找到了它。

我们听说约柜在以法他；我们在雅珥的田间找到它。

看哪，我们在以法他听到约柜的消息，我们在雅尔的田野中找到了它！

我們聽說約櫃在以法他，我們在基列‧耶琳就尋見了。

我們聽說約櫃在以法他，我們在雅珥的田野尋見它。

看哪，我們聽說約櫃在以法他；我們在雅珥田野上找到了。

我聞約匱在以法他、遇之於林野兮、

斯言也、我在以法大聞之、在雅耳田遇之兮、

我儕曾聞法匱先在以法他、後尋得在雅珥野、

風聞法櫃。在彼以法。我竟得之。於彼林邑。

We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:

Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

We heard that the Ark was in Ephrathah; then we found it in the distant countryside of Jaar.

We heard of the ark in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

Behold, we heard about it in Ephrathah, We found it in the field of Jaar.

Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; We found it in the fields of the woods.

Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah: We found it in the field of the wood.

We heard of the ark in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.

Look, we heard about it in Ephrathah, we found it in the territory of Jaar.

Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:

David was the son of an Ephrathite whose name was Jesse. Jesse was from Bethlehem in Judah and had eight sons. When Saul was king, Jesse was already very old.

So the men of Kiriath Jearim came and got the ark of the Lord. They brought it up to Abinadab’s house on the hill. They set his son Eleazar apart to guard the ark.

So Rachel died. She was buried beside the road to Ephrath. Ephrath was also called Bethlehem.

The man’s name was Elimelek. His wife’s name was Naomi. The names of his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion. They were Ephrathites whose home had been in Bethlehem in Judah. They went to Moab and lived there.

David gathered together all the Israelites. They came from the area between the Shihor River in Egypt and Lebo Hamath. They came to bring the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim to Jerusalem.David went to Baalah of Judah. The whole community of Israel went with him. Baalah is also called Kiriath Jearim. All the people went there to get the ark of God the Lord. He sits on his throne between the cherubim. The ark is named after the Lord.

The Lord says,“ Bethlehem Ephrathah, you might not be an important town in the nation of Judah. But out of you will come for me a ruler over Israel. His family line goes back to the early years of your nation. It goes all the way back to days of long ago.”
