撒母耳记上 6
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1耶和华的 约 柜在 非利士 人之地七个月。
1Now the ark of God was in the land of the Philistines seven months.
2非利士 人将祭司和占卜的聚了来，问他们说：「我们向耶和华的 约 柜应当怎样行？请指示我们用何法将 约 柜送回原处。」
2And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying: What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? tell us how we are to send it back to its place? And they said:
3他们说：「若要将 以色列 神的 约 柜送回去，不可空空地送去，必要给他献赔罪的礼物，然后你们可得痊愈，并知道他的手为何不离开你们。」
3If you send back the ark of the God of Israel, send it not away empty, but render unto him what you owe for sin, and then you shall be healed: and you shall know why his hand departeth not from you.
4非利士 人说：「应当用什么献为赔罪的礼物呢？」他们回答说：「当照 非利士 首领的数目，用五个金痔疮，五个金老鼠，因为在你们众人和你们首领的身上都是一样的灾。
4They answered: What is it we ought to render unto him for sin? and they answered:
5所以当制造你们痔疮的像和毁坏你们田地老鼠的像，并要归荣耀给 以色列 的 神，或者他向你们和你们的神，并你们的田地，把手放轻些。
5According to the number of the provinces of the Philistines you shall make five golden emerods, and five golden mice: for the same plague hath been upon you all, and upon your lords. And you shall make the likeness of your emerods, and the likeness of the mice that have destroyed the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel: to see if he will take off his hand from you, and from your gods, and from your land.
6你们为何硬着心像 埃及 人和法老一样呢？ 神在 埃及 人中间行奇事， 埃及 人岂不释放 以色列 人，他们就去了吗？
6Why do you harden your hearts, as Egypt and Pharao hardened their hearts? did not he, after he was struck, then let them go, and they departed?
7现在你们应当造一辆新车，将两只未曾负轭有乳的母牛套在车上，使牛犊回家去，离开母牛。
7Now therefore take and make a new cart: and two kine that have calved, on which there hath come no yoke, tie to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
8把耶和华的 约 柜放在车上，将所献赔罪的金物装在匣子里，放在柜旁，将柜送去。
8And you shall take the ark of the Lord, and lay it on the cart, and the vessels of gold, which you have paid him for sin, you shall put into a little box, at the side thereof: and send it away that it may go.
9你们要看看：车若直行 以色列 的境界到 伯·示麦 去，这大灾就是耶和华降在我们身上的；若不然，便可以知道不是他的手击打我们，是我们偶然遇见的。」
9And you shall look: and if it go up by the way of his own coasts towards Bethsames, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, we shall know that it is not his hand hath touched us, but it hath happened by chance.
10非利士 人就这样行：将两只有乳的母牛套在车上，将牛犊关在家里，
10They did therefore in this manner: and taking two kine, that had suckling calves, they yoked them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
11把耶和华的 约 柜和装金老鼠并金痔疮像的匣子都放在车上。
11And they laid the ark of God upon the cart, and the little box that had in it the golden mice and the likeness of the emerods.
12牛直行大道，往 伯·示麦 去，一面走一面叫，不偏左右。 非利士 的首领跟在后面，直到 伯·示麦 的境界。
12And the kine took the straight way that leadeth to Bethsames, and they went along the way, lowing as they went: and turned not aside neither to the right hand nor to the left: and the lords of the Philistines followed them as far as the borders of Bethsames.
13伯·示麦 人正在平原收割麦子，举目看见 约 柜，就欢喜了。
13Now the Bethsamites were reaping wheat in the valley: and lifting up their eyes they saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
14车到了 伯·示麦 人 约书亚 的田间，就站住了。在那里有一块大磐石，他们把车劈了，将两只母牛献给耶和华为燔祭。
14And the cart came into the field of Josue a Bethsamite, and stood there. And there was a great stone, and they cut in pieces the wood of the cart, and laid the kine upon it a holocaust to the Lord.
15利未 人将耶和华的 约 柜和装金物的匣子拿下来，放在大磐石上。当日 伯·示麦 人将燔祭和 平安 祭献给耶和华。
15And the Levites took down the ark of God, and the little box that was at the side of it, wherein were the vessels of gold, and they put them upon the great stone. The men also of Bethsames offered holocausts and sacrificed victims that day to the Lord.
16非利士 人的五个首领看见，当日就回 以革伦 去了。
16And the five princes of the Philistines saw, and they returned to Accaron the same day.
17非利士 人献给耶和华作赔罪的金痔疮像，就是这些：一个是为 亚实突 ，一个是为 迦萨 ，一个是为 亚实基伦 ，一个是为 迦特 ，一个是为 以革伦 。
17And these are the golden emerods, which the Philistines returned for sin to the Lord: For Azotus one, for Gaza one, for Ascalon one, for Geth one, for Accaron one:
18金老鼠的数目是照 非利士 五个首领的城邑，就是坚固的城邑和乡村，以及大磐石。这磐石是放耶和华 约 柜的，到今日还在 伯·示麦 人 约书亚 的田间。
18And the golden mice according to the number of the cities of the Philistines, of the five provinces, from the fenced city to the village that was without wall, and to the great Abel (the stone) whereon they set down the ark of the Lord, which was till that day in the field of Josue the Bethsamite.
19耶和华因 伯·示麦 人擅观他的 约 柜，就击杀了他们七十人；那时有五万人在那里。百姓因耶和华大大击杀他们，就哀哭了。
19But he slew of the men of Bethsames, because they had seen the ark of the Lord: and he slew of the people seventy men, and fifty thousand of the common people. And the people lamented, because the Lord had smitten the people with a great slaughter.
20伯·示麦 人说：「谁能在耶和华这圣洁的 神面前侍立呢？这 约 柜可以从我们这里送到谁那里去呢？」
20And the men of Bethsames said: Who shall be able to stand before the Lord this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
21于是打发人去见 基列·耶琳 的居民，说：「 非利士 人将耶和华的 约 柜送回来了，你们下来将 约 柜接到你们那里去吧！」
21And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Cariathiarim, saying: The Philistines have brought back the ark of the Lord, come ye down and fetch it up to you.
