撒母耳记下 24
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1耶和华又向 以色列 人发怒，就激动 大卫 ，使他吩咐人去数点 以色列 人和 犹大 人。
1Again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He stirred up David against them, saying, “Go and take a census of Israel and Judah.”
2大卫 就吩咐跟随他的元帅 约押 说：「你去走遍 以色列 众支派，从 但 直到 别是巴 ，数点百姓，我好知道他们的数目。」
2So the king said to Joab the commander of his army, who was with him, “Go now throughout the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beersheba and register the troops, so that I may know their number.”
3约押 对王说：「无论百姓多少，愿耶和华—你的 神再加增百倍，使我主我王亲眼得见。我主我王何必喜悦行这事呢？」
3But Joab replied to the king, “May the LORD your God multiply the troops a hundred times over, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king want to do such a thing?”
4但王的命令胜过 约押 和众军长。 约押 和众军长就从王面前出去，数点 以色列 的百姓。
4Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders of the army departed from the presence of the king to count the troops of Israel.
5他们过了 约旦河 ，在 迦得谷 中、城的右边 亚罗珥 安营，与 雅谢 相对，
5They crossed the Jordan and camped near Aroer, south of the town in the middle of the valley, and proceeded toward Gad and Jazer.
6又到了 基列 和 他停·合示 地，又到了 但·雅安 ，绕到 西顿 ，
6Then they went to Gilead and the land of Tahtim-hodshi, and on to Dan-jaan and around to Sidon.
7来到 泰尔 的保障，并 希未 人和 迦南 人的各城，又到 犹大 南方的 别是巴 。
7They went toward the fortress of Tyre and all the cities of the Hivites and Canaanites. Finally, they went on to the Negev of Judah, to Beersheba.
8他们走遍全地，过了九个月零二十天，就回到 耶路撒冷 。
8At the end of nine months and twenty days, having gone through the whole land, they returned to Jerusalem.
9约押 将百姓的总数奏告于王： 以色列 拿刀的勇士有八十万； 犹大 有五十万。
9And Joab reported to the king the total number of the troops. In Israel there were 800,000 men of valor who drew the sword, and in Judah there were 500,000.
10大卫 数点百姓以后，就心中自责，祷告耶和华说：「我行这事大有罪了。耶和华啊，求你除掉仆人的罪孽，因我所行的甚是愚昧。」
10After David had numbered the troops, his conscience was stricken and he said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. Now, O LORD, I beg You to take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.”
11大卫 早晨起来，耶和华的话临到先知 迦得 ，就是 大卫 的先见，说：
11When David got up in the morning, a revelation from the LORD had come to Gad the prophet, David’s seer:
12「你去告诉 大卫 ，说耶和华如此说：『我有三样灾，随你选择一样，我好降与你。』」
12“Go and tell David that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am offering you three options. Choose one of them, and I will carry it out against you.’”
13于是 迦得 来见 大卫 ，对他说：「你愿意国中有七年的饥荒呢？是在你敌人面前逃跑，被追赶三个月呢？是在你国中有三日的瘟疫呢？现在你要揣摩思想，我好回复那差我来的。」
13So Gad went and said to David, “Do you choose to endure three years of famine in your land, three months of fleeing the pursuit of your enemies, or three days of plague upon your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should reply to Him who sent me.”
14大卫 对 迦得 说：「我甚为难！我愿落在耶和华的手里，因为他有丰盛的怜悯。我不愿落在人的手里。」
14David answered Gad, “I am deeply distressed. Please, let us fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men.”
15于是，耶和华降瘟疫与 以色列 人，自早晨到所定的时候；从 但 直到 别是巴 ，民间死了七万人。
15So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel from that morning until the appointed time, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beersheba died.
16天使向 耶路撒冷 伸手要灭城的时候，耶和华后悔，就不降这灾了，吩咐灭民的天使说：「够了！住手吧！」那时耶和华的使者在 耶布斯 人 亚劳拿 的禾场那里。
16But when the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the LORD relented from the calamity and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand now!” At that time the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
17大卫 看见灭民的天使，就祷告耶和华说：「我犯了罪，行了恶；但这群羊做了什么呢？愿你的手攻击我和我的父家。」
17When David saw the angel striking down the people, he said to the LORD, “Surely I, the shepherd, have sinned and acted wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Please, let Your hand fall upon me and my father’s house.”
18当日， 迦得 来见 大卫 ，对他说：「你上去，在 耶布斯 人 亚劳拿 的禾场上为耶和华筑一座坛。」
18And that day Gad came to David and said to him, “Go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
19大卫 就照着 迦得 奉耶和华名所说的话上去了。
19So David went up at the word of Gad, just as the LORD had commanded.
20亚劳拿 观看，见王和他臣仆前来，就迎接出去，脸伏于地，向王下拜，
20When Araunah looked out and saw the king and his servants coming toward him, he went out and bowed facedown before the king.
21说：「我主我王为何来到仆人这里呢？」 大卫 说：「我要买你这禾场，为耶和华筑一座坛，使民间的瘟疫止住。」
21“Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” Araunah said. “To buy your threshing floor,” David replied, “that I may build an altar to the LORD, so that the plague upon the people may be halted.”
22亚劳拿 对 大卫 说：「我主我王，你喜悦用什么，就拿去献祭。看哪，这里有牛可以作燔祭，有打粮的器具和套牛的轭可以当柴烧。
22Araunah said to David, “My lord the king may take whatever seems good and offer it up. Here are the oxen for a burnt offering and the threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood.
23王啊，这一切，我 亚劳拿 都奉给你」；又对王说：「愿耶和华—你的 神悦纳你。」
23O king, Araunah gives all these to the king.” He also said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.”
24王对 亚劳拿 说：「不然。我必要按着价值向你买；我不肯用白得之物作燔祭献给耶和华—我的 神。」 大卫 就用五十舍客勒银子买了那禾场与牛。
24“No,” replied the king, “I insist on paying a price, for I will not offer to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
25大卫 在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛，献燔祭和平安祭。如此，耶和华垂听国民所求的，瘟疫在 以色列 人中就止住了。
25And there he built an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Then the LORD answered the prayers on behalf of the land, and the plague upon Israel was halted.
