1And Satan rose up against Israel: and moved David to number Israel.
1撒但起來攻擊 以色列 人，激動 大衛 數點他們。
2And David said to Joab, and to the rulers of the people: Go, and number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me the number of them that I may know it.
2大衛 就吩咐 約押 和民中的首領說：「你們去數點 以色列 人，從 別是巴 直到 但 ，回來告訴我，我好知道他們的數目。」
3And Joab answered: The Lord make his people a hundred times more than they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all thy servants: why doth my lord seek this thing, which may be imputed as a sin to Israel?
3約押 說：「願耶和華使他的百姓比現在加增百倍。我主我王啊，他們不都是你的僕人嗎？我主為何吩咐行這事，為何使 以色列 人陷在罪裏呢？」
4But the king’s word rather prevailed: and Joab departed, and went through all Israel: and returned to Jerusalem.
4但王的命令勝過 約押 。 約押 就出去，走遍 以色列 地，回到 耶路撒冷 ，
5And he gave David the number of them, whom he had surveyed: and all the number of Israel was found to be eleven hundred thousand men that drew the sword: and of Juda four hundred and seventy thousand fighting men.
5將百姓的總數奏告 大衛 ： 以色列 人拿刀的有一百一十萬； 猶大 人拿刀的有四十七萬。
6But Levi and Benjamin he did not number: for Joab unwillingly executed the king’s orders.
6惟有 利未 人和 便雅憫 人沒有數在其中，因為 約押 厭惡王的這命令。
7And God was displeased with this thing that was commanded: and he struck Israel.
7上帝不喜悅這數點百姓的事，便降災給 以色列 人。
8And David said to God: I have sinned exceedingly in doing this: I beseech thee take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done foolishly.
8大衛 禱告上帝說：「我行這事大有罪了！現在求你除掉僕人的罪孽，因我所行的甚是愚昧。」
9And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer of David, saying:
9耶和華吩咐 大衛 的先見 迦得 說：
10Go, and speak to David, and tell him: Thus saith the Lord: I give thee the choice of three things: choose one which thou wilt, and I will do it to thee.
10「你去告訴 大衛 說，耶和華如此說：我有三樣災，隨你選擇一樣，我好降與你。」
11And when Gad was come to David, he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: choose which thou wilt:
11於是， 迦得 來見 大衛 ，對他說：「耶和華如此說：『你可以隨意選擇：
12Either three years’ famine: or three months to flee from thy enemies, and not to be able to escape their sword: or three days to have the sword of the Lord, and pestilence in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying in all the coasts of Israel: now therefore see what I shall answer him who sent me.
12或三年的饑荒；或敗在你敵人面前，被敵人的刀追殺三個月；或在你國中有耶和華的刀，就是三日的瘟疫，耶和華的使者在 以色列 的四境施行毀滅。』現在你要想一想，我好回覆那差我來的。」
13And David said to Gad: I am on every side in a great strait: but it is better for me to fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies are many, than into the hands of men.
13大衛 對 迦得 說：「我甚為難。我願落在耶和華的手裏，因為他有豐盛的憐憫；我不願落在人的手裏。」
14So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel. And there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
14於是，耶和華降瘟疫與 以色列 人， 以色列 人就死了七萬。
15And he sent an angel to Jerusalem, to strike it: and as he was striking it, the Lord beheld, and took pity for the greatness of the evil: and said to the angel that destroyed: It is enough, now stop thy hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the thrashing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
15上帝差遣使者去滅 耶路撒冷 ，剛要滅的時候，耶和華看見後悔，就不降這災了，吩咐滅城的天使說：「夠了，住手吧！」那時，耶和華的使者站在 耶布斯 人 阿珥楠 的禾場那裏。
16And David lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand, turned against Jerusalem: and both he and the ancients clothed in haircloth, fell down flat on the ground.
16大衛 舉目，看見耶和華的使者站在天地間，手裏有拔出來的刀，伸在 耶路撒冷 以上。 大衛 和長老都身穿麻衣，面伏於地。
17And David said to God: Am not I he that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned: it is I that have done the evil: but as for this flock, what hath it deserved? O Lord my God, let thy hand be turned, I beseech thee, upon me, and upon my father’s house: and let not thy people be destroyed.
17大衛 禱告上帝說：「吩咐數點百姓的不是我嗎？我犯了罪，行了惡，但這群羊做了甚麼呢？願耶和華－我上帝的手攻擊我和我的父家，不要攻擊你的民，降瘟疫與他們。」
18And the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to tell David, to go up, and build an altar to the Lord God in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
18耶和華的使者吩咐 迦得 去告訴 大衛 ，叫他上去，在 耶布斯 人 阿珥楠 的禾場上為耶和華築一座壇；
19And David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spoke to him in the name of the Lord.
19大衛 就照着 迦得 奉耶和華名所說的話上去了。
20Now when Ornan looked up, and saw the angel, he and his four sons hid themselves: for at that time he was thrashing wheat in the floor.
20那時 阿珥楠 正打麥子，回頭看見天使，就和他四個兒子都藏起來了。
21And as David was coming to Ornan, Ornan saw him, and went out of the thrashingfloor to meet him, and bowed down to him with his face to the ground.
21大衛 到了 阿珥楠 那裏， 阿珥楠 看見 大衛 ，就從禾場上出去，臉伏於地，向他下拜。
22And David said to him: Give me this place of thy thrashingfloor, that I may build therein an altar to the Lord: but thou shalt take of me as much money as it is worth, that the plague may cease from the people.
22大衛 對 阿珥楠 說：「你將這禾場與相連之地賣給我，我必給你足價，我好在其上為耶和華築一座壇，使民間的瘟疫止住。」
23And Ornan said to David: Take it, and let my lord the king do all that pleaseth him: and moreover the oxen also I give for a holocaust, and the drays for wood, and the wheat for the sacrifice: I will give it all willingly.
23阿珥楠 對 大衛 說：「你可以用這禾場，願我主我王照你所喜悅的去行。我也將牛給你作燔祭，把打糧的器具當柴燒，拿麥子作素祭。這些我都送給你。」
24And king David said to him: It shall not be so, but I will give thee money as much as it is worth: for I must not take it from thee, and so offer to the Lord holocausts free cost.
24大衛 王對 阿珥楠 說：「不然！我必要用足價向你買。我不用你的物獻給耶和華，也不用白得之物獻為燔祭。」
25So David gave to Ornan for the place, six hundred sicles of gold of just weight.
25於是 大衛 為那塊地平了六百舍客勒金子給 阿珥楠 。
26And he built there an altar to the Lord: and he offered holocausts, and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord, and he heard him by sending Are from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust.
26大衛 在那裏為耶和華築了一座壇，獻燔祭和平安祭，求告耶和華。耶和華就應允他，使火從天降在燔祭壇上。
27And the Lord commanded the angel: and he put up his sword again into the sheath.
27耶和華吩咐使者，他就收刀入鞘。
28And David seeing that the Lord had heard him in the thrashingfloor of Oman the Jebusite, forthwith offered victims there.
28那時， 大衛 見耶和華在 耶布斯 人 阿珥楠 的禾場上應允了他，就在那裏獻祭。
29But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of holocausts, was at that time in the high place of Gabaon.
29摩西 在曠野所造之耶和華的帳幕和燔祭壇都在 基遍 的高處；
30And David could not go to the altar there to pray to God: for he was seized with an exceeding great fear, seeing the sword of the angel of the Lord.
30只是 大衛 不敢前去求問上帝，因為懼怕耶和華使者的刀。
