1Now the ark of God was in the land of the Philistines seven months.
1耶和華的 約 櫃在 非利士 人之地七個月。
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:
2非利士 人將祭司和占卜的聚了來，問他們說：「我們向耶和華的 約 櫃應當怎樣行？請指示我們用何法將 約 櫃送回原處。」
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.
3他們說：「若要將 以色列 上帝的 約 櫃送回去，不可空空地送去，必要給他獻賠罪的禮物，然後你們可得痊癒，並知道他的手為何不離開你們。」
4They answered: What is it we ought to render unto him for sin? and they answered:
4非利士 人說：「應當用甚麼獻為賠罪的禮物呢？」他們回答說：「當照 非利士 首領的數目，用五個金痔瘡，五個金老鼠，因為在你們眾人和你們首領的身上都是一樣的災。
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.
5所以當製造你們痔瘡的像和毀壞你們田地老鼠的像，並要歸榮耀給 以色列 的上帝，或者他向你們和你們的神，並你們的田地，把手放輕些。
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?
6你們為何硬着心像 埃及 人和法老一樣呢？上帝在 埃及 人中間行奇事， 埃及 人豈不釋放 以色列 人，他們就去了嗎？
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.
7現在你們應當造一輛新車，將兩隻未曾負軛有乳的母牛套在車上，使牛犢回家去，離開母牛。
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.
8把耶和華的 約 櫃放在車上，將所獻賠罪的金物裝在匣子裏，放在櫃旁，將櫃送去。
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.
9你們要看看：車若直行 以色列 的境界到 伯‧示麥 去，這大災就是耶和華降在我們身上的；若不然，便可以知道不是他的手擊打我們，是我們偶然遇見的。」
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.
10非利士 人就這樣行：將兩隻有乳的母牛套在車上，將牛犢關在家裏，
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.
11把耶和華的 約 櫃和裝金老鼠並金痔瘡像的匣子都放在車上。
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.
12牛直行大道，往 伯‧示麥 去，一面走一面叫，不偏左右。 非利士 的首領跟在後面，直到 伯‧示麥 的境界。
13Now the Bethsamites were reaping wheat in the valley: and lifting up their eyes they saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
13伯‧示麥 人正在平原收割麥子，舉目看見 約 櫃，就歡喜了。
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.
14車到了 伯‧示麥 人 約書亞 的田間，就站住了。在那裏有一塊大磐石，他們把車劈了，將兩隻母牛獻給耶和華為燔祭。
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.
15利未 人將耶和華的 約 櫃和裝金物的匣子拿下來，放在大磐石上。當日 伯‧示麥 人將燔祭和 平安 祭獻給耶和華。
16And the five princes of the Philistines saw, and they returned to Accaron the same day.
16非利士 人的五個首領看見，當日就回 以革倫 去了。
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:
17非利士 人獻給耶和華作賠罪的金痔瘡像，就是這些：一個是為 亞實突 ，一個是為 迦薩 ，一個是為 亞實基倫 ，一個是為 迦特 ，一個是為 以革倫 。
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.
18金老鼠的數目是照 非利士 五個首領的城邑，就是堅固的城邑和鄉村，以及大磐石。這磐石是放耶和華 約 櫃的，到今日還在 伯‧示麥 人 約書亞 的田間。
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.
19耶和華因 伯‧示麥 人擅觀他的 約 櫃，就擊殺了他們七十人；那時有五萬人在那裏。百姓因耶和華大大擊殺他們，就哀哭了。
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?
20伯‧示麥 人說：「誰能在耶和華這聖潔的上帝面前侍立呢？這 約 櫃可以從我們這裏送到誰那裏去呢？」
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.
21於是打發人去見 基列‧耶琳 的居民，說：「 非利士 人將耶和華的 約 櫃送回來了，你們下來將 約 櫃接到你們那裏去吧！」
