2 Samuel 24
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He moved David against them, saying: 'Go, number Israel and Judah.'
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。
2And the king said to Joab the captain of the host that was with him: 'Go now to and fro through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the sum of the people.'
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。」
3And Joab said unto the king: 'Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many soever they may be, a hundredfold, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it; but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?'
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？」
4Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
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。
5And they passed over the Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and unto Jazer;
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，
6then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and round about to Zidon,
6又到了 基列 和 他停·合示 地，又到了 但·雅安 ，绕到 西顿 ，
7and came to the stronghold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites; and they went out to the south of Judah, at Beer-sheba.
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 。
8So when they had gone to and fro through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
8他们走遍全地，过了九个月零二十天，就回到 耶路撒冷 。
9And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people unto the king; and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
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。
10And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD: 'I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, O LORD, put away, I beseech Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.'
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。」
11And when David rose up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying:
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：
12'Go and speak unto David: Thus saith the LORD: I lay upon thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.'
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。』」
13So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him: 'Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thy foes while they pursue thee? or shall there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise thee, and consider what answer I shall return to Him that sent Me.'
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。」
14And David said unto Gad: 'I am in a great strait; let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for His mercies are great; and let me not fall into the hand of man.'
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。」
15So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed; and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand 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。
16And when the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented Him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people: 'It is enough; now stay thy hand.' And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
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。
17And David spoke unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said: 'Lo, I have sinned, and I have done iniquitously; but these sheep, what have they done? let Thy hand, I pray Thee, be against me, and against my father's house.'
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。」
18And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him: 'Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.'
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。」
19And David went up according to the saying of Gad, as the LORD commanded.
19大卫 就照着 迦得 奉耶和华名所说的话上去了。
20And Araunah looked forth, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him; and Araunah went out, and bowed down before the king with his face to the ground.
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，
21And Araunah said: 'Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant?' And David said: 'To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.'
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。」
22And Araunah said unto David: 'Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him; behold the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-instruments and the furniture of the oxen for the wood.'
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。
23All this did Araunah the king give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king: 'The LORD thy God accept thee.'
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。」
24And the king said unto Araunah: 'Nay; but I will verily buy it of thee at a price; neither will I offer burnt-offerings unto the LORD my God which cost me nothing.' So David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
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。
25And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. So the LORD was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
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。
