1 Samuel 6

耶和华的约柜在非利士人之地七个月。

yē hé huá de yuē guì zài fēi lì shì rén zhī dì qī gè yuè 。

The LORD’s ark was in the country of the Philistines seven months.

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。」

fēi lì shì rén jiāng jì sī hé zhān bǔ de jù le lái ， wèn tā men shuō ：「 wǒ men xiàng yē hé huá de yuē guì yīng dāng zěn yàng xíng ？ qǐng zhǐ shì wǒ men yòng hé fǎ jiāng yuē guì sòng huí yuán chù 。」

The Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, “What shall we do with the LORD’s ark? Show us how we should send it to its place.”

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。」

tā men shuō ：「 ruò yào jiāng yǐ sè liè shén de yuē guì sòng huí qù ， bù kě kōng kòng dì sòng qù ， bì yào gěi tā xiàn péi zuì de lǐ wù ， rán hòu nǐ men kě dé quán yù ， bìng zhī dào tā de shǒu wèi hé bù lí kāi nǐ men 。」

They said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, don’t send it empty; but by all means return a trespass offering to him. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.”

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。

fēi lì shì rén shuō ：「 yīng dāng yòng shén me xiàn wèi péi zuì de lǐ wù ne ？」 tā men huí dá shuō ：「 dāng zhào fēi lì shì shǒu lǐng de shù mù ， yòng wǔ gè jīn zhì chuāng ， wǔ gè jīn lǎo shǔ ， yīn wèi zài nǐ men zhòng rén hé nǐ men shǒu lǐng de shēn shàng dōu shì yí yàng de zāi 。

Then they said, “What should the trespass offering be which we shall return to him?” They said, “Five golden tumors and five golden mice, for the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.

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。

suǒ yǐ dāng zhì zào nǐ men zhì chuāng de xiàng hé huǐ huài nǐ men tián dì lǎo shǔ de xiàng ， bìng yào guī róng yào gěi yǐ sè liè de shén ， huò zhě tā xiàng nǐ men hé nǐ men de shén ， bìng nǐ men de tián dì ， bǎ shǒu fàng qīng xiē 。

Therefore you shall make images of your tumors and images of your mice that mar the land; and you shall give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will release his hand from you, from your gods, and from your land.

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？

nǐ men wèi hé yìng zhe xīn xiàng āi jí rén hé fǎ lǎo yí yàng ne ？ shén zài āi jí rén zhōng jiān xíng qí shì ， āi jí rén qǐ bú shì fàng yǐ sè liè rén ， tā men jiù qù le ma ？

Why then do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When he had worked wonderfully among them, didn’t they let the people go, and they departed?

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。

xiàn zài nǐ men yīng dāng zào yí liàng xīn chē ， jiāng liǎng zhī wèi céng fù è yǒu rǔ de mǔ niú tào zài chē shàng ， shǐ niú dú huí jiā qù ， lí kāi mǔ niú 。

“Now therefore take and prepare yourselves a new cart and two milk cows on which there has come no yoke; and tie the cows to the cart, and bring their calves home from them;

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。

bǎ yē hé huá de yuē guì fàng zài chē shàng ， jiāng suǒ xiàn péi zuì de jīn wù zhuāng zài xiá zǐ lǐ ， fàng zài guì páng ， jiāng guì sòng qù 。

and take the LORD’s ark and lay it on the cart. Put the jewels of gold, which you return him for a trespass offering, in a box by its side; and send it away, that it may go.

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。」

nǐ men yào kàn kàn ： chē ruò zhí xíng yǐ sè liè de jìng jiè dào bó · shì mài qù ， zhè dà zāi jiù shì yē hé huá jiàng zài wǒ men shēn shàng de ； ruò bù rán ， biàn kě yǐ zhī dào bú shì tā de shǒu jī dǎ wǒ men ， shì wǒ men ǒu rán yù jiàn de 。」

Behold, if it goes up by the way of its own border to Beth Shemesh, then he has done us this great evil; but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that struck us. It was a chance that happened to us.”

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，

fēi lì shì rén jiù zhè yàng xíng ： jiāng liǎng zhǐ yǒu rǔ de mǔ niú tào zài chē shàng ， jiāng niú dú guān zài jiā lǐ ，

The men did so, and took two milk cows and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.

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。

bǎ yē hé huá de yuē guì hé zhuāng jīn lǎo shǔ bìng jīn zhì chuāng xiàng de xiá zǐ dōu fàng zài chē shàng 。

They put the LORD’s ark on the cart, and the box with the golden mice and the images of their tumors.

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。

niú zhí xíng dà dào ， wǎng bó · shì mài qù ， yí miàn zǒu yí miàn jiào ， bù piān zuǒ yòu 。 fēi lì shì de shǒu lǐng gēn zài hòu miàn ， zhí dào bó · shì mài de jìng jiè 。

The cows took the straight way by the way to Beth Shemesh. They went along the highway, lowing as they went, and didn’t turn away to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them to the border of Beth Shemesh.

伯·示麦人正在平原收割麦子，举目看见约柜，就欢喜了。

bó · shì mài rén zhèng zài píng yuán shōu gē mài zi ， jǔ mù kàn jiàn yuē guì ， jiù huān xǐ le 。

The people of Beth Shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.

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。

chē dào le bó · shì mài rén yuē shū yà de tián jiān ， jiù zhàn zhù le 。 zài nà lǐ yǒu yí kuài dà pán shí ， tā men bǎ chē pī le ， jiāng liǎng zhī mǔ niú xiàn gěi yē hé huá wèi fán jì 。

The cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh, and stood there, where there was a great stone. Then they split the wood of the cart and offered up the cows for a burnt offering to the LORD.

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。

lì wèi rén jiāng yē hé huá de yuē guì hé zhuāng jīn wù de xiá zǐ ná xià lái ， fàng zài dà pán shí shàng 。 dāng rì bó · shì mài rén jiāng fán jì hé píng ān jì xiàn gěi yē hé huá 。

The Levites took down the LORD’s ark and the box that was with it, in which the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone; and the men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to the LORD.

非利士人的五个首领看见，当日就回以革伦去了。

fēi lì shì rén de wǔ gè shǒu lǐng kàn jiàn ， dāng rì jiù huí yǐ gé lún qù le 。

When the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.

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。

fēi lì shì rén xiàn gěi yē hé huá zuò péi zuì de jīn zhì chuāng xiàng ， jiù shì zhè xiē ： yí gè shì wèi yà shí tū ， yí gè shì wèi jiā sà ， yí gè shì wèi yà shí jī lún ， yí gè shì wèi jiā tè ， yí gè shì wèi yǐ gé lún 。

These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering to the LORD: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;

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。

jīn lǎo shǔ de shù mù shì zhào fēi lì shì wǔ gè shǒu lǐng de chéng yì ， jiù shì jiān gù de chéng yì hé xiāng cūn ， yǐ jí dà pán shí 。 zhè pán shí shì fàng yē hé huá yuē guì de ， dào jīn rì hái zài bó · shì mài rén yuē shū yà de tián jiān 。

and the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fortified cities and of country villages, even to the great stone on which they set down the LORD’s ark. That stone remains to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.

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。

yē hé huá yīn bó · shì mài rén shàn guān tā de yuē guì ， jiù jī shā le tā men qī shí rén ； nà shí yǒu wǔ wàn rén zài nà lǐ 。 bǎi xìng yīn yē hé huá dà dà jī shā tā men ， jiù āi kū le 。

He struck of the men of Beth Shemesh, because they had looked into the LORD’s ark, he struck fifty thousand seventy of the men. Then the people mourned, because the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter.

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？」

bó · shì mài rén shuō ：「 shuí néng zài yē hé huá zhè shèng jié de shén miàn qián shì lì ne ？ zhè yuē guì kě yǐ cóng wǒ men zhè lǐ sòng dào shuí nà lǐ qù ne ？」

The men of Beth Shemesh said, “Who is able to stand before the LORD, this holy God? To whom shall he go up from us?”

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！」

yú shì dǎ fā rén qù jiàn jī liè · yē lín de jū mín ， shuō ：「 fēi lì shì rén jiāng yē hé huá de yuē guì sòng huí lái le ， nǐ men xià lái jiāng yuē guì jiē dào nǐ men nà lǐ qù ba ！」

They sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim, saying, “The Philistines have brought back the LORD’s ark. Come down and bring it up to yourselves.”
