2 Samuel 24

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。

yē hé huá yòu xiàng yǐ sè liè rén fā nù ， jiù jī dòng dà wèi ， shǐ tā fēn fù rén qù shù diǎn yǐ sè liè rén hé yóu dà rén 。

Again the LORD’s anger burned against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, “Go, count Israel and Judah.”

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。」

dà wèi jiù fēn fù gēn suí tā de yuán shuài yuē yā shuō ：「 nǐ qù zǒu biàn yǐ sè liè zhòng zhī pài ， cóng dàn zhí dào bié shì bā ， shù diǎn bǎi xìng ， wǒ hǎo zhī dào tā men de shù mù 。」

The king said to Joab the captain of the army, who was with him, “Now go back and forth through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and count the people, that I may know the sum of the people.”

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？」

yuē yā duì wáng shuō ：「 wú lùn bǎi xìng duō shǎo ， yuàn yē hé huá — nǐ de shén zài jiā zēng bǎi bèi ， shǐ wǒ zhǔ wǒ wáng qīn yǎn dé jiàn 。 wǒ zhǔ wǒ wáng hé bì xǐ yuè xíng zhè shì ne ？」

Joab said to the king, “Now may the LORD your God add to the people, however many they may be, one hundred times; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king delight in this thing?”

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。

dàn wáng de mìng lìng shèng guò yuē yā hé zhòng jūn cháng 。 yuē yā hé zhòng jūn zhǎng jiù cóng wáng miàn qián chū qù ， shù diǎn yǐ sè liè de bǎi xìng 。

Notwithstanding, the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the captains of the army. Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel.

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，

tā men guò le yuē dàn hé ， zài jiā dé gǔ zhōng 、 chéng de yòu biān yà luó ěr ān yíng ， yǔ yǎ xiè xiāng duì ，

They passed over the Jordan and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and to Jazer;

又到了基列和他停·合示地，又到了但·雅安，绕到西顿，

yòu dào le jī liè hé tā tíng · hé shì dì ， yòu dào le dàn · yǎ ān ， rào dào xī dùn ，

then they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; and they came to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon,

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。

lái dào tài ěr de bǎo zhàng ， bìng xī wèi rén hé jiā nán rén de gè chéng ， yòu dào yóu dà nán fāng de bié shì bā 。

and 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 Beersheba.

他们走遍全地，过了九个月零二十天，就回到耶路撒冷。

tā men zǒu biàn quán dì ， guò le jiǔ gè yuè líng èr shí tiān ， jiù huí dào yē lù sā lěng 。

So when they had gone back and forth through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

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。

yuē yā jiāng bǎi xìng de zǒng shù zòu gào yú wáng ： yǐ sè liè ná dāo de yǒng shì yǒu bā shí wàn ； yóu dà yǒu wǔ shí wàn 。

Joab gave up the sum of the counting of the people to the king; and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.

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。」

dà wèi shù diǎn bǎi xìng yǐ hòu ， jiù xīn zhōng zì zé ， dǎo gào yē hé huá shuō ：「 wǒ xíng zhè shì dà yǒu zuì le 。 yē hé huá a ， qiú nǐ chú diào pú rén de zuì niè ， yīn wǒ suǒ xíng de shèn shì yú mèi 。」

David’s heart struck him after he had counted the people. David said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in that which I have done. But now, the LORD, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.”

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：

dà wèi zǎo chén qǐ lái ， yē hé huá de huà lín dào xiān zhī jiā dé ， jiù shì dà wèi de xiān jiàn ， shuō ：

When David rose up in the morning, the LORD’s word came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,

「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。』」

「 nǐ qù gào sù dà wèi ， shuō yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō ：『 wǒ yǒu sān yàng zāi ， suí nǐ xuǎn zé yí yàng ， wǒ hǎo jiàng yǔ nǐ 。』」

“Go and speak to David, ‘The LORD says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”

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。」

yú shì jiā dé lái jiàn dà wèi ， duì tā shuō ：「 nǐ yuàn yì guó zhōng yǒu qī nián de jī huāng ne ？ shì zài nǐ dí rén miàn qián táo pǎo ， bèi zhuī gǎn sān gè yuè ne ？ shì zài nǐ guó zhōng yǒu sān rì de wēn yì ne ？ xiàn zài nǐ yào chuāi mó sī xiǎng ， wǒ hǎo huí fù nà chà wǒ lái de 。」

So Gad came to David, and told him, saying, “Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ pestilence in your land? Now answer, and consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.”

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。」

dà wèi duì jiā dé shuō ：「 wǒ shèn wéi nán ！ wǒ yuàn luò zài yē hé huá de shǒu lǐ ， yīn wèi tā yǒu fēng shèng de lián mǐn 。 wǒ bú yuàn luò zài rén de shǒu lǐ 。」

David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let us fall now into the LORD’s hand, for his mercies are great. Let me not fall into man’s hand.”

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。

yú shì ， yē hé huá jiàng wēn yì yǔ yǐ sè liè rén ， zì zǎo chén dào suǒ dìng de shí hòu ； cóng dàn zhí dào bié shì bā ， mín jiān sǐ le qī wàn rén 。

So the LORD sent a pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the appointed time; and seventy thousand men died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba.

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。

tiān shǐ xiàng yē lù sā lěng shēn shǒu yào miè chéng de shí hòu ， yē hé huá hòu huǐ ， jiù bú jiàng zhè zāi le ， fēn fù miè mín de tiān shǐ shuō ：「 gòu le ！ zhù shǒu ba ！」 nà shí yē hé huá de shǐ zhě zài yē bù sī rén yà láo ná de hé chǎng nà lǐ 。

When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, “It is enough. Now withdraw your hand.” The LORD’s angel was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

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。」

dà wèi kàn jiàn miè mín de tiān shǐ ， jiù dǎo gào yē hé huá shuō ：「 wǒ fàn le zuì ， xíng le è ； dàn zhè qún yáng zuò le shén me ne ？ yuàn nǐ de shǒu gōng jī wǒ hé wǒ de fù jiā 。」

David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, “Behold, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me, and against my father’s house.”

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。」

dāng rì ， jiā dé lái jiàn dà wèi ， duì tā shuō ：「 nǐ shàng qù ， zài yē bù sī rén yà láo ná de hé chǎng shàng wèi yē hé huá zhù yí zuò tán 。」

Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up, build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”

大卫就照着迦得奉耶和华名所说的话上去了。

dà wèi jiù zhào zhe jiā dé fèng yē hé huá míng suǒ shuō de huà shàng qù le 。

David went up according to the saying of Gad, as the LORD commanded.

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，

yà láo ná guān kàn ， jiàn wáng hé tā chén pú qián lái ， jiù yíng jiē chū qù ， liǎn fú yú dì ， xiàng wáng xià bài ，

Araunah looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him. Then Araunah went out and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

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。」

shuō ：「 wǒ zhǔ wǒ wáng wèi hé lái dào pú rén zhè lǐ ne ？」 dà wèi shuō ：「 wǒ yào mǎi nǐ zhè hé chǎng ， wèi yē hé huá zhù yí zuò tán ， shǐ mín jiān de wēn yì zhǐ zhù 。」

Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” David said, “To buy your threshing floor, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.”

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。

yà láo ná duì dà wèi shuō ：「 wǒ zhǔ wǒ wáng ， nǐ xǐ yuè yòng shén me ， jiù ná qù xiàn jì 。 kàn nǎ ， zhè lǐ yǒu niú kě yǐ zuò fán jì ， yǒu dǎ liáng de qì jù hé tào niú de è kě yǐ dāng chái shāo 。

Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Behold, the cattle for the burnt offering, and the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood.

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。」

wáng a ， zhè yí qiè ， wǒ yà láo ná dōu fèng gěi nǐ 」； yòu duì wáng shuō ：「 yuàn yē hé huá — nǐ de shén yuè nà nǐ 。」

All this, O king, does Araunah give to the king.” Araunah said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.”

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。

wáng duì yà láo ná shuō ：「 bù rán 。 wǒ bì yào àn zhe jià zhí xiàng nǐ mǎi ； wǒ bù kěn yòng bái dé zhī wù zuò fán jì xiàn gěi yē hé huá — wǒ de shén 。」 dà wèi jiù yòng wǔ shí shè kè lè yín zi mǎi le nà hé chǎng yǔ niú 。

The king said to Araunah, “No, but I will most certainly buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

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。

dà wèi zài nà lǐ wèi yē hé huá zhù le yí zuò tán ， xiàn fán jì hé píng ān jì 。 rú cǐ ， yē hé huá chuí tīng guó mín suǒ qiú de ， wēn yì zài yǐ sè liè rén zhōng jiù zhǐ zhù le 。

David built an altar to the LORD there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was entreated for the land, and the plague was removed from Israel.
