历代志上 21

撒但起来攻击以色列人，激动大卫数点他们。

sā dàn qǐ lái gōng jī yǐ sè liè rén ， jī dòng dà wèi shù diǎn tā men 。

Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to take a census of Israel.

大卫就吩咐约押和民中的首领说：「你们去数点以色列人，从别是巴直到但，回来告诉我，我好知道他们的数目。」

dà wèi jiù fēn fù yuē yā hé mín zhōng de shǒu lǐng shuō ：「 nǐ men qù shù diǎn yǐ sè liè rén ， cóng bié shì bā zhí dào dàn ， huí lái gào sù wǒ ， wǒ hǎo zhī dào tā men de shù mù 。」

David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, “Go, count Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know how many there are.”

约押说：「愿耶和华使他的百姓比现在加增百倍。我主我王啊，他们不都是你的仆人吗？我主为何吩咐行这事，为何使以色列人陷在罪里呢？」

yuē yā shuō ：「 yuàn yē hé huá shǐ tā de bǎi xìng bǐ xiàn zài jiā zēng bǎi bèi 。 wǒ zhǔ wǒ wáng a ， tā men bù dōu shì nǐ de pú rén ma ？ wǒ zhǔ wèi hé fēn fù xíng zhè shì ， wèi hé shǐ yǐ sè liè rén xiàn zài zuì lǐ ne ？」

Joab said, “May the LORD make his people a hundred times as many as they are. But, my lord the king, aren’t they all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?”

但王的命令胜过约押。约押就出去，走遍以色列地，回到耶路撒冷，

dàn wáng de mìng lìng shèng guò yuē yā 。 yuē yā jiù chū qù ， zǒu biàn yǐ sè liè dì ， huí dào yē lù sā lěng ，

Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel, then came to Jerusalem.

将百姓的总数奏告大卫：以色列人拿刀的有一百一十万；犹大人拿刀的有四十七万。

jiāng bǎi xìng de zǒng shù zòu gào dà wèi ： yǐ sè liè rén ná dāo de yǒu yì bǎi yī shí wàn ； yóu dà rén ná dāo de yǒu sì shí qī wàn 。

Joab gave the sum of the census of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew a sword; and in Judah were four hundred seventy thousand men who drew a sword.

惟有利未人和便雅悯人没有数在其中，因为约押厌恶王的这命令。

wéi yǒu lì wèi rén hé biàn yǎ mǐn rén méi yǒu shù zài qí zhōng ， yīn wèi yuē yā yàn wù wáng de zhè mìng lìng 。

But he didn’t count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.

神不喜悦这数点百姓的事，便降灾给以色列人。

shén bù xǐ yuè zhè shù diǎn bǎi xìng de shì ， biàn jiàng zāi gěi yǐ sè liè rén 。

God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel.

大卫祷告 神说：「我行这事大有罪了！现在求你除掉仆人的罪孽，因我所行的甚是愚昧。」

dà wèi dǎo gào shén shuō ：「 wǒ xíng zhè shì dà yǒu zuì le ！ xiàn zài qiú nǐ chú diào pú rén de zuì niè ， yīn wǒ suǒ xíng de shèn shì yú mèi 。」

David said to God, “I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant, for I have done very foolishly.”

耶和华吩咐大卫的先见迦得说：

yē hé huá fēn fù dà wèi de xiān jiàn jiā dé shuō ：

The LORD spoke to 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, saying, ‘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：「耶和华如此说：『你可以随意选择：

yú shì ， jiā dé lái jiàn dà wèi ， duì tā shuō ：「 yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō ：『 nǐ kě yǐ suí yì xuǎn zé ：

So Gad came to David and said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Take your choice:

或三年的饥荒；或败在你敌人面前，被敌人的刀追杀三个月；或在你国中有耶和华的刀，就是三日的瘟疫，耶和华的使者在以色列的四境施行毁灭。』现在你要想一想，我好回复那差我来的。」

huò sān nián de jī huāng ； huò bài zài nǐ dí rén miàn qián ， bèi dí rén de dāo zhuī shā sān gè yuè ； huò zài nǐ guó zhōng yǒu yē hé huá de dāo ， jiù shì sān rì de wēn yì ， yē hé huá de shǐ zhě zài yǐ sè liè de sì jìng shī xíng huǐ miè 。』 xiàn zài nǐ yào xiǎng yi xiǎng ， wǒ hǎo huí fù nà chà wǒ lái de 。」

either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days of the sword of the LORD, even pestilence in the land, and the LORD’s angel destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore 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 me fall, I pray, into the LORD’s hand, for his mercies are very great. Don’t let me fall into man’s hand.”

于是，耶和华降瘟疫与以色列人，以色列人就死了七万。

yú shì ， yē hé huá jiàng wēn yì yǔ yǐ sè liè rén ， yǐ sè liè rén jiù sǐ le qī wàn 。

So the LORD sent a pestilence on Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.

神差遣使者去灭耶路撒冷，刚要灭的时候，耶和华看见后悔，就不降这灾了，吩咐灭城的天使说：「够了，住手吧！」那时，耶和华的使者站在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场那里。

shén chāi qiǎn shǐ zhě qù miè yē lù sā lěng ， gāng yào miè de shí hòu ， yē hé huá kàn jiàn hòu huǐ ， jiù bú jiàng zhè zāi le ， fēn fù miè chéng de tiān shǐ shuō ：「 gòu le ， zhù shǒu ba ！」 nà shí ， yē hé huá de shǐ zhě zhàn zài yē bù sī rén ā ěr nán de hé chǎng nà lǐ 。

God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy, the LORD saw, and he relented of the disaster, and said to the destroying angel, “It is enough. Now withdraw your hand.” the LORD’s angel was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

大卫举目，看见耶和华的使者站在天地间，手里有拔出来的刀，伸在耶路撒冷以上。大卫和长老都身穿麻衣，面伏于地。

dà wèi jǔ mù ， kàn jiàn yē hé huá de shǐ zhě zhàn zài tiān dì jiān ， shǒu lǐ yǒu bá chū lái de dāo ， shēn zài yē lù sā lěng yǐ shàng 。 dà wèi hé zhǎng lǎo dōu shēn chuān má yī ， miàn fú yú dì 。

David lifted up his eyes, and saw the LORD’s angel standing between earth and the sky, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.

大卫祷告 神说：「吩咐数点百姓的不是我吗？我犯了罪，行了恶，但这群羊做了什么呢？愿耶和华—我 神的手攻击我和我的父家，不要攻击你的民，降瘟疫与他们。」

dà wèi dǎo gào shén shuō ：「 fēn fù shù diǎn bǎi xìng de bú shì wǒ ma ？ wǒ fàn le zuì ， xíng le è ， dàn zhè qún yáng zuò le shén me ne ？ yuàn yē hé huá — wǒ shén de shǒu gōng jī wǒ hé wǒ de fù jiā ， bú yào gōng jī nǐ de mín ， jiàng wēn yì yǔ tā men 。」

David said to God, “Isn’t it I who commanded the people to be counted? It is even I who have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, O LORD my God, be against me and against my father’s house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued.”

耶和华的使者吩咐迦得去告诉大卫，叫他上去，在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场上为耶和华筑一座坛；

yē hé huá de shǐ zhě fēn fù jiā dé qù gào sù dà wèi ， jiào tā shàng qù ， zài yē bù sī rén ā ěr nán de hé chǎng shàng wèi yē hé huá zhù yí zuò tán ；

Then the LORD’s angel commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up and raise an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan 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 at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the LORD’s name.

那时阿珥楠正打麦子，回头看见天使，就和他四个儿子都藏起来了。

nà shí ā ěr nán zhèng dǎ mài zi ， huí tóu kàn jiàn tiān shǐ ， jiù hé tā sì gè ér zi dōu cáng qǐ lái le 。

Ornan turned back and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.

大卫到了阿珥楠那里，阿珥楠看见大卫，就从禾场上出去，脸伏于地，向他下拜。

dà wèi dào le ā ěr nán nà lǐ ， ā ěr nán kàn jiàn dà wèi ， jiù cóng hé chǎng shàng chū qù ， liǎn fú yú dì ， xiàng tā xià bài 。

As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.

大卫对阿珥楠说：「你将这禾场与相连之地卖给我，我必给你足价，我好在其上为耶和华筑一座坛，使民间的瘟疫止住。」

dà wèi duì ā ěr nán shuō ：「 nǐ jiāng zhè hé chǎng yǔ xiāng lián zhī dì mài gěi wǒ ， wǒ bì gěi nǐ zú jià ， wǒ hǎo zài qí shàng wèi yē hé huá zhù yí zuò tán ， shǐ mín jiān de wēn yì zhǐ zhù 。」

Then David said to Ornan, “Sell me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar to the LORD on it. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.”

阿珥楠对大卫说：「你可以用这禾场，愿我主我王照你所喜悦的去行。我也将牛给你作燔祭，把打粮的器具当柴烧，拿麦子作素祭。这些我都送给你。」

ā ěr nán duì dà wèi shuō ：「 nǐ kě yǐ yòng zhè hé chǎng ， yuàn wǒ zhǔ wǒ wáng zhào nǐ suǒ xǐ yuè de qù xíng 。 wǒ yě jiāng niú gěi nǐ zuò fán jì ， bǎ dǎ liáng de qì jù dāng chái shāo ， ná mài zi zuò sù jì 。 zhè xiē wǒ dōu sòng gěi nǐ 。」

Ornan said to David, “Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Behold, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all.”

大卫王对阿珥楠说：「不然！我必要用足价向你买。我不用你的物献给耶和华，也不用白得之物献为燔祭。」

dà wèi wáng duì ā ěr nán shuō ：「 bù rán ！ wǒ bì yào yòng zú jià xiàng nǐ mǎi 。 wǒ bú yòng nǐ de wù xiàn gěi yē hé huá ， yě bú yòng bái dé zhī wù xiàn wèi fán jì 。」

King David said to Ornan, “No, but I will most certainly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is yours for the LORD, nor offer a burnt offering that costs me nothing.”

于是大卫为那块地平了六百舍客勒金子给阿珥楠。

yú shì dà wèi wèi nà kuài dì píng le liù bǎi shè kè lè jīn zǐ gěi ā ěr nán 。

So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.

大卫在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛，献燔祭和平安祭，求告耶和华。耶和华就应允他，使火从天降在燔祭坛上。

dà wèi zài nà lǐ wèi yē hé huá zhù le yí zuò tán ， xiàn fán jì hé píng ān jì ， qiú gào yē hé huá 。 yē hé huá jiù yīng yǔn tā ， shǐ huǒ cóng tiān jiàng zài fán jì tán shàng 。

David built an altar to the LORD there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on the LORD; and he answered him from the sky by fire on the altar of burnt offering.

耶和华吩咐使者，他就收刀入鞘。

yē hé huá fēn fù shǐ zhě ， tā jiù shōu dāo rù qiào 。

Then the LORD commanded the angel, and he put his sword back into its sheath.

那时，大卫见耶和华在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场上应允了他，就在那里献祭。

nà shí ， dà wèi jiàn yē hé huá zài yē bù sī rén ā ěr nán de hé chǎng shàng yīng yǔn le tā ， jiù zài nà lǐ xiàn jì 。

At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.

摩西在旷野所造之耶和华的帐幕和燔祭坛都在基遍的高处；

mó xī zài kuàng yě suǒ zào zhī yē hé huá de zhàng mù hé fán jì tán dōu zài jī biàn de gāo chù ；

For the LORD’s tabernacle, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.

只是大卫不敢前去求问 神，因为惧怕耶和华使者的刀。

zhī shì dà wèi bù gǎn qián qù qiú wèn shén ， yīn wèi jù pà yē hé huá shǐ zhě de dāo 。

But David couldn’t go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid because of the sword of the LORD’s angel.
