歷代志上 21:17

大衛禱告上帝說：「吩咐數點百姓的不是我嗎？我犯了罪，行了惡，但這群羊做了甚麼呢？願耶和華－我上帝的手攻擊我和我的父家，不要攻擊你的民，降瘟疫與他們。」

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.”
