歷代志上 1 Chronicles

21:1	[hb5]	撒但起來攻擊以色列人、激動大衛數點他們。
	[kjv]	And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
	[bbe]	Now Satan, designing evil against Israel, put into David's mind the impulse to take the number of Israel.
21:2	[hb5]	大衛就吩咐約押、和民中的首領、說、你們去數點以色列人、從別是巴直到但、回來告訴我、我好知道他們的數目。
	[kjv]	And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.
	[bbe]	And David said to Joab and the captains of the people, Now let all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, be numbered; and give me word so that I may be certain of their number.
21:3	[hb5]	約押說、願耶和華使他的百姓比現在加增百倍。我主我王阿、他們不都是你的僕人麼．我主為何吩咐行這事、為何使以色列人陷在罪裡呢。
	[kjv]	And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?
	[bbe]	And Joab said, May the Lord make his people a hundred times more in number than they are; but, my lord king, are they not all my lord's servants? why would my lord have this done? why will he become a cause of sin to Israel?
21:4	[hb5]	但王的命令勝過約押。約押就出去、走遍以色列地、回到耶路撒冷、
	[kjv]	Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
	[bbe]	But the king's word was stronger than Joab's. So Joab went out and went through all Israel and came to Jerusalem.
21:5	[hb5]	將百姓的總數奏告大衛。以色列人拿刀的、有一百一十萬．猶大人拿刀的、有四十七萬。
	[kjv]	And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.
	[bbe]	And Joab gave David the number of all the people; all the men of Israel, able to take up arms, were one million, one hundred thousand men; and those of Judah were four hundred and seventy thousand men, able to take up arms.
21:6	[hb5]	惟有利未人和便雅憫人沒有數在其中．因為約押厭惡王的這命令。
	[kjv]	But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
	[bbe]	But Levi and Benjamin were not numbered among them, for Joab was disgusted with the king's order.
21:7	[hb5]	神不喜悅這數點百姓的事、便降災給以色列人。
	[kjv]	And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.
	[bbe]	And God was not pleased with this thing; so he sent punishment on Israel.
21:8	[hb5]	大衛禱告　神說、我行這事大有罪了．現在求你除掉僕人的罪孽．因我所行的甚是愚昧。
	[kjv]	And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
	[bbe]	Then David said to God, Great has been my sin in doing this; but now, be pleased to take away the sin of your servant, for I have done very foolishly.
21:9	[hb5]	耶和華吩咐大衛的先見迦得說、
	[kjv]	And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,
	[bbe]	Then the word of the Lord came to Gad, David's seer, saying,
21:10	[hb5]	你去告訴大衛說、耶和華如此說、我有三樣災、隨你選擇一樣、我好降與你。
	[kjv]	Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
	[bbe]	Go and say to David, The Lord says, Three things are offered to you: say which of them you will have, so that I may do it to you.
21:11	[hb5]	於是迦得來見大衛、對他說、耶和華如此說、你可以隨意選擇．
	[kjv]	So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee
	[bbe]	So Gad came to David and said to him, The Lord says, Take whichever you will:
21:12	[hb5]	或三年的饑荒、或敗在你敵人面前、被敵人的刀追殺三個月、或在你國中有耶和華的刀、就是三日的瘟疫、耶和華的使者在以色列的四境施行毀滅。現在你要想一想、我好回覆那差我來的。
	[kjv]	Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
	[bbe]	Three years when there will not be enough food; or three months of war, when you will go in flight before your haters, being in great danger of the sword; or three days of the sword of the Lord, disease in the land, and the angel of the Lord taking destruction through all the land of Israel. Now give thought to the answer I am to take back to him who sent me.
21:13	[hb5]	大衛對迦得說、我甚為難．我願落在耶和華的手裡、因為他有豐盛的憐憫．我不願落在人的手裡。
	[kjv]	And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.
	[bbe]	And David said to Gad, This is a hard decision for me to make: let me come into the hands of the Lord, for great are his mercies: let me not come into the hands of men.
21:14	[hb5]	於是耶和華降瘟疫與以色列人．以色列人就死了七萬。
	[kjv]	So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
	[bbe]	So the Lord sent disease on Israel, causing the death of seventy thousand men.
21:15	[hb5]	神差遣使者去滅耶路撒冷．剛要滅的時候、耶和華看見後悔、就不降這災了、吩咐滅城的天使說、夠了、住手罷。那時耶和華的使者站在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾場那裡。
	[kjv]	And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
	[bbe]	And God sent an angel to Jerusalem for its destruction: and when he was about to do so, the Lord saw, and had regret for the evil, and said to the angel of destruction, It is enough; do no more. Now the angel of the Lord was by the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
21:16	[hb5]	大衛舉目、看見耶和華的使者站在天地間、手裡有拔出來的刀、伸在耶路撒冷以上。大衛和長老都身穿麻衣、面伏於地。
	[kjv]	And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
	[bbe]	And David, lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord there between earth and heaven, with an uncovered sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the responsible men, clothed in haircloth, went down on their faces.
21:17	[hb5]	大衛禱告　神說、吩咐數點百姓的不是我麼．我犯了罪、行了惡．但這群羊作了甚麼呢．願耶和華我　神的手攻擊我、和我的父家．不要攻擊你的民、降瘟疫與他們。
	[kjv]	And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.
	[bbe]	And David said to God, Was it not I who gave the order for the people to be numbered? It is I who have done the sin and the great wrong; but these are only sheep; what have they done? let your hand, O Lord God, be lifted up against me and against my family, but not against your people to send disease on them.
21:18	[hb5]	耶和華的使者吩咐迦得去告訴大衛、叫他上去、在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾場上、為耶和華築一座壇。
	[kjv]	Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
	[bbe]	Then the angel of the Lord gave orders to Gad to say to David that he was to go and put up an altar to the Lord on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
21:19	[hb5]	大衛就照著迦得奉耶和華名所說的話上去了。
	[kjv]	And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of the LORD.
	[bbe]	And David went up, as Gad had said in the name of the Lord.
21:20	[hb5]	那時阿珥楠正打麥子．回頭看見天使、就和他四個兒子都藏起來了。
	[kjv]	And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
	[bbe]	And Ornan, turning back, saw the angel, and his four sons who were with him went to a secret place. Now Ornan was crushing his grain.
21:21	[hb5]	大衛到了阿珥楠那裡、阿珥楠看見大衛、就從禾場上出去、臉伏於地、向他下拜。
	[kjv]	And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
	[bbe]	And when David came, Ornan, looking, saw him, and came out from the grain-floor and went down on his face to the earth before him.
21:22	[hb5]	大衛對阿珥楠說、你將這禾場與相連之地賣給我．我必給你足價、我好在其上為耶和華築一座壇、使民間的瘟疫止住。
	[kjv]	Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.
	[bbe]	Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place where this grain-floor is, so that I may put up an altar here to the Lord: let me have it for its full price; so that this disease may be stopped among the people.
21:23	[hb5]	阿珥楠對大衛說、你可以用這禾場、願我主我王照你所喜悅的去行．我也將牛給你作燔祭、把打糧的器具當柴燒、拿麥子作素祭．這些我都送給你。
	[kjv]	And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all.
	[bbe]	And Ornan said to David, Take it, and let my lord the king do what seems right to him. See, I give you the oxen for burned offerings and the grain-cleaning instruments for fire-wood, and the grain for the meal offering; I give it all.
21:24	[hb5]	大衛王對阿珥楠說、不然、我必要用足價向你買．我不用你的物獻給耶和華、也不用白得之物獻為燔祭。
	[kjv]	And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.
	[bbe]	And King David said to Ornan, No; I will certainly give you the full price for it, because I will not take for the Lord what is yours, or give a burned offering without payment.
21:25	[hb5]	於是大衛為那塊地平了六百舍客勒金子給阿珥楠。
	[kjv]	So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
	[bbe]	So David gave Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
21:26	[hb5]	大衛在那裡為耶和華築了一座壇、獻燔祭和平安祭、求告耶和華．耶和華就應允他、使火從天降在燔祭壇上。
	[kjv]	And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.
	[bbe]	And David put up an altar there to the Lord, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings with prayers to the Lord; and he gave him an answer from heaven, sending fire on the altar of burned offering.
21:27	[hb5]	耶和華吩咐使者、他就收刀入鞘。
	[kjv]	And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.
	[bbe]	Then the Lord gave orders to the angel, and he put back his sword into its cover.
21:28	[hb5]	那時大衛見耶和華在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾場上應允了他、就在那裡獻祭。
	[kjv]	At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
	[bbe]	At that time, when David saw that the Lord had given him an answer on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he made an offering there.
21:29	[hb5]	摩西在曠野所造之耶和華的帳幕和燔祭壇都在基遍的高處。
	[kjv]	For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon.
	[bbe]	For the House of the Lord, which Moses had made in the waste land, and the altar of burned offerings, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
21:30	[hb5]	只是大衛不敢前去求問　神．因為懼怕耶和華使者的刀。
	[kjv]	But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
	[bbe]	But David was not able to go before it to get directions from the Lord, so great was his fear of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
21:31	[hb5]	大衛說、這就是耶和華　神的殿、為以色列人獻燔祭的壇。
