撒母耳記上

第6章

1 耶和華的約櫃在非利士人之地七個月。

2 非利士人將祭司和占卜的聚了來,問他們說:「我們向耶和華的約櫃應當怎樣行?請指示我們用何法將約櫃送回原處。」

3 他們說:「若要將以色列神的約櫃送回去,不可空空地送去,卻總要[but in any wise]給他獻贖愆祭[trespass offering],然後你們可得痊癒,並知道他的手為何不離開你們。」

4 非利士人說:「應當用甚麼獻為贖愆祭[trespass offering]呢?」他們回答說:「當照非利士首領的數目,用五個金痔瘡,五個金老鼠,因為在你們眾人和你們首領的身上都是一樣的災。

5 所以當製造你們痔瘡的像和毀壞你們[land]老鼠的像;並你們[ye]要歸榮耀給以色列的神。或者他向你們和你們的眾神,並你們的[land],把手放輕些。

6 你們為何硬著心像埃及人和法老一樣呢?神在埃及人中間行奇事,埃及人豈不釋放以色列人,他們就去了嗎?

7 現在你們應當造一輛新車,將兩隻未曾負軛有乳的母牛套在車上,使牛犢回家去,離開母牛。

8 把耶和華的約櫃放在車上,將所獻贖愆祭[trespass offering]的金物裝在匣子裏,放在櫃旁,將櫃送去。

9 你們要看看:車若直行以色列的境界到伯.示麥去,這大災就是耶和華降在我們身上的;倘若[but if]不然,我們便[then we]知道不是他的手擊打我們,是我們偶然遇見的。」

10 非利士人就這樣行:將兩隻有乳的母牛套在車上,將牛犢關在家裏,

11 把耶和華的約櫃和裝金老鼠並金痔瘡像的匣子都放在車上。

12 母牛[kine]直行大道,往伯.示麥去,一面走一面叫,不偏左右。非利士的首領跟在後面,直到伯.示麥的境界。

13 伯.示麥人正在谷地[valley]收割麥子,舉目看見約櫃,就歡喜了。

14 車到了伯.示麥人約書亞的田間,就站住了。在那裏有一塊大石頭[stone],他們把車劈了,將兩隻母牛獻給耶和華為燔祭。

15 利未人將耶和華的約櫃和裝金物的匣子拿下來,放在大石頭[stone]上;當日伯.示麥人將燔祭和別的祭[sacrifices]獻給耶和華。

16 非利士人的五個首領看見,當日就回以革倫去了。

17 非利士人獻給耶和華作贖愆祭[trespass offering]的金痔瘡像,就是這些:一個是為亞實突,一個是為迦薩,一個是為亞實基倫,一個是為迦特,一個是為以革倫。

18 金老鼠的數目是照非利士五個首領的城邑,就是堅固的城邑和鄉村,以及亞比拉的[of Abel]石頭[stone]。這石頭[stone]是放耶和華約櫃的,到今日還在伯.示麥人約書亞的田間。

19 耶和華因伯.示麥人擅觀他的約櫃,就擊殺了他們五萬零七十人[fifty thousand and threescore and ten men]。百姓因耶和華大大擊殺他們,就哀哭了。

20 伯.示麥人說:「誰能在耶和華這聖潔的神面前侍立呢?這約櫃可以從我們這裏送到誰那裏去呢?」

21 於是打發人去見基列.耶琳的居民,說:「非利士人將耶和華的約櫃送回來了,你們下來將約櫃接到你們那裏去吧。」

Chapter 6

1 And the ark727 of the LORD3068 was in the country7704 of the Philistines6430 seven7651 months.2320

2 And the Philistines6430 called7121 for the priests3548 and the diviners,7080 saying,559 What4100 shall we do6213 to the ark727 of the LORD?3068 tell3045 us with which4100 we shall send7971 it to his place.4725

3 And they said,559 If518 you send7971 away the ark727 of the God430 of Israel,3478 send7971 it not empty;7387 but in any wise return7725 him a trespass817 offering: then227 you shall be healed,7495 and it shall be known3045 to you why4100 his hand3027 is not removed5493 from you.

4 Then said559 they, What4100 shall be the trespass817 offering which834 we shall return7725 to him? They answered,559 Five2568 golden2091 tumors,6076 and five2568 golden2091 mice,5909 according to the number4557 of the lords5633 of the Philistines:6430 for one259 plague4046 was on you all,3605 and on your lords.5633

5 Why you shall make6213 images6754 of your tumors,6076 and images6754 of your mice5909 that mar7843 the land;776 and you shall give5414 glory3519 to the God430 of Israel:3478 peradventure194 he will lighten7043 his hand3027 from off5921 you, and from off5921 your gods,430 and from off5921 your land.776

6 Why4100 then do you harden3513 your hearts,3824 as the Egyptians4714 and Pharaoh6547 hardened3513 their hearts?3820 when834 he had worked5953 wonderfully5953 among them, did they not let the people go,7971 and they departed?3212

7 Now6258 therefore make6213 a new2319 cart,5699 and take3947 two8147 milk5763 cows,6510 on5921 which834 there has come5927 no3808 yoke,5923 and tie631 the cows6510 to the cart,5699 and bring7725 their calves1121 home1004 from them:

8 And take3947 the ark727 of the LORD,3068 and lay5414 it on the cart;5699 and put7760 the jewels3627 of gold,2091 which834 you return7725 him for a trespass817 offering, in a coffer712 by the side6654 thereof; and send7971 it away, that it may go.1980

9 And see,7200 if518 it goes5927 up by the way1870 of his own coast1366 to Bethshemesh,1053 then he has done6213 us this2063 great1419 evil:7451 but if518 not, then we shall know3045 that it is not his hand3027 that smote5060 us: it was a chance4745 that happened1961 to us.

10 And the men582 did6213 so;3651 and took3947 two8147 milk5763 cows,6510 and tied631 them to the cart,5699 and shut3607 up their calves1121 at home:1004

11 And they laid7760 the ark727 of the LORD3068 on the cart,5699 and the coffer712 with the mice5909 of gold2091 and the images6754 of their tumors.2914

12 And the cows6510 took the straight3474 way1870 to the way1870 of Bethshemesh,1053 and went1980 along1980 the highway,4546 lowing1600 as they went,1980 and turned5493 not aside to the right3225 hand3225 or to the left;8040 and the lords5633 of the Philistines6430 went1980 after310 them to the border1366 of Bethshemesh.1053

13 And they of Bethshemesh1053 were reaping7114 their wheat2406 harvest7105 in the valley:6010 and they lifted5375 up their eyes,5869 and saw7200 the ark,727 and rejoiced8055 to see7200 it.

14 And the cart5699 came935 into413 the field7704 of Joshua,3091 a Bethshemite,1030 and stood5975 there,8033 where8033 there was a great1419 stone:68 and they split1234 the wood6086 of the cart,5699 and offered5927 the cows6510 a burnt5930 offering to the LORD.3068

15 And the Levites3881 took3381 down3381 the ark727 of the LORD,3068 and the coffer712 that was with it, wherein834 the jewels3627 of gold2091 were, and put7760 them on413 the great1419 stone:68 and the men582 of Bethshemesh1053 offered5927 burnt5930 offerings and sacrificed2076 sacrifices2077 the same1931 day3117 to the LORD.3068

16 And when the five2568 lords5633 of the Philistines6430 had seen7200 it, they returned7725 to Ekron6138 the same1931 day.3117

17 And these428 are the golden2091 tumors2914 which834 the Philistines6430 returned7725 for a trespass817 offering to the LORD;3068 for Ashdod795 one,259 for Gaza5804 one,259 for Askelon831 one,259 for Gath1661 one,259 for Ekron6138 one;259

18 And the golden2091 mice,5909 according to the number4557 of all3605 the cities5892 of the Philistines6430 belonging to the five2568 lords,5633 both of fenced4013 cities,5892 and of country6521 villages,3724 even to the great1419 stone of Abel,59 where on834 5921 they set3240 down the ark727 of the LORD:3068 which stone remains to this2088 day3117 in the field7704 of Joshua,3091 the Bethshemite.1030

19 And he smote the men376 of Bethshemesh,1053 because3588 they had looked7200 into the ark727 of the LORD,3068 even he smote5221 of the people5971 fifty2572 thousand505 and three score7657 and ten men:376 and the people5971 lamented,56 because3588 the LORD3068 had smitten5221 many of the people5971 with a great1419 slaughter.4347

20 And the men582 of Bethshemesh1053 said,559 Who4310 is able3201 to stand5975 before6440 this2088 holy6918 LORD3068 God?430 and to whom4310 shall he go5927 up from us?

21 And they sent7971 messengers4397 to the inhabitants3427 of Kirjathjearim,7157 saying,559 The Philistines6430 have brought7725 again7725 the ark727 of the LORD;3068 come3381 you down,3381 and fetch5927 it up to you.

Chapter 6

1 耶和華的約櫃在非利士人之地七個月。

1 And the ark727 of the LORD3068 was in the country7704 of the Philistines6430 seven7651 months.2320

2 非利士人將祭司和占卜的聚了來,問他們說:「我們向耶和華的約櫃應當怎樣行?請指示我們用何法將約櫃送回原處。」

2 And the Philistines6430 called7121 for the priests3548 and the diviners,7080 saying,559 What4100 shall we do6213 to the ark727 of the LORD?3068 tell3045 us with which4100 we shall send7971 it to his place.4725

3 他們說:「若要將以色列神的約櫃送回去,不可空空地送去,卻總要[but in any wise]給他獻贖愆祭[trespass offering],然後你們可得痊癒,並知道他的手為何不離開你們。」

3 And they said,559 If518 you send7971 away the ark727 of the God430 of Israel,3478 send7971 it not empty;7387 but in any wise return7725 him a trespass817 offering: then227 you shall be healed,7495 and it shall be known3045 to you why4100 his hand3027 is not removed5493 from you.

4 非利士人說:「應當用甚麼獻為贖愆祭[trespass offering]呢?」他們回答說:「當照非利士首領的數目,用五個金痔瘡,五個金老鼠,因為在你們眾人和你們首領的身上都是一樣的災。

4 Then said559 they, What4100 shall be the trespass817 offering which834 we shall return7725 to him? They answered,559 Five2568 golden2091 tumors,6076 and five2568 golden2091 mice,5909 according to the number4557 of the lords5633 of the Philistines:6430 for one259 plague4046 was on you all,3605 and on your lords.5633

5 所以當製造你們痔瘡的像和毀壞你們[land]老鼠的像;並你們[ye]要歸榮耀給以色列的神。或者他向你們和你們的眾神,並你們的[land],把手放輕些。

5 Why you shall make6213 images6754 of your tumors,6076 and images6754 of your mice5909 that mar7843 the land;776 and you shall give5414 glory3519 to the God430 of Israel:3478 peradventure194 he will lighten7043 his hand3027 from off5921 you, and from off5921 your gods,430 and from off5921 your land.776

6 你們為何硬著心像埃及人和法老一樣呢?神在埃及人中間行奇事,埃及人豈不釋放以色列人,他們就去了嗎?

6 Why4100 then do you harden3513 your hearts,3824 as the Egyptians4714 and Pharaoh6547 hardened3513 their hearts?3820 when834 he had worked5953 wonderfully5953 among them, did they not let the people go,7971 and they departed?3212

7 現在你們應當造一輛新車,將兩隻未曾負軛有乳的母牛套在車上,使牛犢回家去,離開母牛。

7 Now6258 therefore make6213 a new2319 cart,5699 and take3947 two8147 milk5763 cows,6510 on5921 which834 there has come5927 no3808 yoke,5923 and tie631 the cows6510 to the cart,5699 and bring7725 their calves1121 home1004 from them:

8 把耶和華的約櫃放在車上,將所獻贖愆祭[trespass offering]的金物裝在匣子裏,放在櫃旁,將櫃送去。

8 And take3947 the ark727 of the LORD,3068 and lay5414 it on the cart;5699 and put7760 the jewels3627 of gold,2091 which834 you return7725 him for a trespass817 offering, in a coffer712 by the side6654 thereof; and send7971 it away, that it may go.1980

9 你們要看看:車若直行以色列的境界到伯.示麥去,這大災就是耶和華降在我們身上的;倘若[but if]不然,我們便[then we]知道不是他的手擊打我們,是我們偶然遇見的。」

9 And see,7200 if518 it goes5927 up by the way1870 of his own coast1366 to Bethshemesh,1053 then he has done6213 us this2063 great1419 evil:7451 but if518 not, then we shall know3045 that it is not his hand3027 that smote5060 us: it was a chance4745 that happened1961 to us.

10 非利士人就這樣行:將兩隻有乳的母牛套在車上,將牛犢關在家裏,

10 And the men582 did6213 so;3651 and took3947 two8147 milk5763 cows,6510 and tied631 them to the cart,5699 and shut3607 up their calves1121 at home:1004

11 把耶和華的約櫃和裝金老鼠並金痔瘡像的匣子都放在車上。

11 And they laid7760 the ark727 of the LORD3068 on the cart,5699 and the coffer712 with the mice5909 of gold2091 and the images6754 of their tumors.2914

12 母牛[kine]直行大道,往伯.示麥去,一面走一面叫,不偏左右。非利士的首領跟在後面,直到伯.示麥的境界。

12 And the cows6510 took the straight3474 way1870 to the way1870 of Bethshemesh,1053 and went1980 along1980 the highway,4546 lowing1600 as they went,1980 and turned5493 not aside to the right3225 hand3225 or to the left;8040 and the lords5633 of the Philistines6430 went1980 after310 them to the border1366 of Bethshemesh.1053

13 伯.示麥人正在谷地[valley]收割麥子,舉目看見約櫃,就歡喜了。

13 And they of Bethshemesh1053 were reaping7114 their wheat2406 harvest7105 in the valley:6010 and they lifted5375 up their eyes,5869 and saw7200 the ark,727 and rejoiced8055 to see7200 it.

14 車到了伯.示麥人約書亞的田間,就站住了。在那裏有一塊大石頭[stone],他們把車劈了,將兩隻母牛獻給耶和華為燔祭。

14 And the cart5699 came935 into413 the field7704 of Joshua,3091 a Bethshemite,1030 and stood5975 there,8033 where8033 there was a great1419 stone:68 and they split1234 the wood6086 of the cart,5699 and offered5927 the cows6510 a burnt5930 offering to the LORD.3068

15 利未人將耶和華的約櫃和裝金物的匣子拿下來,放在大石頭[stone]上;當日伯.示麥人將燔祭和別的祭[sacrifices]獻給耶和華。

15 And the Levites3881 took3381 down3381 the ark727 of the LORD,3068 and the coffer712 that was with it, wherein834 the jewels3627 of gold2091 were, and put7760 them on413 the great1419 stone:68 and the men582 of Bethshemesh1053 offered5927 burnt5930 offerings and sacrificed2076 sacrifices2077 the same1931 day3117 to the LORD.3068

16 非利士人的五個首領看見,當日就回以革倫去了。

16 And when the five2568 lords5633 of the Philistines6430 had seen7200 it, they returned7725 to Ekron6138 the same1931 day.3117

17 非利士人獻給耶和華作贖愆祭[trespass offering]的金痔瘡像,就是這些:一個是為亞實突,一個是為迦薩,一個是為亞實基倫,一個是為迦特,一個是為以革倫。

17 And these428 are the golden2091 tumors2914 which834 the Philistines6430 returned7725 for a trespass817 offering to the LORD;3068 for Ashdod795 one,259 for Gaza5804 one,259 for Askelon831 one,259 for Gath1661 one,259 for Ekron6138 one;259

18 金老鼠的數目是照非利士五個首領的城邑,就是堅固的城邑和鄉村,以及亞比拉的[of Abel]石頭[stone]。這石頭[stone]是放耶和華約櫃的,到今日還在伯.示麥人約書亞的田間。

18 And the golden2091 mice,5909 according to the number4557 of all3605 the cities5892 of the Philistines6430 belonging to the five2568 lords,5633 both of fenced4013 cities,5892 and of country6521 villages,3724 even to the great1419 stone of Abel,59 where on834 5921 they set3240 down the ark727 of the LORD:3068 which stone remains to this2088 day3117 in the field7704 of Joshua,3091 the Bethshemite.1030

19 耶和華因伯.示麥人擅觀他的約櫃,就擊殺了他們五萬零七十人[fifty thousand and threescore and ten men]。百姓因耶和華大大擊殺他們,就哀哭了。

19 And he smote the men376 of Bethshemesh,1053 because3588 they had looked7200 into the ark727 of the LORD,3068 even he smote5221 of the people5971 fifty2572 thousand505 and three score7657 and ten men:376 and the people5971 lamented,56 because3588 the LORD3068 had smitten5221 many of the people5971 with a great1419 slaughter.4347

20 伯.示麥人說:「誰能在耶和華這聖潔的神面前侍立呢?這約櫃可以從我們這裏送到誰那裏去呢?」

20 And the men582 of Bethshemesh1053 said,559 Who4310 is able3201 to stand5975 before6440 this2088 holy6918 LORD3068 God?430 and to whom4310 shall he go5927 up from us?

21 於是打發人去見基列.耶琳的居民,說:「非利士人將耶和華的約櫃送回來了,你們下來將約櫃接到你們那裏去吧。」

21 And they sent7971 messengers4397 to the inhabitants3427 of Kirjathjearim,7157 saying,559 The Philistines6430 have brought7725 again7725 the ark727 of the LORD;3068 come3381 you down,3381 and fetch5927 it up to you.
