旧约 撒母耳记上(1 Samuel)：第1章 第2章 第3章 第4章 第5章 第6章 第7章 第8章 第9章 第10章 第11章 第12章 第13章 第14章 第15章 第16章 第17章 第18章 第19章 第20章 第21章 第22章 第23章 第24章 第25章 第26章 第27章 第28章 第29章 第30章 第31章

第1段

耶和华的约柜在非利士人之地七个月。
And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.

第2段

非利士人将祭司和占卜的聚了来，问他们说，我们向耶和华的约柜应当怎样行。请指示我们用何法将约柜送回原处。
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.

第3段

他们说，若要将以色列神的约柜送回去，不可空空地送去，必要给他献赔罪的礼物，然后你们可得痊愈，并知道他的手为何不离开你们。
And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.

第4段

非利士人说，应当用什么献为赔罪的礼物呢。他们回答说，当照非利士首领的数目，用五个金痔疮，五个金老鼠，因为在你们众人和你们首领的身上都是一样的灾。
Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.

第5段

所以当制造你们痔疮的像和毁坏你们田地老鼠的像，并要归荣耀给以色列的神，或者他向你们和你们的神，并你们的田地，把手放轻些。
Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.

第6段

你们为何硬着心像埃及人和法老一样呢。神在埃及人中间行奇事，埃及人岂不释放以色列人，他们就去了吗。
Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?

第7段

现在你们应当造一辆新车，将两只未曾负轭有乳的母牛套在车上，使牛犊回家去，离开母牛。
Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:

第8段

把耶和华的约柜放在车上，将所献赔罪的金物装在匣子里，放在柜旁，将柜送去。
And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.

第9段

你们要看看，车若直行以色列的境界到伯示麦去，这大灾就是耶和华降在我们身上的。若不然，便可以知道不是他的手击打我们，是我们偶然遇见的。
And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Bethshemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us: it was a chance that happened to us.

第10段

非利士人就这样行，将两只有乳的母牛套在车上，将牛犊关在家里，
And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:

第11段

把耶和华的约柜和装金老鼠并金痔疮像的匣子都放在车上。
And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.

第12段

牛直行大道，往伯示麦去，一面走一面叫，不偏左右。非利士的首领跟在后面，直到伯示麦的境界。
And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Bethshemesh.

第13段

伯示麦人正在平原收割麦子，举目看见约柜，就欢喜了。
And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.

第14段

车到了伯示麦人约书亚的田间，就站住了。在那里有一块大磐石，他们把车劈了，将两只母牛献给耶和华为燔祭。
And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto the LORD.

第15段

利未人将耶和华的约柜和装金物的匣子拿下来，放在大磐石上。当日伯示麦人将燔祭和平安祭献给耶和华。
And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Bethshemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the LORD.

第16段

非利士人的五个首领看见，当日就回以革伦去了。
And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.

第17段

非利士人献给耶和华作赔罪的金痔疮像，就是这些，一个是为亚实突，一个是为迦萨，一个是为亚实基伦，一个是为迦特，一个是为以革伦。
And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;

第18段

金老鼠的数目是照非利士五个首领的城邑，就是坚固的城邑和乡村，以及大磐石。这磐石是放耶和华约柜的，到今日还在伯示麦人约书亚的田间。
And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite.

第19段

耶和华因伯示麦人擅观他的约柜，就击杀了他们七十人。那时有五万人在那里（原文作七十人加五万人）。百姓因耶和华大大击杀他们，就哀哭了。
And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.

第20段

伯示麦人说，谁能在耶和华这圣洁的神面前侍立呢。这约柜可以从我们这里送到谁那里去呢。
And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?

第21段

于是打发人去见基列耶琳的居民，说，非利士人将耶和华的约柜送回来了，你们下来将约柜接到你们那里去吧。
And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, and fetch it up to you.
