大卫统计人口
21 撒旦为了攻击以色列,就挑动大卫统计以色列人的数目。 2 大卫对约押和其他军中的首领说:“你们要走遍以色列,从别示巴一直到但,统计以色列的人口,然后回来禀告我,我好知道他们的数目。” 3 约押说:“愿耶和华使祂子民的人数比现在增加百倍。但我主我王啊,他们不都是你的仆人吗?我主为什么要这样做,使以色列人陷于罪中呢?” 4 但大卫不听约押的规劝。约押只好出去,走遍以色列,然后回到耶路撒冷, 5 将人数呈报大卫:全以色列有一百一十万刀兵,犹大有四十七万。 6 约押没有把利未人和便雅悯人算在其中,因为他厌恶王的这个命令。 7 上帝也不喜悦这事,便降灾给以色列人。 8 大卫对上帝说:“我做这事犯了大罪。求你赦免仆人的罪,我做了极其愚昧的事。” 9 耶和华对大卫的先见迦得说: 10 “你去告诉大卫,我有三样灾祸,他可以选择让我降哪一样给他。”
11 迦得就来见大卫,把耶和华的话告诉他,说:“你可以任选一样, 12 或三年的饥荒,或被敌人追杀三个月,或国中遭三天的瘟疫,让耶和华的天使在以色列全境施行毁灭。请你考虑好后告诉我,我好回复那差我来的。” 13 大卫说:“我实在为难!不过我宁愿落在耶和华的手中,也不愿落在人的手中,因为耶和华有无限的怜悯。”
14 于是,耶和华在以色列降下瘟疫,有七万人死亡。 15 上帝差遣天使去毁灭耶路撒冷。天使正要毁灭的时候,耶和华见了就心生怜悯,对施行毁灭的天使说:“够了,住手吧!”当时,耶和华的天使正站在耶布斯人阿珥楠的麦场上。 16 大卫举目看见耶和华的天使站在天地之间,手握着已出鞘的刀,指向耶路撒冷。大卫和众长老都身披麻衣,脸伏于地。 17 大卫对上帝说:“吩咐统计人民数目的不是我吗?是我犯了罪,做了恶事,这些百姓有什么过错呢?我的上帝耶和华啊,愿你的手惩罚我和我的家族,不要把瘟疫降在你的子民身上。”
18 耶和华的天使吩咐迦得去告诉大卫在耶布斯人阿珥楠的麦场上为耶和华建一座祭坛。 19 大卫照耶和华借迦得所说的话去了麦场。 20 那时,阿珥楠正在打麦子,他转身看见了天使,跟他在一起的四个儿子都躲了起来。 21 阿珥楠看见大卫来了,就从麦场出来,俯伏叩拜大卫。 22 大卫对他说:“请你将这块麦场卖给我,我要在这里为耶和华筑一座祭坛,好止住民间的瘟疫。你全价卖给我吧。” 23 阿珥楠说:“我主我王只管用我的麦场!我愿献出牛作燔祭,打麦的器具作柴,麦子作素祭,我愿献出这一切。”
24 大卫王说:“不可,我一定要付你全价,我不能拿你的东西献给耶和华,不能把白白得来的献作燔祭。” 25 于是,大卫就用七公斤金子买了阿珥楠的麦场。 26 大卫在那里为耶和华建了一座坛,献上燔祭和平安祭,并求告耶和华。耶和华垂听了他的祷告,从天上降火在祭坛上, 27 又命令天使收刀入鞘。
28 大卫见耶和华在耶布斯人阿珥楠的麦场上应允了他的祷告,就在那里献祭。 29 那时候,摩西在旷野为耶和华所造的圣幕和燔祭坛都在基遍的高地。 30 但大卫因为惧怕耶和华天使的刀,不敢去那里求问上帝。

大卫数点人口(A)
21 撒但起来攻击以色列人,引诱大卫去数点以色列人的数目。 2 于是大卫对约押和民众的领袖说:“你们去数点以色列人,从别是巴直到但,然后回来见我,让我知道他们的数目。” 3 约押说:“愿耶和华使他的子民比现在增加百倍。我主我王啊,他们不都是我主的仆人吗?我主为甚么要作这事呢?为甚么使以色列人陷在罪里呢?” 4 但王坚持他的命令,约押不敢违抗;约押就出去,走遍以色列各地,然后回到耶路撒冷。 5 约押把数点人民的数目呈报大卫:全以色列能拿刀的人,共有一百一十万;犹大能拿刀的人,共有四十七万。 6 唯有利未人和便雅悯人,他没有数点在内,因为约押厌恶王这个命令。
耶和华降罚(B)
7 神不喜悦这事,所以他击打以色列人。 8 大卫对 神说:“我犯了重罪,因为我行了这事;现在求你除去你仆人的罪孽,因我作了十分愚昧的事。”
9 耶和华告诉大卫的先见迦得,说: 10 “你去告诉大卫,说:‘耶和华这样说:我给你提出三件事,你可以选择一件,我好向你施行。’” 11 于是迦得来见大卫,对他说:“耶和华这样说:‘你可以选择: 12 或是三年的饥荒;或是在你敌人面前逃亡,被你仇敌的刀剑追杀三个月;或是耶和华的刀攻击三天,就是在国中发生瘟疫三日,耶和华的使者在以色列的四境施行毁灭。’现在你考虑一下,我该用甚么话回复那差派我来的。” 13 大卫对迦得说:“我十分作难,我情愿落在耶和华的手里,因为他有极丰盛的怜悯,我不愿落在人的手里。”
14 于是耶和华使瘟疫降在以色列人身上;以色列人死了七万人。 15 神差派一位使者到耶路撒冷去,要毁灭那城;正要施行毁灭的时候,耶和华看见了,就后悔所要降的这灾,于是对施行毁灭的天使说:“够了!住手吧!”那时,耶和华的使者正站在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场附近。 16 大卫举目看见耶和华的使者站在天地之间,手里拿着出了鞘的刀,指向耶路撒冷。大卫和众长老都穿上麻布,脸伏于地。 17 大卫对 神说:“吩咐统计这人民的不是我吗?是我犯了罪,行了这大恶;但这羊群作了甚么呢?耶和华我的 神啊,愿你的手攻击我和我的家族,不可把瘟疫降在你子民的身上。”
大卫筑坛献祭(C)
18 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,为耶和华筑一座祭坛。 19 大卫就照着迦得奉耶和华的名所说的话上去了。 20 那时阿珥楠正在打麦子;阿珥楠转过身来看见了天使,就和他的四个儿子一起躲藏起来。 21 大卫来到阿珥楠那里,阿珥楠看见大卫,就从禾场上出来,脸伏于地,向大卫下拜。 22 大卫对阿珥楠说:“请把这块禾场的地让给我,我要在这里为耶和华筑一座祭坛,请你算足价银让给我,使民间的瘟疫可以止息。” 23 阿珥楠对大卫说:“只管拿去吧,我主我王看怎样好就怎样行吧;你看,我把牛给你作燔祭,把打禾的用具当柴烧,拿麦子作素祭;这一切我都送给你。” 24 大卫王对阿珥楠说:“不,我必照足价银向你买;我不能拿你的东西献给耶和华,也不能把没有付代价的东西献上作燔祭。” 25 于是大卫称了六千八百四十克金子给阿珥楠,买了那块地。 26 大卫在那里为耶和华筑了一座祭坛,献上燔祭和平安祭;他呼求耶和华,耶和华就应允他,从天上降火在燔祭坛上。 27 耶和华吩咐使者,他就收刀入鞘。
选定建殿地址
28 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。 29 摩西在旷野所做耶和华的帐幕和燔祭坛,那时都在基遍的高地, 30 只是大卫不敢上去求问 神,因为惧怕耶和华使者的刀。 31 于是大卫说:“这就是耶和华 神的殿,这就是给以色列人献燔祭的坛。”
1 Chronicles 21
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
21 Satan [an adversary] stood up against Israel and stirred up David to number Israel.
2 David said to Joab and the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba to Dan, and bring me the total, that I may know it.
3 And Joab answered, May the Lord multiply His people a hundred times! But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? Why then does my lord require this? Why will he bring guilt upon Israel?
4 But the king’s word prevailed against Joab. So Joab departed and went throughout all Israel and came to Jerusalem.
5 Joab gave the total number of the people to David. And all of Israel were 1,100,000 who drew the sword, and of Judah 470,000 who drew the sword.
6 But Levi and Benjamin he did not include among them, for the king’s order was detestable to Joab.
7 And God was displeased with this [reliance on human resources], and He smote Israel.
8 And David said to God, I have sinned greatly because I have done this thing. But now, I beseech You, take away the hateful wickedness of Your servant; for I have done very foolishly.
9 And the Lord said to Gad, David’s seer,
10 Go and tell David, Thus says the Lord: I offer you three things; choose one of them, that I may do it to you.
11 So Gad came to David and said to him, Thus says the Lord: Take which one you will:
12 Either three years of famine, or three months of devastation before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you, or else three days of the sword of the Lord and pestilence in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore, consider what answer I shall return to Him Who sent me.
13 And David said to Gad, I am in great and distressing perplexity; let me fall, I pray you, into the hands of the Lord, for very great and many are His mercies; but let me not fall into the hands of man.
14 So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel, and there fell of Israel 70,000 men.
15 God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it, and as he was destroying, the Lord beheld, and He regretted and relented of the evil and said to the destroying angel, It is enough; now stay your hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 David lifted up his eyes and saw the angel of the Lord standing between earth and the heavens, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
17 And David said to God, Is it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? It is I who has sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray You, O Lord my God, be on me and on my father’s house, but not on Your people, that they should be plagued.
18 Then the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to say to David that David should go up and set up an altar to the Lord in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 So David went up at Gad’s word, which he spoke in the name of the Lord.
20 Now Ornan was threshing wheat, and he turned back and saw the angel; and his four sons hid themselves.
21 And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw him, and went out from the threshing floor and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
22 Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the site of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar on it to the Lord. You shall charge me the full price for it, that the plague may be averted from the people.
23 Ornan said to David, Take it; and let my lord the king do what is good in his eyes. I give you the oxen also for burnt offerings and the threshing sledges for wood and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all.
24 And King David said to Ornan, No, but I will pay the full price. I will not take what is yours for the Lord, nor offer burnt offerings which cost me nothing.
25 So David gave to Ornan for the site 600 shekels of gold by weight.
26 And David built there an altar to the Lord and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings and called upon the Lord; and He answered him by fire from heaven upon the altar of burnt offering.
27 Then the Lord commanded the [avenging] angel, and he put his sword back into its sheath.
28 When David saw that the Lord had answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there.
29 For the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
