# 撒上-1Sa 6 ## 撒上6:1 耶和华的约柜在非利士人之地七个月。 1Sa 6:1 The ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months. ## 撒上6:2 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？” 1Sa 6:2 “And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the LORD? Tell us with what we shall send it to its place.” ## 撒上6:3 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。” 1Sa 6:3 “They said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty, but by all means return him a guilt offering. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why his hand does not turn away from you.” ## 撒上6:4 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。 1Sa 6:4 “And they said, “What is the guilt offering that we shall return to him?” They answered, “Five golden tumors and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines, for the same plague was on all of you and on your lords.” ## 撒上6:5 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。 1Sa 6:5 “So you must make images of your tumors and images of your mice that ravage the land, and give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will lighten his hand from off you and your gods and your land.” ## 撒上6:6 你们为何硬着心象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？ 1Sa 6:6 “Why should you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? After he had dealt severely with them, did they not send the people away, and they departed?” ## 撒上6:7 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。 1Sa 6:7 “Now then, take and prepare a new cart and two milk cows on which there has never come a yoke, and yoke the cows to the cart, but take their calves home, away from them.” ## 撒上6:8 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。 1Sa 6:8 “And take the ark of the LORD and place it on the cart and put in a box at its side the figures of gold, which you are returning to him as a guilt offering. Then send it off and let it go its way” ## 撒上6:9 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。” 1Sa 6:9 “and watch. If it goes up on the way to its own land, to Beth-shemesh, then it is he who has done us this great harm, but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that struck us; it happened to us by coincidence.” ## 撒上6:10 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。 1Sa 6:10 “The men did so, and took two milk cows and yoked them to the cart and shut up their calves at home.” ## 撒上6:11 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。 1Sa 6:11 And they put the ark of the LORD on the cart and the box with the golden mice and the images of their tumors. ## 撒上6:12 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。 1Sa 6:12 “And the cows went straight in the direction of Beth-shemesh along one highway, lowing as they went. They turned neither to the right nor to the left, and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the border of Beth-shemesh.” ## 撒上6:13 伯示麦人正在平原收割麦子，举目看见约柜，就欢喜了。 1Sa 6:13 Now the people of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley. And when they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, they rejoiced to see it.” ## 撒上6:14 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。 1Sa 6:14 The cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh and stopped there. A great stone was there. And they split up the wood of the cart and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD. ## 撒上6:15 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。 1Sa 6:15 “And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD and the box that was beside it, in which were the golden figures, and set them upon the great stone. And the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices on that day to the LORD.” ## 撒上6:16 非利士人的五个首领看见，当日就回以革伦去了。 1Sa 6:16 “And when the five lords of the Philistines saw it, they returned that day to Ekron.” ## 撒上6:17 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。 1Sa 6:17 “These are the golden tumors that the Philistines returned as a guilt offering to the LORD: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron,” ## 撒上6:18 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。 1Sa 6:18 “and the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and unwalled villages. The great stone beside which they set down the ark of the LORD is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh.” ## 撒上6:19 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。 1Sa 6:19 “And he struck some of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they looked upon the ark of the LORD. He struck seventy men of them, and the people mourned because the LORD had struck the people with a great blow.” ## 撒上6:20 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？” 1Sa 6:20 “Then the men of Beth-shemesh said, “Who is able to stand before the LORD, this holy God? And to whom shall he go up away from us?” ## 撒上6:21 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！” 1Sa 6:21 “So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath-jearim, saying, “The Philistines have returned the ark of the LORD. Come down and take it up to you.”
