< 撒母耳記下 24 >
1 上主對以色列又大發憤怒,遂激動達味去難為他們,並向他們說:「你去統計以色列和猶大人口」。
Pea naʻe toe vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki he kakai ʻIsileli, pea naʻe ueʻi ai ʻa Tevita ke ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻAlu, ʻo lau pe ʻoku toko fiha ʻa ʻIsileli mo Siuta.”
2 王遂對在自己身邊的約阿布和其餘的軍長說:「你們應走遍以色列各支派,由丹直到具爾舍巴,統計人民,我好知道人民的號目」。
He naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Soape ko e ʻeiki pule ki he kautau, ʻaia naʻe ʻiate ia, “ʻAlu hake eni ki he faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli mei Tani ʻo aʻu atu ki Peasipa, pea lau ʻae kakai, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ai pe ʻoku toko fiha ʻae kakai.”
3 約阿布對君王說:「願上主你的天主將目前的百姓增加百倍,願我主大王親眼見到! 但我主大王,為什麼要行此事﹖」
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Soape ki he tuʻi, “Manavahē tuku ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ne fakatokolahi ki hoʻo kakai, pe ko e hā ia ʻa honau tokolahi, ke liunga teau hake, pea ne tuku foki ke sio ki ai ʻae mata ʻo hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi: ka ko e hā ʻoku fiefie fai ai ʻae meʻa ni ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi?”
4 可是君王堅持向約阿布和眾軍長所出命令,約阿布和眾軍長便離開君王,去統計以色列百姓。
Ka neongo ia naʻe mālohi atu ʻae lea ʻae tuʻi kia Soape, pea ki he houʻeiki naʻe pule ki he kautau. Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Soape, mo e houʻeiki naʻe pule ki he kautau, mei he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi kenau lau ʻae kakai ʻo ʻIsileli.
5 他們過了約旦河,由阿洛厄爾及山谷間城市開始,經過加得直到雅則爾,
Pea naʻa nau ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, ʻonau ʻapitanga ʻi ʻAloeli, ki he potu toʻomataʻu ʻoe kolo ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ki he lotolotonga ʻoe teleʻa ʻo Kata, ʻo hanga tonu ki Sesa:
6 而後來來到基肋阿得及赫特人地方的刻德士,再由此到丹,轉到漆東。
Hili ia naʻa nau omi ki Kiliati, pea ki he fonua ko Tatimi-Otisi: pea naʻa nau hoko atu ki Tani-Saani, ʻo fai hake ki Saitoni,
7 以後來到提洛的堡壘,希威人和客納罕人的各城,然後經過猶大南部,來到了貝爾舍巴。
ʻO nau omi ki he kolo mālohi ʻo Taia, pea ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻoe kakai Hevi, pea mo e kakai Kēnani: pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu ki he potu tonga ʻo Siuta, ʻo aʻu ki Peasipa.
8 他們走遍了全國,經過九個月零二十天,回到了耶路撒冷。
Pea ko ia, hili ʻenau ʻalu atu ki he potu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, naʻa nau hoko mai ki Selūsalema ʻi he kātoa ʻoe māhina ʻe hiva mo e ʻaho ʻe uofulu.
9 約阿布將統計的人民的數目,呈報給君王:以色列能執刀的士兵有八十萬人,猶大有五十萬人﹖
Pea naʻe tuku atu ʻe Soape ki he tuʻi ʻa hono lau fakataha ʻae toko fiha ʻoe kakai: pea naʻe ʻi ʻIsileli ʻae kau tangata mālohi naʻe faʻa toʻo ʻae heletā, ko e toko valu kilu; pea ko e kau tangata naʻe ʻi Siuta, ko e toko nima kilu.
10 達味統計人民以後,心中感到不安,遂向上主說:「做這事,實在是犯了重罪。上主,現在我求你,赦免你僕人的罪,因為我所行實在昏愚」。
Pea naʻe valoki ʻa Tevita ʻe hono loto hili ʻa ʻene lau ʻae kakai. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Sihova, kuo u fai angahala lahi ʻi he meʻa ʻaia kuo u fai: pea ko eni, “ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe ke ʻave ʻae hia ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki; he kuo u fai vale lahi ʻaupito.”
11 達味清早一起來,上主有話向先知加得──達味的先見者說:
He koeʻuhi ʻi heʻene tuʻu hake ʻa Tevita ʻi he pongipongi, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ki he palōfita ko Kata, ko e tangata kikite ʻo Tevita, ʻo pehē,
12 「你去告訴達味:上主這樣說:我給你提出三件事,任你揀選一件,我好向你實行」。
“ʻAlu ʻo fakahā kia Tevita, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku ou tuku ke ke fili ki he meʻa ʻe tolu: fili kiate koe ha taha mei ai, koeʻuhi ke u fai ia kiate koe.”
13 加得來到達味前,告訴他說:「你要在國內三年飢荒呢﹖或要三個月逃避趕你的敵人呢﹖或者要在國內發生三天瘟疫呢﹖現在請你考慮一下,決定我應向那派我來者回覆什麼」。
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻa Kata kia Tevita, ʻo ne tala ki ai, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻE hoko ha honge kiate koe ʻi ho fonua ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu? Pe te ke fie hola ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu mei he ʻao ʻo ho ngaahi fili, ka nau tulia koe? Pe[te ke fili ]ke ai ha mahaki fakaʻauha ʻi ho fonua ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu? Fakakaukau eni ki ai, pea vakai pe ko e hā ha lea te u toe lea ʻaki kiate ia naʻa ne fekauʻi au.”
14 達味對加得說:「我很作難! 我們寧願落在上主的手中,因為衪富於仁慈,而不願落在人手中」。
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Kata, “Kuo ʻefihiaʻi lahi ʻaupito au: tuku eni ketau hinga atu ki he nima ʻo Sihova: he ʻoku lahi ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa: kaeʻoua naʻaku tō atu ki he nima ʻoe tangata.”
15 達味就揀選了瘟疫;正當收割麥子時,上主遂使瘟疫降於以色列,為早晨直到規定的時期,由丹直到貝爾舍巴,民間死了七萬人。
Ko ia naʻe ʻomi ai ʻe Sihova ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha ki ʻIsileli mei he pongipongi ʻo aʻu atu ki he feituʻu ʻaho ʻaia naʻe tuʻutuʻuni: pea naʻe pekia ʻi he kakai mei Tani ʻo aʻu atu ki Peasipa, ʻae kakai tangata ʻe toko fitu mano.
16 當時,上主派一位使者往耶路撒冷去,要毀滅那座城。達味看見那打擊人民的使者,遂向上主說:「是我犯了罪,行了不義,而這些羊作了什麼﹖請你伸手打擊我和我的父家」。上主後悔降災,遂吩咐那毀滅人民的使者說:「夠了,現今收回你的手! 」那時,上主的使者正站在耶步斯人敖爾難的打禾場上。
Pea ʻi heʻene mafao atu ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa hono nima ki Selūsalema ke fakaʻauha ia, naʻe liliu ʻa Sihova mei he fakahoko ʻae kovi, pea ne folofola ki he ʻāngelo ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi ʻae kakai, “Kuo lahi; ke taʻofi eni ho nima.” Pea naʻe feʻunga ʻae ʻāngelo ʻo Sihova mo e hahaʻanga uite ʻo ʻAlauna ko e tangata Sepusi.
17 當時,上主派一位使者往耶路撒冷去,要毀滅那座城。達味看見那打擊人民的使者,遂向上主說:「是我犯了罪,行了不義,而這些羊作了什麼﹖請你伸手打擊我和我的父家」。上主後悔降災,遂吩咐那毀滅人民的使者說:「夠了,現今收回你的手! 」那時,上主的使者正站在耶步斯人敖爾難的打禾場上。
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Tevita kia Sihova, ʻi heʻene mamata ki he ʻāngelo ʻaia naʻe taaʻi ʻae kakai, ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, kuo u fai angahala, pea kuo u fai ʻae kovi lahi: ka ko e fanga sipi na ko e hā kuo nau fai? ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ho nima ke mafao mai kiate au, pea ki he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai.”
18 那一天,加得來到達味前,對他說:「你上去,在敖爾難的打禾場上,為上主建立一座祭壇」。
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Kata ʻi he ʻaho ko ia kia Tevita ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻAlu hake, pea ke fokotuʻu ha feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova ʻi he hahaʻanga uite ʻo ʻAlauna ko e tangata Sepusi.”
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Tevita, ʻo hangē ko e tala ʻa Kata, pea hangē ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova.
20 敖爾難望見君王和他的臣僕向他走來,敖爾難就上前去,俯首至地叩拜君王,
Pea naʻe sio ʻa ʻAlauna, ʻo ne mamata ki heʻene haʻu kiate ia ʻae tuʻi pea mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki: pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa ʻAlauna, pea naʻa ne punou hifo ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ki hono mata ki he kelekele.
21 說:「我主大王,為什麼到他僕人這裡來?」達味回答他說:「願向你買這禾場,給上主建立一座祭壇,為平息民間的災禍。」災禍」。
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAlauna, “Ko e hā kuo haʻu ai ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe Tevita, “Koeʻuhi ke u fakatau meiate koe ʻae hahaʻanga uite, ke fokotuʻu ai ha feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova, ke ngata ai ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha mei he kakai.”
22 敖爾難對達味說:「我主大王看著好的,就拿去祭獻吧! 看,這裏有牛可作全燔祭,有打禾場和牛軛可作木柴。
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAlauna kia Tevita, “Tuku ke toʻo ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi mo ne feilaulau ʻaki ha meʻa ʻoku lelei kiate ia: vakai, ʻoku ʻi heni ʻae fanga pulu ki he feilaulau tutu, mo e nāunau ʻoe haha uite, mo e nāunau ʻoe fanga pulu ke fefie ʻaki.”
23 大王,敖爾難願將這一切獻於大王! 」繼而又對君王說:「願上主你的天主悅納你的祭獻! 」
Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē naʻe fai fakaʻeiʻeiki ai ʻa ʻAlauna ʻo ne foaki ia ki he tuʻi. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAlauna ki he tuʻi, “Ke ʻofeina koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.”
24 君王對敖爾難說:「不成,我非用錢向你買不可 ,我不願用不化錢的全燔祭,獻給上主我的天主」。於是達味以五十「協刻耳」銀子,買了那塊打禾場和牛。
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia ʻAlauna, “ʻE ʻikai pehē; ka te u fakatau moʻoni ia meiate koe ʻaki ha totongi: pea ʻe ʻikai foki te u ʻatu ha feilaulau tutu kia Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ʻi ha meʻa kuo u maʻu taʻetotongi.” Pea ko ia naʻe fakatau ai ʻe Tevita ʻae hahaʻanga uite, pea mo e fanga pulu, ʻaki ʻae sikeli siliva ʻe nimangofulu.
25 達味在那裏為上主建立了一座祭壇,奉獻了全燔祭與和平祭。這樣上主才憐恤了那地,以色列間的災禍遂告平息。
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻi ai ʻe Tevita ha feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova, pea ne ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino. Pea pehē, naʻe fakakolekolea ʻa Sihova koeʻuhi ko e fonua, pea naʻe taʻofi ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha mei ʻIsileli.
