大衛對上帝說：『說要統計這人民的豈不是我麼？是我犯了罪了，行了大惡了；這些羣羊作了甚麼呢？永恆主我的上帝啊，但願你的手攻擊我和我父的家好啦；可別拿疫症擊死你的人民啊。』

大卫祷告神说：“吩咐数点百姓的不是我吗？我犯了罪，行了恶，但这群羊做了什么呢？愿耶和华我神的手攻击我和我的父家，不要攻击你的民，降瘟疫与他们。”

大卫向上帝说：“吩咐数点百姓的不是我吗？是我犯了罪，行了大恶，但这群羊做了什么呢？耶和华—我的上帝啊，愿你的手攻击我和我的父家，不要降瘟疫给你的百姓。”

大卫向神说：“吩咐数点百姓的不是我吗？是我犯了罪，行了大恶，但这群羊做了什么呢？耶和华—我的神啊，愿你的手攻击我和我的父家，不要降瘟疫给你的百姓。”

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。”

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；但这羊群作了什么呢？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。”

大衛禱告神說：「吩咐數點百姓的不是我嗎？我犯了罪，行了惡，但這羣羊做了甚麼呢？願耶和華－我神的手攻擊我和我的父家，不要攻擊你的民，降瘟疫與他們。」

大衛向上帝說：「吩咐數點百姓的不是我嗎？是我犯了罪，行了大惡，但這羣羊做了甚麼呢？耶和華－我的上帝啊，願你的手攻擊我和我的父家，不要降瘟疫給你的百姓。」

大衛向神說：「吩咐數點百姓的不是我嗎？是我犯了罪，行了大惡，但這羣羊做了甚麼呢？耶和華－我的神啊，願你的手攻擊我和我的父家，不要降瘟疫給你的百姓。」

大衛對上帝說：「吩咐統計人民數目的不是我嗎？是我犯了罪，做了惡事，這些百姓有什麼過錯呢？我的上帝耶和華啊，願你的手懲罰我和我的家族，不要把瘟疫降在你的子民身上。」

大衛對神說：“吩咐統計這人民的不是我嗎？是我犯了罪，行了這大惡；但這羊群作了甚麼呢？耶和華我的神啊，願你的手攻擊我和我的家族，不可把瘟疫降在你子民的身上。”

大衛禱上帝曰、命核民數者非我乎、我犯罪行惡、此羣羊何為、願我上帝耶和華手攻我、及我父家、勿攻爾民、使遘斯災、

大闢籲上帝曰、核民數者、非我乎、我犯罪行惡、何與群羊、請我上帝耶和華、攻我及我全家、毋降災於斯眾。

大衛禱於天主曰、命核民數者我也、我有罪、我行惡、此群羊何所為、求主我之天主、攻我攻我或作降災於我與我之父家、勿降疫癘於民、

David said to God,“ Was it not I who ordered the fighting men to be counted? I, the shepherd, have sinned and done wrong. These are but sheep. What have they done? Lord my God, let your hand fall on me and my family, but do not let this plague remain on your people.”

David said to God,“ I ordered the fighting men to be counted. I’m the one who has sinned. I am the shepherd of these people. I’m the one who has done what is wrong. These people are like sheep. What have they done? Lord my God, punish me and my family. But don’t let this plague continue to strike your people.”

And David said to God,“ Was it not I who gave command to number the people? It is I who have sinned and done great evil. But these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, O Lord my God, be against me and against my father’s house. But do not let the plague be on your people.”

And David said to God,“ I am the one who called for the census! I am the one who has sinned and done wrong! But these people are as innocent as sheep— what have they done? O Lord my God, let your anger fall against me and my family, but do not destroy your people.”

David said to God,“ Wasn’t I the one who gave the order to count the people? I am the one who has sinned and acted very wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? LORD my God, please let your hand be against me and against my father’s family, but don’t let the plague be against your people.”

And David said to God,“ Is it not I who commanded to count the people? Indeed, I am the one who has sinned and acted very wickedly, but these sheep, what have they done? Lord, my God, just let Your hand be against me and my father’s household, and not against Your people as a plague.”

And David said to God,“ Was it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, O Lord my God, be against me and my father’s house, but not against Your people that they should be plagued.”

And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, O Jehovah my God, be against me, and against my father’s house; but not against thy people, that they should be plagued.

David said to God,“ Wasn’t I the one who gave the order to count the people? I am the one who has sinned and acted very wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? My Lord God, please let Your hand be against me and against my father’s family, but don’t let the plague be against Your people.”

And David said unto God,[ Is it] not I[ that] commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but[ as for] these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father’s house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.

David said to God,“ Was I not the one who decided to number the army? I am the one who sinned and committed this awful deed! As for these sheep– what have they done? O LORD my God, attack me and my family, but remove the plague from your people!”

David said to God,“ Isn’t it I who commanded the people to be counted? It is even I who have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, O Yahweh my God, be against me, and against my father’s house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued.”

上帝啊，拯救我的上帝啊，援救我免犯流人血的罪；我的舌頭就呼頌你的義氣。

我犯罪得罪的乃是你，就只是你，是在你眼前行了這壞事，以致你下判語時顯為公義，你判罰時顯為清正。

如今請容你僕人住下，替這兒童做我主的奴僕，叫兒童和他哥哥們一同上去。

你使我們像羊給人吞喫，使我們四散於列國中。

現在你要對我僕人大衛這樣說：「萬軍之永恆主這麼說：我將你從羊圈中、從趕羊羣的事上選取了來，讓你做人君來管理我人民以色列。

大衛看見了那擊殺人民的天使，就對永恆主說道：『是我犯了罪了；我作了孽了；這些羣羊作了甚麼呢？但願你的手攻擊我和我父的家好啦。』

今日你們竟轉離了永恆主呀？今日你們既背叛了永恆主，明日他就必震怒以色列全會眾了。

主替我們放棄了性命：在這一點、我們就認識了愛了。我們呢、也應該替弟兄們放棄性命。

如今，你若赦免他們的罪，就好啦；倘若不然，就求你從你所記的冊上把我塗抹掉吧。』永恆主對摩西說：『誰犯罪得罪了我，我就從我的冊上塗抹誰。

永恆主又向以色列人發怒，就激動了大衛來害他們，說：『去統計統計以色列人和猶大人吧。』

好使你在我赦宥你除淨你一切所行的之時，你心裏能夠追念而自覺慚愧，並因你受的羞辱而不再開口：這是主永恆主發神諭說的。』

米該雅說：『我看見以色列眾人四散在山上、如同沒有牧人的羊羣一般；永恆主說：「這些人既沒有主人，讓他們安安然然各回各家去吧。」』

現在呢、你既藐視了我，娶了赫人烏利亞的妻做你的妻子，刀劍就永不離開你的家。」

我乃是好的牧人；好的牧人替羊放棄性命。做雇工而不是牧人的，羊不是自己的羊的，見狼來了，就撇下了羊逃跑了——狼抓住羊，給趕散了——

不可敬拜它們，也不可事奉它們，因為我永恆主你的上帝是忌邪的上帝；恨我的、我必察罰他們的罪愆、從父親到兒子、到三四代。

並且從你本身出的、就是你所生的、子孫中、也必有人被擄去，在巴比倫王宮裏當太監。』希西家對以賽亞說：『你所說永恆主的話很好啊。』他心裏說：『至少在我活着的日子有太平穩固的景況就好啦。』

上帝啊，你為甚麼永久屏棄我們？為甚麼向你牧養的羊冒煙發怒呢？

大衛就對上帝說：『因我所行的這事、我大大犯了罪了。如今求你不追究你僕人的罪愆；因為我幹了極糊塗事了。』

為我弟兄、我骨肉之親、我巴不得被革除、和基督隔絕呢！
