24：17 大卫看见灭民的天使，就祷告耶和华说，我犯了罪，行了恶。但这群羊作了什么呢。愿你的手攻击我和我的父家。
And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people， and said， Lo， I have sinned， and I have done wickedly： but these sheep， what have they done？ let thine hand， I pray thee， be against me， and against my father's house.
24：18 当日，迦得来见大卫，对他说，你上去，在耶布斯人亚劳拿的禾场上为耶和华筑一座坛。
And Gad came that day to David， and said unto him， Go up， rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite.
24：19 大卫就照着迦得奉耶和华名所说的话上去了。
And David， according to the saying of Gad， went up as the LORD commanded.
24：20 亚劳拿观看，见王和他臣仆前来，就迎接出去，脸伏于地，向王下拜，And Araunah looked， and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him： and Araunah went out， and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground.
24：21 说，我主我王为何来到仆人这里呢。大卫说，我要买你这禾场，为耶和华筑一座坛，使民间的瘟疫止住。
And Araunah said， Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant？ And David said， To buy the threshingfloor of thee， to build an altar unto the LORD， that the plague may be stayed from the people.
24：22 亚劳拿对大卫说，我主我王，你喜悦用什么，就拿去献祭。看哪，这里有牛可以作燔祭，有打粮的器具和套牛的轭可以当柴烧。
And Araunah said unto David， Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him： behold， here be oxen for burnt sacrifice， and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood.
24：23 王阿，这一切，我亚劳拿都奉给你。又对王说，愿耶和华你的神悦纳你。
All these things did Araunah， as a king， give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king， The LORD thy God accept thee.
24：24 王对亚劳拿说，不然。我必要按着价值向你买。我不肯用白得之物作燔祭献给耶和华我的神。大卫就用五十舍客勒银子买了那禾场与牛。
And the king said unto Araunah， Nay； but I will surely buy it of thee at a price： neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
24：25 大卫在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛，献燔祭和平安祭。如此，耶和华垂听国民所求的，瘟疫在以色列人中就止住了。
And David built there an altar unto the LORD， and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land， and the plague was stayed from Israel.
