撒上6:1 耶和华的约柜在非利士人之地七个月。

†[吕]永恒主的柜在非利士人乡间七个月。

†[思]上主的约柜在培肋舍特地方七个月之久。

†[当代]约柜在非利士的地方停留了七个月，

†[新译]耶和华的约柜在非利士人的地方有七个月之久。

†[Wlb]耶和华匮在非利士人之地、凡历七月、

†[Xdv]上主的约柜在非利士停留了七个月以后，

†[Kjv]And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.

†[Nkjv]Now the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.

†[BBE]Now the ark of the Lord was in the country of the Philistines for seven months.

†[GNT] After the Lord's Covenant Box had been in Philistia for seven months,

†[NIV]When the ark of the Lord had been in Philistine territory 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。” (串)申18:10

†[吕]非利士人把祭司和占卜者叫了来，说：“我们要怎样处置永恒主的柜呢？请让我们知道须要用什么法子将柜送回原处去。”

†[思]培肋舍特人召集司祭和占卜者说：“我们对上主的约柜该作什么？请告诉我们，用什么方法可将它送回原处？”

†[当代]非利士人不知所措，就求问他们的祭司和占卜家，说：“我们应当怎样处置上帝的约柜呢？我们把它送回原处的时候，应该带些什么礼物呢？”

†[新译]非利士人把众祭司和占卜的都召了来，问他们：“我们应该怎样处理耶和华的约柜呢？请告诉我们，要怎样才能把它送回原处呢？”

†[Wlb]非利士人招其祭司卜师曰、耶和华匮、何以处之、当用何物遣归故土、请以示我、

†[Xdv]非利士人请了祭司和占卜的来，问他们：“我们该怎样处理以色列上主的约柜呢？如果我们把它送回原处，还应该附上些什么？”

†[Kjv]And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.

†[Nkjv]And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, "What shall we do with the ark of the LORD? Tell us how we should send it to its place."

†[BBE]And the Philistines sent for the priests and those who were wise in secret arts, and said to them, What are we to do with the ark of the Lord? How are we to send it away to its place?

†[GNT] the people called the priests and the magicians and asked, "What shall we do with the Covenant Box of the Lord? If we send it back where it belongs, what shall we send with it?"

†[NIV]the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners and said, "What shall we do with the ark of the Lord ? Tell us how we should send it back to its place."

本会注释　　祭司和占卜的。约柜留在非利士地七个月。亚实突、迦特和以革伦这三个城市的居民（见撒上5:5-12）遭受了可怕的瘟疫，田地被老鼠蹂躏，庄稼被毁坏（5节）。在古代民族中，老鼠是瘟疫的象征，在埃及的象形文字就是这样表达的。非利士的众首领在绝境中求助于他们的术士。这些“占卜者”研究过自然现象和征兆。他们检查祭牲的内脏——所谓的巴比伦“肝兆”；他们观察鸟的飞翔、辟邪物的落下、花的习性等等。占星家、占卜者、灵媒和巫师们的职责是把万事分为两类，幸运的与不幸的，善的与恶的，吉兆与凶兆。耶和华特别命令祂的百姓不可行占卜术（申18:10-12）。耶和华的一个背道的先知巴兰，应摩押王巴勒的邀请去咒诅以色列时，曾说法术或占卜这类事不能害以色列（民23:23）。但是扫罗显然受了周围民族的影响，因上帝忠告的沉默而绝望，就转向隐多珥的女巫求助（撒上28章）。
　　我们……应当怎样行？。近东的各国中，若不先和术士商议，就连国王也不敢发动一场征战。现今在异教部落中，没有什么人比术士更受敬畏。非利士的首领们认为去请教占卜者是正确的做法，完全符合当时的风俗。

撒上6:3 他们说：“若要将以色列上帝的约柜送回去，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。” (串)利5:15,16

†[吕]他们说：“若要将以色列上帝的柜送走，你们不可空空送去，总要将赔罪礼物还给他，然后能得医好，也能知道他的手为什么没有离开你们。”

†[思]他们回答说：“你们若将以色列天主的约柜送回，不可空空的将它送回，必须奉上赎罪的礼品：这样你们能痊愈，也会明了他的手为什么没有离开你们。”

†[当代]祭司和占卜的建议说：“你们带上礼物，作为赎愆祭，那么传染病就会停止了；你们也知道上帝为什么不饶恕你们了。”

†[新译]他们回答：“你们把以色列　神的约柜送回去的时候，不可空空地把它送回去，却要偿还赔罪的礼物，这样，你们就可以得着医治，也可以知道，为什么他的手没有离开你们。”

†[Wlb]曰、如欲遣以色列上帝之匮、勿使徒去、必献补过之祭、乃可得医、且知其手不离于尔之故、

†[Xdv]他们回答：“如果你们归还以色列上帝的约柜，当然要向他献礼物赔罪，不可只把约柜送回。这样，你们的病就会得到医治，并且知道为什么上帝不断地惩罚你们。”

†[Kjv]And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.

†[Nkjv]So they said, "If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty; but by all means return it to Him with a trespass offering. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why His hand is not removed from you."

†[BBE]And they said, If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it without an offering, but send him a sin-offering with it: then you will have peace again, and it will be clear to you why the weight of his hand has not been lifted from you.

†[GNT] They answered, "If you return the Covenant Box of the God of Israel, you must, of course, send with it a gift to him to pay for your sin. The Covenant Box must not go back without a gift. In this way you will be healed, and you will find out why he has k

†[NIV]They answered, "If you return the ark of the god of Israel, do not send it away empty, but by all means send a guilt offering to him. Then you will be healed, and you will know why his hand has not been lifted from you."

本会注释　　不可空空地送去。祭司和占卜者回答说，不仅要归还约柜，还要以平息对以色列上帝之冒犯的方式归还，并给出祂已经抑制这灾祸的证据。首先需要赔罪的礼物——五个金痔疮和五个金老鼠。在异教国家中，一种常见的风俗就是通过献礼来平息他们众神的愤怒，奉献礼物的形状要象征他们想要脱离的灾难。这与以色列人所得赎愆祭的指示是多么不同啊！如果一个人“在耶和华的圣物上误犯了罪，”他就要将羊群中一只没有残疾的公山羊带给祭司（利5:14-19）。这是除了足额补偿已造成伤害之外要做的，足额补偿不仅包括过失的估价，而且要另加物品价值的五分之一。

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。 (串)书13:3士3:3本章17,18|撒上5:6,9,12

†[吕]非利士人说：“我们要还给他的应当是什么样的赔罪礼物呢？”他们说：“要照非利士人霸主的数目、用五个金鼠疫疱（或译：痔疮）、五个金老鼠，因为你们众人和你们的霸主们都遭遇了一样的疫灾。

†[思]他们问说：“我们应奉上什么赎罪的礼品？”他们回答说：“按照培肋舍特酋长的数目，奉上五个金毒疮像和五个金鼠像，因为你们所有的人和你们的酋长，都遭遇同样的灾祸。

†[当代]领袖就追问说：“我们该送些什么东西作赎愆祭呢？”他们回答说：“你们就送五个金痔疮和五头金鼠吧，因为你们作领袖的和全地各个大城小乡的居民都没有逃过这次厄运。如果你们送上这些礼物，又赞美以色列的上帝，也许祂就会停止对付你们和你们的神了。

†[新译]非利士人问：“我们应当偿给他什么作赔罪的礼物呢？”他们回答：“要按照非利士人各城首领的数目，用五个金痔疮和五只金老鼠作赔罪的礼物，因为你们所有的人和你们各城的首领所遭遇的，都是一样的灾祸。

†[Wlb]曰、补过之祭、当献何物、曰、金制之痔五、金制之鼠五、循非利士牧伯之数、盖尔曹及牧伯、俱罹一灾、

†[Xdv]非利士人问：“我们该送什么礼物呢？”他们回答：“五个金铸的疮疱模型和五只金铸的老鼠。每一个疮疱模型和老鼠代表一个非利士首领，因为同样的瘟疫发生在你们和非利士首领身上。

†[Kjv]Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.

†[Nkjv]Then they said, "What is the trespass offering which we shall return to Him?" They answered, "Five golden tumors and five golden rats, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines. For the same plague was on all of you and on your lords.

†[BBE]Then they said, What sin-offering are we to send to him? And they said, Five gold images of the growths caused by your disease and five gold mice, one for every lord of the Philistines: for the same disease came on you and on your lords.

†[GNT] "What gift shall we send him?" the people asked. They answered, "Five gold models of tumors and five gold mice, one of each for each Philistine king. The same plague was sent on all of you and on the five kings.

†[NIV]The Philistines asked, "What guilt offering should we send to him?" They replied, "Five gold tumors and five gold rats, according to the number of the Philistine rulers, because the same plague has struck both you and your rulers.

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上帝，或者他向你们和你们的神，并你们的田地，把手放轻些。 (串)书7:19|撒上5:6,7,9,11

†[吕]所以要制造你们的鼠疫疱（或译：痔疮）的像、和那毁坏你们的地的老鼠的像；并要将荣耀归与以色列的上帝，或者他的手会向你们跟你们的神和田地放轻些。

†[思]所以你们应制造你们患的毒疮像，和损坏你们地方的老鼠的像，应归光荣于以色列的天主：这样或许他会对你们，对你们的神和你们的地方放松他的手。

†[当代]－

†[新译]所以你们要做痔疮的像和毁坏田地的老鼠的像，还要把荣耀归给以色列的　神。也许他会向你们、你们的神和你们的田地手下留情。

†[Wlb]当作痔形、及害尔田之鼠形、且尊荣以色列之上帝、庶彼轻加其手于尔、及尔神、与尔地、

†[Xdv]你们一定要做这些疮疱模型和那毁坏你们田地的老鼠模型，向以色列的上帝承认你们的罪。这样，说不定他就不再惩罚你们和你们的神明，以及你们的土地了。

†[Kjv]Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.

†[Nkjv]Therefore you shall make images of your tumors and images of your rats that ravage the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel; perhaps He will lighten His hand from you, from your gods, and from your land.

†[BBE]So make images of the growths caused by your disease and of the mice which are damaging your land; and give glory to the God of Israel: it may be that the weight of his hand will be lifted from you and from your gods and from your land.

†[GNT] You must make these models of the tumors and of the mice that are ravaging your country, and you must give honor to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will stop punishing you, your gods, and your land.

†[NIV]Make models of the tumors and of the rats that are destroying the country, and pay honor to Israel's god. Perhaps he will lift his hand from you and your gods and your land.

本会注释　　归荣耀给。就是承认祂消除这些瘟疫的能力，无论瘟疫的原因是什么，求祂医治。并不是所有人都同意祭司的建议。他们的异教信仰带有奴性自私的恐惧；非利士人是忠于大衮的，但因为近来发生的事而害怕以色列的上帝，不知如何摆脱困境。他们想要送走约柜，然而因为掳获它而心中骄傲。归荣耀给上帝就会表现出对大衮的不恭。在认识到创造主的至高能力时，他们不象几百年后尼布甲尼撒所作的那样，放弃自己的崇拜形式。在这次最后的协商之前，他们想过各种权宜之计，例如把约柜从一个城市送到另一个城市。

撒上6:6 你们为何硬着心象埃及人和法老一样呢？上帝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？ (串)出7:13;8:15;9:34,35;10:1

†[吕]你们的心为什么固执、像埃及人和法老那样固执呢？上帝作弄了埃及人，埃及人不是还要把以色列人放走么？

†[思]你们为什么像埃及人和法郎一样心硬呢？不是上主玩弄了他们以后，埃及人放走了他们吗？

†[当代]你们不要像法老和埃及人那样顽固，不等到上帝重重地惩罚他们，总是不肯让以色列人离开。

†[新译]你们为什么要硬着心，像以前埃及人和法老那样呢？　神严严地对付他们以后，他们不是放走了以色列人，以色列人不是真的离开了吗？

†[Wlb]何刚愎乃心、如埃及人与法老之刚愎乎、上帝行奇事于其间、彼岂非释其民、使之往乎、

†[Xdv]你们何苦像埃及王和埃及人那样顽固呢？不要忘了上帝如何对付他们，直到他们准许以色列人离开埃及为止。

†[Kjv]Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?

†[Nkjv]Why then do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When He did mighty things among them, did they not let the people go, that they might depart?

†[BBE]Why do you make your hearts hard, like the hearts of Pharaoh and the Egyptians? When he had made sport of them, did they not let the people go, and they went away?

†[GNT] Why should you be stubborn, as the king of Egypt and the Egyptians were? Don't forget how God made fools of them until they let the Israelites leave Egypt.

†[NIV]Why do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh did? When he treated them harshly, did they not send the Israelites out so they could go on their way?

本会注释　　你们硬着心。占卜者认为必须警告人不要象埃及人那样反抗耶和华，因为继续反抗上帝的旨意只会给他们自己和别人带来更多的痛苦。虽然人们起初不愿接受术士的忠告，但在遭受了几周的痛苦之后，还是被迫接受了。服罪感往往就是这样临到最不愿意接受的人。就象圣灵能通过巴兰讲话一样，祂甚至也通过非利士的占卜者给他们明智的劝告。
　　上帝总是通过人们可以理解的方式方法对人讲话。随后的事件证实了上帝是按照非利士人已经得到的亮光对待他们，而不是按照他们没有的亮光对待他们（见林后8:12）。

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。 (串)撒下6:3|民19:2

†[吕]现在你们要把一辆新车豫备下来，将两只未曾负轭正在喂奶的母牛套在车上，使牛仔离开母牛回家去。

†[思]现今，赶快制造一辆新车，牵出两头正在哺乳，还没有负过轭的母牛来，套上这辆新车，把小牛牵回棚去；

†[当代]现在，你们快去准备一辆新车，把两只刚产下小牛、从没有负过轭的母牛套在车上，然后把它们与小牛隔离。

†[新译]现在你们要预备一辆新车和两头仍在乳养小牛、未曾负过轭的母牛，把它们紧紧套在车上，把小牛从它们身边带回棚里去。

†[Wlb]今当备新车一、未尝负轭、方字之牝牛二、系牛于车、牵犊离之而归、

†[Xdv]所以，你们要预备一辆新车和两头从未负过轭的母牛，把母牛套在车上，把它们的小牛赶回牛栏。

†[Kjv]Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:

†[Nkjv]Now therefore, make a new cart, take two milk cows which have never been yoked, and hitch the cows to the cart; and take their calves home, away from them.

†[BBE]So now, take and make ready a new cart, and two cows which have never come under the yoke, and have the cows yoked to the cart, and take their young ones away from them:

†[GNT] So prepare a new wagon and two cows that have never been yoked; hitch them to the wagon and drive their calves back to the barn.

†[NIV]Now then, get a new cart ready, with two cows that have calved and have never been yoked. Hitch the cows to the cart, but take their calves away and pen them up.

本会注释　　一辆新车。两个动词跟两个宾语。不是说要非利士人要造一辆新车，而是强调它应该是新，还从未用过的。同样，牛也应该是没有训练过，没有负过轭的，象征从未被用于世俗。这是尊敬的标志。基督在进耶路撒冷时骑一只“从来没有人骑过的”驴驹（可11:2）。
　　使牛犊。通过把牛犊和它们的母亲分开，占卜者希望让所有相关的人都满意地确定这灾病是不是由耶和华带来的。如果以色列人的上帝想要祂的约柜回去，祂就会使这些牛做一件不自然的事——自愿地离开它们的牛犊。上帝乐意接受真诚探索之心的试验。

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。 (串)本章3,4,17

†[吕]你们要把永恒主的柜放在车上，将所要还给他做赔罪礼物的金器装在匣子里，放在柜旁、将柜打发走。

†[思]然后把上主的约柜装在车上，把那奉上作为赎罪礼品的金器，都盛在一匣子内，放在约柜旁边，然后让它去。

†[当代]你们要把主的约柜放在车上，又将载著金鼠和金痔疮的箱子放在旁边，然后任由那些牛到它们要去的地方。

†[新译]你们要把耶和华的约柜搬来，放在车上，把那些偿给他作赔罪礼物的金器放在盒子里，放置在约柜旁边，然后把它送上路，让它自己走。

†[Wlb]以耶和华匮、载之于车、以汝所献金器、为补过之祭者、藏于椟中、置之匮旁、遣之而去、

†[Xdv]要把上主的约柜放在车上，旁边另放一个箱子，里面装那些金模型，就是你们赔罪的礼物，然后让牛拉着车走。

†[Kjv]And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.

†[Nkjv]Then take the ark of the LORD and set it on the cart; and put the articles of gold which you are returning to Him as a trespass offering in a chest by its side. Then send it away, and let it go.

†[BBE]And put the ark of the Lord on the cart, and the gold images which you are sending as a sin-offering in a chest by its side; and send it away so that it may go.

†[GNT] Take the Lord's Covenant Box, put it on the wagon, and place in a box beside it the gold models that you are sending to him as a gift to pay for your sins. Start the wagon on its way and let it go by itself.

†[NIV]Take the ark of the Lord and put it on the cart, and in a chest beside it put the gold objects you are sending back to him as a guilt offering. Send it on its way,

本会注释　　装在匣子里。“匣子”（'argaz）在整本《旧约》只出现过这一次。'Argaz一直作为表示大车“车厢”的非利士词汇而为人所知的。非利士人没有打开约柜，也没有看里面的东西（《先祖与先知》589页），比接回约柜的祭司城伯示麦人表现出更大的尊敬。上帝有多少次极为关切地看到名义上的基督徒对神圣的事物没有表显出尊敬啊！有多少次外邦人对超自然现象的态度使基督徒蒙羞啊！这些金礼品似乎是被小心放在某种袋或包里，固定在抬约柜的杠子上或它的罩布上。

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。” (串)书15:10本章12

†[吕]然后看看；它如果按到它境界的路向上伯示麦去，那就是永恒主将这大灾祸降在我们身上的；若不然，我们便可以知道不是他的手击打我们；那是我们偶然遇见的。”

†[思]但你们应留神：若是约柜取道往自己的地方去，即往贝特舍默士去，那么，这大灾难，即是上主加给我们的；若不然，我们就知道，不是他的手打击了我们，而我们所遭遇的是出于偶然。”

†[当代]如果它们走过我们的边境到伯示麦去，你们就知道这些灾害是上帝降给我们的。如果不是，便知道不是祂击打我们，是我们偶然遇见的。”

†[新译]你们要留意看，如果它是走向自己的境界，往伯示麦去，那么就是耶和华降这大灾给我们；如果不是这样，我们就知道，不是他的手攻击我们，我们遭遇的不过是偶然的事。”

†[Wlb]观其匮若由其境之道而行、至伯示麦、则知加重祸于我者、乃耶和华、不然、则知击我者非其手、乃我偶遇之、

†[Xdv]你们要注意车走的方向：如果它朝着伯示麦走，那就是说，这灾祸是以色列的上帝降给我们的；如果不朝那方向走，我们就知道上帝没有降灾，这灾害只是巧合罢了。”

†[Kjv]And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Bethshemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us: it was a chance that happened to us.

†[Nkjv]And watch: if it goes up the road to its own territory, to Beth Shemesh, then He has done us this great evil. But if not, then we shall know that it is not His hand that struck us--it happened to us by chance."

†[BBE]If it goes by the land of Israel to Beth-shemesh, then this great evil is his work; but if not, then we may be certain that the evil was not his doing, but was the working of chance.

†[GNT] Then watch it go; if it goes toward the town of Beth Shemesh, this means that it is the God of the Israelites who has sent this terrible disaster on us. But if it doesn't, then we will know that he did not send the plague; it was only a matter of chance.

†[NIV]but keep watching it. If it goes up to its own territory, toward Beth Shemesh, then the Lord has brought this great disaster on us. But if it does not, then we will know that it was not his hand that struck us and that it happened to us by chance."

本会注释　　伯示麦。直译是“太阳屋。”当以色列人进入时，有几个巴勒斯坦城市都叫伯示麦。据认为其中一座属于以萨迦（书19:22,23），位于现在名为el-`Abeidiyeh的地方，距加利利海只有一小段距离。同名的另一座城属于拿弗他利支派，可能位于加利利海的西北（见书19:38,39；士1:33）。撒上6:9显然指的是同名的第三座城，现名Tell er-Rumeileh，属于犹大支派（书15:10,12），划出来作为犹大的利未城之一（书21:13,16；代上6:59），在便底甲地区（王上4:9；王下14:11,13；代下25:21-23）。这么多地方都叫伯示麦，说明迦南人虔诚地崇拜天体，这里是太阳。同样，迦勒底的吾珥和哈兰则是崇拜月亮的中心。
　　非利士的占卜者既相信伴随着约柜的超自然能力，就安排把它送到以色列最近的祭司城伯示麦去。他们推论说如果这未负过轭的母牛离开它们的牛犊，拉着车直行到这座利未人的要塞。那么约柜，或者更可说是约柜所属于的上帝必定是造成临到他们身上灾病的原因。

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，

†[吕]非利士人就这样行，他们将两只喂奶的母牛套在车上，把牛仔关在家里；

†[思]人们就这样作了；牵出两头正在哺乳的母牛来，套上那辆新车，将牛犊关在棚，

†[当代]于是，他们就照著吩咐准备一切，

†[新译]非利士人就照着去行。他们牵来两头还在乳养小牛的母牛，把它们紧紧套在车上，把小牛关在棚里。

†[Wlb]其人如言而行、取方字之牝牛二、系之于车、禁其犊于家、

†[Xdv]非利士人照着他们说的做了。他们把两头母牛套在车上，把小牛关在栏里，

†[Kjv]And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:

†[Nkjv]Then the men did so; they took two milk cows and hitched them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.

†[BBE]And the men did so; they took two cows, yoking them to the cart and shutting up their young ones in their living-place:

†[GNT] They did what they were told: they took two cows and hitched them to the wagon, and shut the calves in the barn.

†[NIV]So they did this. They took two such cows and hitched them to the cart and penned up their calves.

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。

†[吕]将永恒主的柜放在车上，也放上匣子跟金老鼠和它们的鼠疫疱的像。

†[思]把上主的约柜，以及装有金老鼠和毒疮像的匣子，都放在车上。

†[当代]又把主的约柜和载著金鼠以及金痔疮的箱子放在约柜旁边。

†[新译]他们又把耶和华的约柜，装金老鼠和痔疮像的盒子，都放在车上。

†[Wlb]以耶和华匮、及藏金鼠金痔之形之椟、咸载于车、

†[Xdv]把约柜放在车上，还有那装金老鼠和金疮疱模型的箱子，也放在车上。

†[Kjv]And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.

†[Nkjv]And they set the ark of the LORD on the cart, and the chest with the gold rats and the images of their tumors.

†[BBE]And they put the ark of the Lord on the cart and the chest with the gold images.

†[GNT] They put the Covenant Box in the wagon, together with the box containing the gold models of the mice and of the tumors.

†[NIV]They placed the ark of the Lord on the cart and along with it the chest containing the gold rats and the models of the 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。 (串)民20:19|书15:10;21:16本章9

†[吕]牛在路上、按到伯示麦的路向、在一条大路上直直地走，一面走一面叫，不偏于右，也不偏于左；非利士的霸主们在后面跟着走、直到伯示麦的境界。

†[思]那对母牛直直奔向贝特舍默士的路上走去，一边走，一边叫，不偏左也不偏右；培肋舍特的酋长跟在后面，一直到了贝特舍默士的边境。

†[当代]那些牛一边跑一边叫的，一直跑到伯示麦去；非利士的领袖随著它们，也直跑到伯示麦的边界。

†[新译]牛向着伯示麦的路上直奔，如同走在一条大路上，一面走一面叫，不偏左也不偏右。非利士各城的首领在后面跟着走，直到伯示麦的边界。

†[Wlb]牛径往伯示麦道、行于通衢、且行且鸣、不偏于左、不偏于右、非利士牧伯随之、至伯示麦界、

†[Xdv]母牛在往伯示麦的路上，不偏不倚地一直走去；它们一面走，一面哞哞地叫着。五个非利士人的首领跟着它们，一直走到伯示麦的边境。

†[Kjv]And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Bethshemesh.

†[Nkjv]Then the cows headed straight for the road to Beth Shemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right hand or the left. And the lords of the Philistines went after them to the border of Beth Shemesh.

†[BBE]And the cows took the straight way, by the road to Beth-shemesh; they went by the highway, not turning to the right or to the left, and the sound of their voices was clear on the road; and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the edge of

†[GNT] The cows started off on the road to Beth Shemesh and headed straight toward it, without turning off the road. They were mooing as they went. The five Philistine kings followed them as far as the border of Beth Shemesh.

†[NIV]Then the cows went straight up toward Beth Shemesh, keeping on the road and lowing all the way; they did not turn to the right or to the left. The rulers of the Philistines followed them as far as the border of Beth Shemesh.

本会注释　　直行大道。直接从以革伦通往伯示麦的大道。唯有超自然的能力才能使这两只牛直行在大道上。非利士的首领们并没有驱赶它们，而是“跟在它们后面”。这两只牛从来没有负过轭（7节），证明它们从前没有上过路。
　　对于崇拜大衮的人来说，还有什么比这有更大的说服力呢？连没有说话能力的动物都会逆着本性随从那看不见的向导，为什么赋有智力的人却不能逆着本性的骄傲和民族和传统，顺从那能抑制瘟疫和鼠患的一位呢？为什么巴兰不能象他的驴那样轻易地看到耶和华的使者挡在路上呢？在那恶者催眠的影响之下，现今人们只看撒但愿意他们去看的，很少认识到眼前就站立着一位，祂乐于并急于解开紧紧捆琐着他们的镣铐。

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。

†[吕]伯示麦人正在山谷中收割麦子；他们一举目，就看见约柜，并且欢欢喜喜地观看着。

†[Nkjv]Now the people of Beth Shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.

†[BBE]And the people of Beth-shemesh were cutting their grain in the valley, and lifting up their eyes they saw the ark and were full of joy when they saw it.

†[GNT] The people of Beth Shemesh were reaping wheat in the valley, when suddenly they looked up and saw the Covenant Box. They were overjoyed at the sight.

†[NIV]Now the people of Beth Shemesh were harvesting their wheat in the valley, and when they looked up and saw the ark, they rejoiced at the sight.

本会注释　　收割麦子。因为收割麦子是在一年的春季，在逾越节和五旬节之间，并且因为约柜曾在非利士人手中七个月，所以约柜被掳的战役发生在秋季，约在住棚节的时候。因而许多人可能在示罗过节并帮助保卫以色列反对侵略者。非利士人获胜后，他们可能各自逃回了在不同支派的家中（见撒上4:10）。
　　伯示麦人正在田里收割麦子，可能是用巴勒斯坦现今所用的镰刀和耙子。城镇本身并没有田园。田地是分开的，不是用篱笆，而是用小的石界或标志。不熟悉地点的人就说不出一块地是到那儿为止，另一块地是从哪儿开始的。

本会注释　　一块大磐石。在约书亚的田里，可能靠近大路。母牛在这块大磐石旁边停住了。伯示麦是利未人的一座城，它的居民有照顾约柜的权利和义务。因为没有帐幕，利未人就把神圣的约柜与非利士人赔罪的礼物一起放在这块大磐石上，并把母牛作为燔祭献给耶和华。伯示麦在示非拉或丘陵地带的中心，大道穿过山谷的中心，所以可能这块大磐石从丘陵这一面凸出来，高出大道几米。

本会注释　　回以革伦去了。这是多么令非利士人扫兴的结局啊！他们目睹了大衮在亚实突庙中降伏于耶和华。他们目睹了将约柜送回犹大时母牛所受的超自然引导。他们还目睹了上帝停止了瘟疫,治愈了他们。虽然对他们那天所看到的奇异的事感到满意，他们还是返回到他们的神和他们的百姓那里去了。

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。 (串)申3:5|本章14,15

本会注释　　亚伯大磐石。直译是“他们安放耶和华的约柜的伟大的亚伯。”“石”是后加的。大多数注释者认为'abel应该是'eben（“石头”）。'abel来自动词'abal（“哀悼”），但也有“河流，”“小溪”或“草地”的意思。除了用在表示不同城市的复合名词，如亚伯伯玛迦（王下15:29）、亚伯玛音（代下16:4）等之外，它在别处只出现过一次。在士11:33中译为另一座城市的名字“亚备勒基拉明”，意为“葡萄园的平原”。在本节中'abel并没有与别的词结合，而是“大”所修饰的。14和15节是指安放约柜的大'eben（“石头”）,17和18节叙述的是这一事件的纪念物，所以似乎证明约书亚田间的这块石头只是随着这些别的纪念物而著名的。

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。 (串)出19:21民4:20|撒下6:7

†[吕]但是耶哥尼雅的儿子们看见永恒主的柜时候不和伯示麦人一同欢乐，永恒主就击杀了他们七十个人（以下有‘有五万人’数字不译）；因为永恒主大大击杀了众民，众民就哀悼。

†[思]当贝特舍默士人看见上主的约柜时，耶苛尼雅的子孙没有与他们一起表示欢乐，所以上主击杀了他们中七十人。百姓就难受，因为上主这样严厉打击了百姓。

†[当代]那一天，主击杀了七十个伯示麦人，因为他们窥看约柜的里面。民众为著被主所击杀的人哀恸不已，

†[新译]耶和华因为伯示麦人偷窥他的约柜，就击杀他们；他击杀了七十人（“七十人”大多数抄本都作“五万零七十人”，少数抄本作“七十人”）。众人因为耶和华用大灾击杀他们，就哀哭起来。

†[Wlb]伯示麦人窥耶和华匮、耶和华击之、死者七十、其人计有五万、民因耶和华大行杀戮而悲、

†[Xdv]上主击杀了七十个伯示麦人，因为他们窥探约柜。居民因上主在他们当中杀了那么多人都很哀伤。

†[Kjv]And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.

†[Nkjv]Then He struck the men of Beth Shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD. He struck fifty thousand and seventy men of the people, and the people lamented because the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter.

†[BBE]But the Lord sent destruction on seventy men of the people of Beth-shemesh for looking into the ark of the Lord; and great was the sorrow of the people for the destruction which the Lord had sent on them.

†[GNT] The Lord killed seventy of the men of Beth Shemesh because they looked inside the Covenant Box. And the people mourned because the Lord had caused such a great slaughter among them.

†[NIV]But God struck down some of the men of Beth Shemesh, putting seventy of them to death because they had looked into the ark of the Lord . The people mourned because of the heavy blow the Lord had dealt them,

本会注释　　擅观。手不敬的触摸或眼不敬的观看都会遭受严重的后果（见民4:20）。摩西被拒绝进入迦南地是因为他没能严格顺从上帝的吩咐。即使作为祭司，拿达和亚比户还是因为他们的不敬付上了生命的代价。
　　五万人。直译是“七十人，五万人”。希伯来文中这里没有连接词“和”。与正常的希伯来句法相反，较小的数字在前面。这种特别的语序使本节很难翻译。有人建议译为：“祂击杀了七十人；一千人中的五十人”，或“祂击杀了五万人中的七十人。”三份著名的希伯来文手稿省略了“五万人”。在士6:15中，'eleph（“千”）译为“家。”可能这里也该被译为“家”。假如这样的话，这句话就译为“祂击杀了五十家的七十人。”大多数注释者都同意只有70个伯示麦人被击杀。然而在象伯示麦这样的小城，即使这样也是一个可怕的灾难了。当然非利士人会听到这件事，更证明上帝认同他们没有擅观约柜并对约柜表示的尊敬。

†[当代]他们号叫：“哪一个能在圣洁的主上帝面前站立得住呢？我们应当把约柜送到哪里去呢？”

†[新译]伯示麦人说：“在耶和华这位圣洁的　神面前，谁能站立得住呢？他可以从我们这里上到哪里去呢？”

†[Wlb]伯示麦人曰、此维圣之上帝耶和华、孰能立于其前、彼离我、当何往、

†[Xdv]伯示麦人说：“在上主这位神圣的上帝面前，谁能站得住呢？我们能送他到哪里去、使他远离我们呢？”

†[Kjv]And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?

†[Nkjv]And the men of Beth Shemesh said, "Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? And to whom shall it go up from us?"

†[BBE]And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to keep his place before the Lord, this holy God? and to whom may he go from us?

†[GNT] So the men of Beth Shemesh said, "Who can stand before the Lord, this holy God? Where can we send him to get him away from us?"

†[吕]于是打发使者去见基列耶琳的居民，说：“非利士人将永恒主的柜送回来了；你们下来，将柜接上你们那里去吧。”

†[思]他们遂派使者到克黎雅特耶阿陵的居民那，对他们说：“培肋舍特人送回了上主的约柜，你们下来，将它抬上去，放在你们那。”

†[当代]后来，他们就打发使者到基列耶琳那里，告诉他们说：“非利士人已经把主的约柜送回来了，你们把它领回来吧。”

†[新译]于是他们派遣使者到基列耶琳的居民那里去，对他们说：“非利士人把耶和华的约柜送回来了。你们下来把它接到你们那里去吧。”

†[NIV]Then they sent messengers to the people of Kiriath Jearim, saying, "The Philistines have returned the ark of the Lord . Come down and take it up to your place."

本会注释　　基列耶琳。直译是“森林之城。”这是耶利哥被毁灭之后寻求约书亚保护的基遍人的城池之一（书9:17）。它被列在犹大的产业之中（书15:9），位于靠近耶路撒冷的西面山坡，距伯示麦约14.4公里。给基列耶琳城的信暗示人们感到约柜离非利士人越远，就越安全。基列耶琳，处于山间较高的位置，比较低丘陵地带的城池会更易于防卫敌人的进攻。
