大卫祷告 神说:「吩咐数点百姓的不是我么?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。」
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.
