押沙龍對約押說：『你看，我打發人來見你、說：「請到我這裏來，我好打發你去見王、說：『我從基述回來為的甚麼？不如仍在那裏倒好啊。』現在請讓我見王的面吧；我若有甚麼罪愆，任憑王把我殺死好啦。」』

押沙龙回答约押说：“我打发人去请你来，好托你去见王，替我说：‘我为何从基述回来呢？不如仍在那里。’现在要许我见王的面；我若有罪，任凭王杀我就是了。”

押沙龙对约押说：“看哪，我派人去请你来，好托你到王那里去，说：‘我为何从基述回来呢？我仍在那里比较好。’现在让我去见王的面；我若有罪孽，就任凭王杀了我吧。”

押沙龙对约押说：“看哪，我派人去请你来，好托你到王那里去，说：‘我为何从基述回来呢？我仍在那里比较好。’现在让我去见王的面；我若有罪孽，就任凭王杀了我吧。”

押沙龙答道：“我派人请你来，希望你替我去问王，‘我为什么要从基述回来呢？倒不如仍然留在那里。’现在我要见王，如果我有什么罪过，就让他杀了我吧！”

押沙龙回答约押：“看哪，我派人去见你，说：‘请你到这里来，我要托你去见王，替我说：“我为什么从基述回来呢？我若是还留在那边，会觉得更好。”’现在，我要见王的面，如果我有罪，任由他把我杀死好了。”

押沙龍回答約押說：「我打發人去請你來，好託你去見王，替我說：『我為何從基述回來呢？不如仍在那裏。』現在要許我見王的面；我若有罪，任憑王殺我就是了。」

押沙龍對約押說：「看哪，我派人去請你來，好託你到王那裏去，說：『我為何從基述回來呢？我仍在那裏比較好。』現在讓我去見王的面；我若有罪孽，就任憑王殺了我吧。」

押沙龍曰、我遣人召爾至此、欲使爾覲王曰、吾自基述而歸何為、不如仍居於彼、今請許我覿王面、如我有咎、王可殺我、

押沙龍曰、我遣使邀爾至此、欲爾覲王、以我意告之曰、我自其述至此何為、弗如仍居於彼、今盍許我入覲、如我有咎請王加誅焉。

押沙龍對約押曰、我遣人召爾來、欲爾往覲王、為我告王、曰、我自基述歸、何益之有、不如我仍居於彼、今我欲覿王面、我若有罪、任王殺我、

Absalom said to Joab,“ Look, I sent word to you and said,‘ Come here so I can send you to the king to ask,“ Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me if I were still there!”’ Now then, I want to see the king’s face, and if I am guilty of anything, let him put me to death.”

Absalom said to Joab,“ I sent a message to you. I said,‘ Come here. I want to send you to the king. I want you to ask him for me,“ Why did you bring me back from Geshur? I would be better off if I were still there!” ’ Now then, I want to go and see the king. If I’m guilty of doing anything wrong, let him put me to death.”

Absalom answered Joab,“ Behold, I sent word to you,‘ Come here, that I may send you to the king, to ask,“ Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still.” Now therefore let me go into the presence of the king, and if there is guilt in me, let him put me to death.’”

And Absalom replied,“ Because I wanted you to ask the king why he brought me back from Geshur if he didn’t intend to see me. I might as well have stayed there. Let me see the king; if he finds me guilty of anything, then let him kill me.”

“ Look,” Absalom explained to Joab,“ I sent for you and said,‘ Come here. I want to send you to the king to ask: Why have I come back from Geshur? I’d be better off if I were still there.’ So now, let me see the king. If I am guilty, let him kill me.”

Absalom answered Joab,“ Behold, I sent for you, saying,‘ Come here, so that I may send you to the king, to say,“ Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me still to be there.” ’ Now then, let me see the king’s face, and if there is guilt in me, he can have me executed.”

And Absalom answered Joab,“ Look, I sent to you, saying,‘ Come here, so that I may send you to the king, to say,“ Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still.”’ Now therefore, let me see the king’s face; but if there is iniquity in me, let him execute me.”

And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it were better for me to be there still. Now therefore let me see the king’s face; and if there be iniquity in me, let him kill me.

“ Look,” Absalom explained to Joab,“ I sent for you and said,‘ Come here. I want to send you to the king to ask: Why have I come back from Geshur? I’d be better off if I were still there.’ So now, let me see the king. If I am guilty, let him kill me.”

And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur?[ it had been] good for me[ to have been] there still: now therefore let me see the king’s face; and if there be[ any] iniquity in me, let him kill me.

Absalom said to Joab,“ Look, I sent a message to you saying,‘ Come here so that I can send you to the king with this message:“ Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me if I were still there.”’ Let me now see the face of the king. If I am at fault, let him put me to death!”

Absalom answered Joab,“ Behold, I sent to you, saying,‘ Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say,“ Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still. Now therefore let me see the king’s face, and if there is iniquity in me, let him kill me.”’”

遮掩自己罪過的、必不能順利；承認罪過並離棄的、必蒙憐憫。

求你以忠愛待僕人；因為你曾使僕人在永恆主面前同你結約。我若有甚麼罪愆，你自己儘管把我殺死；為甚麼要這樣將我帶交你父親呢？』

我們在埃及豈沒有對你說過：「不要管我們，容我們去服事埃及人」麼？「服事埃及人、比死在曠野還好呀！」』

人民在那裏渴得要水喝，就向摩西發怨言說：『你這個人為甚麼將我們從埃及領出來，要使我們和兒女跟牲畜都渴死呢？』

以色列人對他們說：『巴不得我們在埃及地早死在永恆主手裏；那時我們坐在肉鍋旁邊，喫餅喫到飽飽地，你們竟將我們領出來、到這曠野，要叫這全體大眾都餓死啊！』

那人說：『你所賜給我、和我同居的女人，她把那樹上的果子給了我，我就喫了。』

你雖用鹼、多用肥皂、去洗濯，你罪孽的污漬仍顯在我面前：這是主永恆主發神諭說的。你怎能說：「我沒有被沾污，我沒有隨從眾巴力」呢？看你的路在平谷中，就知道你所作的是甚麼——嘿，一隻迅速輕快的獨峰駝！狂奔亂闖，跑道交錯！

那時他們也必回答說：「主啊，我們甚麼時候見你餓了，或渴了，或做旅客，或赤着身子，或病了，或在監裏，沒有服事你呢？」

撒母耳到了掃羅那裏，掃羅對他說：『願你蒙永恆主賜福；永恆主吩咐的話、我已經實行了。』

我們曉得、律法無論說甚麼，都是向律法以內的人講的，好堵住每一個人的口，使全世界的人都伏在上帝審判之下；

他們行了可厭惡的事、覺得慚愧麼？不，他們一點也不慚愧，也不知羞恥；因此他們必在仆倒的人中間仆倒；我察罰他們時、他們必致傾覆：這是永恆主說的。

因為罪過老是諂媚着他，故此在他看來他的罪孽總不能被查出、被恨惡。
