- 說、我主我王為何來到僕人這裡呢。大衛說、我要買你這禾場、為耶和華築一座壇、使民間的瘟疫止住。
- 亞勞拿對大衛說、我主我王、你喜悅用甚麼、就拿去獻祭.看哪、這裡有牛、可以作燔祭、有打糧的器具、和套牛的軛、可以當柴燒。
- 王阿、這一切我亞勞拿都奉給你.又對王說、願耶和華你的 神悅納你。
- 王對亞勞拿說、不然.我必要按著價值向你買、我不肯用白得之物作燔祭、獻給耶和華我的 神。大衛就用五十舍客勒銀子、買了那禾場與牛。
- 大衛在那裡為耶和華築了一座壇、獻燔祭和平安祭。如此耶和華垂聽國民所求的、瘟疫在以色列人中就止住了。

- Then Araunah said, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" And David said, "To buy the threshing floor from you, in order to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be held back from the people."
- Araunah said to David, "Let my lord the king take and offer up what is good in his sight. Look, the oxen for the burnt offering, the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood.
- "Everything, O king, Araunah gives to the king." And Araunah said to the king, "May the LORD your God accept you."
- However, the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price, for I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing " So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
- David built there an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Thus the LORD was moved by prayer for the land, and the plague was held back from Israel.
