歷代志上 14
1 [建造王宮]提洛王希蘭派使臣來見達味，給他送來香柏木，派來石匠和木工，為他建宮室。
And Huram king of Tyre sendeth messengers unto David, and cedar-wood, and artificers of walls, and artificers of wood, to build to him a house.
2 那時達味知道上主已確定他為以色列王，並為了自己的百姓以色列，提高了他的王位。[達味的子女]
And David knoweth that Jehovah hath established him for king over Israel, because of the lifting up on high of his kingdom, for the sake of His people Israel.
3 達味在耶路撒冷又娶了妻室，生了許多子女。
And David taketh again wives in Jerusalem, and David begetteth again sons and daughters;
4 達味在耶路撒冷所生兒子的名字如下：沙慕亞、芍巴布、納堂、撒羅滿、
and these [are] the names of the children whom he hath in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 依貝哈爾、厄里叔亞、厄里培肋特、
and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
6 諾加、乃費格、雅非亞、
and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 厄里沙瑪、貝里雅達和厄里培肋特。[擊敗培肋舍特]
and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
8 培肋舍特人聽說達味受傅，為全以色列王，遂都上來向達味尋釁。達味聽說，便出來迎擊。
And the Philistines hear that David hath been anointed for king over all Israel, and all the Philistines go up to seek David, and David heareth, and goeth out before them.
9 培肋舍特人上來侵入了勒法因平原。
And the Philistines have come, and rush into the valley of Rephaim,
10 那時，達味求問天主說：「我可以上去攻打培肋舍特人嗎﹖你將他們交在我手中嗎﹖」上主答應他說：「你上去，我必將他們交在你手中。」
and David asketh of God, saying, 'Do I go up against the Philistines — and hast Thou given them into my hand?' And Jehovah saith to him, 'Go up, and I have given them into thy hand.'
11 達味於是上到巴耳培辣親，在那裏擊敗了他們。達味因此說：「天主假我的手使我的敵人崩潰，如水破堤。」因此後人稱這地方為巴耳培辣親。
And they go up into Baal-Perazim, and David smiteth them there, and David saith, 'God hath broken up mine enemies by my hand, like the breaking up of waters;' therefore they have called the name of that place Baal-Perazim.
12 培肋舍特人把自己的神像都遺棄在那裏，達味命人用火燒毀。
And they leave there their gods, and David speaketh, and they are burnt with fire.
13 培肋舍特人又侵入平原。
And the Philistines add again, and rush into the valley,
14 達味又求問天主，天主對他說：「不要一直上去追擊他們，要繞到他們後方，曾桑林那邊抄他們的後路。
and David asketh again of God, and God saith to him, 'Do not go up after them, turn round from them, and thou hast come to them from over-against the mulberries;
15 你一聽見桑樹梢上有腳步聲，要即刻出戰，因為天主在你面前出擊培肋舍特人的軍隊。」
and it cometh to pass, when thou hearest the sound of the stepping at the heads of the mulberries, then thou goest out into battle, for God hath gone out before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.'
16 達味就照天主所命的行了，擊殺培肋舍特人的軍隊，由基貝紅直到革則爾。
And David doth as God commanded him, and they smite the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even unto Gazer;
17 因此，達味的聲名傳遍了各地，上主使各民族都害怕他。
and the name of David goeth out into all the lands, and Jehovah hath put his fear on all the nations.
