< 撒母耳記上 14 >
1 有一天,撒烏耳的兒子約納堂對他執戟的侍衛說:「來,我們到對面,到培肋舍特人的前哨那裏去。」但他沒有通知他父親。
And it was the day and he said Jonathan [the] son of Saul to the young man [the] bearer of armor his come! so let us pass over to [the] garrison of [the] Philistines which [is] from [the] other side of this and to father his not he told.
2 當時撒烏耳正在革巴邊界,坐在禾場旁的石榴樹下,隨從他的部隊約有六百人。
And Saul [was] remaining at [the] edge of Gibeah under pomegranate tree which [is] in Migron and the people which [was] with him [was] about six hundred man.
3 阿希突的兒子阿希雅帶著「厄弗得。」──阿希突布是丕乃哈斯的兒子,依加波得的兄弟,丕乃哈斯是在史羅作上主司祭的厄里的兒子。──人都不知道約納堂走了。
And Ahijah [the] son of Ahitub [the] brother of Ichabod - [the] son of Phinehas [the] son of Eli [the] priest of - Yahweh in Shiloh [was] bearing an ephod and the people not it knew that he had gone Jonathan.
4 約納堂打算由隘口過到培肋舍特人的前哨那裏去,在隘口兩面各有一座石峰:一名叫波責茲,一名叫色乃;
And [were] between the passes which he sought Jonathan to pass over to [the] garrison of [the] Philistines [the] tooth of the rock from the other side from this and [the] tooth of the rock from the other side from this and [the] name of the one [was] Bozez and [the] name of the one [was] Seneh.
5 一座朝北,與米革瑪斯相對,一座朝南,與革巴相對。
The tooth the one a pillar [was] from [the] north opposite to Micmash and the one [tooth] [was] from [the] south opposite to Geba.
6 約納堂於是對他執戟的侍衛說:「來,我們往這些未受割損者的前哨去,也許上主會幫助我們;上主要叫人得勝,並不在手人數多少。
And he said Jonathan to the young man - [the] bearer of armor his come! so let us pass over to [the] garrison of the uncircumcised [men] these perhaps he will act Yahweh for us for not [belongs] to Yahweh a limitation to save by many or by few.
7 那給他執戟的人答說:「你儘可隨意行事,我只跟著你,隨你心意而行。」
And he said to him [the] bearer of armor his do all that [is] in heart your turn aside for yourself here I [am] with you according to heart your.
8 約納堂說:「來,我們到那裏去,讓他們看見我們。
And he said Jonathan here! we [are] about to pass over to the men and we will reveal ourselves to them.
9 假使他們對我們說:住下! 等我們到你們那裏去。我們就站在我們所在的地方,不再上他們那裏去;
If thus they will say to us be still until reach we you and we will remain in place our and not we will go up to them.
10 如果他們說:你們上我們這裏來罷! 我們就上去,因為上主已把他們交在我們手中了:這為我們是個先兆。」
And if thus they will say come up to us and we will go up for he has given them Yahweh in hand our and this for us [will be] the sign.
11 兩人就突然出現在培肋舍特人的前哨處,培肋舍特人說:「看,這些希伯來人從他們隱藏的山洞中出來了。」
And they revealed themselves [the] two of them to [the] garrison of [the] Philistines and they said [the] Philistines here! Hebrews [are] coming out from the holes where they have hidden themselves there.
12 前哨的哨兵就對約納堂和給他執戟的人說:「你們上到我們這裏來罷! 我們有事要告訴你們。」約納堂就對給他執戟的人說:「你跟我上來,因為上主已將他們交在以色列人手中了。」
And they answered [the] men of the garrison Jonathan - and [the] bearer of armor his and they said come up to us so let us make known to you something. And he said Jonathan to [the] bearer of armor his come up after me for he has given them Yahweh in [the] hand of Israel.
13 約納堂遂用手用腳往上爬,給他執戟的跟在他後面。培肋舍特人忽在約納堂前轉身要走,他就向前擊殺他們,他的執戟者也隨著擊殺。
And he went up Jonathan on hands his and on feet his and [the] bearer of armor his [was] behind him and they fell before Jonathan and [the] bearer of armor his [was] killing behind him.
14 約納堂和他的執戟者第一次殺死了約有二十人,陳屍於半畝田間。
And it was the slaughter first which he struck down Jonathan and [the] bearer of armor his about twenty man about in half of a furrow an acre of a field.
15 當時在營中和陣地上都起了恐慌,全軍──前哨與突擊隊都大為震驚;地也起了震動,到處籠罩著無限的恐怖。
And it was trembling in the camp in the field and among all the people the garrison and the destroyer they trembled also they and it quaked the earth and it became a trembling of God.
16 撒烏耳的哨兵從本雅明的革巴眺望,看見敵營大亂;
And they saw the watchmen of Saul at Gibeah of Benjamin and there! the multitude it melted away and it went and here.
17 撒烏耳就對隨從他的人說:「檢查一下,看我們中有誰去了。」他們檢查後,見約納堂和給他執戟的人不在了。
And he said Saul to the people which [was] with him muster please and see who? has he gone from with us and they mustered and there! there not [were] Jonathan and [the] bearer of armor his.
18 撒烏耳隊對阿希雅說:「拿天主的「厄弗得」來! 」因為那時正是他在以色列子民前帶著天主的「厄弗得。」
And he said Saul to Ahijah bring near! [the] ark of God for it was [the] ark of God on the day that and [the] people of Israel.
19 撒烏耳還同司祭說話時,培肋舍特人營中的混亂愈來愈大,撒烏耳就對司祭說:「收回你的手去! 」
And it was until he spoke Saul to the priest and the tumult which [was] in [the] camp of [the] Philistines and it went continuously and great. And he said Saul to the priest withdraw hand your.
20 撒烏耳和跟隨他的軍民遂集合起來,衝入戰場;看,培肋舍特人竟自相殘殺,陷入混亂。
And he was called together Saul and all the people which [was] with him and they went to the battle and there! it was [the] sword of each man in neighbor his panic [was] great very.
21 以前服事培肋舍特人,與他們齊來參戰的希伯來人,忽然反正來協助撒烏耳和約納堂一起的以色列人。
And the Hebrews they [who] were [belonging] to the Philistines as yesterday three days ago who they had gone up with them in the camp all around and also they to be with Israel which [was] with Saul and Jonathan.
22 那藏在厄弗辣因山地的以色列人,聽說培肋舍特人潰敗了,也都出來參戰,乘勢追趕。
And every person of Israel who had hidden themselves in [the] hill country of Ephraim they heard that they had fled [the] Philistines and they pursued closely also they after them in the battle.
23 這樣上主在那一天拯救了以色列人;戰爭一直蔓延到貝特曷龍。【跟隨撒烏耳的人約有一萬,戰事蔓延到厄弗辣因整個山地。】
And he delivered Yahweh on the day that Israel and the battle it passed beyond Beth Aven.
24 以色列人那天很是疲乏,因為撒烏耳在那天做了一件糊塗事,要軍民發誓說:「誰直到晚上,在我向敵人復仇以前,吃了什麼東西,是可咒罵的。」所以全軍民都沒有嘗過食物。
And [the] man of Israel he was hard pressed on the day that and he had put under oath Saul the people saying [be] cursed the person who he will eat food until the evening and I will avenge myself from enemies my and not it tasted all the people food.
And all the land they went in the forest and it was honey on [the] surface of the field.
26 軍民到了蜂巢旁,見有蜜流出,但卻沒有人敢用手取一點放在嘴裏,因為軍民都怕違犯所起的誓。
And it came the people into the forest and there! a flowing of honey and there not [was one who] reached hand his to mouth his for it feared the people the oath.
27 可是約納堂沒有聽見他父親要軍民起的誓,所以把他手中所持的棍尖,插入蜂巢內,用手送到自己的嘴裏,他的眼立即明亮了。
And Jonathan not he had heard when made to swear an oath father his the people and he stretched out [the] end of the staff which [was] in hand his and he dipped it in [the] honeycomb of the honey and he brought back hand his to mouth his (and they brightened *Q(K)*) eyes his.
28 軍民中有一個向他說:「你父親要軍民起誓說:今天誰嘗了食物,他是可咒罵的。──雖然軍民很是疲乏。」
And he answered a person from the people and he said certainly he made to swear an oath father your the people saying [be] cursed the person who he will eat food this day and it was weary the people.
29 約納堂答說:「我父親使國家受了害;你們看,嘗了一點蜜,我的眼睛是多麼明亮!
And he said Jonathan he has troubled father my the land see please that they brightened eyes my for I tasted a little of honey this.
30 的確,假使今天人能吃飽由敵人奪來的東西,培肋舍特人吃的敗仗,豈不更大嗎﹖」
Indeed? for certainly [if] it had eaten this day the people any of [the] plunder of enemies its which it found for now not it has been great defeat among the Philistines.
31 那一天他們擊殺培肋舍特人,從米革瑪斯直到阿雅隆,軍民都很疲乏。
And they defeated on the day that the Philistines from Micmash Aijalon towards and it was weary the people exceedingly.
32 所以人民就急忙搶掠財物,奪取牛羊、牛犢,隨地宰殺,吃了帶血的肉。
(And it rushed *Q(K)*) the people to (the plunder *Q(K)*) and they took sheep and cattle and [the] young of cattle and they slaughtered [them] [the] ground towards and it ate [them] the people with the blood.
33 有人告訴撒烏耳說:「看,人民吃了帶血的肉,得罪了上主。」撒烏耳一聽這消息便說:「你們把一塊大石頭滾到我這邊來。」
And people told to Saul saying there! the people [are] sinning to Yahweh by eating with the blood and he said you have acted treacherously roll to me this day a stone great.
34 又說:「你們散在百姓中,對他們說:你們各人把自己得的牛或羊,牽到我這裏來,在這裏宰殺分食,不要吃帶血的肉,得罪上主。」於是人們當夜將自己得的牛羊牽來,在那裏祭殺了。
And he said Saul be scattered among the people and you will say to them bring near to me each one ox his and each one sheep his and you will slaughter [it] in this [place] and you will eat [it] and not you will sin to Yahweh by eating with the blood and they brought near all the people each one ox his in hand his this night and they slaughtered [it] there.
35 撒烏耳給上主建築了一座祭壇,這是他給上主建立的第一座祭壇。
And he built Saul an altar to Yahweh it he began to build an altar to Yahweh.
36 以後撒烏耳說:「我們今夜下去追擊培肋舍特人,劫掠他們直到天明,不給他們留下一人。」軍民回答說:「你看著怎樣好,就怎樣作罷! 」司祭卻說:「我們先得去天主那裏。」
And he said Saul let us go down after [the] Philistines - night and let us plunder them - until [the] light of the morning and not we will leave among them anyone and people said all the good in view your do. And he said the priest let us draw near here to God.
37 撒烏耳遂求問天主說:「我可下去追擊培肋舍特人嗎﹖你將他們交在以色列手中嗎﹖」但是天主那天沒有回答他。
And he enquired Saul by God ¿ will I go down after [the] Philistines ¿ will you give them in [the] hand of Israel and not he answered him on the day that.
38 撒烏耳說:「軍民的將領,你們上前來,查看一下,今天是誰犯了罪﹖
And he said Saul draw near here O all [the] corners of the people and know and see how? has it happened the sin this this day.
39 我指拯救以色列的上主起誓,即是罪在我的兒子約納堂,他也該死。」軍民中沒有一人敢回答。
For [by] [the] life of Yahweh who delivers Israel for except there it [is] in Jonathan son my for certainly he will die and not [was] answering him any of all the people.
40 於是他對全以色列說:「你們站在一邊,我與我兒子約納堂站在一邊。」全軍民對撒烏耳說:「你看怎樣好,就怎樣作罷! 」
And he said to all Israel you you will be to a side one and I and Jonathan son my we will be to a side one and they said the people to Saul the good in view your do.
41 撒烏耳說:「上主,以色列的天主! 為什麼今天你不答覆你的僕人﹖若是這罪過在我或我兒子約納堂身上,上主,以色列的天主,求你賜給『烏陵;』若是罪過在你百姓以色列身上,求你賜給『突明』。」撒烏耳和約納堂中了,軍民清白無過。
And he said Saul to Yahweh [the] God of Israel (why? not you did answer servant your the day if there in me or in Jonathan son my the iniquity this Yahweh [the] God [of] Israel give! Urim and if is it the iniquity this in people your [of] Israel *X*) give! Thummim and he was taken by lot Jonathan and Saul and the people they went out.
42 撒烏耳下命說:「為我和我的兒子約納堂拈鬮。」約納堂中了。
And he said Saul make fall between me and between Jonathan son my and he was taken by lot Jonathan.
43 撒烏耳於是對約納堂說:「告訴我,你作了什麼﹖」約納堂就告訴他說:「我不過用手持的棍尖,蘸了一點蜂蜜吃;我在這裏,我該死。」
And he said Saul to Jonathan tell! to me what? have you done and he told to him Jonathan and he said certainly I tasted with [the] end of the staff which [was] in hand my a little of honey here I I will die.
44 撒烏耳回答說:「約納堂,你必須死,不然,願天主罰我該死。」
And he said Saul thus may he do God and thus may he add for certainly you will die O Jonathan.
45 軍民卻對撒烏耳說:「約納堂在以色列中得了這樣偉大的勝利,豈該死嗎﹖萬萬不能! 我們指著上主起誓:他頭上的一根頭髮,也不應落在地上,因為他今天是倚賴天主行事。」這樣軍民救了約納堂不死,
And it said the people to Saul ¿ Jonathan - will he die who he has done the deliverance great this in Israel far be it [by] [the] life of Yahweh if it will fall one of [the] hair[s] of head his [the] ground towards for with God he has acted the day this and they redeemed the people Jonathan and not he died.
46 撒烏耳遂上去,不再追趕培肋舍特人;培肋舍特人也回了本地。
And he went up Saul from after [the] Philistines and [the] Philistines they went to own place their.
47 撒烏耳取得了以色列的王權後,便向四周所有的敵人進攻:他攻打了摩阿布、阿孟子民、厄東、貝特勒曷、祚巴的君王和培肋舍特人。他不論走到那裏,常獲得勝利。
And Saul he had taken the kingship over Israel and he waged war all around - against all enemies his against Moab - and against [the] people of Ammon and against Edom and against [the] kings of Zobah and against the Philistines and in every where he turned he acted wickedly.
48 他很英勇,擊敗了阿瑪肋克,拯救以色列人脫離來搶掠的人。
And he did strength and he defeated Amalek and he delivered Israel from [the] hand of [those who] plundered it.
49 撒烏耳的兒子是:約納堂、依市偉和瑪耳基叔亞;他有兩個女兒:長女名叫默辣布,次女名叫米加耳。
And they were [the] sons of Saul Jonathan and Ishvi and Malki-Shua and [the] name of [the] two daughters his [the] name of the firstborn [was] Merab and [the] name of the young [one] [was] Michal.
50 撒烏耳的妻子名叫阿希諾罕,是阿希瑪茲的女兒。他的元帥名叫阿貝乃爾,是撒烏耳的叔父乃爾的兒子。
And [the] name of [the] wife of Saul [was] Ahinoam [the] daughter of Ahimaaz and [the] name of [the] commander of army his [was] Abner [the] son of Ner [the] uncle of Saul.
51 撒烏耳的父親克士和阿貝乃爾的父親乃爾是阿彼耳的兒子。
And Kish [was] [the] father of Saul and Ner [the] father of Abner [was] [the] son of Abiel.
52 撒烏耳一生同培肋舍特人常發生激烈戰爭,撒烏耳見到任何勇敢善戰的人,就叫他來跟隨自己。
And it was the war severe on [the] Philistines all [the] days of Saul and he saw Saul every man mighty and every son of strength and he gathered him to himself.
