< 撒母耳記上 22 >
1 達味離開,逃到了阿杜藍山洞;他的兄弟和父親全家聽說這事,都來到他那裡。
And he went David from there and he escaped to [the] cave of Adullam and they heard brothers his and all [the] household of father his and they went down to him there towards.
2 凡受迫害、負債。心中憂苦的人,都投奔到他,他便成了他們的首領;此時隨從他的約有四百人。
And they gathered together to him every man of distress and every man whom [belonged] to him a creditor and every man bitter of soul and he became over them a commander and they were with him about four hundred man.
3 達味從那裏來到摩阿布的米茲帕,對摩阿布王說:「求你讓我父母來你這裏,直到我明白天主對我有什麼計劃為止」。
And he went David from there Mizpah of Moab and he said - to [the] king of Moab let him go out please father my and mother my with you until that I will know what? will he do for me God.
4 達味把他們留在王那裏:達味在山裏住了多久,他們也住了多久。
And he led them with [the] presence of [the] king of Moab and they remained with him all [the] days of [the] being of David in the stronghold.
5 加得先知對達味說:「你不要在這山塞裏,你要到猶大地方去! 」達味就去了,來到赫勒達樹林。
And he said Gad the prophet to David not you must remain in the stronghold go and you will go for yourself [the] land of Judah and he went David and he came [the] forest of Hereth.
6 一日,撒烏耳正坐在基貝亞高處的一棵檉柳下,手裏著槍,他的臣僕都侍立左右,聽說達味和跟隨他的人已聯合起來,
And he heard Saul that he was known David and [the] men who [were] with him and Saul [was] sitting at Gibeah under the tamarisk tree at the high place and spear his [was] in hand his and all servants his [were] standing with him.
7 遂對侍立他左右的人說:「本雅明的子孫,你們聽:難道若瑟的兒子也要賜給你們每人莊田和葡萄園,或把你們者立為千夫長或百夫長,
And he said Saul to servants his who were standing with him listen please O Ben-jaminites also? to all of you will he give [the] son of Jesse fields and vineyards all of you will he appoint commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.
8 好使你們都同謀來陷害我﹖我的兒子和葉的兒子結盟,誰也沒有告訴我;我的兒子煽動我的臣僕來反對我,仇視我,像今日一像,你們中沒有一個人憐恤 ,來通知我! 」
For you have conspired all of you on me and there not [is one who] opens ear my when made son my with [the] son of Jesse and not [was] feeling pain any of you on me and opening ear my that he has raised up son my servant my on me to an ambusher as the day this.
9 作撒烏耳臣僕之長的厄東厄格就答說:「我看見葉瑟的兒子到過諾布,去阿希突布的兒子阿希默肋客。
And he answered Doeg the Edomite and he [was] standing with [the] servants of Saul and he said I saw [the] son of Jesse coming Nob towards to Ahimelech [the] son of Ahitub.
10 他為達味求問了上主,給了他食物,也把尸人哥肋雅的刀給了他」。
And he enquired for him by Yahweh and food he gave to him and [the] sword of Goliath the Philistine he gave to him.
11 君王遂派人去叫阿希突布的兒子,大司祭阿希默肋客和父親全家,即諾布所有的司祭;他們來到君王面前,
And he sent the king to summon Ahimelech [the] son of Ahitub the priest and all [the] house of father his the priests who [were] at Nob and they came all of them to the king.
12 撒烏耳說:「阿希突布是兒子,你聽! 」他答說:「是,我主! 」
And he said Saul listen please O son of Ahitub and he said here [am] I O lord my.
13 撒烏耳對他說:「你為什麼和葉瑟的兒子同謀陷害我,給他食物和刀劍,為他求問天主,使他起來反對我,仇視我,像今一樣﹖」
And he said (to him *Q(k)*) Saul why? have you conspired on me you and [the] son of Jesse when giving you to him bread and a sword and [you] enquired for him by God to rise up against me to an ambusher as the day this.
14 阿希默肋客答覆君王說:「在你的臣僕中,有誰如達味那樣忠實可靠呢﹖他是大王的女婿,又是護衛長,在你朝庭中是最受重視的人。
And he answered Ahimelech the king and he said and who? among all servants your [is] like David faithful and [the] son-in-law of the king and [one who] turns aside to bodyguard your and honored in household your.
15 難道我是今天才開始為他求問天主嗎﹖決不是! 請大王不要加害自己的僕人和我父全家,因為你僕人一點也王知道這事。
This day did I begin? (to enquire *Q(k)*) for him by God far be it to me may not he put the king against servant his anything against all [the] house of father my for not he knew servant your in all this anything small or great.
16 王說:「阿希默肋客,你和你父親全家都得死!」
And he said the king certainly you will die O Ahimelech you and all [the] house of father your.
17 王遂吩咐立在他左右的侍衛說:「你們過去,殺死上主的司祭! 因為他們與達味攜手,知道他逃跑,卻不來告訴我」。但是君王的臣僕不敢下手殺上主的司祭。
And he said the king to the runners who were standing with him turn round and put to death - [the] priests of Yahweh for also hand their [is] with David and for they knew that [was] fleeing he and not they uncovered (ear my *Q(K)*) and not they were willing [the] servants of the king to stretch out hand their to fall on [the] priests of Yahweh.
18 王遂對多厄格說:「你過去殺死司祭! 」厄東人多厄格就過去殺死了司祭。那一天他殺死了八十五位身穿細麻「厄弗得」的人。
And he said the king (to Doeg *Q(k)*) turn round you and fall on the priests and he turned round (Doeg *Q(k)*) the Edomite and he fell he on the priests and he killed - on the day that eighty and five man [who] carried an ephod of linen.
19 至於那座諾布司祭城,無論男女、幼童或乳兒,甚至連的牛、驢、羊都用利劍殺盡。
And Nob [the] city of the priests he struck to [the] mouth of [the] sword from man and unto woman from child and unto suckling-child and ox[en] and donkey[s] and sheep to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
20 阿希突布之子阿希默肋客的一個兒子,名叫厄貝雅塔爾的,脫險跑到了達味那裏。
And he escaped a son one of Ahimelech [the] son of Ahitub and name his [was] Abiathar and he fled after David.
And he told Abiathar to David that he had killed Saul [the] priests of Yahweh.
22 達味對厄貝雅塔爾說:「那一天我已知道,因為厄東人多厄格在那裏,他必要向撒烏耳報告;你父全家的性命,我全負責。
And he said David to Abiathar I knew on the day that that [was] there (Doeg *Q(k)*) the Edomite that certainly he will tell to Saul I I have turned in every life of [the] house of father your.
23 你住在我這裏,不要害怕;誰想謀害你,就是謀害我;你同我一起必得安全」。
Remain! with me may not you be afraid for [the one] who he seeks life my he seeks life your for [are] in good care you with me.
