< 撒母耳記下 15 >
1 這事以後,阿貝沙隆準備了車輛和駿馬,並叫五十個為他開道。
And it was from after thus and he acquired for himself Absalom a chariot and horses and fifty man [who] ran before him.
2 阿貝沙隆常清早起來,站在進城門的大路旁;凡有爭訟,要到君王前去要裁判的人,阿貝沙隆就把他叫到自己跟前來問說:「你是那一城裏的人﹖」他答說:「你僕人是以色列某支派的人」。
And he rose early Absalom and he stood at [the] side of [the] road of the gate and it was every person whom it belonged to him a case at law to come to the king for judgment and he called out Absalom to him and he said where? from this city [are] you and he said [is] from one of [the] tribes of Israel servant your.
3 阿貝沙隆就向他說:「看你的案件是正直有理的,但是君王沒有派人來聽取你的案件」。
And he said to him Absalom see matter your [are] good and right and [one who] hears not [belongs] to you from with the king.
4 阿貝沙隆又接著說:「唉! 誰若立我作了國家的判官,凡是有訴和案件的,來到我這裏,我必使他獲得公正的裁判」。
And he said Absalom who? will he make me a judge in the land and to me he will come every person whom it belongs to him a case at law and a judgment and I will do justice him.
5 若有人前來叩拜他,他就伸手將他抱住,與他親吻。
And it was when drew near anyone to bow down to him and he stretched out hand his and he took hold of him and he kissed him.
6 凡是要到君王前去告狀的以色列人,阿貝沙隆總是這樣對待他們;如此他獲得了以色列人的心。
And he did Absalom according to the manner this to all Israel who they came for judgment to the king and he stole Absalom [the] heart of [the] men of Israel.
7 四年以後,阿貝沙隆向君王說:「我要求大王讓我去赫貝龍,向上主所許的願,
And it was from [the] end of forty year[s] and he said Absalom to the king let me go please so I may pay vow my which I vowed to Yahweh in Hebron.
8 因為你的僕人住在阿蘭革叔爾時,曾願許說:若上主領我再回耶路撒冷,我要在赫貝龍崇拜上主」。
For a vow he vowed servant your when dwelt I at Geshur in Aram saying if (certainly *Q(K)*) he will bring back me Yahweh Jerusalem and I will serve Yahweh (in Hebron. *X*)
9 君王向他說:「你平安去吧! 」阿貝沙隆便往赫貝龍去了。
And he said to him the king go in peace and he arose and he went Hebron towards.
10 阿貝沙隆打發特務到以色列各支派說:「你們一聽見號聲,就喊說:阿貝沙隆在赫貝龍為王了! 」
And he sent Absalom spies in all [the] tribes of Israel saying when hear you [the] sound of the ram's horn and you will say he has become king Absalom in Hebron.
11 由耶路撒冷與阿貝沙隆同來的,還有二百人,他們因為被請,就好心好意的來了,對於事情的真相,卻一點不知道。
And with Absalom they went two hundred man from Jerusalem [those who] were invited and [those who] were going to innocence their and not they knew any thing.
12 當阿貝沙隆祭獻時,就派人將達味的參謀,基羅人阿希托費耳由他的本城基羅請來參與祭祀。這樣,叛亂就更形擴大,隨從阿貝沙隆的民眾也逐漸加多。
And he sent Absalom Ahithophel the Gilonite [the] counselor of David from city his from Giloh when sacrificed he the sacrifices and it was the conspiracy strong and the people [was] going and numerous with Absalom.
13 有報信的人來到達味前說:「以色列人的心都歸向阿貝沙隆了」。
And he came the messenger to David saying it is [the] heart of [the] man of Israel after Absalom.
14 達味就對所有跟他在耶路撒冷的臣僕說:「我們趕快逃跑,不然,我們就來不及逃避阿貝沙隆了。你們趕快上路,免得他忽然趕到,殘害我們,用刀屠殺全城的人」。
And he said David to all servants his who [were] with him in Jerusalem arise so let us flee for not it will belong to us an escape from before Absalom hurry to go lest he should hurry and he will overtake us and he will thrust on us calamity and he will strike the city to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
15 王的臣僕向君王說:「凡我主大王所決定的,你的臣僕必都照辦」。
And they said [the] servants of the king to the king according to all that he will choose lord my the king here! [are] servants your.
16 君王帶著全家徒步出走,只留下十個嬪妃看守王宮。
And he went out the king and all household his at feet his and he left the king ten women concubines to keep the house.
17 君王徒步前行,他的軍民都跟著他;到了最後的住宅區,君王站住了。
And he went out the king and all the people at feet his and they stood [the] house of the distance.
18 所有的軍民都由他身邊走過,所有的革勒提人和培肋提人,還有從加特跟隨依泰來的六百人,也都由君王面前過去。
And all servants his [were] passing by at side his and all the Kerethite[s] and all the Pelethite[s] and all the Gittites six hundred man who they had come at foot his from Gath [were] passing by at [the] face of the king.
19 君王逐向加特人依泰說:「你m口我們一起出走﹖你回去協同新王國吧! 因為你是個離鄉背井的,流徙在外的僑民。
And he said the king to Ittai the Gittite why? will you go also you with us return and dwell with the king for [are] a foreigner you and also [are] an exile you to place your.
20 你昨天來了,今天我就要你同我們一起漂流嗎﹖我還不知道我要往哪裏去﹖你領著你的兄弟們一起回去吧! 願上主仁慈忠誠對待你! 」
[was] yesterday - Coming you and this day (will I make wander? you *Q(K)*) with us to go and I [am] going to where I [am] going return and take back brothers your [be] with you covenant loyalty and truth.
21 依泰回答君王說:「上主永在! 我主大王萬歲! 在我主大王所在的地方,無論生死,你的僕人也必在那裏! 」
And he answered Ittai the king and he said [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of lord my the king that except in [the] place where he will be there - lord my the king whether for death or for life for there he will be servant your.
22 達味向依泰說:「好,你過去吧! 」加特人依泰與他率領的人民,和他全家也都過去了。
And he said David to Ittai come and pass on and he passed on Ittai the Gittite and all men his and all the little one[s] who [were] with him.
23 人民過去時,遍地一片哭聲;君王停在克德龍谷中,人民在他面前過去,向曠野的路上走去。
And all the land [were] weeping a voice great and all the people [were] passing by and the king [was] passing in [the] wadi of Kidron and all the people [were] passing on on [the] face of [the] road the wilderness.
24 匝多克和所有的肋未人抬著天主的結約之櫃來了,他們把天主的約櫃放在厄貝雅塔爾面前,等由城中出來的人民全都走過。
And there! also Zadok and all the Levites with him [were] carrying [the] ark of [the] covenant of God and they set down [the] ark of God and he went up Abiathar until was finished all the people to pass out from the city.
25 君王對匝多克說:「你將天主的約櫃抬回城去,放在原處! 若我在上主眼中蒙恩,衪必會領我回來,再能見約櫃和衪的聖所。
And he said the king to Zadok take back [the] ark of God the city if I will find favor in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he will bring back me and he will show me it and habitation his.
26 但若上主說:我不喜歡你,看,我在這裏,衪看著怎樣好,就怎樣處置 吧! 」
And if thus he will say not I delight in you here [am] I let him do to me just as it is good in view his.
27 君王又向匝多克司祭「看,你 和厄貝雅塔爾可以平安回城,你的兒子阿希瑪茲和厄貝雅塔爾的兒子約納堂,你們的兩個兒子,也應隨你們回去。
And he said the king to Zadok the priest ¿ a seer [are] you return! the city in peace and Ahimaaz son your and Jonathan [the] son of Abiathar [the] two sons your with you.
28 我願在曠野中的渡口暫並住下,等侯你們來給我報告消息」。
See I [will] delay (in [the] desert plains of *Q(K)*) the wilderness until comes word from with you to tell to me.
29 匝多克和厄貝雅塔爾抬著天主的約櫃回了耶路撒冷,且住在那裏。
And he took back Zadok and Abiathar [the] ark of God Jerusalem and they remained there.
30 以後,達味上了橄欖山:一邊上,一邊哭,蒙著頭赤著腳;隨著人民也都蒙著頭,哭著上山。
And David [was] going up on [the] ascent of the olive trees going up - and weeping and head of him [was] covered and he [was] walking barefoot and all the people which [was] with him they covered each head his and they went up continuously and wept.
31 忽有人報告達味說:「阿希托費耳也跟隨了阿貝沙隆,雜在叛黨中」。 根遂說:「上主,我求你使阿希托費耳的計謀轉為愚策」。
And David someone told saying Ahithophel [is] among the conspirators with Absalom and he said David make foolish please [the] counsel of Ahithophel O Yahweh.
32 達味一到了山頂,敬拜天主的地方,見他的朋友阿爾基人胡瑟穿著撕裂的衣服,頭上頂灰,出來迎接他。
And he was David coming to the top where he bowed down there to God and there! to meet him Hushai the Arkite [was] torn tunic his and earth [was] on head his.
And he said to him David if you pass over with me and you will become on me a burden.
34 但你若回去,向阿貝沙隆說:大王,我願作你的僕人,先我是你父親的人,如今我作你的僕人;這樣你反能為我破壞阿希托費耳的計謀。
And if the city you will return and you will say to Absalom servant your I O king I will be [was] [the] servant of father your I from then and now I [will be] servant your and you will frustrate for me [the] counsel of Ahithophel.
35 在那裏同你一起的,還有司祭匝多克和厄貝雅塔爾司祭。
And ¿ not with you there [are] Zadok and Abiathar the priests and it will be every word which you will hear from [the] house of the king you will tell to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests.
36 與他們在一起的,還有他們的兩個兒子,匝多克的兒子阿希瑪茲和厄貝雅塔爾的兒子約納堂,託他們把你們所聽到的傳報給我」。
There! there [are] with them [the] two sons their Ahimaaz of Zadok and Jonathan of Abiathar and you will send by hand their to me every word which you will hear.
37 達味的朋友胡瑟就回了城,同時也到了耶路撒冷。
And he came Hushai [the] friend of David the city and Absalom he came Jerusalem.
