撒母耳記下 2
1 這事以後，達味求問上主說：「我是否可以上猶大的一座城中去﹖」上主對他說：「可以。」達味又問說：「我上何處去﹖」答說：「往赫貝龍去。」
And it was after thus and he enquired David by Yahweh - saying ¿ will I go up in one of [the] cities of Judah and he said Yahweh to him go up and he said David where? will I go up and he said Hebron towards.
2 於是達味帶著他兩個妻子：依次勒耳人阿希諾罕和作過加爾默耳人納巴耳妻子的阿彼蓋耳，上那裏去了。
And he went up there David and also [the] two wives his Ahinoam the Jezreelite [woman] and Abigail [the] wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
3 凡跟隨達味的人，他也叫他們各帶家眷一起上去，住在赫類龍城各區內。
And men his who [were] with him he brought up David each man and household his and they dwelt in [the] cities of Hebron.
4 以後，猶大人來，在那裏給達味傅油，立他作猶大家族的君王。有人告訴達味，基肋阿得雅貝士人埋葬了撒烏耳。
And they came [the] people of Judah and they anointed there David to king over [the] house of Judah and people told to David saying [the] men of Jabesh Gilead who they buried Saul.
5 達味就派遣使者到基肋阿得雅貝士人那裏，向他們說：「願上主祝福你們! 因為你們對你們的主上撒烏耳行了這件善事，將他埋葬了。
And he sent David messengers to [the] people of Jabesh Gilead and he said to them [be] blessed you by Yahweh that you have done the loyalty this with lord your with Saul and you have buried him.
6 願上主對你們顯示他的慈愛和忠信! 因為你們作了這事，我也要恩待你們。
And now may he do Yahweh with you covenant loyalty and faithfulness and also I I will do with you the good this that you have done the thing this.
7 現在你們要加強自己的力量，作勇敢的人，因為你們的主上撒烏耳已經陣亡，但猶大家族已給我傅油，立我做了他們的君王。」
And now - let them be strong hands your and become sons of strength for he has died lord your Saul and also me they have anointed [the] house of Judah to king over them.
8 那時，撒烏耳的軍長，乃爾的兒子阿貝乃爾，已帶領撒烏耳的兒子依市巴耳過河，到了瑪哈納殷，
And Abner [the] son of Ner [the] commander of [the] army which [belonged] to Saul he had taken Ish-bosheth [the] son of Saul and he had brought over him Mahanaim.
9 立他為基肋阿得、革叔爾、依次勒耳、厄弗辣因、本雅明，全以色列的君王。
And he made king him to Gilead and to the Ashurite[s] and to Jezreel and over Ephraim and over Benjamin and over Israel all of it.
10 撒烏耳的兒子依市巴耳為以色列王時，已四十歲，為王兩年。此時隨從達味的，只有猶大家族。
[was] a son of Forty year[s] Ish-bosheth [the] son of Saul when became king he over Israel and two years he reigned only [the] house of Judah they were after David.
11 達味在赫貝龍作猶大家族君王的年數，共七年零六個月。
And it was [the] number of the days which he was David king in Hebron over [the] house of Judah seven years and six months.
12 乃爾的兒子阿貝乃爾和撒烏耳的兒子依市巴耳的臣僕，從瑪哈納殷來到基貝紅。
And he went out Abner [the] son of Ner and [the] servants of Ish-bosheth [the] son of Saul from Mahanaim Gibeon towards.
13 責魯雅的兒子約阿布和達味的臣僕，也從赫貝龍出發，彼此在基貝紅池旁相遇，雙方就都停下，各立在水池一邊。
And Joab [the] son of Zeruiah and [the] servants of David they went out and they met them at [the] pool of Gibeon together and they sat down these [men] at the pool from this and these [men] at the pool from this.
14 阿貝乃爾對約阿布說：「讓青年人出來，在我們面前比比武! 」約阿布答說：「好，叫他們出來! 」
And he said Abner to Joab let them arise please the young men and let them play before us and he said Joab let them arise.
15 他們就出來，點了人數，十二個本雅明人在撒烏耳的兒子依市巴耳一面，由達味的僕味的僕從中，也出來十二個人。
And they arose and they passed by by number two [plus] ten for Benjamin and for Ish-bosheth [the] son of Saul and two [plus] ten from [the] servants of David.
16 每人抓住對方的頭，用力猛刺對方的腰，雙方都同時倒下；因此那地方叫作匝得平原，離基貝紅不遠。
And they took hold each - on [the] head of neighbor his and sword his [was] in [the] side of neighbor his and they fell together and someone called the place that Helkath Hazzurim which [is] in Gibeon.
17 那天也發生了很激烈的戰鬥，阿貝乃爾和以色列人，竟為達味的臣僕打敗。
And it was the battle severe up to muchness on the day that and he was defeated Abner and [the] men of Israel before [the] servants of David.
18 責魯雅的三個兒子約阿布、阿彼瑟與阿撒耳，那時都在場，阿撒耳的腿快捷像野羚羊。
And they were there three [the] sons of Zeruiah Joab and Abishai and Asahel and Asahel [was] swift on feet his like one of the gazelles which [are] in the open country.
19 阿撒耳便去追趕阿貝乃爾，不左不右，直追阿貝乃爾。
And he pursued Asahel after Abner and not he turned aside to go to the right and to the left from after Abner.
20 阿貝乃爾轉過身來問說：「你是阿撒耳嗎﹖」他答說：「我是。」
And he turned Abner behind him and he said ¿ you [is] this O Asahel and he said I.
21 阿貝乃爾對他說：「你轉左或轉右，捉住一個青年，奪取他的裝備罷! 」但阿撒耳卻不肯放鬆他。
And he said to him Abner turn aside for yourself to right your or to left your and seize for yourself one from the young men and take for yourself spoils his and not he was willing Asahel to turn aside from after him.
22 阿貝乃爾就再對阿撒耳說：「你不要再追趕我了，為什麼逼我將你擊倒在地，叫我日後怎有臉再見你的兄弟約阿布﹖
And he repeated again Abner to say to Asahel turn aside for yourself from after me why? will I strike you [the] ground towards and how? will I lift up face my to Joab brother your.
23 阿撒耳仍不肯罷休。阿貝乃爾就調過槍來，擊中了他的腹部，槍由背後穿出，他就倒在那裏，當下死了。凡來到阿撒耳倒斃的地方的人，都站住了。
And he refused to turn aside and he struck him Abner with [the] back end of the spear into the belly and it went out the spear from behind him and he fell there and he died (in place his *Q(K)*) and it was every [one] who came to the place where he fell there Asahel and he died and they stood still.
24 約阿布和阿彼瑟仍在追趕阿貝乃爾，當他們來到往革巴曠野去的路上，基亞前的阿瑪山崗時，太陽就快要西落。
And they pursued Joab and Abishai after Abner and the sun it set and they they came to [the] hill of Ammah which [is] on [the] face of Giah [the] way of [the] wilderness of Gibeon.
25 本雅明人集結成隊，跟在阿貝乃爾後邊，站在一座小山頭上。
And they gathered together [the] descendants of Benjamin behind Abner and they became a band one and they stood on [the] top of a hill one.
26 阿貝乃爾向約阿布喊說：「刀劍豈能永遠擊殺﹖你豈不知結局更為不幸﹖幾時你纔命眾人轉身，不再追趕自己的兄弟﹖」
And he called out Abner to Joab and he said ¿ to perpetuity will it devour [the] sword ¿ not do you know? that bitter it will be at the last and until when? not will you say to the people to turn back from after brothers their.
27 約阿布答說：「上主永在! 若你不發言，眾人直到早晨，連一個也不會停止追趕自己的兄弟! 」
And he said Joab [by] [the] life of God if if not you had spoken for then from the morning it had abandoned pursuit the people each from after brother his.
28 約阿布遂吹號，眾人就停下，不再追趕以色列人，不再進攻。
And he gave a blast Joab on the trumpet and they stood all the people and not they pursued again after Israel and not they repeated again to wage war.
29 阿貝乃爾同他的人，那一整夜走過了阿辣巴平原，過了約但河，以後，又走了一上午，終于到了瑪哈納殷。
And Abner and men his they went in the Arabah all the night that and they passed over the Jordan and they went all Bitron and they came Mahanaim.
30 約阿布追趕阿貝乃爾回來，召集了自己的人，達味僕人中，除阿撒耳外，少了十九人。
And Joab he returned from after Abner and he gathered all the people and they were missed of [the] servants of David nine-teen man and Asah-el.
31 但阿貝乃爾所帶的本雅明人中，有三百六十人，為達味的臣僕殺死。
And [the] servants of David they had struck down of Benjamin and among [the] men of Abner three hundred and sixty man they had died.
32 遂將阿撒耳的屍體帶回，埋在白冷他父親的墳墓內。約阿布同他的人走了一夜，天亮時已到赫貝龍。
And people lifted up Asahel and they buried him in [the] tomb of father his which [was] Beth-lehem and they went all the night Joab and men his and it became light for them at Hebron.
