撒母耳記下 21
1 達味在位時，飢荒接連三年，他求問了上主，上主答說：「在撒烏耳和他家中尚有血債，因為他殺了基貝紅人」。
Then there was a famine in the dayes of Dauid, three yeeres together: and Dauid asked counsell of the Lord, and the Lord answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloodie house, because hee slewe the Gibeonites.
2 君王遂將基貝紅人召來，詣問 。 ──基貝紅不屬以色列人，他們原是阿摩黎人的遺民。以色列子民曾向起過誓，但撒烏耳為表示愛以色列和猶大的熱情，曾設法屠殺他們。
Then ye King called the Gibeonites and said vnto them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but a remnant of the Amorites, vnto whom ye children of Israel had sworne: but Saul sought to slay them for his zeale toward the children of Israel and Iudah)
3 達味向基貝紅人說：「我該為你們作什麼﹖該怎樣贖罪才可以使你們祝福上主的遺產﹖」
And Dauid said vnto the Gibeonites, What shall I doe for you, and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may blesse the inheritance of the Lord?
4 基貝紅人回答他說：「我們和撒烏耳和他家不是金銀的問題，也不願在以色列殺一個人。」達味說：「你們論什麼，我必為你們作到。」
The Gibeonites then answered him, Wee will haue no siluer nor golde of Saul nor of his house, neither for vs shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I doe for you.
5 他們向君王說：「破壞我們，設法消滅我們，我們不在以色列任何中存在的人，
Then they answered the King, The man that consumed vs and that imagined euill against vs, so that we are destroyed from remaining in any coast of Israel,
6 要將他七個子孫交給我們，我們要在基貝紅的山上，將他們懸掛在上主面前」。君王答說：「我必將他們交出來」。
Let seuen men of his sonnes be deliuered vnto vs, and we will hang them vp vnto the Lord in Gibeah of Saul, the Lordes chosen. And the King said, I will giue them.
7 君王為了自己同撒烏耳的兒子約納堂間向上主所起的誓約，饒恕了撒烏耳的孫子，約納堂的兒子默黎巴耳，
But the King had compassion on Mephibosheth the sonne of Ionathan the sonne of Saul, because of the Lordes othe, that was betweene them, euen betweene Dauid and Ionathan the sonne of Saul.
8 只將阿雅的女兒黎茲帕給撒烏耳所生的兩個兒子阿爾摩尼和默黎巴耳，以及撒烏耳的女兒默辣布給默曷拉人巴爾齊來的兒子阿德黎耳所生的五個兒子，
But the King tooke the two sonnes of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whome shee bare vnto Saul, euen Armoni and Mephibosheth and the fiue sonnes of Michal, the daughter of Saul, whome shee bare to Adriel the sonne of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9 交給基貝紅人手裏；基貝紅人把他們在山上懸掛在上主面前； 他們七人死在一處，死在收割初期。
And hee deliuered them vnto the handes of the Gibeonites, which hanged them in the mountaine before the Lord: so they died all seuen together, and they were slaine in the time of haruest: in the first dayes, and in the beginning of barly haruest.
10 阿雅的女兒了麻衣，舖在石上，開始收割大麥，直到雨從天上落到屍首上，白天她不讓飛鳥飛近，夜間不讓野獸起近。
Then Rizpah the daughter of Aiah tooke sackecloth and hanged it vp for her vpon the rocke, from the beginning of haruest, vntill water dropped vpon them from the heauen, and suffered neither the birdes of the aire to light on the by day, nor beasts of the fielde by night.
11 有人把阿雅的女身兒，撒烏耳的妾黎茲帕所行的事，報告給達味。
And it was told Dauid, what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah ye concubine of Saul had done.
12 君王就去把撒烏耳和他的兒子約納堂的遺骸，從雅貝士基肋阿得的居民那裏收殮起來；這骨骸是他們從貝特商偷來的。原來培肋舍特人那天在基耳波殺了撒烏耳，將他們懸在廣場上。
And Dauid went and tooke the bones of Saul and the bones of Ionathan his sonne from the citizens of Iabesh Gilead, which had stollen them from the streete of Beth-shan, where the Philistims had hanged them, when the Philistims had slaine Saul in Gilboa.
13 達味那裏將撒烏耳和他的兒子的遺骸，那七個被懸掛的遺骸，一同運了回來，
So hee brought thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Ionathan his sonne, and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
14 與撒烏耳和他兒子約納堂的遺骸，一同埋在本雅明地方的責拉，撒烏耳的父親克的墳墓內。人門全依照君王所吩咐的作了；以後，天主才憐憫了那地方。
And the bones of Saul and of Ionathan his sonne buried they in the coutrey of Beniamin in Zelah, in the graue of Kish his father: and when they had perfourmed all that the King had commanded, God was then appeased with the land.
15 培肋舍特人與以色列人之間又發生戰事，達味帶著他的軍隊下來，駐紮在哥布，攻打培肋舍特人。正當達味疲乏時，約阿士的兒子多多出來了，
Againe the Philistims had warre with Israel: and Dauid went downe, and his seruants with him, and they fought against the Philistims, and Dauid fainted.
16 他是辣法巨人的後裔，他所持的矛的銅有三百「協刻耳」重，腰間佩著一把新劍，揚言要擊殺達味。
Then Ishi-benob which was of the sonnes of Haraphah (the head of whose speare wayed three hundreth shekels of brasse) euen he being girded with a newe sword, thought to haue slaine Dauid.
17 責魯雅的兒子阿彼瑟就來協助達味，打敗了那培肋舍特人，將他殺死。那時，達味的臣僕向他起誓說：「你可可跟隨我們出征打戰，怕你熄滅了以色列的明燈」。
But Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistim, and killed him. Then Dauids men sware vnto him, saying, Thou shalt goe no more out with vs to battell, lest thou quench the light of Israel.
18 此後，又在哥布和發生了戰事，這次胡沙人息貝開擊殺了撒夫，他也是辣法巨人的後裔。
And after this also there was a battell with the Philistims at Gob, then Sibbechai the Hushathite slewe Saph, which was one of ye sonnes of Haraphah.
19 以後，在哥布又與培肋舍特人交戰，白冷人雅依爾的兒子厄耳哈，殺了加特城人哥肋雅的兄弟拉赫米；這人的長矛粗如織布機的橫軸。
And there was yet another battel in Gob with the Philistims, where Elhanah the sonne of Iaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite slewe Goliath the Gittite: the staffe of whose speare was like a weauers beame.
20 此後，在加特又了戰事，在那裏有一巨人，兩手各有六指，兩腳也各有六趾，共有二十四個，也是辣法巨人的。
Afterward there was also a battel in Gath, where was a man of a great stature, and had on euerie hand sixe fingers, and on euerie foote sixe toes, foure and twentie in nomber: who was also the sonne of Haraphah.
21 由於他辱罵了以色列，達味的兄弟史默亞的兒子約納堂，便擊殺了他：
And when hee reuiled Israel, Ionathan the sonne of Shima the brother of Dauid slewe him.
22 以上四人，都是加特城辣法巨的後裔，都喪身在達味和他的臣僕的手下。
These foure were borne to Haraphah in Gath, and died by the hande of Dauid and by the hands of his seruants.
