撒母耳记上 18
1 大卫对扫罗说完了话，约拿单的心与大卫的心深相契合。约拿单爱大卫，如同爱自己的性命。
And it cometh to pass, when he finisheth to speak unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan hath been bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loveth him as his own soul.
2 那日扫罗留住大卫，不容他再回父家。
And Saul taketh him on that day, and hath not permitted him to turn back to the house of his father.
3 约拿单爱大卫如同爱自己的性命，就与他结盟。
And Jonathan maketh — also David — a covenant, because he loveth him as his own soul,
4 约拿单从身上脱下外袍，给了大卫，又将战衣、刀、弓、腰带都给了他。
and Jonathan strippeth himself of the upper robe which [is] upon him, and giveth it to David, and his long robe, even unto his sword, and unto his bow, and unto his girdle.
5 扫罗无论差遣大卫往何处去，他都做事精明。扫罗就立他作战士长，众百姓和扫罗的臣仆无不喜悦。
And David goeth out whithersoever Saul doth send him; he acted wisely, and Saul setteth him over the men of war, and it is good in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
6 大卫打死了那非利士人，同众人回来的时候，妇女们从以色列各城里出来，欢欢喜喜，打鼓击磬，歌唱跳舞，迎接扫罗王。
And it cometh to pass, in their coming in, in David's returning from smiting the Philistine, that the women come out from all the cities of Israel to sing — also the dancers — to meet Saul the king, with tabrets, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments;
7 众妇女舞蹈唱和，说：“扫罗杀死千千，大卫杀死万万。”
and the women answer — those playing, and say, 'Saul hath smitten among his thousands, And David among his myriads.'
8 扫罗甚发怒，不喜悦这话，就说：“将万万归大卫，千千归我，只剩下王位没有给他了。”
And it is displeasing to Saul exceedingly, and this thing is evil in his eyes, and he saith, 'They have given to David myriads, and to me they have given the thousands, and more to him [is] only the kingdom;'
9 从这日起，扫罗就怒视大卫。
and Saul is eyeing David from that day and thenceforth.
10 次日，从 神那里来的恶魔大大降在扫罗身上，他就在家中胡言乱语。大卫照常弹琴，扫罗手里拿着枪。
And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the spirit of sadness [from] God prospereth over Saul, and he prophesieth in the midst of the house, and David is playing with his hand, as day by day, and the javelin [is] in the hand of Saul,
11 扫罗把枪一抡，心里说，我要将大卫刺透，钉在墙上。大卫躲避他两次。
and Saul casteth the javelin, and saith, 'I smite through David, even through the wall;' and David turneth round out of his presence twice.
12 扫罗惧怕大卫；因为耶和华离开自己，与大卫同在。
And Saul is afraid of the presence of David, for Jehovah hath been with him, and from Saul He hath turned aside;
13 所以扫罗使大卫离开自己，立他为千夫长，他就领兵出入。
and Saul turneth him aside from him, and appointeth him to himself head of a thousand, and he goeth out an cometh in, before the people.
14 大卫做事无不精明，耶和华也与他同在。
And David is in all his ways acting wisely, and Jehovah [is] with him,
15 扫罗见大卫做事精明，就甚怕他。
and Saul seeth that he is acting very wisely, and is afraid of him,
16 但以色列和犹大众人都爱大卫，因为他领他们出入。
and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out and coming in before them.
17 扫罗对大卫说：“我将大女儿米拉给你为妻，只要你为我奋勇，为耶和华争战。”扫罗心里说：“我不好亲手害他，要借非利士人的手害他。”
And Saul saith unto David, 'Lo, my elder daughter Merab — her I give to thee for a wife; only, be to me for a son of valour, and fight the battles of Jehovah;' and Saul said, 'Let not my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.'
18 大卫对扫罗说：“我是谁，我是什么出身，我父家在以色列中是何等的家，岂敢作王的女婿呢？”
And David saith unto Saul, 'Who [am] I? and what my life — the family of my father in Israel — that I am son-in-law to the king?'
19 扫罗的女儿米拉到了当给大卫的时候，扫罗却给了米何拉人亚得列为妻。
And it cometh to pass, at the time of the giving of Merab daughter of Saul to David, that she hath been given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.
20 扫罗的次女米甲爱大卫。有人告诉扫罗，扫罗就喜悦。
And Michal daughter of Saul loveth David, and they declare to Saul, and the thing is right in his eyes,
21 扫罗心里说：“我将这女儿给大卫，作他的网罗，好借非利士人的手害他。”所以扫罗对大卫说：“你今日可以第二次作我的女婿。”
and Saul saith, 'I give her to him, and she is to him for a snare, and the hand of the Philistines is on him;' and Saul saith unto David, 'By the second — thou dost become my son-in-law to-day.'
22 扫罗吩咐臣仆说：“你们暗中对大卫说：‘王喜悦你，王的臣仆也都喜爱你，所以你当作王的女婿。’”
And Saul commandeth his servants, 'Speak unto David gently, saying, Lo, the king hath delighted in thee, and all his servants have loved thee, and now, be son-in-law to the king.'
23 扫罗的臣仆就照这话说给大卫听。大卫说：“你们以为作王的女婿是一件小事吗？我是贫穷卑微的人。”
And the servants of Saul speak in the ears of David these words, and David saith, 'Is it a light thing in your eyes to be son-in-law to the king — and I a poor man, and lightly esteemed?'
24 扫罗的臣仆回奏说，大卫所说的如此如此。
And the servants of Saul declare to him, saying, 'According to these words hath David spoken.'
25 扫罗说：“你们要对大卫这样说：‘王不要什么聘礼，只要一百非利士人的阳皮，好在王的仇敌身上报仇。’”扫罗的意思要使大卫丧在非利士人的手里。
And Saul saith, 'Thus do ye say to David, There is no delight to the king in dowry, but in a hundred foreskins of the Philistines — to be avenged on the enemies of the king;' and Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 扫罗的臣仆将这话告诉大卫，大卫就欢喜作王的女婿。日期还没有到，
And his servants declare to David these words, and the thing is right in the eyes of David, to be son-in-law to the king; and the days have not been full,
27 大卫和跟随他的人起身前往，杀了二百非利士人，将阳皮满数交给王，为要作王的女婿。于是扫罗将女儿米甲给大卫为妻。
and David riseth and goeth, he and his men, and smiteth among the Philistines two hundred men, and David bringeth in their foreskins, and they set them before the king, to be son-in-law to the king; and Saul giveth to him Michal his daughter for a wife.
28 扫罗见耶和华与大卫同在，又知道女儿米甲爱大卫，
And Saul seeth and knoweth that Jehovah [is] with David, and Michal daughter of Saul hath loved him,
29 就更怕大卫，常作大卫的仇敌。
and Saul addeth to be afraid of the presence of David yet; and Saul is an enemy with David all the days.
30 每逢非利士军长出来打仗，大卫比扫罗的臣仆做事精明，因此他的名被人尊重。
And the princes of the Philistines come out, and it cometh to pass from the time of their coming out, David hath acted more wisely than any of the servants of Saul, and his name is very precious.
