撒母耳记下 1
1 扫罗死后，大卫击杀亚玛力人回来，在洗革拉住了两天。
And it came to pass after Saul was dead, that David returned from smiting Amalec, and David abode two days in Sekelac.
2 第三天，有一人从扫罗的营里出来，衣服撕裂，头蒙灰尘，到大卫面前伏地叩拜。
And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came from the camp, from the people of Saul, and his garments were rent, and earth [was] upon his head: and it came to pass when he went in to David, that he fell upon the earth, and did obeisance to him.
3 大卫问他说：“你从哪里来？”他说：“我从以色列的营里逃来。”
And David said to him, Whence comest thou? and he said to him, I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.
4 大卫又问他说：“事情怎样？请你告诉我。”他回答说：“百姓从阵上逃跑，也有许多人仆倒死亡；扫罗和他儿子约拿单也死了。”
And David said to him, What [is] the matter? tell me. And he said, The people fled out of the battle, and many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.
5 大卫问报信的少年人说：“你怎么知道扫罗和他儿子约拿单死了呢？”
And David said to the young man who brought him the tidings, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
6 报信的少年人说：“我偶然到基利波山，看见扫罗伏在自己枪上，有战车、马兵紧紧地追他。
And the young man that brought the tidings, said to him, I happened accidentally to be upon mount Gelbue; and, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear, and, behold, the chariots and captains of horse pressed hard upon him.
7 他回头看见我，就呼叫我。我说：‘我在这里。’
And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called me; and I said, Behold, [here am] I.
8 他问我说：‘你是什么人？’我说：‘我是亚玛力人。’
And he said to me, Who art thou? and I said, I am an Amalekite.
9 他说：‘请你来，将我杀死；因为痛苦抓住我，我的生命尚存。’
And he said to me, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and slay me, for a dreadful darkness has come upon me, for all my life [is] in me.
10 我准知他仆倒必不能活，就去将他杀死，把他头上的冠冕、臂上的镯子拿到我主这里。”
So I stood over him and slew him, because I knew he would not live after he was fallen; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was upon his arm, and I have brought them hither to my lord.
11 大卫就撕裂衣服，跟随他的人也是如此，
And David laid hold of his garments, and rent them; and all the men who were with him rent their garments.
12 而且悲哀哭号，禁食到晚上，是因扫罗和他儿子约拿单，并耶和华的民以色列家的人，倒在刀下。
And they lamented, and wept, and fasted till evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Juda, and for the house of Israel, because they were smitten with the sword.
13 大卫问报信的少年人说：“你是哪里的人？”他说：“我是亚玛力客人的儿子。”
And David said to the young man who brought the tidings to him, Whence art thou? and he said, I am the son of an Amalekite sojourner.
14 大卫说：“你伸手杀害耶和华的受膏者，怎么不畏惧呢？”
And David said to him, How was it thou wast not afraid to lift thy hand to destroy the anointed of the Lord?
15 大卫叫了一个少年人来，说：“你去杀他吧！”
And David called one of his young men, and said, Go and fall upon him: and he smote him, and he died.
16 大卫对他说：“你流人血的罪归到自己的头上，因为你亲口作见证说：‘我杀了耶和华的受膏者。’”少年人就把他杀了。
And David said to him, Thy blood [be] upon thine own head; for thy mouth has testified against thee, saying, I have slain the anointed of the Lord.
17 大卫作哀歌，吊扫罗和他儿子约拿单，
And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son.
18 且吩咐将这歌教导犹大人。这歌名叫“弓歌”，写在雅煞珥书上。
And he gave orders to teach it the sons of Juda: behold, it is written in the book of Right.
19 歌中说：以色列啊， 你尊荣者在山上被杀！ 大英雄何竟死亡！
Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain that died upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
20 不要在迦特报告； 不要在亚实基伦街上传扬； 免得非利士的女子欢乐； 免得未受割礼之人的女子矜夸。
Tell it not in Geth, and tell it not as glad tidings in the streets of Ascalon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21 基利波山哪，愿你那里没有雨露！ 愿你田地无土产可作供物！ 因为英雄的盾牌在那里被污丢弃； 扫罗的盾牌仿佛未曾抹油。
Ye mountains of Gelbue, let not dew no rain descend upon you, nor fields of first-fruits [be upon you], for there the shield of the mighty ones has been grievously assailed; the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
22 约拿单的弓箭非流敌人的血不退缩； 扫罗的刀剑非剖勇士的油不收回。
From the blood of the slain, and from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan returned not empty; and the sword of Saul turned not back empty.
23 扫罗和约拿单— 活时相悦相爱，死时也不分离 —他们比鹰更快，比狮子还强。
Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the beautiful, were not divided: comely [were they] in their life, and in their death they were not divided: [they were] swifter than eagles, and they were stronger than lions.
24 以色列的女子啊，当为扫罗哭号！ 他曾使你们穿朱红色的美衣， 使你们衣服有黄金的妆饰。
Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you with scarlet together with your adorning, who added golden ornaments to your apparel.
25 英雄何竟在阵上仆倒！ 约拿单何竟在山上被杀！
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, even the slain ones upon thy high places!
26 我兄约拿单哪，我为你悲伤！ 我甚喜悦你！ 你向我发的爱情奇妙非常， 过于妇女的爱情。
I am grieved for thee, my brother Jonathan; thou wast very lovely to me; thy love to me was wonderful beyond the love of women.
27 英雄何竟仆倒！ 战具何竟灭没！
How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
