< 歷代志上 11 >
1 以色列眾人聚集到希伯崙見大衛,說:「我們原是你的骨肉。
Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
2 從前掃羅作王的時候,率領以色列人出入的是你;耶和華-你的上帝也曾應許你說:『你必牧養我的民以色列,作以色列的君。』」
In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. The LORD your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.’”
3 於是以色列的長老都來到希伯崙見大衛王。大衛在希伯崙耶和華面前與他們立約,他們就膏大衛作以色列的王,是照耶和華藉撒母耳所說的話。
So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD. They anointed David king over Israel, according to the LORD’s word by Samuel.
4 大衛和以色列眾人到了耶路撒冷,就是耶布斯;那時耶布斯人住在那裏。
David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (also called Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
5 耶布斯人對大衛說:「你決不能進這地方。」然而大衛攻取錫安的保障,就是大衛的城。
The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here!” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. The same is David’s city.
6 大衛說:「誰先攻打耶布斯人,必作首領元帥。」洗魯雅的兒子約押先上去,就作了元帥。
David had said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.
David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it David’s city.
8 大衛又從米羅起,四圍建築城牆,其餘的是約押修理。
He built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
David grew greater and greater, for the LORD of Armies was with him.
10 以下記錄跟隨大衛勇士的首領,就是奮勇幫助他得國、照着耶和華吩咐以色列人的話、與以色列人一同立他作王的。
Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the LORD’s word concerning Israel.
11 大衛勇士的數目記在下面:哈革摩尼的兒子雅朔班,他是軍長的統領,一時舉槍殺了三百人。
This is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them at one time.
12 其次是亞合人朵多的兒子以利亞撒,他是三個勇士裏的一個。
After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.
13 他從前與大衛在巴斯‧達閔,非利士人聚集要打仗。那裏有一塊長滿大麥的田,眾民就在非利士人面前逃跑;
He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
14 這勇士便站在那田間擊殺非利士人,救護了那田。耶和華使以色列人大獲全勝。
They stood in the middle of the plot, defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory.
15 三十個勇士中的三個人下到磐石那裏,進了亞杜蘭洞見大衛;非利士的軍隊在利乏音谷安營。
Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem at that time.
17 大衛渴想,說:「甚願有人將伯利恆城門旁井裏的水打來給我喝!」
David longed, and said, “Oh, that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”
18 這三個勇士就闖過非利士人的營盤,從伯利恆城門旁的井裏打水,拿來奉給大衛。他卻不肯喝,將水奠在耶和華面前,
The three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, took it, and brought it to David; but David would not drink any of it, but poured it out to the LORD,
19 說:「我的上帝啊,這三個人冒死去打水,這水好像他們的血一般,我斷不敢喝!」如此,大衛不肯喝。這是三個勇士所做的事。
and said, “My God forbid me, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?” For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.
20 約押的兄弟亞比篩是這三個勇士的首領;他舉槍殺了三百人,就在三個勇士裏得了名。
Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name amongst the three.
21 他在這三個勇士裏是最尊貴的,所以作他們的首領;只是不及前三個勇士。
Of the three, he was more honourable than the two, and was made their captain; however he wasn’t included in the three.
22 有甲薛勇士耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅行過大能的事:他殺了摩押人亞利伊勒的兩個兒子,又在下雪的時候下坑裏去殺了一個獅子,
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day.
23 又殺了一個埃及人。埃及人身高五肘,手裏拿着槍,槍桿粗如織布的機軸;比拿雅只拿着棍子下去,從埃及人手裏奪過槍來,用那槍將他刺死。
He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high. In the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.
24 這是耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅所行的事,就在三個勇士裏得了名。
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things and had a name amongst the three mighty men.
25 他比那三十個勇士都尊貴,只是不及前三個勇士。大衛立他作護衛長。
Behold, he was more honourable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three; and David set him over his guard.
