< 撒母耳記上 17 >

1 非利士人招聚他們的軍旅,要來爭戰;聚集在屬猶大的梭哥,安營在梭哥和亞西加中間的以弗‧大憫。
Forsothe Filisteis gaderiden her cumpenyes in to batel, and camen togidere in Socoth of Juda, and settiden tentis bitwixe Socoth and Azecha, in the coostis of Domyn.
2 掃羅和以色列人也聚集,在以拉谷安營,擺列隊伍,要與非利士人打仗。
Sotheli Saul and the men of Israel weren gaderid, and camen in to the valey of Terebynte, and dressiden scheltrun to fiyte ayens Filisteis.
3 非利士人站在這邊山上,以色列人站在那邊山上,當中有谷。
And Filisteis stoden aboue the hil on this part, and Israel stood on the hil on the tother part of the valey, that was bitwixe hem.
4 從非利士營中出來一個討戰的人,名叫歌利亞,是迦特人,身高六肘零一虎口;
And a man, `sone of a widewe, whos fadir was vncerteyn, yede out of the `castels of Filisteis, Goliath bi name of Geth, of sixe cubitis heiy and a spanne; and a brasun basynet on his heed;
5 頭戴銅盔,身穿鎧甲,甲重五千舍客勒;
and he was clothid with `an haburioun hokid, ether mailid; forsothe the weiyte of his haburioun was fyue thousynde siclis of bras;
6 腿上有銅護膝,兩肩之中背負銅戟;
and he hadde `bootis of bras in the hipis, and a `scheld of bras hilide hise schuldris.
7 槍桿粗如織布的機軸,鐵槍頭重六百舍客勒。有一個拿盾牌的人在他前面走。
Forsothe `the schaft of his spere was as the beem of webbis; forsothe thilke yrun of his spere hadde sixe hundrid siclis of yrun; and his squier yede bifor hym.
8 歌利亞對着以色列的軍隊站立,呼叫說:「你們出來擺列隊伍做甚麼呢?我不是非利士人嗎?你們不是掃羅的僕人嗎?可以從你們中間揀選一人,使他下到我這裏來。
And he stood, and cried ayens the cumpenyes of armed men of Israel, and seide to hem, Why camen ye redi to batel? Whether Y am not a Filistei, and ye ben the seruauntis of Saul? Chese ye a man of you, and come he doun to syngulere batel;
9 他若能與我戰鬥,將我殺死,我們就作你們的僕人;我若勝了他,將他殺死,你們就作我們的僕人,服事我們。」
if he may fiyte with me, and sleeth me, we schulen be `seruauntis to you; forsothe if Y haue the maystry, and sle hym, ye schulen be boonde, and `ye schulen serue vs.
10 那非利士人又說:「我今日向以色列人的軍隊罵陣。你們叫一個人出來,與我戰鬥。」
And `the Filistei seide, Y haue `seyd schenschip to dai to the cumpenyes of Israel; yyue ye a man, and bigynne he `synguler batel with me.
11 掃羅和以色列眾人聽見非利士人的這些話,就驚惶,極其害怕。
Sotheli Saul and alle men of Israel herden siche wordis of `the Filistey, and thei weren astonyed, and dredden greetli.
12 大衛是猶大伯利恆的以法他人耶西的兒子。耶西有八個兒子。當掃羅的時候,耶西已經老邁。
Forsothe Dauid was `the sone of a man of Effrata, of whom it is `biforseid, of Bethleem of Juda, to `which man the name was Isay, which hadde eiyte sones; and `the man was eld in the daies of Saul, and of greet age among men.
13 耶西的三個大兒子跟隨掃羅出征。這出征的三個兒子:長子名叫以利押,次子名叫亞比拿達,三子名叫沙瑪。
Sotheli thre grettere sones of Ysai yeden after Saul in to batel; and the names of hise thre sones, that yeden to batel, Heliab, the firste gendryd, and the secounde, Amynadab, and the thridde, Samma.
14 大衛是最小的;那三個大兒子跟隨掃羅。
Forsothe Dauid was the leeste. Therfor while thre grettere sueden Saul, Dauid yede,
15 大衛有時離開掃羅,回伯利恆放他父親的羊。
and turnede ayen fro Saul, that he schulde kepe the floc of his fadir in Bethleem.
16 那非利士人早晚都出來站着,如此四十日。
Forsothe the Filistey cam forth in the morewtid, and euentid; and stood `bi fourti daies.
17 一日,耶西對他兒子大衛說:「你拿一伊法烘了的穗子和十個餅,速速地送到營裏去,交給你哥哥們;
Sotheli Ysai seide to Dauid his sone, Take thou to thi britheren meete maad of meele, the mesure of ephi, and these ten looues, and renne thou in to the castels to thi britheren;
18 再拿這十塊奶餅,送給他們的千夫長,且問你哥哥們好,向他們要一封信來。」
and thou schalt bere to the tribune these ten `litil formes of chese; and thou schalt visite thi britheren, whether thei doon riytli, and lurne thou, with whiche men thei ben ordeyned.
19 掃羅與大衛的三個哥哥和以色列眾人,在以拉谷與非利士人打仗。
Forsothe Saul, and thei, and alle the sones of Israel in the valei of Terebynte fouyten ayens Filisteis.
20 大衛早晨起來,將羊交託一個看守的人,照着他父親所吩咐的話,帶着食物去了。到了輜重營,軍兵剛出到戰場,吶喊要戰。
Therfor Dauid roos eerli, and bitook the floc to the kepere, and he yede chargid, as Ysai `hadde comaundid to hym; and he cam to the place Magala, and to the oost, which oost yede out to the batel, and criede in `the batel.
21 以色列人和非利士人都擺列隊伍,彼此相對。
For Israel hadde dressid scheltrun; `but also Filisteis weren maad redi `euen ayens.
22 大衛把他帶來的食物留在看守物件人的手下,跑到戰場,問他哥哥們安。
Therfor Dauid lefte the vessels, whiche he hadde brouyt, vndur the hond of a kepere `at the fardels, and he ran to the place of batel, and he axyde, if alle thingis weren `doon riytli anentis hise britheren.
23 與他們說話的時候,那討戰的,就是屬迦特的非利士人歌利亞,從非利士隊中出來,說從前所說的話;大衛都聽見了。
And whanne he spak yit to hem, thilke bastard apperide, Goliath bi name, a Filistei of Geth, and stiede fro the castels of Filisteis; and `while he spak these same wordis, Dauid herde.
24 以色列眾人看見那人,就逃跑,極其害怕。
And whanne alle men of Israel hadden seyn `the man, thei fledden fro his face, and dredden hym greetli.
25 以色列人彼此說:「這上來的人你看見了嗎?他上來是要向以色列人罵陣。若有能殺他的,王必賞賜他大財,將自己的女兒給他為妻,並在以色列人中免他父家納糧當差。」
And ech man of Israel seide, Whether thou hast seyn this man that stiede? for he stiede to seie schenship to Israel; therfor the kyng schal make riche with greet richessis `the man that sleeth thilke Filistei; and the kyng schal yyue his douyter to that man, and schal make the hows of his fader with out `tribut in Israel.
26 大衛問站在旁邊的人說:「有人殺這非利士人,除掉以色列人的恥辱,怎樣待他呢?這未受割禮的非利士人是誰呢?竟敢向永生上帝的軍隊罵陣嗎?」
And Dauyd spak to the men that stoden with hym, and seide, What schal be youun to the man that sleeth this Filistei, and doith awei schenschip fro Israel? for who is this Filistei vncircumcidid, that dispiside the scheltruns of God lyuynge?
27 百姓照先前的話回答他說:「有人能殺這非利士人,必如此如此待他。」
Forsothe the puple tolde to hym the same word, and seide, These thingis schulen be youun to the man that sleeth hym.
28 大衛的長兄以利押聽見大衛與他們所說的話,就向他發怒,說:「你下來做甚麼呢?在曠野的那幾隻羊,你交託了誰呢?我知道你的驕傲和你心裏的惡意,你下來特為要看爭戰!」
And whanne Heliab, `his more brother, had herd this, while he spak with othere men, he was wrooth ayens Dauid, and seide, Whi camest thou, and whi `leftist thou tho fewe scheep in deseert? Y knowe thi pride, and the wewardnesse of thin herte; for thou camest doun to se the batel.
29 大衛說:「我做了甚麼呢?我來豈沒有緣故嗎?」
And Dauid seide, What haue Y do? Whether it is not a word?
30 大衛就離開他轉向別人,照先前的話而問;百姓仍照先前的話回答他。
And Dauid bowide a litil fro hym to another man; and Dauid seide the same word, and the puple answeride to hym al word as bifore.
31 有人聽見大衛所說的話,就告訴了掃羅;掃羅便打發人叫他來。
Forsothe these wordis weren herd, whiche Dauid spak, and weren teld `in the siyt of Saul.
32 大衛對掃羅說:「人都不必因那非利士人膽怯。你的僕人要去與那非利士人戰鬥。」
And whanne Dauyd was brouyt to Saul, Dauyd spak to hym, The herte of ony man falle not doun for `that Filistei, Y thi seruaunt schal go, and `Y schal fiyte ayens the Filistei.
33 掃羅對大衛說:「你不能去與那非利士人戰鬥;因為你年紀太輕,他自幼就作戰士。」
And Saul seide to Dauid, Thou maist not ayenstonde this Filistei, nether fiyte ayens hym, for thou art a child; forsothe this man is a werriour fro his yong wexynge age.
34 大衛對掃羅說:「你僕人為父親放羊,有時來了獅子,有時來了熊,從群中啣一隻羊羔去。
And Dauid seide to Saul, Thi seruaunt kepte `the floc of his fadir, and a lioun cam, ether a bere, and took awei a ram fro the myddis of the floc;
35 我就追趕牠,擊打牠,將羊羔從牠口中救出來。牠起來要害我,我就揪着牠的鬍子,將牠打死。
Y pursuede, and killide hem, and rauyschide fro `the mouth of hem; and thei risiden ayens me, and I took the nether chaule `of hem, and Y stranglide, and killide hem.
36 你僕人曾打死獅子和熊,這未受割禮的非利士人向永生上帝的軍隊罵陣,也必像獅子和熊一般。」
For Y thi seruaunt killide bothe a lioun and a bere; therfor and this Filistei vncircumcidid schal be as oon of hem. Now Y schal go, and Y schal do awey the schenschip of the puple; for who is this Filistei vncircumcidid, that was hardi to curse the oost of God lyuynge?
37 大衛又說:「耶和華救我脫離獅子和熊的爪,也必救我脫離這非利士人的手。」掃羅對大衛說:「你可以去吧!耶和華必與你同在。」
And Dauid seide, The Lord that delyuerede me fro the `mouth of the lioun, and fro the `hond, that is, power, of the bere, he schal delyuere me fro the hond of this Filistei. Forsothe Saul seide to Dauid, Go thou, and the Lord be with thee.
38 掃羅就把自己的戰衣給大衛穿上,將銅盔給他戴上,又給他穿上鎧甲。
And Saul clothide Dauid with hise clothis, and puttide a brasun basynet on his heed, and clothide hym with an haburioun.
39 大衛把刀跨在戰衣外,試試能走不能走;因為素來沒有穿慣,就對掃羅說:「我穿戴這些不能走,因為素來沒有穿慣。」於是摘脫了。
Therfor Dauid was gird with his swerd on his cloth, and bigan to asaie if he myyte go armed; for he hadde not custom. And Dauid seide to Saul, Y may not go so, for Y haue not vss. And Dauid puttide awei tho,
40 他手中拿杖,又在溪中挑選了五塊光滑石子,放在袋裏,就是牧人帶的囊裏;手中拿着甩石的機弦,就去迎那非利士人。
and he took his staaf, which he hadde euere in the hondis. And he chees to hym fyue clereste stonys, that is, harde, pleyn, and rounde, of the stronde; and he sente tho in to the schepherdis scrippe, which he hadde with hym; and he took the slynge in the hond, and yede forth ayens the Filistei.
41 非利士人也漸漸地迎着大衛來,拿盾牌的走在前頭。
Sotheli the Filistei yede, `goynge and neiyyng ayens Dauid; and his squyer yede bifor hym.
42 非利士人觀看,見了大衛,就藐視他;因為他年輕,面色光紅,容貌俊美。
And whanne `the Filistei hadde biholde Dauid, and hadde seyn hym, he dispiside Dauid; forsothe Dauid was a yong wexynge man, rodi, and feir in siyt.
43 非利士人對大衛說:「你拿杖到我這裏來,我豈是狗呢?」非利士人就指着自己的神咒詛大衛。
And `the Filistei, seide to Dauid, Whether Y am a dogge, for thou comest to me with a staf? And `the Filistei curside Dauid in hise goddis; and he seide to Dauid,
44 非利士人又對大衛說:「來吧!我將你的肉給空中的飛鳥、田野的走獸吃。」
Come thou to me, and Y schal yyue thi fleischis to the `volatilis of heuene, and to the beestis of erthe.
45 大衛對非利士人說:「你來攻擊我,是靠着刀槍和銅戟;我來攻擊你,是靠着萬軍之耶和華的名,就是你所怒罵帶領以色列軍隊的上帝。
Sotheli Dauid seide to `the Filistei, Thou comest to me with swerd, and spere, and scheeld; but Y come to thee in the name of the Lord God of oostis, of God of the cumpanyes of Israel, to whiche thou seidist schenschip to dai.
46 今日耶和華必將你交在我手裏。我必殺你,斬你的頭,又將非利士軍兵的屍首給空中的飛鳥、地上的野獸吃,使普天下的人都知道以色列中有上帝;
And the Lord schal yyue thee in myn hond, and Y schal sle thee, and Y schal take awey thin heed fro thee; and I schal yyue the deed bodies of the castels of Filisteis `to day to the volatils of heuene, and to the beestis of erthe; that al the erthe wite, that the Lord God is in Israel,
47 又使這眾人知道耶和華使人得勝,不是用刀用槍,因為爭戰的勝敗全在乎耶和華。他必將你們交在我們手裏。」
and that al this chirche knowe, that the Lord saueth not in swerd nether in spere; for the batel is his, and he schal bitake you in to oure hondis.
48 非利士人起身,迎着大衛前來。大衛急忙迎着非利士人,往戰場跑去。
Therfor whanne the Filistei hadde rise, and cam, and neiyede ayens Dauid, Dauid hastide, and ran to batel ayens `the Filistei.
49 大衛用手從囊中掏出一塊石子來,用機弦甩去,打中非利士人的額,石子進入額內,他就仆倒,面伏於地。
And Dauid putte his hond `in to his scrippe, and he took o stoon, and he castide with the slynge, `and ledde aboute, and smoot `the Filistei in the forheed; and the stoon was fastned in his forheed, and he felde doun in to his face on the erthe.
50 這樣,大衛用機弦甩石,勝了那非利士人,打死他;大衛手中卻沒有刀。
And Dauid hadde the maistrie ayens `the Filistei `in a slyng and stoon, and he killide `the Filistei smytun. And whanne Dauid hadde no swerd in the hond,
51 大衛跑去,站在非利士人身旁,將他的刀從鞘中拔出來,殺死他,割了他的頭。非利士眾人看見他們討戰的勇士死了,就都逃跑。
he ran, and stood on `the Filistei, and took his swerd; and Dauid drow out the swerd of his schethe, and `killide him, and kittide awei his heed. Forsothe the Filisteis sien, that the strongeste of hem was deed, and thei fledden.
52 以色列人和猶大人便起身吶喊,追趕非利士人,直到迦特和以革倫的城門。被殺的非利士人倒在沙拉音的路上,直到迦特和以革倫。
And the sones of Israel and of Juda risiden to gidere, and crieden, and pursueden Filisteis, `til the while thei camen in to the valei, and `til to the yate of Accaron. And woundid men of Filisteis felden in the weye of Sarym, and `til to Geth, and `til to Accaron.
53 以色列人追趕非利士人回來,就奪了他們的營盤。
And the sones of Israel turneden ayen, aftir that thei hadden pursuede Filisteis, and thei assailiden `the tentis of hem.
54 大衛將那非利士人的頭拿到耶路撒冷,卻將他軍裝放在自己的帳棚裏。
Forsothe Dauid took the heed of `the Filistei, and brouyte it in to Jerusalem; sotheli he puttide hise armeris in the `tabernacle of the Lord.
55 掃羅看見大衛去攻擊非利士人,就問元帥押尼珥說:「押尼珥啊,那少年人是誰的兒子?」押尼珥說:「我敢在王面前起誓,我不知道。」
Forsothe in that tyme in which Saul siy Dauid goynge out ayens `the Filistei, he seide to Abner, prince of his chiualrie, Abner, of what generacioun `cam forth this yong waxynge man? And Abner seide, Kyng, thi soule lyueth, I knowe not.
56 王說:「你可以問問那幼年人是誰的兒子。」
And the kyng seide, Axe thou, whos sone this child is.
57 大衛打死非利士人回來,押尼珥領他到掃羅面前,他手中拿着非利士人的頭。
And whanne Dauid hadde come ayen, whanne `the Filistei was slayn, Abner took Dauid, and brouyte hym in, hauynge in the hond the heed of `the Filistei, `bifor Saul.
58 掃羅問他說:「少年人哪,你是誰的兒子?」大衛說:「我是你僕人伯利恆人耶西的兒子。」
And Saul seide to hym, Of what generacioun art thou, yong waxynge man? And Dauid seide, Y am the sone of thi seruaunt, Isai of Bethleem.
