撒母耳記上 22
1 大衛就離開那裏，逃到亞杜蘭洞。他的弟兄和他父親的全家聽見了，就都下到他那裏。
David therefore departed there, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.
2 凡受窘迫的、欠債的、心裏苦惱的都聚集到大衛那裏；大衛就作他們的頭目，跟隨他的約有四百人。
Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered themselves to him; and he became captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
3 大衛從那裏往摩押的米斯巴去，對摩押王說：「求你容我父母搬來，住在你們這裏，等我知道上帝要為我怎樣行。」
David went there to Mizpeh of Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and my mother stay with you, until I know what God will do for me."
4 大衛領他父母到摩押王面前。大衛住山寨多少日子，他父母也住摩押王那裏多少日子。
He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
5 先知迦得對大衛說：「你不要住在山寨，要往猶大地去。」大衛就離開那裏，進入哈列的樹林。
The prophet Gad said to David, "Do not stay in the stronghold. Depart, and go into the land of Judah." Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
6 掃羅在基比亞的拉瑪，坐在垂絲柳樹下，手裏拿着槍，眾臣僕侍立在左右。掃羅聽見大衛和跟隨他的人在何處，
Saul heard that David had been discovered, and the men who were with him. Now Saul was in Gibeah, sitting under the tamarisk tree at the high place, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
7 就對左右侍立的臣僕說：「便雅憫人哪，你們要聽我的話！耶西的兒子能將田地和葡萄園賜給你們各人嗎？能立你們各人作千夫長百夫長嗎？
And he said to them, "Hear now, you Benjamites. Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
8 你們竟都結黨害我！我的兒子與耶西的兒子結盟的時候，無人告訴我；我的兒子挑唆我的臣子謀害我，就如今日的光景，也無人告訴我，為我憂慮。」
that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none who discloses to me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?"
9 那時以東人多益站在掃羅的臣僕中，對他說：「我曾看見耶西的兒子到了挪伯，亞希突的兒子亞希米勒那裏。
Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered and said, "I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
10 亞希米勒為他求問耶和華，又給他食物，並給他殺非利士人歌利亞的刀。」
He inquired of God for him, gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine."
11 王就打發人將祭司亞希突的兒子亞希米勒和他父親的全家，就是住挪伯的祭司都召了來；他們就來見王。
Then the king sent to call Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests who were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
12 掃羅說：「亞希突的兒子，要聽我的話！」他回答說：「主啊，我在這裏。」
Saul said, "Hear now, you son of Ahitub." He answered, "Here I am, my lord."
13 掃羅對他說：「你為甚麼與耶西的兒子結黨害我，將食物和刀給他，又為他求問上帝，使他起來謀害我，就如今日的光景？」
Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?"
14 亞希米勒回答王說：「王的臣僕中有誰比大衛忠心呢？他是王的女婿，又是王的參謀，並且在王家中是尊貴的。
Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, "Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and a commander over your bodyguard, and honored in your house?
15 我豈是從今日才為他求問上帝呢？斷不是這樣！王不要將罪歸我和我父的全家；因為這事，無論大小，僕人都不知道。」
Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me. Do not let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knows nothing of all this, less or more."
16 王說：「亞希米勒啊，你和你父的全家都是該死的！」
The king said, "You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you, and all your father's house."
17 王就吩咐左右的侍衛說：「你們去殺耶和華的祭司；因為他們幫助大衛，又知道大衛逃跑，竟沒有告訴我。」掃羅的臣子卻不肯伸手殺耶和華的祭司。
The king said to the guard who stood about him, "Turn, and kill the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me." But the servants of the king wouldn't put forth their hand to fall on the priests of the LORD.
18 王吩咐多益說：「你去殺祭司吧！」以東人多益就去殺祭司，那日殺了穿細麻布以弗得的八十五人；
The king said to Doeg, "Turn and attack the priests." Doeg the Edomite turned, and he attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod.
19 又用刀將祭司城挪伯中的男女、孩童、吃奶的，和牛、羊、驢盡都殺滅。
He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle and donkeys and sheep.
20 亞希突的兒子亞希米勒有一個兒子，名叫亞比亞他，逃到大衛那裏。
One of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
21 亞比亞他將掃羅殺耶和華祭司的事告訴大衛。
Abiathar told David that Saul had slain the LORD's priests.
22 大衛對亞比亞他說：「那日我見以東人多益在那裏，就知道他必告訴掃羅。你父的全家喪命，都是因我的緣故。
Then David said to Abiathar, "I knew on that day that Doeg the Edomite would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for all the lives of your father's house.
23 你可以住在我這裏，不要懼怕。因為尋索你命的就是尋索我的命；你在我這裏可得保全。」
Stay with me, do not be afraid; for he who seeks my life seeks your life. For with me you shall be in safeguard."
