Kings II 1
1 And it came to pass after Saul was dead, that David returned from smiting Amalec, and David abode two days in Sekelac.
撒烏耳死後，達味擊殺阿瑪肋克人回來，在漆刻拉格住了兩天。
2 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.
第三天，有個人從撒烏耳營中跑來，衣服撕爛，滿頭灰塵，來到達味前，伏地叩拜。
3 And David said to him, Whence comest thou? and he said to him, I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.
達味問他說：「你從那裏來﹖」他答說：「我從以色列營中逃命而來。」
4 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.
達味又問他說：「戰事怎樣﹖請告訴我! 」他答說：「軍民從戰場上逃跑了，許多人陣亡，撒烏耳和他的兒子約納堂也死了。」
5 And David said to the young man who brought him the tidings, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
達味問那報信的少年人說：「你怎麼知道撒烏耳和他兒子約納堂死了呢﹖」
6 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.
那報信的少年人答說：「我無意中來到基耳波亞山上，看見撒烏耳伏在自己的槍上，戰車和騎兵都快要迫近他。
7 And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called me; and I said, Behold, [here am] I.
他轉身見了我，就招呼我。我答說：我在這裏。
8 And he said to me, Who art thou? and I said, I am an Amalekite.
他問我說：你是誰﹖我答說：我是阿瑪肋克人。
9 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.
他向我說：「來我身邊，殺了我罷! 我現在雖還完全活著，但十分暈眩。
10 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.
我就來到他身邊，明知他倒下後，決不能生存，便殺了他；取下他頭上的王冠，腕上的手鐲，帶到這裏來奉獻給我主。」
11 And David laid hold of his garments, and rent them; and all the men who were with him rent their garments.
達味就抓住自己的衣服撕破了；同他在一起的人也照樣作了。
12 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.
大家為撒烏耳和他的兒子約納堂，以及上主的百姓和以色列的家族，舉哀痛哭，禁食直到晚上，哀悼他們喪身刀下。
13 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.
達味又問那報信的少年說：「你是那裏的﹖」他答說：「我是阿瑪肋克僑民的兒子。」
14 And David said to him, How was it thou wast not afraid to lift thy hand to destroy the anointed of the Lord?
達味向他說：「怎麼你不怕伸手殺害上主的受傅者﹖」
15 And David called one of his young men, and said, Go and fall upon him: and he smote him, and he died.
達味遂叫一個少年人來，向他說：「前來，殺了他! 」少年把他一刀砍死了。
16 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.
同時達味對他說：「你的血應歸在你頭上，因為你親口作供說：我殺死了上主的受傅者。」
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son.
事後，達味作了這首哀歌，追悼撒烏耳和他的兒子約納堂，
18 And he gave orders to teach it the sons of Juda: behold, it is written in the book of Right.
命令猶大子弟學習這首哀歌，這歌載在「壯士書」上：「
19 Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain that died upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
以色列的榮華，倒在你的高岡上；葷英雄怎會陣亡﹖
20 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.
不要在加特報告，不要在阿市刻隆街市宣揚，免得培肋舍特的女子歡樂，免得未受割損者的女郎維雀躍!
21 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.
基耳波亞山，不祥的山野! 在你那裏露不再降，雨不再下! 因為英雄的盾牌，受了褻瀆，撒烏耳的盾牌，那傅油者的武器。
22 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.
對傷者的血，英雄的脂油，約納堂的弓總不後轉，撒烏耳的劍決不空還。
23 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.
撒烏耳與約納堂，相親相愛，生相聚，死不離，神速過鷹，勇猛勝獅。
24 Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you with scarlet together with your adorning, who added golden ornaments to your apparel.
以色列女郎! 應痛悼撒烏耳，他給你們披上了愉快的紫衣，在你們衣服上點綴了金飾。
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, even the slain ones upon thy high places!
英雄怎會在戰鬥中陣亡! 哎，約納堂! 對你的死，我極度哀痛!
26 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.
我的兄弟約納堂，我為你萬分悲傷! 你愛我之情，何等甜蜜! 你對我的愛，勝於婦女之愛。
27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
英雄怎會陣亡! 戰爭的武器怎會喪亡! 」
