< Kings I 29 >
1 And the Philistines gather all their armies to Aphec, and Israel encamped in Aendor, which is in Jezrael.
非利士人将他们的军旅聚到亚弗;以色列人在耶斯列的泉旁安营。
2 And the lords of the Philistines went on by hundreds and thousands, and David and his men went on in the rear with Anchus.
非利士人的首领各率军队,或百或千,挨次前进;大卫和跟随他的人同着亚吉跟在后边。
3 And the lords of the Philistines said, Who [are] these that pass by? And Anchus said to the captains of the Philistines, [Is] not this David the servant of Saul king of Israel? He has been with us some time, even this second year, and I have not found any fault in him from the day that he attached himself to me even until this day.
非利士人的首领说:“这些希伯来人在这里做什么呢?”亚吉对他们说:“这不是以色列王扫罗的臣子大卫吗?他在我这里有些年日了。自从他投降我直到今日,我未曾见他有过错。”
4 And the captains of the Philistines were displeased at him, and they say to him, Send the man away, and let him return to his place, where you did set him; and let him not come with us to the war, and let him not be a traitor in the camp: and wherewith will he be reconciled to his master? Will it not be with the heads of those men?
非利士人的首领向亚吉发怒,对他说:“你要叫这人回你所安置他的地方,不可叫他同我们出战,恐怕他在阵上反为我们的敌人。他用什么与他主人复和呢?岂不是用我们这些人的首级吗?
5 [Is] not this David whom they celebrated in dances, saying, Saul has struck his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
从前以色列的妇女跳舞唱和说:‘扫罗杀死千千,大卫杀死万万’,所说的不是这个大卫吗?”
6 And Anchus called David, and said to him, [As] the Lord lives, you [are] right and approved in my eyes, and [so is] your going out and your coming in with me in the army, and I have not found [any] evil to charge against you from the day that you came to me until this day: but you are not approved in the eyes of the lords.
亚吉叫大卫来,对他说:“我指着永生的耶和华起誓,你是正直人。你随我在军中出入,我看你甚好。自从你投奔我到如今,我未曾见你有什么过失;只是众首领不喜悦你。
7 Now then return and go in peace, thus you shall not do evil in the sight of the lords of the Philistines.
现在你可以平平安安地回去,免得非利士人的首领不欢喜你。”
8 And David said to Anchus, What have I done to you? and what have you found in your servant from the [first] day that I was before you even until this day, that I should not come and war against the enemies of the lord my king?
大卫对亚吉说:“我做了什么呢?自从仆人到你面前,直到今日,你查出我有什么过错,使我不去攻击主—我王的仇敌呢?”
9 And Anchus answered David, I know that you [are] good in my eyes, but the lords of the Philistines say, He shall not come with us to the war.
亚吉说:“我知道你在我眼前是好人,如同 神的使者一般;只是非利士人的首领说:‘这人不可同我们出战。’
10 Now then rise up early in the morning, you and the servants of your lord that are come with you, and go to the place where I appointed you, and entertain no evil thought in your heart, for you [are] good in my sight: and rise early for your journey when it is light, and depart.
故此你和跟随你的人,就是你本主的仆人,要明日早晨起来,等到天亮回去吧!”
11 So David arose early, he and his men, to depart and guard the land of the Philistines: and the Philistines went up to Jezrael to battle.
于是大卫和跟随他的人早晨起来,回往非利士地去。非利士人也上耶斯列去了。
