1 Samuel 18
1 And it happened that, when he had completed speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan adhered to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him like his own soul.
大卫对扫罗说完了话，约拿单的心与大卫的心深相契合。约拿单爱大卫，如同爱自己的性命。
2 And Saul took him that day, and would not permit him to return to his father’s house.
那日扫罗留住大卫，不容他再回父家。
3 Then David and Jonathan formed a pact. For he loved him like his own soul.
约拿单爱大卫如同爱自己的性命，就与他结盟。
4 And Jonathan took off the coat that he was wearing, and he gave it to David, with the rest of his garments, even to his sword and bow, and even his belt.
约拿单从身上脱下外袍，给了大卫，又将战衣、刀、弓、腰带都给了他。
5 Also, David went out to do everything whatsoever that Saul sent him to do, and he conducted himself prudently. And Saul set him over men of war. And he was acceptable in the eyes of the entire people, and most of all in the sight of the servants of Saul.
扫罗无论差遣大卫往何处去，他都做事精明。扫罗就立他作战士长，众百姓和扫罗的臣仆无不喜悦。
6 Now when David returned, after he had struck down the Philistine, the women went out, from all the cities of Israel, leading the singing and dancing, rejoicing with timbrels and bells, so as to meet king Saul.
大卫打死了那非利士人，同众人回来的时候，妇女们从以色列各城里出来，欢欢喜喜，打鼓击磬，歌唱跳舞，迎接扫罗王。
7 And the women sang, as they played, saying, “Saul has struck down a thousand, and David ten thousand.”
众妇女舞蹈唱和，说：“扫罗杀死千千，大卫杀死万万。”
8 Then Saul became exceedingly angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes. And he said: “They have given David ten thousand, and to me they gave only one thousand. What is left for him, except the kingdom itself?”
扫罗甚发怒，不喜悦这话，就说：“将万万归大卫，千千归我，只剩下王位没有给他了。”
9 Therefore, Saul did not regard David with a good eye, from that day and thereafter.
从这日起，扫罗就怒视大卫。
10 Then, on the next day, the evil spirit from God assailed Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand, just as at every other time. And Saul held a lance in his hand.
次日，从 神那里来的恶魔大大降在扫罗身上，他就在家中胡言乱语。大卫照常弹琴，扫罗手里拿着枪。
11 And he threw it, thinking that he would be able to fix David to the wall. And David stepped aside twice, from before his face.
扫罗把枪一抡，心里说，我要将大卫刺透，钉在墙上。大卫躲避他两次。
12 And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, but he had withdrawn from Saul.
扫罗惧怕大卫；因为耶和华离开自己，与大卫同在。
13 Therefore, Saul sent him away from himself, and he made him tribune over one thousand men. And he entered and departed in the sight of the people.
所以扫罗使大卫离开自己，立他为千夫长，他就领兵出入。
14 Also, David acted prudently in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
大卫做事无不精明，耶和华也与他同在。
15 And so, Saul saw that he was exceedingly prudent, and he began to be wary of him.
扫罗见大卫做事精明，就甚怕他。
16 But all of Israel and Judah loved David. For he entered and departed before them.
但以色列和犹大众人都爱大卫，因为他领他们出入。
17 And Saul said to David: “Behold, my elder daughter, Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be a valiant man, and fight the wars of the Lord.” Now Saul was considering within himself, saying, “Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon him.”
扫罗对大卫说：“我将大女儿米拉给你为妻，只要你为我奋勇，为耶和华争战。”扫罗心里说：“我不好亲手害他，要借非利士人的手害他。”
18 Then David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, and what is my father’s kinship within Israel, that I should be the son-in-law of the king?”
大卫对扫罗说：“我是谁，我是什么出身，我父家在以色列中是何等的家，岂敢作王的女婿呢？”
19 Then it happened that, at the time when Merab, the daughter of Saul, was to be given to David, she was given to Adriel, the Meholathite, as wife.
扫罗的女儿米拉到了当给大卫的时候，扫罗却给了米何拉人亚得列为妻。
20 Now Michal, the other daughter of Saul, loved David. And this was reported to Saul, and it pleased him.
扫罗的次女米甲爱大卫。有人告诉扫罗，扫罗就喜悦。
21 And Saul said, “I will give her to him, so that she may be a stumbling block to him, and so that the hand of the Philistines may be upon him.” And Saul said to David, “In two things, you shall be my son-in-law today.”
扫罗心里说：“我将这女儿给大卫，作他的网罗，好借非利士人的手害他。”所以扫罗对大卫说：“你今日可以第二次作我的女婿。”
22 And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: “Behold, you are pleasing to the king, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, be the son-in-law of the king.”
扫罗吩咐臣仆说：“你们暗中对大卫说：‘王喜悦你，王的臣仆也都喜爱你，所以你当作王的女婿。’”
23 And the servants of Saul spoke all these words to the ears of David. And David said: “Does it seem a small matter to you, to be the son-in-law of the king? I am but a poor and unimportant man.”
扫罗的臣仆就照这话说给大卫听。大卫说：“你们以为作王的女婿是一件小事吗？我是贫穷卑微的人。”
24 And the servants reported to Saul, saying, “David has spoken words in this manner.”
扫罗的臣仆回奏说，大卫所说的如此如此。
25 Then Saul said, “Speak in this way to David: The king does not have need of any dowry, but only one hundred foreskins from the Philistine men, so that he may be vindicated from the enemies of the king.” So did Saul think to deliver David into the hands of the Philistines.
扫罗说：“你们要对大卫这样说：‘王不要什么聘礼，只要一百非利士人的阳皮，好在王的仇敌身上报仇。’”扫罗的意思要使大卫丧在非利士人的手里。
26 And when his servants had repeated to David the words that Saul had spoken, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David, so that he would become son-in-law of the king.
扫罗的臣仆将这话告诉大卫，大卫就欢喜作王的女婿。日期还没有到，
27 And after a few days, David, rising up, went with the men who were under him, and he struck down two hundred men of the Philistines. And he brought their foreskins, and he counted them out for the king, so that he might be his son-in-law. And so, Saul gave to him his daughter Michal as wife.
大卫和跟随他的人起身前往，杀了二百非利士人，将阳皮满数交给王，为要作王的女婿。于是扫罗将女儿米甲给大卫为妻。
28 And Saul saw and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michal, the daughter of Saul, loved him.
扫罗见耶和华与大卫同在，又知道女儿米甲爱大卫，
29 And Saul began to fear David all the more. And Saul became the enemy of David, every day.
就更怕大卫，常作大卫的仇敌。
30 And the leaders of the Philistines departed. And from the beginning of their departure, David conducted himself more prudently than all the servants of Saul, and his name became exceedingly celebrated.
每逢非利士军长出来打仗，大卫比扫罗的臣仆做事精明，因此他的名被人尊重。
