1 Samuel 26
1 And the Ziphites went to Saul at Gibeah, saying: “Behold, David is hidden on the hill of Hachilah, which is opposite the wilderness.”
西弗人到基比亚见扫罗，说：“大卫不是在旷野前的哈基拉山藏着吗？”
2 And Saul rose up, and he descended into the desert of Ziph, and with him three thousand elect men of Israel, so that he might seek David in the desert of Ziph.
扫罗就起身，带领以色列人中挑选的三千精兵下到西弗的旷野，要在那里寻索大卫。
3 And Saul encamped at Gibeah on Hachilah, which was opposite the wilderness on the way. But David was living in the desert. Then, seeing that Saul had arrived after him in the wilderness,
扫罗在旷野前的哈基拉山，在道路上安营。大卫住在旷野，听说扫罗到旷野来追寻他，
4 he sent explorers, and he learned that he certainly had arrived in that place.
就打发人去探听，便知道扫罗果然来到。
5 And David rose up secretly, and he went to the place where Saul was. And when he had seen the place where Saul was sleeping, and Abner, the son of Ner, the leader of his military, and Saul sleeping in a tent, and the remainder of the common people all around him,
大卫起来，到扫罗安营的地方，看见扫罗和他的元帅尼珥的儿子押尼珥睡卧之处；扫罗睡在辎重营里，百姓安营在他周围。
6 David spoke to Ahimelech, the Hittite, and to Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, the brother of Joab, saying, “Who will descend with me to Saul in the camp?” And Abishai said, “I will descend with you.”
大卫对赫人亚希米勒和洗鲁雅的儿子约押的兄弟亚比筛说：“谁同我下到扫罗营里去？”亚比筛说：“我同你下去。”
7 Therefore, David and Abishai went to the people by night, and they found Saul lying down and sleeping in the tent, with his spear fixed in the ground at his head. And Abner and the people were sleeping all around him.
于是大卫和亚比筛夜间到了百姓那里，见扫罗睡在辎重营里；他的枪在头旁，插在地上。押尼珥和百姓睡在他周围。
8 And Abishai said to David: “God has enclosed your enemy this day in your hands. Now therefore, I will pierce him with my lance, through to the ground, once, and there will not need to be a second.”
亚比筛对大卫说：“现在 神将你的仇敌交在你手里，求你容我拿枪将他刺透在地，一刺就成，不用再刺。”
9 And David said to Abishai: “You shall not kill him. For who may extend his hand against the Christ of the Lord, and yet be innocent?”
大卫对亚比筛说：“不可害死他。有谁伸手害耶和华的受膏者而无罪呢？”
10 And David said: “As the Lord lives, unless the Lord himself will strike him, or unless his day to die will have arrived, or unless, descending into battle, he will perish,
大卫又说：“我指着永生的耶和华起誓，他或被耶和华击打，或是死期到了，或是出战阵亡；
11 may the Lord be gracious to me, so that I may not extend my hand against the Christ of the Lord. Now therefore, take the spear that is at his head, and the cup of water, and let us go.”
我在耶和华面前，万不敢伸手害耶和华的受膏者。现在你可以将他头旁的枪和水瓶拿来，我们就走。”
12 And so, David took the spear, and the cup of water that was at Saul’s head, and they went away. And there was no one who saw it, or realized it, or awakened, but they were all sleeping. For a deep sleep from the Lord had fallen over them.
大卫从扫罗的头旁拿了枪和水瓶，二人就走了，没有人看见，没有人知道，也没有人醒起，都睡着了，因为耶和华使他们沉沉地睡了。
13 And when David had crossed over to the opposite side, and had stood upon the top of the hill far away, so that there was a great interval between them,
大卫过到那边去，远远地站在山顶上，与他们相离甚远。
14 David cried out to the people, and to Abner, the son of Ner, saying, “Will you not respond, Abner?” And responding, Abner said, “Who are you, that you would cry out and disquiet the king?”
大卫呼叫百姓和尼珥的儿子押尼珥说：“押尼珥啊，你为何不答应呢？”押尼珥说：“你是谁？竟敢呼叫王呢？”
15 And David said to Abner: “Are you not a man? And who else is like you in Israel? Then why have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people entered, so that he might kill the king, your lord.
大卫对押尼珥说：“你不是个勇士吗？以色列中谁能比你呢？民中有人进来要害死王—你的主，你为何没有保护王—你的主呢？
16 This is not good, what you have done. As the Lord lives, you are sons of death, because you have not guarded your lord, the Christ of the Lord. Now therefore, where is the king’s spear, and where is the cup of water that was at his head?”
你这样是不好的！我指着永生的耶和华起誓，你们都是该死的；因为没有保护你们的主，就是耶和华的受膏者。现在你看看王头旁的枪和水瓶在哪里。”
17 Then Saul recognized the voice of David, and he said, “Is this not your voice, my son David?” And David said, “It is my voice, my lord the king.”
扫罗听出是大卫的声音，就说：“我儿大卫，这是你的声音吗？”大卫说：“主—我的王啊，是我的声音”；
18 And he said: “For what reason has my lord pursued his servant? What have I done? Or what evil is there in my hand?
又说：“我做了什么？我手里有什么恶事？我主竟追赶仆人呢？
19 Now therefore, listen, I beg you, my lord the king, to the words of your servant. If the Lord has stirred you up against me, let him make the sacrifice fragrant. But if the sons of men have done so, they are accursed in the sight of the Lord, who has cast me out this day, so that I would not live within the inheritance of the Lord, saying, ‘Go, serve strange gods.’
求我主我王听仆人的话：若是耶和华激发你攻击我，愿耶和华收纳祭物；若是人激发你，愿他在耶和华面前受咒诅；因为他现今赶逐我，不容我在耶和华的产业上有分，说：‘你去事奉别神吧！’
20 And now, let not my blood be poured out upon the earth before the Lord. For the king of Israel has gone out, so that he might seek a flea, just as the partridge is pursued amid the mountains.”
现在求王不要使我的血流在离耶和华远的地方。以色列王出来是寻找一个虼蚤，如同人在山上猎取一个鹧鸪一般。”
21 And Saul said: “I have sinned. Return, my son David. For I will never again do evil to you, because my life has been precious in your eyes this day. For it is apparent that I have acted senselessly, and have been ignorant of very many things.”
扫罗说：“我有罪了！我儿大卫，你可以回来，因你今日看我的性命为宝贵；我必不再加害于你。我是糊涂人，大大错了。”
22 And responding, David said: “Behold, the king’s spear. Let one of the servants of the king cross over and take it.
大卫说：“王的枪在这里，可以吩咐一个仆人过来拿去。
23 And the Lord will repay each one according to his justice and faith. For the Lord has delivered you this day into my hand, but I was not willing to extend my hand against the Christ of the Lord.
今日耶和华将王交在我手里，我却不肯伸手害耶和华的受膏者。耶和华必照各人的公义诚实报应他。
24 And just as your soul has been magnified this day in my eyes, so let my soul be magnified in the eyes of the Lord, and may he free me from all distress.”
我今日重看你的性命，愿耶和华也重看我的性命，并且拯救我脱离一切患难。”
25 Then Saul said to David: “You are blessed, my son David. And whatever you may do, it shall certainly succeed.” And David departed on his way. And Saul returned to his place.
扫罗对大卫说：“我儿大卫，愿你得福！你必做大事，也必得胜。”于是大卫起行，扫罗回他的本处去了。
