< 1 Samuel 19 >

1 And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should slay David.
扫罗对他儿子约拿单和众臣仆说,要杀大卫;扫罗的儿子约拿单却甚喜爱大卫。
2 But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David. And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeks to kill thee; and now, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place and hide thyself;
约拿单告诉大卫说:“我父扫罗想要杀你,所以明日早晨你要小心,到一个僻静地方藏身。
3 and I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and will speak of thee with my father: and see what it is, and tell thee.
我就出到你所藏的田里,站在我父亲旁边与他谈论。我看他情形怎样,我必告诉你。”
4 And Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David, because he has not sinned against thee; for also what he did was very advantageous to thee;
约拿单向他父亲扫罗替大卫说好话,说:“王不可得罪王的仆人大卫;因为他未曾得罪你,他所行的都与你大有益处。
5 for he put his life in hand, and smote the Philistine, and Jehovah wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou didst see [it], and didst rejoice; why then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, in slaying David without cause?
他拚命杀那非利士人,耶和华为以色列众人大行拯救;那时你看见,甚是欢喜,现在为何无故要杀大卫,流无辜人的血,自己取罪呢?”
6 And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, [As] Jehovah liveth, he shall not be put to death!
扫罗听了约拿单的话,就指着永生的耶和华起誓说:“我必不杀他。”
7 Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan declared to him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as previously.
约拿单叫大卫来,把这一切事告诉他,带他去见扫罗。他就仍然侍立在扫罗面前。
8 And there was war again; and David went forth and fought with the Philistines, and smote them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
此后又有争战的事。大卫出去与非利士人打仗,大大杀败他们,他们就在他面前逃跑。
9 And an evil spirit from Jehovah was upon Saul. And he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David played with his hand.
从耶和华那里来的恶魔又降在扫罗身上(扫罗手里拿枪坐在屋里),大卫就用手弹琴。
10 And Saul sought to smite David and the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the spear into the wall. And David fled, and escaped that night.
扫罗用枪想要刺透大卫,钉在墙上,他却躲开,扫罗的枪刺入墙内。当夜大卫逃走,躲避了。
11 And Saul sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning; and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to-night, to-morrow thou wilt be put to death.
扫罗打发人到大卫的房屋那里窥探他,要等到天亮杀他。大卫的妻米甲对他说:“你今夜若不逃命,明日你要被杀。”
12 And Michal let David down through a window; and he went, and fled and escaped.
于是米甲将大卫从窗户里缒下去,大卫就逃走,躲避了。
13 And Michal took the image, and laid it in the bed, and put the net of goats' [hair] at its head, and covered it with the coverlet.
米甲把家中的神像放在床上,头枕在山羊毛装的枕头上,用被遮盖。
14 And Saul sent messengers to take David, and she said, He is sick.
扫罗打发人去捉拿大卫,米甲说:“他病了。”
15 And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may put him to death.
扫罗又打发人去看大卫,说:“当连床将他抬来,我好杀他。”
16 And the messengers came in, and behold, the image was in the bed, and the net of goats' [hair] at its head.
使者进去,看见床上有神像,头枕在山羊毛装的枕头上。
17 Then Saul said to Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal said to Saul, He said to me, Let me go; why should I slay thee?
扫罗对米甲说:“你为什么这样欺哄我,放我仇敌逃走呢?”米甲回答说:“他对我说:‘你放我走,不然我要杀你。’”
18 And David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
大卫逃避,来到拉玛见撒母耳,将扫罗向他所行的事述说了一遍。他和撒母耳就往拿约去居住。
19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth by Ramah.
有人告诉扫罗,说大卫在拉玛的拿约。
20 Then Saul sent messengers to take David; and they saw a company of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as president over them; and the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
扫罗打发人去捉拿大卫。去的人见有一班先知都受感说话,撒母耳站在其中监管他们;打发去的人也受 神的灵感动说话。
21 And it was told Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
有人将这事告诉扫罗,他又打发人去,他们也受感说话。扫罗第三次打发人去,他们也受感说话。
22 Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Sechu; and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, at Naioth by Ramah.
然后扫罗自己往拉玛去,到了西沽的大井,问人说:“撒母耳和大卫在哪里呢?”有人说:“在拉玛的拿约。”
23 And he went thither to Naioth by Ramah; and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth by Ramah.
他就往拉玛的拿约去。 神的灵也感动他,一面走一面说话,直到拉玛的拿约。
24 And he himself also stripped off his clothes, and prophesied, himself also, before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?
他就脱了衣服,在撒母耳面前受感说话,一昼一夜露体躺卧。因此有句俗语说:“扫罗也列在先知中吗?”
