1 Samuel 26
1 Againe the Ziphims came vnto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doeth not Dauid hide him selfe in the hill of Hachilah before Ieshimon?
齊弗人來到基貝亞見撒烏耳說：「達味藏在曠野邊緣哈基拉山中。
2 Then Saul arose, and went downe to the wildernes of Ziph, hauing three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, for to seeke Dauid in the wildernesse of Ziph.
撒烏耳遂動身下到齊弗曠野，同他去的約有三千以色列精兵，在齊弗曠野搜捕達味。
3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Ieshimon by the way side. Now Dauid abode in the wildernesse, and he sawe that Saul came after him into the wildernesse.
撒烏耳在曠野邊綠哈拉基山上，靠路旁紮了營。當時達味住在曠野裏，他得知撒烏耳來到曠野搜捕自己，
4 (For Dauid had sent out spies, and vnderstood, that Saul was come in very deede)
遂派出偵探，因而得知撒烏耳確已來到。
5 Then Dauid arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched, and when Dauid beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the sonne of Ner which was his chiefe captaine, (for Saul lay in the fort, and the people pitched round about him)
達味遂起身來到撒烏耳紮營的地方，察看撒烏耳和他的統帥乃爾的兒子阿貝厏爾睡覺的地方：撒烏耳睡在行營中心，他的部隊駐紮在他的四周。
6 Then spake Dauid, and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah, brother to Ioab, saying, Who will go downe with me to Saul to the hoste? Then Abishai said, I will goe downe with thee.
達味就問赫得人阿希默肋客和責魯雅的兒子約阿布的兄弟阿彼瑟說：「誰同我下到撒烏耳的營中去﹖」阿彼瑟答說：「我同你下去」。
7 So Dauid and Abishai came downe to the people by night: and beholde, Saul lay sleeping within the fort, and his speare did sticke in the ground at his head: and Abner and the people lay round about him.
達味和阿彼瑟便在夜間深入敵營，見撒烏耳睡臥在行營中心，他的槍插在頭旁地上，阿貝乃爾和部隊環繞他睡在四周。
8 Then saide Abishai to Dauid, God hath closed thine enemie into thine hande this day: now therefore, I pray thee, let me smite him once with a speare to the earth, and I will not smite him againe.
阿彼瑟對達味說：「今天天主將你的仇人交在你手裏了! 如今讓我用他的槍，把他釘在地上，只一下，不需要給他第二下」。
9 And Dauid sayde to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can lay his hand on the Lordes anoynted, and be giltlesse?
達味卻對阿彼瑟說：「不可殺他! 因為誰敢插手加害上主的受傅者，而能無罪呢﹖」
10 Moreouer Dauid said, As the Lord liueth, eyther the Lord shall smite him, or his day shall come to dye, or he shall descend into battel, and perish.
達味又說：「我指著永生的上主起誓：只有上主可打擊他，或到了他的日子；終於死去，或下到戰場陣亡。
11 The Lord keepe mee from laying mine hand vpon the Lordes anointed: but, I pray thee, take now the speare that is at his head, and the pot of water, and let vs goe hence.
在上主散，我決不頊插手加害上主的受傅者。現今，你快拿去他頭旁的槍和水壺，我們就離去」。
12 So Dauid tooke the speare and the pot of water from Sauls head, and they gate them away, and no man saw it, nor marked it, neither did any awake, but they were all asleepe: for the Lord had sent a dead sleepe vpon them.
達味遂就撒烏耳頭旁拿了槍和水壺，二人就走了。誰也沒有看見，誰也沒有理會，誰也沒有醒來，都沈睡了，因為上主使他們沉入睡夢中。
13 Then Dauid went vnto the other side, and stoode on the toppe of an hill a farre off, a great space being betweene them.
達味走到對面，遠遠站在山頭上，他們彼此相隔很遠，
14 And Dauid cryed to the people, and to Abner the sonne of Ner, saying, Hearest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered, and said, Who art thou that cryest to the King?
達味於是向軍隊和乃爾的兒子阿貝乃爾喊說：「阿貝乃爾! 你不答應嗎﹖」阿貝乃爾答說：「你是誰﹖竟敢吵醒君王! 」
15 And Dauid said to Abner, Art not thou a man? and who is like thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lorde the King? for there came one of the folke in to destroy the King thy lord.
達味對阿貝乃爾說：「你不是個好漢嗎﹖以色列中有誰能與你相比﹖民間來了一個要殺害你的主上君王的，你為什麼沒有好好護守你的主上君王﹖
16 This is not well done of thee: as the Lord liueth, ye are worthy to dye, because ye haue not kept your master the Lordes Anointed: and now see where the Kings speare is, and the pot of water that was at his head.
這事你實在做的不對! 我指著永生的上主起誓：你們都該死，因為你們沒有好好護守你們的主子，上主的受傳者。現今你去看一看君王的槍在哪裏﹖他頭旁的水壺又在哪裏﹖」
17 And Saul knewe Dauids voyce, and sayde, Is this thy voyce, my sonne Dauid? And Dauid sayde, It is my voyce, my lorde O King.
撒烏耳認出是達味的聲音，就說：「我兒達味，這不是你的聲音嗎﹖」達味答說：「我主大王，是我的聲音」。
18 And he sayde, Wherefore doeth my lorde thus persecute his seruant? for what haue I done? or what euill is in mine hand?
遂接著說：「我主為什麼迫害他的僕人﹖我究竟作了什麼惡事﹖
19 Now therefore, I beseech thee, let my lord the King heare the wordes of his seruant. If the Lord haue stirred thee vp against me, let him smell the sauour of a sacrifice: but if the children of men haue done it, cursed be they before the Lord: for they haue cast me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Goe, serue other gods.
如今請我主大王聽他僕人一句話：如果是上主感動你來害我，願衪收納這個祭獻；但是；若是人煽惑你，他們在上主面前是該詛咒的，因為他們今日將我驅逐，不容我分享上主的產業，無異是說：你去，事奉外邦的神吧!
20 Nowe therefore let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the Lord: for the King of Israel is come out to seeke a flea, as one would hunt a partridge in the mountaines.
現今，願我的血不流在很遠的地方，因為以色列的君王出來獵取我的性命，就如人在山上獵取鷓鴣! 」
21 Then sayde Saul, I haue sinned: come againe, my sonne Dauid: for I will doe thee no more harme, because my soule was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I haue done foolishly, and haue erred exceedingly.
撒烏耳說：「我兒達味，我犯了罪，你回去吧! 我再不加害你了! 因為你今天實在珍惜了我的性命。哎! 我太昏愚，實在錯了! 」
22 Then Dauid answered, and saide, Beholde the Kings speare, let one of the yong men come ouer and set it.
達味答說：「這裏有大王的槍，叫一個僕人來去。
23 And let the Lord rewarde euery man according to his righteousnesse and faithfulnesse: for the Lord had deliuered thee into mine handes this day, but I woulde not lay mine hand vpon the Lords anointed.
願上主報答各人的正義和忠誠! 因為今天上主把你交在我手裏，我卻不頊加害上主的受傅者。
24 And beholde, like as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes: so let my life be set by in the eyes of the Lord, that he may deliuer me out of all tribulation.
請看! 我今天怎樣看重了你的性命，也願上主怎樣看重我的性命，從一切憂患中拯救我! 」
25 Then Saul said to Dauid, Blessed art thou, my sonne Dauid: for thou shalt doe great things, and also preuaile. So Dauid went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
撒烏耳對達味說：「我兒達味，你實在是可讚美的，你必有所作為，也必有成就」。然後達味走了，撒烏耳也回了家。
