1 Samuel 30
1 Bvt when Dauid and his men were come to Ziklag the thirde day, the Amalekites had inuaded vpon the South, euen vnto Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burnt it with fire,
當達味和他的人第三天來到漆刻拉格時，阿瑪肋克人已侵入乃革布和漆刻拉格，將漆刻拉格洗劫，放火燒了，
2 And had taken the women that were therein, prisoners, both small and great, and slewe not a man, but caryed them away, and went their wayes.
將城中的婦女，以及所有的老幼，都擄了去；但沒有殺人，只將他們擄走，回返原路。
3 So Dauid and his men came to the city, and beholde, it was burnt with fire, and their wiues, and their sonnes, and their daughters were taken prisoners.
達味和他的人來到城旁，見城已被火燒毀，他們的妻子兒女盡被據去，
4 Then Dauid and the people that was with him, lift vp their voyces and wept, vntill they could weepe no more.
遂放聲大哭，直哭得聲嘶力竭。
5 Dauids two wiues were taken prisoners also, Ahinoam the Izreelite, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
達味的兩個妻子：依次勒耳人阿希諾罕和曾作加爾默耳人納巴耳妻子的阿彼蓋耳也被據去了。
6 And Dauid was in great sorowe: for the people entended to stone him, because the heartes of all the people were vexed euery man for his sonnes and for his daughters: but Dauid comforted him selfe in the Lord his God.
達味陷入窘境，因為人民各為自己的兒女非常痛心，都說要用石頭打死他；但是達味更加堅固倚靠上主，他的天主。
7 And Dauid saide to Abiathar the Priest Ahimelechs sonne, I pray thee, bring me the Ephod. And Abiathar brought the Ephod to Dauid.
達味對阿希默肋客的兒子厄貝雅塔爾司祭說：「請你將「厄弗得」給我拿來! 」厄貝雅塔爾就將厄弗得」給達味拿了來。
8 Then Dauid asked counsell at the Lord, saying, Shall I follow after this companie? shall I ouertake them? And he answered him, Followe: for thou shalt surely ouertake them, and recouer all.
達味求問上主說：「我該追趕這些土匪嗎﹖我追得上嗎﹖」上主答說：「你去追趕，必能追上，能救回一切」。
9 So Dauid and the sixe hundreth men that were with him, went, and came to the riuer Besor, where a part of them abode:
達味和隨從他的六百人於是立即出發，到了貝索爾河。
10 But Dauid and foure hundreth men followed (for two hundreth abode behinde, being too wearie to goe ouer the riuer Besor)
艮帶著四百人仍向追趕，其餘二百人因為過於疲倦，不能過貝索爾河，就住下了。
11 And they found an Egyptian in the fielde, and brought him to Dauid, and gaue him bread and he did eat, and they gaue him water to drinke.
有人在田間遇見了一個埃及人，把他領到達味前，給他飯吃，給他水喝，
12 Also they gaue him a fewe figges, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirite came againe to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunke any water in three dayes, and three nightes.
又給他一個無花果餅，兩串乾葡萄；他吃了後，精神就恢復了，因為他已三天三夜沒有吃飯喝水了。
13 And Dauid saide vnto him, To whome belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he saide, I am a yong man of Egypt, and seruant to an Amalekite: and my master left me three dayes agoe, because I fell sicke.
達味問他說：「你是誰的人，你是哪裏的﹖」他答說：「我是個埃及少年，為一個阿瑪肋克人做奴隸，因為我害病，我主人拋棄我已三天了。
14 We roued vpon the South of Chereth, and vpon the coast belonging to Iudah, and vpon the South of Caleb, and we burnt Ziklag with fire.
我們侵擊了革肋提人的南部，猶太的南部和加肋布的南部，放火燒了漆刻拉格」。
15 And Dauid saide vnto him, Canst thou bring me to this companie? And he said, Sweare vnto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliuer me into the handes of my master, and I will bring thee to this companie.
達味問他說：「你能領我下到這群土匪那裏去嗎﹖」他答說：「你要指著天主給我起誓：不殺我，也不將我交在我主人手裏，那麼我就領你下到這群土那裏去」。艮對他起了誓，
16 And when he had brought him thither, beholde, they lay scattered abroade vpon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dauncing, because of all the great pray that they had taken out of the lande of the Philistims, and out of the land of Iudah.
他便領他下去了。看，土匪都散在各處，正在吃喝，慶祝他們從培肋舍特和猶大地方搶來的大批勝利品。
17 And Dauid smote them from the twilight, euen vnto the euening of the next morowe, so that there escaped not a man of them, saue foure hundreth yong men, which rode vpon camels, and fled.
達味從天亮直到晚上，擊殺他們，消滅他們，除四百駱馲騎逃走的兵士外，一個也沒有逃脫。
18 And Dauid recouered all that the Amalekites had taken: also Dauid rescued his two wiues.
凡阿瑪肋克人所據去的，達味都救了回來，也救回了他的兩個妻子。
19 And they lacked nothing, small or great, sonne or daughter, or of the spoyle of all that they had taken away: Dauid recouered them all.
凡被據去的，不論老幼，不論子女，不論什麼財物，一個也不缺，達味全都奪了回來。
20 Dauid also tooke all the sheepe, and the oxen, and they draue them before his cattell, and said, This is Dauids pray.
他們奪回了所有牛羊，牽到達味前說：「這的達味的戰利品」。
21 And Dauid came to the two hundreth men that were too wearie for to follow Dauid: whome they had made also to abide at the riuer Besor: and they came to meete Dauid, and to meete the people that were with him: so when Dauid came neere to the people, hee saluted them.
達味回到那二百人那裏，他們因為走路疲乏，不能跟著去，達味就叫他們留在貝索爾河旁，──這些人就前來歡迎跟隨他的軍人也上去向廿請安。
22 Then answered all the euill and wicked of the men that went with Dauid, and saide, Because they went not with vs, therefore will wee giue them none of the pray that wee haue recouered, saue to euery man his wife and his children: therefore let them carie them away and depart.
達味前去的人中，有些不良份子無賴之徒高聲嚷說：「他們既然沒有與我們同去，我們所救回來的財物，什麼也不要分給他們，只他們各自帶自己的妻子和兒女4 回去。
23 Then saide Dauid, Yee shall not doe so, my brethren, with that which the Lord hath giuen vs, who hath preserued vs, and deliuered the companie that came against vs, into our handes.
達味就說：「兄弟們，上主既然這樣恩待我們，保護我們，把這群前來攻擊我們的土匪，父在我們手裏，你們決不能這樣做。
24 For who will obey you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth downe to the battel, so shall his part be, that tarieth by the stuffe: they shall part alike.
在這件事上，誰能依從你們呢﹖那下去打仗的得多少；大家應當平分! 」
25 So from that day forward hee made it a statute and a lawe in Israel, vntill this day.
從那天起，達味給以色列立定了這項至今有效的規律和法律。
26 When Dauid therefore came to Ziklag, he sent of the pray vnto the Elders of Iudah and to his friends, saying, See there is a blessing for you of the spoyle of the enemies of the Lord.
達味回到漆刻拉格，照猶大所有的城邑，從勝利品中拿了些給他們的長說：「請看! 這是由上主敵人的財物中，給你們分送的禮物」。
27 Hee sent to them of Beth-el, and to them of South Ramoth, and to them of Iattir,
就是給了那些在貝突耳的，在辣瑪南方的，在雅提爾的，
28 And to them of Aroer, and to them of Siphmoth, and to them of Eshtemoa,
在阿辣辣的，在息弗摩特的，在厄市特摩的，
29 And to them of Rachal, and to them of the cities of the Ierahmeelites, and to them of the cities of the Kenites,
在加爾默耳的，在耶辣默耳人城中的，在刻尼人城中的，
30 And to them of Hormah, and to them of Chor-ashan, and to them of Athach,
在曷爾瑪的，在波爾阿商的，在阿塔客的，
31 And to them of Hebron, and to all the places where Dauid and his men had hanted.
在赫貝龍的長老，也給了在達味和其他人民曾經漂流過的地方的人。
