1 Chronicles 14
1 NOW Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
[建造王宮]提洛王希蘭派使臣來見達味，給他送來香柏木，派來石匠和木工，為他建宮室。
2 And David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.
那時達味知道上主已確定他為以色列王，並為了自己的百姓以色列，提高了他的王位。[達味的子女]
3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.
達味在耶路撒冷又娶了妻室，生了許多子女。
4 Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
達味在耶路撒冷所生兒子的名字如下：沙慕亞、芍巴布、納堂、撒羅滿、
5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
依貝哈爾、厄里叔亞、厄里培肋特、
6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
諾加、乃費格、雅非亞、
7 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
厄里沙瑪、貝里雅達和厄里培肋特。[擊敗培肋舍特]
8 And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went out against them.
培肋舍特人聽說達味受傅，為全以色列王，遂都上來向達味尋釁。達味聽說，便出來迎擊。
9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
培肋舍特人上來侵入了勒法因平原。
10 And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.
那時，達味求問天主說：「我可以上去攻打培肋舍特人嗎﹖你將他們交在我手中嗎﹖」上主答應他說：「你上去，我必將他們交在你手中。」
11 So they came up to Baal-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
達味於是上到巴耳培辣親，在那裏擊敗了他們。達味因此說：「天主假我的手使我的敵人崩潰，如水破堤。」因此後人稱這地方為巴耳培辣親。
12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
培肋舍特人把自己的神像都遺棄在那裏，達味命人用火燒毀。
13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
培肋舍特人又侵入平原。
14 Therefore David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
達味又求問天主，天主對他說：「不要一直上去追擊他們，要繞到他們後方，曾桑林那邊抄他們的後路。
15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.
你一聽見桑樹梢上有腳步聲，要即刻出戰，因為天主在你面前出擊培肋舍特人的軍隊。」
16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
達味就照天主所命的行了，擊殺培肋舍特人的軍隊，由基貝紅直到革則爾。
17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.
因此，達味的聲名傳遍了各地，上主使各民族都害怕他。
