< Kings II 16 >
1 And David passed on a little way from Ros; and, behold, Siba the servant of Memphibosthe [came] to meet him; and he had a couple of asses laden, and upon them two hundred loaves, and a hundred [bunches of] raisins, and a hundred [cakes of] dates, and bottle of wine.
大卫刚过山顶,见米非波设的仆人洗巴拉着备好了的两匹驴,驴上驮着二百面饼,一百葡萄饼,一百个夏天的果饼,一皮袋酒来迎接他。
2 And the king said to Siba, What meanest you by these? and Siba, said, The asses [are] for the household of the king to sit upon, and the loaves and the dates [are] for the young men to eat, and the wine [is] for them that are faint in the wilderness to drink.
王问洗巴说:“你带这些来是什么意思呢?”洗巴说:“驴是给王的家眷骑的;面饼和夏天的果饼是给少年人吃的;酒是给在旷野疲乏人喝的。”
3 And the king said, And where [is] the son of your master? and Siba said to the king, Behold, he remains in Jerusalem; for he said, To-day shall the house of Israel restore to me the kingdom of my father.
王问说:“你主人的儿子在哪里呢?”洗巴回答王说:“他仍在耶路撒冷,因他说:‘以色列人今日必将我父的国归还我。’”
4 And the king said to Siba, Behold, all Memphibosthe's property [is] your. And Siba did obeisance and said, My lord, O king, let me find grace in your eyes.
王对洗巴说:“凡属米非波设的都归你了。”洗巴说:“我叩拜我主我王,愿我在你眼前蒙恩。”
5 And king David came to Baurim; and, behold, there came out from thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, and his name [was] Semei the son of Gera. He came forth and cursed as he went,
大卫王到了巴户琳,见有一个人出来,是扫罗族基拉的儿子,名叫示每。他一面走一面咒骂,
6 and cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on the right and left hand of the king.
又拿石头砍大卫王和王的臣仆;众民和勇士都在王的左右。
7 And thus Semei said when he cursed him, Go out, go out, you bloody man, and man of sin.
示每咒骂说:“你这流人血的坏人哪,去吧去吧!
8 The Lord has returned upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, because you have reigned in his stead; and the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of Abessalom your son: and, behold, you [are taken] in your mischief, because you [are] a bloody man.
你流扫罗全家的血,接续他作王;耶和华把这罪归在你身上,将这国交给你儿子押沙龙。现在你自取其祸,因为你是流人血的人。”
9 And Abessa the son of Saruia said to the king, Why does this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over now and take off his head.
洗鲁雅的儿子亚比筛对王说:“这死狗岂可咒骂我主我王呢?求你容我过去,割下他的头来。”
10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Saruia? even let him alone, and so let him curse, for the Lord has told him to curse David: and who shall say, Why have you done thus?
王说:“洗鲁雅的儿子,我与你们有何关涉呢?他咒骂是因耶和华吩咐他说:‘你要咒骂大卫。’如此,谁敢说你为什么这样行呢?”
11 And David said to Abessa and to all his servants, Behold, my son who came forth out of my bowels seeks my life; still more now may the son of Benjamin: let him curse, because the Lord has told him.
大卫又对亚比筛和众臣仆说:“我亲生的儿子尚且寻索我的性命,何况这便雅悯人呢?由他咒骂吧!因为这是耶和华吩咐他的。
12 If by any means the Lord may look on my affliction, thus shall he return me good for his cursing this day.
或者耶和华见我遭难,为我今日被这人咒骂,就施恩与我。”
13 And David and all the men with him went on the way: and Semei went by the side of the hill next to him, cursing as he went, and casting stones at him, and sprinkling him with dirt.
于是大卫和跟随他的人往前行走。示每在大卫对面山坡,一面行走一面咒骂,又拿石头砍他,拿土扬他。
14 And the king, and all the people with him, came away and refreshed themselves there.
王和跟随他的众人疲疲乏乏地到了一个地方,就在那里歇息歇息。
15 And Abessalom and all the men of Israel went into Jerusalem, and Achitophel with him.
押沙龙和以色列众人来到耶路撒冷;亚希多弗也与他同来。
16 And it came to pass when Chusi the chief friend of David came to Abessalom, that Chusi said to Abessalom, Let the king live.
大卫的朋友亚基人户筛去见押沙龙,对他说:“愿王万岁!愿王万岁!”
17 And Abessalom said to Chusi, [Is] this your kindness to your friend? why went you not forth with your friend?
押沙龙问户筛说:“这是你恩待朋友吗?为什么不与你的朋友同去呢?”
18 And Chusi said to Abessalom, Nay, but following whom the Lord, and this people, and all Israel have chosen, —his will I be, and with him I will dwell.
户筛对押沙龙说:“不然,耶和华和这民,并以色列众人所拣选的,我必归顺他,与他同住。
19 And again, whom shall I serve? should I not in the presence of his son? As I served in the sight of your father, so will I be in your presence.
再者,我当服事谁呢?岂不是前王的儿子吗?我怎样服事你父亲,也必照样服事你。”
20 And Abessalom said to Achitophel, Deliberate among yourselves concerning what we should do.
押沙龙对亚希多弗说:“你们出个主意,我们怎样行才好?”
21 And Achitophel said to Abessalom, Go in to your father's concubines, whom he left to keep his house; and all Israel shall hear that you have dishonored your father; and the hands of all that are with you shall be strengthened.
亚希多弗对押沙龙说:“你父所留下看守宫殿的妃嫔,你可以与她们亲近。以色列众人听见你父亲憎恶你,凡归顺你人的手就更坚强。”
22 And they pitched a tent for Abessalom on the roof, and Abessalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
于是人为押沙龙在宫殿的平顶上支搭帐棚;押沙龙在以色列众人眼前,与他父的妃嫔亲近。
23 And the counsel of Achitophel, which he counselled in former days, [was] as if one should enquire of the word of God: so [was] all the counsel of Achitophel both to David and also to Abessalom.
那时亚希多弗所出的主意好像人问 神的话一样;他昔日给大卫,今日给押沙龙所出的主意,都是这样。
