1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit on the soul of David; and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
大卫对扫罗说完了话，约拿单的心与大卫的心深相契合。约拿单爱大卫，如同爱自己的性命。
2 And Saul took him on that day, and would not permit him to go home to his father's house.
那日扫罗留住大卫，不容他再回父家。
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because of his loving him as his own soul.
约拿单爱大卫如同爱自己的性命，就与他结盟。
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that he had upon him, and gave it to David, and likewise his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
约拿单从身上脱下外袍，给了大卫，又将战衣、刀、弓、腰带都给了他。
5 And David went out; whithersoever Saul used to send him, he was successful; and Saul set him over the men of war; and he was accepted in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
扫罗无论差遣大卫往何处去，他都做事精明。扫罗就立他作战士长，众百姓和扫罗的臣仆无不喜悦。
6 And it came to pass as they came home, when David returned from smiting the Philistines, that the women came forth out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with triangles.
大卫打死了那非利士人，同众人回来的时候，妇女们从以色列各城里出来，欢欢喜喜，打鼓击磬，歌唱跳舞，迎接扫罗王。
7 And the women that played answered one another, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
众妇女舞蹈唱和，说：“扫罗杀死千千，大卫杀死万万。”
8 And Saul was very wroth, and this saying was displeasing in his eyes; and he said, They have given unto David ten thousands, and to me they have given the thousands: and all that he lacketh now yet is only the kingdom.
扫罗甚发怒，不喜悦这话，就说：“将万万归大卫，千千归我，只剩下王位没有给他了。”
9 And Saul looked jealous on David from that day and forward.
从这日起，扫罗就怒视大卫。
10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came suddenly over Saul, and he spoke foolish things in the midst of the house: while David was playing with his hand, as on previous days; and the spear was in the hand of Saul.
次日，从 神那里来的恶魔大大降在扫罗身上，他就在家中胡言乱语。大卫照常弹琴，扫罗手里拿着枪。
11 And Saul cast the spear; and he thought, I will strike David through even on the wall. And David turned aside out of his presence twice.
扫罗把枪一抡，心里说，我要将大卫刺透，钉在墙上。大卫躲避他两次。
12 And Saul was afraid of David; because the Lord was with him, and from Saul he was departed.
扫罗惧怕大卫；因为耶和华离开自己，与大卫同在。
13 Therefore Saul removed him from himself, and made him his captain over a thousand: and he went out and came in before the people.
所以扫罗使大卫离开自己，立他为千夫长，他就领兵出入。
14 And David was successful on all his ways; and the Lord was with him.
大卫做事无不精明，耶和华也与他同在。
15 And when Saul saw that he was very successful, he was in dread of him.
扫罗见大卫做事精明，就甚怕他。
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; because he went out and came in before them.
但以色列和犹大众人都爱大卫，因为他领他们出入。
17 And Saul said to David, Behold, here is my eldest daughter Merab, her will I give to thee for wife: only be thou unto me a man of valor, and fight the Lord's battles. And Saul thought, Let not my hand be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.
扫罗对大卫说：“我将大女儿米拉给你为妻，只要你为我奋勇，为耶和华争战。”扫罗心里说：“我不好亲手害他，要借非利士人的手害他。”
18 And David said unto Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, [or] my father's family in Israel, that I should be a son-in-law to the king?
大卫对扫罗说：“我是谁，我是什么出身，我父家在以色列中是何等的家，岂敢作王的女婿呢？”
19 But it happened at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto 'Adriel the Mecholathite for wife.
扫罗的女儿米拉到了当给大卫的时候，扫罗却给了米何拉人亚得列为妻。
20 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told it to Saul, and the thing was right in his eyes.
扫罗的次女米甲爱大卫。有人告诉扫罗，扫罗就喜悦。
21 And Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may become unto him a snare, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Through the second shalt thou this day become my son-in-law.
扫罗心里说：“我将这女儿给大卫，作他的网罗，好借非利士人的手害他。”所以扫罗对大卫说：“你今日可以第二次作我的女婿。”
22 And Saul commanded his servants, Speak to David secretly, saying, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee; and now thou must become the king's son-in-law.
扫罗吩咐臣仆说：“你们暗中对大卫说：‘王喜悦你，王的臣仆也都喜爱你，所以你当作王的女婿。’”
23 And the servants of Saul spoke in the ears of David these words. And David said, Doth it seem so light in your eyes to become the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and of light esteem?
扫罗的臣仆就照这话说给大卫听。大卫说：“你们以为作王的女婿是一件小事吗？我是贫穷卑微的人。”
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, Words such as these David hath spoken.
扫罗的臣仆回奏说，大卫所说的如此如此。
25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged on the king's enemies. But Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.
扫罗说：“你们要对大卫这样说：‘王不要什么聘礼，只要一百非利士人的阳皮，好在王的仇敌身上报仇。’”扫罗的意思要使大卫丧在非利士人的手里。
26 And when his servants told David these words, the thing was pleasing in the eyes of David to become the king's son-in-law: and the days were not complete,
扫罗的臣仆将这话告诉大卫，大卫就欢喜作王的女婿。日期还没有到，
27 When David arose and went, he and his men, and smote of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they counted them out in full to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter for wife.
大卫和跟随他的人起身前往，杀了二百非利士人，将阳皮满数交给王，为要作王的女婿。于是扫罗将女儿米甲给大卫为妻。
28 And Saul saw and understood that the Lord was with David: and Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him.
扫罗见耶和华与大卫同在，又知道女儿米甲爱大卫，
29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy all the time.
就更怕大卫，常作大卫的仇敌。
30 And the princes of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass, whenever they went forth, that David was more successful than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly prized.
每逢非利士军长出来打仗，大卫比扫罗的臣仆做事精明，因此他的名被人尊重。
