< 1 Samuel 22 >
1 And David goes from there, and escapes to the cave of Adullam, and his brothers hear, and all the house of his father, and they go down to him there;
大卫就离开那里,逃到亚杜兰洞。他的弟兄和他父亲的全家听见了,就都下到他那里。
2 and every man in distress gathers themselves to him, and every man who has an exactor, and every man bitter in soul, and he is for head over them, and there are about four hundred men with him.
凡受窘迫的、欠债的、心里苦恼的都聚集到大卫那里;大卫就作他们的头目,跟随他的约有四百人。
3 And David goes from there to Mizpeh of Moab and says to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come out with you, until I know what God does for me”;
大卫从那里往摩押的米斯巴去,对摩押王说:“求你容我父母搬来,住在你们这里,等我知道 神要为我怎样行。”
4 and he leads them before the king of Moab, and they dwell with him all the days of David’s being in the fortress.
大卫领他父母到摩押王面前。大卫住山寨多少日子,他父母也住摩押王那里多少日子。
5 And the prophet Gad says to David, “You do not abide in a fortress, go, and you have entered the land of Judah for yourself”; and David goes and enters the forest of Hareth.
先知迦得对大卫说:“你不要住在山寨,要往犹大地去。”大卫就离开那里,进入哈列的树林。
6 And Saul hears that David has become known, and the men who [are] with him, and Saul is abiding in Gibeah, under the grove in Ramah, and his spear [is] in his hand, and all his servants [are] standing by him.
扫罗在基比亚的拉玛,坐在垂丝柳树下,手里拿着枪,众臣仆侍立在左右。扫罗听见大卫和跟随他的人在何处,
7 And Saul says to his servants who are standing by him, “Now hear, sons of Benjamin; does the son of Jesse also give fields and vineyards to all of you? Does he appoint all of you [to be] heads of thousands and heads of hundreds?
就对左右侍立的臣仆说:“便雅悯人哪,你们要听我的话!耶西的儿子能将田地和葡萄园赐给你们各人吗?能立你们各人作千夫长百夫长吗?
8 For all of you have conspired against me, and there is none uncovering my ear about my son’s cutting [a covenant] with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you grieving for me, and uncovering my ear, that my son has raised up my servant against me, to lie in wait as [at] this day.”
你们竟都结党害我!我的儿子与耶西的儿子结盟的时候,无人告诉我;我的儿子挑唆我的臣子谋害我,就如今日的光景,也无人告诉我,为我忧虑。”
9 And Doeg the Edomite answers, who is set over the servants of Saul, and says, “I have seen the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech son of Ahitub,
那时以东人多益站在扫罗的臣仆中,对他说:“我曾看见耶西的儿子到了挪伯,亚希突的儿子亚希米勒那里。
10 and he inquires of YHWH for him, and has given provision to him, and has given the sword of Goliath the Philistine to him.”
亚希米勒为他求问耶和华,又给他食物,并给他杀非利士人歌利亚的刀。”
11 And the king sends to call Ahimelech son of Ahitub, the priest, and all the house of his father, the priests, who [are] in Nob, and all of them come to the king;
王就打发人将祭司亚希突的儿子亚希米勒和他父亲的全家,就是住挪伯的祭司都召了来;他们就来见王。
12 and Saul says, “Now hear, son of Ahitub”; and he says, “Here I [am], my lord.”
扫罗说:“亚希突的儿子,要听我的话!”他回答说:“主啊,我在这里。”
13 And Saul says to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, by your giving bread and a sword to him, and to inquire of God for him, to rise against me, to lie in wait, as [at] this day?”
扫罗对他说:“你为什么与耶西的儿子结党害我,将食物和刀给他,又为他求问 神,使他起来谋害我,就如今日的光景?”
14 And Ahimelech answers the king and says, “And who among all your servants [is] as David—faithful, and son-in-law of the king, and has turned aside to your council, and is honored in your house?
亚希米勒回答王说:“王的臣仆中有谁比大卫忠心呢?他是王的女婿,又是王的参谋,并且在王家中是尊贵的。
15 Today have I begun to inquire of God for him? Far be it from me! Do not let the king lay anything against his servant, against any of the house of my father, for your servant has known nothing of all this, little or much.”
我岂是从今日才为他求问 神呢?断不是这样!王不要将罪归我和我父的全家;因为这事,无论大小,仆人都不知道。”
16 And the king says, “You surely die, Ahimelech, you and all the house of your father.”
王说:“亚希米勒啊,你和你父的全家都是该死的!”
17 And the king says to the runners, those standing by him, “Turn around, and put the priests of YHWH to death, because their hand [is] also with David, and because they have known that he is fleeing, and have not uncovered my ear”; and the servants of the king have not been willing to put forth their hand to come against the priests of YHWH.
王就吩咐左右的侍卫说:“你们去杀耶和华的祭司;因为他们帮助大卫,又知道大卫逃跑,竟没有告诉我。”扫罗的臣子却不肯伸手杀耶和华的祭司。
18 And the king says to Doeg, “Turn around, and come against the priests”; and Doeg the Edomite turns around, and comes against the priests himself, and in that day puts to death eighty-five men bearing a linen ephod,
王吩咐多益说:“你去杀祭司吧!”以东人多益就去杀祭司,那日杀了穿细麻布以弗得的八十五人;
19 and Nob, the city of the priests, he has struck by the mouth of the sword, from man and to woman, from infant and to suckling, and ox, and donkey, and sheep, by the mouth of the sword.
又用刀将祭司城挪伯中的男女、孩童、吃奶的,和牛、羊、驴尽都杀灭。
20 And one son of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, escapes, and his name [is] Abiathar, and he flees after David,
亚希突的儿子亚希米勒有一个儿子,名叫亚比亚他,逃到大卫那里。
21 and Abiathar declares to David that Saul has slain the priests of YHWH.
亚比亚他将扫罗杀耶和华祭司的事告诉大卫。
22 And David says to Abiathar, “I have known on that day when Doeg the Edomite [is] there, that he certainly declares [it] to Saul; I have brought [it] around to every person of the house of your father;
大卫对亚比亚他说:“那日我见以东人多益在那里,就知道他必告诉扫罗。你父的全家丧命,都是因我的缘故。
23 dwell with me; do not fear; for he who seeks my life seeks your life; for you [are my] charge with me.”
你可以住在我这里,不要惧怕。因为寻索你命的就是寻索我的命;你在我这里可得保全。”
