1 Samuel 23
1 And they declare to David, saying, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are spoiling the threshing-floors.”
有人告诉大卫说：“非利士人攻击基伊拉，抢夺禾场。”
2 And David inquires of YHWH, saying, “Do I go? And have I struck among these Philistines?” And YHWH says to David, “Go, and you have struck among the Philistines, and saved Keilah.”
所以大卫求问耶和华说：“我去攻打那些非利士人可以不可以？”耶和华对大卫说：“你可以去攻打非利士人，拯救基伊拉。”
3 And David’s men say to him, “Behold, we here in Judah are afraid; and how much more when we go to Keilah, to the ranks of the Philistines?”
跟随大卫的人对他说：“我们在犹大地这里尚且惧怕，何况往基伊拉去攻打非利士人的军旅呢？”
4 And David adds again to inquire of YHWH, and YHWH answers him and says, “Rise, go down to Keilah, for I am giving the Philistines into your hand.”
大卫又求问耶和华。耶和华回答说：“你起身下基伊拉去，我必将非利士人交在你手里。”
5 And David goes, and his men, to Keilah, and fights with the Philistines, and leads away their livestock, and strikes among them [with] a great striking, and David saves the inhabitants of Keilah.
大卫和跟随他的人往基伊拉去，与非利士人打仗，大大杀败他们，又夺获他们的牲畜。这样，大卫救了基伊拉的居民。
6 And it comes to pass, in the fleeing of Abiathar son of Ahimelech to David, to Keilah, an ephod came down in his hand.
亚希米勒的儿子亚比亚他逃到基伊拉见大卫的时候，手里拿着以弗得。
7 And it is declared to Saul that David has come to Keilah, and Saul says, “God has made him known for my hand, for he has been shut in, to enter into a city of doors and bar.”
有人告诉扫罗说：“大卫到了基伊拉。”扫罗说：“他进了有门有闩的城，困闭在里头；这是 神将他交在我手里了。”
8 And Saul summons all the people to the battle, to go down to Keilah, to lay siege to David and to his men.
于是扫罗招聚众民，要下去攻打基伊拉城，围困大卫和跟随他的人。
9 And David knows that Saul is devising the evil against him and says to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod near.”
大卫知道扫罗设计谋害他，就对祭司亚比亚他说：“将以弗得拿过来。”
10 And David says, “YHWH, God of Israel, Your servant has certainly heard that Saul is seeking to come to Keilah, to destroy the city on my account.
大卫祷告说：“耶和华—以色列的 神啊，你仆人听真了扫罗要往基伊拉来，为我的缘故灭城。
11 Do the possessors of Keilah shut me up into his hand? Does Saul come down as Your servant has heard? YHWH, God of Israel, please declare [it] to Your servant.” And YHWH says, “He comes down.”
基伊拉人将我交在扫罗手里不交？扫罗照着你仆人所听的话下来不下来？耶和华—以色列的 神啊，求你指示仆人！”耶和华说：“扫罗必下来。”
12 And David says, “Do the possessors of Keilah shut up me and my men into the hand of Saul?” And YHWH says, “They shut [you] up.”
大卫又说：“基伊拉人将我和跟随我的人交在扫罗手里不交？”耶和华说：“必交出来。”
13 And David rises—and his men—about six hundred men, and they go out from Keilah, and go up and down where they go up and down; and it has been declared to Saul that David has escaped from Keilah, and he ceases to go out.
大卫和跟随他的约有六百人，就起身出了基伊拉，往他们所能往的地方去。有人告诉扫罗，大卫离开基伊拉逃走；于是扫罗不出来了。
14 And David abides in the wilderness, in fortresses, and abides in the hill-country, in the wilderness of Ziph; and Saul seeks him [for] all the days, and God has not given him into his hand.
大卫住在旷野的山寨里，常在西弗旷野的山地。扫罗天天寻索大卫， 神却不将大卫交在他手里。
15 And David sees that Saul has come out to seek his life, and David [is] in the wilderness of Ziph, in a forest.
大卫知道扫罗出来寻索他的命。那时，他住在西弗旷野的树林里；
16 And Jonathan son of Saul rises, and goes to David [in the] forest, and strengthens his hand in God,
扫罗的儿子约拿单起身，往那树林里去见大卫，使他倚靠 神得以坚固，
17 and says to him, “Do not fear, for the hand of my father Saul does not find you, and you reign over Israel, and I am to you for second, and also so knows my father Saul.”
对他说：“不要惧怕！我父扫罗的手必不加害于你；你必作以色列的王，我也作你的宰相。这事我父扫罗知道了。”
18 And both of them make a covenant before YHWH; and David abides in the forest, and Jonathan has gone to his house.
于是二人在耶和华面前立约。大卫仍住在树林里，约拿单回家去了。
19 And the Ziphites go up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is David not hiding himself with us in fortresses, in the forest, in the height of Hachilah, which [is] on the south of the desolate place?
西弗人上到基比亚见扫罗，说：“大卫不是在我们那里的树林里山寨中、旷野南边的哈基拉山藏着吗？
20 And now, by all the desire of your soul, O king, to come down, come down, and ours [is] to shut him up into the hand of the king.”
王啊，请你随你的心愿下来，我们必亲自将他交在王的手里。”
21 And Saul says, “Blessed [are] you of YHWH, for you have pity on me;
扫罗说：“愿耶和华赐福与你们，因你们顾恤我。
22 now go prepare yet, and know and see his place where his foot is; who has seen him there? For [one] has said to me, He is very cunning.
请你们回去，再确实查明他的住处和行踪，是谁看见他在那里，因为我听见人说他甚狡猾。
23 And see and know of all the hiding places where he hides himself, and you have turned back prepared to me, and I have gone with you, and it has been, if he is in the land, that I have searched him out through all the thousands of Judah.”
所以要看准他藏匿的地方，回来据实地告诉我，我就与你们同去。他若在犹大的境内，我必从千门万户中搜出他来。”
24 And they rise and go to Ziph before Saul, and David and his men [are] in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain, at the south of the desolate place.
西弗人就起身，在扫罗以先往西弗去。 大卫和跟随他的人却在玛云旷野南边的亚拉巴。
25 And Saul and his men go to seek, and they declare [it] to David, and he goes down the rock, and abides in the wilderness of Maon; and Saul hears, and pursues after David [to] the wilderness of Maon.
扫罗和跟随他的人去寻找大卫；有人告诉大卫，他就下到磐石，住在玛云的旷野。扫罗听见，便在玛云的旷野追赶大卫。
26 And Saul goes on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain, and David is hurried to go from the face of Saul, and Saul and his men are surrounding David and his men, to catch them.
扫罗在山这边走，大卫和跟随他的人在山那边走。大卫急忙躲避扫罗；因为扫罗和跟随他的人，四面围住大卫和跟随他的人，要拿获他们。
27 And a messenger has come to Saul, saying, “Hurry, and come, for the Philistines have pushed against the land.”
忽有使者来报告扫罗说：“非利士人犯境抢掠，请王快快回去！”
28 And Saul turns back from pursuing after David, and goes to meet the Philistines, therefore they have called that place “The Rock of Divisions.”
于是扫罗不追赶大卫，回去攻打非利士人。因此那地方名叫西拉·哈玛希罗结。
29 And David goes up there, and abides in fortresses [at] En-gedi.
大卫从那里上去，住在隐·基底的山寨里。
