< 1 Samuel 26 >
1 And the Ziphites come to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is David not hiding himself in the height of Hachilah, on the front of the desert?”
西弗人到基比亚见扫罗,说:“大卫不是在旷野前的哈基拉山藏着吗?”
2 And Saul rises, and goes down to the wilderness of Ziph, and with him [are] three thousand men, chosen ones of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
扫罗就起身,带领以色列人中挑选的三千精兵下到西弗的旷野,要在那里寻索大卫。
3 And Saul encamps in the height of Hachilah, which [is] on the front of the desert, by the way, and David is abiding in the wilderness, and he sees that Saul has come into the wilderness after him;
扫罗在旷野前的哈基拉山,在道路上安营。大卫住在旷野,听说扫罗到旷野来追寻他,
4 and David sends spies, and knows that Saul has come to Nachon,
就打发人去探听,便知道扫罗果然来到。
5 and David rises, and comes to the place where Saul has encamped, and David sees the place where Saul has lain, and Abner son of Ner, head of his host, and Saul is lying in the path, and the people are encamping around him.
大卫起来,到扫罗安营的地方,看见扫罗和他的元帅尼珥的儿子押尼珥睡卧之处;扫罗睡在辎重营里,百姓安营在他周围。
6 And David answers and says to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, “Who goes down with me to Saul, to the camp?” And Abishai says, “I go down with you.”
大卫对赫人亚希米勒和洗鲁雅的儿子约押的兄弟亚比筛说:“谁同我下到扫罗营里去?”亚比筛说:“我同你下去。”
7 And David comes—and Abishai—by night to the people, and behold, Saul is lying sleeping in the path, and his spear is pressed into the earth by his pillow, and Abner and the people are lying around him.
于是大卫和亚比筛夜间到了百姓那里,见扫罗睡在辎重营里;他的枪在头旁,插在地上。押尼珥和百姓睡在他周围。
8 And Abishai says to David, “God has shut up your enemy into your hand today; and now, please let me strike him with [the] spear, even into the earth, at once—and not repeat [it] to him.”
亚比筛对大卫说:“现在 神将你的仇敌交在你手里,求你容我拿枪将他刺透在地,一刺就成,不用再刺。”
9 And David says to Abishai, “Do not destroy him; for who has put forth his hand against the anointed of YHWH and been acquitted?”
大卫对亚比筛说:“不可害死他。有谁伸手害耶和华的受膏者而无罪呢?”
10 And David says, “YHWH lives; except YHWH strikes him, or his day comes that he has died, or he goes down into battle and has been consumed—
大卫又说:“我指着永生的耶和华起誓,他或被耶和华击打,或是死期到了,或是出战阵亡;
11 far be it from me, by YHWH, from putting forth my hand against the anointed of YHWH; and now, please take the spear which [is] by his pillow, and the jug of water, and we go away.”
我在耶和华面前,万不敢伸手害耶和华的受膏者。现在你可以将他头旁的枪和水瓶拿来,我们就走。”
12 And David takes the spear, and the jug of water by the pillow of Saul, and they go away, and there is none seeing, and there is none knowing, and there is none awaking, for all of them are sleeping, for a deep sleep [from] YHWH has fallen on them.
大卫从扫罗的头旁拿了枪和水瓶,二人就走了,没有人看见,没有人知道,也没有人醒起,都睡着了,因为耶和华使他们沉沉地睡了。
13 And David passes over to the other side, and stands on the top of the hill far off—great [is] the place between them;
大卫过到那边去,远远地站在山顶上,与他们相离甚远。
14 and David calls to the people, and to Abner son of Ner, saying, “Do you not answer, Abner?” And Abner answers and says, “Who [are] you [who] have called to the king?”
大卫呼叫百姓和尼珥的儿子押尼珥说:“押尼珥啊,你为何不答应呢?”押尼珥说:“你是谁?竟敢呼叫王呢?”
15 And David says to Abner, “Are you not a man? And who [is] like you in Israel? But why have you not watched over your lord the king? For one of the people had come in to destroy the king, your lord.
大卫对押尼珥说:“你不是个勇士吗?以色列中谁能比你呢?民中有人进来要害死王—你的主,你为何没有保护王—你的主呢?
16 This thing which you have done is not good; YHWH lives, but you [are] sons of death, in that you have not watched over your lord, over the anointed of YHWH; and now, see where the king’s spear [is], and the jug of water which [is] by his pillow.”
你这样是不好的!我指着永生的耶和华起誓,你们都是该死的;因为没有保护你们的主,就是耶和华的受膏者。现在你看看王头旁的枪和水瓶在哪里。”
17 And Saul discerns the voice of David and says, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And David says, “My voice, my lord, O king!”
扫罗听出是大卫的声音,就说:“我儿大卫,这是你的声音吗?”大卫说:“主—我的王啊,是我的声音”;
18 And he says, “Why [is] this—my lord is pursuing after his servant? For what have I done, and what evil [is] in my hand?
又说:“我做了什么?我手里有什么恶事?我主竟追赶仆人呢?
19 And now, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: if YHWH has moved you against me, let Him accept a present; but if [merely] the sons of men, they [are] cursed before YHWH, for today they have cast me out from being admitted into the inheritance of YHWH, saying, Go, serve other gods.
求我主我王听仆人的话:若是耶和华激发你攻击我,愿耶和华收纳祭物;若是人激发你,愿他在耶和华面前受咒诅;因为他现今赶逐我,不容我在耶和华的产业上有分,说:‘你去事奉别神吧!’
20 And now, do not let my blood fall to the earth before the face of YHWH, for the king of Israel has come out to seek one flea, as [one] pursues the partridge in mountains.”
现在求王不要使我的血流在离耶和华远的地方。以色列王出来是寻找一个虼蚤,如同人在山上猎取一个鹧鸪一般。”
21 And Saul says, “I have sinned; return, my son David, for I do evil to you no more, because that my soul has been precious in your eyes this day; behold, I have acted foolishly, and err very greatly.”
扫罗说:“我有罪了!我儿大卫,你可以回来,因你今日看我的性命为宝贵;我必不再加害于你。我是糊涂人,大大错了。”
22 And David answers and says, “Behold, the king’s spear; and let one of the young men pass over, and receive it;
大卫说:“王的枪在这里,可以吩咐一个仆人过来拿去。
23 and YHWH turns each back to his righteousness and his faithfulness, in that YHWH has given you into [my] hand today, and I have not been willing to put forth my hand against the anointed of YHWH,
今日耶和华将王交在我手里,我却不肯伸手害耶和华的受膏者。耶和华必照各人的公义诚实报应他。
24 and behold, as your soul has been great in my eyes this day, so is my soul great in the eyes of YHWH, and He delivers me out of all distress.”
我今日重看你的性命,愿耶和华也重看我的性命,并且拯救我脱离一切患难。”
25 And Saul says to David, “Blessed [are] you, my son David, also working you work, and also prevailing you prevail.” And David goes on his way, and Saul has turned back to his place.
扫罗对大卫说:“我儿大卫,愿你得福!你必做大事,也必得胜。”于是大卫起行,扫罗回他的本处去了。
