2 Samuel 1
1 And it comes to pass after the death of Saul, that David has returned from striking the Amalekite, and David dwells in Ziklag [for] two days,
撒烏耳死後，達味擊殺阿瑪肋克人回來，在漆刻拉格住了兩天。
2 and it comes to pass, on the third day, that behold, a man has come in out of the camp from Saul, and his garments [are] torn, and earth [is] on his head; and it comes to pass in his coming to David, that he falls to the earth and pays respect.
第三天，有個人從撒烏耳營中跑來，衣服撕爛，滿頭灰塵，來到達味前，伏地叩拜。
3 And David says to him, “Where do you come from?” And he says to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”
達味問他說：「你從那裏來﹖」他答說：「我從以色列營中逃命而來。」
4 And David says to him, “What has been the matter? Please declare [it] to me.” And he says, “That the people have fled from the battle, and also a multitude of the people have fallen, and they die; and also Saul and his son Jonathan have died.”
達味又問他說：「戰事怎樣﹖請告訴我! 」他答說：「軍民從戰場上逃跑了，許多人陣亡，撒烏耳和他的兒子約納堂也死了。」
5 And David says to the youth who is declaring [it] to him, “How have you known that Saul and his son Jonathan [are] dead?”
達味問那報信的少年人說：「你怎麼知道撒烏耳和他兒子約納堂死了呢﹖」
6 And the youth who is declaring [it] to him says, “I happened to meet in Mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul is leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and those possessing horses have followed him;
那報信的少年人答說：「我無意中來到基耳波亞山上，看見撒烏耳伏在自己的槍上，戰車和騎兵都快要迫近他。
7 and he turns behind him, and sees me, and calls to me, and I say, Here I [am].
他轉身見了我，就招呼我。我答說：我在這裏。
8 And he says to me, Who [are] you? And I say to him, I [am] an Amalekite.
他問我說：你是誰﹖我答說：我是阿瑪肋克人。
9 And he says to me, Please stand over me and put me to death, for the arrow has seized me, for all my soul [is] still in me.
他向我說：「來我身邊，殺了我罷! 我現在雖還完全活著，但十分暈眩。
10 And I stand over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he does not live after his falling, and I take the crown which [is] on his head, and the bracelet which [is] on his arm, and bring them to my lord here.”
我就來到他身邊，明知他倒下後，決不能生存，便殺了他；取下他頭上的王冠，腕上的手鐲，帶到這裏來奉獻給我主。」
11 And David takes hold on his garments, and tears them, and also all the men who [are] with him,
達味就抓住自己的衣服撕破了；同他在一起的人也照樣作了。
12 and they mourn, and weep, and fast until the evening, for Saul, and for his son Jonathan, and for the people of YHWH, and for the house of Israel, because they have fallen by the sword.
大家為撒烏耳和他的兒子約納堂，以及上主的百姓和以色列的家族，舉哀痛哭，禁食直到晚上，哀悼他們喪身刀下。
13 And David says to the youth who is declaring [it] to him, “Where [are] you from?” And he says, “I [am] the son of a sojourner, an Amalekite.”
達味又問那報信的少年說：「你是那裏的﹖」他答說：「我是阿瑪肋克僑民的兒子。」
14 And David says to him, “How were you not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the anointed of YHWH?”
達味向他說：「怎麼你不怕伸手殺害上主的受傅者﹖」
15 And David calls to one of the youths and says, “Draw near—fall on him”; and he strikes him, and he dies;
達味遂叫一個少年人來，向他說：「前來，殺了他! 」少年把他一刀砍死了。
16 and David says to him, “Your blood [is] on your own head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I put to death the anointed of YHWH.”
同時達味對他說：「你的血應歸在你頭上，因為你親口作供說：我殺死了上主的受傅者。」
17 And David laments with this lamentation over Saul, and over his son Jonathan;
事後，達味作了這首哀歌，追悼撒烏耳和他的兒子約納堂，
18 and he says to teach the sons of Judah “The Bow”; behold, it is written on the Scroll of the Upright:
命令猶大子弟學習這首哀歌，這歌載在「壯士書」上：「
19 “The beauty of Israel [Is] wounded on your high places; How the mighty have fallen!
以色列的榮華，倒在你的高岡上；葷英雄怎會陣亡﹖
20 Do not declare [it] in Gath, Do not proclaim the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon, Lest they rejoice—The daughters of the Philistines, Lest they exult—The daughters of the uncircumcised!
不要在加特報告，不要在阿市刻隆街市宣揚，免得培肋舍特的女子歡樂，免得未受割損者的女郎維雀躍!
21 Mountains of Gilboa! No dew nor rain be on you, And fields of raised-offerings! For there has become loathsome The shield of the mighty, The shield of Saul—without the anointed with oil.
基耳波亞山，不祥的山野! 在你那裏露不再降，雨不再下! 因為英雄的盾牌，受了褻瀆，撒烏耳的盾牌，那傅油者的武器。
22 From the blood of the wounded, From the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan Has not turned backward; And the sword of Saul does not return empty.
對傷者的血，英雄的脂油，約納堂的弓總不後轉，撒烏耳的劍決不空還。
23 Saul and Jonathan! They are loved and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they have not been parted. They have been lighter than eagles, They have been mightier than lions!
撒烏耳與約納堂，相親相愛，生相聚，死不離，神速過鷹，勇猛勝獅。
24 Daughters of Israel! Weep for Saul, Who is clothing you [in] scarlet with delights. Who is lifting up ornaments of gold on your clothing.
以色列女郎! 應痛悼撒烏耳，他給你們披上了愉快的紫衣，在你們衣服上點綴了金飾。
25 How the mighty have fallen In the midst of the battle! Jonathan [was] wounded on your high places!
英雄怎會在戰鬥中陣亡! 哎，約納堂! 對你的死，我極度哀痛!
26 I am in distress for you, my brother Jonathan, You were very pleasant to me; Your love was wonderful to me, Above the love of women!
我的兄弟約納堂，我為你萬分悲傷! 你愛我之情，何等甜蜜! 你對我的愛，勝於婦女之愛。
27 How the mighty have fallen, Indeed, the weapons of war perish!”
英雄怎會陣亡! 戰爭的武器怎會喪亡! 」
