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,
掃羅死後，大衛擊殺亞瑪力人回來，在洗革拉住了兩天。
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，有一人從掃羅的營裏出來，衣服撕裂，頭蒙灰塵，到大衛面前伏地叩拜。
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.”
大衛問他說：「你從哪裏來？」他說：「我從以色列的營裏逃來。」
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.”
大衛又問他說：「事情怎樣？請你告訴我。」他回答說：「百姓從陣上逃跑，也有許多人仆倒死亡；掃羅和他兒子約拿單也死了。」
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?”
大衛問報信的少年人說：「你怎麼知道掃羅和他兒子約拿單死了呢？」
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;
報信的少年人說：「我偶然到基利波山，看見掃羅伏在自己槍上，有戰車、馬兵緊緊地追他。
7 and he turns behind him, and sees me, and calls to me, and I say, Here I [am].
他回頭看見我，就呼叫我。我說：『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：『你是甚麼人？』我說：『我是亞瑪力人。』
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.
他說：『請你來，將我殺死；因為痛苦抓住我，我的生命尚存。』
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.”
我準知他仆倒必不能活，就去將他殺死，把他頭上的冠冕、臂上的鐲子拿到我主這裏。」
11 And David takes hold on his garments, and tears them, and also all the men who [are] with him,
大衛就撕裂衣服，跟隨他的人也是如此，
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.
而且悲哀哭號，禁食到晚上，是因掃羅和他兒子約拿單，並耶和華的民以色列家的人，倒在刀下。
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.”
大衛問報信的少年人說：「你是哪裏的人？」他說：「我是亞瑪力客人的兒子。」
14 And David says to him, “How were you not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the anointed of YHWH?”
大衛說：「你伸手殺害耶和華的受膏者，怎麼不畏懼呢？」
15 And David calls to one of the youths and says, “Draw near—fall on him”; and he strikes him, and he dies;
大衛叫了一個少年人來，說：「你去殺他吧！」
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.”
大衛對他說：「你流人血的罪歸到自己的頭上，因為你親口作見證說：『我殺了耶和華的受膏者。』」少年人就把他殺了。
17 And David laments with this lamentation over Saul, and over his son Jonathan;
大衛作哀歌，弔掃羅和他兒子約拿單，
18 and he says to teach the sons of Judah “The Bow”; behold, it is written on the Scroll of the Upright:
且吩咐將這歌教導猶大人。這歌名叫「弓歌」，寫在雅煞珥書上。
19 “The beauty of Israel [Is] wounded on your high places; How the mighty have fallen!
歌中說：以色列啊， 你尊榮者在山上被殺！ 大英雄何竟死亡！
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!
不要在迦特報告； 不要在亞實基倫街上傳揚； 免得非利士的女子歡樂； 免得未受割禮之人的女子矜誇。
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.
基利波山哪，願你那裏沒有雨露！ 願你田地無土產可作供物！ 因為英雄的盾牌在那裏被污丟棄； 掃羅的盾牌彷彿未曾抹油。
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.
約拿單的弓箭非流敵人的血不退縮； 掃羅的刀劍非剖勇士的油不收回。
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!
掃羅和約拿單－ 活時相悅相愛，死時也不分離 －他們比鷹更快，比獅子還強。
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.
以色列的女子啊，當為掃羅哭號！ 他曾使你們穿朱紅色的美衣， 使你們衣服有黃金的妝飾。
25 How the mighty have fallen In the midst of the battle! Jonathan [was] wounded on your high places!
英雄何竟在陣上仆倒！ 約拿單何竟在山上被殺！
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!
我兄約拿單哪，我為你悲傷！ 我甚喜悅你！ 你向我發的愛情奇妙非常， 過於婦女的愛情。
27 How the mighty have fallen, Indeed, the weapons of war perish!”
英雄何竟仆倒！ 戰具何竟滅沒！
