2 Samuel 15
1 And after this Absalom began to furnish himself with a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
此后，押沙龙为自己预备车马，又派五十人在他前头奔走。
2 And Absalom used to get up early and stand beside the road. Then when anyone had a dispute which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom would call out to him and say, "What city are you from?" When he said, "Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel,"
押沙龙常常早晨起来，站在城门的道旁，凡有争讼要去求王判断的，押沙龙就叫他过来，问他说：“你是哪一城的人？”回答说：“仆人是以色列某支派的人。”
3 then Absalom would say to him, "Look, your matters are good and right; but there is no one from the king to hear you."
押沙龙对他说：“你的事有情有理，无奈王没有委人听你伸诉。”
4 And Absalom would say, "Oh that I were made judge in the land, then anyone who had a dispute could come to me, and I would give him justice."
押沙龙又说：“恨不得我作国中的士师！凡有争讼求审判的到我这里来，我必秉公判断。”
5 It was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he would extend his hand and embrace him, and kiss him.
若有人近前来要拜押沙龙，押沙龙就伸手拉住他，与他亲嘴。
6 Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
以色列人中，凡去见王求判断的，押沙龙都是如此待他们。这样，押沙龙暗中得了以色列人的心。
7 It happened at the end of four years, that Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.
满了四十年，押沙龙对王说：“求你准我往希伯 去，还我向耶和华所许的愿。
8 For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Aram, saying, 'If the LORD will bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD in Hebron.'"
因为仆人住在亚兰的基述，曾许愿说：‘耶和华若使我再回耶路撒冷，我必事奉他。’”
9 The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he arose, and went to Hebron.
王说：“你平平安安地去吧！”押沙龙就起身，往希伯 去了。
10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, 'Absalom is king in Hebron.'"
押沙龙打发探子走遍以色列各支派，说：“你们一听见角声就说：‘押沙龙在希伯 作王了！’”
11 Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they did not know anything.
押沙龙在耶路撒冷请了二百人与他同去，都是诚诚实实去的，并不知道其中的真情。
12 And he sent and invited Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city Giloh, where he was offering sacrifice. The conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.
押沙龙献祭的时候，打发人去将大卫的谋士、基罗人亚希多弗从他本城请了来。于是叛逆的势派甚大；因为随从押沙龙的人民，日渐增多。
13 A messenger came to David, saying, "The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom."
有人报告大卫说：“以色列人的心都归向押沙龙了！”
14 So David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee, otherwise none of us shall escape from Absalom. Go immediately, or else he will quickly overtake us and bring down the city on top of us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword."
大卫就对耶路撒冷跟随他的臣仆说：“我们要起来逃走，不然都不能躲避押沙龙了；要速速地去，恐怕他忽然来到，加害于我们，用刀杀尽合城的人。”
15 Then the king's servants said to him, "Look, your servants are ready to do whatever the king chooses."
王的臣仆对王说：“我主我王所定的，仆人都愿遵行。”
16 And the king went out with all his household following him. But the king left ten women, who were secondary wives, to take care of the palace.
于是王带着全家的人出去了，但留下十个妃嫔看守宫殿。
17 So the king went out with all his servants following him, and they stopped at the last house.
王出去，众民都跟随他，到伯·墨哈，就住下了。
18 And all the people passed on before him. And all those with him, all the officers and warriors, were six hundred men, and they passed on before him. And when all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the Gittites who followed him from Gath passed on before the king.
王的臣仆都在他面前过去。基利提人、比利提人，就是从迦特跟随王来的六百人，也都在他面前过去。
19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, "Why do you also go with us? Go back and stay with the king, for you are a foreigner and you also are an exile from your place.
王对迦特人以太说：“你是外邦逃来的人，为什么与我们同去呢？你可以回去与新王同住，或者回你本地去吧！
20 You came only yesterday. Should I today make you wander about with us, since I go I know not where? Go back, and take your brothers with you, and may the LORD show you kindness and truth."
你来的日子不多，我今日怎好叫你与我们一同飘流、没有一定的住处呢？你不如带你的弟兄回去吧！愿耶和华用慈爱诚实待你。”
21 Ittai answered the king, and said, "As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord shall be, whether for death or for life, even there also will your servant be."
以太对王说：“我指着永生的耶和华起誓，又敢在王面前起誓：无论生死，王在哪里，仆人也必在那里。”
22 So David said to Ittai, "Go and pass over." Then Ittai passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.
大卫对以太说：“你前去过河吧！”于是迦特人以太带着跟随他的人和所有的妇人孩子，就都过去了。
23 And all the land wept aloud as all the people crossed over. And the king crossed the Wadi Kidron, and all the people passed before him on the Olive road into the wilderness.
本地的人都放声大哭。众民尽都过去，王也过了汲沦溪；众民往旷野去了。
24 And look, Zadok also came (and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of the LORD) and Abiathar. And they set down the ark of God until all the people finished passing by from the city.
撒督和抬 神约柜的利未人也一同来了，将 神的约柜放下。亚比亚他上来，等着众民从城里出来过去。
25 The king said to Zadok, "Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me back and show me both it and his dwelling place;
王对撒督说：“你将 神的约柜抬回城去。我若在耶和华眼前蒙恩，他必使我回来，再见约柜和他的居所。
26 but if he should say, 'I have no delight in you;' look, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him."
倘若他说：‘我不喜悦你’，看哪，我在这里，愿他凭自己的意旨待我！”
27 And the king said also to Zadok the priest, "Look, you return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
王又对祭司撒督说：“你不是先见吗？你可以安然回城；你儿子亚希玛斯和亚比亚他的儿子约拿单都可以与你同去。
28 Look, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me."
我在旷野的渡口那里等你们报信给我。”
29 So Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark to Jerusalem and returned it there.
于是撒督和亚比亚他将 神的约柜抬回耶路撒冷，他们就住在那里。
30 And David went up by the Ascent of the Olives, and wept as he went, and he had his head covered and went barefoot. And all the people who were with him covered their heads, and they went up weeping as they went.
大卫蒙头赤脚上橄榄山，一面上一面哭。跟随他的人也都蒙头哭着上去；
31 And it had been told to David, saying, "Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." David said, "LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness."
有人告诉大卫说：“亚希多弗也在叛党之中，随从押沙龙。”大卫祷告说：“耶和华啊，求你使亚希多弗的计谋变为愚拙！”
32 It happened that when David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, look, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and earth on his head.
大卫到了山顶、敬拜 神的地方，见亚基人户筛，衣服撕裂，头蒙灰尘来迎接他。
33 David said to him, "If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
大卫对他说：“你若与我同去，必累赘我；
34 but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, 'Your brothers have left, O king, after your father left, and now I am your servant, O king. Allow me to live. As I have been your father's servant in the past, so now I am your servant,' then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.
你若回城去，对押沙龙说：‘王啊，我愿作你的仆人；我向来作你父亲的仆人，现在我也照样作你的仆人。’这样，你就可以为我破坏亚希多弗的计谋。
35 And look, Zadok and Abiathar the priests will be there with you. So whatever you hear from the king's house you must tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
祭司撒督和亚比亚他岂不都在那里吗？你在王宫里听见什么，就要告诉祭司撒督和亚比亚他。
36 Look, their two sons are with them there, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son. And by them you must send to me everything that you hear."
撒督的儿子亚希玛斯，亚比亚他的儿子约拿单，也都在那里。凡你们所听见的可以托这二人来报告我。”
37 So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
于是，大卫的朋友户筛进了城；押沙龙也进了耶路撒冷。
