1 Samuel 22
1 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave of Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him.
達味離開，逃到了阿杜藍山洞；他的兄弟和父親全家聽說這事，都來到他那裡。
2 And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
凡受迫害、負債。心中憂苦的人，都投奔到他，他便成了他們的首領；此時隨從他的約有四百人。
3 And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, [and be] with you, till I know what God will do for me.
達味從那裏來到摩阿布的米茲帕，對摩阿布王說：「求你讓我父母來你這裏，直到我明白天主對我有什麼計劃為止」。
4 And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.
達味把他們留在王那裏：達味在山裏住了多久，他們也住了多久。
5 And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
加得先知對達味說：「你不要在這山塞裏，你要到猶大地方去! 」達味就去了，來到赫勒達樹林。
6 And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him: now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
一日，撒烏耳正坐在基貝亞高處的一棵檉柳下，手裏著槍，他的臣僕都侍立左右，聽說達味和跟隨他的人已聯合起來，
7 And Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds;
遂對侍立他左右的人說：「本雅明的子孫，你們聽：難道若瑟的兒子也要賜給你們每人莊田和葡萄園，或把你們者立為千夫長或百夫長，
8 that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that discloseth to me when my son maketh a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or discloseth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
好使你們都同謀來陷害我﹖我的兒子和葉的兒子結盟，誰也沒有告訴我；我的兒子煽動我的臣僕來反對我，仇視我，像今日一像，你們中沒有一個人憐恤 ，來通知我! 」
9 Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which stood by the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
作撒烏耳臣僕之長的厄東厄格就答說：「我看見葉瑟的兒子到過諾布，去阿希突布的兒子阿希默肋客。
10 And he inquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
他為達味求問了上主，給了他食物，也把尸人哥肋雅的刀給了他」。
11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
君王遂派人去叫阿希突布的兒子，大司祭阿希默肋客和父親全家，即諾布所有的司祭；他們來到君王面前，
12 And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.
撒烏耳說：「阿希突布是兒子，你聽! 」他答說：「是，我主! 」
13 And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
撒烏耳對他說：「你為什麼和葉瑟的兒子同謀陷害我，給他食物和刀劍，為他求問天主，使他起來反對我，仇視我，像今一樣﹖」
14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who among all thy servants is so faithful as David, which is the king’s son in law, and is taken into thy council, and is honourable in thine house?
阿希默肋客答覆君王說：「在你的臣僕中，有誰如達味那樣忠實可靠呢﹖他是大王的女婿，又是護衛長，在你朝庭中是最受重視的人。
15 Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy servant knoweth nothing of all this, less or more.
難道我是今天才開始為他求問天主嗎﹖決不是! 請大王不要加害自己的僕人和我父全家，因為你僕人一點也王知道這事。
16 And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father’s house.
王說：「阿希默肋客，你和你父親全家都得死!」
17 And the king said unto the guard that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.
王遂吩咐立在他左右的侍衛說：「你們過去，殺死上主的司祭! 因為他們與達味攜手，知道他逃跑，卻不來告訴我」。但是君王的臣僕不敢下手殺上主的司祭。
18 And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and he slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.
王遂對多厄格說：「你過去殺死司祭! 」厄東人多厄格就過去殺死了司祭。那一天他殺死了八十五位身穿細麻「厄弗得」的人。
19 And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen and asses and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
至於那座諾布司祭城，無論男女、幼童或乳兒，甚至連的牛、驢、羊都用利劍殺盡。
20 And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
阿希突布之子阿希默肋客的一個兒子，名叫厄貝雅塔爾的，脫險跑到了達味那裏。
21 And Abiathar told David that Saul had slain the LORD’S priests.
厄貝雅塔爾告訴達味，撒烏耳殺了上主的司祭。
22 And David said unto Abiathar, I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned [the death] of all the persons of thy father’s house.
達味對厄貝雅塔爾說：「那一天我已知道，因為厄東人多厄格在那裏，他必要向撒烏耳報告；你父全家的性命，我全負責。
23 Abide thou with me, fear not; for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: for with me thou shalt be in safeguard.
你住在我這裏，不要害怕；誰想謀害你，就是謀害我；你同我一起必得安全」。
