1 Samuel 30
1 And it came to pass, when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that, the Amalekites, had made a raid into the South, and into Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
第三日，大卫和跟随他的人到了洗革拉。亚玛力人已经侵夺南地，攻破洗革拉，用火焚烧，
2 and had taken captive the women and all who were therein, from small even unto great, they had not put one to death, —but had driven them forth, and gone their way.
掳了城内的妇女和其中的大小人口，却没有杀一个，都带着走了。
3 So, when David and his men came to the city, lo! it was burnt with fire, —and, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, had been taken captive.
大卫和跟随他的人到了那城，不料，城已烧毁，他们的妻子儿女都被掳去了。
4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice, and wept, —until they had no more strength to weep.
大卫和跟随他的人就放声大哭，直哭得没有气力。
5 And, the two wives of David, had been taken captive, —Ahinoam, the Jezreelitess, and Abigail, wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
大卫的两个妻—耶斯列人亚希暖和作过拿八妻的迦密人亚比该，也被掳去了。
6 And David was in sore distress, for the people had spoken of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were embittered, every man for his own sons and for his own daughters, —but David emboldened himself in Yahweh his God.
大卫甚是焦急，因众人为自己的儿女苦恼，说：“要用石头打死他。”大卫却倚靠耶和华—他的 神，心里坚固。
7 Then said David to Abiathar the priest, son of Ahimelech, Do bring near me, I pray thee, the ephod. So Abiathar brought near the ephod, unto David.
大卫对亚希米勒的儿子祭司亚比亚他说：“请你将以弗得拿过来。”亚比亚他就将以弗得拿到大卫面前。
8 And David enquired of Yahweh, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? shall I overtake it? And he said unto him: Pursue, for thou shalt, overtake, and thou shalt, rescue.
大卫求问耶和华说：“我追赶敌军，追得上追不上呢？”耶和华说：“你可以追，必追得上，都救得回来。”
9 So David went, he, and the six hundred men, who were with him, and they came in as far as the ravine of Besor, —where, they who had to be left behind, stayed.
于是，大卫和跟随他的六百人来到比梭溪；有不能前去的就留在那里。
10 But David pursued, he. and four hundred men, —but the two hundred men stayed, because they were too wearied to cross over the ravine of Besor.
大卫却带着四百人往前追赶，有二百人疲乏，不能过比梭溪，所以留在那里。
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and took him unto David, —and gave him food, and he did eat, and they gave him water to drink;
这四百人在田野遇见一个埃及人，就带他到大卫面前，给他饼吃，给他水喝，
12 and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two cakes of raisins, and, when he had eaten, his spirit came back unto him, —for he had neither eaten food, nor drunk water, three days and three nights.
又给他一块无花果饼，两个葡萄饼。他吃了，就精神复原；因为他三日三夜没有吃饼，没有喝水。
13 Then David said to him—Whose art thou? and whence art thou? And he said, A young man of Egypt, am I, servant to an Amalekite, and my lord left me behind, because I fell sick, three days ago.
大卫问他说：“你是属谁的？你是哪里的人？”他回答说：“我是埃及的少年人，是亚玛力人的奴仆；因我三日前患病，我主人就把我撇弃了。
14 As for us, we invaded the South of the Cherithites, and against that which pertaineth unto Judah, and against the South of Caleb, —and, Ziklag, burned we with fire.
我们侵夺了基利提的南方和属犹大的地，并迦勒地的南方，又用火烧了洗革拉。”
15 And David said unto him, Wilt thou bring me down unto this troop? And he said—Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt not put me to death, neither wilt thou surrender me into the hand of my lord, and I will bring thee down unto this troop.
大卫问他说：“你肯领我们到敌军那里不肯？”他回答说：“你要向我指着 神起誓，不杀我，也不将我交在我主人手里，我就领你下到敌军那里。”
16 So he brought him down, and lo! they were left to themselves over the face of all the land, —eating, and drinking, and dancing around, for all the great spoil which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
那人领大卫下去，见他们散在地上，吃喝跳舞，因为从非利士地和犹大地所掳来的财物甚多。
17 And David smote them, from the closing twilight even unto the evening of the next day, —and there escaped not of them a man, save four hundred young men who rode upon camels, and fled.
大卫从黎明直到次日晚上，击杀他们，除了四百骑骆驼的少年人之外，没有一个逃脱的。
18 And David rescued all whom the Amalekites had taken, —his two wives also, did David rescue;
亚玛力人所掳去的财物，大卫全都夺回，并救回他的两个妻来。
19 and there was nothing missing to them—whether small or great, whether spoil, or sons or daughters, or, any thing which they had taken unto themselves, —the whole, did David recover.
凡亚玛力人所掳去的，无论大小、儿女、财物，大卫都夺回来，没有失落一个。
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, —they drave them before those other cattle, and they said, This, is David’s spoil.
大卫所夺来的牛群羊群，跟随他的人赶在原有的群畜前边，说：“这是大卫的掠物。”
21 And David came unto the two hundred men, who had been too wearied to follow David, and whom they had suffered to remain at the ravine of Besor, —and they came forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him, and when David came near unto the people, they enquired of his success.
大卫到了那疲乏不能跟随、留在比梭溪的二百人那里。他们出来迎接大卫并跟随的人。大卫前来问他们安。
22 Then responded every man who was bad and abandoned, from among the men who had been with David, and said—Because they went not with me there shall not be given them of the spoil that we have rescued, —save, to every man, his wife and his children, let them put them forth, then, and go.
跟随大卫人中的恶人和匪类说：“这些人既然没有和我们同去，我们所夺的财物就不分给他们，只将他们各人的妻子儿女给他们，使他们带去就是了。”
23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, —with that which Yahweh hath given to us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
大卫说：“弟兄们，耶和华所赐给我们的，不可不分给他们；因为他保佑我们，将那攻击我们的敌军交在我们手里。
24 Who indeed, could hearken unto you, in this mutter? Surely, like the share of him that went down into the battle, even, so, shall be the share of him that remained by the stores—alike, shall they share.
这事谁肯依从你们呢？上阵的得多少，看守器具的也得多少；应当大家平分。”
25 And so it came to pass, from that day forward, that he appointed it, for a statute and for a custom unto Israel, until this day.
大卫定此为以色列的律例典章，从那日直到今日。
26 And, when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil, unto the elders of Judah, unto his friends, saying, —Lo! for you, a blessing, out of the spoil of the enemies of Yahweh:
大卫到了洗革拉，从掠物中取些送给他朋友犹大的长老，说：“这是从耶和华仇敌那里夺来的，送你们为礼物。”
27 to them who were in Bethel, and to them who were in Ramoth of the South, and to them who were in Jattir,
他送礼物给住伯特利的，南地拉末的，雅提珥的；
28 and to them who were in Aroer, and to them who were in Siphmoth, and to them who were in Eshtemoa,
住亚罗珥的，息末的，以实提莫的；
29 and to them who were in Racal, and to them who were in the cities of the Jerameelites, and to them who were in the cities of the Kenites,
住拉哈勒的，耶拉篾各城的，基尼各城的；
30 and to them who were in Hormah, and to them who were in Cor-ashan, and to them who were in Athach,
住何珥玛的，歌拉珊的，亚挞的；
31 and to them who were in Hebron, —and to all the places where David had been to and fro, he and his men.
住希伯 的，并大卫和跟随他的人素来所到之处的人。
