2 Samuel 5
1 Then came all the tribes of Israel unto David, in Hebron, —and spake, saying—Behold us! thy bone and thy flesh, we are.
以色列众支派来到希伯 见大卫，说：“我们原是你的骨肉。
2 Also, in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou, wast he that led out and brought in, Israel, —and Yahweh said to thee—Thou, shalt be shepherd unto my people, Israel, and, thou, shalt become leader over Israel.
从前扫罗作我们王的时候，率领以色列人出入的是你；耶和华也曾应许你说：‘你必牧养我的民以色列，作以色列的君。’”
3 So all the elders of Israel came unto the king, in Hebron, and King David solemnised to them a covenant in Hebron, before Yahweh, —and they anointed David to be king over Israel.
于是以色列的长老都来到希伯 见大卫王，大卫在希伯 耶和华面前与他们立约，他们就膏大卫作以色列的王。
4 Thirty years old, was David when he began to reign, —forty years, he reigned:
大卫登基的时候年三十岁，在位四十年；
5 in Hebron, reigned he over Judah, seven years, and six months, —and, in Jerusalem, reigned he thirty and three years, over all Israel and Judah.
在希伯 作犹大王七年零六个月，在耶路撒冷作以色列和犹大王三十三年。
6 Then went the king and his men, to Jerusalem, against the Jebusites, inhabiting the land, —and they spake to David, saying—Thou canst not come in hither, unless thou take away the blind and lame—Thinking, David will not come in hither.
大卫和跟随他的人到了耶路撒冷，要攻打住那地方的耶布斯人。耶布斯人对大卫说：“你若不赶出瞎子、瘸子，必不能进这地方”；心里想大卫决不能进去。
7 So then David captured the citadel of Zion, —the same, is the city of David.
然而大卫攻取锡安的保障，就是大卫的城。
8 And David said, on that day—Whosoever is smiting the Jebusites, then let him reach as far as the aqueduct. But, as for the lame and the blind, they were the hated of David’s soul, —for which cause, they kept on saying, Blind and lame! he will not enter the place.
当日，大卫说：“谁攻打耶布斯人，当上水沟攻打我心里所恨恶的瘸子、瞎子。”从此有俗语说：“在那里有瞎子、瘸子，他不能进屋去。”
9 So then David dwelt in the citadel, and called it, The City of David, —and David built round about, from Millo and inwards.
大卫住在保障里，给保障起名叫大卫城。大卫又从米罗以里，周围筑墙。
10 And David went on and on waxing great, —Yahweh, God of hosts, being with him.
大卫日见强盛，因为耶和华—万军之 神与他同在。
11 Then Hiram, king of Tyre, sent messengers unto David, with cedar-wood, and carpenters, and masons, and they built a house for David.
泰尔王希兰将香柏木运到大卫那里，又差遣使者和木匠、石匠给大卫建造宫殿。
12 So David perceived that Yahweh had established him to be king over Israel, —and that he had exalted his kingdom, for the sake of his people Israel.
大卫就知道耶和华坚立他作以色列王，又为自己的民以色列使他的国兴旺。
13 And David took him yet more concubines and wives, out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron, and there were, yet further, born unto David, sons and daughters.
大卫离开希伯 之后，在耶路撒冷又立后妃，又生儿女。
14 Now, these, are the names of the sons who were born unto him in Jerusalem, —Shammua and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon;
在耶路撒冷所生的儿子是沙母亚、朔罢、拿单、所罗门、
15 and Ibhar and Elishua and Nepheg and Yaphia;
益辖、以利书亚、尼斐、雅非亚、
16 and Elishama and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
以利沙玛、以利雅大、以利法列。
17 And, when the Philistine heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel, then came up all the Philistines to seek to secure David, and David heard of it, and went down into the citadel.
非利士人听见人膏大卫作以色列王，非利士众人就上来寻索大卫；大卫听见，就下到保障。
18 Now, the Philistines, had come, —and had spread themselves out in the vale of Rephaim.
非利士人来了，布散在利乏音谷。
19 So then David enquired of Yahweh, saying, —Shall I go up against the Philistines? Wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Yahweh said unto David—Go up; for I, will surely deliver, the Philistines into thy hand.
大卫求问耶和华说：“我可以上去攻打非利士人吗？你将他们交在我手里吗？”耶和华说：“你可以上去，我必将非利士人交在你手里。”
20 And David entered Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and said—Yahweh hath broken forth upon mine enemies, before me, like a breaking forth of waters. For this cause, called he the name of that place, Baal-perazim.
大卫来到巴力·毗拉心，在那里击杀非利士人，说：“耶和华在我面前冲破敌人，如同水冲去一般。”因此称那地方为巴力·毗拉心。
21 And they left their images there, —and David and his men took them away.
非利士人将偶像撇在那里，大卫和跟随他的人拿去了。
22 And, yet again, did the Philistines come up, —and they spread themselves out in the vale of Rephaim.
非利士人又上来，布散在利乏音谷。
23 So David enquired of Yahweh, and he said—Thou shalt not go up, —Get round behind them, and come in upon them, over against the mulberry-trees.
大卫求问耶和华；耶和华说：“不要一直地上去，要转到他们后头，从桑林对面攻打他们。
24 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, then, shalt thou act with decision, —for, then, will Yahweh have gone forth before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.
你听见桑树梢上有脚步的声音，就要急速前去，因为那时耶和华已经在你前头去攻打非利士人的军队。”
25 And David did so, as Yahweh had commanded him, —and smote the Philistines, from Gibeon until thou enterest Gezer.
大卫就遵着耶和华所吩咐的去行，攻打非利士人，从迦巴直到基色。
