1 Samuel 13
1 [was] a son of (Thirty *X*) year[s] Saul when became king he (and forty *X*) and two years he reigned over Israel.
掃羅登基年四十歲；作以色列王二年的時候，
2 And he chose for himself Saul three thousand from Israel and they were with Saul two thousand at Micmash and in [the] hill country of Beth-el and one thousand they were with Jonathan at Gibeah of Benjamin and [the] rest of the people he sent away each man to tents his.
就從以色列中揀選了三千人：二千跟隨掃羅在密抹和伯特利山，一千跟隨約拿單在便雅憫的基比亞；其餘的人掃羅都打發各回各家去了。
3 And he attacked Jonathan [the] garrison of [the] Philistines which [was] at Geba and they heard [the] Philistines and Saul he gave a blast on the trumpet in all the land saying let them hear the Hebrews.
約拿單攻擊在迦巴的非利士人的防營，非利士人聽見了。掃羅就在遍地吹角，意思說，要使希伯來人聽見。
4 And all Israel they heard saying he has attacked Saul [the] garrison of [the] Philistines and also it has made itself odious Israel with the Philistines and they were summoned the people after Saul Gilgal.
以色列眾人聽見掃羅攻擊非利士人的防營，又聽見以色列人為非利士人所憎惡，就跟隨掃羅聚集在吉甲。
5 And [the] Philistines they gathered - to fight with Israel thirty thousand chariot[s] and six thousand horsemen and a people like the sand which [is] on [the] shore of the sea for multitude and they came up and they encamped at Micmash [the] east of Beth Aven.
非利士人聚集，要與以色列人爭戰，有車三萬輛，馬兵六千，步兵像海邊的沙那樣多，就上來在伯‧亞文東邊的密抹安營。
6 And everyone of Israel they saw that it was distress to it for it was hard pressed the people and they hid themselves the people in caves and in thickets and in cliffs and in underground chambers and in cisterns.
以色列百姓見自己危急窘迫，就藏在山洞、叢林、石穴、隱密處，和坑中。
7 And Hebrews they passed over the Jordan [the] land of Gad and Gilead and Saul still he [was] at Gilgal and all the people they trembled after him.
有些希伯來人過了約旦河，逃到迦得和基列地。掃羅還是在吉甲，百姓都戰戰兢兢地跟隨他。
8 (And he waited *Q(K)*) seven days to the appointed time which Samuel and not he had come Samuel Gilgal and it scattered the people from with him.
掃羅照着撒母耳所定的日期等了七日。撒母耳還沒有來到吉甲，百姓也離開掃羅散去了。
9 And he said Saul bring near to me the burnt offering and the peace offerings and he offered up the burnt offering.
掃羅說：「把燔祭和平安祭帶到我這裏來。」掃羅就獻上燔祭。
10 And it was when finished he to offer up the burnt offering and there! Samuel [was] coming and he went out Saul to meet him to bless him.
剛獻完燔祭，撒母耳就到了。掃羅出去迎接他，要問他好。
11 And he said Samuel what? have you done and he said Saul if I saw that it was scattered the people from with me and you not you had come to [the] appointed time of the days and [the] Philistines [were] gathering Micmash.
撒母耳說：「你做的是甚麼事呢？」掃羅說：「因為我見百姓離開我散去，你也不照所定的日期來到，而且非利士人聚集在密抹。
12 And I said now they will come down [the] Philistines against me Gilgal and [the] face of Yahweh not I have entreated and I forced myself and I offered up the burnt offering.
所以我心裏說：恐怕我沒有禱告耶和華。非利士人下到吉甲攻擊我，我就勉強獻上燔祭。」
13 And he said Samuel to Saul you have acted foolishly not you have kept [the] commandment of Yahweh God your which he commanded you for now he established Yahweh kingdom your to Israel until perpetuity.
撒母耳對掃羅說：「你做了糊塗事了，沒有遵守耶和華－你上帝所吩咐你的命令。若遵守，耶和華必在以色列中堅立你的王位，直到永遠。
14 And now kingdom your not it will endure he has sought Yahweh for himself a man according to own heart his and he has appointed him Yahweh to ruler over people his for not you have kept [that] which he commanded you Yahweh.
現在你的王位必不長久。耶和華已經尋着一個合他心意的人，立他作百姓的君，因為你沒有遵守耶和華所吩咐你的。」
15 And he arose Samuel and he went up from Gilgal (and he went on way his and the rest of the people it went up after Saul to meet [the] people [of] the battle and they went from Gilgal *X*) Gibeah of Benjamin and he mustered Saul the people who were found with him about six hundred man.
撒母耳就起來，從吉甲上到便雅憫的基比亞。 掃羅數點跟隨他的，約有六百人。
16 And Saul and Jonathan son his and the people which was found with them [were] remaining in Geba of Benjamin and [the] Philistines they encamped in Micmash.
掃羅和他兒子約拿單，並跟隨他們的人，都住在便雅憫的迦巴；但非利士人安營在密抹。
17 And it came out the destroyer from [the] camp of [the] Philistines three companies the company one it turned to [the] direction of Ophrah to [the] land of Shual.
有掠兵從非利士營中出來，分為三隊：一隊往俄弗拉向書亞地去，
18 And the company one it turned [the] direction of Beth Horon and the company one it turned [the] direction the border which looks down over [the] valley of Zeboim the wilderness towards.
一隊往伯‧和崙去，一隊往洗波音谷對面的地境向曠野去。
19 And a craftsman not he was found in all [the] land of Israel for (they said *Q(K)*) [the] Philistines lest they should make the Hebrews a sword or a spear.
那時，以色列全地沒有一個鐵匠；因為非利士人說，恐怕希伯來人製造刀槍。
20 And they went down all Israel the Philistines to sharpen each man plowshare his and mattock his and axe his and plowshare his.
以色列人要磨鋤、犂、斧、鏟，就下到非利士人那裏去磨。
21 And it was the charge two thirds of a shekel for the plowshares and for the mattocks and for three fork and for the axes and to make straight the goad[s].
但有銼可以銼鏟、犂、三齒叉、斧子，並趕牛錐。
22 And it was on a day of battle and not it was found a sword and a spear in [the] hand of any of the people which [was] with Saul and with Jonathan and it was found to Saul and to Jonathan son his.
所以到了爭戰的日子，跟隨掃羅和約拿單的人沒有一個手裏有刀有槍的，惟獨掃羅和他兒子約拿單有。
23 And it came out [the] garrison of [the] Philistines to [the] pass of Micmash.
非利士人的一隊防兵到了密抹的隘口。
