1 Samuel 20
1 And he fled David (from Naioth *Q(k)*) in Ramah and he went and he said - before Jonathan what? have I done what? [is] iniquity my and what? [is] sin my before father your that [is] seeking life my.
達味由辣瑪納逃走，去見約納堂說：「我作了什麼，有什麼過錯，哪裏得了你父親，他竟要害我的性命﹖」
2 And he said to him far be it not you will die here! (not he does *Q(K)*) father my anything great or anything small and not he uncovers ear my and why? will he hide father my from me the thing this there not [is] this.
約納堂回答他說：「決沒有這回事，你決死不了。看，我父親無論作什麼大事小事，沒有不告訴我的；為什麼我父親偏要對我隱瞞這事呢﹖決不會的! 」
3 And he swore an oath again David and he said certainly he knows father your that I have found favor in view your and he has said may not he know this Jonathan lest he should be grieved and but [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your for about a step between me and between death.
達味卻對他說：「你父親明知我在你眼裏得寵，所以他想：不要要約納堂知道這事，免得他悲傷。總之，我指著永生的上主敢在你面前發誓：我與死之間只差一步! 」
4 And he said Jonathan to David whatever it will say self your so I may do for you.
約納堂對達味說：「你願意我為你作什麼﹖」
5 And he said David to Jonathan here! a new moon [will be] tomorrow and I certainly I will sit with the king to eat and you will let go me and I will hide myself in the field until the evening third.
達味回答約納堂說：「看，明天是月朔，我原該和君王同席吃飯，但你讓我走，藏在田野間，直到第三丌晚上。
6 Certainly [if] he will miss me father your and you will say certainly he asked for himself from me David to run Beth-lehem city his for [the] sacrifice of the days [is] there for all the clan.
如果你父親發覺我不在，你應說：達味懇求我，讓他逃回白冷本城，因為在那裏全族舉行年祭。
7 If thus he will say good safety [belongs] to servant your and if certainly it will burn to him know that it has been determined harm from with him.
他若說：好! 你的僕人就平安無事；他若勃然大怒，你就該知道：他已決意行惡。
8 And you will do covenant loyalty towards servant your for in [the] covenant of Yahweh you have brought servant your with you and if there in me [is] iniquity put to death me you and to father your why? this will you bring me.
望你仁慈對待你僕人! 因你使你因上主的名與你訂了盟約；假若我有罪惡，你可殺我，為何偏要將我交給你父親呢﹖」
9 And he said Jonathan far be it to you that - if ever I will know that it has been determined harm from with father my to come on you and not it will I tell to you.
約納堂答說：「千萬別這樣想! 如果我確實知道，我父親決意要加害你，豈有不告訴你的嗎﹖」
10 And he said David to Jonathan who? will he tell to me or what? will he answer you father your hard.
達味就問約納堂說：「若你父親嚴厲答覆你，誰來通知我﹖」
11 And he said Jonathan to David come! so we may go out the field and they went out [the] two of them the field.
約納堂對達味說：「來，我們往田間去」。二人就往田間去了。
12 And he said Jonathan to David Yahweh [the] God of Israel that I will sound out father my about this time - tomorrow the third and there! good [is] to David and not? then will I send to you and I will uncover ear your.
約納堂對達味說：「上主，以色列的天主作證：明天或天這時候，我探得了我父親的意思，對達味有或否，我必派人來告訴你。
13 Thus may he do Yahweh to Jonathan and thus may he add if it will make good to father my harm on you and I will uncover ear your and I will send away you and you will go to peace and may he be Yahweh with you just as he has been with father my.
倘若我父親願意加害你，我若不通知你，不放你走，使你平安離去，願上主這樣這樣加倍罰我約納堂! 願上主與你同在，有如曾與我父親同在一樣!
14 And not if still I [am] alive and not you will do with me [the] covenant loyalty of Yahweh and not I will die.
若我那時尚在人世，願你對我表示上主的仁慈；設若我死了，
15 And not you must cut off covenant loyalty your from with house my until perpetuity and not when cuts off Yahweh [the] enemies of David everyone from on [the] surface of the earth.
願你不要由我家永遠撤消你的仁慈! 連當上主由地面上一一剷除達味的敵人時；
16 And he made Jonathan with [the] house of David and he will require Yahweh from [the] hand of [the] enemies of David.
若約納堂的名字被達味家族消滅了，願上主藉達味的仇人的手追究此案! 」
17 And he repeated Jonathan to make swear an oath David in love his him for [the] love of own self his he loved him.
約納堂由於愛達味，再向他起了誓，因為他愛達味如愛自己的性命。
18 And he said to him Jonathan [will be] tomorrow a new moon and you will be missed if it will be empty seat your.
約納堂又對他說：「明日是月朔，因為占座位空著，人必注意你不在，
19 And you will do three times you will come down exceedingly and you will come to the place where you hid yourself there on [the] day of the deed and you will stay beside the stone Ezel.
到第三天，人必更注意你不在；那麼，你要到你曾出事那日藏身的地方去，坐在那石堆旁邊。
20 And I [the] three the arrows [its] side I will shoot to send [them] for myself to a target.
到第三天，我要向石堆射箭，仿佛射靶。
21 And there! I will send the lad go find the arrows certainly [if] I will say to the lad there! the arrows - [are] from you and hither fetch it - and come! for safety [belongs] to you and there not [is] anything [by] [the] life of Yahweh.
看，我必打發一童僕去找箭，假如我我對童說：看，箭在你後面，拾回來吧! 你就可以出來，我指著永生的上主起誓：你必平安無事。
22 And if thus I will say to the young man there! the arrows [are] from you and beyond go for he has sent away you Yahweh.
倘若我對童僕自己說：看，箭在你前面。你就走吧! 因為上主打發你走。
23 And the matter which we have spoken I and you here! Yahweh [will be] between me and between you until perpetuity.
至於我和你現今所說的這話，有上主在我和你中間，永遠作證」。
24 And he hid himself David in the field and it was the new moon and he sat down the king (to *Q(K)*) the food to eat.
於是達味就去藏在田野間；到了月朔，君王入席吃飯。
25 And he sat down the king on seat his as time - on time to [the] seat of the wall and he arose Jonathan and he sat down Abner from [the] side of Saul and it was empty [the] place of David.
君王照例靠著牆坐在自己的位上，約納堂坐在他對面，阿貝乃爾坐在撒烏耳旁邊，達味的地方空著。
26 And not he spoke Saul anything on the day that for he said [is] an accident it not [is] clean he for not clean.
撒烏耳那天沒有說什麼，因為他想事情出於偶然，或許他染了不潔，還沒有自潔。
27 And it was from [the] next day of the new moon second and it was empty [the] place of David. And he said Saul to Jonathan son his why? not has he come [the] son of Jesse both yesterday as well as this day to the food.
日，即初二日，達味的座位仍空著，撒烏耳就對兒子約納堂說：「為什麼葉瑟的兒子昨日沒有來赴宴，今日又沒有來﹖」
28 And he answered Jonathan Saul certainly he asked for himself David from with me to Beth-lehem.
約納堂答覆撒烏耳說：「達味懇求我許他往白冷去。
29 And he said let go me please for a sacrifice of [the] clan [belongs] to us in the city and he he has commanded to me brother my and therefore if I have found favor in view your let me slip away please so I may see brothers my there-fore not he has come to [the] table of the king.
他說：求你讓我去，因為在城裏我們要舉行族祭，我的兄弟定要我去；所以，假若我在你眼中獲寵，求你讓我去，容我得見我的兄弟；為此，他沒有來赴君王的筳席」。
30 And it burned [the] anger of Saul on Jonathan and he said to him O son of perverse [woman] of rebelliousness ¿ not do I know that [are] choosing you [the] son of Jesse to own shame your and to [the] shame of [the] nakedness of mother your.
撒烏耳對約納堂勃然大怒，對他說：「娼婦的兒子! 豈能我不知道你同葉瑟的兒子一夥，甚至羞辱你自己，又我羞辱你母親的私處嗎﹖
31 For all the days which [the] son of Jesse he lives on the earth not you will be established you and kingdom your and therefore send and fetch him to me for [is] a son of death he.
你要知道，葉瑟的兒子活在世上一天，你連你的王位都不得穩當! 如今你差人去，把他給我抓來，因為他是該死的人」。
32 And he answered Jonathan Saul father his and he said to him why? will he be put to death what? has he done.
約納堂回答他父親撒烏耳說：「為什麼他該死﹖他作了什麼事﹖」
33 And he threw Saul the spear on him to strike him and he knew Jonathan that it had been determined it from with father his to kill David.
撒烏耳就舉起槍來要刺死他，約納堂便明白他父親已決意要殺達味。
34 And he arose Jonathan from with the table in [the] heat of anger and not he ate on [the] day of the new moon second food for he was grieved concerning David for he had put to shame him father his.
約納堂就起來，氣憤憤地離開了筳席；初二那天，也沒有吃飯，因為他為達味擔憂，又因為他父親辱罵了自己。
35 And it was in the morning and he went out Jonathan the field to [the] appointed time of David and a lad small [was] with him.
次日清晨，約納堂按照他與達味的約會，往田間去了；有個童僕跟隨著他。
36 And he said to lad his run find please the arrows which I [am] about to shoot the lad he ran and he he shot the arrow to make [it] pass beyond him.
他對那童僕說：「跑去，找所放的箭! 」童僕往前跑時，他又向前放了一箭。
37 And he came the lad to [the] place of the arrow which he had shot Jonathan and he called out Jonathan after the lad and he said ¿ not [is] the arrow from you and beyond.
當僮僕來到約納堂所射到的地方，約納堂就在僮後面喊說：「箭不是在你前面嗎﹖」
38 And he called out Jonathan after the lad quickly make haste! may not you delay and he picked up [the] lad of Jonathan (the arrows *Q(K)*) and he came to master his.
約納堂又在僮僕後面喊說：「趕快跑去，不要站住! 」約納堂的僮僕就拾了箭，給主人拿來。
39 And the lad not he knew anything only Jonathan and David they knew the matter.
那僮僕卻不知道是意思，只有約納堂和達味知道。
40 And he gave Jonathan weapons his to the lad who [belonged] to him and he said to him go take [them] the city.
然後約納堂把自己的武器交給他的僕僮，向他說：「帶回城去吧! 」
41 The lad he went and David he arose from beside the south and he fell to face his [the] ground towards and he bowed down three times and they kissed - each friend his and they wept for each friend his until David he did great things.
僮僕走後，達味就為不堆旁起來，俯伏在地，拜了三拜；以後他們彼此相吻，二人相抱對泣，達味哭得更甚。
42 And he said Jonathan to David go to peace that we have sworn an oath [the] two of us we by [the] name of Yahweh saying Yahweh he will be - between me and between you and between offspring my and between offspring your until perpetuity. And he arose and he went and Jonathan he went the city.
最後，約納堂對達味說：「你平安去吧! 照我們兩人以上主的名所起的誓：願上主永遠在我和你之間，在我的後代與你的後代之間! 」 達味就動身走了，約納堂也回到城裏﹖
