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.
大衛從拉瑪的拿約逃跑，來到約拿單那裏，對他說：「我做了甚麼？有甚麼罪孽呢？在你父親面前犯了甚麼罪，他竟尋索我的性命呢？」
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.
約拿單回答說：「斷然不是！你必不致死。我父做事，無論大小，沒有不叫我知道的。怎麼獨有這事隱瞞我呢？決不如此。」
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.
大衛又起誓說：「你父親準知我在你眼前蒙恩。他心裏說，不如不叫約拿單知道，恐怕他愁煩。我指着永生的耶和華，又敢在你面前起誓，我離死不過一步。」
4 And he said Jonathan to David whatever it will say self your so I may do for you.
約拿單對大衛說：「你心裏所求的，我必為你成就。」
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.
大衛對約拿單說：「明日是初一，我當與王同席，求你容我去藏在田野，直到第三日晚上。
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.
你父親若見我不在席上，你就說：『大衛切求我許他回本城伯利恆去，因為他全家在那裏獻年祭。』
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.
你父親若說好，僕人就平安了；他若發怒，你就知道他決意要害我。
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.
求你施恩與僕人，因你在耶和華面前曾與僕人結盟。我若有罪，不如你自己殺我，何必將我交給你父親呢？」
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.
約拿單說：「斷無此事！我若知道我父親決意害你，我豈不告訴你呢？」
10 And he said David to Jonathan who? will he tell to me or what? will he answer you father your hard.
大衛對約拿單說：「你父親若用厲言回答你，誰來告訴我呢？」
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.
約拿單對大衛說：「你我且往田野去。」二人就往田野去了。
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.
約拿單對大衛說：「願耶和華－以色列的上帝為證。明日約在這時候，或第三日，我探我父親的意思，若向你有好意，我豈不打發人告訴你嗎？
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.
我父親若有意害你，我不告訴你使你平平安安地走，願耶和華重重地降罰與我。願耶和華與你同在，如同從前與我父親同在一樣。
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.
你要照耶和華的慈愛恩待我，不但我活着的時候免我死亡，
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.
就是我死後，耶和華從地上剪除你仇敵的時候，你也永不可向我家絕了恩惠。」
16 And he made Jonathan with [the] house of David and he will require Yahweh from [the] hand of [the] enemies of David.
於是約拿單與大衛家結盟，說：「願耶和華藉大衛的仇敵追討背約的罪。」
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.
約拿單因愛大衛如同愛自己的性命，就使他再起誓。
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.
約拿單對他說：「明日是初一，你的座位空設，人必理會你不在那裏。
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.
你等三日，就要速速下去，到你從前遇事所藏的地方，在以色磐石那裏等候。
20 And I [the] three the arrows [its] side I will shoot to send [them] for myself to a target.
我要向磐石旁邊射三箭，如同射箭靶一樣。
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.
我要打發童子，說：『去把箭找來。』我若對童子說：『箭在後頭，把箭拿來』，你就可以回來；我指着永生的耶和華起誓，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.
我若對童子說：『箭在前頭』，你就要去，因為是耶和華打發你去的。
23 And the matter which we have spoken I and you here! Yahweh [will be] between me and between you until perpetuity.
至於你我今日所說的話，有耶和華在你我中間為證，直到永遠。」
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.
大衛就去藏在田野。到了初一日，王坐席要吃飯。
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.
王照常坐在靠牆的位上，約拿單侍立，押尼珥坐在掃羅旁邊，大衛的座位空設。
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.
然而這日掃羅沒有說甚麼，他想大衛遇事，偶染不潔，他必定是不潔。
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.
初二日大衛的座位還空設。掃羅問他兒子約拿單說：「耶西的兒子為何昨日、今日沒有來吃飯呢？」
28 And he answered Jonathan Saul certainly he asked for himself David from with me to Beth-lehem.
約拿單回答掃羅說：「大衛切求我容他往伯利恆去。
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：『求你容我去，因為我家在城裏有獻祭的事；我長兄吩咐我去。如今我若在你眼前蒙恩，求你容我去見我的弟兄』；所以大衛沒有赴王的席。」
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.
掃羅向約拿單發怒，對他說：「你這頑梗背逆之婦人所生的，我豈不知道你喜悅耶西的兒子，自取羞辱，以致你母親露體蒙羞嗎？
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.
耶西的兒子若在世間活着，你和你的國位必站立不住。現在你要打發人去，將他捉拿交給我；他是該死的。」
32 And he answered Jonathan Saul father his and he said to him why? will he be put to death what? has he done.
約拿單對父親掃羅說：「他為甚麼該死呢？他做了甚麼呢？」
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.
掃羅向約拿單掄槍要刺他，約拿單就知道他父親決意要殺大衛。
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.
於是約拿單氣忿忿地從席上起來，在這初二日沒有吃飯。他因見父親羞辱大衛，就為大衛愁煩。
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.
次日早晨，約拿單按着與大衛約會的時候出到田野，有一個童子跟隨。
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.
約拿單對童子說：「你跑去，把我所射的箭找來。」童子跑去，約拿單就把箭射在童子前頭。
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.
童子到了約拿單落箭之地，約拿單呼叫童子說：「箭不是在你前頭嗎？」
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.
約拿單又呼叫童子說：「速速地去，不要遲延！」童子就拾起箭來，回到主人那裏。
39 And the lad not he knew anything only Jonathan and David they knew the matter.
童子卻不知道這是甚麼意思，只有約拿單和大衛知道。
40 And he gave Jonathan weapons his to the lad who [belonged] to him and he said to him go take [them] the city.
約拿單將弓箭交給童子，吩咐說：「你拿到城裏去。」
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.
童子一去，大衛就從磐石的南邊出來，俯伏在地，拜了三拜；二人親嘴，彼此哭泣，大衛哭得更慟。
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.
約拿單對大衛說：「我們二人曾指着耶和華的名起誓說：『願耶和華在你我中間，並你我後裔中間為證，直到永遠。』如今你平平安安地去吧！」大衛就起身走了；約拿單也回城裏去了。
