< 2 Samuel 21 >

1 And it was a famine in [the] days of David three years year after year and he sought David [the] face of Yahweh. And he said Yahweh because of Saul and because of [the] house of blood on that he put to death the Gibeonites.
大衛年間有饑荒,一連三年,大衛就求問耶和華。耶和華說:「這饑荒是因掃羅和他流人血之家殺死基遍人。」
2 And he summoned the king the Gibeonites and he said to them and the Gibeonites not [were] from [the] people of Israel they that except from [the] remnant of the Amorite[s] and [the] people of Israel they had sworn an oath to them and he had sought Saul to strike down them because was zealous he for [the] people of Israel and Judah.
原來這基遍人不是以色列人,乃是亞摩利人中所剩的;以色列人曾向他們起誓,不殺滅他們,掃羅卻為以色列人和猶大人發熱心,想要殺滅他們。大衛王召了他們來,
3 And he said David to the Gibeonites what? will I do for you and how? will I make amends and bless [the] inheritance of Yahweh.
問他們說:「我當為你們怎樣行呢?可用甚麼贖這罪,使你們為耶和華的產業祝福呢?」
4 And they said to him the Gibeonites not (to us *Q(K)*) silver and gold with Saul and with house his and not to us a man to put to death in Israel and he said what? [are] you saying I will do for you.
基遍人回答說:「我們和掃羅與他家的事並不關乎金銀,也不要因我們的緣故殺一個以色列人。」大衛說:「你們怎樣說,我就為你們怎樣行。」
5 And they said to the king the man who he made an end of us and who he planned to us we were destroyed from standing in all [the] territory of Israel.
他們對王說:「那從前謀害我們、要滅我們、使我們不得再住以色列境內的人,
6 (Let it be given *Q(K)*) to us seven men from descendants his and we will impale them to Yahweh at Gibeah of Saul [the] chosen one of Yahweh. And he said the king I I will give [them].
現在願將他的子孫七人交給我們,我們好在耶和華面前,將他們懸掛在耶和華揀選掃羅的基比亞。」王說:「我必交給你們。」
7 And he had compassion the king on Mephi-bosheth [the] son of Jonathan [the] son of Saul on [the] oath of Yahweh which [was] between them between David and between Jonathan [the] son of Saul.
王因為曾與掃羅的兒子約拿單指着耶和華起誓結盟,就愛惜掃羅的孫子、約拿單的兒子米非波設,不交出來,
8 And he took the king [the] two [the] sons of Rizpah [the] daughter of Aiah whom she had borne to Saul Armoni and Mephibosheth and [the] five [the] sons of Michal [the] daughter of Saul whom she had borne to Adriel [the] son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
卻把愛雅的女兒利斯巴給掃羅所生的兩個兒子亞摩尼、米非波設,和掃羅女兒米甲的姊姊給米何拉人巴西萊兒子亞得列所生的五個兒子
9 And he gave them in [the] hand of the Gibeonites and they impaled them on the mountain before Yahweh and they fell ([the] seven of them *Q(K)*) together (and they *Q(k)*) they were put to death in [the] days of harvest in the first (at [the] beginning of *Q(K)*) [the] harvest of barley.
交在基遍人的手裏。基遍人就把他們,在耶和華面前,懸掛在山上,這七人就一同死亡。被殺的時候正是收割的日子,就是動手割大麥的時候。
10 And she took Rizpah [the] daughter of Aiah sackcloth and she spread out it for herself to the rock from [the] beginning of harvest until it was poured out water on them from the heavens and not she permitted [the] bird[s] of the heavens to rest on them by day and [the] animal[s] of the field night.
愛雅的女兒利斯巴用麻布在磐石上搭棚,從動手收割的時候直到天降雨在屍身上的時候,日間不容空中的雀鳥落在屍身上,夜間不讓田野的走獸前來糟踐。
11 And it was told to David [that] which she had done Rizpah [the] daughter of Aiah [the] concubine of Saul.
有人將掃羅的妃嬪愛雅女兒利斯巴所行的這事告訴大衛。
12 And he went David and he took [the] bones of Saul and [the] bones of Jonathan son his from with [the] citizens of Jabesh Gilead who they had stolen them from [the] open square of Beth Shan where (they had hung up them there [the] Philistines *Q(K)*) on [the] day struck down [the] Philistines Saul on Gilboa.
大衛就去,從基列‧雅比人那裏將掃羅和他兒子約拿單的骸骨搬了來(是因非利士人從前在基利波殺掃羅,將屍身懸掛在伯‧珊的街市上,基列‧雅比人把屍身偷了去。)
13 And he brought up from there [the] bones of Saul and [the] bones of Jonathan son his and they gathered [the] bones of the impaled [men].
大衛將掃羅和他兒子約拿單的骸骨從那裏搬了來,又收殮被懸掛七人的骸骨,
14 And they buried [the] bones of Saul and Jonathan son his in [the] land of Benjamin at Zela in [the] tomb of Kish father his and they did all that he commanded the king and he was entreated God for the land after thus.
將掃羅和他兒子約拿單的骸骨葬在便雅憫的洗拉,在掃羅父親基士的墳墓裏;眾人行了王所吩咐的。此後上帝垂聽國民所求的。
15 And it belonged again war to the Philistines with Israel and he went down David and servants his with him and they fought with [the] Philistines and he was weary David.
非利士人與以色列人打仗;大衛帶領僕人下去,與非利士人接戰,大衛就疲乏了。
16 (And Ishbi-*Q(K)*) Benob who - [was] among those born of the Raphah and [the] weight of spear his [was] three hundred [the] weight of bronze and he [was] girded a new [weapon] and he said to strike down David.
偉人的一個兒子以實‧比諾要殺大衛;他的銅槍重三百舍客勒,又佩着新刀。
17 And he helped him Abishai [the] son of Zeruiah and he struck the Philistine and he killed him then they swore [the] men of David to him saying not you will go out again with us for battle and not you will extinguish [the] lamp of Israel.
但洗魯雅的兒子亞比篩幫助大衛,攻打非利士人,將他殺死。當日,跟隨大衛的人向大衛起誓說:「以後你不可再與我們一同出戰,恐怕熄滅以色列的燈。」
18 And it was after thus and it was again war at Gob with [the] Philistines then he struck down Sibbecai the Hushathite Saph who [was] among those born of the Raphah.
後來,以色列人在歌伯與非利士人打仗,戶沙人西比該殺了偉人的一個兒子撒弗。
19 And it was again war at Gob with [the] Philistines and he struck down Elhanan [the] son of Jaare-Oregim [the] Beth-lehemite Goliath the Gittite and [the] wood of spear his [was] like a beam of weavers.
又在歌伯與非利士人打仗,伯利恆人雅雷俄珥金的兒子伊勒哈難殺了迦特人歌利亞。這人的槍桿粗如織布的機軸。
20 And it was again war at Gath and he was - a man of (stature *Q(K)*) and [the] fingers of hands his and [the] toes of feet his [were] six and six [was] twenty and four [the] number and also he he was born to the Raphah.
又在迦特打仗,那裏有一個身量高大的人,手腳都是六指,共有二十四個指頭;他也是偉人的兒子。
21 And he taunted Israel and he struck down him Jonathan [the] son of (Shimeah *Q(K)*) [the] brother of David.
這人向以色列人罵陣,大衛的哥哥示米亞的兒子約拿單就殺了他。
22 Four these they were born to the Raphah in Gath and they fell by [the] hand of David and by [the] hand of servants his.
這四個人是迦特偉人的兒子,都死在大衛和他僕人的手下。
