< 1 Kings 2 >
1 Forsothe the daies of Dauid neiyiden, that he schulde die; and he comaundide to Salomon, his sone, and seide, Lo!
大卫的死期临近了,就嘱咐他儿子所罗门说:
2 Y entre in to the weie of al erthe; be thou coumfortid, and be thou a strong man.
“我现在要走世人必走的路。所以,你当刚强,作大丈夫,
3 And kepe thou the kepyngis and heestis of thi Lord God, that thou go in hise weies, and kepe hise cerymonyes, and hise heestis, and hise domes, and witnessyngis, as it is writun in the lawe of Moises; that thou vndurstonde alle thingis whiche thou doist, and whidur euer thou schalt turne thee.
遵守耶和华—你 神所吩咐的,照着摩西律法上所写的行主的道,谨守他的律例、诫命、典章、法度。这样,你无论做什么事,不拘往何处去,尽都亨通。
4 That the Lord conferme hise wordis, whiche the Lord spak of me, and seide, If thi sones kepen my weies, and goen bifor me in treuthe, in al her herte, and in al her soule, a man schal not be takun awei of thee fro the trone of Israel.
耶和华必成就向我所应许的话说:‘你的子孙若谨慎自己的行为,尽心尽意诚诚实实地行在我面前,就不断人坐以色列的国位。’
5 Also thou knowist what thingis Joab, the sone of Saruye, dide to me; what thingis he dide to twey princis of the oost of Israel, to Abner, sone of Ner, and to Amasa, sone of Jether, whiche he killide, and schedde the blood of batel in pees; and puttide the blood of batel in his girdil, that was aboute hise leendis, and in his scho, that was in hise feet.
你知道洗鲁雅的儿子约押向我所行的,就是杀了以色列的两个元帅:尼珥的儿子押尼珥和益帖的儿子亚玛撒。他在太平之时流这二人的血,如在争战之时一样,将这血染了腰间束的带和脚上穿的鞋。
6 Therfor thou schalt do by thi wisdom, and thou schalt not lede forth his hoornesse pesibli to hellis. (Sheol )
所以你要照你的智慧行,不容他白头安然下阴间。 (Sheol )
7 But also thou schalt yelde grace to the sones of Bersellai of Galaad, and thei schulen be eetynge in thi boord; for thei metten me, whanne Y fledde fro the face of Absolon, thi brother.
你当恩待基列人巴西莱的众子,使他们常与你同席吃饭;因为我躲避你哥哥押沙龙的时候,他们拿食物来迎接我。
8 Also thou hast anentis thee Semey, sone of Gera, sone of Gemyny, of Bahurym, which Semei curside me bi the worste cursyng, whanne Y yede to `the castels; but for he cam doun to me in to metyng, whanne Y passide Jordan, and Y swoor to him bi the Lord, and seide, Y schal not slee thee bi swerd,
在你这里有巴户琳的便雅悯人,基拉的儿子示每;我往玛哈念去的那日,他用狠毒的言语咒骂我,后来却下约旦河迎接我,我就指着耶和华向他起誓说:‘我必不用刀杀你。’
9 nyle thou suffre hym to be vnpunyschid; forsothe thou art a wise man, and thou schalt wite what thou schalt do to hym, and thou schalt lede forth hise hoor heeris with blood to hellis. (Sheol )
现在你不要以他为无罪。你是聪明人,必知道怎样待他,使他白头见杀,流血下到阴间。” (Sheol )
10 Sotheli Dauid slepte with hise fadris, and was biriede in the citee of Dauid.
大卫与他列祖同睡,葬在大卫城。
11 Forsothe the daies, in whiche Dauid regnede on Israel, ben fourti yeer; in Ebron he regned seuene yeer, in Jerusalem thre and thretti yeer.
大卫作以色列王四十年:在希伯 作王七年,在耶路撒冷作王三十三年。
12 Forsothe Salomon sat on the trone of Dauid, his fadir, and his rewme was maad stidfast greetli.
所罗门坐他父亲大卫的位,他的国甚是坚固。
13 And Adonye, sone of Agith, entride to Bersabee, modir of Salomon; and sche seide to hym, Whether thin entryng is pesible? And he answeride, It is pesible.
哈及的儿子亚多尼雅去见所罗门的母亲拔示巴,拔示巴问他说:“你来是为平安吗?”回答说:“是为平安”;
14 And he addide, A word of me is to thee. `To whom sche seide, Speke thou.
又说:“我有话对你说。”拔示巴说:“你说吧。”
15 And he seide, Thou knowist that the rewme was myn, and al Israel purposide to make me in to king to hem; but the rewme is translatid, and is maad my brotheris; for of the Lord it is ordeyned to hym.
亚多尼雅说:“你知道国原是归我的,以色列众人也都仰望我作王,不料,国反归了我兄弟,因他得国是出乎耶和华。
16 Now therfor Y preye of the oon axyng; schende thou not my face. And sche seide to hym, Speke thou. And he seide, Y preie,
现在我有一件事求你,望你不要推辞。”拔示巴说:“你说吧。”
17 that thou seie to Salomon the king; for he may not denye ony thing to thee; that he yyue to me Abisag of Sunam wijf.
他说:“求你请所罗门王将书念的女子亚比煞赐我为妻,因他必不推辞你。”
18 And Bersabee seide, Wel, Y schal speke for thee to the kyng.
拔示巴说:“好,我必为你对王提说。”
19 Therfor Bersabee cam to kyng Salomon, to speke to hym for Adonye; and the kyng roos ayens the comyng of hir, and worschipide hir, and `sat on his trone; and a trone was set to the modir of the kyng, and sche sat at his riyt side.
于是,拔示巴去见所罗门王,要为亚多尼雅提说;王起来迎接,向她下拜,就坐在位上,吩咐人为王母设一座位,她便坐在王的右边。
20 And sche seide to hym, Y preie of thee o litil axyng; schende thou not my face. And the kyng seide to hir, My modir, axe thou; for it is not leueful that Y turne awei thi face.
拔示巴说:“我有一件小事求你,望你不要推辞。”王说:“请母亲说,我必不推辞。”
21 And sche seide, Abisag of Sunam be youun wijf to Adonye, thi brother.
拔示巴说:“求你将书念的女子亚比煞赐给你哥哥亚多尼雅为妻。”
22 And kyng Salomon answeride, and seide to his modir, Whi axist thou Abisag of Sunam to Adonye? Axe thou to hym also the rewme; for he is `my gretter brothir, and he hath Abiathar, preest, and Joab, sone of Saruye.
所罗门王对他母亲说:“为何单替他求书念的女子亚比煞呢?也可以为他求国吧!他是我的哥哥,他有祭司亚比亚他和洗鲁雅的儿子约押为辅佐。”
23 Therfor kyng Salomon swoor bi the Lord, and seide, God do to me these thingis, and adde these thinges, for Adonie spak this word ayens his lijf.
所罗门王就指着耶和华起誓说:“亚多尼雅这话是自己送命,不然,愿 神重重地降罚与我。
24 And now the Lord lyueth, that confermede me, and hath set me on the trone of my fadir, and that hath maad to me an hows, as he spak, for Adonye schal be slayn to dai.
耶和华坚立我,使我坐在父亲大卫的位上,照着所应许的话为我建立家室;现在我指着永生的耶和华起誓,亚多尼雅今日必被治死。”
25 And kyng Salomon sente bi the hond of Banaie, sone of Joiada; which Banaie killide Adonye, and he was deed.
于是所罗门王差遣耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅,将亚多尼雅杀死。
26 Also the kyng seide to Abiathar, preest, Go thou in to Anatot, to thi feeld; and sotheli thou art a man of deeth, `that is, worthi the deeth, for conspiryng ayens me, and the ordynaunce of God, and of my fadir; but to dai Y schal not sle thee, for thou barist the arke of the Lord God bifor Dauid, my fadir, and thou suffridist trauele in alle thingis, in whiche my fadir trauelide.
王对祭司亚比亚他说:“你回亚拿突归自己的田地去吧!你本是该死的,但因你在我父亲大卫面前抬过主耶和华的约柜,又与我父亲同受一切苦难,所以我今日不将你杀死。”
27 Therfor Salomon puttide out Abiathar, that he schulde not be preest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord were fillid, which he spak on the hows of Heli, in Silo.
所罗门就革除亚比亚他,不许他作耶和华的祭司。这样,便应验耶和华在示罗论以利家所说的话。
28 Forsothe a messager cam to Salomon, that Joab hadde bowid aftir Adonye, and that he hadde not bowid after Salomon. Therfor Joab fledde in to the tabernacle of the Lord, and took the horn of the auter.
约押虽然没有归从押沙龙,却归从了亚多尼雅。他听见这风声,就逃到耶和华的帐幕,抓住祭坛的角。
29 And it was teld to kyng Salomon, that Joab hadde fledde in to the tabernacle of the Lord, and was bisidis the auter; and Salomon sente Banaie, sone of Joiada, and seide, Go thou, and sle hym.
有人告诉所罗门王说:“约押逃到耶和华的帐幕,现今在祭坛的旁边。”所罗门就差遣耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅,说:“你去将他杀死。”
30 And Banaie cam to the tabernacle of the Lord, and seide to Joab, The kyng seith these thingis, Go thou out. And he seide, Y schal not go out, but Y schal die here. Banaie telde the word to the kyng, and seide, Joab spak thes thingis, and answeride these thingis to me.
比拿雅来到耶和华的帐幕,对约押说:“王吩咐说,你出来吧!”他说:“我不出去,我要死在这里。”比拿雅就去回复王,说约押如此如此回答我。
31 And the kyng seide to Banaie, Do thou as he spak, and sle thou hym, and birie him; and thou schalt remoue the innocent blood, that was sched out of Joab, fro me, and fro the hows of my fadir.
王说:“你可以照着他的话行,杀死他,将他葬埋,好叫约押流无辜人血的罪不归我和我的父家了。
32 And the Lord yelde on his heed his blood, for he killide twei iust men, and betere than hym silf, and he killide hem bi swerd, while Dauid, my fadir, `wiste not, Abner, the sone of Ner, the prince of the chyualrie of Israel, and Amasa, sone of Jether, the prince of the oost of Juda.
耶和华必使约押流人血的罪归到他自己的头上;因为他用刀杀了两个比他又义又好的人,就是以色列元帅尼珥的儿子押尼珥和犹大元帅益帖的儿子亚玛撒,我父亲大卫却不知道。
33 And the blood of hem schal turne ayen in to the heed of Joab, and in to the heed of his seed with outen ende; forsothe pees be of the Lord til in to with outen ende to Dauid, and to his seed, and to the hous and trone of hym.
故此,流这二人血的罪必归到约押和他后裔的头上,直到永远;惟有大卫和他的后裔,并他的家与国,必从耶和华那里得平安,直到永远。”
34 Therfor Banaie, sone of Joiada, stiede, and asailide, and killide Joab; and Joab was biried in his hows in deseert.
于是耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅上去,将约押杀死,葬在旷野约押自己的坟墓里。
35 And the kyng ordeynede Banaie, sone of Joiada, on the oost for hym; and the kyng puttide Sadoch preest for Abiathar.
王就立耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅作元帅,代替约押,又使祭司撒督代替亚比亚他。
36 Also the kyng sente, and clepide Semey, and seide to hym, Bilde to thee an hows in Jerusalem, and dwelle thou there, and thou schalt not go out fro thennus hidur and thidur;
王差遣人将示每召来,对他说:“你要在耶路撒冷建造房屋居住,不可出来往别处去。
37 sotheli in what euer dai thou goist out, and passist the stronde of Cedron, wite thou thee worthi to be slayn; thi blood schal be on thin heed.
你当确实地知道,你何日出来过汲沦溪,何日必死!你的罪必归到自己的头上。”
38 And Semei seide to the kyng, The word of the kyng is good; as my lord the kyng spak, so thi seruaunt schal do. Therfor Semey dwellide in Jerusalem in many daies.
示每对王说:“这话甚好!我主我王怎样说,仆人必怎样行。”于是示每多日住在耶路撒冷。
39 Forsothe it was doon after thre yeer, that the seruauntis of Semei fledden to Achis, sone of Maacha, the kyng of Geth; and it was teld to Semey, that hise seruauntis hadden go in to Geth.
过了三年,示每的两个仆人逃到迦特王玛迦的儿子亚吉那里去。有人告诉示每说:“你的仆人在迦特。”
40 And Semey roos, and sadlide his asse, and yede to Achis, in to Geth, to seke hise seruauntis; and brouyte hem ayen fro Geth.
示每起来,备上驴,往迦特到亚吉那里去找他的仆人,就从迦特带他仆人回来。
41 Forsothe it was teld to kyng Salomon, that Semey hadde go to Geth fro Jerusalem, and hadde come ayen.
有人告诉所罗门说:“示每出耶路撒冷往迦特去,回来了。”
42 And Salomon sente, and clepide hym, and seide to hym, Whether Y witnessede not to thee bi the Lord, and bifor seide to thee, In what euer dai thou schalt go out hidur and thidur, wite thou that thou schalt die; and thou answeridist to me, The word is good, which Y herde?
王就差遣人将示每召了来,对他说:“我岂不是叫你指着耶和华起誓,并且警戒你说‘你当确实地知道,你哪日出来往别处去,那日必死’吗?你也对我说:‘这话甚好,我必听从。’
43 Whi therfor keptist thou not the ooth of the Lord, and the comaundement which Y comaundide to thee?
现在你为何不遵守你指着耶和华起的誓和我所吩咐你的命令呢?”
44 And the kyng seide to Semei, Thou knowist al the yuel, of which thin herte is gilti to thee, which yuel thou didist to my fadir; the Lord hath yolde thi malice in to thin heed.
王又对示每说:“你向我父亲大卫所行的一切恶事,你自己心里也知道,所以耶和华必使你的罪恶归到自己的头上;
45 And kyng Salomon schal be blessid; and the trone of Dauid schal be stable bifor the Lord til in to with outen ende.
惟有所罗门王必得福,并且大卫的国位必在耶和华面前坚定,直到永远。”
46 Therfor the kyng comaundide to Banaie, sone of Joiada; and he assailide, and smoot Semey, and he was deed.
于是王吩咐耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅,他就去杀死示每。这样,便坚定了所罗门的国位。
