1 Samuel 30
1 And it cometh to pass, in the coming in of David and his men to Ziklag, on the third day, that the Amalekites have pushed unto the south, and unto Ziklag, and smite Ziklag, and burn it with fire,
第三日，大卫和跟随他的人到了洗革拉。亚玛力人已经侵夺南地，攻破洗革拉，用火焚烧，
2 and they take captive the women who [are] in it; from small unto great they have not put any one to death, and they lead away, and go on their way.
掳了城内的妇女和其中的大小人口，却没有杀一个，都带着走了。
3 And David cometh in — and his men — unto the city, and lo, burnt with fire, and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters have been taken captive!
大卫和跟随他的人到了那城，不料，城已烧毁，他们的妻子儿女都被掳去了。
4 And David lifteth up — and the people who [are] with him — their voice and weep, till that they have no power to weep.
大卫和跟随他的人就放声大哭，直哭得没有气力。
5 And the two wives of David have been taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite;
大卫的两个妻—耶斯列人亚希暖和作过拿八妻的迦密人亚比该，也被掳去了。
6 and David hath great distress, for the people have said to stone him, for the soul of all the people hath been bitter, each for his sons and for his daughters; and David doth strengthen himself in Jehovah his God.
大卫甚是焦急，因众人为自己的儿女苦恼，说：“要用石头打死他。”大卫却倚靠耶和华—他的 神，心里坚固。
7 And David saith unto Abiathar the priest, son of Ahimelech, 'Bring nigh, I pray thee, to me the ephod;' and Abiathar bringeth nigh the ephod unto David,
大卫对亚希米勒的儿子祭司亚比亚他说：“请你将以弗得拿过来。”亚比亚他就将以弗得拿到大卫面前。
8 and David asketh at Jehovah, saying, 'I pursue after this troop — do I overtake it?' And He saith to him, 'Pursue, for thou dost certainly overtake, and dost certainly deliver.'
大卫求问耶和华说：“我追赶敌军，追得上追不上呢？”耶和华说：“你可以追，必追得上，都救得回来。”
9 And David goeth on, he and six hundred men who [are] with him, and they come in unto the brook of Besor, and those left have stood still,
于是，大卫和跟随他的六百人来到比梭溪；有不能前去的就留在那里。
10 and David pursueth, he and four hundred men, (and two hundred men stand still who have been too faint to pass over the brook of Besor),
大卫却带着四百人往前追赶，有二百人疲乏，不能过比梭溪，所以留在那里。
11 and they find a man, an Egyptian, in the field, and take him unto David, and give to him bread, and he eateth, and they cause him to drink water,
这四百人在田野遇见一个埃及人，就带他到大卫面前，给他饼吃，给他水喝，
12 and give to him a piece of a bunch of dried figs, and two bunches of raisins, and he eateth, and his spirit returneth unto him, for he hath not eaten bread nor drunk water three days and three nights.
又给他一块无花果饼，两个葡萄饼。他吃了，就精神复原；因为他三日三夜没有吃饼，没有喝水。
13 And David saith to him, 'Whose [art] thou? and whence [art] thou?' And he saith, 'An Egyptian youth I [am], servant to a man, an Amalekite, and my lord forsaketh me, for I have been sick three days,
大卫问他说：“你是属谁的？你是哪里的人？”他回答说：“我是埃及的少年人，是亚玛力人的奴仆；因我三日前患病，我主人就把我撇弃了。
14 we pushed [to] the south of the Cherethite, and against that which [is] to Judah, and against the south of Caleb, and Ziklag we burned with fire.'
我们侵夺了基利提的南方和属犹大的地，并迦勒地的南方，又用火烧了洗革拉。”
15 And David saith unto him, 'Dost thou bring me down unto this troop?' and he saith, 'Swear to me by God — thou dost not put me to death, nor dost thou shut me up into the hand of my lord — and I bring thee down unto this troop.'
大卫问他说：“你肯领我们到敌军那里不肯？”他回答说：“你要向我指着 神起誓，不杀我，也不将我交在我主人手里，我就领你下到敌军那里。”
16 And he bringeth him down, and lo, they are spread out over the face of all the earth, eating, and drinking, and feasting, with all the great spoil which they have taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
那人领大卫下去，见他们散在地上，吃喝跳舞，因为从非利士地和犹大地所掳来的财物甚多。
17 And David smiteth them from the twilight even unto the evening of the morrow, and there hath not escaped of them a man, except four hundred young men who have ridden on the camels, and are fled.
大卫从黎明直到次日晚上，击杀他们，除了四百骑骆驼的少年人之外，没有一个逃脱的。
18 And David delivereth all that the Amalekites have taken; also his two wives hath David delivered.
亚玛力人所掳去的财物，大卫全都夺回，并救回他的两个妻来。
19 And there hath not lacked to them [anything], from small unto great, and unto sons and daughters, and from the spoil, even unto all that they had taken to themselves, the whole hath David brought back,
凡亚玛力人所掳去的，无论大小、儿女、财物，大卫都夺回来，没有失落一个。
20 and David taketh the whole of the flock, and of the herd, they have led on before these cattle, and they say, 'This [is] David's spoil.'
大卫所夺来的牛群羊群，跟随他的人赶在原有的群畜前边，说：“这是大卫的掠物。”
21 And David cometh in unto the two hundred men who were too faint to go after David, and whom they cause to abide at the brook of Besor, and they go out to meet David, and to meet the people who [are] with him, and David approacheth the people, and asketh of them of welfare.
大卫到了那疲乏不能跟随、留在比梭溪的二百人那里。他们出来迎接大卫并跟随的人。大卫前来问他们安。
22 And every bad and worthless man, of the men who have gone with David, answereth, yea, they say, 'Because that they have not gone with us we do not give to them of the spoil which we have delivered, except each his wife and his children, and they lead away and go.
跟随大卫人中的恶人和匪类说：“这些人既然没有和我们同去，我们所夺的财物就不分给他们，只将他们各人的妻子儿女给他们，使他们带去就是了。”
23 And David saith, 'Ye do not do so, my brethren, with that which Jehovah hath given to us, and He doth preserve us, and doth give the troop which cometh against us into our hand;
大卫说：“弟兄们，耶和华所赐给我们的，不可不分给他们；因为他保佑我们，将那攻击我们的敌军交在我们手里。
24 and who doth hearken to you in this thing? for as the portion of him who was brought down into battle, so also [is] the portion of him who is abiding by the vessels — alike they share.'
这事谁肯依从你们呢？上阵的得多少，看守器具的也得多少；应当大家平分。”
25 And it cometh to pass from that day and forward, that he appointeth it for a statute and for an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
大卫定此为以色列的律例典章，从那日直到今日。
26 And David cometh in unto Ziklag, and sendeth of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his friends, (saying, 'Lo, for you a blessing, of the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah),'
大卫到了洗革拉，从掠物中取些送给他朋友犹大的长老，说：“这是从耶和华仇敌那里夺来的，送你们为礼物。”
27 to those in Beth-El, and to those in South Ramoth, and to those in Jattir,
他送礼物给住伯特利的，南地拉末的，雅提珥的；
28 and to those in Aroer, and to those in Siphmoth, and to those in Eshtemoa,
住亚罗珥的，息末的，以实提莫的；
29 and to those in Rachal, and to those in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those in the cities of the Kenites,
住拉哈勒的，耶拉篾各城的，基尼各城的；
30 and to those in Hormah, and to those in Chor-Ashan, and to those in Athach,
住何珥玛的，歌拉珊的，亚挞的；
31 and to those in Hebron, and to all the places where David had gone up and down, he and his men.
住希伯 的，并大卫和跟随他的人素来所到之处的人。
