< 2 Samuel 16 >
1 And David hath passed on a little from the top, and lo, Ziba, servant of Mephibosheth — to meet him, and a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves, and a hundred bunches of raisins, and a hundred [of] summer-fruit, and a bottle of wine.
大卫刚过山顶,见米非波设的仆人洗巴拉着备好了的两匹驴,驴上驮着二百面饼,一百葡萄饼,一百个夏天的果饼,一皮袋酒来迎接他。
2 And the king saith unto Ziba, 'What — these to thee?' and Ziba saith, 'The asses for the household of the king to ride on, and the bread and the summer-fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine for the wearied to drink in the wilderness.'
王问洗巴说:“你带这些来是什么意思呢?”洗巴说:“驴是给王的家眷骑的;面饼和夏天的果饼是给少年人吃的;酒是给在旷野疲乏人喝的。”
3 And the king saith, 'And where [is] the son of thy lord?' and Ziba saith unto the king, 'Lo, he is abiding in Jerusalem, for he said, To-day do the house of Israel give back to me the kingdom of my father.'
王问说:“你主人的儿子在哪里呢?”洗巴回答王说:“他仍在耶路撒冷,因他说:‘以色列人今日必将我父的国归还我。’”
4 And the king saith to Ziba, 'Lo, thine [are] all that Mephibosheth hath;' and Ziba saith, 'I have bowed myself — I find grace in thine eyes, my lord, O king.'
王对洗巴说:“凡属米非波设的都归你了。”洗巴说:“我叩拜我主我王,愿我在你眼前蒙恩。”
5 And king David hath come in unto Bahurim, and lo, thence a man is coming out, of the family of the house of Saul, and his name [is] Shimei, son of Gera, he cometh out, coming out and reviling;
大卫王到了巴户琳,见有一个人出来,是扫罗族基拉的儿子,名叫示每。他一面走一面咒骂,
6 and he stoneth David with stones, and all the servants of king David, and all the people, and all the mighty men on his right and on his left.
又拿石头砍大卫王和王的臣仆;众民和勇士都在王的左右。
7 And thus said Shimei in his reviling, 'Go out, go out, O man of blood, and man of worthlessness!
示每咒骂说:“你这流人血的坏人哪,去吧去吧!
8 Jehovah hath turned back on thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned, and Jehovah doth give the kingdom in to the hand of Absalom thy son; and lo, thou [art] in thine evil, for a man of blood thou [art].'
你流扫罗全家的血,接续他作王;耶和华把这罪归在你身上,将这国交给你儿子押沙龙。现在你自取其祸,因为你是流人血的人。”
9 And Abishai son of Zeruiah saith unto the king, 'Why doth this dead dog revile my lord the king? let me pass over, I pray thee, and I turn aside his head.'
洗鲁雅的儿子亚比筛对王说:“这死狗岂可咒骂我主我王呢?求你容我过去,割下他的头来。”
10 And the king saith, 'What — to me and to you, O sons of Zeruiah? for — let him revile; even because Jehovah hath said to him, Revile David; and who saith, Wherefore hast Thou done so?'
王说:“洗鲁雅的儿子,我与你们有何关涉呢?他咒骂是因耶和华吩咐他说:‘你要咒骂大卫。’如此,谁敢说你为什么这样行呢?”
11 And David saith unto Abishai, and unto all his servants, 'Lo, my son who came out of my bowels is seeking my life, and also surely now the Benjamite; leave him alone, and let him revile, for Jehovah hath said [so] to him;
大卫又对亚比筛和众臣仆说:“我亲生的儿子尚且寻索我的性命,何况这便雅悯人呢?由他咒骂吧!因为这是耶和华吩咐他的。
12 it may be Jehovah doth look on mine affliction, and Jehovah hath turned back to me good for his reviling this day.'
或者耶和华见我遭难,为我今日被这人咒骂,就施恩与我。”
13 And David goeth with his men in the way, and Shimei is going at the side of the hill over-against him, going on, and he revileth, and stoneth with stones over-against him, and hath dusted with dust.
于是大卫和跟随他的人往前行走。示每在大卫对面山坡,一面行走一面咒骂,又拿石头砍他,拿土扬他。
14 And the king cometh in, and all the people who [are] with him, wearied, and they are refreshed there.
王和跟随他的众人疲疲乏乏地到了一个地方,就在那里歇息歇息。
15 And Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, have come in to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him,
押沙龙和以色列众人来到耶路撒冷;亚希多弗也与他同来。
16 and it cometh to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, hath come unto Absalom, that Hushai saith unto Absalom, 'Let the king live! let the king live!'
大卫的朋友亚基人户筛去见押沙龙,对他说:“愿王万岁!愿王万岁!”
17 And Absalom saith unto Hushai, 'This thy kindness with thy friend! why hast thou not gone with thy friend?'
押沙龙问户筛说:“这是你恩待朋友吗?为什么不与你的朋友同去呢?”
18 And Hushai saith unto Absalom, 'Nay, for he whom Jehovah hath chosen, and this people, even all the men of Israel, his I am, and with him I abide;
户筛对押沙龙说:“不然,耶和华和这民,并以色列众人所拣选的,我必归顺他,与他同住。
19 and secondly, for whom do I labour? is it not before his son? as I served before thy father so am I before thee.'
再者,我当服事谁呢?岂不是前王的儿子吗?我怎样服事你父亲,也必照样服事你。”
20 And Absalom saith unto Ahithophel, 'Give for you counsel what we do.'
押沙龙对亚希多弗说:“你们出个主意,我们怎样行才好?”
21 And Ahithophel saith unto Absalom, 'Go in unto the concubines of thy father, whom he left to keep the house, and all Israel hath heard that thou hast been abhorred by thy father, and the hands of all who [are] with thee have been strong.'
亚希多弗对押沙龙说:“你父所留下看守宫殿的妃嫔,你可以与她们亲近。以色列众人听见你父亲憎恶你,凡归顺你人的手就更坚强。”
22 And they spread out for Absalom the tent on the roof, and Absalom goeth in unto the concubines of his father before the eyes of all Israel.
于是人为押沙龙在宫殿的平顶上支搭帐棚;押沙龙在以色列众人眼前,与他父的妃嫔亲近。
23 And the counsel of Ahithophel which he counselled in those days [is] as [when] one inquireth at the word of God; so [is] all the counsel of Ahithophel both to David and to Absalom.
那时亚希多弗所出的主意好像人问 神的话一样;他昔日给大卫,今日给押沙龙所出的主意,都是这样。
