2 Samuel 1
1 And it cometh to pass, after the death of Saul, that David hath returned from smiting the Amalekite, and David dwelleth in Ziklag two days,
掃羅死後，大衛擊殺亞瑪力人回來，在洗革拉住了兩天。
2 and it cometh to pass, on the third day, that lo, a man hath come in out of the camp from Saul, and his garments [are] rent, and earth on his head; and it cometh to pass, in his coming in unto David, that he falleth to the earth, and doth obeisance.
第三天，有一人從掃羅的營裏出來，衣服撕裂，頭蒙灰塵，到大衛面前伏地叩拜。
3 And David saith to him, 'Whence comest thou?' and he saith unto him, 'Out of the camp of Israel I have escaped.'
大衛問他說：「你從哪裏來？」他說：「我從以色列的營裏逃來。」
4 And David saith unto him, 'What hath been the matter? declare, I pray thee, to me.' And he saith, that 'The people hath fled from the battle, and also a multitude hath fallen of the people, and they die; and also Saul and Jonathan his son have died.'
大衛又問他說：「事情怎樣？請你告訴我。」他回答說：「百姓從陣上逃跑，也有許多人仆倒死亡；掃羅和他兒子約拿單也死了。」
5 And David saith unto the youth who is declaring [it] to him, 'How hast thou known that Saul and Jonathan his son [are] dead?'
大衛問報信的少年人說：「你怎麼知道掃羅和他兒子約拿單死了呢？」
6 And the youth who is declaring [it] to him saith, I happened to meet in mount Gilboa, and lo, Saul is leaning on his spear; and lo, the chariots and those possessing horses have followed him;
報信的少年人說：「我偶然到基利波山，看見掃羅伏在自己槍上，有戰車、馬兵緊緊地追他。
7 and he turneth behind him, and seeth me, and calleth unto me, and I say, Here [am] I.
他回頭看見我，就呼叫我。我說：『我在這裏。』
8 And he saith to me, Who [art] thou? and I say unto him, An Amalekite I [am].'
他問我說：『你是甚麼人？』我說：『我是亞瑪力人。』
9 'And he saith unto me, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and put me to death, for seized me hath the arrow, for all my soul [is] still in me.
他說：『請你來，將我殺死；因為痛苦抓住我，我的生命尚存。』
10 And I stand over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he doth not live after his falling, and I take the crown which [is] on his head, and the bracelet which [is] on his arm, and bring them in unto my lord hither.'
我準知他仆倒必不能活，就去將他殺死，把他頭上的冠冕、臂上的鐲子拿到我主這裏。」
11 And David taketh hold on his garments, and rendeth them, and also all the men who [are] with him,
大衛就撕裂衣服，跟隨他的人也是如此，
12 and they mourn, and weep, and fast till the evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel, because they have fallen by the sword.
而且悲哀哭號，禁食到晚上，是因掃羅和他兒子約拿單，並耶和華的民以色列家的人，倒在刀下。
13 And David saith unto the youth who is declaring [it] to him, 'Whence [art] thou?' and he saith, 'Son of a sojourner, an Amalekite, I [am].'
大衛問報信的少年人說：「你是哪裏的人？」他說：「我是亞瑪力客人的兒子。」
14 And David saith unto him, 'How wast thou not afraid to put forth thy hand to destroy the anointed of Jehovah?'
大衛說：「你伸手殺害耶和華的受膏者，怎麼不畏懼呢？」
15 And David calleth to one of the youths, and saith, 'Draw nigh — fall upon him;' and he smiteth him, and he dieth;
大衛叫了一個少年人來，說：「你去殺他吧！」
16 and David saith unto him, 'Thy blood [is] on thine own head, for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I — I put to death the anointed of Jehovah.'
大衛對他說：「你流人血的罪歸到自己的頭上，因為你親口作見證說：『我殺了耶和華的受膏者。』」少年人就把他殺了。
17 And David lamenteth with this lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son;
大衛作哀歌，弔掃羅和他兒子約拿單，
18 and he saith to teach the sons of Judah 'The Bow;' lo, it is written on the book of the Upright: —
且吩咐將這歌教導猶大人。這歌名叫「弓歌」，寫在雅煞珥書上。
19 'The Roebuck, O Israel, On thy high places [is] wounded; How have the mighty fallen!
歌中說：以色列啊， 你尊榮者在山上被殺！ 大英雄何竟死亡！
20 Declare [it] not in Gath, Proclaim not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon, Lest they rejoice — The daughters of the Philistines, Lest they exult — The daughters of the Uncircumcised!
不要在迦特報告； 不要在亞實基倫街上傳揚； 免得非利士的女子歡樂； 免得未受割禮之人的女子矜誇。
21 Mountains of Gilboa! No dew nor rain be on you, And fields of heave-offerings! For there hath become loathsome The shield of the mighty, The shield of Saul — without the anointed with oil.
基利波山哪，願你那裏沒有雨露！ 願你田地無土產可作供物！ 因為英雄的盾牌在那裏被污丟棄； 掃羅的盾牌彷彿未曾抹油。
22 From the blood of the wounded, From the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan Hath not turned backward; And the sword of Saul doth not return empty.
約拿單的弓箭非流敵人的血不退縮； 掃羅的刀劍非剖勇士的油不收回。
23 Saul and Jonathan! They are loved and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they have not been parted. Than eagles they have been lighter, Than lions they have been mightier!
掃羅和約拿單－ 活時相悅相愛，死時也不分離 －他們比鷹更快，比獅子還強。
24 Daughters of Israel! for Saul weep ye, Who is clothing you [in] scarlet with delights. Who is lifting up ornaments of gold on your clothing.
以色列的女子啊，當為掃羅哭號！ 他曾使你們穿朱紅色的美衣， 使你們衣服有黃金的妝飾。
25 How have the mighty fallen In the midst of the battle! Jonathan! on thy high places wounded!
英雄何竟在陣上仆倒！ 約拿單何竟在山上被殺！
26 I am in distress for thee, my brother Jonathan, Very pleasant wast thou to me; Wonderful was thy love to me, Above the love of women!
我兄約拿單哪，我為你悲傷！ 我甚喜悅你！ 你向我發的愛情奇妙非常， 過於婦女的愛情。
27 How have the mighty fallen, Yea, the weapons of war perish!'
英雄何竟仆倒！ 戰具何竟滅沒！
