1 Hondo pakati peimba yaSauro neimba yaDhavhidhi yakatora nguva refu isati yapera. Dhavhidhi akaramba achisimba asi imba yaSauro yakaramba ichipererwa nesimba.
撒烏耳家與達味家間的戰爭相持很久;但達味家逐漸強盛,撒烏耳家卻日趨衰弱。
2 Dhavhidhi akaberekerwa vanakomana paHebhuroni: Dangwe rake raiva Amunoni mwanakomana waAbhinoami weJezireeri;
達味在赫貝龍生的兒子:長子阿默農,是依次勒耳人阿希諾罕所生;

六子依特蘭,是達味妻子厄革拉所生:以上是達味在赫貝龍所生的兒子。
6 Munguva yehondo pakati peimba yaSauro neimba yaDhavhidhi, Abhineri akanga achisimbisa chinzvimbo chake muimba yaSauro.
撒烏耳家同達味家戰爭期間,阿貝乃爾獲得操縱撒烏耳家的權柄。
7 Zvino Sauro aiva nomukadzi womurongo ainzi Rizipa mwanasikana waAiya. Uye Ishi-Bhosheti akati kuna Abhineri, “Wakararirei nomurongo wababa vangu?”
撒烏耳有一妾名叫黎茲帕,是阿雅的女兒,阿貝乃爾娶了她;依市巴耳對阿貝乃爾說:「你為什麼親近我父親的妾﹖」
8 Abhineri akatsamwa zvikuru nezvakanga zvataurwa naIshi-Bhosheti ndokupindura achiti, “Ko, ndiri musoro wembwa kurutivi rwaJudha here? Nhasi uno ndakatendeka, kuimba yababa vako Sauro nokumhuri yake zvose neshamwari dzake. Handina kukuisa mumaoko aDhavhidhi. Kunyange zvakadaro iye zvino unondipomera mhaka pamusoro pomukadzi uyu!
為了依市巴耳這句話,阿貝乃爾勃然大怒說:「莫非我是猶大的狗頭﹖直到今天我憐恤你父親撒烏耳,和他的兄弟以及他的朋友,沒有使你落在達味手裏;你今天竟為了一個女人挑我的錯!
9 Mwari ngaarove Abhineri, zvive zvinorwadza kwazvo, kana ndikasaitira Dhavhidhi izvo zvaakapikirwa naJehovha
若我今後不依照上主對達味所誓許的去行:
10 nokubvisa umambo muimba yaSauro ndichisimbisa chigaro choushe chaDhavhidhi pamusoro peIsraeri neJudha kubva paDhani kusvikira kuBheerishebha.”
廢除撒烏耳家的王位,建立達味的寶座,使他由丹直到貝爾舍巴,統治全以色列和猶大,願天主如此,並加倍地懲罰我! 」
11 Ishi-Bhosheti haana kuzomboti bufuzve kuna Abhineri, nokuti akanga ava kumutya.
依市巴耳因為怕阿貝乃爾,連一句話也不敢回答。
12 Ipapo Abhineri akatumira nhume kuna Dhavhidhi kuti dzindopa mashoko ake okuti, “Ko, nyika ino ndeyani? Itai sungano neni, uye ini ndichakubatsirai kuti Israeri yose iuye kwamuri.”
阿貝乃爾立即派使者到赫貝龍見達味說:「這地是誰的﹖」是說:「只要你與我訂立盟約,我必伸手援助你,使全以色列都歸順你。」
13 Dhavhidhi akati, “Zvakanaka, ndichaita sungano newe. Asi ndinoda chinhu chimwe chete kubva kwauri: Usasvika pamberi pangu kunze kwokunge wauya naMikari mwanasikana waSauro paunouya kuzondiona.”
達味答說:「好! 我願與你訂立盟約,但是,我要求你一個條件:就是你來見我時,若不把撒烏耳的女兒米加耳帶來,你休想見我。」
14 Ipapo Dhavhidhi akatuma nhume kuna Ishi-Bhosheti mwanakomana waSauro, kundoti, “Ndipe Mikari mudzimai wangu, wandakatsidzirana naye nezvikanda zvokudzingiswa zvapamberi zvavaFiristia vane zana.”
隨後,達味就派使者到撒烏耳的兒子依市巴耳那裏說:「請把我的妻米加耳歸還給我,她是我以一百培肋特舍人的包皮聘定的。」
15 Naizvozvo Ishi-Bhosheti akatuma nhume kundomutora kumurume wake Paritieri mwanakomana waRaishi.
依市巴耳就派人,從拉依士的兒子帕耳提耳,她丈夫那裏把她帶來。
16 Zvisinei, murume wake akamuperekedza, achichema ari mumashure make dakara vanosvika kuBhahurimi. Ipapo Abhineri akati kwaari, “Dzokera kumba!” iye ndokudzokera hake.
她的丈夫與她同行,一邊走一邊哭,送她到了巴胡凌。阿貝乃爾向他說:「你回去罷! 」他就回去了。
17 Abhineri akakurukura navakuru veIsraeri akati, “Pava nenguva muchida kugadza Dhavhidhi kuti ave mambo wenyu.
阿貝乃爾同以色列的長老商議說:「你們早已渴望達味作你們的君王。
18 Saka chizviitai iye zvino! Nokuti Jehovha akavimbisa Dhavhidhi achiti, ‘Noruoko rwomuranda wangu Dhavhidhi ndichanunura vanhu vangu Israeri kubva muruoko rwavavengi vavo vose.’”
現在你們就進行罷! 因為上主曾論及達味說:我要藉我的僕人達味,從培肋舍特人及一切仇敵手中,拯救我的百姓以色列。」
19 Abhineri akataura navaBhenjamini pachake. Ipapo akabva akaenda kundoudza Dhavhidhi paHebhuroni zvose zvakanga zvichida kuzoitwa navaIsraeri neimba yose yaBhenjamini.
阿貝乃爾也遊說了本雅明人;以後阿貝乃爾去赫貝龍見達味,向他報告以色列和本雅明全家共同贊成的事。
20 Zvino Abhineri, uyo akanga ana varume makumi maviri, akati asvika kuna Dhavhidhi paHebhuroni, Dhavhidhi akamugadzirira mabiko pamwe chete navarume vaaiva navo.
阿貝乃爾遂率領二十人去赫貝龍見達味。達味設宴款待了阿貝乃爾和他的隨員。
21 Ipapo Abhineri akati kuna Dhavhidhi, “Nditenderei kuti ndiende iye zvino ndinounganidzira ishe wangu mambo Israeri yose, kuti vaite sungano nemi, uye kuti mubate ushe pamusoro pezvose zvinodiwa nomwoyo wenyu.” Saka Dhavhidhi akaendesa Abhineri, iye akaenda norugare.
阿貝乃爾向達味說:「我要動身去號召全以色列,來擁護我主大王,使他們與你立約:這樣你能依照你的心願來統治一切。」事後,達味放阿貝乃爾平安走了。
22 Panguva iyoyo varanda vaDhavhidhi naJoabhu vakadzoka kubva kundopamba uye vakauya nezvakawanda zvavakanga vapamba. Asi Abhineri akanga achisiri pamwe naDhavhidhi muHebhuroni, nokuti Dhavhidhi akanga amutendera kuenda, uye akanga aenda norugare.
達味的臣僕和約阿布出征回來,帶回了很多戰利品。那時,阿貝乃爾已不在赫貝龍達味那裏了,因為達味放他平安走了。
23 Joabhu paakasvika navarwi vose vaaiva navo, akaudzwa kuti Abhineri mwanakomana waNeri akanga auya kuna mambo uye kuti mambo akanga amutendera kuti aende, uye akanga aenda norugare.
約阿布和他率領的軍隊一來到,就有人告訴他說:「乃爾的兒子阿貝乃爾曾來到君王前,君王放他平安走了。」
24 Naizvozvo Joabhu akaenda kuna mambo akati, “Ko, chii chamaita? Tarirai, Abhineri akauya kwamuri. Ko, makaregerei achienda? Zvino atoenda zvake!
約阿布就去見君王說:「你作的是什麼事﹖阿貝乃爾到你這裏來,你為什麼放他平安走了﹖
25 Munomuziva imi Abhuneri mwanakomana waNeri; anga auya kuzokunyengerai uye kuzoongorora mafambiro enyu nokusora zvose zvamuri kuita.”
你豈不認識乃爾的兒子阿貝乃爾﹖他來是為欺騙你,願探聽你的出入,知道你的一切行動。」
26 Ipapo Joabhu akabva pana Dhavhidhi ndokutumira nhume kuti dzitevere Abhineri, uye vakadzoka naye kubva patsime reSira. Asi Dhavhidhi haana kuzviziva.
約阿布離開達味就打發差役去追趕阿貝乃爾。他們從息辣的旱井旁,把他帶回來,。達味一點也不知道。
27 Kuzoti Abhineri adzoka paHebhuroni, Joabhu akamutora akaenda naye parutivi, pakati pesuo sokunge aida kutaura naye muchivande. Zvino ipapo, kuti atsive ropa raAsaheri mununʼuna wake, Joabhu akamubaya padumbu, ndokubva afa.
阿貝乃爾一回到赫貝龍,約阿布就領他到大門旁,彷彿要與他暗地交談,就在那裏一刀剌穿了他的肚腹,他立即死了;這樣替他兄弟阿撒耳報了血仇。
28 Shure kwokunge Dhavhidhi anzwa nezvazvo, akati, “Ini noushe hwangu hatina mhosva nokusingaperi pamberi paJehovha pamusoro peropa raAbhuneri mwanakomana waNeri.
事後,達味一聽說這事,就說:「我和我的國家,對乃爾的兒子阿貝乃爾的血案,在上主面前,永遠是無罪的!
29 Ropa rake ngarive pamusoro waJoabhu nepaimba yababa vake yose! Imba yaJoabhu ngairege kushaya munhu ane ronda risingapori, kana ana maperembudzi, kana anofamba nomudonzvo, kana anourayiwa nomunondo, kana anoshayiwa zvokudya.”
願這罪歸在約阿布的頭上和他父的全家! 願約阿布家中不斷有患淋症,長癩病,只會紡線,喪身刀下和缺糧的人! 」
30 (Joabhu nomununʼuna wake Abhishai vakaponda Abhineri nokuti akanga auraya Asaheri mununʼuna wavo muhondo paGibheoni.)
約阿布和他的兄弟阿彼瑟暗殺了阿貝乃爾,是因為他在基貝紅打仗時,殺死了他們的兄弟阿撒耳。
31 Ipapo Dhavhidhi akati kuna Joabhu navanhu vose vaiva naye, “Bvarurai nguo dzenyu mupfeke masaga mufambe muchiungudza pamberi paAbhineri.” Mambo Dhavhidhi pachake akafamba ari shure kwengoro yaiva nechitunha.
達味向約阿布和同他在一起的民眾說:「要撕裂你們的衣服,穿上喪服,為阿貝乃爾舉哀! 」達味王也跟在靈柩後送葬。
32 Vakaviga Abhineri paHebhuroni, uye mambo akaridza mhere paguva raAbhineri. Vanhu vose vakachemawo.
他們在赫貝龍埋葬了阿貝乃爾;君王在阿貝乃爾墓旁放聲大哭,民眾也都哭了。
33 Mambo akaimba rwiyo urwu rwokuchema Abhineri: “Ko, Abhineri aifanira kufa nomufiro webenzi here?
君王作哀歌弔阿貝乃爾說:「阿貝乃爾豈應像傻瓜一樣死去﹖
34 Maoko ako akanga asina kusungwa, makumbo ako akanga asina kuiswa mumatare. Wakafa sokufa kwomunhu anofira pamberi pavanyangadzi.” Uye vanhu vose vakamuchemazve.
你的手並未束拷,你的腳也沒帶鐐,怎麼你斃命,竟如兇犯斃命一樣! 」為此民眾更加痛哭。
35 Ipapo vose vakauya vakagombedzera Dhavhidhi kuti awane chaangadya achiri masikati; asi Dhavhidhi akaita mhiko, achiti, “Mwari ngaandirove, uye zvakanyanyisa, kana ndikaravira chingwa kana chimwe chinhu zuva risati ravira!”
隨後,眾人前來勸君王進食,那時還是白天,達味卻發誓說:「若我在日落前進食,或嘗什麼東西,願天主如此,並加倍地懲罰我!」
36 Vanhu vose vakazviona uye vakafara; zvirokwazvo, chose chakaitwa namambo chakavafadza.
眾人見到此事,都心悅誠服,因為凡君王所行的,無不叫眾人心悅誠服。
37 Naizvozvo musi uyu vanhu vose neIsraeri yose, vakaziva kuti mambo akanga asingatenderani nokuurayiwa kwaAbhineri mwanakomana waNeri.
如此,眾人和全以色列當天都知道,殺乃爾的兒子阿貝乃爾,不是出於君王的命令。
38 Ipapo mambo akati kuvaranda vake, “Hamuzivi here kuti nhasi kwafa jinda uye munhu anokosha muIsraeri?
達味向他的臣僕說:「你們不知道今天在以色列喪失了一位將領和偉人嗎﹖
39 Uye kuti nhasi, kunyange ndiri mambo akazodzwa, handina simba, uye vanakomana vaZeruya ava vava nesimba kupfuura ini. Jehovha ngaaripire munyangadzi zvinoenderana nokuipa kwamabasa ake!”
我今天雖是傅油的君王,仍年幼無力,責魯雅的兒子們又比我剛強;願上主依照人所行的邪惡,來施行報復! 」
