撒母耳記下

第1章

1 掃羅死後,大衛擊殺亞瑪力人回來,在洗革拉住了兩天。

2 第三天,[behold]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 大衛問他說:「你從哪裏來?」他說:「我從以色列的營裏逃來。」

4 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 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 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 他回頭看見我,就呼叫我。我說:『我在這裏。』

8 他問我說:『你是甚麼人?』我說:『我是亞瑪力人。』

9 他說:『請你來,將我殺死;因為痛苦抓住我,我的生命尚存。』

10 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 大衛就撕裂衣服,跟隨他的人也是如此,

12 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 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 大衛說:「你伸手殺害耶和華的受膏者,怎麼不畏懼呢?」

15 大衛叫了一個少年人來,說:「你去殺他吧。」

16 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 大衛作哀歌,弔掃羅和他兒子約拿單,

18 (且吩咐將這歌教導猶大人。這歌名叫「弓歌」,[behold]寫在雅煞珥書上。)

19 歌中說,以色列啊,你的美榮者[beauty of]你高處[thy high places]被殺;大英雄何竟死亡。

20 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 基利波山哪,願你們[Ye]那裏沒有雨露,願你們[You]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 約拿單的弓箭非流被殺者[slain]的血不退縮;掃羅的刀劍非剖勇士的油不收回。

23 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 以色列的女子啊,妳們[Ye]當為掃羅哭號。他曾使妳們穿朱紅色的美衣,使你們衣服有黃金的妝飾。

25 英雄何竟在陣上仆倒。約拿單[O][thou]何竟在你高處[thine high places]被殺。

26 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 英雄何竟仆倒。戰具何竟滅沒。

2 Samuel

Chapter 1

1 Now it came to pass1961 after310 the death4194 of Saul,7586 when David1732 was returned7725 from the slaughter4480 5221 of853 the Amalekites,6002 and David1732 had abode3427 two8147 days3117 in Ziklag;6860

2 It came even to pass1961 on the third7992 day,3117 that, behold,2009 a man376 came935 out of4480 the camp4264 from4480 5973 Saul7586 with his clothes899 rent,7167 and earth127 upon5921 his head:7218 and so it was,1961 when he came935 to413 David,1732 that he fell5307 to the earth,776 and did obeisance.7812

3 And David1732 said559 unto him, From whence335 4480 2088 comest935 thou? And he said559 unto413 him, Out of the camp4480 4264 of Israel3478 am I escaped.4422

4 And David1732 said559 unto413 him, How4100 went1961 the matter?1697 I pray thee,4994 tell5046 me. And he answered,559 That834 the people5971 are fled5127 from4480 the battle,4421 and many7235 of4480 the people5971 also1571 are fallen5307 and dead;4191 and Saul7586 and Jonathan3083 his son1121 are dead4191 also.1571

5 And David1732 said559 unto413 the young man5288 that told5046 him, How349 knowest3045 thou that3588 Saul7586 and Jonathan3083 his son1121 be dead?4191

6 And the young man5288 that told5046 him said,559 As I happened7136 by chance7122 upon mount2022 Gilboa,1533 behold,2009 Saul7586 leaned8172 upon5921 his spear;2595 and, lo,2009 the chariots7393 and horsemen1167 6571 followed hard1692 after him.

7 And when he looked6437 behind310 him, he saw7200 me, and called7121 unto413 me. And I answered,559 Here2009 am I.

8 And he said559 unto me, Who4310 art thou?859 And I answered559 him,413 I595 am an Amalekite.6003

9 He said559 unto413 me again, Stand,5975 I pray thee,4994 upon5921 me, and slay4191 me: for3588 anguish7661 is come270 upon me, because3588 my life5315 is yet5750 whole3605 in me.

10 So I stood5975 upon5921 him, and slew4191 him, because3588 I was sure3045 that3588 he could not3808 live2421 after that310 he was fallen:5307 and I took3947 the crown5145 that834 was upon5921 his head,7218 and the bracelet685 that834 was on5921 his arm,2220 and have brought935 them hither2008 unto413 my lord.113

11 Then David1732 took hold2388 on his clothes,899 and rent7167 them; and likewise1571 all3605 the men376 that834 were with854 him:

12 And they mourned,5594 and wept,1058 and fasted6684 until5704 even,6153 for5921 Saul,7586 and for5921 Jonathan3083 his son,1121 and for5921 the people5971 of the LORD,3068 and for5921 the house1004 of Israel;3478 because3588 they were fallen5307 by the sword.2719

13 And David1732 said559 unto413 the young man5288 that told5046 him, Whence335 4480 4100 art thou?859 And he answered,559 I595 am the son1121 of a stranger,376 1616 an Amalekite.6003

14 And David1732 said559 unto413 him, How349 wast thou not3808 afraid3372 to stretch forth7971 thine hand3027 to destroy7843 853 the LORD's3068 anointed?4899

15 And David1732 called7121 one259 of the young men,4480 5288 and said,559 Go near,5066 and fall6293 upon him. And he smote5221 him that he died.4191

16 And David1732 said559 unto413 him, Thy blood1818 be upon5921 thy head;7218 for3588 thy mouth6310 hath testified6030 against thee, saying,559 I595 have slain4191 853 the LORD's3068 anointed.4899

17 And David1732 lamented6969 with854 this2063 lamentation7015 over5921 Saul7586 and over5921 Jonathan3083 his son: 1121

18 (Also he bade559 them teach3925 the children1121 of Judah3063 the use of the bow:7198 behold,2009 it is written3789 in5921 the book5612 of Jasher.)3477

19 The beauty6643 of Israel3478 is slain2491 upon5921 thy high places:1116 how349 are the mighty1368 fallen!5307

20 Tell5046 it not408 in Gath,1661 publish1319 it not408 in the streets2351 of Askelon;831 lest6435 the daughters1323 of the Philistines6430 rejoice,8055 lest6435 the daughters1323 of the uncircumcised6189 triumph.5937

21 Ye mountains2022 of Gilboa,1533 let there be no408 dew,2919 neither408 let there be rain,4306 upon5921 you, nor fields7704 of offerings:8641 for3588 there8033 the shield4043 of the mighty1368 is vilely cast away,1602 the shield4043 of Saul,7586 as though he had not1097 been anointed4886 with oil.8081

22 From the blood4480 1818 of the slain,2491 from the fat4480 2459 of the mighty,1368 the bow7198 of Jonathan3083 turned7734 not3808 back,268 and the sword2719 of Saul7586 returned7725 not3808 empty.7387

23 Saul7586 and Jonathan3083 were lovely157 and pleasant5273 in their lives,2416 and in their death4194 they were not3808 divided:6504 they were swifter7043 than eagles,4480 5404 they were stronger1396 than lions.4480 738

24 Ye daughters1323 of Israel,3478 weep1058 over413 Saul,7586 who clothed3847 you in scarlet,8144 with5973 other delights,5730 who put on5927 ornaments5716 of gold2091 upon5921 your apparel.3830

25 How349 are the mighty1368 fallen5307 in the midst8432 of the battle!4421 O Jonathan,3083 thou wast slain2491 in5921 thine high places.1116

26 I am distressed6887 for5921 thee, my brother251 Jonathan:3083 very3966 pleasant5276 hast thou been unto me: thy love160 to me was wonderful,6381 passing the love4480 160 of women.802

27 How349 are the mighty1368 fallen,5307 and the weapons3627 of war4421 perished!6

Chapter 1

1 掃羅死後,大衛擊殺亞瑪力人回來,在洗革拉住了兩天。

1 Now it came to pass1961 after310 the death4194 of Saul,7586 when David1732 was returned7725 from the slaughter4480 5221 of853 the Amalekites,6002 and David1732 had abode3427 two8147 days3117 in Ziklag;6860

2 第三天,[behold]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。

2 It came even to pass1961 on the third7992 day,3117 that, behold,2009 a man376 came935 out of4480 the camp4264 from4480 5973 Saul7586 with his clothes899 rent,7167 and earth127 upon5921 his head:7218 and so it was,1961 when he came935 to413 David,1732 that he fell5307 to the earth,776 and did obeisance.7812

3 大衛問他說:「你從哪裏來?」他說:「我從以色列的營裏逃來。」

3 And David1732 said559 unto him, From whence335 4480 2088 comest935 thou? And he said559 unto413 him, Out of the camp4480 4264 of Israel3478 am I escaped.4422

4 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。」

4 And David1732 said559 unto413 him, How4100 went1961 the matter?1697 I pray thee,4994 tell5046 me. And he answered,559 That834 the people5971 are fled5127 from4480 the battle,4421 and many7235 of4480 the people5971 also1571 are fallen5307 and dead;4191 and Saul7586 and Jonathan3083 his son1121 are dead4191 also.1571

5 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?」

5 And David1732 said559 unto413 the young man5288 that told5046 him, How349 knowest3045 thou that3588 Saul7586 and Jonathan3083 his son1121 be dead?4191

6 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。

6 And the young man5288 that told5046 him said,559 As I happened7136 by chance7122 upon mount2022 Gilboa,1533 behold,2009 Saul7586 leaned8172 upon5921 his spear;2595 and, lo,2009 the chariots7393 and horsemen1167 6571 followed hard1692 after him.

7 他回頭看見我,就呼叫我。我說:『我在這裏。』

7 And when he looked6437 behind310 him, he saw7200 me, and called7121 unto413 me. And I answered,559 Here2009 am I.

8 他問我說:『你是甚麼人?』我說:『我是亞瑪力人。』

8 And he said559 unto me, Who4310 art thou?859 And I answered559 him,413 I595 am an Amalekite.6003

9 他說:『請你來,將我殺死;因為痛苦抓住我,我的生命尚存。』

9 He said559 unto413 me again, Stand,5975 I pray thee,4994 upon5921 me, and slay4191 me: for3588 anguish7661 is come270 upon me, because3588 my life5315 is yet5750 whole3605 in me.

10 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。」

10 So I stood5975 upon5921 him, and slew4191 him, because3588 I was sure3045 that3588 he could not3808 live2421 after that310 he was fallen:5307 and I took3947 the crown5145 that834 was upon5921 his head,7218 and the bracelet685 that834 was on5921 his arm,2220 and have brought935 them hither2008 unto413 my lord.113

11 大衛就撕裂衣服,跟隨他的人也是如此,

11 Then David1732 took hold2388 on his clothes,899 and rent7167 them; and likewise1571 all3605 the men376 that834 were with854 him:

12 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。

12 And they mourned,5594 and wept,1058 and fasted6684 until5704 even,6153 for5921 Saul,7586 and for5921 Jonathan3083 his son,1121 and for5921 the people5971 of the LORD,3068 and for5921 the house1004 of Israel;3478 because3588 they were fallen5307 by the sword.2719

13 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。」

13 And David1732 said559 unto413 the young man5288 that told5046 him, Whence335 4480 4100 art thou?859 And he answered,559 I595 am the son1121 of a stranger,376 1616 an Amalekite.6003

14 大衛說:「你伸手殺害耶和華的受膏者,怎麼不畏懼呢?」

14 And David1732 said559 unto413 him, How349 wast thou not3808 afraid3372 to stretch forth7971 thine hand3027 to destroy7843 853 the LORD's3068 anointed?4899

15 大衛叫了一個少年人來,說:「你去殺他吧。」

15 And David1732 called7121 one259 of the young men,4480 5288 and said,559 Go near,5066 and fall6293 upon him. And he smote5221 him that he died.4191

16 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。

16 And David1732 said559 unto413 him, Thy blood1818 be upon5921 thy head;7218 for3588 thy mouth6310 hath testified6030 against thee, saying,559 I595 have slain4191 853 the LORD's3068 anointed.4899

17 大衛作哀歌,弔掃羅和他兒子約拿單,

17 And David1732 lamented6969 with854 this2063 lamentation7015 over5921 Saul7586 and over5921 Jonathan3083 his son: 1121

18 (且吩咐將這歌教導猶大人。這歌名叫「弓歌」,[behold]寫在雅煞珥書上。)

18 (Also he bade559 them teach3925 the children1121 of Judah3063 the use of the bow:7198 behold,2009 it is written3789 in5921 the book5612 of Jasher.)3477

19 歌中說,以色列啊,你的美榮者[beauty of]你高處[thy high places]被殺;大英雄何竟死亡。

19 The beauty6643 of Israel3478 is slain2491 upon5921 thy high places:1116 how349 are the mighty1368 fallen!5307

20 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。

20 Tell5046 it not408 in Gath,1661 publish1319 it not408 in the streets2351 of Askelon;831 lest6435 the daughters1323 of the Philistines6430 rejoice,8055 lest6435 the daughters1323 of the uncircumcised6189 triumph.5937

21 基利波山哪,願你們[Ye]那裏沒有雨露,願你們[You]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。

21 Ye mountains2022 of Gilboa,1533 let there be no408 dew,2919 neither408 let there be rain,4306 upon5921 you, nor fields7704 of offerings:8641 for3588 there8033 the shield4043 of the mighty1368 is vilely cast away,1602 the shield4043 of Saul,7586 as though he had not1097 been anointed4886 with oil.8081

22 約拿單的弓箭非流被殺者[slain]的血不退縮;掃羅的刀劍非剖勇士的油不收回。

22 From the blood4480 1818 of the slain,2491 from the fat4480 2459 of the mighty,1368 the bow7198 of Jonathan3083 turned7734 not3808 back,268 and the sword2719 of Saul7586 returned7725 not3808 empty.7387

23 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。

23 Saul7586 and Jonathan3083 were lovely157 and pleasant5273 in their lives,2416 and in their death4194 they were not3808 divided:6504 they were swifter7043 than eagles,4480 5404 they were stronger1396 than lions.4480 738

24 以色列的女子啊,妳們[Ye]當為掃羅哭號。他曾使妳們穿朱紅色的美衣,使你們衣服有黃金的妝飾。

24 Ye daughters1323 of Israel,3478 weep1058 over413 Saul,7586 who clothed3847 you in scarlet,8144 with5973 other delights,5730 who put on5927 ornaments5716 of gold2091 upon5921 your apparel.3830

25 英雄何竟在陣上仆倒。約拿單[O][thou]何竟在你高處[thine high places]被殺。

25 How349 are the mighty1368 fallen5307 in the midst8432 of the battle!4421 O Jonathan,3083 thou wast slain2491 in5921 thine high places.1116

26 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。

26 I am distressed6887 for5921 thee, my brother251 Jonathan:3083 very3966 pleasant5276 hast thou been unto me: thy love160 to me was wonderful,6381 passing the love4480 160 of women.802

27 英雄何竟仆倒。戰具何竟滅沒。

27 How349 are the mighty1368 fallen,5307 and the weapons3627 of war4421 perished!6
