2 Samuel

Chapter 16

1 And when David1732 was a little4592 past5674 the top7218 of the hill, behold,2009 Ziba6717 the servant5288 of Mephibosheth4648 met7122 him, with a couple6776 of asses2543 saddled,2280 and on them two hundred3967 loaves of bread,3899 and an hundred3967 bunches6778 of raisins,6778 and an hundred3967 of summer7019 fruits, and a bottle5035 of wine.3196

2 And the king4428 said559 to Ziba,6717 What4100 mean you by these?428 And Ziba6717 said,559 The asses2543 be for the king's4428 household1004 to ride7392 on; and the bread3899 and summer7019 fruit for the young5288 men to eat;398 and the wine,3196 that such as be faint3287 in the wilderness4057 may drink.8354

3 And the king4428 said,559 And where346 is your master's113 son?1121 And Ziba6717 said559 to the king,4428 Behold,2009 he stays3427 at Jerusalem:3389 for he said,559 To day3117 shall the house1004 of Israel3478 restore7725 me the kingdom4468 of my father.1

4 Then said559 the king4428 to Ziba,6717 Behold,2009 your are all3605 that pertained to Mephibosheth.4648 And Ziba6717 said,559 I humbly7812 beseech you that I may find4672 grace2580 in your sight,5869 my lord,113 O king.4428

5 And when king4428 David1732 came935 to Bahurim,980 behold,2009 there8033 came3318 out a man376 of the family4940 of the house1004 of Saul,7586 whose name8034 was Shimei,8096 the son1121 of Gera:1617 he came3318 forth,3318 and cursed7043 still as he came.3318

6 And he cast5619 stones68 at David,1732 and at all3605 the servants5650 of king4428 David:1732 and all3605 the people5971 and all3605 the mighty1368 men were on his right3225 hand3225 and on his left.8040

7 And thus3541 said559 Shimei8096 when he cursed,7043 Come3318 out, come3318 out, you bloody1818 man,376 and you man376 of Belial:1100

8 The LORD3068 has returned7725 on you all3605 the blood1818 of the house1004 of Saul,7586 in whose834 stead8478 you have reigned;4427 and the LORD3068 has delivered5414 the kingdom4410 into the hand3027 of Absalom53 your son:1121 and, behold,2009 you are taken in your mischief,7451 because3588 you are a bloody1818 man.376

9 Then said559 Abishai52 the son1121 of Zeruiah6870 to the king,4428 Why4100 should this2088 dead4191 dog3611 curse7043 my lord113 the king?4428 let me go5674 over,5674 I pray4994 you, and take5493 off his head.7218

10 And the king4428 said,559 What4100 have I to do with you, you sons1121 of Zeruiah?6870 so3588 let him curse,7043 because3588 the LORD3068 has said559 to him, Curse7043 David.1732 Who4310 shall then say,559 Why4069 have you done6213 so?3651

11 And David1732 said559 to Abishai,52 and to all3605 his servants,5650 Behold,2009 my son,1121 which834 came3318 forth3318 of my bowels,4578 seeks1245 my life:5315 how637 much637 more now6258 may this Benjamite1145 do it? let3240 him alone, and let3240 him curse;7043 for the LORD3068 has bidden559 him.

12 It may be that the LORD3068 will look7200 on my affliction,5869 and that the LORD3068 will requite7725 me good2896 for his cursing7045 this2088 day.3117

13 And as David1732 and his men582 went3212 by the way,1870 Shimei8096 went1980 along on the hill's2022 side6763 over5980 against5980 him, and cursed7043 as he went,1980 and threw5619 stones68 at5980 him, and cast6080 dust.6083

14 And the king,4428 and all3605 the people5971 that were with him, came935 weary,5889 and refreshed5314 themselves there.8033

15 And Absalom,53 and all3605 the people5971 the men376 of Israel,3478 came935 to Jerusalem,3389 and Ahithophel302 with him.

16 And it came1961 to pass, when834 Hushai2365 the Archite,757 David's1732 friend,7463 was come935 to Absalom,53 that Hushai2365 said559 to Absalom,53 God save2421 the king,4428 God save2421 the king.4428

17 And Absalom53 said559 to Hushai,2365 Is this2088 your kindness2617 to your friend?7453 why4100 went1980 you not with your friend?7453

18 And Hushai2365 said559 to Absalom,53 No;3808 but whom834 the LORD,3068 and this2088 people,5971 and all3605 the men376 of Israel,3478 choose,977 his will I be, and with him will I abide.3427

19 And again,8145 whom4310 should I serve?5647 should I not serve5647 in the presence6440 of his son?1121 as I have served5647 in your father's1 presence,6440 so3651 will I be in your presence.6440

20 Then said559 Absalom53 to Ahithophel,302 Give3051 counsel6098 among you what4100 we shall do.6213

21 And Ahithophel302 said559 to Absalom,53 Go935 in to your father's1 concubines,6370 which834 he has left5117 to keep8104 the house;1004 and all3605 Israel3478 shall hear8085 that you are abhorred887 of your father:1 then shall the hands3027 of all3605 that are with you be strong.2388

22 So they spread5186 Absalom53 a tent168 on the top1406 of the house;1004 and Absalom53 went935 in to his father's1 concubines6370 in the sight5869 of all3605 Israel.3478

23 And the counsel6098 of Ahithophel,302 which834 he counceled3289 in those1992 days,3117 was as if a man376 had inquired7592 at the oracle1697 of God:430 so3651 was all3605 the counsel6098 of Ahithophel302 both1571 with David1732 and with Absalom.53

撒母耳記下

第16章

1 大衛剛過山頂,見米非.波設的僕人洗巴拉著備好了的兩匹驢,驢上馱著二百麵餅,一百葡萄餅,一百個夏天的果餅,一皮袋酒來迎接他。

2 王問洗巴說:「你帶這些來是甚麼意思呢?」洗巴說:「驢是給王的家眷騎的;麵餅和夏天的果餅是給少年人吃的;酒是給在曠野疲乏人喝的。」

3 王問說:「你主人的兒子在哪裏呢?」洗巴[unto]王說:「看哪[Behold],他仍在耶路撒冷,因他說:『以色列[house]今日必將我父的國歸還我。』」

4 王對洗巴說:「看哪[Behold],凡屬米非.波設的都歸你了。」洗巴說:「我懇求[humbly beseech]我主我王,願我在你眼前蒙恩。」

5 大衛王到了巴戶琳,見有一個人出來,是掃羅族基拉的兒子,名叫示每。他一面走一面咒罵,

6 又拿石頭砍大衛王和王的臣僕;眾民和勇士都在王的左右。

7 示每咒罵說:「你這流人血的彼列之子[man of Belial]啊,去吧去吧。

8 你流掃羅全家的血,接續他作王;耶和華把這罪歸在你身上,耶和華[LORD]將這國交給你兒子押沙龍。現在你自取其禍,因為你是流人血的人。」

9 洗魯雅的兒子亞比篩對王說:「這死狗豈可咒罵我主我王呢?求你容我過去,割下他的頭來。」

10 王說:「洗魯雅的兒子,我與你們有何關涉呢?由他咒罵吧[let him curse],因耶和華曾對[hath said unto]他說:『你要咒罵大衛。』如此,誰敢說你為甚麼這樣行呢?」

11 大衛又對亞比篩和他的[his]眾臣僕說:「看哪[Behold],我親生的兒子尚且尋索我的性命。何況這便雅憫人呢?由他咒罵吧;因為這是耶和華吩咐他的。

12 或者耶和華見我遭難,為我今日被這人咒駡,耶和華[LORD]就施恩與我。」

13 於是大衛和跟隨他的人往前行走。示每在大衛對面山坡,一面行走一面咒罵,又拿石頭砍他,拿土揚他。

14 王和跟隨他的眾人疲疲乏乏地到了一個地方,就在那裏歇息歇息。

15 押沙龍和以色列眾人來到耶路撒冷;亞希多弗也與他同來。

16 大衛的朋友亞基人戶篩去見押沙龍,對他說:「願神庇佑我王[God save the king]願神庇佑我王[God save the king]。」

17 押沙龍問戶篩說:「這是你恩待朋友嗎?為甚麼不與你的朋友同去呢?」

18 戶篩對押沙龍說:「不然,耶和華和這民,並以色列眾人所揀選的,我必歸順他,與他同住。

19 再者,我當服事誰呢?我豈不當服事[should I not serve]前王的兒子嗎?我怎樣服事你父親,也必照樣服事你。」

20 押沙龍對亞希多弗說:「你們出個主意,我們怎樣行才好?」

21 亞希多弗對押沙龍說:「你父所留下看守宮殿的妃嬪,你可以與她們親近。以色列眾人聽見你父親憎惡你,凡歸順你人的手就更堅強。」

22 於是人為押沙龍在宮殿的平頂上支搭帳棚;押沙龍在以色列眾人眼前,與他父的妃嬪親近。

23 當那些日子[In those days],亞希多弗所出的主意好像人問神的話一樣;他昔日給大衛,今日給押沙龍所出的主意,都是這樣。

第16章

1 And when David1732 was a little4592 past5674 the top7218 of the hill, behold,2009 Ziba6717 the servant5288 of Mephibosheth4648 met7122 him, with a couple6776 of asses2543 saddled,2280 and on them two hundred3967 loaves of bread,3899 and an hundred3967 bunches6778 of raisins,6778 and an hundred3967 of summer7019 fruits, and a bottle5035 of wine.3196

1 大衛剛過山頂,見米非.波設的僕人洗巴拉著備好了的兩匹驢,驢上馱著二百麵餅,一百葡萄餅,一百個夏天的果餅,一皮袋酒來迎接他。

2 And the king4428 said559 to Ziba,6717 What4100 mean you by these?428 And Ziba6717 said,559 The asses2543 be for the king's4428 household1004 to ride7392 on; and the bread3899 and summer7019 fruit for the young5288 men to eat;398 and the wine,3196 that such as be faint3287 in the wilderness4057 may drink.8354

2 王問洗巴說:「你帶這些來是甚麼意思呢?」洗巴說:「驢是給王的家眷騎的;麵餅和夏天的果餅是給少年人吃的;酒是給在曠野疲乏人喝的。」

3 And the king4428 said,559 And where346 is your master's113 son?1121 And Ziba6717 said559 to the king,4428 Behold,2009 he stays3427 at Jerusalem:3389 for he said,559 To day3117 shall the house1004 of Israel3478 restore7725 me the kingdom4468 of my father.1

3 王問說:「你主人的兒子在哪裏呢?」洗巴[unto]王說:「看哪[Behold],他仍在耶路撒冷,因他說:『以色列[house]今日必將我父的國歸還我。』」

4 Then said559 the king4428 to Ziba,6717 Behold,2009 your are all3605 that pertained to Mephibosheth.4648 And Ziba6717 said,559 I humbly7812 beseech you that I may find4672 grace2580 in your sight,5869 my lord,113 O king.4428

4 王對洗巴說:「看哪[Behold],凡屬米非.波設的都歸你了。」洗巴說:「我懇求[humbly beseech]我主我王,願我在你眼前蒙恩。」

5 And when king4428 David1732 came935 to Bahurim,980 behold,2009 there8033 came3318 out a man376 of the family4940 of the house1004 of Saul,7586 whose name8034 was Shimei,8096 the son1121 of Gera:1617 he came3318 forth,3318 and cursed7043 still as he came.3318

5 大衛王到了巴戶琳,見有一個人出來,是掃羅族基拉的兒子,名叫示每。他一面走一面咒罵,

6 And he cast5619 stones68 at David,1732 and at all3605 the servants5650 of king4428 David:1732 and all3605 the people5971 and all3605 the mighty1368 men were on his right3225 hand3225 and on his left.8040

6 又拿石頭砍大衛王和王的臣僕;眾民和勇士都在王的左右。

7 And thus3541 said559 Shimei8096 when he cursed,7043 Come3318 out, come3318 out, you bloody1818 man,376 and you man376 of Belial:1100

7 示每咒罵說:「你這流人血的彼列之子[man of Belial]啊,去吧去吧。

8 The LORD3068 has returned7725 on you all3605 the blood1818 of the house1004 of Saul,7586 in whose834 stead8478 you have reigned;4427 and the LORD3068 has delivered5414 the kingdom4410 into the hand3027 of Absalom53 your son:1121 and, behold,2009 you are taken in your mischief,7451 because3588 you are a bloody1818 man.376

8 你流掃羅全家的血,接續他作王;耶和華把這罪歸在你身上,耶和華[LORD]將這國交給你兒子押沙龍。現在你自取其禍,因為你是流人血的人。」

9 Then said559 Abishai52 the son1121 of Zeruiah6870 to the king,4428 Why4100 should this2088 dead4191 dog3611 curse7043 my lord113 the king?4428 let me go5674 over,5674 I pray4994 you, and take5493 off his head.7218

9 洗魯雅的兒子亞比篩對王說:「這死狗豈可咒罵我主我王呢?求你容我過去,割下他的頭來。」

10 And the king4428 said,559 What4100 have I to do with you, you sons1121 of Zeruiah?6870 so3588 let him curse,7043 because3588 the LORD3068 has said559 to him, Curse7043 David.1732 Who4310 shall then say,559 Why4069 have you done6213 so?3651

10 王說:「洗魯雅的兒子,我與你們有何關涉呢?由他咒罵吧[let him curse],因耶和華曾對[hath said unto]他說:『你要咒罵大衛。』如此,誰敢說你為甚麼這樣行呢?」

11 And David1732 said559 to Abishai,52 and to all3605 his servants,5650 Behold,2009 my son,1121 which834 came3318 forth3318 of my bowels,4578 seeks1245 my life:5315 how637 much637 more now6258 may this Benjamite1145 do it? let3240 him alone, and let3240 him curse;7043 for the LORD3068 has bidden559 him.

11 大衛又對亞比篩和他的[his]眾臣僕說:「看哪[Behold],我親生的兒子尚且尋索我的性命。何況這便雅憫人呢?由他咒罵吧;因為這是耶和華吩咐他的。

12 It may be that the LORD3068 will look7200 on my affliction,5869 and that the LORD3068 will requite7725 me good2896 for his cursing7045 this2088 day.3117

12 或者耶和華見我遭難,為我今日被這人咒駡,耶和華[LORD]就施恩與我。」

13 And as David1732 and his men582 went3212 by the way,1870 Shimei8096 went1980 along on the hill's2022 side6763 over5980 against5980 him, and cursed7043 as he went,1980 and threw5619 stones68 at5980 him, and cast6080 dust.6083

13 於是大衛和跟隨他的人往前行走。示每在大衛對面山坡,一面行走一面咒罵,又拿石頭砍他,拿土揚他。

14 And the king,4428 and all3605 the people5971 that were with him, came935 weary,5889 and refreshed5314 themselves there.8033

14 王和跟隨他的眾人疲疲乏乏地到了一個地方,就在那裏歇息歇息。

15 And Absalom,53 and all3605 the people5971 the men376 of Israel,3478 came935 to Jerusalem,3389 and Ahithophel302 with him.

15 押沙龍和以色列眾人來到耶路撒冷;亞希多弗也與他同來。

16 And it came1961 to pass, when834 Hushai2365 the Archite,757 David's1732 friend,7463 was come935 to Absalom,53 that Hushai2365 said559 to Absalom,53 God save2421 the king,4428 God save2421 the king.4428

16 大衛的朋友亞基人戶篩去見押沙龍,對他說:「願神庇佑我王[God save the king]願神庇佑我王[God save the king]。」

17 And Absalom53 said559 to Hushai,2365 Is this2088 your kindness2617 to your friend?7453 why4100 went1980 you not with your friend?7453

17 押沙龍問戶篩說:「這是你恩待朋友嗎?為甚麼不與你的朋友同去呢?」

18 And Hushai2365 said559 to Absalom,53 No;3808 but whom834 the LORD,3068 and this2088 people,5971 and all3605 the men376 of Israel,3478 choose,977 his will I be, and with him will I abide.3427

18 戶篩對押沙龍說:「不然,耶和華和這民,並以色列眾人所揀選的,我必歸順他,與他同住。

19 And again,8145 whom4310 should I serve?5647 should I not serve5647 in the presence6440 of his son?1121 as I have served5647 in your father's1 presence,6440 so3651 will I be in your presence.6440

19 再者,我當服事誰呢?我豈不當服事[should I not serve]前王的兒子嗎?我怎樣服事你父親,也必照樣服事你。」

20 Then said559 Absalom53 to Ahithophel,302 Give3051 counsel6098 among you what4100 we shall do.6213

20 押沙龍對亞希多弗說:「你們出個主意,我們怎樣行才好?」

21 And Ahithophel302 said559 to Absalom,53 Go935 in to your father's1 concubines,6370 which834 he has left5117 to keep8104 the house;1004 and all3605 Israel3478 shall hear8085 that you are abhorred887 of your father:1 then shall the hands3027 of all3605 that are with you be strong.2388

21 亞希多弗對押沙龍說:「你父所留下看守宮殿的妃嬪,你可以與她們親近。以色列眾人聽見你父親憎惡你,凡歸順你人的手就更堅強。」

22 So they spread5186 Absalom53 a tent168 on the top1406 of the house;1004 and Absalom53 went935 in to his father's1 concubines6370 in the sight5869 of all3605 Israel.3478

22 於是人為押沙龍在宮殿的平頂上支搭帳棚;押沙龍在以色列眾人眼前,與他父的妃嬪親近。

23 And the counsel6098 of Ahithophel,302 which834 he counceled3289 in those1992 days,3117 was as if a man376 had inquired7592 at the oracle1697 of God:430 so3651 was all3605 the counsel6098 of Ahithophel302 both1571 with David1732 and with Absalom.53

23 當那些日子[In those days],亞希多弗所出的主意好像人問神的話一樣;他昔日給大衛,今日給押沙龍所出的主意,都是這樣。
