撒母耳記上

第12章

1 撒母耳告以色列族曰,汝凡所請,我無不允,爲爾立王,

2 我今年邁,首已皓然,我予與爾雜處,所治爾者,惟此人也。我自幼迄今,治理爾曹,

3 何嘗奪人之牛驢,何嘗虐取人,挾制人,受人之賄賂以蔽我明,有一於此,我卽償之,我在此於耶和華前,及受膏者前,彼得爲證。

4 僉曰,爾未嘗虐取我,挾制我,未嘗奪人物。

5 曰,今日耶和華及受膏者爲證,汝之所有,未得於我手。僉曰,俱爲證。

6 撒母耳告民曰,昔挺生摩西亞倫導爾祖出埃及之耶和華爲證。

7 汝今侍立於耶和華前,我將告爾,耶和華以恩賚於爾祖,爰及爾曹。

8 昔雅各族至埃及,爾祖呼龥耶和華,耶和華遣摩西亞倫導出埃及,賜居斯土,

9 民旣忘其上帝耶和華,耶和華付之於夏朔軍長西西喇,又付於非利士人摩押王,使與戰鬪。

10 民龥耶和華曰,我棄耶和華,諸巴力亞大綠,以干罪戾,今可拯我於敵,我仍事爾,

11 耶和華遣耶路巴力,比但,耶弗大,及我,援爾於四方之敵,俾爾安居。

12 爾見亞捫王拿轄攻爾,爾則請我,爲爾立王,不知爾上帝耶和華爲爾之王。

13 爾旣欣羨乎王,耶和華爲爾立之,今己得焉。

14 如爾畏耶和華,聽從其命,不背其道,則治爾之王,爰及爾曹,俱蒙爾上帝耶和華錫嘏。

15 如所命勿遵,其道不從,則耶和華必降災於爾,與降災於爾祖無異。

16 爾姑侍此,耶和華大有施行,俾爾目擊。

17 今値麥秋,我呼龥耶和華,彼將使雷震雨降,令爾知爾欲立王,已干大戾於耶和華前。

18 撒母耳遂龥耶和華,是日雷震雨降,民甚畏耶和華,亦懼撒母耳,

19 告撒母耳曰,昔蹈罪愆者屢矣,今欲立王,愈形不善,故代我祈爾之上帝耶和華,免我死亡。

20 撒母耳曰,毋畏、汝雖嘗行是惡,今而後勿違耶和華,必盡心以服事之。

21 如違耶和華,從事虛妄,無所禆益,無能援手。

22 耶和華旣歡然以爾爲民,必不汝遐棄,以尊崇己名。

23 我爲爾祈禱,無時或忘,否則犯罪於耶和華。又必以善道真理指示於爾。

24 汝當念耶和華,緣爾之故,大展作爲,故必敬畏,盡心誠意以奉之。

25 若爾行惡,則爾之王,爰及爾曹,俱必滅亡。

1 Samuel

Chapter 12

1 And Samuel8050 said559 to all3605 Israel,3478 Behold,2009 I have listened8085 to your voice6963 in all3605 that you said559 to me, and have made a king4428 over5921 you.

2 And now,6258 behold,2009 the king4428 walks1980 before6440 you: and I am old2204 and gray headed;7867 and, behold,2009 my sons1121 are with you: and I have walked1980 before6440 you from my childhood5271 to this2088 day.3117

3 Behold,2009 here I am: witness6030 against me before5048 the LORD,3068 and before5048 his anointed:4899 whose4310 ox7794 have I taken?3947 or whose4310 ass2543 have I taken?3947 or whom4310 have I defrauded?6231 whom have I oppressed?7533 or of whose4310 hand3027 have I received3947 any bribe3724 to blind5956 my eyes5869 therewith? and I will restore7725 it you.

4 And they said,559 You have not defrauded6231 us, nor3808 oppressed7533 us, neither3808 have you taken3947 ought3972 of any man's376 hand.3027

5 And he said559 to them, The LORD3068 is witness5707 against you, and his anointed4899 is witness5707 this2088 day,3117 that you have not found4672 ought3972 in my hand.3027 And they answered,559 He is witness.5707

6 And Samuel8050 said559 to the people,5971 It is the LORD3068 that advanced6213 Moses4872 and Aaron,175 and that brought5927 your fathers1 up out of the land776 of Egypt.4714

7 Now6258 therefore stand3320 still, that I may reason8199 with you before6440 the LORD3068 of all3605 the righteous6666 acts of the LORD,3068 which834 he did6213 to you and to your fathers.1

8 When834 Jacob3290 was come935 into Egypt,4714 and your fathers1 cried2199 to the LORD,3068 then the LORD3068 sent7971 Moses4872 and Aaron,175 which brought3318 forth3318 your fathers1 out of Egypt,4714 and made them dwell3427 in this2088 place.4725

9 And when they forgot7911 the LORD3068 their God,430 he sold4376 them into the hand3027 of Sisera,5516 captain8269 of the host6635 of Hazor,2674 and into the hand3027 of the Philistines,6430 and into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Moab,4124 and they fought3898 against them.

10 And they cried2199 to the LORD,3068 and said,559 We have sinned,2398 because3588 we have forsaken5800 the LORD,3068 and have served5647 Baalim1168 and Ashtaroth:6252 but now6258 deliver5337 us out of the hand3027 of our enemies,341 and we will serve5647 you.

11 And the LORD3068 sent7971 Jerubbaal,3378 and Bedan,917 and Jephthah,3316 and Samuel,8050 and delivered5337 you out of the hand3027 of your enemies341 on every5437 side,5439 and you dwelled3427 safe.983

12 And when you saw7200 that Nahash5176 the king4428 of the children1121 of Ammon5983 came935 against5921 you, you said559 to me, No;3808 but a king4428 shall reign4427 over5921 us: when the LORD3068 your God430 was your king.4428

13 Now6258 therefore behold2009 the king4428 whom4310 you have chosen,977 and whom4310 you have desired!7592 and, behold,2009 the LORD3068 has set5414 a king4428 over5921 you.

14 If518 you will fear3372 the LORD,3068 and serve5647 him, and obey8085 his voice,6963 and not rebel4784 against the commandment6310 of the LORD,3068 then shall both1571 you and also1571 the king4428 that reigns4427 over5921 you continue1961 following310 the LORD3068 your God:430

15 But if518 you will not obey8085 the voice6963 of the LORD,3068 but rebel4784 against the commandment6310 of the LORD,3068 then shall the hand3027 of the LORD3068 be against you, as it was against your fathers.1

16 Now6258 therefore1571 stand3320 and see7200 this2088 great1419 thing,1697 which834 the LORD3068 will do6213 before your eyes.5869

17 Is it not wheat2406 harvest7105 to day?3117 I will call7121 to the LORD,3068 and he shall send5414 thunder6963 and rain;4306 that you may perceive3045 and see7200 that your wickedness7451 is great,7227 which834 you have done6213 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 in asking7592 you a king.4428

18 So Samuel8050 called7121 to the LORD;3068 and the LORD3068 sent5414 thunder6963 and rain4306 that day:3117 and all3605 the people5971 greatly3966 feared3372 the LORD3068 and Samuel.8050

19 And all3605 the people5971 said559 to Samuel,8050 Pray6419 for your servants5650 to the LORD3068 your God,430 that we die4191 not: for we have added3254 to all3605 our sins2403 this evil,7451 to ask7592 us a king.4428

20 And Samuel8050 said559 to the people,5971 Fear3372 not: you have done6213 all3605 this2063 wickedness:7451 yet389 turn5493 not aside from following310 the LORD,3068 but serve5647 the LORD3068 with all3605 your heart;3824

21 And turn5493 you not aside: for then should you go after310 vain8414 things, which834 cannot3308 profit3276 nor3808 deliver;5337 for they are vain.8414

22 For the LORD3068 will not forsake5203 his people5971 for his great1419 name's8034 sake:5668 because3588 it has pleased2974 the LORD3068 to make6213 you his people.5971

23 Moreover1571 as for me, God forbid2486 that I should sin2398 against the LORD3068 in ceasing2308 to pray6419 for you: but I will teach3384 you the good2896 and the right3477 way:1870

24 Only389 fear3372 the LORD,3068 and serve5647 him in truth571 with all3605 your heart:3824 for consider7200 how834 great1431 things he has done for you.

25 But if518 you shall still do wickedly,7489 you shall be consumed,5595 both1571 you and your king.4428

Chapter 12

1 撒母耳告以色列族曰,汝凡所請,我無不允,爲爾立王,

1 And Samuel8050 said559 to all3605 Israel,3478 Behold,2009 I have listened8085 to your voice6963 in all3605 that you said559 to me, and have made a king4428 over5921 you.

2 我今年邁,首已皓然,我予與爾雜處,所治爾者,惟此人也。我自幼迄今,治理爾曹,

2 And now,6258 behold,2009 the king4428 walks1980 before6440 you: and I am old2204 and gray headed;7867 and, behold,2009 my sons1121 are with you: and I have walked1980 before6440 you from my childhood5271 to this2088 day.3117

3 何嘗奪人之牛驢,何嘗虐取人,挾制人,受人之賄賂以蔽我明,有一於此,我卽償之,我在此於耶和華前,及受膏者前,彼得爲證。

3 Behold,2009 here I am: witness6030 against me before5048 the LORD,3068 and before5048 his anointed:4899 whose4310 ox7794 have I taken?3947 or whose4310 ass2543 have I taken?3947 or whom4310 have I defrauded?6231 whom have I oppressed?7533 or of whose4310 hand3027 have I received3947 any bribe3724 to blind5956 my eyes5869 therewith? and I will restore7725 it you.

4 僉曰,爾未嘗虐取我,挾制我,未嘗奪人物。

4 And they said,559 You have not defrauded6231 us, nor3808 oppressed7533 us, neither3808 have you taken3947 ought3972 of any man's376 hand.3027

5 曰,今日耶和華及受膏者爲證,汝之所有,未得於我手。僉曰,俱爲證。

5 And he said559 to them, The LORD3068 is witness5707 against you, and his anointed4899 is witness5707 this2088 day,3117 that you have not found4672 ought3972 in my hand.3027 And they answered,559 He is witness.5707

6 撒母耳告民曰,昔挺生摩西亞倫導爾祖出埃及之耶和華爲證。

6 And Samuel8050 said559 to the people,5971 It is the LORD3068 that advanced6213 Moses4872 and Aaron,175 and that brought5927 your fathers1 up out of the land776 of Egypt.4714

7 汝今侍立於耶和華前,我將告爾,耶和華以恩賚於爾祖,爰及爾曹。

7 Now6258 therefore stand3320 still, that I may reason8199 with you before6440 the LORD3068 of all3605 the righteous6666 acts of the LORD,3068 which834 he did6213 to you and to your fathers.1

8 昔雅各族至埃及,爾祖呼龥耶和華,耶和華遣摩西亞倫導出埃及,賜居斯土,

8 When834 Jacob3290 was come935 into Egypt,4714 and your fathers1 cried2199 to the LORD,3068 then the LORD3068 sent7971 Moses4872 and Aaron,175 which brought3318 forth3318 your fathers1 out of Egypt,4714 and made them dwell3427 in this2088 place.4725

9 民旣忘其上帝耶和華,耶和華付之於夏朔軍長西西喇,又付於非利士人摩押王,使與戰鬪。

9 And when they forgot7911 the LORD3068 their God,430 he sold4376 them into the hand3027 of Sisera,5516 captain8269 of the host6635 of Hazor,2674 and into the hand3027 of the Philistines,6430 and into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Moab,4124 and they fought3898 against them.

10 民龥耶和華曰,我棄耶和華,諸巴力亞大綠,以干罪戾,今可拯我於敵,我仍事爾,

10 And they cried2199 to the LORD,3068 and said,559 We have sinned,2398 because3588 we have forsaken5800 the LORD,3068 and have served5647 Baalim1168 and Ashtaroth:6252 but now6258 deliver5337 us out of the hand3027 of our enemies,341 and we will serve5647 you.

11 耶和華遣耶路巴力,比但,耶弗大,及我,援爾於四方之敵,俾爾安居。

11 And the LORD3068 sent7971 Jerubbaal,3378 and Bedan,917 and Jephthah,3316 and Samuel,8050 and delivered5337 you out of the hand3027 of your enemies341 on every5437 side,5439 and you dwelled3427 safe.983

12 爾見亞捫王拿轄攻爾,爾則請我,爲爾立王,不知爾上帝耶和華爲爾之王。

12 And when you saw7200 that Nahash5176 the king4428 of the children1121 of Ammon5983 came935 against5921 you, you said559 to me, No;3808 but a king4428 shall reign4427 over5921 us: when the LORD3068 your God430 was your king.4428

13 爾旣欣羨乎王,耶和華爲爾立之,今己得焉。

13 Now6258 therefore behold2009 the king4428 whom4310 you have chosen,977 and whom4310 you have desired!7592 and, behold,2009 the LORD3068 has set5414 a king4428 over5921 you.

14 如爾畏耶和華,聽從其命,不背其道,則治爾之王,爰及爾曹,俱蒙爾上帝耶和華錫嘏。

14 If518 you will fear3372 the LORD,3068 and serve5647 him, and obey8085 his voice,6963 and not rebel4784 against the commandment6310 of the LORD,3068 then shall both1571 you and also1571 the king4428 that reigns4427 over5921 you continue1961 following310 the LORD3068 your God:430

15 如所命勿遵,其道不從,則耶和華必降災於爾,與降災於爾祖無異。

15 But if518 you will not obey8085 the voice6963 of the LORD,3068 but rebel4784 against the commandment6310 of the LORD,3068 then shall the hand3027 of the LORD3068 be against you, as it was against your fathers.1

16 爾姑侍此,耶和華大有施行,俾爾目擊。

16 Now6258 therefore1571 stand3320 and see7200 this2088 great1419 thing,1697 which834 the LORD3068 will do6213 before your eyes.5869

17 今値麥秋,我呼龥耶和華,彼將使雷震雨降,令爾知爾欲立王,已干大戾於耶和華前。

17 Is it not wheat2406 harvest7105 to day?3117 I will call7121 to the LORD,3068 and he shall send5414 thunder6963 and rain;4306 that you may perceive3045 and see7200 that your wickedness7451 is great,7227 which834 you have done6213 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 in asking7592 you a king.4428

18 撒母耳遂龥耶和華,是日雷震雨降,民甚畏耶和華,亦懼撒母耳,

18 So Samuel8050 called7121 to the LORD;3068 and the LORD3068 sent5414 thunder6963 and rain4306 that day:3117 and all3605 the people5971 greatly3966 feared3372 the LORD3068 and Samuel.8050

19 告撒母耳曰,昔蹈罪愆者屢矣,今欲立王,愈形不善,故代我祈爾之上帝耶和華,免我死亡。

19 And all3605 the people5971 said559 to Samuel,8050 Pray6419 for your servants5650 to the LORD3068 your God,430 that we die4191 not: for we have added3254 to all3605 our sins2403 this evil,7451 to ask7592 us a king.4428

20 撒母耳曰,毋畏、汝雖嘗行是惡,今而後勿違耶和華,必盡心以服事之。

20 And Samuel8050 said559 to the people,5971 Fear3372 not: you have done6213 all3605 this2063 wickedness:7451 yet389 turn5493 not aside from following310 the LORD,3068 but serve5647 the LORD3068 with all3605 your heart;3824

21 如違耶和華,從事虛妄,無所禆益,無能援手。

21 And turn5493 you not aside: for then should you go after310 vain8414 things, which834 cannot3308 profit3276 nor3808 deliver;5337 for they are vain.8414

22 耶和華旣歡然以爾爲民,必不汝遐棄,以尊崇己名。

22 For the LORD3068 will not forsake5203 his people5971 for his great1419 name's8034 sake:5668 because3588 it has pleased2974 the LORD3068 to make6213 you his people.5971

23 我爲爾祈禱,無時或忘,否則犯罪於耶和華。又必以善道真理指示於爾。

23 Moreover1571 as for me, God forbid2486 that I should sin2398 against the LORD3068 in ceasing2308 to pray6419 for you: but I will teach3384 you the good2896 and the right3477 way:1870

24 汝當念耶和華,緣爾之故,大展作爲,故必敬畏,盡心誠意以奉之。

24 Only389 fear3372 the LORD,3068 and serve5647 him in truth571 with all3605 your heart:3824 for consider7200 how834 great1431 things he has done for you.

25 若爾行惡,則爾之王,爰及爾曹,俱必滅亡。

25 But if518 you shall still do wickedly,7489 you shall be consumed,5595 both1571 you and your king.4428
