撒母耳記上

第21章

1 大衛到了挪伯祭司亞希米勒那裏,亞希米勒戰戰兢兢地出來迎接他,問他說:「你為甚麼獨自來,沒有人跟隨呢?」

2 大衛回答祭司亞希米勒說:「王吩咐我一件事說:『我差遣你委託你的這件事,不要使人知道。』故此我已派定少年人在某處等候我。

3 現在你手下有甚麼?求你給我五個餅或是別樣的食物。」

4 祭司回答[answered]大衛說:「我手下沒有尋常的餅,只有聖餅;若少年人至少[at least]沒有親近婦人才可以給。」

5 大衛回答[answered]祭司說:「實在約有三日我們沒有親近婦人,我出來的時候,雖是尋常行路,少年人的器皿還是潔淨的,何況今日不更是潔淨嗎?」

6 祭司就拿聖餅給他;因為在那裏沒有別樣餅,只有更換新餅,從耶和華面前撤下來的陳設餅。

7 當日有掃羅的一個臣子留在耶和華面前。他名叫多益,是以東人,作掃羅的司牧長。

8 大衛問亞希米勒說:「你手下有槍有刀沒有?因為王的事甚急,連刀劍器械我都沒有帶。」

9 祭司說:「看哪[behold],你在以拉谷殺非利士人歌利亞的那刀在這裏,裹在布中,放在以弗得後邊,你要就可以拿去;除此以外,再沒有別的。」大衛說:「這刀沒有可比的。求你給我。」

10 那日大衛起來,因懼怕就[for fear]躲避掃羅,逃到迦特王亞吉那裏。

11 亞吉的臣僕對亞吉說:「這不是以色列國王大衛嗎?那裏的婦女跳舞唱和,不是指著他說『掃羅殺死數千[thousands],大衛殺死數萬[ten thousands]』嗎?」

12 大衛將這些[these]話放在心裏,甚懼怕迦特王亞吉,

13 就在眾人面前改變了尋常的舉動,在他們手下假裝瘋癲,在城門的門扇上胡寫亂畫,使唾沫流在鬍子上。

14 亞吉對臣僕說:「你們看,這人是瘋子。為甚麼帶他到我這裏來呢?

15 我豈缺少瘋子,你們帶這人來在我面前瘋癲嗎?這人豈可進我的家呢?」

Chapter 21

1 Then came935 David1732 to Nob5011 to Ahimelech288 the priest:3548 and Ahimelech288 was afraid2729 at the meeting7125 of David,1732 and said559 to him, Why4069 are you alone,905 and no369 man376 with you?

2 And David1732 said559 to Ahimelech288 the priest,3548 The king4428 has commanded6680 me a business,1697 and has said559 to me, Let no408 man376 know3045 any3972 thing1697 of the business1697 about which834 I send7971 you, and what834 I have commanded6680 you: and I have appointed3045 my servants5288 to such492 and such492 a place.4725

3 Now therefore what4100 is under8478 your hand?3027 give5414 me five2568 loaves of bread3899 in my hand,3027 or176 what there is present.4672

4 And the priest3548 answered6030 David,1732 and said,559 There is no369 common2455 bread3899 under8478 my hand,3027 but there is hallowed6944 bread;3899 if518 the young5288 men have kept8104 themselves at389 least389 from women.802

5 And David1732 answered6030 the priest,3548 and said559 to him, Of a truth3588 518 women802 have been kept6113 from us about these three8032 days,8543 since I came3318 out, and the vessels3627 of the young5288 men are holy,6944 and the bread is in a manner1870 common,2455 yes,637 though3588 it were sanctified6942 this day3117 in the vessel.3627

6 So the priest3548 gave5414 him hallowed6944 bread: for there was no3808 bread3899 there8033 but the show bread,3899 6440 that was taken5493 from before6440 the LORD,3068 to put7760 hot2527 bread3899 in the day3117 when it was taken3947 away.

7 Now a certain man376 of the servants5650 of Saul7586 was there that day,3117 detained6113 before6440 the LORD;3068 and his name8034 was Doeg,1673 an Edomite,130 the most chief47 of the herdsmen7462 that belonged to Saul.7586

8 And David1732 said559 to Ahimelech,288 And is there not here6311 under8478 your hand3027 spear2595 or176 sword?2719 for I have neither1571 3808 brought3947 my sword2719 nor1571 my weapons3627 with me, because3588 the king's4428 business1697 required1961 haste.5169

9 And the priest3548 said,559 The sword2719 of Goliath1555 the Philistine,6430 whom834 you slew5221 in the valley6010 of Elah,425 behold,2009 it is here wrapped3874 in a cloth8071 behind310 the ephod:646 if518 you will take3947 that, take3947 it: for there is no369 other312 save2108 that here.2088 And David1732 said,559 There is none369 like that; give5414 it me.

10 And David1732 arose 6965and fled1272 that day3117 for fear6440 of Saul,7586 and went935 to Achish397 the king4428 of Gath.1661

11 And the servants5650 of Achish397 said559 to him, Is not this2088 David1732 the king4428 of the land?776 did they not sing6030 one to another of him in dances,4246 saying,559 Saul7586 has slain5221 his thousands,505 and David1732 his ten7233 thousands?7233

12 And David1732 laid7760 up these428 words1697 in his heart,3824 and was sore3966 afraid3372 of Achish397 the king4428 of Gath.1661

13 And he changed8138 his behavior2940 before5869 them, and feigned himself mad1984 in their hands,3027 and scrabbled8427 on5921 the doors1817 of the gate,8179 and let his spittle7388 fall3381 down3381 on his beard.2206

14 Then said559 Achish397 to his servants,5650 See,2009 you see7200 the man376 is mad:7696 why4100 then have you brought935 him to me?

15 Have I need2638 of mad7696 men, that you have brought935 this2088 fellow to play the mad7696 man in my presence?5921 shall this2088 fellow come935 into413 my house?1004

1 大衛到了挪伯祭司亞希米勒那裏,亞希米勒戰戰兢兢地出來迎接他,問他說:「你為甚麼獨自來,沒有人跟隨呢?」

3 Now therefore what4100 is under8478 your hand?3027 give5414 me five2568 loaves of bread3899 in my hand,3027 or176 what there is present.4672

9 祭司說:「看哪[behold],你在以拉谷殺非利士人歌利亞的那刀在這裏,裹在布中,放在以弗得後邊,你要就可以拿去;除此以外,再沒有別的。」大衛說:「這刀沒有可比的。求你給我。」

9 And the priest3548 said,559 The sword2719 of Goliath1555 the Philistine,6430 whom834 you slew5221 in the valley6010 of Elah,425 behold,2009 it is here wrapped3874 in a cloth8071 behind310 the ephod:646 if518 you will take3947 that, take3947 it: for there is no369 other312 save2108 that here.2088 And David1732 said,559 There is none369 like that; give5414 it me.

10 那日大衛起來,因懼怕就[for fear]躲避掃羅,逃到迦特王亞吉那裏。

10 And David1732 arose 6965and fled1272 that day3117 for fear6440 of Saul,7586 and went935 to Achish397 the king4428 of Gath.1661

11 亞吉的臣僕對亞吉說:「這不是以色列國王大衛嗎?那裏的婦女跳舞唱和,不是指著他說『掃羅殺死數千[thousands],大衛殺死數萬[ten thousands]』嗎?」

11 And the servants5650 of Achish397 said559 to him, Is not this2088 David1732 the king4428 of the land?776 did they not sing6030 one to another of him in dances,4246 saying,559 Saul7586 has slain5221 his thousands,505 and David1732 his ten7233 thousands?7233

12 大衛將這些[these]話放在心裏,甚懼怕迦特王亞吉,

12 And David1732 laid7760 up these428 words1697 in his heart,3824 and was sore3966 afraid3372 of Achish397 the king4428 of Gath.1661

13 就在眾人面前改變了尋常的舉動,在他們手下假裝瘋癲,在城門的門扇上胡寫亂畫,使唾沫流在鬍子上。

13 And he changed8138 his behavior2940 before5869 them, and feigned himself mad1984 in their hands,3027 and scrabbled8427 on5921 the doors1817 of the gate,8179 and let his spittle7388 fall3381 down3381 on his beard.2206

14 亞吉對臣僕說:「你們看,這人是瘋子。為甚麼帶他到我這裏來呢?

14 Then said559 Achish397 to his servants,5650 See,2009 you see7200 the man376 is mad:7696 why4100 then have you brought935 him to me?

15 我豈缺少瘋子,你們帶這人來在我面前瘋癲嗎?這人豈可進我的家呢?」

15 Have I need2638 of mad7696 men, that you have brought935 this2088 fellow to play the mad7696 man in my presence?5921 shall this2088 fellow come935 into413 my house?1004
