撒母耳記上

第16章

1 耶和華對撒母耳說:「我既厭棄掃羅作以色列的王,你為他悲傷要到幾時呢?你將膏油盛滿了角,我差遣你往伯.利恆人耶西那裏去;因為我在他眾子之內,預定一個作王的。」

2 撒母耳說:「我怎能去呢?掃羅若聽見,必要殺我。」耶和華說:「你可以帶一隻母牛犢[heifer]去,就說:『我來是要向耶和華獻祭。』

3 你要請耶西來赴祭筵[to the sacrifice],我就指示你所當行的事;我所指給你的人,你要膏他。」

4 撒母耳就照耶和華的話去行。到了伯.利恆,那城裏的長老都戰戰兢兢地出來迎接他,問他說:「你是為平安來的嗎?」

5 他說:「為平安來的;我[come]是給耶和華獻祭;你們當自潔,來與我一同赴祭筵[come with me to the sacrifice]。」撒母耳就使耶西和他眾子自潔,請他們來赴祭筵[sacrifice]

6 他們來的時候,撒母耳看見以利押,就心裏說,耶和華的受膏者必定在他面前。

7 耶和華卻對撒母耳說:「不要看他的外貌和他身材高大,我不揀選他。因為,耶和華不像人看人:人是看外貌;耶和華是看內心。」

8 耶西叫亞比拿達從撒母耳面前經過,撒母耳說:「耶和華也不揀選他。」

9 耶西又叫沙瑪從撒母耳面前經過,撒母耳說:「耶和華也不揀選他。」

10 耶西叫他七個兒子都從撒母耳面前經過,撒母耳說:「這都不是耶和華所揀選的。」

11 撒母耳對耶西說:「你的兒子都在這裏嗎?」他回答說:「還有個小的,現在放羊。」撒母耳對耶西說:你打發人去叫他來;他若不來,我們必不坐席。

12 耶西就打發人去叫了他來。他面色光紅,容貌俊美[beautiful countenance]甚是好看[goodly to look to]。耶和華說:「這就是他,你起來膏他。」

13 撒母耳就用角裏的膏油,在他諸兄中膏了他。從這日起,耶和華的[Spirit]感動[came upon]大衛。撒母耳起身回拉瑪去了。

14 耶和華的[Spirit]離開掃羅,有惡[spirit]從耶和華那裏來擾亂他。

15 掃羅的臣僕對他說:「你看[Behold],現在有惡[spirit]從神那裏來擾亂你。

16 我們的主可以吩咐面前的臣僕,找一個善於彈琴的來,等神那裏來的惡[spirit]臨到你身上的時候,使他用手彈琴,你就好了。」

17 掃羅對臣僕說:「你們可以為我找一個善於彈琴的,帶到我這裏來。」

18 其中有一個少年人說:「看哪[Behold],我曾見伯.利恆人耶西的一個兒子善於彈琴,是大有勇敢的戰士,辦事通達[prudent in matters],容貌俊美,耶和華也與他同在。」

19 於是掃羅差遣使者去見耶西,說:「請你打發你放羊的兒子大衛到我這裏來。」

20 耶西就把幾個餅和一皮袋酒,並一隻山羊羔,都馱在驢上,交給他兒子大衛,送與掃羅。

21 大衛到了掃羅那裏,就侍立在掃羅面前。掃羅甚喜愛他,他就作了掃羅拿盔甲[armourbearer]的人。

22 掃羅差遣人去見耶西,說:「求你容大衛侍立在我面前,因為他在我眼前蒙了恩。」

23 從神那裏來的惡[spirit]臨到掃羅身上的時候,大衛就拿琴,用手而彈,掃羅便舒暢爽快,惡[spirit]離了他。

1 Samuel

Chapter 16

1 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 Samuel,8050 How long5704 4100 wilt thou859 mourn56 for413 Saul,7586 seeing I589 have rejected3988 him from reigning4480 4427 over5921 Israel?3478 fill4390 thine horn7161 with oil,8081 and go,1980 I will send7971 thee to413 Jesse3448 the Bethlehemite:1022 for3588 I have provided7200 me a king4428 among his sons.1121

2 And Samuel8050 said,559 How349 can I go?1980 if Saul7586 hear8085 it, he will kill2026 me. And the LORD3068 said,559 Take3947 a heifer5697 1241 with3027 thee, and say,559 I am come935 to sacrifice2076 to the LORD.3068

3 And call7121 Jesse3448 to the sacrifice,2077 and I595 will show3045 thee853 what834 thou shalt do:6213 and thou shalt anoint4886 unto me him853 whom834 I name559 unto413 thee.

4 And Samuel8050 did6213 853 that which834 the LORD3068 spoke,1696 and came935 to Bethlehem.1035 And the elders2205 of the town5892 trembled2729 at his coming,7122 and said,559 Comest935 thou peaceably?7965

5 And he said,559 Peaceably:7965 I am come935 to sacrifice2076 unto the LORD:3068 sanctify yourselves,6942 and come935 with854 me to the sacrifice.2077 And he sanctified6942 853 Jesse3448 and his sons,1121 and called7121 them to the sacrifice.2077

6 And it came to pass,1961 when they were come,935 that he looked on7200 853 Eliab,446 and said,559 Surely389 the LORD's3068 anointed4899 is before5048 him.

7 But the LORD3068 said559 unto413 Samuel,8050 Look5027 not408 on413 his countenance,4758 or on413 the height1364 of his stature;6967 because3588 I have refused3988 him: for3588 the LORD seeth not3808 as834 man120 seeth;7200 for3588 man120 looketh7200 on the outward appearance,5869 but the LORD3068 looketh7200 on the heart.3824

8 Then Jesse3448 called7121 413 Abinadab,41 and made him pass5674 before6440 Samuel.8050 And he said,559 Neither1571 3808 hath the LORD3068 chosen977 this.2088

9 Then Jesse3448 made Shammah8048 to pass by.5674 And he said,559 Neither1571 3808 hath the LORD3068 chosen977 this.2088

10 Again, Jesse3448 made seven7651 of his sons1121 to pass5674 before6440 Samuel.8050 And Samuel8050 said559 unto413 Jesse,3448 The LORD3068 hath not3808 chosen977 these.428

11 And Samuel8050 said559 unto413 Jesse,3448 Are here all8552 thy children?5288 And he said,559 There remaineth7604 yet5750 the youngest,6996 and, behold,2009 he keepeth7462 the sheep.6629 And Samuel8050 said559 unto413 Jesse,3448 Send7971 and fetch3947 him: for3588 we will not3808 sit down5437 till5704 he come935 hither.6311

12 And he sent,7971 and brought935 him in. Now he1931 was ruddy,132 and withal5973 of a beautiful3303 countenance,5869 and goodly2896 to look to.7210 And the LORD3068 said,559 Arise,6965 anoint4886 him: for3588 this2088 is he.1931

13 Then Samuel8050 took3947 853 the horn7161 of oil,8081 and anointed4886 him in the midst7130 of his brethren:251 and the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 came6743 upon413 David1732 from that day4480 3117 1931 forward.4605 So Samuel8050 rose up,6965 and went1980 to Ramah.7414

14 But the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 departed5493 from4480 5973 Saul,7586 and an evil7451 spirit7307 from4480 854 the LORD3068 troubled1204 him.

15 And Saul's7586 servants5650 said559 unto413 him, Behold2009 now,4994 an evil7451 spirit7307 from God430 troubleth1204 thee.

16 Let our lord113 now4994 command559 thy servants,5650 which are before6440 thee, to seek out1245 a man,376 who is a cunning3045 player5059 on a harp:3658 and it shall come to pass,1961 when1961 the evil7451 spirit7307 from God430 is upon5921 thee, that he shall play5059 with his hand,3027 and thou shalt be well.2895

17 And Saul7586 said559 unto413 his servants,5650 Provide7200 me now4994 a man376 that can play5059 well,3190 and bring935 him to413 me.

18 Then answered6030 one259 of the servants,5288 and said,559 Behold,2009 I have seen7200 a son1121 of Jesse3448 the Bethlehemite,1022 that is cunning3045 in playing,5059 and a mighty1368 valiant man,2428 and a man376 of war,4421 and prudent995 in matters,1697 and a comely8389 person,376 and the LORD3068 is with5973 him.

19 Wherefore Saul7586 sent7971 messengers4397 unto413 Jesse,3448 and said,559 Send7971 me853 David1732 thy son,1121 which834 is with the sheep.6629

20 And Jesse3448 took3947 an ass2543 laden with bread,3899 and a bottle4997 of wine,3196 and a259 kid,1423 5795 and sent7971 them by3027 David1732 his son1121 unto413 Saul.7586

21 And David1732 came935 to413 Saul,7586 and stood5975 before6440 him: and he loved157 him greatly;3966 and he became1961 his armorbearer.3627 5375

22 And Saul7586 sent7971 to413 Jesse,3448 saying,559 Let David,1732 I pray thee,4994 stand5975 before6440 me; for3588 he hath found4672 favor2580 in my sight.5869

23 And it came to pass,1961 when1961 the evil spirit7307 from God430 was upon413 Saul,7586 that David1732 took3947 853 a harp,3658 and played5059 with his hand:3027 so Saul7586 was refreshed,7304 and was well,2895 and the evil7451 spirit7307 departed5493 from4480 5921 him.

第16章

1 Samuel

Chapter 16

1 耶和華對撒母耳說:「我既厭棄掃羅作以色列的王,你為他悲傷要到幾時呢?你將膏油盛滿了角,我差遣你往伯.利恆人耶西那裏去;因為我在他眾子之內,預定一個作王的。」

1 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 Samuel,8050 How long5704 4100 wilt thou859 mourn56 for413 Saul,7586 seeing I589 have rejected3988 him from reigning4480 4427 over5921 Israel?3478 fill4390 thine horn7161 with oil,8081 and go,1980 I will send7971 thee to413 Jesse3448 the Bethlehemite:1022 for3588 I have provided7200 me a king4428 among his sons.1121

2 撒母耳說:「我怎能去呢?掃羅若聽見,必要殺我。」耶和華說:「你可以帶一隻母牛犢[heifer]去,就說:『我來是要向耶和華獻祭。』

2 And Samuel8050 said,559 How349 can I go?1980 if Saul7586 hear8085 it, he will kill2026 me. And the LORD3068 said,559 Take3947 a heifer5697 1241 with3027 thee, and say,559 I am come935 to sacrifice2076 to the LORD.3068

3 你要請耶西來赴祭筵[to the sacrifice],我就指示你所當行的事;我所指給你的人,你要膏他。」

3 And call7121 Jesse3448 to the sacrifice,2077 and I595 will show3045 thee853 what834 thou shalt do:6213 and thou shalt anoint4886 unto me him853 whom834 I name559 unto413 thee.

4 撒母耳就照耶和華的話去行。到了伯.利恆,那城裏的長老都戰戰兢兢地出來迎接他,問他說:「你是為平安來的嗎?」

4 And Samuel8050 did6213 853 that which834 the LORD3068 spoke,1696 and came935 to Bethlehem.1035 And the elders2205 of the town5892 trembled2729 at his coming,7122 and said,559 Comest935 thou peaceably?7965

5 他說:「為平安來的;我[come]是給耶和華獻祭;你們當自潔,來與我一同赴祭筵[come with me to the sacrifice]。」撒母耳就使耶西和他眾子自潔,請他們來赴祭筵[sacrifice]

5 And he said,559 Peaceably:7965 I am come935 to sacrifice2076 unto the LORD:3068 sanctify yourselves,6942 and come935 with854 me to the sacrifice.2077 And he sanctified6942 853 Jesse3448 and his sons,1121 and called7121 them to the sacrifice.2077

6 他們來的時候,撒母耳看見以利押,就心裏說,耶和華的受膏者必定在他面前。

6 And it came to pass,1961 when they were come,935 that he looked on7200 853 Eliab,446 and said,559 Surely389 the LORD's3068 anointed4899 is before5048 him.

7 耶和華卻對撒母耳說:「不要看他的外貌和他身材高大,我不揀選他。因為,耶和華不像人看人:人是看外貌;耶和華是看內心。」

7 But the LORD3068 said559 unto413 Samuel,8050 Look5027 not408 on413 his countenance,4758 or on413 the height1364 of his stature;6967 because3588 I have refused3988 him: for3588 the LORD seeth not3808 as834 man120 seeth;7200 for3588 man120 looketh7200 on the outward appearance,5869 but the LORD3068 looketh7200 on the heart.3824

8 耶西叫亞比拿達從撒母耳面前經過,撒母耳說:「耶和華也不揀選他。」

8 Then Jesse3448 called7121 413 Abinadab,41 and made him pass5674 before6440 Samuel.8050 And he said,559 Neither1571 3808 hath the LORD3068 chosen977 this.2088

9 耶西又叫沙瑪從撒母耳面前經過,撒母耳說:「耶和華也不揀選他。」

9 Then Jesse3448 made Shammah8048 to pass by.5674 And he said,559 Neither1571 3808 hath the LORD3068 chosen977 this.2088

10 耶西叫他七個兒子都從撒母耳面前經過,撒母耳說:「這都不是耶和華所揀選的。」

10 Again, Jesse3448 made seven7651 of his sons1121 to pass5674 before6440 Samuel.8050 And Samuel8050 said559 unto413 Jesse,3448 The LORD3068 hath not3808 chosen977 these.428

11 撒母耳對耶西說:「你的兒子都在這裏嗎?」他回答說:「還有個小的,現在放羊。」撒母耳對耶西說:你打發人去叫他來;他若不來,我們必不坐席。

11 And Samuel8050 said559 unto413 Jesse,3448 Are here all8552 thy children?5288 And he said,559 There remaineth7604 yet5750 the youngest,6996 and, behold,2009 he keepeth7462 the sheep.6629 And Samuel8050 said559 unto413 Jesse,3448 Send7971 and fetch3947 him: for3588 we will not3808 sit down5437 till5704 he come935 hither.6311

12 耶西就打發人去叫了他來。他面色光紅,容貌俊美[beautiful countenance]甚是好看[goodly to look to]。耶和華說:「這就是他,你起來膏他。」

12 And he sent,7971 and brought935 him in. Now he1931 was ruddy,132 and withal5973 of a beautiful3303 countenance,5869 and goodly2896 to look to.7210 And the LORD3068 said,559 Arise,6965 anoint4886 him: for3588 this2088 is he.1931

13 撒母耳就用角裏的膏油,在他諸兄中膏了他。從這日起,耶和華的[Spirit]感動[came upon]大衛。撒母耳起身回拉瑪去了。

13 Then Samuel8050 took3947 853 the horn7161 of oil,8081 and anointed4886 him in the midst7130 of his brethren:251 and the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 came6743 upon413 David1732 from that day4480 3117 1931 forward.4605 So Samuel8050 rose up,6965 and went1980 to Ramah.7414

14 耶和華的[Spirit]離開掃羅,有惡[spirit]從耶和華那裏來擾亂他。

14 But the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 departed5493 from4480 5973 Saul,7586 and an evil7451 spirit7307 from4480 854 the LORD3068 troubled1204 him.

15 掃羅的臣僕對他說:「你看[Behold],現在有惡[spirit]從神那裏來擾亂你。

15 And Saul's7586 servants5650 said559 unto413 him, Behold2009 now,4994 an evil7451 spirit7307 from God430 troubleth1204 thee.

16 我們的主可以吩咐面前的臣僕,找一個善於彈琴的來,等神那裏來的惡[spirit]臨到你身上的時候,使他用手彈琴,你就好了。」

16 Let our lord113 now4994 command559 thy servants,5650 which are before6440 thee, to seek out1245 a man,376 who is a cunning3045 player5059 on a harp:3658 and it shall come to pass,1961 when1961 the evil7451 spirit7307 from God430 is upon5921 thee, that he shall play5059 with his hand,3027 and thou shalt be well.2895

17 掃羅對臣僕說:「你們可以為我找一個善於彈琴的,帶到我這裏來。」

17 And Saul7586 said559 unto413 his servants,5650 Provide7200 me now4994 a man376 that can play5059 well,3190 and bring935 him to413 me.

18 其中有一個少年人說:「看哪[Behold],我曾見伯.利恆人耶西的一個兒子善於彈琴,是大有勇敢的戰士,辦事通達[prudent in matters],容貌俊美,耶和華也與他同在。」

18 Then answered6030 one259 of the servants,5288 and said,559 Behold,2009 I have seen7200 a son1121 of Jesse3448 the Bethlehemite,1022 that is cunning3045 in playing,5059 and a mighty1368 valiant man,2428 and a man376 of war,4421 and prudent995 in matters,1697 and a comely8389 person,376 and the LORD3068 is with5973 him.

19 於是掃羅差遣使者去見耶西,說:「請你打發你放羊的兒子大衛到我這裏來。」

19 Wherefore Saul7586 sent7971 messengers4397 unto413 Jesse,3448 and said,559 Send7971 me853 David1732 thy son,1121 which834 is with the sheep.6629

20 耶西就把幾個餅和一皮袋酒,並一隻山羊羔,都馱在驢上,交給他兒子大衛,送與掃羅。

20 And Jesse3448 took3947 an ass2543 laden with bread,3899 and a bottle4997 of wine,3196 and a259 kid,1423 5795 and sent7971 them by3027 David1732 his son1121 unto413 Saul.7586

21 大衛到了掃羅那裏,就侍立在掃羅面前。掃羅甚喜愛他,他就作了掃羅拿盔甲[armourbearer]的人。

21 And David1732 came935 to413 Saul,7586 and stood5975 before6440 him: and he loved157 him greatly;3966 and he became1961 his armorbearer.3627 5375

22 掃羅差遣人去見耶西,說:「求你容大衛侍立在我面前,因為他在我眼前蒙了恩。」

22 And Saul7586 sent7971 to413 Jesse,3448 saying,559 Let David,1732 I pray thee,4994 stand5975 before6440 me; for3588 he hath found4672 favor2580 in my sight.5869

23 從神那裏來的惡[spirit]臨到掃羅身上的時候,大衛就拿琴,用手而彈,掃羅便舒暢爽快,惡[spirit]離了他。

23 And it came to pass,1961 when1961 the evil spirit7307 from God430 was upon413 Saul,7586 that David1732 took3947 853 a harp,3658 and played5059 with his hand:3027 so Saul7586 was refreshed,7304 and was well,2895 and the evil7451 spirit7307 departed5493 from4480 5921 him.
