撒母耳記下

第2章

1 此後,大衛問耶和華說:「我上猶大的一個城去可以嗎?」耶和華說:「可以。」大衛說:「我上哪一個城去呢?」耶和華說:「上希伯崙去。」

2 於是大衛和他的兩個妻─一個是耶斯列人亞希暖,一個是作過迦密人拿八妻的亞比該─都上那裏去了。

3 大衛也將跟隨他的人和他們各人的眷屬一同帶上去,住在希伯崙的城邑中。

4 猶大人來到希伯崙,在那裏膏大衛作猶大家的王。有人告訴大衛說:「葬埋掃羅的是雅比.基列人。」

5 大衛就差人去見雅比.基列人,對他們說:「你們厚待你們的主─掃羅,將他葬埋。願耶和華賜福與你們。

6 你們既行了這事,願耶和華以慈愛誠實待你們,我也要為此厚待你們。

7 現在你們的主─掃羅死了,猶大家已經膏我作他們的王,所以你們要剛強奮勇。」

8 掃羅軍隊[host]的元帥尼珥的兒子押尼珥,曾將掃羅的兒子伊施.波設帶過河,到瑪哈念,

9 立他作王,治理基列、亞書利、耶斯列、以法蓮、便雅憫,和以色列眾人。

10 掃羅的兒子伊施.波設登基的時候年四十歲,作以色列王二年;唯獨猶大家歸從大衛。

11 大衛在希伯崙作猶大家的王,共七年零六個月。

12 尼珥的兒子押尼珥和掃羅的兒子伊施.波設的僕人從瑪哈念出來,往基遍去。

13 洗魯雅的兒子約押和大衛的僕人也出來,在基遍池旁與他們相遇;一班坐在池這邊,一班坐在池那邊。

14 押尼珥對約押說:「讓少年人起來,在我們面前戲耍吧。」約押說:「可以。」

15 就按著定數起來:屬掃羅兒子伊施.波設的便雅憫人過去十二名,大衛的僕人也過去十二名,

16 彼此揪頭,用刀刺肋,一同仆倒。所以,那地叫作希利甲.哈素林,就在基遍。

17 那日的戰事凶猛,押尼珥和以色列人敗在大衛的僕人面前。

18 在那裏有洗魯雅的三個兒子:約押、亞比篩、亞撒黑。亞撒黑腳快如野獐鹿[roe]一般;

19 亞撒黑追趕押尼珥,直追趕他不偏左右。

20 押尼珥回頭說:「你是亞撒黑嗎?」回答說:「是。」

21 押尼珥對他說:「你或轉向左轉向右,拿住一個少年人,剝去他的盔甲[armour]。」亞撒黑卻不肯轉開不追趕他。

22 押尼珥又對亞撒黑說:「你轉開不追趕我吧。我何必殺你呢?若殺你,有甚麼臉見你哥哥約押呢?」

23 亞撒黑仍不肯轉開。故此,押尼珥就用槍鐏刺入他的肚腹,甚至槍從背後透出,亞撒黑就在那裏仆倒而死。眾人趕到亞撒黑仆倒而死的地方,就都站住。

24 約押和亞比篩追趕押尼珥,日落的時候,到了通基遍曠野的路旁,基亞對面的亞瑪山。

25 便雅憫人聚集,跟隨押尼珥站在一個山頂上。

26 押尼珥呼叫約押說:「刀劍豈可永遠殺人嗎?你豈不知終久必有苦楚嗎?你要等何時才叫百姓回去、不追趕弟兄呢?」

27 約押說:「我指著永生的神起誓:你若不說戲耍的那句話,今日早晨百姓就回去,不追趕弟兄了。」

28 於是約押吹[trumpet],眾民就站住,不再追趕以色列[Israel],也不再打仗了。

29 押尼珥和跟隨他的人整夜經過平原[plain],過約旦河,走過畢倫,到了瑪哈念。

30 約押追趕押尼珥回來,聚集眾民,見大衛的僕人中缺少了十九個人和亞撒黑。

31 但大衛的僕人殺了便雅憫人和跟隨押尼珥的人,共三百六十名。

32 眾人將亞撒黑送到伯.利恆,葬在他父親的墳墓裏。約押和跟隨他的人走了一夜,天亮的時候到了希伯崙。

Chapter 2

1 And it came to pass1961 after310 this,3651 that David1732 inquired7592 of the LORD,3068 saying,559 Shall I go up5927 into any259 of the cities5892 of Judah?3063 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 him, Go up.5927 And David1732 said,559 Whither575 shall I go up?5927 And he said,559 Unto Hebron.2275

2 So David1732 went up5927 thither,8033 and his two8147 wives802 also,1571 Ahinoam293 the Jezreelitess,3159 and Abigail26 Nabal's5037 wife802 the Carmelite.3761

3 And his men376 that834 were with5973 him did David1732 bring up,5927 every man376 with his household:1004 and they dwelt3427 in the cities5892 of Hebron.2275

4 And the men376 of Judah3063 came,935 and there8033 they anointed4886 853 David1732 king4428 over5921 the house1004 of Judah.3063 And they told5046 David,1732 saying,559 That the men376 of Jabesh-gilead3003 1568 were they that834 buried6912 853 Saul.7586

5 And David1732 sent7971 messengers4397 unto413 the men376 of Jabesh-gilead,3003 1568 and said559 unto413 them, Blessed1288 be ye859 of the LORD,3068 that834 ye have showed6213 this2088 kindness2617 unto5973 your lord,113 even unto5973 Saul,7586 and have buried6912 him.

6 And now6258 the LORD3068 show6213 kindness2617 and truth571 unto5973 you: and I595 also1571 will requite6213 you this2063 kindness,2896 because834 ye have done6213 this2088 thing.1697

7 Therefore now6258 let your hands3027 be strengthened,2388 and be1961 ye valiant:1121 2428 for3588 your master113 Saul7586 is dead,4191 and also1571 the house1004 of Judah3063 have anointed4886 me king4428 over5921 them.

8 But Abner74 the son1121 of Ner,5369 captain8269 of Saul's7586 host,6635 took3947 853 Ish-bosheth378 the son1121 of Saul,7586 and brought him over5674 to Mahanaim;4266

9 And made him king4427 over413 Gilead,1568 and over413 the Ashurites,843 and over413 Jezreel,3157 and over5921 Ephraim,669 and over5921 Benjamin,1144 and over5921 all3605 Israel.3478

10 Ish-bosheth378 Saul's7586 son1121 was forty705 years8141 old1121 when he began to reign4427 over5921 Israel,3478 and reigned4427 two8147 years.8141 But389 the house1004 of Judah3063 followed1961 310 David.1732

11 And the time4557 3117 that834 David1732 was1961 king4428 in Hebron2275 over5921 the house1004 of Judah3063 was1961 seven7651 years8141 and six8337 months.2320

12 And Abner74 the son1121 of Ner,5369 and the servants5650 of Ish-bosheth378 the son1121 of Saul,7586 went out3318 from Mahanaim4480 4266 to Gibeon.1391

13 And Joab3097 the son1121 of Zeruiah,6870 and the servants5650 of David,1732 went out,3318 and met6298 together3162 by5921 the pool1295 of Gibeon:1391 and they sat down,3427 the one428 on the one side4480 2088 of5921 the pool,1295 and the other428 on the other side4480 2088 of5921 the pool.1295

14 And Abner74 said559 to413 Joab,3097 Let the young men5288 now4994 arise,6965 and play7832 before6440 us. And Joab3097 said,559 Let them arise.6965

15 Then there arose6965 and went over5674 by number4557 twelve8147 6240 of Benjamin,1144 which pertained to Ish-bosheth378 the son1121 of Saul,7586 and twelve8147 6240 of the servants4480 5650 of David.1732

16 And they caught2388 every one376 his fellow7453 by the head,7218 and thrust his sword2719 in his fellow's7453 side;6654 so they fell down5307 together:3162 wherefore that1931 place4725 was called7121 Helkath-hazzurim,2521 which834 is in Gibeon.1391

17 And there was1961 a very5704 3966 sore7186 battle4421 that1931 day;3117 and Abner74 was beaten,5062 and the men376 of Israel,3478 before6440 the servants5650 of David.1732

18 And there8033 were1961 three7969 sons1121 of Zeruiah6870 there, Joab,3097 and Abishai,52 and Asahel:6214 and Asahel6214 was as light7031 of foot7272 as a259 wild834 7704 roe.6643

19 And Asahel6214 pursued7291 after310 Abner;74 and in going1980 he turned5186 not3808 to5921 the right3225 hand nor to5921 the left8040 from following4480 310 Abner.74

20 Then Abner74 looked6437 behind310 him, and said,559 Art thou859 Asahel?6214 And he answered,559 I595 am.

21 And Abner74 said559 to him, Turn thee aside5186 to5921 thy right3225 hand or176 to5921 thy left,8040 and lay thee hold270 on one259 of the young men,4480 5288 and take3947 thee853 his armor.2488 But Asahel6214 would14 not3808 turn aside5493 from following4480 310 of him.

22 And Abner74 said559 again3254 to413 Asahel,6214 Turn thee aside5493 from following4480 310 me: wherefore4100 should I smite5221 thee to the ground?776 how349 then should I hold up5375 my face6440 to413 Joab3097 thy brother?251

23 Howbeit he refused3985 to turn aside:5493 wherefore Abner74 with the hinder end of310 the spear2595 smote5221 him under413 the fifth2570 rib, that the spear2595 came out3318 behind4480 310 him; and he fell down5307 there,8033 and died4191 in the same place:8478 and it came to pass,1961 that as many3605 as came935 to413 the place4725 where834 Asahel6214 fell down5307 and died4191 stood still.5975

24 Joab3097 also and Abishai52 pursued7291 after310 Abner:74 and the sun8121 went down935 when they1992 were come935 to5704 the hill1389 of Ammah,522 that834 lieth before5921 6440 Giah1520 by the way1870 of the wilderness4057 of Gibeon.1391

25 And the children1121 of Benjamin1144 gathered themselves together6908 after310 Abner,74 and became1961 one259 troop,92 and stood5975 on5921 the top7218 of a259 hill.1389

26 Then Abner74 called7121 to413 Joab,3097 and said,559 Shall the sword2719 devour398 forever?5331 knowest3045 thou not3808 that3588 it will be1961 bitterness4751 in the latter end?314 how long5704 shall it be then, ere3808 thou bid559 the people5971 return7725 from following4480 310 their brethren?251

27 And Joab3097 said,559 As God430 liveth,2416 unless3588 3884 thou hadst spoken,1696 surely3588 then227 in the morning1242 the people5971 had gone up5927 every one376 from following4480 310 his brother.251

28 So Joab3097 blew8628 a trumpet,7782 and all3605 the people5971 stood5975 still, and pursued7291 after310 Israel3478 no3808 more,5750 neither3808 fought3898 they any more.3254

29 And Abner74 and his men376 walked1980 all3605 that1931 night3915 through the plain,6160 and passed over5674 853 Jordan,3383 and went through1980 all3605 Bithron,1338 and they came935 to Mahanaim.4266

30 And Joab3097 returned7725 from following4480 310 Abner:74 and when he had gathered all the people together,6908 853 3605 5971 there lacked6485 of David's servants4480 5650 1732 nineteen8672 6240 men376 and Asahel.6214

31 But the servants5650 of David1732 had smitten5221 of Benjamin,4480 1144 and of Abner's74 men,4480 376 so that three7969 hundred3967 and threescore8346 men376 died.4191

32 And they took up5375 853 Asahel,6214 and buried6912 him in the sepulcher6913 of his father,1 which834 was in Bethlehem.1035 And Joab3097 and his men376 went1980 all3605 night,3915 and they came to Hebron2275 at break of day.215

2 Samuel

Chapter 2

1 此後,大衛問耶和華說:「我上猶大的一個城去可以嗎?」耶和華說:「可以。」大衛說:「我上哪一個城去呢?」耶和華說:「上希伯崙去。」

1 And it came to pass1961 after310 this,3651 that David1732 inquired7592 of the LORD,3068 saying,559 Shall I go up5927 into any259 of the cities5892 of Judah?3063 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 him, Go up.5927 And David1732 said,559 Whither575 shall I go up?5927 And he said,559 Unto Hebron.2275

2 於是大衛和他的兩個妻─一個是耶斯列人亞希暖,一個是作過迦密人拿八妻的亞比該─都上那裏去了。

2 So David1732 went up5927 thither,8033 and his two8147 wives802 also,1571 Ahinoam293 the Jezreelitess,3159 and Abigail26 Nabal's5037 wife802 the Carmelite.3761

3 大衛也將跟隨他的人和他們各人的眷屬一同帶上去,住在希伯崙的城邑中。

3 And his men376 that834 were with5973 him did David1732 bring up,5927 every man376 with his household:1004 and they dwelt3427 in the cities5892 of Hebron.2275

4 猶大人來到希伯崙,在那裏膏大衛作猶大家的王。有人告訴大衛說:「葬埋掃羅的是雅比.基列人。」

4 And the men376 of Judah3063 came,935 and there8033 they anointed4886 853 David1732 king4428 over5921 the house1004 of Judah.3063 And they told5046 David,1732 saying,559 That the men376 of Jabesh-gilead3003 1568 were they that834 buried6912 853 Saul.7586

5 大衛就差人去見雅比.基列人,對他們說:「你們厚待你們的主─掃羅,將他葬埋。願耶和華賜福與你們。

5 And David1732 sent7971 messengers4397 unto413 the men376 of Jabesh-gilead,3003 1568 and said559 unto413 them, Blessed1288 be ye859 of the LORD,3068 that834 ye have showed6213 this2088 kindness2617 unto5973 your lord,113 even unto5973 Saul,7586 and have buried6912 him.

6 你們既行了這事,願耶和華以慈愛誠實待你們,我也要為此厚待你們。

6 And now6258 the LORD3068 show6213 kindness2617 and truth571 unto5973 you: and I595 also1571 will requite6213 you this2063 kindness,2896 because834 ye have done6213 this2088 thing.1697

7 現在你們的主─掃羅死了,猶大家已經膏我作他們的王,所以你們要剛強奮勇。」

7 Therefore now6258 let your hands3027 be strengthened,2388 and be1961 ye valiant:1121 2428 for3588 your master113 Saul7586 is dead,4191 and also1571 the house1004 of Judah3063 have anointed4886 me king4428 over5921 them.

8 掃羅軍隊[host]的元帥尼珥的兒子押尼珥,曾將掃羅的兒子伊施.波設帶過河,到瑪哈念,

8 But Abner74 the son1121 of Ner,5369 captain8269 of Saul's7586 host,6635 took3947 853 Ish-bosheth378 the son1121 of Saul,7586 and brought him over5674 to Mahanaim;4266

9 立他作王,治理基列、亞書利、耶斯列、以法蓮、便雅憫,和以色列眾人。

9 And made him king4427 over413 Gilead,1568 and over413 the Ashurites,843 and over413 Jezreel,3157 and over5921 Ephraim,669 and over5921 Benjamin,1144 and over5921 all3605 Israel.3478

10 掃羅的兒子伊施.波設登基的時候年四十歲,作以色列王二年;唯獨猶大家歸從大衛。

10 Ish-bosheth378 Saul's7586 son1121 was forty705 years8141 old1121 when he began to reign4427 over5921 Israel,3478 and reigned4427 two8147 years.8141 But389 the house1004 of Judah3063 followed1961 310 David.1732

11 大衛在希伯崙作猶大家的王,共七年零六個月。

11 And the time4557 3117 that834 David1732 was1961 king4428 in Hebron2275 over5921 the house1004 of Judah3063 was1961 seven7651 years8141 and six8337 months.2320

12 尼珥的兒子押尼珥和掃羅的兒子伊施.波設的僕人從瑪哈念出來,往基遍去。

12 And Abner74 the son1121 of Ner,5369 and the servants5650 of Ish-bosheth378 the son1121 of Saul,7586 went out3318 from Mahanaim4480 4266 to Gibeon.1391

13 洗魯雅的兒子約押和大衛的僕人也出來,在基遍池旁與他們相遇;一班坐在池這邊,一班坐在池那邊。

13 And Joab3097 the son1121 of Zeruiah,6870 and the servants5650 of David,1732 went out,3318 and met6298 together3162 by5921 the pool1295 of Gibeon:1391 and they sat down,3427 the one428 on the one side4480 2088 of5921 the pool,1295 and the other428 on the other side4480 2088 of5921 the pool.1295

14 押尼珥對約押說:「讓少年人起來,在我們面前戲耍吧。」約押說:「可以。」

14 And Abner74 said559 to413 Joab,3097 Let the young men5288 now4994 arise,6965 and play7832 before6440 us. And Joab3097 said,559 Let them arise.6965

15 就按著定數起來:屬掃羅兒子伊施.波設的便雅憫人過去十二名,大衛的僕人也過去十二名,

15 Then there arose6965 and went over5674 by number4557 twelve8147 6240 of Benjamin,1144 which pertained to Ish-bosheth378 the son1121 of Saul,7586 and twelve8147 6240 of the servants4480 5650 of David.1732

16 彼此揪頭,用刀刺肋,一同仆倒。所以,那地叫作希利甲.哈素林,就在基遍。

16 And they caught2388 every one376 his fellow7453 by the head,7218 and thrust his sword2719 in his fellow's7453 side;6654 so they fell down5307 together:3162 wherefore that1931 place4725 was called7121 Helkath-hazzurim,2521 which834 is in Gibeon.1391

17 那日的戰事凶猛,押尼珥和以色列人敗在大衛的僕人面前。

17 And there was1961 a very5704 3966 sore7186 battle4421 that1931 day;3117 and Abner74 was beaten,5062 and the men376 of Israel,3478 before6440 the servants5650 of David.1732

18 在那裏有洗魯雅的三個兒子:約押、亞比篩、亞撒黑。亞撒黑腳快如野獐鹿[roe]一般;

18 And there8033 were1961 three7969 sons1121 of Zeruiah6870 there, Joab,3097 and Abishai,52 and Asahel:6214 and Asahel6214 was as light7031 of foot7272 as a259 wild834 7704 roe.6643

19 亞撒黑追趕押尼珥,直追趕他不偏左右。

19 And Asahel6214 pursued7291 after310 Abner;74 and in going1980 he turned5186 not3808 to5921 the right3225 hand nor to5921 the left8040 from following4480 310 Abner.74

20 押尼珥回頭說:「你是亞撒黑嗎?」回答說:「是。」

20 Then Abner74 looked6437 behind310 him, and said,559 Art thou859 Asahel?6214 And he answered,559 I595 am.

21 押尼珥對他說:「你或轉向左轉向右,拿住一個少年人,剝去他的盔甲[armour]。」亞撒黑卻不肯轉開不追趕他。

21 And Abner74 said559 to him, Turn thee aside5186 to5921 thy right3225 hand or176 to5921 thy left,8040 and lay thee hold270 on one259 of the young men,4480 5288 and take3947 thee853 his armor.2488 But Asahel6214 would14 not3808 turn aside5493 from following4480 310 of him.

22 押尼珥又對亞撒黑說:「你轉開不追趕我吧。我何必殺你呢?若殺你,有甚麼臉見你哥哥約押呢?」

22 And Abner74 said559 again3254 to413 Asahel,6214 Turn thee aside5493 from following4480 310 me: wherefore4100 should I smite5221 thee to the ground?776 how349 then should I hold up5375 my face6440 to413 Joab3097 thy brother?251

23 亞撒黑仍不肯轉開。故此,押尼珥就用槍鐏刺入他的肚腹,甚至槍從背後透出,亞撒黑就在那裏仆倒而死。眾人趕到亞撒黑仆倒而死的地方,就都站住。

23 Howbeit he refused3985 to turn aside:5493 wherefore Abner74 with the hinder end of310 the spear2595 smote5221 him under413 the fifth2570 rib, that the spear2595 came out3318 behind4480 310 him; and he fell down5307 there,8033 and died4191 in the same place:8478 and it came to pass,1961 that as many3605 as came935 to413 the place4725 where834 Asahel6214 fell down5307 and died4191 stood still.5975

24 約押和亞比篩追趕押尼珥,日落的時候,到了通基遍曠野的路旁,基亞對面的亞瑪山。

24 Joab3097 also and Abishai52 pursued7291 after310 Abner:74 and the sun8121 went down935 when they1992 were come935 to5704 the hill1389 of Ammah,522 that834 lieth before5921 6440 Giah1520 by the way1870 of the wilderness4057 of Gibeon.1391

25 便雅憫人聚集,跟隨押尼珥站在一個山頂上。

25 And the children1121 of Benjamin1144 gathered themselves together6908 after310 Abner,74 and became1961 one259 troop,92 and stood5975 on5921 the top7218 of a259 hill.1389

26 押尼珥呼叫約押說:「刀劍豈可永遠殺人嗎?你豈不知終久必有苦楚嗎?你要等何時才叫百姓回去、不追趕弟兄呢?」

26 Then Abner74 called7121 to413 Joab,3097 and said,559 Shall the sword2719 devour398 forever?5331 knowest3045 thou not3808 that3588 it will be1961 bitterness4751 in the latter end?314 how long5704 shall it be then, ere3808 thou bid559 the people5971 return7725 from following4480 310 their brethren?251

27 約押說:「我指著永生的神起誓:你若不說戲耍的那句話,今日早晨百姓就回去,不追趕弟兄了。」

27 And Joab3097 said,559 As God430 liveth,2416 unless3588 3884 thou hadst spoken,1696 surely3588 then227 in the morning1242 the people5971 had gone up5927 every one376 from following4480 310 his brother.251

28 於是約押吹[trumpet],眾民就站住,不再追趕以色列[Israel],也不再打仗了。

28 So Joab3097 blew8628 a trumpet,7782 and all3605 the people5971 stood5975 still, and pursued7291 after310 Israel3478 no3808 more,5750 neither3808 fought3898 they any more.3254

29 押尼珥和跟隨他的人整夜經過平原[plain],過約旦河,走過畢倫,到了瑪哈念。

29 And Abner74 and his men376 walked1980 all3605 that1931 night3915 through the plain,6160 and passed over5674 853 Jordan,3383 and went through1980 all3605 Bithron,1338 and they came935 to Mahanaim.4266

30 約押追趕押尼珥回來,聚集眾民,見大衛的僕人中缺少了十九個人和亞撒黑。

30 And Joab3097 returned7725 from following4480 310 Abner:74 and when he had gathered all the people together,6908 853 3605 5971 there lacked6485 of David's servants4480 5650 1732 nineteen8672 6240 men376 and Asahel.6214

31 但大衛的僕人殺了便雅憫人和跟隨押尼珥的人,共三百六十名。

31 But the servants5650 of David1732 had smitten5221 of Benjamin,4480 1144 and of Abner's74 men,4480 376 so that three7969 hundred3967 and threescore8346 men376 died.4191

32 眾人將亞撒黑送到伯.利恆,葬在他父親的墳墓裏。約押和跟隨他的人走了一夜,天亮的時候到了希伯崙。

32 And they took up5375 853 Asahel,6214 and buried6912 him in the sepulcher6913 of his father,1 which834 was in Bethlehem.1035 And Joab3097 and his men376 went1980 all3605 night,3915 and they came to Hebron2275 at break of day.215
