撒母耳記上

第18章

1 大衛對掃羅說完了話,約拿單的心與大衛的心深相契合。約拿單愛大衛,如同愛自己的性命。

2 那日掃羅留住大衛,不容他再回父家。

3 約拿單愛大衛如同愛自己的性命,就與他結盟。

4 約拿單從身上脫下外袍,給了大衛,又將衣服[garments]、刀、弓、腰帶都給了他。

5 掃羅無論差遣大衛往何處去,他都作事精明。掃羅就立他作戰士長,眾百姓和掃羅的臣僕無不喜悅。

6 大衛打死了那非利士人,同眾人回來的時候,婦女們從以色列各城裏出來,歡歡喜喜,打鼓擊磬,歌唱跳舞,迎接掃羅王。

7 眾婦女舞蹈唱和,說:「掃羅殺死幾千[thousands],大衛殺死數萬[ten thousands]。」

8 掃羅甚發怒,不喜悅這話;掃羅[he]說:「她們[They]幾萬[ten thousands]歸大衛,數千[thousands]歸我;除了國位,他還可得甚麼嗎[what can he have more but the kingdom]?」

9 從這日起,掃羅就怒視大衛。

10 次日,從神那裏來的惡[spirit][came]在掃羅身上,他就在家中胡言亂語。大衛照常彈琴,掃羅手裏拿著短鎗[javelin]

11 掃羅把短鎗[javelin][cast],心裏說,我要將大衛刺透,釘在牆上。大衛躲避他兩次。

12 掃羅懼怕大衛;因為耶和華離開自己,與大衛同在。

13 所以掃羅使大衛離開自己,立他為千夫長,他就領兵出入。

14 大衛作事無不精明,耶和華也與他同在。

15 掃羅見大衛作事精明,就甚怕他。

16 但以色列和猶大眾人都愛大衛,因為他領他們出入。

17 掃羅對大衛說:「看哪[Behold],我將大女兒米拉給你為妻,只要你為我奮勇,為耶和華爭戰。」掃羅心裏說:「我不好親手害他,要藉非利士人的手害他。」

18 大衛對掃羅說:「我是誰,我是甚麼出身,我父家在以色列中是何等的家,豈敢作王的女婿呢?」

19 掃羅的女兒米拉到了當給大衛的時候,掃羅卻給了米何拉人亞得列為妻。

20 掃羅的次女米甲愛大衛。有人告訴掃羅,掃羅就喜悅。

21 掃羅心裏說:「我將這女兒給大衛,作他的網羅,好藉非利士人的手害他。」所以掃羅對大衛說:「你今日可以在我兩個女兒中的一個[in the one of the twain]作我的女婿。」

22 掃羅吩咐臣僕說:「你們暗中與大衛談論[Commune with David]說:『你看[Behold],王喜悅你,王的臣僕也都喜愛你,所以你當作王的女婿。』」

23 掃羅的臣僕就照這話說給大衛聽。大衛說:「你們以為作王的女婿是一件小事嗎?我是貧窮卑微的人。」

24 掃羅的臣僕回奏說,大衛所說的如此如此。

25 掃羅說:「你們要對大衛這樣說:『王不要甚麼聘禮,只要一百非利士人的包皮,好在王的仇敵身上報仇。』」掃羅[thought]要使大衛喪在非利士人的手裏。

26 掃羅的臣僕將這些[these]話告訴大衛,大衛就歡喜作王的女婿。日期還沒有到,

27 大衛和跟隨他的人起身前往,殺了二百非利士人,將包皮滿數交給王,為要作王的女婿。於是掃羅將女兒米甲給大衛為妻。

28 掃羅見耶和華與大衛同在,又知道女兒米甲愛大衛,

29 就更怕大衛,常作大衛的仇敵。

30 每逢非利士軍長出來打仗,大衛比掃羅的臣僕作事精明,因此他的名被人尊重。

1 Samuel

Chapter 18

1 WHEN David had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

2 And Saul took him that day, and would not let him return to his father's house.

3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because Jonathan loved David as his own soul.

4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword and his bow and his girdle.

5 And David went out wherever Saul sent him and was victorious; so that Saul appointed him over the men of war, and he found favor in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

6 And it came to pass as they returned, when David came back from the slaughter of the Philistines, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul with tambourines, and with cymbals, and were rejoicing.

7 And the women sang as they played, and laughed, saying, Saul has slain by thousands, and David by tens of thousands.

8 And Saul was very wroth, and this saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands; and what more can he have but the kingdom?

9 And Saul began to envy David from that day forward.

10 And it came to pass after some days that an evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house, and David was playing music in his presence, as at other times; and there was a javelin in Saul's hand.

11 And Saul threw the javelin; for he said, I will pin David to the wall. But David evaded it twice.

12 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and had departed from Saul.

13 Therefore Saul removed him from his presence, and made him a commander over a thousand; and he went out to war and came in before the people.

14 And David was a man of understanding in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.

15 And when Saul saw that he was exceedingly wise, he was afraid of him.

16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out to war and came in before them.

17 And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Nadab, I will give her to you to wife, but you must become a commander-in-chief for me and fight the LORD'S battles. For Saul said, Let not my hand be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.

18 And David said to Saul, Who am I? And what have I done, or what is my life or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?

19 But it came to pass at the time when Nadab, Saul's daughter should have been given to David, she was given to Azriel the Meholathite to wife.

20 And Malchel Saul's daughter loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.

21 And Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a hindrance to him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, You shall this day be my son-in-law in doing one of two things.

22 And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David the son of Jesse, saying, Behold the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you; now therefore be the king's son-in-law.

23 And Saul's servants spoke these words to David. And David said, Seems it to you a light thing to be a king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man and despised?

24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, These are the words which David spoke.

25 And Saul said, Thus shall you say to David, The king does not desire any dowry, but two hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of his enemies. But King Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

26 And when the servants of Saul told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law; but the time had not come.

27 Wherefore David arose and went out, he and his men, and slew two hundred men of the Philistines; and David brought their foreskins and gave them to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Malchel his daughter to wife.

28 land Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David and that Malchel Saul's daughter loved David exceedingly.

29 And Saul was still the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy thenceforth.

30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth raiding; and it came to pass at the time they went forth raiding, David was more successful than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly honored.

22 And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David the son of Jesse, saying, Behold the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you; now therefore be the king's son-in-law.

26 掃羅的臣僕將這些[these]話告訴大衛,大衛就歡喜作王的女婿。日期還沒有到,

26 And when the servants of Saul told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law; but the time had not come.

27 大衛和跟隨他的人起身前往,殺了二百非利士人,將包皮滿數交給王,為要作王的女婿。於是掃羅將女兒米甲給大衛為妻。

27 Wherefore David arose and went out, he and his men, and slew two hundred men of the Philistines; and David brought their foreskins and gave them to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Malchel his daughter to wife.

28 掃羅見耶和華與大衛同在,又知道女兒米甲愛大衛,

28 land Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David and that Malchel Saul's daughter loved David exceedingly.

29 就更怕大衛,常作大衛的仇敵。

29 And Saul was still the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy thenceforth.

30 每逢非利士軍長出來打仗,大衛比掃羅的臣僕作事精明,因此他的名被人尊重。

30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth raiding; and it came to pass at the time they went forth raiding, David was more successful than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly honored.
