Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1One day Jonathan son of Saul said to the young man bearing his armor, “Come, let us cross over to the Philistine outpost on the other side.” But Jonathan did not tell his father.
1有一日， 掃羅 的兒子 約拿單 對拿他兵器的少年人說：「我們不如過到那邊，到 非利士 人的防營那裏去。」但他沒有告訴父親。
2Meanwhile, Saul was staying under the pomegranate tree in Migron on the outskirts of Gibeah. And the troops who were with him numbered about six hundred men,
2掃羅 在 基比亞 的儘邊，坐在 米磯崙 的石榴樹下，跟隨他的約有六百人。
3including Ahijah, who was wearing an ephod. He was the son of Ichabod’s brother Ahitub son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of the LORD in Shiloh. But the troops did not know that Jonathan had left.
3在那裏有 亞希突 的兒子 亞希亞 ，穿着以弗得。（ 亞希突 是 以迦博 的哥哥， 非尼哈 的兒子， 以利 的孫子。 以利 從前在 示羅 作耶和華的祭司。） 約拿單 去了，百姓卻不知道。
4Now there were cliffs on both sides of the pass that Jonathan intended to cross to reach the Philistine outpost. One was named Bozez and the other Seneh.
4約拿單 要從隘口過到 非利士 防營那裏去。這隘口兩邊各有一個山峰：一名 播薛 ，一名 西尼 ；
5One cliff stood to the north toward Michmash, and the other to the south toward Geba.
5一峰向北，與 密抹 相對，一峰向南，與 迦巴 相對。
6Jonathan said to the young man bearing his armor, “Come, let us cross over to the outpost of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will work on our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few.”
6約拿單 對拿兵器的少年人說：「我們不如過到未受割禮人的防營那裏去，或者耶和華為我們施展能力；因為耶和華使人得勝，不在乎人多人少。」
7His armor-bearer replied, “Do all that is in your heart. Go ahead; I am with you heart and soul.”
7拿兵器的對他說：「隨你的心意行吧。你可以上去，我必跟隨你，與你同心。」
8“Very well,” said Jonathan, “we will cross over toward these men and show ourselves to them.
8約拿單 說：「我們要過到那些人那裏去，使他們看見我們。
9If they say, ‘Wait until we come to you,’ then we will stay where we are and will not go up to them.
9他們若對我們說：『你們站住，等我們到你們那裏去』，我們就站住，不上他們那裏去。
10But if they say, ‘Come on up,’ then we will go up, because this will be our sign that the LORD has delivered them into our hands.”
10他們若說：『你們上到我們這裏來』，這話就是我們的證據；我們便上去，因為耶和華將他們交在我們手裏了。」
11So the two of them showed themselves to the outpost of the Philistines, who exclaimed, “Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes in which they were hiding!”
11二人就使 非利士 的防兵看見。 非利士 人說：「 希伯來 人從所藏的洞穴裏出來了！」
12So the men of the outpost called out to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, “Come on up, and we will teach you a lesson!” “Follow me,” Jonathan told his armor-bearer, “for the LORD has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”
12防兵對 約拿單 和拿兵器的人說：「你們上到這裏來，我們有一件事指示你們。」 約拿單 就對拿兵器的人說：「你跟隨我上去，因為耶和華將他們交在 以色列 人手裏了。」
13So Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, with his armor-bearer behind him. And the Philistines fell before Jonathan, and his armor-bearer followed and finished them off.
13約拿單 就爬上去，拿兵器的人跟隨他。 約拿單 殺倒 非利士 人，拿兵器的人也隨着殺他們。
14In that first assault, Jonathan and his armor-bearer struck down about twenty men over half an acre of land.
14約拿單 和拿兵器的人起頭所殺的約有二十人，都在一畝地的半犂溝之內。
15Then terror struck the Philistines in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. Even those in the outposts and raiding parties trembled. Indeed, the earth quaked and panic spread from God.
15於是在營中、在田野、在眾民內都有戰兢，防兵和掠兵也都戰兢，地也震動，戰兢之勢甚大。
16Now when Saul’s watchmen at Gibeah in Benjamin looked and saw the troops melting away and scattering in every direction,
16在 便雅憫 的 基比亞 ， 掃羅 的守望兵看見 非利士 的軍眾潰散，四圍亂竄。
17Saul said to the troops who were with him, “Call the roll and see who has left us.” And when they had called the roll, they saw that Jonathan and his armor-bearer were not there.
17掃羅 就對跟隨他的民說：「你們查點查點，看從我們這裏出去的是誰？」他們一查點，就知道 約拿單 和拿兵器的人沒有在這裏。
18Then Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of God.” (For at that time it was with the Israelites.)
18那時上帝的 約 櫃在 以色列 人那裏。 掃羅 對 亞希亞 說：「你將上帝的 約 櫃運了來。」
19While Saul was talking to the priest, the commotion in the Philistine camp continued to increase. So Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand.”
19掃羅 正與祭司說話的時候， 非利士 營中的喧嚷越發大了； 掃羅 就對祭司說：「停手吧！」
20Then Saul and all his troops assembled and marched to the battle, and they found the Philistines in total confusion, with each man wielding the sword against his neighbor.
20掃羅 和跟隨他的人都聚集，來到戰場，看見 非利士 人用刀互相擊殺，大大惶亂。
21And the Hebrews who had previously gone up into the surrounding camps of the Philistines now went over to the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
21從前由四方來跟隨 非利士 軍的 希伯來 人現在也轉過來，幫助跟隨 掃羅 和 約拿單 的 以色列 人了。
22When all the Israelites who had been hiding in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines were fleeing, they also joined Saul and Jonathan in the battle.
22那藏在 以法蓮 山地的 以色列 人聽說 非利士 人逃跑，就出來緊緊地追殺他們。
23So the LORD saved Israel that day, and the battle moved on beyond Beth-aven.
23那日，耶和華使 以色列 人得勝，一直戰到 伯‧亞文 。
24Now the men of Israel were in distress that day, for Saul had placed the troops under an oath, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food before evening, before I have taken vengeance on my enemies.” So none of the troops tasted any food.
24掃羅 叫百姓起誓說，凡不等到晚上向敵人報完了仇吃甚麼的，必受咒詛。因此這日百姓沒有吃甚麼，就極其困憊。
25Then all the troops entered the forest, and there was honey on the ground.
25眾民進入樹林，見有蜜在地上。
26And when they entered the forest and saw the flowing honey, not one of them put his hand to his mouth, because they feared the oath.
26他們進了樹林，見有蜜流下來，卻沒有人敢用手 取蜜 入口，因為他們怕那誓言。
27Jonathan, however, had not heard that his father had charged the people with the oath. So he reached out the end of the staff in his hand, dipped it into the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes brightened.
27約拿單 沒有聽見他父親叫百姓起誓，所以伸手中的杖，用杖頭蘸在蜂房裏，轉手送入口內，眼睛就明亮了。
28Then one of the soldiers told him, “Your father bound the troops with a solemn oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’ That is why the people are faint.”
28百姓中有一人對他說：「你父親曾叫百姓嚴嚴地起誓說，今日吃甚麼的，必受咒詛；因此百姓就疲乏了。」
29“My father has brought trouble to the land,” Jonathan replied. “Just look at how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.
29約拿單 說：「我父親連累你們了。你看，我嘗了這一點蜜，眼睛就明亮了。
30How much better it would have been if the troops had eaten freely today from the plunder they took from their enemies! Would not the slaughter of the Philistines have been much greater?”
30今日百姓若任意吃了從仇敵所奪的物，擊殺的 非利士 人豈不更多嗎？」
31That day, after the Israelites had struck down the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon, the people were very faint.
31這日， 以色列 人擊殺 非利士 人，從 密抹 直到 亞雅崙 。百姓甚是疲乏，
32So they rushed greedily to the plunder, taking sheep, cattle, and calves. They slaughtered them on the ground and ate meat with the blood still in it.
32就急忙將所奪的牛羊和牛犢宰於地上，肉還帶血就吃了。
33Then someone reported to Saul: “Look, the troops are sinning against the LORD by eating meat with the blood still in it.” “You have broken faith,” said Saul. “Roll a large stone over here at once.”
33有人告訴 掃羅 說：「百姓吃帶血的肉，得罪耶和華了。」 掃羅 說：「你們有罪了，今日要將大石頭滾到我這裏來。」
34Then he said, “Go among the troops and tell them, ‘Each man must bring me his ox or his sheep, slaughter them in this place, and then eat. Do not sin against the LORD by eating meat with the blood still in it.’” So that night everyone brought his ox and slaughtered it there.
34掃羅 又說：「你們散在百姓中，對他們說，你們各人將牛羊牽到我這裏來宰了吃，不可吃帶血的肉得罪耶和華。」這夜，百姓就把牛羊牽到那裏宰了。
35Then Saul built an altar to the LORD; it was the first time he had built an altar to the LORD.
35掃羅 為耶和華築了一座壇，這是他初次為耶和華築的壇。
36And Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night and plunder them until dawn, leaving no man alive!” “Do what seems good to you,” the troops replied. But the priest said, “We must consult God here.”
36掃羅 說：「我們不如夜裏下去追趕 非利士 人，搶掠他們，直到天亮，不留他們一人。」眾民說：「你看怎樣好就去行吧！」祭司說：「我們先當親近上帝。」
37So Saul inquired of God, “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will You give them into the hand of Israel?” But God did not answer him that day.
37掃羅 求問上帝說：「我下去追趕 非利士 人可以不可以？你將他們交在 以色列 人手裏不交？」這日上帝沒有回答他。
38Therefore Saul said, “Come here, all you leaders of the troops, and let us investigate how this sin has occurred today.
38掃羅 說：「你們百姓中的長老都上這裏來，查明今日是誰犯了罪。
39As surely as the LORD who saves Israel lives, even if it is my son Jonathan, he must die!” But not one of the troops said a word.
39我指着救 以色列 －永生的耶和華起誓，就是我兒子 約拿單 犯了罪，他也必死。」但百姓中無一人回答他。
40Then Saul said to all Israel, “You stand on one side, and I and my son Jonathan will stand on the other side.” “Do what seems good to you,” the troops replied.
40掃羅 就對 以色列 眾人說：「你們站在一邊，我與我兒子 約拿單 也站在一邊。」百姓對 掃羅 說：「你看怎樣好就去行吧！」
41So Saul said to the LORD, the God of Israel, “Why have You not answered Your servant this day? If the fault is with me or my son Jonathan, respond with Urim; but if the fault is with the men of Israel, respond with Thummim.” And Jonathan and Saul were selected, but the people were cleared of the charge.
41掃羅 禱告耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝說：「求你指示實情。」於是 掣籤 掣出 掃羅 和 約拿單 來；百姓盡都無事。
42Then Saul said, “Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan.” And Jonathan was selected.
42掃羅 說：「你們再 掣籤 ，看是我，是我兒子 約拿單 」，就掣出 約拿單 來。
43“Tell me what you have done,” Saul commanded him. So Jonathan told him, “I only tasted a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand. And now I must die?”
43掃羅 對 約拿單 說：「你告訴我，你做了甚麼事？」 約拿單 說：「我實在以手裏的杖，用杖頭蘸了一點蜜嘗了一嘗。這樣我就死嗎？」
44And Saul declared, “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if you, Jonathan, do not surely die!”
44掃羅 說：「 約拿單 哪，你定要死！若不然，願上帝重重地降罰與我。」
45But the people said to Saul, “Must Jonathan die—he who accomplished such a great deliverance for Israel? Never! As surely as the LORD lives, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, for with God’s help he has accomplished this today.” So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.
45百姓對 掃羅 說：「 約拿單 在 以色列 人中這樣大行拯救，豈可使他死呢？斷乎不可！我們指着永生的耶和華起誓，連他的一根頭髮也不可落地，因為他今日與上帝一同做事。」於是百姓救 約拿單 免了死亡。
46Then Saul gave up his pursuit of the Philistines, and the Philistines returned to their own land.
46掃羅 回去，不追趕 非利士 人； 非利士 人也回本地去了。
47After Saul had assumed the kingship over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side—the Moabites, the Ammonites, the Edomites, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he routed them.
47掃羅 執掌 以色列 的國權，常常攻擊他四圍的一切仇敵，就是 摩押 人、 亞捫 人、 以東 人，和 瑣巴 諸王，並 非利士 人。他無論往何處去，都打敗仇敵。
48He fought valiantly and defeated the Amalekites, delivering Israel from the hands of its plunderers.
48掃羅 奮勇攻擊 亞瑪力 人，救了 以色列 人脫離搶掠他們之人的手。
49Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua. His two daughters were named Merab (his firstborn) and Michal (his younger daughter).
49掃羅 的兒子是 約拿單 、 亦施韋 、 麥基舒亞 。他的兩個女兒：長女名 米拉 ，次女名 米甲 。
50His wife’s name was Ahinoam daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the commander of his army was Abner, the son of Saul’s uncle Ner.
50掃羅 的妻名叫 亞希暖 ，是 亞希瑪斯 的女兒。 掃羅 的元帥名叫 押尼珥 ，是 尼珥 的兒子； 尼珥 是 掃羅 的叔叔。
51Saul’s father Kish and Abner’s father Ner were sons of Abiel.
51掃羅 的父親 基士 ， 押尼珥 的父親 尼珥 ，都是 亞別 的兒子。
52And the war with the Philistines was fierce for all the days of Saul. So whenever he noticed any strong or brave man, Saul would enlist him.
52掃羅 平生常與 非利士 人大大爭戰。 掃羅 遇見有能力的人或勇士，都招募了來跟隨他。
