Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Then it was reported to Joab, “The king is weeping and mourning over Absalom.”
1有人告诉 约押 说：「王为 押沙龙 哭泣悲哀。」
2And that day’s victory was turned into mourning for all the people, because on that day they were told, “The king is grieving over his son.”
2众民听说王为他儿子忧愁，他们得胜的欢乐却变成悲哀。
3So they returned to the city quietly that day, as people steal away in humiliation after fleeing a battle.
3那日众民暗暗地进城，就如败阵逃跑、惭愧的民一般。
4But the king covered his face and cried out at the top of his voice, “O my son Absalom! O Absalom, my son, my son!”
4王蒙着脸，大声哭号说：「我儿 押沙龙 啊！ 押沙龙 ，我儿，我儿啊！」
5Then Joab went into the house and said to the king, “Today you have disgraced all your servants who have saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters, of your wives, and of your concubines.
5约押 进去见王，说：「你今日使你一切仆人脸面惭愧了！他们今日救了你的性命和你儿女妻妾的性命，
6You love those who hate you and hate those who love you! For you have made it clear today that the commanders and soldiers mean nothing to you. I know today that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead, it would have pleased you!
6你却爱那恨你的人，恨那爱你的人。你今日明明地不以将帅、仆人为念。我今日看明，若 押沙龙 活着，我们都死亡，你就喜悦了。
7Now therefore get up! Go out and speak comfort to your servants, for I swear by the LORD that if you do not go out, not a man will remain with you tonight. This will be worse for you than all the adversity that has befallen you from your youth until now!”
7现在你当出去，安慰你仆人的心。我指着耶和华起誓：你若不出去，今夜必无一人与你同在一处；这祸患就比你从幼年到如今所遭的更甚！」
8So the king got up and sat in the gate, and all the people were told: “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate.” So they all came before the king. Meanwhile, the Israelites had fled, each man to his home.
8于是王起来，坐在城门口。众民听说王坐在城门口，就都到王面前。 以色列 人已经逃跑，各回各家去了。
9And all the people throughout the tribes of Israel were arguing, “The king rescued us from the hand of our enemies and delivered us from the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled the land because of Absalom.
9以色列 众支派的人纷纷议论说：「王曾救我们脱离仇敌的手，又救我们脱离 非利士 人的手，现在他躲避 押沙龙 逃走了。
10But Absalom, the man we anointed over us, has died in battle. So why do you say nothing about restoring the king?”
10我们膏 押沙龙 治理我们，他已经阵亡。现在为什么不出一言请王回来呢？」
11Then King David sent this message to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests: “Say to the elders of Judah, ‘Why should you be the last to restore the king to his palace, since the talk of all Israel has reached the king at his quarters?
11大卫 王差人去见祭司 撒督 和 亚比亚他 ，说：「你们当向 犹大 长老说：『 以色列 众人已经有话请王回宫，你们为什么落在他们后头呢？
12You are my brothers, my own flesh and blood. So why should you be the last to restore the king?’
12你们是我的弟兄，是我的骨肉，为什么在人后头请王回来呢？』
13And say to Amasa, ‘Aren’t you my flesh and blood? May God punish me, and ever so severely, if from this time you are not the commander of my army in place of Joab!’”
13也要对 亚玛撒 说：『你不是我的骨肉吗？我若不立你替 约押 常作元帅，愿 神重重地降罚与我！』」
14So he swayed the hearts of all the men of Judah as though they were one man, and they sent word to the king: “Return, you and all your servants.”
14如此就挽回 犹大 众人的心，如同一人的心。他们便打发人去见王，说：「请王和王的一切臣仆回来。」
15So the king returned, and when he arrived at the Jordan, the men of Judah came to Gilgal to meet him and escort him across the Jordan.
15王就回来，到了 约旦河 。 犹大 人来到 吉甲 ，要去迎接王，请他过 约旦河 。
16Then Shimei son of Gera, a Benjamite from Bahurim, hurried down with the men of Judah to meet King David,
16巴户琳 的 便雅悯 人、 基拉 的儿子 示每 急忙与 犹大 人一同下去迎接 大卫 王。
17along with a thousand men of Benjamin, as well as Ziba the steward of the house of Saul and his fifteen sons and twenty servants. They rushed down to the Jordan before the king
17跟从 示每 的有一千 便雅悯 人，还有 扫罗 家的仆人 洗巴 和他十五个儿子，二十个仆人；他们都趟过 约旦河 迎接王。
18and crossed at the ford to carry over the king’s household and to do what was good in his sight. When Shimei son of Gera crossed the Jordan, he fell down before the king
18有摆渡船过去，渡王的家眷，任王使用。 王要过 约旦河 的时候， 基拉 的儿子 示每 就俯伏在王面前，
19and said, “My lord, do not hold me guilty, and do not remember your servant’s wrongdoing on the day my lord the king left Jerusalem. May the king not take it to heart.
19对王说：「我主我王出 耶路撒冷 的时候，仆人行悖逆的事，现在求我主不要因此加罪与仆人，不要记念，也不要放在心上。
20For your servant knows that I have sinned, so here I am today as the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king.”
20仆人明知自己有罪，所以 约瑟 全家之中，今日我首先下来迎接我主我王。」
21But Abishai son of Zeruiah said, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD’s anointed?”
21洗鲁雅 的儿子 亚比筛 说：「 示每 既咒骂耶和华的受膏者，不应当治死他吗？」
22And David replied, “Sons of Zeruiah, what have I to do with you, that you should be my adversaries today? Should any man be put to death in Israel today? Am I not indeed aware that today I am king over Israel?”
22大卫 说：「 洗鲁雅 的儿子，我与你们有何关涉，使你们今日与我反对呢？今日在 以色列 中岂可治死人呢？我岂不知今日我作 以色列 的王吗？」
23So the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And the king swore an oath to him.
23于是王对 示每 说：「你必不死。」王就向他起誓。
24Then Mephibosheth, Saul’s grandson, went down to meet the king. He had not cared for his feet or trimmed his mustache or washed his clothes from the day the king had left until the day he returned safely.
24扫罗 的孙子 米非波设 也下去迎接王。他自从王去的日子，直到王平平安安地回来，没有修脚，没有剃胡须，也没有洗衣服。
25And he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, who asked him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”
25他来到 耶路撒冷 迎接王的时候，王问他说：「 米非波设 ，你为什么没有与我同去呢？」
26“My lord the king,” he replied, “because I am lame, I said, ‘I will have my donkey saddled so that I may ride on it and go with the king.’ But my servant Ziba deceived me,
26他回答说：「我主我王，仆人是瘸腿的。那日我想要备驴骑上，与王同去，无奈我的仆人欺哄了我，
27and he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. Yet my lord the king is like the angel of God, so do what is good in your eyes.
27又在我主我王面前谗毁我。然而我主我王如同 神的使者一般，你看怎样好，就怎样行吧！
28For all the house of my grandfather deserves death from my lord the king, yet you have set your servant among those who eat at your table. What further right, then, do I have to keep appealing to the king?”
28因为我祖全家的人，在我主我王面前都算为死人，王却使仆人在王的席上同人吃饭，我现在向王还能辨理诉冤吗？」
29The king replied, “Why say any more? I hereby declare that you and Ziba are to divide the land.”
29王对他说：「你何必再提你的事呢？我说，你与 洗巴 均分地土。」
30And Mephibosheth said to the king, “Instead, since my lord the king has safely come to his own house, let Ziba take it all!”
30米非波设 对王说：「我主我王既平平安安地回宫，就任凭 洗巴 都取了也可以。」
31Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim to cross the Jordan with the king and send him on his way from there.
31基列 人 巴西莱 从 罗基琳 下来，要送王过 约旦河 ，就与王一同过了 约旦河 。
32Barzillai was quite old, eighty years of age, and since he was a very wealthy man, he had provided for the king while he stayed in Mahanaim.
32巴西莱 年纪老迈，已经八十岁了。王住在 玛哈念 的时候，他就拿食物来供给王；他原是大富户。
33The king said to Barzillai, “Cross over with me, and I will provide for you at my side in Jerusalem.”
33王对 巴西莱 说：「你与我同去，我要在 耶路撒冷 那里养你的老。」
34But Barzillai replied, “How many years of my life remain, that I should go up to Jerusalem with the king?
34巴西莱 对王说：「我在世的年日还能有多少，使我与王同上 耶路撒冷 呢？
35I am now eighty years old. Can I discern what is good and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or drinks? Can I still hear the voice of singing men and women? Why should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?
35仆人现在八十岁了，还能尝出饮食的滋味、辨别美恶吗？还能听男女歌唱的声音吗？仆人何必累赘我主我王呢？
36Your servant could go with the king only a short distance past the Jordan; why should the king repay me with such a reward?
36仆人只要送王过 约旦河 ，王何必赐我这样的恩典呢？
37Please let your servant return, that I may die in my own city near the tomb of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your sight.”
37求你准我回去，好死在我本城， 葬在 我父母的墓旁。这里有王的仆人 金罕 ，让他同我主我王过去，可以随意待他。」
38The king replied, “Chimham will cross over with me, and I will do for him what seems good in your sight, and I will do for you whatever you desire of me.”
38王说：「 金罕 可以与我同去，我必照你的心愿待他。你向我求什么，我都必为你成就。」
39So all the people crossed the Jordan, and then the king crossed over. The king kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and Barzillai returned home.
39于是众民过 约旦河 ，王也过去。王与 巴西莱 亲嘴，为他祝福， 巴西莱 就回本地去了。
40Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham crossed over with him. All the troops of Judah and half the troops of Israel escorted the king.
40王过去，到了 吉甲 ， 金罕 也跟他过去。 犹大 众民和 以色列 民的一半也都送王过去。
41Soon all the men of Israel came to the king and asked, “Why did our brothers, the men of Judah, take you away secretly and bring the king and his household across the Jordan, together with all of David’s men?”
41以色列 众人来见王，对他说：「我们弟兄 犹大 人为什么暗暗送王和王的家眷，并跟随王的人过 约旦河 ？」
42And all the men of Judah replied to the men of Israel, “We did this because the king is our relative. Why does this anger you? Have we ever eaten at the king’s expense or received anything for ourselves?”
42犹大 众人回答 以色列 人说：「因为王与我们是亲属，你们为何因这事发怒呢？我们吃了王的什么呢？王赏赐了我们什么呢？」
43“We have ten shares in the king,” answered the men of Israel, “so we have more claim to David than you. Why then do you despise us? Were we not the first to speak of restoring our king?” But the men of Judah pressed even harder than the men of Israel.
43以色列 人回答 犹大 人说：「按支派，我们与王有十分的情分；在 大卫 身上，我们也比你们更有情分。你们为何藐视我们，请王回来不先与我们商量呢？」 但 犹大 人的话比 以色列 人的话更硬。
