撒母耳记上 11
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
World English Bible
1亚扪 人 的王 拿辖 上来,对着 基列·雅比 安营。 雅比 众人对 拿辖 说:「你与我们立约,我们就服事你。」
1Then Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh Gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.”
2亚扪 人 拿辖 说:「你们若由我剜出你们各人的右眼,以此凌辱 以色列 众人,我就与你们立约。」
2Nahash the Ammonite said to them, “On this condition I will make it with you, that all your right eyes be gouged out. I will make this dishonor all Israel.”
3雅比 的长老对他说:「求你宽容我们七日,等我们打发人往 以色列 的全境去;若没有人救我们,我们就出来归顺你。」
3The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you.”
4使者到了 扫罗 住的 基比亚 ,将这话说给百姓听,百姓就都放声而哭。
4Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people, then all the people lifted up their voice and wept.
5扫罗 正从田间赶牛回来,问说:「百姓为什么哭呢?」众人将 雅比 人的话告诉他。
5Behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, “What ails the people that they weep?” They told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
6扫罗 听见这话,就被 神的灵大大感动,甚是发怒。
6God’s Spirit came mightily on Saul when he heard those words, and his anger burned hot.
7他将一对牛切成块子,托付使者传送 以色列 的全境,说:「凡不出来跟随 扫罗 和 撒母耳 的,也必这样切开他的牛。」于是耶和华使百姓惧怕,他们就都出来,如同一人。
7He took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, then sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, “Whoever doesn’t come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” The dread of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
8扫罗 在 比色 数点他们: 以色列 人有三十万, 犹大 人有三万。
8He counted them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
9众人对那使者说:「你们要回复 基列·雅比 人说,明日太阳近午的时候,你们必得解救。」使者回去告诉 雅比 人,他们就欢喜了。
9They said to the messengers who came, “Tell the men of Jabesh Gilead, ‘Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will be rescued.’” The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
10于是 雅比 人对 亚扪 人说:「明日我们出来归顺你们,你们可以随意待我们。」
10Therefore the men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you.”
11第二日, 扫罗 将百姓分为三队,在晨更的时候入了 亚扪 人的营,击杀他们直到太阳近午,剩下的人都逃散,没有二人同在一处的。
11On the next day, Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the middle of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day. Those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
12百姓对 撒母耳 说:「那说『 扫罗 岂能管理我们』的是谁呢?可以将他交出来,我们好杀死他。」
12The people said to Samuel, “Who is he who said, ‘Shall Saul reign over us?’ Bring those men, that we may put them to death!”
13扫罗 说:「今日耶和华在 以色列 中施行拯救,所以不可杀人。」
13Saul said, “No man shall be put to death today; for today the LORD has rescued Israel.”
14撒母耳 对百姓说:「我们要往 吉甲 去,在那里立国。」
14Then Samuel said to the people, “Come! Let’s go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.”
15众百姓就到了 吉甲 那里,在耶和华面前立 扫罗 为王,又在耶和华面前献平安祭。 扫罗 和 以色列 众人大大欢喜。
15All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
