撒母耳记上 20
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1大卫 从 拉玛 的 拿约 逃跑，来到 约拿单 那里，对他说：「我做了什么？有什么罪孽呢？在你父亲面前犯了什么罪，他竟寻索我的性命呢？」
1Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah. He came to Jonathan and asked, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? How have I sinned against your father, that he wants to take my life?”
2约拿单 回答说：「断然不是！你必不致死。我父做事，无论大小，没有不叫我知道的。怎么独有这事隐瞒我呢？决不如此。」
2“Far from it!” Jonathan replied. “You will not die. Indeed, my father does nothing, great or small, without telling me. So why would he hide this matter from me? This cannot be true!”
3大卫 又起誓说：「你父亲准知我在你眼前蒙恩。他心里说，不如不叫 约拿单 知道，恐怕他愁烦。我指着永生的耶和华，又敢在你面前起誓，我离死不过一步。」
3But David again vowed, “Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said, ‘Jonathan must not know of this, or he will be grieved.’ As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, there is but a step between me and death.”
4约拿单 对 大卫 说：「你心里所求的，我必为你成就。」
4Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you desire, I will do for you.”
5大卫 对 约拿单 说：「明日是初一，我当与王同席，求你容我去藏在田野，直到第三日晚上。
5So David told him, “Look, tomorrow is the New Moon, and I am supposed to dine with the king. Instead, let me go and hide in the field until the third evening from now.
6你父亲若见我不在席上，你就说：『 大卫 切求我许他回本城 伯利恒 去，因为他全家在那里献年祭。』
6If your father misses me at all, tell him, ‘David urgently requested my permission to hurry to Bethlehem, his hometown, because there is an annual sacrifice for his whole clan.’
7你父亲若说好，仆人就平安了；他若发怒，你就知道他决意要害我。
7If he says, ‘Good,’ then your servant is safe, but if he is enraged, you will know he has evil intentions.
8求你施恩与仆人，因你在耶和华面前曾与仆人结盟。我若有罪，不如你自己杀我，何必将我交给你父亲呢？」
8Therefore deal faithfully with your servant, for you have brought me into a covenant with you before the LORD. If there is iniquity in me, then kill me yourself; why should you bring me to your father?”
9约拿单 说：「断无此事！我若知道我父亲决意害你，我岂不告诉你呢？」
9“Never!” Jonathan replied. “If I ever found out that my father had evil intentions against you, would I not tell you?”
10大卫 对 约拿单 说：「你父亲若用厉言回答你，谁来告诉我呢？」
10Then David asked Jonathan, “Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?”
11约拿单 对 大卫 说：「你我且往田野去。」二人就往田野去了。
11“Come,” he replied, “let us go out to the field.” So the two of them went out into the field,
12约拿单 对 大卫 说：「愿耶和华— 以色列 的 神 为证 。明日约在这时候，或第三日，我探我父亲的意思，若向你有好意，我岂不打发人告诉你吗？
12and Jonathan said, “By the LORD, the God of Israel, I will sound out my father by this time tomorrow or the next day. If he is favorable toward you, will I not send for you and tell you?
13我父亲若有意害你，我不告诉你使你平平安安地走，愿耶和华重重地降罚与我。愿耶和华与你同在，如同从前与我父亲同在一样。
13But if my father intends to bring evil on you, then may the LORD punish me, and ever so severely, if I do not tell you and send you on your way in safety. May the LORD be with you, just as He has been with my father.
14你要照耶和华的慈爱恩待我，不但我活着的时候免我死亡，
14And as long as I live, treat me with the LORD’s loving devotion, that I may not die,
15就是我死后，耶和华从地上剪除你仇敌的时候，你也永不可向我家绝了恩惠。」
15and do not ever cut off your loving devotion from my household—not even when the LORD cuts off every one of David’s enemies from the face of the earth.”
16于是 约拿单 与 大卫 家结盟， 说 ：「愿耶和华借 大卫 的仇敌追讨 背约 的罪。」
16So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “May the LORD hold David’s enemies accountable.”
17约拿单 因爱 大卫 如同爱自己的性命，就使他再起誓。
17And Jonathan had David reaffirm his vow out of love for him, for Jonathan loved David as he loved himself.
18约拿单 对他说：「明日是初一，你的座位空设，人必理会你不在那里。
18Then Jonathan said to David, “Tomorrow is the New Moon, and you will be missed if your seat is empty.
19你等三日，就要速速下去，到你从前遇事所藏的地方，在 以色 磐石那里等候。
19When you have stayed three days, hurry down to the place you hid on the day this trouble began, and remain beside the stone Ezel.
20我要向磐石旁边射三箭，如同射箭靶一样。
20I will shoot three arrows to the side of it, as if I were aiming at a target.
21我要打发童子， 说 ：『去把箭找来。』我若对童子说：『箭在后头，把箭拿来』，你就可以回来；我指着永生的耶和华起誓，你必平安无事。
21Then I will send a boy and say, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ Now, if I expressly say to him, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; bring them,’ then come, because as surely as the LORD lives, it is safe for you and there is no danger.
22我若对童子说：『箭在前头』，你就要去，因为是耶和华打发你去的。
22But if I say to the young man, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,’ then you must go, for the LORD has sent you away.
23至于你我今日所说的话，有耶和华在你我中间 为证 ，直到永远。」
23And as for the matter you and I have discussed, the LORD is a witness between you and me forever.”
24大卫 就去藏在田野。到了初一日，王坐席要吃饭。
24So David hid in the field, and when the New Moon had come, the king sat down to eat.
25王照常坐在靠墙的位上， 约拿单 侍立， 押尼珥 坐在 扫罗 旁边， 大卫 的座位空设。
25He sat in his usual place by the wall, opposite Jonathan and beside Abner, but David’s place was empty.
26然而这日 扫罗 没有说什么，他想 大卫 遇事，偶染不洁，他必定是不洁。
26Saul said nothing that day because he thought, “Something has happened to David to make him ceremonially unclean—surely he is unclean.”
27初二日 大卫 的座位还空设。 扫罗 问他儿子 约拿单 说：「 耶西 的儿子为何昨日、今日没有来吃饭呢？」
27But on the day after the New Moon, the second day, David’s place was still empty, and Saul asked his son Jonathan, “Why hasn’t the son of Jesse come to the meal either yesterday or today?”
28约拿单 回答 扫罗 说：「 大卫 切求我容他往 伯利恒 去。
28Jonathan answered, “David urgently requested my permission to go to Bethlehem,
29他说：『求你容我去，因为我家在城里有献祭的事；我长兄吩咐我去。如今我若在你眼前蒙恩，求你容我去见我的弟兄』；所以 大卫 没有赴王的席。」
29saying, ‘Please let me go, because our clan is holding a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has told me to be there. So now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go and see my brothers.’ That is why he did not come to the king’s table.”
30扫罗 向 约拿单 发怒，对他说：「你这顽梗背逆之妇人所生的，我岂不知道你喜悦 耶西 的儿子，自取羞辱，以致你母亲露体蒙羞吗？
30Then Saul’s anger burned against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the disgrace of the mother who bore you?
31耶西 的儿子若在世间活着，你和你的国位必站立不住。现在你要打发人去，将他捉拿交给我；他是该死的。」
31For as long as the son of Jesse lives on this earth, neither you nor your kingship shall be established. Now send for him and bring him to me, for he must surely die!”
32约拿单 对父亲 扫罗 说：「他为什么该死呢？他做了什么呢？」
32“Why must he be put to death?” Jonathan replied. “What has he done?”
33扫罗 向 约拿单 抡枪要刺他， 约拿单 就知道他父亲决意要杀 大卫 。
33Then Saul hurled his spear at Jonathan to kill him; so Jonathan knew that his father was determined to kill David.
34于是 约拿单 气忿忿地从席上起来，在这初二日没有吃饭。他因见父亲羞辱 大卫 ，就为 大卫 愁烦。
34Jonathan got up from the table in fierce anger and did not eat any food that second day of the month, for he was grieved by his father’s shameful treatment of David.
35次日早晨， 约拿单 按着与 大卫 约会的时候出到田野，有一个童子跟随。
35In the morning Jonathan went out to the field for the appointment with David, and a small boy was with him.
36约拿单 对童子说：「你跑去，把我所射的箭找来。」童子跑去， 约拿单 就把箭射在童子前头。
36He said to the boy, “Run and find the arrows I shoot.” And as the boy ran, Jonathan shot an arrow beyond him.
37童子到了 约拿单 落箭之地， 约拿单 呼叫童子说：「箭不是在你前头吗？」
37When the boy reached the place where Jonathan’s arrow had fallen, Jonathan called to him, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?”
38约拿单 又呼叫童子说：「速速地去，不要迟延！」童子就拾起箭来，回到主人那里。
38Then Jonathan cried out, “Hurry! Make haste! Do not delay!” So the boy picked up the arrow and returned to his master.
39童子却不知道这是什么意思，只有 约拿单 和 大卫 知道。
39But the boy did not know anything; only Jonathan and David knew the arrangement.
40约拿单 将弓箭交给童子，吩咐说：「你拿到城里去。」
40Then Jonathan gave his equipment to the boy and said, “Go, take it back to the city.”
41童子一去， 大卫 就从 磐石 的南边出来，俯伏在地，拜了三拜；二人亲嘴，彼此哭泣， 大卫 哭得更恸。
41When the young man had gone, David got up from the south side of the stone, fell facedown, and bowed three times. Then he and Jonathan kissed each other and wept together—though David wept more.
42约拿单 对 大卫 说：「我们二人曾指着耶和华的名起誓说：『愿耶和华在你我中间，并你我后裔中间 为证 ，直到永远。』如今你平平安安地去吧！」 大卫 就起身走了； 约拿单 也回城里去了。
42And Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, for the two of us have sworn in the name of the LORD, saying, ‘May the LORD be a witness between you and me, and between your descendants and mine forever.’” Then David got up and departed, and Jonathan went back into the city.
