撒母耳记上 25
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
World English Bible
1撒母耳 死了， 以色列 众人聚集，为他哀哭，将他葬在 拉玛 —他自己的坟墓里。 大卫 起身，下到 巴兰 的旷野。
1Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together and mourned for him, and buried him at his house at Ramah. Then David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
2在 玛云 有一个人，他的产业在 迦密 ，是一个大富户，有三千绵羊，一千山羊；他正在 迦密 剪羊毛。
2There was a man in Maon whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats; and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
3那人名叫 拿八 ，是 迦勒 族的人；他的妻名叫 亚比该 ，是聪明俊美的妇人。 拿八 为人刚愎凶恶。
3Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail. This woman was intelligent and had a beautiful face; but the man was surly and evil in his doings. He was of the house of Caleb.
4大卫 在旷野听见说 拿八 剪羊毛，
4David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
5大卫 就打发十个仆人，吩咐他们说：「你们上 迦密 去见 拿八 ，提我的名问他安。
5David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
6要对那富户如此说：『愿你平安，愿你家平安，愿你一切所有的都平安。
6Tell him, ‘Long life to you! Peace be to you! Peace be to your house! Peace be to all that you have!
7现在我听说有人为你剪羊毛，你的牧人在 迦密 的时候和我们在一处，我们没有欺负他们，他们也未曾失落什么。
7Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds have now been with us, and we didn’t harm them. Nothing was missing from them all the time they were in Carmel.
8可以问你的仆人，他们必告诉你。所以愿我的仆人在你眼前蒙恩，因为是在好日子来的。求你随手取点赐与仆人和你儿子 大卫 。』」
8Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants and to your son David.’”
9大卫 的仆人到了，将这话提 大卫 的名都告诉了 拿八 ，就住了口。
9When David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal all those words in the name of David, and waited.
10拿八 回答 大卫 的仆人说：「 大卫 是谁？ 耶西 的儿子是谁？近来悖逆主人奔逃的仆人甚多，
10Nabal answered David’s servants and said, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters these days.
11我岂可将饮食和为我剪羊毛人所宰的肉给我不知道从哪里来的人呢？」
11Shall I then take my bread, my water, and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who I don’t know where they come from?”
12大卫 的仆人就转身从原路回去，照这话告诉 大卫 。
12So David’s young men turned on their way and went back, and came and told him all these words.
13大卫 向跟随他的人说：「你们各人都要带上刀！」众人就都带上刀， 大卫 也带上刀。跟随 大卫 上去的约有四百人，留下二百人看守器具。
13David said to his men, “Every man put on his sword!” Every man put on his sword. David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David, and two hundred stayed by the baggage.
14有 拿八 的一个仆人告诉 拿八 的妻 亚比该 说：「 大卫 从旷野打发使者来问我主人的安，主人却辱骂他们。
14But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master; and he insulted them.
15但是那些人待我们甚好；我们在田野与他们来往的时候，没有受他们的欺负，也未曾失落什么。
15But the men were very good to us, and we were not harmed, and we didn’t miss anything as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields.
16我们在他们那里牧羊的时候，他们昼夜作我们的保障。
16They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
17所以你当筹划，看怎样行才好；不然，祸患定要临到我主人和他全家。他性情凶暴，无人敢与他说话。」
17Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master and against all his house, for he is such a worthless fellow that one can’t speak to him.”
18亚比该 急忙将二百饼，两皮袋酒，五只收拾好了的羊，五细亚烘好了的穗子，一百葡萄饼，二百无花果饼，都驮在驴上，
18Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two containers of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five seahs of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.
19对仆人说：「你们前头走，我随着你们去。」这事她却没有告诉丈夫 拿八 。
19She said to her young men, “Go on before me. Behold, I am coming after you.” But she didn’t tell her husband, Nabal.
20亚比该 骑着驴，正下山坡，见 大卫 和跟随他的人从对面下来， 亚比该 就迎接他们。
20As she rode on her donkey, and came down hidden by the mountain, behold, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them.
21大卫 曾说：「我在旷野为那人看守所有的，以致他一样不失落，实在是徒然了！他向我以恶报善。
21Now David had said, “Surely in vain I have kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him. He has returned me evil for good.
22凡属 拿八 的男丁，我若留一个到明日早晨，愿 神重重降罚与我！」
22God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.”
23亚比该 见 大卫 ，便急忙下驴，在 大卫 面前脸伏于地叩拜，
23When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got off her donkey, and fell before David on her face and bowed herself to the ground.
24俯伏在 大卫 的脚前，说：「我主啊，愿这罪归我！求你容婢女向你进言，更求你听婢女的话。
24She fell at his feet and said, “On me, my lord, on me be the blame! Please let your servant speak in your ears. Hear the words of your servant.
25我主不要理这坏人 拿八 ，他的性情与他的名相称；他名叫 拿八 ，他为人果然愚顽。但我主所打发的仆人，婢女并没有看见。
25Please don’t let my lord pay attention to this worthless fellow, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your servant, didn’t see my lord’s young men whom you sent.
26我主啊，耶和华既然阻止你亲手报仇，取流血的罪，所以我指着永生的耶和华、又敢在你面前起誓说：『愿你的仇敌和谋害你的人都像 拿八 一样。』
26Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, since the LORD has withheld you from blood guiltiness and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies and those who seek evil to my lord be as Nabal.
27如今求你将婢女送来的礼物给跟随你的仆人。
27Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.
28求你饶恕婢女的罪过。耶和华必为我主建立坚固的家，因我主为耶和华争战；并且在你平生的日子查不出有什么过来。
28Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the LORD’s battles. Evil will not be found in you all your days.
29虽有人起来追逼你，寻索你的性命，你的性命却在耶和华—你的 神那里蒙保护，如包裹宝器一样；你仇敌的性命，耶和华必抛去，如用机弦甩石一样。
29Though men may rise up to pursue you and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord will be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies as from a sling’s pocket.
30我主现在若不亲手报仇流无辜人的血，到了耶和华照所应许你的话赐福与你，立你作 以色列 的王，那时我主必不至心里不安，觉得良心有亏。耶和华赐福与我主的时候，求你记念婢女。」
30It will come to pass, when the LORD has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you prince over Israel,
no verse 31 in this text
31that this shall be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. When the LORD has dealt well with my lord, then remember your servant.”
32大卫 对 亚比该 说：「耶和华— 以色列 的 神是应当称颂的，因为他今日使你来迎接我。
32David said to Abigail, “Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you today to meet me!
33你和你的见识也当称赞；因为你今日拦阻我亲手报仇、流人的血。
33Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, who have kept me today from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.
34我指着阻止我加害于你的耶和华— 以色列 永生的 神起誓，你若不速速地来迎接我，到明日早晨，凡属 拿八 的男丁必定不留一个。」
34For indeed, as the LORD the God of Israel lives, who has withheld me from harming you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn’t have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.”
35大卫 受了 亚比该 送来的礼物，就对她说：「我听了你的话，准了你的情面，你可以平平安安地回家吧！」
35So David received from her hand that which she had brought him. Then he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. Behold, I have listened to your voice and have granted your request.”
36亚比该 到 拿八 那里，见他在家里设摆筵席，如同王的筵席； 拿八 快乐大醉。 亚比该 无论大小事都没有告诉他，就等到次日早晨。
36Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house like the feast of a king. Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore she told him nothing until the morning light.
37到了早晨， 拿八 醒了酒，他的妻将这些事都告诉他，他就魂不附体，身僵如石头一般。
37In the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
38过了十天，耶和华击打 拿八 ，他就死了。
38About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal, so that he died.
39大卫 听见 拿八 死了，就说：「应当称颂耶和华，因他伸了 拿八 羞辱我的冤，又阻止仆人行恶；也使 拿八 的恶归到 拿八 的头上。」于是 大卫 打发人去，与 亚比该 说，要娶她为妻。
39When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed is the LORD, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil. The LORD has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head.” David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to himself as wife.
40大卫 的仆人到了 迦密 见 亚比该 ，对她说：「 大卫 打发我们来见你，想要娶你为妻。」
40When David’s servants had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, to take you to him as wife.”
41亚比该 就起来，俯伏在地，说：「我情愿作婢女，洗我主仆人的脚。」
41She arose and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, “Behold, your servant is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”
42亚比该 立刻起身，骑上驴，带着五个使女，跟从 大卫 的使者去了，就作了 大卫 的妻。
42Abigail hurriedly arose and rode on a donkey with her five maids who followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
43大卫 先娶了 耶斯列 人 亚希暖 ，她们二人都作了他的妻。
43David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they both became his wives.
44扫罗 已将他的女儿 米甲 ，就是 大卫 的妻，给了 迦琳 人 拉亿 的儿子 帕提 为妻。
44Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
