撒母耳记上 9
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1有一个 便雅悯 人，名叫 基士 ，是 便雅悯 人 亚斐亚 的玄孙， 比歌拉 的曾孙， 洗罗 的孙子， 亚别 的儿子，是个大能的勇士。
1Now I there was a man of Benjamin whose name was Cis, the son of Abiel, the son of Seror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphia, the son of a man of Jemini, valiant and strong.
2他有一个儿子，名叫 扫罗 ，又健壮、又俊美，在 以色列 人中没有一个能比他的；身体比众民高过一头。
2And he had a son whose name was Saul, a choice and goodly man, and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he appeared above all the people.
3扫罗 的父亲 基士 丢了几头驴，他就吩咐儿子 扫罗 说：「你带一个仆人去寻找驴。」
3And the asses of Cis, Sauls father, were lost: and Cis said to his son Saul: Take one of the servants with thee, and arise, go, and seek the asses. And when they had passed through mount Ephraim,
4扫罗 就走过 以法莲 山地，又过 沙利沙 地，都没有找着；又过 沙琳 地，驴也不在那里；又过 便雅悯 地，还没有找着。
4And through the land of Salisa, and had not found them, they passed also through the land of Salim, and they were not there: and through the land of Jemini, and found them not.
5到了 苏弗 地， 扫罗 对跟随他的仆人说：「我们不如回去，恐怕我父亲不为驴挂心，反为我们担忧。」
5And when they were come to the land of Suph, Saul said to the servant that was with him: Come, let us return, lest perhaps my father forget the asses, and be concerned for us.
6仆人说：「这城里有一位神人，是众人所尊重的，凡他所说的全都应验。我们不如往他那里去，或者他能将我们当走的路指示我们。」
6And he said to him: Behold there is a man of God in this city, a famous man: all that he saith, cometh certainly to pass. Now therefore let us go thither, perhaps he may tell us of our way, for which we are come.
7扫罗 对仆人说：「我们若去，有什么可以送那人呢？我们囊中的食物都吃尽了，也没有礼物可以送那神人，我们还有什么没有？」
7And Saul said to his servant: Behold we will go: but what shall we carry to the man of God? the bread is spent in our bags: and we have no present to make to the man of God, nor any thing at all.
8仆人回答 扫罗 说：「我手里有银子一舍客勒的四分之一，可以送那神人，请他指示我们当走的路。」（
8The servant answered Saul again, and said: Behold there is found in my hand the fourth part of a sicle of silver, let us give it to the man of God, that he may tell us our way.
9从前 以色列 中，若有人去问 神，就说：「我们问先见去吧！」现在称为「先知」的，从前称为「先见」。）
9Now in time past, in Israel when a man went to consult God he spoke thus: Come, let us go to the seer. For he that is now called a prophet, in time past was called a seer.
10扫罗 对仆人说：「你说的是，我们可以去。」于是他们往神人所住的城里去了。
10And Saul said to his servant: Thy word is very good, come, let us go. And they went into the city, where the man of God was.
11他们上坡要进城，就遇见几个少年女子出来打水，问她们说：「先见在这里没有？」
11And when they went up the ascent to the city, they found maids coming out to draw water, and they said to them: Is the seer here?
12女子回答说：「在这里，他在你们前面。快去吧！他今日正到城里，因为今日百姓要在邱坛献祭。
12They answered and said to them: He is: behold he is before you, make haste now: for he came today into the city, for there is a sacrifice of the people today in the high place.
13在他还没有上邱坛吃祭物之先，你们一进城必遇见他；因他未到，百姓不能吃，必等他先祝祭，然后请的客才吃。现在你们上去，这时候必遇见他。」
13As soon as you come into the city, you shall immediately find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat till he come: because he blesseth the victim, and afterwards they eat that are invited. Now therefore go up, for today you shall find him.
14二人就上去；将进城的时候， 撒母耳 正迎着他们来，要上邱坛去。
14And they went up into the city. And when they were walking in the midst of the city, behold Samuel was coming out over against them, to go up to the high place.
15扫罗 未到的前一日，耶和华已经指示 撒母耳 说：
15Now the Lord had revealed to the ear of Samuel the day before Saul came, saying:
16「明日这时候，我必使一个人从 便雅悯 地到你这里来，你要膏他作我民 以色列 的君。他必救我民脱离 非利士 人的手；因我民的哀声上达于我，我就眷顾他们。」
16Tomorrow about this same hour I will send thee a man of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be ruler over my people Israel: and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked down upon my people, because their cry is come to me.
17撒母耳 看见 扫罗 的时候，耶和华对他说：「看哪，这人就是我对你所说的，他必治理我的民。」
17And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him: Behold the man, of whom I spoke to thee, this man shall reign over my people.
18扫罗 在城门里走到 撒母耳 跟前，说：「请告诉我，先见的寓所在哪里？」
18And Saul came to Samuel in the midst of the gate and said: Tell me, I pray thee, where is the house of the seer?
19撒母耳 回答说：「我就是先见。你在我前面上邱坛去，因为你们今日必与我同席；明日早晨我送你去，将你心里的事都告诉你。
19And Samuel answered Saul, saying: I am the seer, go up before me to the high place, that you may eat with me today, and I will let thee go in the morning: and tell thee all that is in thy heart.
20至于你前三日所丢的那几头驴，你心里不必挂念，已经找着了。 以色列 众人所仰慕的是谁呢？不是仰慕你和你父的全家吗？」
20And as for the asses, which were lost three days ago, be not solicitous, because they are found. And for whom shall be all the best things of Israel? Shall they not be for thee and for all thy father’s house?
21扫罗 说：「我不是 以色列 支派中至小的 便雅悯 人吗？我家不是 便雅悯 支派中至小的家吗？你为何对我说这样的话呢？」
21And Saul answering, said: Am not I a son of Jemini of the least tribe of Israel, and my kindred the last among all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then hast thou spoken this word to me?
22撒母耳 领 扫罗 和他仆人进了客堂，使他们在请来的客中坐首位；客约有三十个人。
22Then Samuel taking Saul and his servant, brought them into the parlour, and gave them a place at the head of them that were invited. For there were about thirty men.
23撒母耳 对厨役说：「我交给你收存的那一分 祭肉 现在可以拿来。」
23And Samuel said to the cook: Bring the portion, which I gave thee, and commanded thee to set it apart by thee.
24厨役就把收存的腿拿来，摆在 扫罗 面前， 撒母耳 说：「这是所留下的，放在你面前。吃吧！因我请百姓的时候，特意为你存留这肉到此时。」 当日， 扫罗 就与 撒母耳 同席。
24And the cook took up the shoulder, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said: Behold what is left, set it before thee, and eat: because it was kept of purpose for thee, when I invited the people. And Saul ate with Samuel that day.
25众人从邱坛下来进城， 撒母耳 和 扫罗 在房顶上说话。
25And they went down from the high place into the town, and he spoke with Saul upon the top of the house: and he prepared a bed for Saul on the top of the house, and he slept.
26次日清早起来，黎明的时候， 扫罗 在房顶上。 撒母耳 呼叫他说：「起来吧，我好送你回去。」 扫罗 就起来，和 撒母耳 一同出去。
26And when they were risen in the morning, and it began now to be light, Samuel called Saul on the top of the house, saying: Arise, that I may let thee go. And Saul arose: and they went out both of them, to wit, he and Samuel.
27二人下到城角， 撒母耳 对 扫罗 说：「要吩咐仆人先走（仆人就先走了）；你且站在这里，等我将 神的话传与你听。」
27And as they were going down in the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul: Speak to the servant to go before us, and pass on: but stand thou still a while, that I may tell thee the word of the Lord.
