撒母耳记下 15
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1此后， 押沙龙 为自己预备车马，又派五十人在他前头奔走。
1Some time later, Absalom provided for himself a chariot with horses and fifty men to run ahead of him.
2押沙龙 常常早晨起来，站在城门的道旁，凡有争讼要去求王判断的， 押沙龙 就叫他过来，问他说：「你是哪一城的人？」回答说：「仆人是 以色列 某支派的人。」
2He would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. Whenever anyone had a grievance to bring before the king for a decision, Absalom would call out and ask, “What city are you from?” And if he replied, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel,”
3押沙龙 对他说：「你的事有情有理，无奈王没有委人听你伸诉。」
3Absalom would say, “Look, your claims are good and right, but the king has no deputy to hear you.”
4押沙龙 又说：「恨不得我作国中的士师！凡有争讼求审判的到我这里来，我必秉公判断。」
4And he would add, “If only someone would appoint me judge in the land, then everyone with a grievance or dispute could come to me, and I would give him justice.”
5若有人近前来要拜 押沙龙 ， 押沙龙 就伸手拉住他，与他亲嘴。
5Also, when anyone approached to bow down to him, Absalom would reach out his hand, take hold of him, and kiss him.
6以色列 人中，凡去见王求判断的， 押沙龙 都是如此待他们。这样， 押沙龙 暗中得了 以色列 人的心。
6Absalom did this to all the Israelites who came to the king for justice. In this way he stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
7满了四十年， 押沙龙 对王说：「求你准我往 希伯 去，还我向耶和华所许的愿。
7After four years had passed, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go to Hebron to fulfill a vow I have made to the LORD.
8因为仆人住在 亚兰 的 基述 ，曾许愿说：『耶和华若使我再回 耶路撒冷 ，我必事奉他。』」
8For your servant made a vow while dwelling in Geshur of Aram, saying: ‘If indeed the LORD brings me back to Jerusalem, I will worship the LORD in Hebron.’”
9王说：「你平平安安地去吧！」 押沙龙 就起身，往 希伯 去了。
9“Go in peace,” said the king. So Absalom got up and went to Hebron.
10押沙龙 打发探子走遍 以色列 各支派，说：「你们一听见角声就说：『 押沙龙 在 希伯 作王了！』」
10Then Absalom sent spies throughout the tribes of Israel with this message: “When you hear the sound of the horn, you are to say, ‘Absalom reigns in Hebron!’”
11押沙龙 在 耶路撒冷 请了二百人与他同去，都是诚诚实实去的，并不知道其中的真情。
11Two hundred men from Jerusalem accompanied Absalom. They had been invited as guests and they went along innocently, for they knew nothing about the matter.
12押沙龙 献祭的时候，打发人去将 大卫 的谋士、 基罗 人 亚希多弗 从他本城请了来。于是叛逆的势派甚大；因为随从 押沙龙 的人民，日渐增多。
12While Absalom was offering the sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, to come from his hometown of Giloh. So the conspiracy gained strength, and Absalom’s following kept increasing.
13有人报告 大卫 说：「 以色列 人的心都归向 押沙龙 了！」
13Then a messenger came to David and reported, “The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom.”
14大卫 就对 耶路撒冷 跟随他的臣仆说：「我们要起来逃走，不然都不能躲避 押沙龙 了；要速速地去，恐怕他忽然来到，加害于我们，用刀杀尽合城的人。」
14And David said to all the servants with him in Jerusalem, “Arise and let us flee, or we will not escape from Absalom! We must leave quickly, or he will soon overtake us, heap disaster on us, and put the city to the sword.”
15王的臣仆对王说：「我主我王所定的，仆人都愿遵行。」
15The king’s servants replied, “Whatever our lord the king decides, we are your servants.”
16于是王带着全家的人出去了，但留下十个妃嫔看守宫殿。
16Then the king set out, and his entire household followed him. But he left behind ten concubines to take care of the palace.
17王出去，众民都跟随他，到 伯·墨哈 ，就住下了。
17So the king set out with all the people following him. He stopped at the last house,
18王的臣仆都在他面前过去。 基利提 人、 比利提 人，就是从 迦特 跟随王来的六百人，也都在他面前过去。
18and all his servants marched past him—all the Cherethites and Pelethites, and six hundred Gittites who had followed him from Gath.
19王对 迦特 人 以太 说：「你是外邦逃来的人，为什么与我们同去呢？你可以回去与 新 王同住， 或者回 你本地去吧！
19Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why should you also go with us? Go back and stay with the new king, since you are both a foreigner and an exile from your homeland.
20你来的日子不多，我今日怎好叫你与我们一同飘流、没有一定的住处呢？你不如带你的弟兄回去吧！ 愿耶和华 用慈爱诚实待你。」
20In fact, you arrived only yesterday; should I make you wander around with us today while I do not know where I am going? Go back and take your brothers with you. May the LORD show you loving devotion and faithfulness.”
21以太 对王说：「我指着永生的耶和华起誓，又敢在王面前起誓：无论生死，王在哪里，仆人也必在那里。」
21But Ittai answered the king, “As surely as the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king may be, whether it means life or death, there will your servant be!”
22大卫 对 以太 说：「你前去过 河 吧！」于是 迦特 人 以太 带着跟随他的人和所有的 妇人 孩子，就都过去了。
22“March on then,” said David to Ittai. So Ittai the Gittite marched past with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.
23本地的人都放声大哭。众民尽都过去，王也过了 汲沦溪 ；众民往旷野去了。
23Everyone in the countryside was weeping loudly as all the people passed by. And as the king crossed the Kidron Valley, all the people also passed toward the way of the wilderness.
24撒督 和抬 神约柜的 利未 人也一同来了，将 神的 约 柜放下。 亚比亚他 上来，等着众民从城里出来过去。
24Zadok was also there, and all the Levites with him were carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until the people had passed out of the city.
25王对 撒督 说：「你将 神的 约 柜抬回城去。我若在耶和华眼前蒙恩，他必使我回来，再见 约 柜和他的居所。
25Then the king said to Zadok, “Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, He will bring me back and let me see both it and His dwelling place again.
26倘若他说：『我不喜悦你』，看哪，我在这里，愿他凭自己的意旨待我！」
26But if He should say, ‘I do not delight in you,’ then here I am; let Him do to me whatever seems good to Him.”
27王又对祭司 撒督 说：「你不是先见吗？你可以安然回城；你儿子 亚希玛斯 和 亚比亚他 的儿子 约拿单 都可以与你同去。
27The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace—you with your son Ahimaaz, and Abiathar with his son Jonathan.
28我在旷野的渡口那里等你们报信给我。」
28See, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
29于是 撒督 和 亚比亚他 将 神的 约 柜抬回 耶路撒冷 ，他们就住在那里。
29So Zadok and Abiathar returned the ark of God to Jerusalem and stayed there.
30大卫 蒙头赤脚上 橄榄山 ，一面上一面哭。跟随他的人也都蒙头哭着上去；
30But David continued up the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went up. His head was covered, and he was walking barefoot. And all the people with him covered their heads and went up, weeping as they went.
31有人告诉 大卫 说：「 亚希多弗 也在叛党之中，随从 押沙龙 。」 大卫 祷告说：「耶和华啊，求你使 亚希多弗 的计谋变为愚拙！」
31Now someone told David: “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” So David pleaded, “O LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!”
32大卫 到了 山 顶、敬拜 神的地方，见 亚基 人 户筛 ，衣服撕裂，头蒙灰尘来迎接他。
32When David came to the summit, where he used to worship God, Hushai the Archite was there to meet him with his robe torn and dust on his head.
33大卫 对他说：「你若与我同去，必累赘我；
33David said to him, “If you go on with me, you will be a burden to me.
34你若回城去，对 押沙龙 说：『王啊，我愿作你的仆人；我向来作你父亲的仆人，现在我也照样作你的仆人。』这样，你就可以为我破坏 亚希多弗 的计谋。
34But you can thwart the counsel of Ahithophel for me if you return to the city and say to Absalom: ‘I will be your servant, my king; in the past I was your father’s servant, but now I will be your servant.’
35祭司 撒督 和 亚比亚他 岂不都在那里吗？你在王宫里听见什么，就要告诉祭司 撒督 和 亚比亚他 。
35Will not Zadok and Abiathar the priests be there with you? Report to them everything you hear from the king’s palace.
36撒督 的儿子 亚希玛斯 ， 亚比亚他 的儿子 约拿单 ，也都在那里。凡你们所听见的可以托这二人来报告我。」
36Indeed, their two sons, Ahimaaz son of Zadok and Jonathan son of Abiathar, are there with them. Send them to me with everything you hear.”
37于是， 大卫 的朋友 户筛 进了城； 押沙龙 也进了 耶路撒冷 。
37So David’s friend Hushai arrived in Jerusalem just as Absalom was entering the city.
