撒母耳记下 20
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
World English Bible
1在那里恰巧有一个匪徒，名叫 示巴 ，是 便雅悯 人 比基利 的儿子。他吹角，说：「我们与 大卫 无分，与 耶西 的儿子无涉。 以色列 人哪，你们各回各家去吧！」
1There happened to be there a wicked fellow, whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet, and said, “We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel!”
2于是 以色列 人都离开 大卫 ，跟随 比基利 的儿子 示巴 。但 犹大 人从 约旦河 直到 耶路撒冷 ，都紧紧跟随他们的王。
2So all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah joined with their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.
3大卫 王来到 耶路撒冷 ，进了宫殿，就把从前留下看守宫殿的十个妃嫔禁闭在 冷宫 ，养活她们，不与她们亲近。她们如同寡妇被禁，直到死的日子。
3David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in custody and provided them with sustenance, but didn’t go in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
4王对 亚玛撒 说：「你要在三日之内将 犹大 人招聚了来，你也回到这里来。」
4Then the king said to Amasa, “Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be here present.”
5亚玛撒 就去招聚 犹大 人，却耽延过了王所限的日期。
5So Amasa went to call the men of Judah together, but he stayed longer than the set time which had been appointed to him.
6大卫 对 亚比筛 说：「现在恐怕 比基利 的儿子 示巴 加害于我们比 押沙龙 更甚。你要带领你主的仆人追赶他，免得他得了坚固城，躲避我们。」
6David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your lord’s servants and pursue after him, lest he get himself fortified cities, and escape out of our sight.”
7约押 的人和 基利提 人、 比利提 人，并所有的勇士，都跟着 亚比筛 ，从 耶路撒冷 出去追赶 比基利 的儿子 示巴 。
7Joab’s men went out after him with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men; and they went out of Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
8他们到了 基遍 的大磐石那里， 亚玛撒 来迎接他们。那时 约押 穿着战衣，腰束佩刀的带子，刀在鞘内； 约押 前行，刀从鞘内掉出来。
8When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Joab was clothed in his apparel of war that he had put on, and on it was a sash with a sword fastened on his waist in its sheath; and as he went along it fell out.
9约押 左手拾起刀来 ，对 亚玛撒 说：「我兄弟，你好啊！」就用右手抓住 亚玛撒 的胡子，要与他亲嘴。
9Joab said to Amasa, “Is it well with you, my brother?” Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
10亚玛撒 没有防备 约押 手里所拿的刀； 约押 用刀刺入他的肚腹，他的肠子流在地上，没有再刺他，就死了。 约押 和他兄弟 亚比筛 往前追赶 比基利 的儿子 示巴 。
10But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand. So he struck him with it in the body and shed out his bowels to the ground, and didn’t strike him again; and he died. Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.
11有 约押 的一个少年人站在 亚玛撒 尸身旁边， 对众人 说：「谁喜悦 约押 ，谁归顺 大卫 ，就当跟随 约押 去。」
11One of Joab’s young men stood by him, and said, “He who favors Joab, and he who is for David, let him follow Joab!”
12亚玛撒 在道路上滚在自己的血里。那人见众民 经过 都站住，就把 亚玛撒 的尸身从路上挪到田间，用衣服遮盖。
12Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the highway. When the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a garment over him when he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.
13尸身从路上挪移之后，众民就都跟随 约押 去追赶 比基利 的儿子 示巴 。
13When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
14他走遍 以色列 各支派，直到 伯·玛迦 的 亚比拉 ，并 比利 人的全地；那些地方的人也都聚集跟随他。
14He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, to Beth Maacah, and all the Berites. They were gathered together, and went also after him.
15约押 和跟随的人到了 伯·玛迦 的 亚比拉 ，围困 示巴 ，就对着城筑垒；跟随 约押 的众民 用锤 撞城，要使城塌陷。
15They came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah, and they cast up a mound against the city, and it stood against the rampart; and all the people who were with Joab battered the wall to throw it down.
16有一个聪明妇人从城上呼叫说：「听啊，听啊，请 约押 近前来，我好与他说话。」
16Then a wise woman cried out of the city, “Hear, hear! Please say to Joab, ‘Come near here, that I may speak with you.’”
17约押 就近前来，妇人问他说：「你是 约押 不是？」他说：「我是。」妇人说：「求你听婢女的话。」 约押 说：「我听。」
17He came near to her; and the woman said, “Are you Joab?” He answered, “I am.” Then she said to him, “Hear the words of your servant.” He answered, “I’m listening.”
18妇人说：「古时有话说，当先在 亚比拉 求问，然后事就定妥。
18Then she spoke, saying, “They used to say in old times, ‘They shall surely ask counsel at Abel,’ and so they settled a matter.
19我们这城的人在 以色列 人中是和平、忠厚的。你为何要毁坏 以色列 中的大城，吞灭耶和华的产业呢？」
19I am among those who are peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why will you swallow up the LORD’s inheritance?”
20约押 回答说：「我决不吞灭毁坏，
20Joab answered, “Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
21乃因 以法莲 山地的一个人— 比基利 的儿子 示巴 —举手攻击 大卫 王，你们若将他一人交出来，我便离城而去。」妇人对 约押 说：「那人的首级必从城墙上丢给你。」
21The matter is not so. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David. Just deliver him, and I will depart from the city.” The woman said to Joab, “Behold, his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”
22妇人就凭她的智慧去劝众人。他们便割下 比基利 的儿子 示巴 的首级，丢给 约押 。 约押 吹角，众人就离城而散，各归各家去了。 约押 回 耶路撒冷 ，到王那里。
22Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. They cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. He blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. Then Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
23约押 作 以色列 全军的元帅； 耶何耶大 的儿子 比拿雅 统辖 基利提 人和 比利提 人；
23Now Joab was over all the army of Israel, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites,
24亚多兰 掌管服苦的人； 亚希律 的儿子 约沙法 作史官；
24Adoram was over the men subject to forced labor, Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder,
25示法 作书记； 撒督 和 亚比亚他 作祭司 长 ；
25Sheva was scribe, Zadok and Abiathar were priests,
26睚珥 人 以拉 作 大卫 的宰相。
26and Ira the Jairite was chief minister to David.
