列王紀上 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1大衛 王年紀老邁，雖用被遮蓋，仍不覺暖。
1Now King David was old and well along in years, and though they covered him with blankets, he could not keep warm.
2所以臣僕對他說：「不如為我主我王尋找一個處女，使她伺候王，奉養王，睡在王的懷中，好叫我主我王得暖。」
2So his servants said to him, “Let us search for a young virgin for our lord the king, to attend to him and care for him and lie by his side to keep him warm.”
3於是在 以色列 全境尋找美貌的童女，尋得 書念 的一個童女 亞比煞 ，就帶到王那裏。
3Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful girl, and they found Abishag the Shunammite and brought her to the king.
4這童女極其美貌，她奉養王，伺候王，王卻沒有與她親近。
4The girl was unsurpassed in beauty; she cared for the king and served him, but he had no relations with her.
5那時， 哈及 的兒子 亞多尼雅 自尊，說：「我必作王」，就為自己預備車輛、馬兵，又派五十人在他前頭奔走。
5At that time Adonijah, David’s son by Haggith, began to exalt himself, saying, “I will be king!” And he acquired chariots and horsemen and fifty men to run ahead of him.
6他父親素來沒有使他憂悶，說：「你是做甚麼呢？」他甚俊美，生在 押沙龍 之後。
6(His father had never once reprimanded him by saying, “Why do you act this way?” Adonijah was also very handsome, born next after Absalom.)
7亞多尼雅 與 洗魯雅 的兒子 約押 ，和祭司 亞比亞他 商議；二人就順從他，幫助他。
7So Adonijah conferred with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, who supported him.
8但祭司 撒督 、 耶何耶大 的兒子 比拿雅 、先知 拿單 、 示每 、 利以 ，並 大衛 的勇士都不順從 亞多尼雅 。
8But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David’s mighty men would not join Adonijah.
9一日， 亞多尼雅 在 隱‧羅結 旁、 瑣希列 磐石那裏宰了牛羊、肥犢，請他的諸弟兄，就是王的眾子，並所有作王臣僕的 猶大 人；
9And Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened calves near the stone of Zoheleth, which is next to En-rogel. He invited all his royal brothers and all the men of Judah who were servants of the king.
10惟獨先知 拿單 和 比拿雅 並勇士，與他的兄弟 所羅門 ，他都沒有請。
10But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or his brother Solomon.
11拿單 對 所羅門 的母親 拔示巴 說：「 哈及 的兒子 亞多尼雅 作王了，你沒有聽見嗎？我們的主 大衛 卻不知道。
11Then Nathan said to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, “Have you not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has become king, and our lord David does not know it?
12現在我可以給你出個主意，好保全你和你兒子 所羅門 的性命。
12Now please, come and let me advise you. Save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.
13你進去見 大衛 王，對他說：『我主我王啊，你不曾向婢女起誓說：你兒子 所羅門 必接續我作王，坐在我的位上嗎？現在 亞多尼雅 怎麼作了王呢？』
13Go at once to King David and say, ‘My lord the king, did you not swear to your maidservant, “Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne”? Why then has Adonijah become king?’
14你還與王說話的時候，我也隨後進去，證實你的話。」
14Then, while you are still there speaking with the king, I will come in after you and confirm your words.”
15拔示巴 進入內室見王，王甚老邁， 書念 的童女 亞比煞 正伺候王。
15So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. Since the king was very old, Abishag the Shunammite was serving him.
16拔示巴 向王屈身下拜；王說：「你要甚麼？」
16And Bathsheba bowed down in homage to the king, who asked, “What is your desire?”
17她說：「我主啊，你曾向婢女指着耶和華－你的上帝起誓 說 ：『你兒子 所羅門 必接續我作王，坐在我的位上。』
17“My lord,” she replied, “you yourself swore to your maidservant by the LORD your God: ‘Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne.’
18現在 亞多尼雅 作王了，我主我王卻不知道。
18But now, behold, Adonijah has become king, and you, my lord the king, did not know it.
19他宰了許多牛羊、肥犢，請了王的眾子和祭司 亞比亞他 ，並元帥 約押 ；惟獨王的僕人 所羅門 ，他沒有請。
19And he has sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the other sons of the king, as well as Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army. But he did not invite your servant Solomon.
20我主我王啊， 以色列 眾人的眼目都仰望你，等你曉諭他們，在我主我王之後誰坐你的位。
20And as for you, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon you to tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
21若不然，到我主我王與列祖同睡以後，我和我兒子 所羅門 必算為罪人了。」
21Otherwise, when my lord the king rests with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be counted as criminals.”
22拔示巴 還與王說話的時候，先知 拿單 也進來了。
22And just then, while Bathsheba was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.
23有人奏告王說：「先知 拿單 來了。」 拿單 進到王前，臉伏於地。
23So the king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” And Nathan went in and bowed facedown before the king.
24拿單 說：「我主我王果然應許 亞多尼雅 說『你必接續我作王，坐在我的位上』嗎？
24“My lord the king,” said Nathan, “did you say, ‘Adonijah will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne’?
25他今日下去，宰了許多牛羊、肥犢，請了王的眾子和軍長，並祭司 亞比亞他 ；他們正在 亞多尼雅 面前吃喝，說：『願 亞多尼雅 王萬歲！』
25For today he has gone down and sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the sons of the king, the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest. And behold, they are eating and drinking before him, saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
26惟獨我，就是你的僕人和祭司 撒督 ， 耶何耶大 的兒子 比拿雅 ，並王的僕人 所羅門 ，他都沒有請。
26But me your servant he did not invite, nor Zadok the priest, nor Benaiah son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon.
27這事果然出乎我主我王嗎？王卻沒有告訴僕人們，在我主我王之後誰坐你的位。」
27Has my lord the king let this happen without informing your servant who should sit on the throne after my lord the king?”
28大衛 王吩咐說：「叫 拔示巴 來。」 拔示巴 就進來，站在王面前。
28Then King David said, “Call in Bathsheba for me.” So she came into the king’s presence and stood before him.
29王起誓說：「我指着救我性命脫離一切苦難、永生的耶和華起誓。
29And the king swore an oath, saying, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,
30我既然指着耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝向你起誓說：你兒子 所羅門 必接續我作王，坐在我的位上。我今日就必照這話而行。」
30I will carry out this very day exactly what I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel: Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne in my place.”
31於是， 拔示巴 臉伏於地，向王下拜，說：「願我主 大衛 王萬歲！」
31Bathsheba bowed facedown in homage to the king and said, “May my lord King David live forever!”
32大衛 王又吩咐說：「將祭司 撒督 、先知 拿單 、 耶何耶大 的兒子 比拿雅 召來！」他們就都來到王面前。
32Then King David said, “Call in for me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” So they came before the king.
33王對他們說：「要帶領你們主的僕人，使我兒子 所羅門 騎我的騾子，送他下到 基訓 ；
33“Take my servants with you,” said the king. “Set my son Solomon on my own mule and take him down to Gihon.
34在那裏，祭司 撒督 和先知 拿單 要膏他作 以色列 的王；你們也要吹角，說：『願 所羅門 王萬歲！』
34There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet are to anoint him king over Israel. You are to blow the ram’s horn and declare, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
35然後要跟隨他上來，使他坐在我的位上，接續我作王。我已立他作 以色列 和 猶大 的君。」
35Then you shall go up with him, and he is to come and sit on my throne and reign in my place. For I have appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah.”
36耶何耶大 的兒子 比拿雅 對王說：「阿們！願耶和華－我主我王的上帝也這樣命定。
36“Amen,” replied Benaiah son of Jehoiada. “May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, so declare it.
37耶和華怎樣與我主我王同在，願他照樣與 所羅門 同在，使他的國位比我主 大衛 王的國位更大。」
37Just as the LORD was with my lord the king, so may He be with Solomon and make his throne even greater than that of my lord King David.”
38於是，祭司 撒督 、先知 拿單 、 耶何耶大 的兒子 比拿雅 ，和 基利提 人、 比利提 人都下去使 所羅門 騎 大衛 王的騾子，將他送到 基訓 。
38Then Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, went down and set Solomon on King David’s mule, and they escorted him to Gihon.
39祭司 撒督 就從帳幕中取了盛膏油的角來，用膏膏 所羅門 。人就吹角，眾民都說：「願 所羅門 王萬歲！」
39Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tabernacle and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the ram’s horn, and all the people proclaimed, “Long live King Solomon!”
40眾民跟隨他上來，且吹笛，大大歡呼，聲音震地。
40All the people followed him, playing flutes and rejoicing with such a great joy that the earth was split by the sound.
41亞多尼雅 和所請的眾客筵宴方畢，聽見這聲音； 約押 聽見角聲就說：「城中為何有這響聲呢？」
41Now Adonijah and all his guests were finishing their feast when they heard the sound of the ram’s horn. “Why is the city in such a loud uproar?” asked Joab.
42他正說話的時候，祭司 亞比亞他 的兒子 約拿單 來了。 亞多尼雅 對他說：「進來吧！你是個忠義的人，必是報好信息。」
42As he was speaking, suddenly Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest arrived. “Come in,” said Adonijah, “for you are a man of valor. You must be bringing good news.”
43約拿單 對 亞多尼雅 說：「我們的主 大衛 王誠然立 所羅門 為王了。
43“Not at all,” Jonathan replied. “Our lord King David has made Solomon king.
44王差遣祭司 撒督 、先知 拿單 、 耶何耶大 的兒子 比拿雅 ，和 基利提 人、 比利提 人都去使 所羅門 騎王的騾子。
44And with Solomon, the king has sent Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, and they have set him on the king’s mule.
45祭司 撒督 和先知 拿單 在 基訓 已經膏他作王。眾人都從那裏歡呼着上來，聲音使城震動，這就是你們所聽見的聲音；
45Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon, and they have gone up from there with rejoicing that rings out in the city. That is the noise you hear.
46並且 所羅門 登了國位。
46Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne.
47王的臣僕也來為我們的主 大衛 王祝福，說：『願王的上帝使 所羅門 的名比王的名更尊榮；使他的國位比王的國位更大。』王就在床上屈身下拜。
47The king’s servants have also gone to congratulate our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon more famous than your own name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne.’ And the king has bowed in worship on his bed,
48王又說：『耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝是應當稱頌的；因他賜我一人今日坐在我的位上，我也親眼看見了。』」
48saying, ‘Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel! Today He has provided one to sit on my throne, and my eyes have seen it.’”
49亞多尼雅 的眾客 聽見這話 就都驚懼，起來四散。
49At this, all the guests of Adonijah arose in terror and scattered.
50亞多尼雅 懼怕 所羅門 ，就起來，去抓住祭壇的角。
50But Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, got up and went to take hold of the horns of the altar.
51有人告訴 所羅門 說：「 亞多尼雅 懼怕 所羅門 王，現在抓住祭壇的角，說：『願 所羅門 王今日向我起誓，必不用刀殺僕人。』」
51It was reported to Solomon: “Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon, and he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon first swear to me not to put his servant to the sword.’”
52所羅門 說：「他若作忠義的人，連一根頭髮也不致落在地上；他若行惡，必要死亡。」
52And Solomon replied, “If he is a man of character, not a single hair of his will fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he will die.”
53於是 所羅門 王差遣人，使 亞多尼雅 從壇上下來，他就來，向 所羅門 王下拜； 所羅門 對他說：「你回家去吧！」
53So King Solomon summoned Adonijah down from the altar, and he came and bowed down before King Solomon, who said to him, “Go to your home.”
