撒母耳記上 11
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1亞捫 人 的王 拿轄 上來，對着 基列‧雅比 安營。 雅比 眾人對 拿轄 說：「你與我們立約，我們就服事你。」
1Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
2亞捫 人 拿轄 說：「你們若由我剜出你們各人的右眼，以此凌辱 以色列 眾人，我就與你們立約。」
2And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.
3雅比 的長老對他說：「求你寬容我們七日，等我們打發人往 以色列 的全境去；若沒有人救我們，我們就出來歸順你。」
3And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days’ respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee.
4使者到了 掃羅 住的 基比亞 ，將這話說給百姓聽，百姓就都放聲而哭。
4¶ Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
5掃羅 正從田間趕牛回來，問說：「百姓為甚麼哭呢？」眾人將 雅比 人的話告訴他。
5And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
6掃羅 聽見這話，就被上帝的靈大大感動，甚是發怒。
6And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.
7他將一對牛切成塊子，託付使者傳送 以色列 的全境，說：「凡不出來跟隨 掃羅 和 撒母耳 的，也必這樣切開他的牛。」於是耶和華使百姓懼怕，他們就都出來，如同一人。
7And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
8掃羅 在 比色 數點他們： 以色列 人有三十萬， 猶大 人有三萬。
8And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
9眾人對那使者說：「你們要回覆 基列‧雅比 人說，明日太陽近午的時候，你們必得解救。」使者回去告訴 雅比 人，他們就歡喜了。
9And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
10於是 雅比 人對 亞捫 人說：「明日我們出來歸順你們，你們可以隨意待我們。」
10Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you.
11第二日， 掃羅 將百姓分為三隊，在晨更的時候入了 亞捫 人的營，擊殺他們直到太陽近午，剩下的人都逃散，沒有二人同在一處的。
11And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
12百姓對 撒母耳 說：「那說『 掃羅 豈能管理我們』的是誰呢？可以將他交出來，我們好殺死他。」
12¶ And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.
13掃羅 說：「今日耶和華在 以色列 中施行拯救，所以不可殺人。」
13And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.
14撒母耳 對百姓說：「我們要往 吉甲 去，在那裏立國。」
14Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
15眾百姓就到了 吉甲 那裏，在耶和華面前立 掃羅 為王，又在耶和華面前獻平安祭。 掃羅 和 以色列 眾人大大歡喜。
15And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD ; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
