撒母耳記上 13
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1掃羅 登基年 四十歲 ；作 以色列 王二年的時候，
1Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years.
2就從 以色列 中揀選了三千人：二千跟隨 掃羅 在 密抹 和 伯特利 山，一千跟隨 約拿單 在 便雅憫 的 基比亞 ；其餘的人 掃羅 都打發各回各家去了。
2Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the Mount of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. He sent the rest of the people to their own tents.
3約拿單 攻擊在 迦巴 的 非利士 人的防營， 非利士 人聽見了。 掃羅 就在遍地吹角，意思說，要使 希伯來 人聽見。
3Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!”
4以色列 眾人聽見 掃羅 攻擊 非利士 人的防營，又聽見 以色列 人為 非利士 人所憎惡，就跟隨 掃羅 聚集在 吉甲 。
4All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was considered an abomination to the Philistines. The people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
5非利士 人聚集，要與 以色列 人爭戰，有車三萬輛，馬兵六千，步兵像海邊的沙那樣多，就上來在 伯‧亞文 東邊的 密抹 安營。
5The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel: thirty thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. They came up and encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven.
6以色列 百姓見自己危急窘迫，就藏在山洞、叢林、石穴、隱密處，和坑中。
6When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in tombs, and in pits.
7有些 希伯來 人過了 約旦河 ，逃到 迦得 和 基列 地。 掃羅 還是在 吉甲 ，百姓都戰戰兢兢地跟隨他。
7Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
8掃羅 照着 撒母耳 所定的日期等了七日。 撒母耳 還沒有來到 吉甲 ，百姓也離開 掃羅 散去了。
8He stayed seven days, according to the time set by Samuel; but Samuel didn’t come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him.
9掃羅 說：「把燔祭和平安祭帶到我這裏來。」 掃羅 就獻上燔祭。
9Saul said, “Bring the burnt offering to me here, and the peace offerings.” He offered the burnt offering.
10剛獻完燔祭， 撒母耳 就到了。 掃羅 出去迎接他，要問他好。
10It came to pass that as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
11撒母耳 說：「你做的是甚麼事呢？」 掃羅 說：「因為我見百姓離開我散去，你也不照所定的日期來到，而且 非利士 人聚集在 密抹 。
11Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you didn’t come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash,
12所以我心裏說：恐怕我沒有禱告耶和華。 非利士 人下到 吉甲 攻擊我，我就勉強獻上燔祭。」
12therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven’t entreated the favor of the LORD.’ I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.”
13撒母耳 對 掃羅 說：「你做了糊塗事了，沒有遵守耶和華－你上帝所吩咐你的命令。若遵守，耶和華必在 以色列 中堅立你的王位，直到永遠。
13Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which he commanded you; for now the LORD would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.
14現在你的王位必不長久。耶和華已經尋着一個合他心意的人，立他作百姓的君，因為你沒有遵守耶和華所吩咐你的。」
14But now your kingdom will not continue. The LORD has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and the LORD has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which the LORD commanded you.”
15撒母耳 就起來，從 吉甲 上到 便雅憫 的 基比亞 。 掃羅 數點跟隨他的，約有六百人。
15Samuel arose, and went from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. Saul counted the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.
16掃羅 和他兒子 約拿單 ，並跟隨他們的人，都住在 便雅憫 的 迦巴 ；但 非利士 人安營在 密抹 。
16Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
17有掠兵從 非利士 營中出來，分為三隊：一隊往 俄弗拉 向 書亞 地去，
17The raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;
18一隊往 伯‧和崙 去，一隊往 洗波音谷 對面的地境向曠野去。
18another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looks down on the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19那時， 以色列 全地沒有一個鐵匠；因為 非利士 人說，恐怕 希伯來 人製造刀槍。
19Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears”;
20以色列 人要磨鋤、犂、斧、鏟，就下到 非利士 人那裏去磨。
20but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, each man to sharpen his own plowshare, mattock, ax, and sickle.
21但有銼可以銼鏟、犂、三齒叉、斧子，並趕牛錐。
21The price was one payim each to sharpen mattocks, plowshares, pitchforks, axes, and goads.
22所以到了爭戰的日子，跟隨 掃羅 和 約拿單 的人沒有一個手裏有刀有槍的，惟獨 掃羅 和他兒子 約拿單 有。
22So it came to pass in the day of battle that neither sword nor spear was found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.
23非利士 人的一隊防兵到了 密抹 的隘口。
23The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
