撒母耳記上 14
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1有一日， 掃羅 的兒子 約拿單 對拿他兵器的少年人說：「我們不如過到那邊，到 非利士 人的防營那裏去。」但他沒有告訴父親。
1Now it came to pass one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, which is on the other side of yonder place. But he told not this to his father.
2掃羅 在 基比亞 的儘邊，坐在 米磯崙 的石榴樹下，跟隨他的約有六百人。
2And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gabaa under the pomegranate tree, which was in Magron: and the people with him were about six hundred men.
3在那裏有 亞希突 的兒子 亞希亞 ，穿着以弗得。（ 亞希突 是 以迦博 的哥哥， 非尼哈 的兒子， 以利 的孫子。 以利 從前在 示羅 作耶和華的祭司。） 約拿單 去了，百姓卻不知道。
3And Achias the son of Achitob brother to Ichabod the son of Phinees, the son of Heli the priest of the Lord in Silo, wore the ephod. And the people knew not whither Jonathan was gone.
4約拿單 要從隘口過到 非利士 防營那裏去。這隘口兩邊各有一個山峰：一名 播薛 ，一名 西尼 ；
4Now there were between the ascents, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks standing up on both sides, and steep cliffs like teeth on the one side, and on the other, the name of the one was Boses, and the name of the other was Sene:
5一峰向北，與 密抹 相對，一峰向南，與 迦巴 相對。
5One rock stood out towards the north over against Machmas, and the other to the south over against Gabaa.
6約拿單 對拿兵器的少年人說：「我們不如過到未受割禮人的防營那裏去，或者耶和華為我們施展能力；因為耶和華使人得勝，不在乎人多人少。」
6And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be the Lord will do for us, because it is easy for the Lord to save either by many, or by few.
7拿兵器的對他說：「隨你的心意行吧。你可以上去，我必跟隨你，與你同心。」
7And his armourbearer said to him: Do all that pleaseth thy mind: go whither thou wilt, and I will be with thee wheresoever thou hast a mind.
8約拿單 說：「我們要過到那些人那裏去，使他們看見我們。
8And Jonathan said: Behold we will go over to these men. And when we shall be seen by them,
9他們若對我們說：『你們站住，等我們到你們那裏去』，我們就站住，不上他們那裏去。
9If they shall speak thus to us: Stay till we come to you: let us stand still in our place, and not go up to them.
10他們若說：『你們上到我們這裏來』，這話就是我們的證據；我們便上去，因為耶和華將他們交在我們手裏了。」
10But if they shall say: Come up to us: let us go up, because the Lord hath delivered them into our hands, this shall be a sign unto us.
11二人就使 非利士 的防兵看見。 非利士 人說：「 希伯來 人從所藏的洞穴裏出來了！」
11So both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said: Behold the Hebrews come forth out of the holes wherein they were hid.
12防兵對 約拿單 和拿兵器的人說：「你們上到這裏來，我們有一件事指示你們。」 約拿單 就對拿兵器的人說：「你跟隨我上去，因為耶和華將他們交在 以色列 人手裏了。」
12And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan, and to his armourbearer, and said: Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armourbearer: Let us go up, follow me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hands of Israel.
13約拿單 就爬上去，拿兵器的人跟隨他。 約拿單 殺倒 非利士 人，拿兵器的人也隨着殺他們。
13And Jonathan went up creeping on his hands and feet, and his armourbearer after him. And some fell before Jonathan, others his armourbearer slew as he followed him.
14約拿單 和拿兵器的人起頭所殺的約有二十人，都在一畝地的半犂溝之內。
14And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was of about twenty men, within half an acre of land, which a yoke of oxen is wont to plough in a day.
15於是在營中、在田野、在眾民內都有戰兢，防兵和掠兵也都戰兢，地也震動，戰兢之勢甚大。
15And there was a miracle in the camp, through the fields: yea and all the people of their garrison, who had gone out to plunder, were amazed, and the earth trembled: and it happened as a miracle from God.
16在 便雅憫 的 基比亞 ， 掃羅 的守望兵看見 非利士 的軍眾潰散，四圍亂竄。
16And the watchmen of Saul, who were in Gabaa of Benjamin looked, and behold a multitude overthrown, and fleeing this way and that.
17掃羅 就對跟隨他的民說：「你們查點查點，看從我們這裏出去的是誰？」他們一查點，就知道 約拿單 和拿兵器的人沒有在這裏。
17And Saul said to the people that were with him: Look, and see who is gone from us. And when they had sought, it was found that Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.
18那時上帝的 約 櫃在 以色列 人那裏。 掃羅 對 亞希亞 說：「你將上帝的 約 櫃運了來。」
18And Saul said to Achias: Bring the ark of the Lord. (For the ark of God was there that day with the children of Israel.)
19掃羅 正與祭司說話的時候， 非利士 營中的喧嚷越發大了； 掃羅 就對祭司說：「停手吧！」
19And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great uproar in the camp of the Philistines: and it increased by degrees, and was heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest: Draw in thy hand.
20掃羅 和跟隨他的人都聚集，來到戰場，看見 非利士 人用刀互相擊殺，大大惶亂。
20Then Saul and all the people that were with him, shouted together, and they came to the place of the fight: and behold every man’s sword was turned upon his neighbour, and there was a very great slaughter.
21從前由四方來跟隨 非利士 軍的 希伯來 人現在也轉過來，幫助跟隨 掃羅 和 約拿單 的 以色列 人了。
21Moreover the Hebrews that had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and went up with them into the camp, returned to be with the Israelites, who were with Saul and Jonathan.
22那藏在 以法蓮 山地的 以色列 人聽說 非利士 人逃跑，就出來緊緊地追殺他們。
22And all the Israelites that had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines fled, joined themselves with their countrymen in the fight. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men.
23那日，耶和華使 以色列 人得勝，一直戰到 伯‧亞文 。
23And the Lord saved Israel that day. And the fight went on as far as Bethaven.
24掃羅 叫百姓起誓說，凡不等到晚上向敵人報完了仇吃甚麼的，必受咒詛。因此這日百姓沒有吃甚麼，就極其困憊。
24And the men of Israel were joined together that day; and Saul adjured the people, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat food till evening, till I be revenged of my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food:
25眾民進入樹林，見有蜜在地上。
25And all the common people came into a forest, in which there was honey upon the ground.
26他們進了樹林，見有蜜流下來，卻沒有人敢用手 取蜜 入口，因為他們怕那誓言。
26And when the people came into the forest, behold the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth. For the people feared the oath.
27約拿單 沒有聽見他父親叫百姓起誓，所以伸手中的杖，用杖頭蘸在蜂房裏，轉手送入口內，眼睛就明亮了。
27But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people: and he put forth the end of the rod, which he had in his hand, and dipt it in a honeycomb: and he carried his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.
28百姓中有一人對他說：「你父親曾叫百姓嚴嚴地起誓說，今日吃甚麼的，必受咒詛；因此百姓就疲乏了。」
28And one of the people answering, said: Thy father hath bound the people with an oath, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat any food this day. (And the people were faint.)
29約拿單 說：「我父親連累你們了。你看，我嘗了這一點蜜，眼睛就明亮了。
29And Jonathan said: My father hath troubled the land: you have seen yourselves that my eyes are enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey:
30今日百姓若任意吃了從仇敵所奪的物，擊殺的 非利士 人豈不更多嗎？」
30How much more if the people had eaten of the prey of their enemies, which they found? had there not been made a greater slaughter among the Philistines?
31這日， 以色列 人擊殺 非利士 人，從 密抹 直到 亞雅崙 。百姓甚是疲乏，
31So they smote that day the Philistines from Machmas to Ailon. And the people were wearied exceedingly.
32就急忙將所奪的牛羊和牛犢宰於地上，肉還帶血就吃了。
32And falling upon the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people ate them with the blood.
33有人告訴 掃羅 說：「百姓吃帶血的肉，得罪耶和華了。」 掃羅 說：「你們有罪了，今日要將大石頭滾到我這裏來。」
33And they told Saul that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood. And he said: You have transgressed: roll here to me now a great stone.
34掃羅 又說：「你們散在百姓中，對他們說，你們各人將牛羊牽到我這裏來宰了吃，不可吃帶血的肉得罪耶和華。」這夜，百姓就把牛羊牽到那裏宰了。
34And Saul said: Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring me every man his ox and his ram, and slay them upon this stone, and eat, and you shall not sin against the Lord in eating with the blood. So all the people brought every man his ox with him till the night: and slew them there.
35掃羅 為耶和華築了一座壇，這是他初次為耶和華築的壇。
35And Saul built an altar to the Lord and he then first began to build an altar to the Lord.
36掃羅 說：「我們不如夜裏下去追趕 非利士 人，搶掠他們，直到天亮，不留他們一人。」眾民說：「你看怎樣好就去行吧！」祭司說：「我們先當親近上帝。」
36And Saul said: Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and destroy them till the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And the people said: Do all that seemeth good in thy eyes. And the priest said: Let us draw near hither unto God.
37掃羅 求問上帝說：「我下去追趕 非利士 人可以不可以？你將他們交在 以色列 人手裏不交？」這日上帝沒有回答他。
37And Saul consulted the Lord: Shall I pursue after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not that day.
38掃羅 說：「你們百姓中的長老都上這裏來，查明今日是誰犯了罪。
38And Saul said: Bring hither all the corners of the people: and know, and see by whom this sin hath happened today.
39我指着救 以色列 －永生的耶和華起誓，就是我兒子 約拿單 犯了罪，他也必死。」但百姓中無一人回答他。
39As the Lord liveth who is the saviour of Israel, if it was done by Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. In this none of the people gainsaid him.
40掃羅 就對 以色列 眾人說：「你們站在一邊，我與我兒子 約拿單 也站在一邊。」百姓對 掃羅 說：「你看怎樣好就去行吧！」
40And he said to all Israel: Be you on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people answered Saul: Do what seemeth good in thy eyes.
41掃羅 禱告耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝說：「求你指示實情。」於是 掣籤 掣出 掃羅 和 約拿單 來；百姓盡都無事。
41And Saul said to the Lord: O Lord God of Israel, give a sign, by which we may know, what the meaning is, that thou answerest not thy servant today. If this iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, give a proof: or if this iniquity be in thy people, give holiness. And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.
42掃羅 說：「你們再 掣籤 ，看是我，是我兒子 約拿單 」，就掣出 約拿單 來。
42And Saul said: Cast lots between me, and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
43掃羅 對 約拿單 說：「你告訴我，你做了甚麼事？」 約拿單 說：「我實在以手裏的杖，用杖頭蘸了一點蜜嘗了一嘗。這樣我就死嗎？」
43And Saul said to Jonathan: Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said: I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod, which was in my hand, and behold I must die.
44掃羅 說：「 約拿單 哪，你定要死！若不然，願上帝重重地降罰與我。」
44And Saul said: May God do so and so to me, and add still more: for dying thou shalt die, O Jonathan.
45百姓對 掃羅 說：「 約拿單 在 以色列 人中這樣大行拯救，豈可使他死呢？斷乎不可！我們指着永生的耶和華起誓，連他的一根頭髮也不可落地，因為他今日與上帝一同做事。」於是百姓救 約拿單 免了死亡。
45And the people said to Saul: Shall Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? This must not be. As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he should not die.
46掃羅 回去，不追趕 非利士 人； 非利士 人也回本地去了。
46And Saul went back, and did not pursue after the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own places.
47掃羅 執掌 以色列 的國權，常常攻擊他四圍的一切仇敵，就是 摩押 人、 亞捫 人、 以東 人，和 瑣巴 諸王，並 非利士 人。他無論往何處去，都打敗仇敵。
47And Saul having his kingdom established over Israel, fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Soba, and the Philistines; and whithersoever he turned himself, he overcame.
48掃羅 奮勇攻擊 亞瑪力 人，救了 以色列 人脫離搶掠他們之人的手。
48And gathering together an army, he defeated Amalec, and delivered Israel from the hand of them that spoiled them.
49掃羅 的兒子是 約拿單 、 亦施韋 、 麥基舒亞 。他的兩個女兒：長女名 米拉 ，次女名 米甲 。
49And the sons of Saul, were Jonathan, and Jessui, and Melchisua: and the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn was Merob, and the name of the younger Michol.
50掃羅 的妻名叫 亞希暖 ，是 亞希瑪斯 的女兒。 掃羅 的元帥名叫 押尼珥 ，是 尼珥 的兒子； 尼珥 是 掃羅 的叔叔。
50And the name of Saul’s wife, was Achinoam the daughter of Achimaas; and the name of the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, the cousin german of Saul.
51掃羅 的父親 基士 ， 押尼珥 的父親 尼珥 ，都是 亞別 的兒子。
51For Cis was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, was son of Abiel.
52掃羅 平生常與 非利士 人大大爭戰。 掃羅 遇見有能力的人或勇士，都招募了來跟隨他。
52And there was a great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul. For whomsoever Saul saw to be a valiant man, and fit for war, he took him to himself.
