撒母耳記上 14
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
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 happened on a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he didn’t tell 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。
2Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron; and the people who were 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。
3including Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of the LORD in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t know that 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 ；
4Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side and a rocky crag on the other side; and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
5一峰向北，與 密抹 相對，一峰向南，與 迦巴 相對。
5The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.
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。」
6Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that the LORD will work for us, for there is no restraint on the LORD to save 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。」
7His armor bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Go, and behold, I am with you according to your heart.”
8約拿單 說：「我們要過到那些人那裏去，使他們看見我們。
8Then Jonathan said, “Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to 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 say this to us, ‘Wait until we come to you!’ then we will stand still in our place and will 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 say this, ‘Come up to us!’ then we will go up, for the LORD has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to 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！」
11Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, “Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves!”
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。」
12The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something!” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me, for the LORD has delivered them into the hand 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。
13Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him, and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after 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。
14That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land.
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。
15There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.
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。
16The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away and scattered.
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。
17Then Saul said to the people who were with him, “Count now, and see who is missing from us.” When they had counted, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer 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。」
18Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring God’s ark here.” For God’s ark was with the children of Israel at that time.
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！」
19While Saul talked to the priest, the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your 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。
20Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle; and behold, they were all striking each other with their swords in very great confusion.
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。
21Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before and who went up with them into the camp from all around, even they also turned 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。
22Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
23那日，耶和華使 以色列 人得勝，一直戰到 伯‧亞文 。
23So the LORD saved Israel that day; and the battle passed over by Beth Aven.
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。
24The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.
25眾民進入樹林，見有蜜在地上。
25All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on 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。
26When the people had come to the forest, behold, honey was dripping, but no one 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 didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath. Therefore he put out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes brightened.
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。」
28Then one of the people answered, and said, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’” So 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。
29Then Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have brightened 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 perhaps the people had eaten freely today of the plunder of their enemies which they found? For now there has been no great 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，
31They struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;
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 the people pounced on the plunder, and took sheep, cattle, and calves, and killed 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。」
33Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against the LORD, in that they eat meat with the blood.” He said, “You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me today!”
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。
34Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, ‘Every man bring me here his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don’t sin against the LORD in eating meat with the blood.’” All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed 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。
35Saul built an altar to the LORD. This was the first altar that he built 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。」
36Saul said, “Let’s go down after the Philistines by night, and take plunder among them until the morning light. Let’s not leave a man of them.” They said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” Then the priest said, “Let’s draw near here to 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。
37Saul asked counsel of God: “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he didn’t answer him 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。
38Saul said, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see in whom this sin has been 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。
39For as the LORD lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man among all the people who answered 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！」
40Then he said to all Israel, “You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” The people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”
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。
41Therefore Saul said to the LORD, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but 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。
42Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan was selected.
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？」
43Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done!” Jonathan told him, and said, “I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that 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。」
44Saul said, “God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, 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。
45The people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has worked with God today!” So the people rescued Jonathan, so he didn’t die.
46掃羅 回去，不追趕 非利士 人； 非利士 人也回本地去了。
46Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.
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。
47Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side: against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned himself, he defeated them.
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。
48He did valiantly and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered 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 。
49Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.
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。
50The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.
51掃羅 的父親 基士 ， 押尼珥 的父親 尼珥 ，都是 亞別 的兒子。
51Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the 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。
52There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he took him into his service.
