撒母耳記上 17
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1非利士 人招聚他們的軍旅，要來爭戰；聚集在屬 猶大 的 梭哥 ，安營在 梭哥 和 亞西加 中間的 以弗‧大憫 。
1Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war at Socoh in Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim.
2掃羅 和 以色列 人也聚集，在 以拉谷 安營，擺列隊伍，要與 非利士 人打仗。
2Saul and the men of Israel assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah, arraying themselves for battle against the Philistines.
3非利士 人站在這邊山上， 以色列 人站在那邊山上，當中有谷。
3The Philistines stood on one hill and the Israelites stood on another, with the valley between them.
4從 非利士 營中出來一個討戰的人，名叫 歌利亞 ，是 迦特 人，身高六肘零一虎口；
4Then a champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out from the Philistine camp. He was six cubits and a span in height,
5頭戴銅盔，身穿鎧甲，甲重五千舍客勒；
5and he had a bronze helmet on his head. He wore a bronze coat of mail weighing five thousand shekels,
6腿上有銅護膝，兩肩之中背負銅戟；
6and he had armor of bronze on his legs and a javelin of bronze slung between his shoulders.
7槍桿粗如織布的機軸，鐵槍頭重六百舍客勒。有一個拿盾牌的人在他前面走。
7The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. In addition, his shield bearer went before him.
8歌利亞 對着 以色列 的軍隊站立，呼叫說：「你們出來擺列隊伍做甚麼呢？我不是 非利士 人嗎？你們不是 掃羅 的僕人嗎？可以從你們中間揀選一人，使他下到我這裏來。
8And Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and array yourselves for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose one of your men and have him come down against me.
9他若能與我戰鬥，將我殺死，我們就作你們的僕人；我若勝了他，將他殺死，你們就作我們的僕人，服事我們。」
9If he is able to fight me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and labor for us.”
10那 非利士 人又說：「我今日向 以色列 人的軍隊罵陣。你們叫一個人出來，與我戰鬥。」
10Then the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel this day! Give me a man to fight!”
11掃羅 和 以色列 眾人聽見 非利士 人的這些話，就驚惶，極其害怕。
11On hearing the words of the Philistine, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and greatly afraid.
12大衛 是 猶大 伯利恆 的 以法他 人 耶西 的兒子。 耶西 有八個兒子。當 掃羅 的時候， 耶西 已經老邁。
12Now David was the son of a man named Jesse, an Ephrathite from Bethlehem of Judah who had eight sons in the days of Saul. And Jesse was old and well along in years.
13耶西 的三個大兒子跟隨 掃羅 出征。這出征的三個兒子：長子名叫 以利押 ，次子名叫 亞比拿達 ，三子名叫 沙瑪 。
13The three older sons of Jesse had followed Saul into battle: The firstborn was Eliab, the second was Abinadab, and the third was Shammah.
14大衛 是最小的；那三個大兒子跟隨 掃羅 。
14And David was the youngest. The three oldest had followed Saul,
15大衛 有時離開 掃羅 ，回 伯利恆 放他父親的羊。
15but David went back and forth from Saul to tend his father’s sheep in Bethlehem.
16那 非利士 人早晚都出來站着，如此四十日。
16For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening to take his stand.
17一日， 耶西 對他兒子 大衛 說：「你拿一伊法烘了的穗子和十個餅，速速地送到營裏去，交給你哥哥們；
17One day Jesse said to his son David, “Take this ephah of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp.
18再拿這十塊奶餅，送給他們的千夫長，且問你哥哥們好，向他們要一封信來。」
18Take also these ten portions of cheese to the commander of their unit. Check on the welfare of your brothers and bring back an assurance from them.
19掃羅 與 大衛 的三個哥哥和 以色列 眾人，在 以拉谷 與 非利士 人打仗。
19They are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines.”
20大衛 早晨起來，將羊交託一個看守的人，照着他父親所吩咐的話，帶着食物去了。到了輜重營，軍兵剛出到戰場，吶喊要戰。
20So David got up early in the morning, left the flock with a keeper, loaded up, and set out as Jesse had instructed him. He reached the camp as the army was marching out to its position and shouting the battle cry.
21以色列 人和 非利士 人都擺列隊伍，彼此相對。
21And Israel and the Philistines arrayed in formation against each other.
22大衛 把他帶來的食物留在看守物件人的手下，跑到戰場，問他哥哥們安。
22Then David left his supplies in the care of the quartermaster and ran to the battle line. When he arrived, he asked his brothers how they were doing.
23與他們說話的時候，那討戰的，就是屬 迦特 的 非利士 人 歌利亞 ，從 非利士 隊中出來，說從前所說的話； 大衛 都聽見了。
23And as he was speaking with them, suddenly the champion named Goliath, the Philistine from Gath, came forward from the Philistines and shouted his usual words, which David also heard.
24以色列 眾人看見那人，就逃跑，極其害怕。
24When all the men of Israel saw Goliath, they fled from him in great fear.
25以色列 人彼此說：「這上來的人你看見了嗎？他上來是要向 以色列 人罵陣。若有能殺他的，王必賞賜他大財，將自己的女兒給他為妻，並在 以色列 人中免他父家納糧當差。」
25Now the men of Israel had been saying, “Do you see this man who keeps coming out to defy Israel? To the man who kills him the king will give great riches. And he will give him his daughter in marriage and exempt his father’s house from taxation in Israel.”
26大衛 問站在旁邊的人說：「有人殺這 非利士 人，除掉 以色列 人的恥辱，怎樣待他呢？這未受割禮的 非利士 人是誰呢？竟敢向永生上帝的軍隊罵陣嗎？」
26David asked the men who were standing with him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Just who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”
27百姓照先前的話回答他說：「有人能殺這 非利士 人，必如此如此待他。」
27The people told him about the offer, saying, “That is what will be done for the man who kills him.”
28大衛 的長兄 以利押 聽見 大衛 與他們所說的話，就向他發怒，說：「你下來做甚麼呢？在曠野的那幾隻羊，你交託了誰呢？我知道你的驕傲和你心裏的惡意，你下來特為要看爭戰！」
28Now when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, his anger burned against David. “Why have you come down here?” he asked. “And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and wickedness of heart—you have come down to see the battle!”
29大衛 說：「我做了甚麼呢？我來豈沒有緣故嗎？」
29“What have I done now?” said David. “Was it not just a question?”
30大衛 就離開他轉向別人，照先前的話而問；百姓仍照先前的話回答他。
30Then he turned from him toward another and asked about the offer, and those people answered him just as the first ones had answered.
31有人聽見 大衛 所說的話，就告訴了 掃羅 ； 掃羅 便打發人叫他來。
31Now David’s words were overheard and reported to Saul, who called for him.
32大衛 對 掃羅 說：「人都不必因那 非利士 人膽怯。你的僕人要去與那 非利士 人戰鬥。」
32And David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail on account of this Philistine. Your servant will go and fight him!”
33掃羅 對 大衛 說：「你不能去與那 非利士 人戰鬥；因為你年紀太輕，他自幼就作戰士。」
33But Saul replied, “You cannot go out against this Philistine to fight him. You are just a boy, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
34大衛 對 掃羅 說：「你僕人為父親放羊，有時來了獅子，有時來了熊，從群中啣一隻羊羔去。
34David replied, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep, and whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock,
35我就追趕牠，擊打牠，將羊羔從牠口中救出來。牠起來要害我，我就揪着牠的鬍子，將牠打死。
35I went after it, struck it down, and delivered the lamb from its mouth. If it reared up against me, I would grab it by its fur, strike it down, and kill it.
36你僕人曾打死獅子和熊，這未受割禮的 非利士 人向永生上帝的軍隊罵陣，也必像獅子和熊一般。」
36Your servant has killed lions and bears; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.”
37大衛 又說：「耶和華救我脫離獅子和熊的爪，也必救我脫離這 非利士 人的手。」 掃羅 對 大衛 說：「你可以去吧！耶和華必與你同在。」
37David added, “The LORD, who delivered me from the claws of the lion and the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” “Go,” said Saul, “and may the LORD be with you.”
38掃羅 就把自己的戰衣給 大衛 穿上，將銅盔給他戴上，又給他穿上鎧甲。
38Then Saul clothed David in his own tunic, put a bronze helmet on his head, and dressed him in armor.
39大衛 把刀跨在戰衣外，試試能走不能走；因為素來沒有穿慣，就對 掃羅 說：「我穿戴這些不能走，因為素來沒有穿慣。」於是摘脫了。
39David strapped his sword over the tunic and tried to walk, but he was not accustomed to them. “I cannot walk in these,” David said to Saul. “I am not accustomed to them.” So David took them off.
40他手中拿杖，又在溪中挑選了五塊光滑石子，放在袋裏，就是牧人帶的囊裏；手中拿着甩石的機弦，就去迎那 非利士 人。
40And David took his staff in his hand, selected five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag. And with his sling in hand, he approached the Philistine.
41非利士 人也漸漸地迎着 大衛 來，拿盾牌的走在前頭。
41Now the Philistine came closer and closer to David, with his shield-bearer before him.
42非利士 人觀看，見了 大衛 ，就藐視他；因為他年輕，面色光紅，容貌俊美。
42When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him because he was just a boy, ruddy and handsome.
43非利士 人對 大衛 說：「你拿杖到我這裏來，我豈是狗呢？」 非利士 人就指着自己的神咒詛 大衛 。
43“Am I a dog,” he said to David, “that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44非利士 人又對 大衛 說：「來吧！我將你的肉給空中的飛鳥、田野的走獸吃。」
44“Come here,” he called to David, “and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”
45大衛 對 非利士 人說：「你來攻擊我，是靠着刀槍和 銅 戟；我來攻擊你，是靠着萬軍之耶和華的名，就是你所怒罵帶領 以色列 軍隊的上帝。
45But David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
46今日耶和華必將你交在我手裏。我必殺你，斬你的頭，又將 非利士 軍兵的屍首給空中的飛鳥、地上的野獸吃，使普天下的人都知道 以色列 中有上帝；
46This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand. This day I will strike you down, cut off your head, and give the carcasses of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the creatures of the earth. Then the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
47又使這眾人知道耶和華使人得勝，不是用刀用槍，因為爭戰的勝敗全在乎耶和華。他必將你們交在我們手裏。」
47And all those assembled here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give all of you into our hands.”
48非利士 人起身，迎着 大衛 前來。 大衛 急忙迎着 非利士 人，往戰場跑去。
48As the Philistine started forward to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.
49大衛 用手從囊中掏出一塊石子來，用機弦甩去，打中 非利士 人的額，石子進入額內，他就仆倒，面伏於地。
49Then David reached into his bag, took out a stone, and slung it, striking the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
50這樣， 大衛 用機弦甩石，勝了那 非利士 人，打死他； 大衛 手中卻沒有刀。
50Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
51大衛 跑去，站在 非利士 人身旁，將他的刀從鞘中拔出來，殺死他，割了他的頭。 非利士 眾人看見他們討戰的勇士死了，就都逃跑。
51David ran and stood over him. He grabbed the Philistine’s sword and pulled it from its sheath and killed him; and he cut off his head with the sword. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.
52以色列 人和 猶大 人便起身吶喊，追趕 非利士 人，直到 迦特 和 以革倫 的城門。被殺的 非利士 人倒在 沙拉音 的路上，直到 迦特 和 以革倫 。
52Then the men of Israel and Judah charged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron. And the bodies of the Philistines were strewn along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron.
53以色列 人追趕 非利士 人回來，就奪了他們的營盤。
53When the Israelites returned from their pursuit of the Philistines, they plundered their camps.
54大衛 將那 非利士 人的頭拿到 耶路撒冷 ，卻將他軍裝放在自己的帳棚裏。
54David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, and he put Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
55掃羅 看見 大衛 去攻擊 非利士 人，就問元帥 押尼珥 說：「 押尼珥 啊，那少年人是誰的兒子？」 押尼珥 說：「我敢在王面前起誓，我不知道。」
55As Saul had watched David going out to confront the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this young man?” “As surely as you live, O king,” Abner replied, “I do not know.”
56王說：「你可以問問那幼年人是誰的兒子。」
56“Find out whose son this young man is!” said the king.
57大衛 打死 非利士 人回來， 押尼珥 領他到 掃羅 面前，他手中拿着 非利士 人的頭。
57So when David returned from killing the Philistine, still holding his head in his hand, Abner took him and brought him before Saul.
58掃羅 問他說：「少年人哪，你是誰的兒子？」 大衛 說：「我是你僕人 伯利恆 人 耶西 的兒子。」
58“Whose son are you, young man?” asked Saul. “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem,” David replied.
