撒母耳記上 18
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1大衛 對 掃羅 說完了話， 約拿單 的心與 大衛 的心深相契合。 約拿單 愛 大衛 ，如同愛自己的性命。
1After David had finished speaking with Saul, the souls of Jonathan and David were knit together, and Jonathan loved him as himself.
2那日 掃羅 留住 大衛 ，不容他再回父家。
2And from that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return to his father’s house.
3約拿單 愛 大衛 如同愛自己的性命，就與他結盟。
3Then Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.
4約拿單 從身上脫下外袍，給了 大衛 ，又將戰衣、刀、弓、腰帶都給了他。
4And Jonathan removed the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.
5掃羅 無論差遣 大衛 往何處去，他都做事精明。 掃羅 就立他作戰士長，眾百姓和 掃羅 的臣僕無不喜悅。
5So David marched out and prospered in everything Saul sent him to do, and Saul set him over the men of war. And this was pleasing in the sight of all the people, and of Saul’s officers as well.
6大衛 打死了那 非利士 人，同眾人回來的時候，婦女們從 以色列 各城裏出來，歡歡喜喜，打鼓擊磬，歌唱跳舞，迎接 掃羅 王。
6As the troops were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs, and with tambourines and other instruments.
7眾婦女舞蹈唱和，說：「 掃羅 殺死千千， 大衛 殺死萬萬。」
7And as the women danced, they sang out: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
8掃羅 甚發怒，不喜悅這話，就說：「將萬萬歸 大衛 ，千千歸我，只剩下王位沒有給他了。」
8And Saul was furious and resented this song. “They have ascribed tens of thousands to David,” he said, “but only thousands to me. What more can he have but the kingdom?”
9從這日起， 掃羅 就怒視 大衛 。
9And from that day forward Saul kept a jealous eye on David.
10次日，從上帝那裏來的惡魔大大降在 掃羅 身上，他就在家中胡言亂語。 大衛 照常彈琴， 掃羅 手裏拿着槍。
10The next day a spirit of distress sent from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house while David played the harp as usual. Now Saul was holding a spear,
11掃羅 把槍一掄，心裏說，我要將 大衛 刺透，釘在牆上。 大衛 躲避他兩次。
11and he hurled it, thinking, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.
12掃羅 懼怕 大衛 ；因為耶和華離開自己，與 大衛 同在。
12So Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with David but had departed from Saul.
13所以 掃羅 使 大衛 離開自己，立他為千夫長，他就領兵出入。
13Therefore Saul sent David away and gave him command of a thousand men. David led the troops out to battle and back,
14大衛 做事無不精明，耶和華也與他同在。
14and he continued to prosper in all his ways, because the LORD was with him.
15掃羅 見 大衛 做事精明，就甚怕他。
15When Saul saw that David was very successful, he was afraid of him.
16但 以色列 和 猶大 眾人都愛 大衛 ，因為他領他們出入。
16But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he was leading them out to battle and back.
17掃羅 對 大衛 說：「我將大女兒 米拉 給你為妻，只要你為我奮勇，為耶和華爭戰。」 掃羅 心裏說：「我不好親手害他，要藉 非利士 人的手害他。」
17Then Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage. Only be valiant for me and fight the LORD’s battles.” But Saul was thinking, “I need not raise my hand against him; let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”
18大衛 對 掃羅 說：「我是誰，我是甚麼出身，我父家在 以色列 中是何等的家，豈敢作王的女婿呢？」
18And David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my family or my father’s clan in Israel, that I should become the son-in-law of the king?”
19掃羅 的女兒 米拉 到了當給 大衛 的時候， 掃羅 卻給了 米何拉 人 亞得列 為妻。
19So when it was time to give Saul’s daughter Merab to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.
20掃羅 的次女 米甲 愛 大衛 。有人告訴 掃羅 ， 掃羅 就喜悅。
20Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David, and when this was reported to Saul, it pleased him.
21掃羅 心裏說：「我將這女兒給 大衛 ，作他的網羅，好藉 非利士 人的手害他。」所以 掃羅 對 大衛 說：「你今日可以第二次作我的女婿。」
21“I will give her to David,” Saul thought, “so that she may be a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “For a second time now you can be my son-in-law.”
22掃羅 吩咐臣僕 說 ：「你們暗中對 大衛 說：『王喜悅你，王的臣僕也都喜愛你，所以你當作王的女婿。』」
22Then Saul ordered his servants, “Speak to David privately and tell him, ‘Behold, the king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become his son-in-law.’”
23掃羅 的臣僕就照這話說給 大衛 聽。 大衛 說：「你們以為作王的女婿是一件小事嗎？我是貧窮卑微的人。」
23But when Saul’s servants relayed these words to David, he replied, “Does it seem trivial in your sight to be the son-in-law of the king? I am a poor man and lightly esteemed.”
24掃羅 的臣僕回奏說， 大衛 所說的如此如此。
24And the servants told Saul what David had said.
25掃羅 說：「你們要對 大衛 這樣說：『王不要甚麼聘禮，只要一百 非利士 人的陽皮，好在王的仇敵身上報仇。』」 掃羅 的意思要使 大衛 喪在 非利士 人的手裏。
25Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king desires no other dowry but a hundred Philistine foreskins as revenge on his enemies.’” But Saul intended to cause David’s death at the hands of the Philistines.
26掃羅 的臣僕將這話告訴 大衛 ， 大衛 就歡喜作王的女婿。日期還沒有到，
26When the servants reported these terms to David, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. Before the wedding day arrived,
27大衛 和跟隨他的人起身前往，殺了二百 非利士 人，將陽皮滿數交給王，為要作王的女婿。於是 掃羅 將女兒 米甲 給 大衛 為妻。
27David and his men went out and killed two hundred Philistines. He brought their foreskins and presented them as payment in full to become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave his daughter Michal to David in marriage.
28掃羅 見耶和華與 大衛 同在，又知道女兒 米甲 愛 大衛 ，
28When Saul realized that the LORD was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David,
29就更怕 大衛 ，常作 大衛 的仇敵。
29he grew even more afraid of David. So from then on Saul was David’s enemy.
30每逢 非利士 軍長出來 打仗 ， 大衛 比 掃羅 的臣僕做事精明，因此他的名被人尊重。
30Every time the Philistine commanders came out for battle, David was more successful than all of Saul’s officers, so that his name was highly esteemed.
