撒母耳記上 18
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
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。
1And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2那日 掃羅 留住 大衛 ，不容他再回父家。
2And Saul took him that day, and would 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。
3And David and Jonathan made a covenant, for be loved him as his own soul.
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 stripped himself of the coat with which he was clothed, and gave it to David, and the rest of his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
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。
5And David went out to whatsoever business Saul sent him, and he behaved himself prudently: and Saul set him over the soldiers, and he was acceptable in the eyes of all the people, and especially in the eyes of Saul’s servants.
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。
6Now when David returned, after be slew the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels of joy, and cornets.
7眾婦女舞蹈唱和，說：「 掃羅 殺死千千， 大衛 殺死萬萬。」
7And the women sung as they played, and they said: I Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten 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 exceeding angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes, and he said: They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given but a thousand; what can he have more but the kingdom?
9從這日起， 掃羅 就怒視 大衛 。
9And Saul did not look on David with a good eye from that day and forward.
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。
10And the day after the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand as at other times. And Saul held a spear in his hand,
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 threw it, thinking to nail David to the wall: and David stept aside out of his presence twice.
12掃羅 懼怕 大衛 ；因為耶和華離開自己，與 大衛 同在。
12And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from himself.
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 removed him from him, and made him a captain over a thousand men, and he went out and came in before the people.
14大衛 做事無不精明，耶和華也與他同在。
14And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
15掃羅 見 大衛 做事精明，就甚怕他。
15And Saul saw that he was exceeding prudent, and began to beware 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 Juda loved David, for he came in and went out before them.
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。」
17And Saul said to David: Behold my elder daughter Merob, her will I give thee to wife: only be a valiant man, and fight the battles of the Lord. Now Saul said within himself: Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon 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, or what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be 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。
19And it came to pass at the time when Merob the daughter of Saul should have been given to David, that she was given to Hadriel the Molathite to wife.
20掃羅 的次女 米甲 愛 大衛 。有人告訴 掃羅 ， 掃羅 就喜悅。
20But Michol the other daughter of Saul loved David. And it was told Saul, and 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。」
21And Saul said: I will give her to him, that she may be a stumblingblock to him, and that the band of the Philistines may be upon him. And Saul said to David: In two things thou shalt be my son in law this day.
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。』」
22And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: Behold thou pleasest the king, and all his servants love thee. Now therefore be the king’s 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。」
23And the servants of Saul spoke all these words in the ears of David. And David said: Doth it seem to you a small matter to be the king’s son in law? But I am a poor man, and of small ability.
24掃羅 的臣僕回奏說， 大衛 所說的如此如此。
24And the servants of Saul told him, saying: Such words as these hath David spoken.
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。
25And Saul said: Speak thus to David: The king desireth not any dowry, but only a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. Now Saul thought to deliver David into 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，
26And when his servants had told David the words that Saul had said, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David to be the king’s son in law.
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。
27And after a few days David rose up, and went with the men that were under him, and he slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and brought their foreskins and numbered them out to the king, that he might be his son in law. Saul therefore gave him Michol his daughter to wife.
28掃羅 見耶和華與 大衛 同在，又知道女兒 米甲 愛 大衛 ，
28And Saul saw, and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michol the daughter of Saul loved him.
29就更怕 大衛 ，常作 大衛 的仇敵。
29And Saul began to fear David more: and Saul became David’s enemy continually.
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。
30And the princes of the Philistines went forth: and from the beginning of their going forth, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, and his name became very famous.
