撒母耳記上 23
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1有人告訴 大衛 說：「 非利士 人攻擊 基伊拉 ，搶奪禾場。」
1Now it was reported to David, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and looting the threshing floors.”
2所以 大衛 求問耶和華說：「我去攻打那些 非利士 人可以不可以？」耶和華對 大衛 說：「你可以去攻打 非利士 人，拯救 基伊拉 。」
2So David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go and attack these Philistines?” And the LORD said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines and save Keilah.”
3跟隨 大衛 的人對他說：「我們在 猶大 地這裏尚且懼怕，何況往 基伊拉 去攻打 非利士 人的軍旅呢？」
3But David’s men said to him, “Look, we are afraid here in Judah; how much more if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
4大衛 又求問耶和華。耶和華回答說：「你起身下 基伊拉 去，我必將 非利士 人交在你手裏。」
4Once again, David inquired of the LORD, and the LORD answered him: “Go at once to Keilah, for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
5大衛 和跟隨他的人往 基伊拉 去，與 非利士 人打仗，大大殺敗他們，又奪獲他們的牲畜。這樣， 大衛 救了 基伊拉 的居民。
5Then David and his men went to Keilah, fought against the Philistines, and carried off their livestock, striking them with a mighty blow. So David saved the people of Keilah.
6亞希米勒 的兒子 亞比亞他 逃到 基伊拉 見 大衛 的時候，手裏拿着以弗得。
6(Now Abiathar son of Ahimelech had brought the ephod with him when he fled to David at Keilah.)
7有人告訴 掃羅 說：「 大衛 到了 基伊拉 。」 掃羅 說：「他進了有門有閂的城，困閉在裏頭；這是上帝將他交在我手裏了。」
7When Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah, he said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he has trapped himself by entering a town with gates and bars.”
8於是 掃羅 招聚眾民，要下去攻打 基伊拉 城，圍困 大衛 和跟隨他的人。
8Then Saul summoned all his troops to go to war at Keilah and besiege David and his men.
9大衛 知道 掃羅 設計謀害他，就對祭司 亞比亞他 說：「將以弗得拿過來。」
9When David learned that Saul was plotting evil against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod.”
10大衛 禱告說：「耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝啊，你僕人聽真了 掃羅 要往 基伊拉 來，為我的緣故滅城。
10And David said, “O LORD, God of Israel, Your servant has heard that Saul intends to come to Keilah and destroy the city on my account.
11基伊拉 人將我交在 掃羅 手裏不交？ 掃羅 照着你僕人所聽的話下來不下來？耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝啊，求你指示僕人！」耶和華說：「 掃羅 必下來。」
11Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O LORD, God of Israel, please tell Your servant.” “He will,” said the LORD.
12大衛 又說：「 基伊拉 人將我和跟隨我的人交在 掃羅 手裏不交？」耶和華說：「必交出來。」
12So David asked, “Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me and my men into the hand of Saul?” “They will,” said the LORD.
13大衛 和跟隨他的約有六百人，就起身出了 基伊拉 ，往他們所能往的地方去。有人告訴 掃羅 ， 大衛 離開 基伊拉 逃走；於是 掃羅 不出來了。
13Then David and his men, about six hundred strong, set out and departed from Keilah, moving from place to place. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah, he declined to go forth.
14大衛 住在曠野的山寨裏，常在 西弗 曠野的山地。 掃羅 天天尋索 大衛 ，上帝卻不將 大衛 交在他手裏。
14And David stayed in the wilderness strongholds and in the hill country of the Wilderness of Ziph. Day after day Saul searched for him, but God would not deliver David into his hand.
15大衛 知道 掃羅 出來尋索他的命。那時，他住在 西弗 曠野的樹林裏；
15While David was in Horesh in the Wilderness of Ziph, he saw that Saul had come out to take his life.
16掃羅 的兒子 約拿單 起身，往那樹林裏去見 大衛 ，使他倚靠上帝得以堅固，
16And Saul’s son Jonathan came to David in Horesh and strengthened his hand in God,
17對他說：「不要懼怕！我父 掃羅 的手必不加害於你；你必作 以色列 的王，我也作你的宰相。這事我父 掃羅 知道了。」
17saying, “Do not be afraid, for my father Saul will never lay a hand on you. And you will be king over Israel, and I will be your second-in-command. Even my father Saul knows this is true.”
18於是二人在耶和華面前立約。 大衛 仍住在樹林裏， 約拿單 回家去了。
18So the two of them made a covenant before the LORD. And David remained in Horesh, while Jonathan went home.
19西弗 人上到 基比亞 見 掃羅 ，說：「 大衛 不是在我們那裏的樹林裏山寨中、曠野南邊的 哈基拉山 藏着嗎？
19Then the Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding among us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah south of Jeshimon?
20王啊，請你隨你的心願下來，我們必親自將他交在王的手裏。」
20Now, O king, come down whenever your soul desires, and we will be responsible for delivering him into your hand.”
21掃羅 說：「願耶和華賜福與你們，因你們顧恤我。
21“May you be blessed by the LORD,” replied Saul, “for you have had compassion on me.
22請你們回去，再確實查明他的住處和行蹤，是誰看見他在那裏，因為我聽見人說他甚狡猾。
22Please go and prepare further. Investigate and watch carefully where he goes and who has seen him there, for I am told that he is extremely cunning.
23所以要看準他藏匿的地方，回來據實地告訴我，我就與你們同去。他若在 猶大 的境內，我必從千門萬戶中搜出他來。」
23Observe and find out all the places where he hides. Then come back to me with certainty, and I will go with you. If he is in the land, I will search him out among all the clans of Judah.”
24西弗 人就起身，在 掃羅 以先往 西弗 去。 大衛 和跟隨他的人卻在 瑪雲 曠野南邊的 亞拉巴 。
24So they set out and went to Ziph ahead of Saul. Now David and his men were in the Wilderness of Maon in the Arabah south of Jeshimon,
25掃羅 和跟隨他的人去尋找 大衛 ；有人告訴 大衛 ，他就下到磐石，住在 瑪雲 的曠野。 掃羅 聽見，便在 瑪雲 的曠野追趕 大衛 。
25and Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told about it, he went down to the rock and stayed in the Wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard of this, he pursued David there.
26掃羅 在山這邊走， 大衛 和跟隨他的人在山那邊走。 大衛 急忙躲避 掃羅 ；因為 掃羅 和跟隨他的人，四面圍住 大衛 和跟隨他的人，要拿獲他們。
26Saul was proceeding along one side of the mountain, and David and his men along the other side. Even though David was hurrying to get away, Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men to capture them.
27忽有使者來報告 掃羅 說：「 非利士 人犯境搶掠，請王快快回去！」
27Then a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Come quickly, for the Philistines have raided the land!”
28於是 掃羅 不追趕 大衛 ，回去攻打 非利士 人。因此那地方名叫 西拉‧哈瑪希羅結 。
28So Saul broke off his pursuit of David and went to meet the Philistines. That is why that place is called Sela-hammahlekoth.
29大衛 從那裏上去，住在 隱‧基底 的山寨裏。
29And David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of En-gedi.
