撒母耳記上 23
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1有人告訴 大衛 說：「 非利士 人攻擊 基伊拉 ，搶奪禾場。」
1David was told, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing 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 。」
2Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and strike these Philistines?” The LORD said to David, “Go strike 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？」
3David’s men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then 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。」
4Then David inquired of the LORD yet again. The LORD answered him, and said, “Arise, go down 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。
5David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their livestock, and killed them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants 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。
6When Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came down with an ephod in his hand.
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。」
7Saul was told that David had come to Keilah. Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he is shut in by entering into a town that has 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。
8Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah to 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。」
9David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him. He said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”
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。
10Then David said, “O LORD, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.
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 men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? LORD, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant.” The LORD said, “He will come down.”
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。」
12Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” The LORD said, “They will deliver you up.”
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, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah and went wherever they could go. Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah; and he gave up going there.
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。
14David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God didn’t deliver him 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；
15David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the woods.
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，
16Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went to David into the woods, 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。」
17He said to him, “Don’t be afraid, for the hand of Saul my father won’t find you; and you will be king over Israel, and I will be next to you; and Saul my father knows that also.”
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。
18They both made a covenant before the LORD. Then David stayed in the woods and Jonathan went to his house.
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 to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?
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 therefore, O king, come down. According to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part will be to deliver him up into the king’s hand.”
21掃羅 說：「願耶和華賜福與你們，因你們顧恤我。
21Saul said, “You are blessed by the LORD, 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 make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for I have been told that he is very 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。」
23See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides himself; and come again to me with certainty, and I will go with you. It shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands 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 。
24They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.
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 。
25Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard that, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.
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 went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David hurried to get away for fear of Saul, for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men to take 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！」
27But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have made a raid on 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 returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines. Therefore they called that place Sela Hammahlekoth.
29大衛 從那裏上去，住在 隱‧基底 的山寨裏。
29David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.
