撒母耳記下 15
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1此後， 押沙龍 為自己預備車馬，又派五十人在他前頭奔走。
1And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
2押沙龍 常常早晨起來，站在城門的道旁，凡有爭訟要去求王判斷的， 押沙龍 就叫他過來，問他說：「你是哪一城的人？」回答說：「僕人是 以色列 某支派的人。」
2And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so , that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
3押沙龍 對他說：「你的事有情有理，無奈王沒有委人聽你伸訴。」
3And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.
4押沙龍 又說：「恨不得我作國中的士師！凡有爭訟求審判的到我這裏來，我必秉公判斷。」
4Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!
5若有人近前來要拜 押沙龍 ， 押沙龍 就伸手拉住他，與他親嘴。
5And it was so , that when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
6以色列 人中，凡去見王求判斷的， 押沙龍 都是如此待他們。這樣， 押沙龍 暗中得了 以色列 人的心。
6And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
7滿了四十年， 押沙龍 對王說：「求你准我往 希伯崙 去，還我向耶和華所許的願。
7¶ And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD , in Hebron.
8因為僕人住在 亞蘭 的 基述 ，曾許願說：『耶和華若使我再回 耶路撒冷 ，我必事奉他。』」
8For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD .
9王說：「你平平安安地去吧！」 押沙龍 就起身，往 希伯崙 去了。
9And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
10押沙龍 打發探子走遍 以色列 各支派，說：「你們一聽見角聲就說：『 押沙龍 在 希伯崙 作王了！』」
10¶ But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron.
11押沙龍 在 耶路撒冷 請了二百人與他同去，都是誠誠實實去的，並不知道其中的真情。
11And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing.
12押沙龍 獻祭的時候，打發人去將 大衛 的謀士、 基羅 人 亞希多弗 從他本城請了來。於是叛逆的勢派甚大；因為隨從 押沙龍 的人民，日漸增多。
12And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
13有人報告 大衛 說：「 以色列 人的心都歸向 押沙龍 了！」
13¶ And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
14大衛 就對 耶路撒冷 跟隨他的臣僕說：「我們要起來逃走，不然都不能躲避 押沙龍 了；要速速地去，恐怕他忽然來到，加害於我們，用刀殺盡合城的人。」
14And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
15王的臣僕對王說：「我主我王所定的，僕人都願遵行。」
15And the king’s servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint.
16於是王帶着全家的人出去了，但留下十個妃嬪看守宮殿。
16And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house.
17王出去，眾民都跟隨他，到 伯墨哈 ，就住下了。
17And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.
18王的臣僕都在他面前過去。 基利提 人、 比利提 人，就是從 迦特 跟隨王來的六百人，也都在他面前過去。
18And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
19王對 迦特 人 以太 說：「你是外邦逃來的人，為甚麼與我們同去呢？你可以回去與 新 王同住， 或者回 你本地去吧！
19¶ Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile.
20你來的日子不多，我今日怎好叫你與我們一同飄流、沒有一定的住處呢？你不如帶你的弟兄回去吧！ 願耶和華 用慈愛誠實待你。」
20Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth be with thee.
21以太 對王說：「我指着永生的耶和華起誓，又敢在王面前起誓：無論生死，王在哪裏，僕人也必在那裏。」
21And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the LORD liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be.
22大衛 對 以太 說：「你前去過 河 吧！」於是 迦特 人 以太 帶着跟隨他的人和所有的 婦人 孩子，就都過去了。
22And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
23本地的人都放聲大哭。眾民盡都過去，王也過了 汲淪溪 ；眾民往曠野去了。
23And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.
24撒督 和抬上帝約櫃的 利未 人也一同來了，將上帝的 約 櫃放下。 亞比亞他 上來，等着眾民從城裏出來過去。
24¶ And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city.
25王對 撒督 說：「你將上帝的 約 櫃抬回城去。我若在耶和華眼前蒙恩，他必使我回來，再見 約 櫃和他的居所。
25And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD , he will bring me again, and shew me both it, and his habitation:
26倘若他說：『我不喜悅你』，看哪，我在這裏，願他憑自己的意旨待我！」
26But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him.
27王又對祭司 撒督 說：「你不是先見嗎？你可以安然回城；你兒子 亞希瑪斯 和 亞比亞他 的兒子 約拿單 都可以與你同去。
27The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art not thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
28我在曠野的渡口那裏等你們報信給我。」
28See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me.
29於是 撒督 和 亞比亞他 將上帝的 約 櫃抬回 耶路撒冷 ，他們就住在那裏。
29Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there.
30大衛 蒙頭赤腳上 橄欖山 ，一面上一面哭。跟隨他的人也都蒙頭哭着上去；
30¶ And David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
31有人告訴 大衛 說：「 亞希多弗 也在叛黨之中，隨從 押沙龍 。」 大衛 禱告說：「耶和華啊，求你使 亞希多弗 的計謀變為愚拙！」
31¶ And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD , I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
32大衛 到了 山 頂、敬拜上帝的地方，見 亞基 人 戶篩 ，衣服撕裂，頭蒙灰塵來迎接他。
32¶ And it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of the mount , where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head:
33大衛 對他說：「你若與我同去，必累贅我；
33Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me:
34你若回城去，對 押沙龍 說：『王啊，我願作你的僕人；我向來作你父親的僕人，現在我也照樣作你的僕人。』這樣，你就可以為我破壞 亞希多弗 的計謀。
34But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father’s servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
35祭司 撒督 和 亞比亞他 豈不都在那裏嗎？你在王宮裏聽見甚麼，就要告訴祭司 撒督 和 亞比亞他 。
35And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king’s house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36撒督 的兒子 亞希瑪斯 ， 亞比亞他 的兒子 約拿單 ，也都在那裏。凡你們所聽見的可以託這二人來報告我。」
36Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok’s son , and Jonathan Abiathar’s son; and by them ye shall send unto me every thing that ye can hear.
37於是， 大衛 的朋友 戶篩 進了城； 押沙龍 也進了 耶路撒冷 。
37So Hushai David’s friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
