撒母耳記下 15
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1此後， 押沙龍 為自己預備車馬，又派五十人在他前頭奔走。
1After this, Absalom prepared a chariot and horses for himself, 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。」
2Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. When any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, “What city are you from?” He said, “Your 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。」
3Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”
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 who has any suit or cause might come to 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。
5It was so, that when any man came near to bow down to him, he stretched out his hand, took hold of 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。
6Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who 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。
7At the end of forty years, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to 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 your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If the LORD shall indeed bring me again 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。
9The king said to 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！』」
10But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king 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。
11Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they didn’t know anything.
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。
12Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. 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！」
13A messenger came 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。」
14David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise! Let’s flee, or else none of us will escape from Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest he overtake us quickly and bring down evil on us, and strike 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。」
15The king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”
16於是王帶着全家的人出去了，但留下十個妃嬪看守宮殿。
16The king went out, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
17王出去，眾民都跟隨他，到 伯墨哈 ，就住下了。
17The king went out, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.
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。
18All his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who 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！
19Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner and also an exile. Return to your own place.
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 you came but yesterday, should I today make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you.”
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。」
21Ittai answered the king and said, “As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king is, whether for death or for life, your servant will be there also.”
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。
22David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who 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。
23All 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。
24Behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down God’s ark; and Abiathar went up until all the people finished 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。
25The king said to Zadok, “Carry God’s ark back into the city. If I find favor in the LORD’s eyes, he will bring me again, and show 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 says, ‘I have no delight in you,’ behold, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to 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 to Zadok the priest, “Aren’t you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
28我在曠野的渡口那裏等你們報信給我。」
28Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform 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 God’s ark to Jerusalem again; and they stayed 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；
30David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered and went barefoot. All the people who were with him each covered 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！」
31Someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” David said, “LORD, please 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。
32When David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his tunic torn and earth on his head.
33大衛 對他說：「你若與我同去，必累贅我；
33David said to him, “If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to 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 you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so I will now be your servant; then you will defeat for me 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 。
35Don’t you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore whatever you hear out of the king’s house, 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. Send to me everything that you shall hear by them.”
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.
