撒母耳記下 16
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1大衛 剛過 山 頂，見 米非波設 的僕人 洗巴 拉着備好了的兩匹驢，驢上馱着二百麵餅，一百葡萄餅，一百個夏天的果餅，一皮袋酒來迎接他。
1And when David was a little past the top, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and a hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
2王問 洗巴 說：「你帶這些來是甚麼意思呢？」 洗巴 說：「驢是給王的家眷騎的；麵餅和夏天的果餅是給少年人吃的；酒是給在曠野疲乏人喝的。」
2And the king said unto Ziba: 'What meanest thou by these?' And Ziba said: 'The asses are for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink.'
3王問說：「你主人的兒子在哪裏呢？」 洗巴 回答王說：「他仍在 耶路撒冷 ，因他說：『 以色列 人今日必將我父的國歸還我。』」
3And the king said: 'And where is thy master's son?' And Ziba said unto the king: 'Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem; for he said: To-day will the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.'
4王對 洗巴 說：「凡屬 米非波設 的都歸你了。」 洗巴 說：「我叩拜我主我王，願我在你眼前蒙恩。」
4Then said the king to Ziba: 'Behold, thine is all that pertaineth unto Mephibosheth.' And Ziba said: 'I prostrate myself; let me find favour in thy sight, my lord, O king.'
5大衛 王到了 巴戶琳 ，見有一個人出來，是 掃羅 族 基拉 的兒子，名叫 示每 。他一面走一面咒罵，
5And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera; he came out, and kept on cursing as he came.
6又拿石頭砍 大衛 王和王的臣僕；眾民和勇士都在王的左右。
6And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David; and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
7示每 咒罵說：「你這流人血的壞人哪，去吧去吧！
7And thus said Shimei when he cursed: 'Begone, begone, thou man of blood, and base fellow;
8你流 掃羅 全家的血，接續他作王；耶和華把這罪歸在你身上，將這國交給你兒子 押沙龍 。現在你自取其禍，因為你是流人血的人。」
8the LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son; and, behold, thou art taken in thine own mischief, because thou art a man of blood.'
9洗魯雅 的兒子 亞比篩 對王說：「這死狗豈可咒罵我主我王呢？求你容我過去，割下他的頭來。」
9Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king: 'Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.'
10王說：「 洗魯雅 的兒子，我與你們有何關涉呢？他咒罵是因耶和華吩咐他說：『你要咒罵 大衛 。』如此，誰敢說你為甚麼這樣行呢？」
10And the king said: 'What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? So let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him: Curse David; who then shall say: Wherefore hast thou done so?'
11大衛 又對 亞比篩 和眾臣僕說：「我親生的兒子尚且尋索我的性命，何況這 便雅憫 人呢？由他咒罵吧！因為這是耶和華吩咐他的。
11And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants: 'Behold, my son, who came forth of my body, seeketh my life; how much more this Benjamite now? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.
12或者耶和華見我遭難，為我今日被這人咒罵，就施恩與我。」
12It may be that the LORD will look on mine eye, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing of me this day.'
13於是 大衛 和跟隨他的人往前行走。 示每 在 大衛 對面山坡，一面行走一面咒罵，又拿石頭砍他，拿土揚他。
13So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hill-side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
14王和跟隨他的眾人疲疲乏乏地到了一個地方，就在那裏歇息歇息。
14And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there.
15押沙龍 和 以色列 眾人來到 耶路撒冷 ； 亞希多弗 也與他同來。
15And Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16大衛 的朋友 亞基 人 戶篩 去見 押沙龍 ，對他說：「願王萬歲！願王萬歲！」
16And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom: 'Long live the king, long live the king.'
17押沙龍 問 戶篩 說：「這是你恩待朋友嗎？為甚麼不與你的朋友同去呢？」
17And Absalom said to Hushai: 'Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?'
18戶篩 對 押沙龍 說：「不然，耶和華和這民，並 以色列 眾人所揀選的，我必歸順他，與他同住。
18And Hushai said unto Absalom: 'Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
19再者，我當服事誰呢？豈不是前王的兒子嗎？我怎樣服事你父親，也必照樣服事你。」
19And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.'
20押沙龍 對 亞希多弗 說：「你們出個主意，我們怎樣行才好？」
20Then said Absalom to Ahithophel: 'Give your counsel what we shall do.'
21亞希多弗 對 押沙龍 說：「你父所留下看守宮殿的妃嬪，你可以與她們親近。 以色列 眾人聽見你父親憎惡你，凡歸順你人的手就更堅強。」
21And Ahithophel said unto Absalom: 'Go in unto thy father's concubines, that he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that thou art abhorred of thy father; then will the hands of all that are with thee be strong.'
22於是人為 押沙龍 在宮殿的平頂上支搭帳棚； 押沙龍 在 以色列 眾人眼前，與他父的妃嬪親近。
22So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel. —
23那時 亞希多弗 所出的主意好像人問上帝的話一樣；他昔日給 大衛 ，今日給 押沙龍 所出的主意，都是這樣。
23Now the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man inquired of the word of God; so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
