撒母耳記下 17
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1亞希多弗 又對 押沙龍 說：「求你准我挑選一萬二千人，今夜我就起身追趕 大衛 ，
1And Achitophel said to Absalom: I will choose me twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night.
2趁他疲乏手軟，我忽然追上他，使他驚惶；跟隨他的民必都逃跑，我就單殺王一人，
2And coming upon him (for he is now weary, and weak handed) I will defeat him: and when all the people is put to flight that is with him, I will kill the king who will be left alone.
3使眾民都歸順你。你所尋找的人 既然死了 ，眾民就如已經歸順你；這樣，也都平安無事了。」
3And I will bring back all the people, as if they were but one man: for thou seekest but one man: and all the people shall be in peace.
4押沙龍 和 以色列 的長老都以這話為美。
4And his saying pleased Absalom, and all the ancients of Israel.
5押沙龍 說：「要召 亞基 人 戶篩 來，我們也要聽他怎樣說。」
5But Absalom said: Call Chusai the Arachite, and let us hear what he also saith.
6戶篩 到了 押沙龍 面前， 押沙龍 向他說：「 亞希多弗 是如此如此說的，我們照着他的話行可以不可以？若不可，你就說吧！」
6And when Chusai was come to Absalom, Absalom said to him: Achitophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do it or not? what counsel dost thou give?
7戶篩 對 押沙龍 說：「 亞希多弗 這次所定的謀不善。」
7And Chusai said to Absalom: The counsel that Achitophel hath given this time is not good.
8戶篩 又說：「你知道，你父親和跟隨他的人都是勇士，現在他們心裏惱怒，如同田野丟崽子的母熊一般，而且你父親是個戰士，必不和民一同住宿。
8And again Chusai said: Thou knowest thy father, and the men that are with him, that they are very valiant, and bitter in their mind, as a bear raging in the wood when her whelps are taken away: and thy father is a warrior, and will not lodge with the people.
9他現今或藏在坑中或在別處，若有人首先被殺，凡聽見的必說：『跟隨 押沙龍 的民被殺了。』
9Perhaps he now lieth hid in pits, or in some other place where he list: and when any one shall fall at the first, every one that heareth it shall say: There is a slaughter among the people that followed Absalom.
10雖有人膽大如獅子，他的心也必消化；因為 以色列 人都知道你父親是英雄，跟隨他的人也都是勇士。
10And the most valiant man whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall melt for fear: for all the people of Israel know thy father to be a valiant man, and that all who are with him are valiant.
11依我之計，不如將 以色列 眾人－從 但 直到 別是巴 ，如同海邊的沙那樣多－聚集到你這裏來，你也親自率領他們出戰。
11But this seemeth to me to be good counsel: Let all Israel be gathered to thee, from Dan to Bersabee, as the sand of the sea which cannot be numbered: and thou shalt be in the midst of them.
12這樣，我們在何處遇見他，就下到他那裏，如同露水下在地上一般，連他帶跟隨他的人，一個也不留下。
12And we shall come upon him in what place soever he shall be found: and we shall cover him, as the dew falleth upon the ground, and we shall not leave of the men that are with him, not so much as one.
13他若進了哪一座城， 以色列 眾人必帶繩子去，將那城拉到河裏，甚至連一塊小石頭都不剩下。」
13And if he shall enter into any city, all Israel shall cast ropes round about that city, and we will draw it into the river, so that there shall not be found so much as one small stone thereof.
14押沙龍 和 以色列 眾人說：「 亞基 人 戶篩 的計謀比 亞希多弗 的計謀更好！」這是因耶和華定意破壞 亞希多弗 的良謀，為要降禍與 押沙龍 。
14And Absalom, and all the men of Israel said: The counsel of Chusai the Arachite is better than the counsel of Achitophel: and by the will of the Lord the profitable counsel of Achitophel was defeated, that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom.
15戶篩 對祭司 撒督 和 亞比亞他 說：「 亞希多弗 為 押沙龍 和 以色列 的長老所定的計謀是如此如此，我所定的計謀是如此如此。
15And Chusai said to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests: Thus and thus did Achitophel counsel Absalom, and the ancients of Israel: and thus and thus did I counsel them.
16現在你們要急速打發人去，告訴 大衛 說：『今夜不可住在曠野的渡口，務要過河，免得王和跟隨他的人都被吞滅。』」
16Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying: Tarry not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but without delay pass over: lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that is with him.
17那時， 約拿單 和 亞希瑪斯 在 隱‧羅結 那裏等候，不敢進城，恐怕被人看見。有一個使女出來，將這話告訴他們，他們就去報信給 大衛 王。
17And Jonathan and Achimaas stayed by the fountain Rogel: and there went a maid and told them: and they went forward, to carry the message to king David, for they might not be seen, nor enter into the city.
18然而有一個童子看見他們，就去告訴 押沙龍 。他們急忙跑到 巴戶琳 某人的家裏；那人院中有一口井，他們就下到井裏。
18But a certain boy saw them, and told Absalom: but they making haste went into the house of a certain man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, and they went down into it.
19那家的婦人用蓋蓋上井口，又在上頭鋪上碎麥，事就沒有洩漏。
19And a woman took, and spread a covering over the mouth of the well, as it were to dry sodden barley: and so the thing was not known.
20押沙龍 的僕人來到那家，問婦人說：「 亞希瑪斯 和 約拿單 在哪裏？」婦人說：「他們過了河了。」 僕人找他們，找不着，就回 耶路撒冷 去了。
20And when Absalom’s servants were come into the house, they said to the woman: Where is Achimaas and Jonathan? and the woman answered them: They passed on in haste, after they had tasted a little water. But they that sought them, when they found them not, returned into Jerusalem.
21他們走後，二人從井裏上來，去告訴 大衛 王說：「 亞希多弗 如此如此定計害你，你們務要起來，快快過河。」
21And when they were gone, they came up out of the well, and going on told king David, and said: Arise, and pass quickly over the river: for this manner of counsel has Achitophel given against you.
22於是 大衛 和跟隨他的人都起來，過 約旦河 。到了天亮，無一人不過 約旦河 的。
22So David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan, until it grew light, and not one of them was left that was not gone over the river.
23亞希多弗 見不依從他的計謀，就備上驢，歸回本城；到了家，留下遺言，便吊死了，葬在他父親的墳墓裏。
23But Achitophel seeing that his counsel was not followed, saddled his ass, and arose and went home to his house and to his city, and putting his house in order, hanged himself, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
24大衛 到了 瑪哈念 ， 押沙龍 和跟隨他的 以色列 人也都過了 約旦河 。
24But David came to the camp, and Absalom passed over the Jordan, be and all the men of Israel with him.
25押沙龍 立 亞瑪撒 作元帥，代替 約押 。 亞瑪撒 是 以實瑪利 人 以特拉 的兒子。 以特拉 曾與 拿轄 的女兒 亞比該 親近；這 亞比該 與 約押 的母親 洗魯雅 是姊妹。
25Now Absalom appointed Amasa in Joab’s stead over the army: and Amasa was the son of a man who was called Jethra of Jezrael, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Naas, the sister of Sarvia who was the mother of Joab.
26押沙龍 和 以色列 人都安營在 基列 地。
26And Israel camped with Absalom in the land of Galaad.
27大衛 到了 瑪哈念 ， 亞捫 族的 拉巴 人 拿轄 的兒子 朔比 ， 羅‧底巴 人 亞‧米利 的兒子 瑪吉 ， 基列 的 羅基琳 人 巴西萊 ，
27And when David was come to the camp, Sobi the son of Naas of Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammihel of Lodabar, and Berzellai the Galaadite of Rogelim,
28帶着被、褥、盆、碗、瓦器、小麥、大麥、麥麵、炒 穀 、豆子、紅豆、炒 豆 、
28Brought him beds, and tapestry, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched corn, and beans, and lentils, and fried pulse,
29蜂蜜、奶油、綿羊、奶餅，供給 大衛 和跟隨他的人吃；他們說：「民在曠野，必飢渴困乏了。」
29And honey, and butter, and sheep, and fat calves, and they gave to David and the people that were with him, to eat: for they suspected that the people were faint with hunger and thirst in the wilderness.
