撒母耳記下 19
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1有人告訴 約押 說：「王為 押沙龍 哭泣悲哀。」
1And it was told Joab, that the king wept and mourned for his son:
2眾民聽說王為他兒子憂愁，他們得勝的歡樂卻變成悲哀。
2And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day: The king grieveth for his son.
3那日眾民暗暗地進城，就如敗陣逃跑、慚愧的民一般。
3And the people shunned the going into the city that day as a people would do that hath turned their backs, and fled away from the battle.
4王蒙着臉，大聲哭號說：「我兒 押沙龍 啊！ 押沙龍 ，我兒，我兒啊！」
4And the king covered his head, and cried with a loud voice: O my son Absalom, O Absalom my son, O my son.
5約押 進去見王，說：「你今日使你一切僕人臉面慚愧了！他們今日救了你的性命和你兒女妻妾的性命，
5Then Joab going into the house to the king, said: Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, that have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons, and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines.
6你卻愛那恨你的人，恨那愛你的人。你今日明明地不以將帥、僕人為念。我今日看明，若 押沙龍 活着，我們都死亡，你就喜悅了。
6Thou lovest them that hate thee, and thou hatest them that love thee: and thou hast shewn this day that thou carest not for thy nobles, nor for thy servants: and I now plainly perceive that if Absalom had lived, and all we had been slain, then it would have pleased thee.
7現在你當出去，安慰你僕人的心。我指着耶和華起誓：你若不出去，今夜必無一人與你同在一處；這禍患就比你從幼年到如今所遭的更甚！」
7Now therefore arise, and go out, and speak to the satisfaction of thy servants: for I swear to thee by the Lord, that if thou wilt not go forth, there will not tarry with thee so much as one this night: and that will be worse to thee, than all the evils that have befallen thee from thy youth until now.
8於是王起來，坐在城門口。眾民聽說王坐在城門口，就都到王面前。 以色列 人已經逃跑，各回各家去了。
8Then the king arose and sat in the gate: and it was told to all the people that the king sat in the gate: and all the people came before the king, but Israel fled to their own dwellings.
9以色列 眾支派的人紛紛議論說：「王曾救我們脫離仇敵的手，又救我們脫離 非利士 人的手，現在他躲避 押沙龍 逃走了。
9And all the people were at strife in all the tribes of Israel, saying: The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines: and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom.
10我們膏 押沙龍 治理我們，他已經陣亡。現在為甚麼不出一言請王回來呢？」
10But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in the battle: how long are you silent, and bring not back the king?
11大衛 王差人去見祭司 撒督 和 亞比亞他 ，說：「你們當向 猶大 長老說：『 以色列 眾人已經有話請王回宮，你們為甚麼落在他們後頭呢？
11And king David sent to Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, saying: Speak to the ancients of Juda, saying: Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house? (For the talk of all Israel was come to the king in his house.)
12你們是我的弟兄，是我的骨肉，為甚麼在人後頭請王回來呢？』
12You are my brethren, you are my bone, and my flesh, why are you the last to bring back the king?
13也要對 亞瑪撒 說：『你不是我的骨肉嗎？我若不立你替 約押 常作元帥，願上帝重重地降罰與我！』」
13And say ye to Amasa: Art not thou my bone, and my flesh? So do God to me and add more, if thou be not the chief captain of the army before me always in the place of Joab.
14如此就挽回 猶大 眾人的心，如同一人的心。他們便打發人去見王，說：「請王和王的一切臣僕回來。」
14And be inclined the heart of all the men of Juda, as it were of one man: and they sent to the king, saying: Return thou, and all thy servants.
15王就回來，到了 約旦河 。 猶大 人來到 吉甲 ，要去迎接王，請他過 約旦河 。
15And the king returned and came as far as the Jordan, and all Juda came as far as Galgal to meet the king, and to bring him over the Jordan.
16巴戶琳 的 便雅憫 人、 基拉 的兒子 示每 急忙與 猶大 人一同下去迎接 大衛 王。
16And Semei the son of Gera the son of Jemini of Bahurim, made haste and went down with the men of Juda to meet king David,
17跟從 示每 的有一千 便雅憫 人，還有 掃羅 家的僕人 洗巴 和他十五個兒子，二十個僕人；他們都詵過 約旦河 迎接王。
17With a thousand men of Benjamin, and Siba the servant of the house of Saul: and his fifteen sons, and twenty servants were with him: and going over the Jordan,
18有擺渡船過去，渡王的家眷，任王使用。 王要過 約旦河 的時候， 基拉 的兒子 示每 就俯伏在王面前，
18They passed the fords before the king, that they might help over the king’s household, and do according to his commandment. And Semei the son of Gera falling down before the king, when he was come over the Jordan,
19對王說：「我主我王出 耶路撒冷 的時候，僕人行悖逆的事，現在求我主不要因此加罪與僕人，不要記念，也不要放在心上。
19Said to him: Impute not to me, my lord, the iniquity, nor remember the injuries of thy servant on the day that thou, my lord, the king, wentest out of Jerusalem, nor lay it up in thy heart, O king.
20僕人明知自己有罪，所以 約瑟 全家之中，今日我首先下來迎接我主我王。」
20For I thy servant acknowledge my sin: and therefore I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph, and am come down to meet my lord the king.
21洗魯雅 的兒子 亞比篩 說：「 示每 既咒罵耶和華的受膏者，不應當治死他嗎？」
21But Abisai the son of Sarvia answering, said: Shall Semei for these words not be put to death, because he cursed the Lord’s anointed?
22大衛 說：「 洗魯雅 的兒子，我與你們有何關涉，使你們今日與我反對呢？今日在 以色列 中豈可治死人呢？我豈不知今日我作 以色列 的王嗎？」
22And David said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? why are you a satan this day to me? shall there any man be killed this day in Israel? do not I know that this day I am made king over Israel?
23於是王對 示每 說：「你必不死。」王就向他起誓。
23And the king said to Semei: Thou shalt not die. And he swore unto him.
24掃羅 的孫子 米非波設 也下去迎接王。他自從王去的日子，直到王平平安安地回來，沒有修腳，沒有剃鬍鬚，也沒有洗衣服。
24And Miphiboseth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard: nor washed his garments from the day that the king went out, until the day of his return in peace.
25他來到 耶路撒冷 迎接王的時候，王問他說：「 米非波設 ，你為甚麼沒有與我同去呢？」
25And when he met the king at Jerusalem, the king said to him: Why camest thou not with me, Miphiboseth?
26他回答說：「我主我王，僕人是瘸腿的。那日我想要備驢騎上，與王同去，無奈我的僕人欺哄了我，
26And he answering, said: My lord, O king, my servant despised me: for I thy servant spoke to him to saddle me an ass, that I might get on and go with the king: for I thy servant am lame.
27又在我主我王面前讒毀我。然而我主我王如同上帝的使者一般，你看怎樣好，就怎樣行吧！
27Moreover he hath also accused me thy servant to thee, my lord the king: but thou my lord the king art as an angel of God, do what pleaseth thee.
28因為我祖全家的人，在我主我王面前都算為死人，王卻使僕人在王的席上同人吃飯，我現在向王還能辨理訴冤嗎？」
28For all of my father’s house were no better than worthy of death before my lord the king; and thou hast set me thy servant among the guests of thy table: what just complaint therefore have I? or what right to cry any more to the king?
29王對他說：「你何必再提你的事呢？我說，你與 洗巴 均分地土。」
29Then the king said to him: Why speakest thou any more? what I have said is determined: thou and Siba divide the possessions.
30米非波設 對王說：「我主我王既平平安安地回宮，就任憑 洗巴 都取了也可以。」
30And Miphiboseth answered the king: Yea, let him take all, for as much as my lord the king is returned peaceably into his house.
31基列 人 巴西萊 從 羅基琳 下來，要送王過 約旦河 ，就與王一同過了 約旦河 。
31Berzellai also the Galaadite coming down from Rogelim, brought the king over the Jordan, being ready also to wait on him beyond the river.
32巴西萊 年紀老邁，已經八十歲了。王住在 瑪哈念 的時候，他就拿食物來供給王；他原是大富戶。
32Now Berzellai the Galaadite was of a great age, that is to say, fourscore years old, and he provided the king with sustenance when he abode in the camp: for he was a man exceeding rich.
33王對 巴西萊 說：「你與我同去，我要在 耶路撒冷 那裏養你的老。」
33And the king said to Berzellai: Come with me that thou mayest rest secure with me in Jerusalem.
34巴西萊 對王說：「我在世的年日還能有多少，使我與王同上 耶路撒冷 呢？
34And Berzellai said to the king: How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
35僕人現在八十歲了，還能嘗出飲食的滋味、辨別美惡嗎？還能聽男女歌唱的聲音嗎？僕人何必累贅我主我王呢？
35I am this day fourscore years old, are my senses quick to discern sweet and bitter? or can meat or drink delight thy servant? or can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? why should thy servant be a burden to my lord, the king?
36僕人只要送王過 約旦河 ，王何必賜我這樣的恩典呢？
36I thy servant will go on a little way from the Jordan with thee: I need not this recompense.
37求你准我回去，好死在我本城， 葬在 我父母的墓旁。這裏有王的僕人 金罕 ，讓他同我主我王過去，可以隨意待他。」
37But I beseech thee let thy servant return, and die in my own city, and be buried by the sepulchre of my father, and of my mother. But there is thy servant Chamaam, let him go with thee, my lord, the king, and do to him whatsoever seemeth good to thee.
38王說：「 金罕 可以與我同去，我必照你的心願待他。你向我求甚麼，我都必為你成就。」
38Then the king said to him: Let Chamaam go over with me, and I will do for him whatsoever shall please thee, and all that thou shalt ask of me, thou shalt obtain.
39於是眾民過 約旦河 ，王也過去。王與 巴西萊 親嘴，為他祝福， 巴西萊 就回本地去了。
39And when all the people and the king had passed over the Jordan, the king kissed Berzellai, and blessed him: and he returned to his own place.
40王過去，到了 吉甲 ， 金罕 也跟他過去。 猶大 眾民和 以色列 民的一半也都送王過去。
40So the king went on to Galgal, and Chamaam with him. Now all the people of Juda had brought the king over, and only half of the people of Israel were there.
41以色列 眾人來見王，對他說：「我們弟兄 猶大 人為甚麼暗暗送王和王的家眷，並跟隨王的人過 約旦河 ？」
41Therefore all the men of Israel running together to the king, said to him: Why have our brethren the men of Juda stolen thee away, and have brought the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?
42猶大 眾人回答 以色列 人說：「因為王與我們是親屬，你們為何因這事發怒呢？我們吃了王的甚麼呢？王賞賜了我們甚麼呢？」
42And all the men of Juda answered the men of Israel: Because the king is nearer to me: why art thou angry for this matter? have we eaten any thing of the king’s, or have any gifts been given us?
43以色列 人回答 猶大 人說：「按支派，我們與王有十分的情分；在 大衛 身上，我們也比你們更有情分。你們為何藐視我們，請王回來不先與我們商量呢？」 但 猶大 人的話比 以色列 人的話更硬。
43And the men of Israel answered the men of Juda, and said: I have ten parts in the king more than thou, and David belongeth to me more than to thee: why hast thou done me a wrong, and why was it not told me first, that I might bring back my king? And the men of Juda answered more harshly than the men of Israel.
