撒母耳記下 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1掃羅 死後， 大衛 擊殺 亞瑪力 人回來，在 洗革拉 住了兩天。
1After the death of Saul, David returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites and stayed in Ziklag two days.
2第三天，有一人從 掃羅 的營裏出來，衣服撕裂，頭蒙灰塵，到 大衛 面前伏地叩拜。
2On the third day a man with torn clothes and dust on his head arrived from Saul’s camp. When he came to David, he fell to the ground to pay him homage.
3大衛 問他說：「你從哪裏來？」他說：「我從 以色列 的營裏逃來。」
3“Where have you come from?” David asked. “I have escaped from the Israelite camp,” he replied.
4大衛 又問他說：「事情怎樣？請你告訴我。」他回答說：「百姓從陣上逃跑，也有許多人仆倒死亡； 掃羅 和他兒子 約拿單 也死了。」
4“What was the outcome?” David asked. “Please tell me.” “The troops fled from the battle,” he replied. “Many of them fell and died. And Saul and his son Jonathan are also dead.”
5大衛 問報信的少年人說：「你怎麼知道 掃羅 和他兒子 約拿單 死了呢？」
5Then David asked the young man who had brought him the report, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
6報信的少年人說：「我偶然到 基利波山 ，看見 掃羅 伏在自己槍上，有戰車、馬兵緊緊地追他。
6“I happened to be on Mount Gilboa,” he replied, “and there was Saul, leaning on his spear, with the chariots and the cavalry closing in on him.
7他回頭看見我，就呼叫我。我說：『我在這裏。』
7When he turned around and saw me, he called out and I answered, ‘Here I am!’
8他問我說：『你是甚麼人？』我說：『我是 亞瑪力 人。』
8‘Who are you?’ he asked. So I told him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
9他說：『請你來，將我殺死；因為痛苦抓住我，我的生命尚存。』
9Then he begged me, ‘Stand over me and kill me, for agony has seized me, but my life still lingers.’
10我準知他仆倒必不能活，就去將他殺死，把他頭上的冠冕、臂上的鐲子拿到我主這裏。」
10So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord.”
11大衛 就撕裂衣服，跟隨他的人也是如此，
11Then David took hold of his own clothes and tore them, and all the men who were with him did the same.
12而且悲哀哭號，禁食到晚上，是因 掃羅 和他兒子 約拿單 ，並耶和華的民 以色列 家的人，倒在刀下。
12They mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the people of the LORD and the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
13大衛 問報信的少年人說：「你是哪裏的人？」他說：「我是 亞瑪力 客人的兒子。」
13And David inquired of the young man who had brought him the report, “Where are you from?” “I am the son of a foreigner,” he answered. “I am an Amalekite.”
14大衛 說：「你伸手殺害耶和華的受膏者，怎麼不畏懼呢？」
14So David asked him, “Why were you not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”
15大衛 叫了一個少年人來，說：「你去殺他吧！」
15Then David summoned one of the young men and said, “Go, execute him!” So the young man struck him down, and he died.
16大衛 對他說：「你流人血的罪歸到自己的頭上，因為你親口作見證說：『我殺了耶和華的受膏者。』」少年人就把他殺了。
16For David had said to the Amalekite, “Your blood be on your own head because your own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I killed the LORD’s anointed.’”
17大衛 作哀歌，弔 掃羅 和他兒子 約拿單 ，
17Then David took up this lament for Saul and his son Jonathan,
18且吩咐將這歌教導 猶大 人。這歌名叫「弓歌」，寫在 雅煞珥 書上。
18and he ordered that the sons of Judah be taught the Song of the Bow. It is written in the Book of Jashar:
19歌中說 ： 以色列 啊， 你尊榮者在山上被殺！ 大英雄何竟死亡！
19“Your glory, O Israel, lies slain on your heights. How the mighty have fallen!
20不要在 迦特 報告； 不要在 亞實基倫 街上傳揚； 免得 非利士 的女子歡樂； 免得未受割禮之人的女子矜誇。
20Tell it not in Gath; proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, and the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.
21基利波山 哪，願你那裏沒有雨露！ 願你田地無土產可作供物！ 因為英雄的盾牌在那裏被污丟棄； 掃羅 的盾牌彷彿未曾抹油。
21O mountains of Gilboa, may you have no dew or rain, no fields yielding offerings of grain. For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, the shield of Saul, no longer anointed with oil.
22約拿單 的弓箭非流敵人的血不退縮； 掃羅 的刀劍非剖勇士的油不收回。
22From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not retreat, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
23掃羅 和 約拿單 － 活時相悅相愛，死時也不分離 －他們比鷹更快，比獅子還強。
23Saul and Jonathan, beloved and delightful in life, were not divided in death. They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
24以色列 的女子啊，當為 掃羅 哭號！ 他曾使你們穿朱紅色的美衣， 使你們衣服有黃金的妝飾。
24O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet and luxury, who decked your garments with ornaments of gold.
25英雄何竟在陣上仆倒！ 約拿單 何竟在山上被殺！
25How the mighty have fallen in the thick of battle! Jonathan lies slain on your heights.
26我兄 約拿單 哪，我為你悲傷！ 我甚喜悅你！ 你向我發的愛情奇妙非常， 過於婦女的愛情。
26I grieve for you, Jonathan, my brother. You were delightful to me; your love to me was extraordinary, surpassing the love of women.
27英雄何竟仆倒！ 戰具何竟滅沒！
27How the mighty have fallen and the weapons of war have perished!”
