撒母耳記下 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English 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, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag,
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, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and earth on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the earth and showed respect.
3大衛 問他說：「你從哪裏來？」他說：「我從 以色列 的營裏逃來。」
3David said to him, “Where do you come from?” He said to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”
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。」
4David said to him, “How did it go? Please tell me.” He answered, “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead. Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.”
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？」
5David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son 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。
6The young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed close behind him.
7他回頭看見我，就呼叫我。我說：『我在這裏。』
7When he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. I answered, ‘Here I am.’
8他問我說：『你是甚麼人？』我說：『我是 亞瑪力 人。』
8He said to me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered 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。』
9He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me, for anguish has taken hold of me because my life lingers in me.’
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 beside him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and 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 clothes and tore them; and all the men who were with him did likewise.
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, wept, and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for 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。」
13David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.”
14大衛 說：「你伸手殺害耶和華的受膏者，怎麼不畏懼呢？」
14David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to stretch out 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！」
15David called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and cut him down!” He struck him so that 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。
16David said to him, “Your blood be on your head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have slain the LORD’s anointed.’”
17大衛 作哀歌，弔 掃羅 和他兒子 約拿單 ，
17David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son
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。
18(and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow; behold, 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, Israel, was slain on your high places! 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。
20Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
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。
21You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, and no fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was defiled and cast away, the shield of Saul was not 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, Jonathan’s bow didn’t turn back. Saul’s sword didn’t 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 were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided. 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。
24You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you delicately in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
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 middle of the battle! Jonathan was slain on your high places.
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 am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, 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!”
