撒母耳記下 20
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1在那裏恰巧有一個匪徒，名叫 示巴 ，是 便雅憫 人 比基利 的兒子。他吹角，說：「我們與 大衛 無分，與 耶西 的兒子無涉。 以色列 人哪，你們各回各家去吧！」
1And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
2於是 以色列 人都離開 大衛 ，跟隨 比基利 的兒子 示巴 。但 猶大 人從 約旦河 直到 耶路撒冷 ，都緊緊跟隨他們的王。
2So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
3大衛 王來到 耶路撒冷 ，進了宮殿，就把從前留下看守宮殿的十個妃嬪禁閉在 冷宮 ，養活她們，不與她們親近。她們如同寡婦被禁，直到死的日子。
3¶ And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.
4王對 亞瑪撒 說：「你要在三日之內將 猶大 人招聚了來，你也回到這裏來。」
4¶ Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.
5亞瑪撒 就去招聚 猶大 人，卻耽延過了王所限的日期。
5So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
6大衛 對 亞比篩 說：「現在恐怕 比基利 的兒子 示巴 加害於我們比 押沙龍 更甚。你要帶領你主的僕人追趕他，免得他得了堅固城，躲避我們。」
6And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord’s servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.
7約押 的人和 基利提 人、 比利提 人，並所有的勇士，都跟着 亞比篩 ，從 耶路撒冷 出去追趕 比基利 的兒子 示巴 。
7And there went out after him Joab’s men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
8他們到了 基遍 的大磐石那裏， 亞瑪撒 來迎接他們。那時 約押 穿着戰衣，腰束佩刀的帶子，刀在鞘內； 約押 前行，刀從鞘內掉出來。
8When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab’s garment that he had put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.
9約押 左手拾起刀來 ，對 亞瑪撒 說：「我兄弟，你好啊！」就用右手抓住 亞瑪撒 的鬍子，要與他親嘴。
9And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
10亞瑪撒 沒有防備 約押 手裏所拿的刀； 約押 用刀刺入他的肚腹，他的腸子流在地上，沒有再刺他，就死了。 約押 和他兄弟 亞比篩 往前追趕 比基利 的兒子 示巴 。
10But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib , and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
11有 約押 的一個少年人站在 亞瑪撒 屍身旁邊， 對眾人 說：「誰喜悅 約押 ，誰歸順 大衛 ，就當跟隨 約押 去。」
11And one of Joab’s men stood by him, and said, He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab.
12亞瑪撒 在道路上滾在自己的血裏。那人見眾民 經過 都站住，就把 亞瑪撒 的屍身從路上挪到田間，用衣服遮蓋。
12And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.
13屍身從路上挪移之後，眾民就都跟隨 約押 去追趕 比基利 的兒子 示巴 。
13When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
14他走遍 以色列 各支派，直到 伯‧瑪迦 的 亞比拉 ，並 比利 人的全地；那些地方的人也都聚集跟隨他。
14¶ And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Beth-maachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.
15約押 和跟隨的人到了 伯‧瑪迦 的 亞比拉 ，圍困 示巴 ，就對着城築壘；跟隨 約押 的眾民 用錘 撞城，要使城塌陷。
15And they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
16有一個聰明婦人從城上呼叫說：「聽啊，聽啊，請 約押 近前來，我好與他說話。」
16¶ Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.
17約押 就近前來，婦人問他說：「你是 約押 不是？」他說：「我是。」婦人說：「求你聽婢女的話。」 約押 說：「我聽。」
17And when he was come near unto her, the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am he . Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
18婦人說：「古時有話說，當先在 亞比拉 求問，然後事就定妥。
18Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter .
19我們這城的人在 以色列 人中是和平、忠厚的。你為何要毀壞 以色列 中的大城，吞滅耶和華的產業呢？」
19I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD ?
20約押 回答說：「我決不吞滅毀壞，
20And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
21乃因 以法蓮 山地的一個人－ 比基利 的兒子 示巴 －舉手攻擊 大衛 王，你們若將他一人交出來，我便離城而去。」婦人對 約押 說：「那人的首級必從城牆上丟給你。」
21The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
22婦人就憑她的智慧去勸眾人。他們便割下 比基利 的兒子 示巴 的首級，丟給 約押 。 約押 吹角，眾人就離城而散，各歸各家去了。 約押 回 耶路撒冷 ，到王那裏。
22Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
23約押 作 以色列 全軍的元帥； 耶何耶大 的兒子 比拿雅 統轄 基利提 人和 比利提 人；
23¶ Now Joab was over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:
24亞多蘭 掌管服苦的人； 亞希律 的兒子 約沙法 作史官；
24And Adoram was over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:
25示法 作書記； 撒督 和 亞比亞他 作祭司 長 ；
25And Sheva was scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:
26睚珥 人 以拉 作 大衛 的宰相。
26And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.
