撒母耳記下 21
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1大衛 年間有饑荒，一連三年， 大衛 就求問耶和華。耶和華說：「這饑荒是因 掃羅 和他流人血之家殺死 基遍 人。」
1During the reign of David there was a famine for three successive years, and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, “It is because of the blood shed by Saul and his family, because he killed the Gibeonites.”
2原來這 基遍 人不是 以色列 人，乃是 亞摩利 人中所剩的； 以色列 人曾向他們起誓， 不殺滅他們 ， 掃羅 卻為 以色列 人和 猶大 人發熱心，想要殺滅他們。 大衛 王召了他們來，
2At this, David summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not Israelites, but a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had taken an oath concerning them, but in his zeal for Israel and Judah, Saul had sought to kill them.)
3問他們說：「我當為你們怎樣行呢？可用甚麼贖這罪，使你們為耶和華的產業祝福呢？」
3So David asked the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? How can I make amends so that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?”
4基遍 人回答說：「我們和 掃羅 與他家的事並不關乎金銀，也不要因我們的緣故殺一個 以色列 人。」 大衛 說：「你們怎樣說，我就為你們怎樣行。」
4The Gibeonites said to him, “We need no silver or gold from Saul or his house, nor should you put to death anyone in Israel for us.” “Whatever you ask, I will do for you,” he replied.
5他們對王說：「那從前謀害我們、要滅我們、使我們不得再住 以色列 境內的人，
5And they answered the king, “As for the man who consumed us and plotted against us to exterminate us from existing within any border of Israel,
6現在願將他的子孫七人交給我們，我們好在耶和華面前，將他們懸掛在耶和華揀選 掃羅 的 基比亞 。」王說：「我必交給你們。」
6let seven of his male descendants be delivered to us so that we may hang them before the LORD at Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD.” “I will give them to you,” said the king.
7王因為曾與 掃羅 的兒子 約拿單 指着耶和華起誓 結盟 ，就愛惜 掃羅 的孫子、 約拿單 的兒子 米非波設 ， 不交出來 ，
7Now the king spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath before the LORD between David and Jonathan son of Saul.
8卻把 愛雅 的女兒 利斯巴 給 掃羅 所生的兩個兒子 亞摩尼 、 米非波設 ，和 掃羅 女兒 米甲 的姊姊 給 米何拉 人 巴西萊 兒子 亞得列 所生的五個兒子
8But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons whom Rizpah daughter of Aiah had borne to Saul, as well as the five sons whom Merab daughter of Saul had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9交在 基遍 人的手裏。 基遍 人就把他們，在耶和華面前，懸掛在山上，這七人就一同死亡。被殺的時候正是收割的日子，就是動手割大麥的時候。
9And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before the LORD. So all seven of them fell together; they were put to death in the first days of the harvest, at the beginning of the barley harvest.
10愛雅 的女兒 利斯巴 用麻布在磐石上搭棚，從動手收割的時候直到天降雨在屍身上的時候，日間不容空中的雀鳥落在屍身上，夜間不讓田野的走獸前來糟踐。
10And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on a rock. From the beginning of the harvest until the rain from heaven poured down on the bodies, she did not allow the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11有人將 掃羅 的妃嬪 愛雅 女兒 利斯巴 所行的這事告訴 大衛 。
11When David was told what Saul’s concubine Rizpah, daughter of Aiah, had done,
12大衛 就去，從 基列‧雅比 人那裏將 掃羅 和他兒子 約拿單 的骸骨搬了來（是因 非利士 人從前在 基利波 殺 掃羅 ，將屍身懸掛在 伯‧珊 的街市上， 基列‧雅比 人把屍身偷了去。）
12he went and took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth-shan where the Philistines had hung the bodies after they had struck down Saul at Gilboa.
13大衛 將 掃羅 和他兒子 約拿單 的骸骨從那裏搬了來，又收殮被懸掛七人的骸骨，
13So David had the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan brought from there, along with the bones of those who had been hanged.
14將 掃羅 和他兒子 約拿單 的骸骨葬在 便雅憫 的 洗拉 ，在 掃羅 父親 基士 的墳墓裏；眾人行了王所吩咐的。此後上帝垂聽國民所求的。
14And they buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in Zela in the land of Benjamin, in the tomb of Saul’s father Kish. After they had done everything the king had commanded, God answered their prayers for the land.
15非利士 人與 以色列 人打仗； 大衛 帶領僕人下去，與 非利士 人接戰， 大衛 就疲乏了。
15Once again the Philistines waged war against Israel, and David and his servants went down and fought against the Philistines; but David became exhausted.
16偉人的一個兒子 以實‧比諾 要殺 大衛 ；他的銅槍重三百 舍客勒 ，又佩着新 刀 。
16Then Ishbi-benob, a descendant of Rapha, whose bronze spear weighed three hundred shekels and who was bearing a new sword, resolved to kill David.
17但 洗魯雅 的兒子 亞比篩 幫助 大衛 ，攻打 非利士 人，將他殺死。當日，跟隨 大衛 的人向 大衛 起誓說：「以後你不可再與我們一同出戰，恐怕熄滅 以色列 的燈。」
17But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to his aid, struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him, “You must never again go out with us to battle, so that the lamp of Israel may not be extinguished.”
18後來， 以色列 人在 歌伯 與 非利士 人打仗， 戶沙 人 西比該 殺了偉人的一個兒子 撒弗 。
18Some time later at Gob, there was another battle with the Philistines. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, one of the descendants of Rapha.
19又在 歌伯 與 非利士 人打仗， 伯利恆 人 雅雷俄珥金 的兒子 伊勒哈難 殺了 迦特 人 歌利亞 。這人的槍桿粗如織布的機軸。
19Once again there was a battle with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
20又在 迦特 打仗，那裏有一個身量高大的人，手腳都是六指，共有二十四個指頭；他也是偉人的兒子。
20And there was still another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,
21這人向 以色列 人罵陣， 大衛 的哥哥 示米亞 的兒子 約拿單 就殺了他。
21and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.
22這四個人是 迦特 偉人的兒子，都死在 大衛 和他僕人的手下。
22So these four descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
