撒母耳記下 2
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1此後， 大衛 問耶和華說：「我上 猶大 的一個城去可以嗎？」耶和華說：「可以。」 大衛 說：「我上哪一個城去呢？」耶和華說：「上 希伯崙 去。」
1And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the LORD , saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
2於是 大衛 和他的兩個妻－一個是 耶斯列 人 亞希暖 ，一個是作過 迦密 人 拿八 妻的 亞比該 －都上那裏去了。
2So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal’s wife the Carmelite.
3大衛 也將跟隨他的人和他們各人的眷屬一同帶上去，住在 希伯崙 的城邑中。
3And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
4猶大 人來到 希伯崙 ，在那裏膏 大衛 作 猶大 家的王。 有人告訴 大衛 說：「葬埋 掃羅 的是 基列‧雅比 人。」
4And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabesh-gilead were they that buried Saul.
5大衛 就差人去見 基列‧雅比 人，對他們說：「你們厚待你們的主－ 掃羅 ，將他葬埋。願耶和華賜福與你們！
5¶ And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD , that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
6你們既行了這事，願耶和華以慈愛誠實待你們，我也要為此厚待你們。
6And now the LORD shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.
7現在你們的主－ 掃羅 死了， 猶大 家已經膏我作他們的王，所以你們要剛強奮勇。」
7Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
8掃羅 的元帥 尼珥 的兒子 押尼珥 ，曾將 掃羅 的兒子 伊施波設 帶過 河 ，到 瑪哈念 ，
8¶ But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s host, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
9立他作王，治理 基列 、 亞書利 、 耶斯列 、 以法蓮 、 便雅憫 ，和 以色列 眾人。
9And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
10掃羅 的兒子 伊施波設 登基的時候年四十歲，作 以色列 王二年；惟獨 猶大 家歸從 大衛 。
10Ish-bosheth Saul’s son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
11大衛 在 希伯崙 作 猶大 家的王，共七年零六個月。
11And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
12尼珥 的兒子 押尼珥 和 掃羅 的兒子 伊施波設 的僕人從 瑪哈念 出來，往 基遍 去。
12¶ And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13洗魯雅 的兒子 約押 和 大衛 的僕人也出來，在 基遍 池旁與他們相遇；一班坐在池這邊，一班坐在池那邊。
13And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
14押尼珥 對 約押 說：「讓少年人起來，在我們面前戲耍吧！」 約押 說：「可以。」
14And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
15就按着定數起來：屬 掃羅 兒子 伊施波設 的 便雅憫 人過去十二名， 大衛 的僕人也過去十二名，
15Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
16彼此揪頭，用刀刺肋，一同仆倒。所以，那地叫做 希利甲‧哈素林 ，就在 基遍 。
16And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
17那日的戰事凶猛， 押尼珥 和 以色列 人敗在 大衛 的僕人面前。
17And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
18在那裏有 洗魯雅 的三個兒子： 約押 、 亞比篩 、 亞撒黑 。 亞撒黑 腳快如野鹿一般；
18¶ And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
19亞撒黑 追趕 押尼珥 ，直追趕他不偏左右。
19And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
20押尼珥 回頭說：「你是 亞撒黑 嗎？」回答說：「是。」
20Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am .
21押尼珥 對他說：「你或轉向左轉向右，拿住一個少年人，剝去他的戰衣。」 亞撒黑 卻不肯轉開不追趕他。
21And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.
22押尼珥 又對 亞撒黑 說：「你轉開不追趕我吧！我何必殺你呢？若殺你，有甚麼臉見你哥哥 約押 呢？」
22And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
23亞撒黑 仍不肯轉開。故此， 押尼珥 就用槍鐏刺入他的肚腹，甚至槍從背後透出， 亞撒黑 就在那裏仆倒而死。眾人趕到 亞撒黑 仆倒而死的地方，就都站住。
23Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib , that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
24約押 和 亞比篩 追趕 押尼珥 ，日落的時候，到了通 基遍 曠野的路旁， 基亞 對面的 亞瑪山 。
24Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
25便雅憫 人聚集，跟隨 押尼珥 站在一個山頂上。
25¶ And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.
26押尼珥 呼叫 約押 說：「刀劍豈可永遠殺人嗎？你豈不知終久必有苦楚嗎？你要等何時才叫百姓回去、不追趕弟兄呢？」
26Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?
27約押 說：「我指着永生的上帝起誓：你若不說 戲耍的 那句話，今日早晨百姓就回去，不追趕弟兄了。」
27And Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
28於是 約押 吹角，眾民就站住，不再追趕 以色列 人，也不再打仗了。
28So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
29押尼珥 和跟隨他的人整夜經過 亞拉巴 ，過 約旦河 ，走過 畢倫 ，到了 瑪哈念 。
29And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
30約押 追趕 押尼珥 回來，聚集眾民，見 大衛 的僕人中缺少了十九個人和 亞撒黑 。
30And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David’s servants nineteen men and Asahel.
31但 大衛 的僕人殺了 便雅憫 人和跟隨 押尼珥 的人，共三百六十名。
31But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner’s men, so that three hundred and threescore men died.
32眾人將 亞撒黑 送到 伯利恆 ，葬在他父親的墳墓裏。 約押 和跟隨他的人走了一夜，天亮的時候到了 希伯崙 。
32¶ And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
