撒母耳記下 2
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
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。」
1After this, David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?” The LORD said to him, “Go up.” David said, “Where shall I go up?” He said, “To 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 there with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal 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。
3David brought up his men who were with him, every man with his household. They lived 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。」
4The men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. They told David, “The men of Jabesh Gilead were those who 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！
5David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, “Blessed are you by the LORD, that you have shown this kindness to your lord, even to 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。
6Now may the LORD show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you 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。」
7Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be valiant; for Saul your lord 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 ，
8Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s army, had taken Ishbosheth 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。
9He made him king over Gilead, over the Ashurites, over Jezreel, over Ephraim, 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 。
10Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he 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。
11The 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。
12Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth 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。
13Joab the son of Zeruiah and David’s servants went out, and met them 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。」
14Abner said to Joab, “Please let the young men arise and compete before us!” 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 they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of David’s servants.
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 。
16They each caught his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim.
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。
17The battle was very severe that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before David’s servants.
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；
18The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Asahel was as light of foot as a wild gazelle.
19亞撒黑 追趕 押尼珥 ，直追趕他不偏左右。
19Asahel pursued Abner. He didn’t turn to the right hand or 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, “Is that you, Asahel?” He answered, “It is.”
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。
21Abner said to him, “Turn away to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor.” But Asahel would not turn away from following 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？」
22Abner said again to Asahel, “Turn away from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I look Joab your brother in the face?”
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。
23However, he refused to turn away. Therefore Abner with the back end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there and died in the same place. 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 。
24But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner. The sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies 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。
25The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner and became one band, and stood on the top of a 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 forever? Don’t you know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long will it be then, before you ask the people to return from following their brothers?”
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。」
27Joab said, “As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone away, and not each followed 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 the trumpet; and all the people stood still and pursued Israel no more, and they fought no 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 。
29Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and 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 。
30Joab returned from following Abner; and when he had gathered all the people together, nineteen men of David’s and Asahel were missing.
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 David’s servants had struck Benjamin and Abner’s men so that three hundred sixty 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 。
32They took up Asahel and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
