撒母耳記下 3
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1掃羅 家和 大衛 家爭戰許久。 大衛 家日見強盛； 掃羅 家日見衰弱。
1Now there was a long war between Saul’s house and David’s house. David grew stronger and stronger, but Saul’s house grew weaker and weaker.
2大衛 在 希伯崙 得了幾個兒子：長子 暗嫩 是 耶斯列 人 亞希暖 所生的；
2Sons were born to David in Hebron. His firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
3次子 基利押 是作過 迦密 人 拿八 的妻 亞比該 所生的；三子 押沙龍 是 基述 王 達買 的女兒 瑪迦 所生的；
3and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
4四子 亞多尼雅 是 哈及 所生的；五子 示法提雅 是 亞比她 所生的；
4and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
5六子 以特念 是 大衛 的妻 以格拉 所生的。 大衛 這六個兒子都是在 希伯崙 生的。
5and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David’s wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
6掃羅 家和 大衛 家爭戰的時候， 押尼珥 在 掃羅 家大有權勢。
6While there was war between Saul’s house and David’s house, Abner made himself strong in Saul’s house.
7掃羅 有一妃嬪，名叫 利斯巴 ，是 愛亞 的女兒。一日， 伊施波設 對 押尼珥 說：「你為甚麼與我父的妃嬪同房呢？」
7Now Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah; and Ishbosheth said to Abner, “Why have you gone in to my father’s concubine?”
8押尼珥 因 伊施波設 的話就甚發怒，說：「我豈是 猶大 的狗頭呢？我恩待你父 掃羅 的家和他的弟兄、朋友，不將你交在 大衛 手裏，今日你竟為這婦人責備我嗎？
8Then Abner was very angry about Ishbosheth’s words, and said, “Am I a dog’s head that belongs to Judah? Today I show kindness to your father Saul’s house, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David; and yet you charge me today with a fault concerning this woman!
9我若不照着耶和華起誓應許 大衛 的話行，廢去 掃羅 的位，建立 大衛 的位，使他治理 以色列 和 猶大 ，從 但 直到 別是巴 ，願上帝重重地降罰與我！」
9God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as the LORD has sworn to David, I don’t do even so to him:
no verse 10 in this text
10to transfer the kingdom from Saul’s house, and to set up David’s throne over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.”
11伊施波設 懼怕 押尼珥 ，不敢回答一句。
11He could not answer Abner another word, because he was afraid of him.
12押尼珥 打發人去見 大衛 ，替他說：「這國歸誰呢？」又說：「你與我立約，我必幫助你，使 以色列 人都歸服你。」
12Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, “Whose is the land?” and saying, “Make your alliance with me, and behold, my hand will be with you to bring all Israel around to you.”
13大衛 說：「好！我與你立約。但有一件，你來見我面的時候，若不將 掃羅 的女兒 米甲 帶來，必不得見我的面。」
13David said, “Good. I will make a treaty with you, but one thing I require of you. That is, you will not see my face unless you first bring Michal, Saul’s daughter, when you come to see my face.”
14大衛 就打發人去見 掃羅 的兒子 伊施波設 ，說：「你要將我的妻 米甲 歸還我；她是我從前用一百 非利士 人的陽皮所聘定的。」
14David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, saying, “Deliver me my wife Michal, whom I was given to marry for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
15伊施波設 就打發人去，將 米甲 從 拉億 的兒子、她丈夫 帕鐵 那裏接回來。
15Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband, Paltiel the son of Laish.
16米甲 的丈夫跟着她，一面走一面哭，直跟到 巴戶琳 。 押尼珥 說：「你回去吧！」 帕鐵 就回去了。
16Her husband went with her, weeping as he went, and followed her to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go! Return!” and he returned.
17押尼珥 對 以色列 長老說：「從前你們願意 大衛 作王治理你們，
17Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, “In times past, you sought for David to be king over you.
18現在你們可以照心願而行。因為耶和華曾論到 大衛 說：『我必藉我僕人 大衛 的手，救我民 以色列 脫離 非利士 人和眾仇敵的手。』」
18Now then do it! For the LORD has spoken of David, saying, ‘By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.’”
19押尼珥 也用這話說給 便雅憫 人聽，又到 希伯崙 ，將 以色列 人和 便雅憫 全家一切所喜悅的事說給 大衛 聽。
19Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin; and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel and to the whole house of Benjamin.
20押尼珥 帶着二十個人來到 希伯崙 見 大衛 ， 大衛 就為 押尼珥 和他帶來的人設擺筵席。
20So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. David made Abner and the men who were with him a feast.
21押尼珥 對 大衛 說：「我要起身去招聚 以色列 眾人來見我主我王，與你立約，你就可以照着心願作王。」於是 大衛 送 押尼珥 去， 押尼珥 就平平安安地去了。
21Abner said to David, “I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your soul desires.” David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
22約押 和 大衛 的僕人攻擊敵軍，帶回許多的掠物。那時 押尼珥 不在 希伯崙 大衛 那裏，因 大衛 已經送他去，他也平平安安地去了。
22Behold, David’s servants and Joab came from a raid and brought in a great plunder with them; but Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.
23約押 和跟隨他的全軍到了，就有人告訴 約押 說：「 尼珥 的兒子 押尼珥 來見王，王送他去，他也平平安安地去了。」
23When Joab and all the army who was with him had come, they told Joab, “Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away, and he has gone in peace.”
24約押 去見王說：「你這是做甚麼呢？ 押尼珥 來見你，你為何送他去，他就蹤影不見了呢？
24Then Joab came to the king and said, “What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you. Why is it that you have sent him away, and he is already gone?
25你當曉得， 尼珥 的兒子 押尼珥 來是要誆哄你，要知道你的出入和你一切所行的事。」
25You know Abner the son of Ner. He came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you do.”
26約押 從 大衛 那裏出來，就打發人去追趕 押尼珥 ，在 西拉井 追上他，將他帶回來， 大衛 卻不知道。
26When Joab had come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David didn’t know it.
27押尼珥 回到 希伯崙 ， 約押 領他到城門的甕洞，假作要與他說機密話，就在那裏刺透他的肚腹，他便死了。這是報殺他兄弟 亞撒黑 的仇。
27When Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the middle of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the body, so that he died for the blood of Asahel his brother.
28大衛 聽見了，就說：「流 尼珥 的兒子 押尼珥 的血，這罪在耶和華面前必永不歸我和我的國。
28Afterward, when David heard it, he said, “I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.
29願流他血的罪歸到 約押 頭上和他父的全家；又願 約押 家不斷有患漏症的，長大痲瘋的，架柺而行的，被刀殺死的，缺乏飲食的。」
29Let it fall on the head of Joab and on all his father’s house. Let there not fail from the house of Joab one who has a discharge, or who is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread.”
30約押 和他兄弟 亞比篩 殺了 押尼珥 ，是因 押尼珥 在 基遍 爭戰的時候殺了他們的兄弟 亞撒黑 。
30So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
31大衛 吩咐 約押 和跟隨他的眾人說：「你們當撕裂衣服，腰束麻布，在 押尼珥 棺 前哀哭。」 大衛 王也跟在棺後。
31David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your clothes, and clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn in front of Abner.” King David followed the bier.
32他們將 押尼珥 葬在 希伯崙 。王在 押尼珥 的墓旁放聲而哭，眾民也都哭了。
32They buried Abner in Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice and wept at Abner’s grave; and all the people wept.
33王為 押尼珥 舉哀，說： 押尼珥 何竟像愚頑人死呢？
33The king lamented for Abner, and said, “Should Abner die as a fool dies?
34你手未曾捆綁，腳未曾鎖住。 你死，如人死在罪孽之輩手下一樣。 於是眾民又為 押尼珥 哀哭。
34Your hands weren’t bound, and your feet weren’t put into fetters. As a man falls before the children of iniquity, so you fell.” All the people wept again over him.
35日頭未落的時候，眾民來勸 大衛 吃飯，但 大衛 起誓說：「我若在日頭未落以前吃飯，或吃別物，願上帝重重地降罰與我！」
35All the people came to urge David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, “God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread or anything else, until the sun goes down.”
36眾民知道了就都喜悅。凡王所行的，眾民無不喜悅。
36All the people took notice of it, and it pleased them, as whatever the king did pleased all the people.
37那日， 以色列 眾民才知道殺 尼珥 的兒子 押尼珥 並非出於王意。
37So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to kill Abner the son of Ner.
38王對臣僕說：「你們豈不知今日 以色列 人中死了一個作元帥的大丈夫嗎？
38The king said to his servants, “Don’t you know that a prince and a great man has fallen today in Israel?
39我雖然受膏為王，今日還是軟弱；這 洗魯雅 的兩個兒子比我剛強。願耶和華照着惡人所行的惡報應他。」
39I am weak today, though anointed king. These men, the sons of Zeruiah are too hard for me. May the LORD reward the evildoer according to his wickedness.”
