撒母耳記下 5
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1以色列 眾支派來到 希伯崙 見 大衛 ，說：「我們原是你的骨肉。
1Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.
2從前 掃羅 作我們王的時候，率領 以色列 人出入的是你；耶和華也曾應許你說：『你必牧養我的民 以色列 ，作 以色列 的君。』」
2Even in times past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And to you the LORD said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”
3於是 以色列 的長老都來到 希伯崙 見 大衛 王， 大衛 在 希伯崙 耶和華面前與他們立約，他們就膏 大衛 作 以色列 的王。
3So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where King David made with them a covenant before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel.
4大衛 登基的時候年三十歲，在位四十年；
4David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years.
5在 希伯崙 作 猶大 王七年零六個月，在 耶路撒冷 作 以色列 和 猶大 王三十三年。
5In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
6大衛 和跟隨他的人到了 耶路撒冷 ，要攻打住那地方的 耶布斯 人。 耶布斯 人對 大衛 說：「你若不趕出瞎子、瘸子，必不能進這地方」；心裏想 大衛 決不能進去。
6Now the king and his men marched to Jerusalem against the Jebusites who inhabited the land. The Jebusites said to David: “You will never get in here. Even the blind and lame can repel you.” For they thought, “David cannot get in here.”
7然而 大衛 攻取 錫安 的保障，就是 大衛 的城。
7Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).
8當日， 大衛 說：「誰攻打 耶布斯 人，當上水溝 攻打 我心裏所恨惡的瘸子、瞎子。」從此有俗語說：「在那裏有瞎子、瘸子，他不能進屋去。」
8On that day he said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites must use the water shaft to reach the lame and blind who are despised by David.” That is why it is said, “The blind and the lame will never enter the palace.”
9大衛 住在保障裏，給保障起名叫 大衛城 。 大衛 又從 米羅 以裏，周圍築牆。
9So David took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built it up all the way around, from the supporting terraces inward.
10大衛 日見強盛，因為耶和華－萬軍之上帝與他同在。
10And David became greater and greater, for the LORD God of Hosts was with him.
11泰爾 王 希蘭 將香柏木運到 大衛 那裏，又差遣使者和木匠、石匠給 大衛 建造宮殿。
11Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, carpenters, and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David.
12大衛 就知道耶和華堅立他作 以色列 王，又為自己的民 以色列 使他的國興旺。
12And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
13大衛 離開 希伯崙 之後，在 耶路撒冷 又立后妃，又生兒女。
13After he had arrived from Hebron, David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.
14在 耶路撒冷 所生的兒子是 沙母亞 、 朔罷 、 拿單 、 所羅門 、
14These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15益轄 、 以利書亞 、 尼斐 、 雅非亞 、
15Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16以利沙瑪 、 以利雅大 、 以利法列 。
16Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
17非利士 人聽見人膏 大衛 作 以色列 王， 非利士 眾人就上來尋索 大衛 ； 大衛 聽見，就下到保障。
17When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went down to the stronghold.
18非利士 人來了，布散在 利乏音谷 。
18Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
19大衛 求問耶和華說：「我可以上去攻打 非利士 人嗎？你將他們交在我手裏嗎？」耶和華說：「你可以上去，我必將 非利士 人交在你手裏。」
19So David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
20大衛 來到 巴力‧毗拉心 ，在那裏擊殺 非利士 人，說：「耶和華在我面前沖破敵人，如同水沖去一般。」因此稱那地方為 巴力‧毗拉心 。
20So David went to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, the LORD has burst out against my enemies before me.” So he called that place Baal-perazim.
21非利士 人將偶像撇在那裏， 大衛 和跟隨他的人拿去了。
21There the Philistines abandoned their idols, and David and his men carried them away.
22非利士 人又上來，布散在 利乏音谷 。
22Once again the Philistines came up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
23大衛 求問耶和華；耶和華說：「不要一直地上去，要轉到他們後頭，從桑林對面攻打他們。
23So David inquired of the LORD, who answered, “Do not march straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
24你聽見桑樹梢上有腳步的聲音，就要急速前去，因為那時耶和華已經在你前頭去攻打 非利士 人的軍隊。」
24As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move quickly, because this will mean that the LORD has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
25大衛 就遵着耶和華所吩咐的去行，攻打 非利士 人，從 迦巴 直到 基色 。
25So David did as the LORD had commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
