撒母耳記下 5
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
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 in Hebron, saying: Behold we are thy bone and thy flesh.
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。』」
2Moreover yesterday also and the day before, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that did lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to thee: Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.
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。
3The ancients also of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be 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 began to reign, 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 Juda seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned three and thirty years over all Israel and Juda.
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。
6And the king and all the men that were with him went to Jerusalem to the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land: and they said to David: Thou shalt not come in hither unless thou take away the blind and the lame that say: David shall not come in hither.
7然而 大衛 攻取 錫安 的保障，就是 大衛 的城。
7But David took the castle of Sion, the same 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。」
8For David had offered that day a reward to whosoever should strike the Jebusites and get up to the gutters of the tops of the houses, and take away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David: therefore it is said in the proverb: The blind and the lame shall not come into the temple.
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。
9And David dwelt in the castle, and called it, The city of David: and built round about from Mello and inwards.
10大衛 日見強盛，因為耶和華－萬軍之上帝與他同在。
10And he went on prospering and growing up, and 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。
11And Hiram the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons for walls: and they built a house 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 knew that the Lord bad confirmed him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom over 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。
13And David took more concubines and wives of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were born to David other sons also and daughters:
14在 耶路撒冷 所生的兒子是 沙母亞 、 朔罷 、 拿單 、 所羅門 、
14And these are the names of them, that were born to him in Jerusalem, Samua, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
15益轄 、 以利書亞 、 尼斐 、 雅非亞 、
15And Jebahar, and Elisua, and Nepheg,
16以利沙瑪 、 以利雅大 、 以利法列 。
16And Japhia, and Elisama, and Elioda, and Eliphaleth.
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。
17And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel: and they all came to seek David: and when David heard of it, he went down to a strong hold.
18非利士 人來了，布散在 利乏音谷 。
18And the Philistines coming spread themselves in the valley of Raphaim.
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。」
19And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up to the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to David: Go up, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into thy 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 。
20And David came to Baal Pharisim: and defeated them there, and he said: The Lord hath divided my enemies before me, as waters are divided. Therefore the name of the place was called Baal Pharisim.
21非利士 人將偶像撇在那裏， 大衛 和跟隨他的人拿去了。
21And they left there their idols: which David and his men took away.
22非利士 人又上來，布散在 利乏音谷 。
22And the Philistines came up again and spread themselves in the valley of Raphaim.
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。
23And David consulted the Lord: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hands? He answered: Go not up against them, but fetch a compass behind them, and thou shalt come upon them over against the pear 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。」
24And when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of the pear trees, then shalt thou join battle: for then will the Lord go out before thy face to strike the army 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 。
25And David did as the Lord had commanded him, and he smote the Philistines from Gabaa until thou come to Gezer.
