1And it came to pass about a month after this that Naas, the Ammonite came up, and began to fight against Jabes Galaad. And all the men of Jabes said to Naas: Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
1亞捫 人 的王 拿轄 上來，對着 基列‧雅比 安營。 雅比 眾人對 拿轄 說：「你與我們立約，我們就服事你。」
2And Naas the Ammonite answered them: On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may pluck out all your right eyes, and make you a reproach in all Israel.
2亞捫 人 拿轄 說：「你們若由我剜出你們各人的右眼，以此凌辱 以色列 眾人，我就與你們立約。」
3And the ancients of Jabes said to him: Allow us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the coasts of Israel: and if there be no one to defend us, we will come out to thee.
3雅比 的長老對他說：「求你寬容我們七日，等我們打發人往 以色列 的全境去；若沒有人救我們，我們就出來歸順你。」
4The messengers therefore came to Gabaa of Saul: and they spoke these words in the hearing of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
4使者到了 掃羅 住的 基比亞 ，將這話說給百姓聽，百姓就都放聲而哭。
5And behold Saul came, following oxen out of the field, and he said: What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the words of the men of Jabes.
5掃羅 正從田間趕牛回來，問說：「百姓為甚麼哭呢？」眾人將 雅比 人的話告訴他。
6And the spirit of the Lord came upon Saul, when he had heard these words, and his anger was exceedingly kindled.
6掃羅 聽見這話，就被上帝的靈大大感動，甚是發怒。
7And taking both the oxen, he cut them in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel by messengers, saying: Whosoever shall not come forth, and follow Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord fell upon the people, and they went out as one man.
7他將一對牛切成塊子，託付使者傳送 以色列 的全境，說：「凡不出來跟隨 掃羅 和 撒母耳 的，也必這樣切開他的牛。」於是耶和華使百姓懼怕，他們就都出來，如同一人。
8And he numbered them in Bezec: and there were of the children of Israel three hundred thousand: and of the men of Juda thirty thousand.
8掃羅 在 比色 數點他們： 以色列 人有三十萬， 猶大 人有三萬。
9And they said to the messengers that came: Thus shall you say to the men of Jabes Galaad: Tomorrow, when the sun shall be hot, you shall have relief. The messengers therefore came, and told the men of Jabes: and they were glad.
9眾人對那使者說：「你們要回覆 基列‧雅比 人說，明日太陽近午的時候，你們必得解救。」使者回去告訴 雅比 人，他們就歡喜了。
10And they said: In the morning we will come out to you: and you shall do what you please with us.
10於是 雅比 人對 亞捫 人說：「明日我們出來歸順你們，你們可以隨意待我們。」
11And it came to pass, when the morrow was come that Saul put the people in three companies: and he came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and he slew the Ammonites until the day grew hot, and the rest were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
11第二日， 掃羅 將百姓分為三隊，在晨更的時候入了 亞捫 人的營，擊殺他們直到太陽近午，剩下的人都逃散，沒有二人同在一處的。
12And the people said to Samuel: Who is he that said: Shall Saul reign over us? Bring the men and we will kill them.
12百姓對 撒母耳 說：「那說『 掃羅 豈能管理我們』的是誰呢？可以將他交出來，我們好殺死他。」
13And Saul said: No man shall be killed this day, because the Lord this day hath wrought salvation in Israel:
13掃羅 說：「今日耶和華在 以色列 中施行拯救，所以不可殺人。」
14And Samuel said to the people: Come and let us go to Galgal, and let us renew the kingdom there.
14撒母耳 對百姓說：「我們要往 吉甲 去，在那裏立國。」
15And all the people went to Galgal, and there they made Saul king before the Lord in Galgal, and they sacrificed there victims of peace before the Lord. And there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced exceedingly.
15眾百姓就到了 吉甲 那裏，在耶和華面前立 掃羅 為王，又在耶和華面前獻平安祭。 掃羅 和 以色列 眾人大大歡喜。
