1And Samuel said to Saul: The Lord sent me to anoint thee king over his People Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the Lord:
1撒母耳 對 掃羅 說:「耶和華差遣我膏你為王,治理他的百姓 以色列 ;所以你當聽從耶和華的話。
2Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I have reckoned up all that Amalec hath done to Israel: I how he opposed them in the way when they came up out of Egypt.
2萬軍之耶和華如此說:『 以色列 人出 埃及 的時候,在路上 亞瑪力 人怎樣待他們,怎樣抵擋他們,我都沒忘。
3Now therefore go, and smite Amalec, and utterly destroy all that he hath: spare him not, nor covet any thing that is his: but slay both man and woman, child and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
3現在你要去擊打 亞瑪力 人,滅盡他們所有的,不可憐惜他們,將男女、孩童、吃奶的,並牛、羊、駱駝,和驢盡行殺死。』」
4So Saul commanded the people, and numbered them as lambs: two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand of the men of Juda.
4於是 掃羅 招聚百姓在 提拉因 ,數點他們,共有步兵二十萬,另有 猶大 人一萬。
5And when Saul was come to the city of Amalec, he laid ambushes in the torrent.
5掃羅 到了 亞瑪力 的 京 城,在谷中設下埋伏。
6And Saul said to the Cinite: Go, depart and get ye down from Amalec: lest I destroy thee with him. For thou hast shewn kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. And the Cinite departed from the midst of Amalec.
6掃羅 對 基尼 人說:「你們離開 亞瑪力 人下去吧,恐怕我將你們和 亞瑪力 人一同殺滅;因為 以色列 人出 埃及 的時候,你們曾恩待他們。」於是 基尼 人離開 亞瑪力 人去了。
7And Saul smote Amalec from Hevila, until thou comest to Sur, which is over against Egypt.
7掃羅 擊打 亞瑪力 人,從 哈腓拉 直到 埃及 前的 書珥 ,
8And he took Agag the king of Amalec alive: but all the common people he slew with the edge of the sword.
8生擒了 亞瑪力 王 亞甲 ,用刀殺盡 亞瑪力 的眾民。
9And Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the flocks of sheep and of the herds, and the garments and the rams, and all that was beautiful, and would not destroy them: but every thing that was vile and good for nothing, that they destroyed.
9掃羅 和百姓卻憐惜 亞甲 ,也愛惜上好的牛、羊、牛犢、羊羔,並一切美物,不肯滅絕。凡下賤瘦弱的,盡都殺了。
10And the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying:
10耶和華的話臨到 撒母耳 說:
11It repenteth me that I have made Saul king: for he hath forsaken me, and hath not executed my commandments. And Samuel was grieved, and he cried unto the Lord all night.
11「我立 掃羅 為王,我後悔了;因為他轉去不跟從我,不遵守我的命令。」 撒母耳 便甚憂愁,終夜哀求耶和華。
12And when Samuel rose early, to go to Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, that Saul was come to Carmel, and had erected for himself a triumphant arch, and returning had passed on, and gone down to Galgal. And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul was offering a holocaust to the Lord out of the choicest of the spoils which he had brought from Amalec.
12撒母耳 清早起來,迎接 掃羅 。有人告訴 撒母耳 說:「 掃羅 到了 迦密 ,在那裏立了紀念碑,又轉身下到 吉甲 。」
13And when Samuel was come to Saul, Saul said to him: Blessed be thou of the Lord, I have fulfilled the word of the Lord.
13撒母耳 到了 掃羅 那裏, 掃羅 對他說:「願耶和華賜福與你,耶和華的命令我已遵守了。」
14And Samuel said: What meaneth then this bleating of the flocks, which soundeth in my ears, and the lowing of the herds, which I hear?
14撒母耳 說:「我耳中聽見有羊叫、牛鳴,是從哪裏來的呢?」
15And Saul said: They have brought them from Amalec: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the herds that they might be sacrificed to the Lord thy God, but the rest we have slain.
15掃羅 說:「這是百姓從 亞瑪力 人那裏帶來的;因為他們愛惜上好的牛羊,要獻與耶和華-你的上帝;其餘的,我們都滅盡了。」
16And Samuel said to Saul: Suffer me, and I will tell thee what the Lord hath said to me this night. And he said to him: Speak.
16撒母耳 對 掃羅 說:「你住口吧!等我將耶和華昨夜向我所說的話告訴你。」 掃羅 說:「請講。」
17And Samuel said: When thou wast a little one in thy own eyes, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel? And the Lord anointed thee to be king over Israel.
17撒母耳 對 掃羅 說:「從前你雖然以自己為小,豈不是被立為 以色列 支派的元首嗎?耶和華膏你作 以色列 的王。
18And the Lord sent thee on the way, and said: Go, and kill the sinners of Amalec, and thou shalt fight against them until thou hast utterly destroyed them.
18耶和華差遣你,吩咐你說,你去擊打那些犯罪的 亞瑪力 人,將他們滅絕淨盡。
19Why then didst thou not hearken to the voice of the Lord: but hast turned to the prey, and hast done evil in the eyes of the Lord.
19你為何沒有聽從耶和華的命令,急忙擄掠財物,行耶和華眼中看為惡的事呢?」
20And Saul said to Samuel: Yea I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord, and have walked in the way by which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalec, and Amalec I have slain.
20掃羅 對 撒母耳 說:「我實在聽從了耶和華的命令,行了耶和華所差遣我行的路,擒了 亞瑪力 王 亞甲 來,滅盡了 亞瑪力 人。
21But the people took of the spoils sheep and oxen, as the firstfruits of those things that were slain, to offer sacrifice to the Lord their God in Galgal.
21百姓卻在所當滅的物中,取了最好的牛羊,要在 吉甲 獻與耶和華-你的上帝。」
22And Samuel said: Doth the Lord desire holocausts and victims, and not rather that the voice of the Lord should be obeyed? For obedience is better than sacrifices: and to hearken rather than to offer the fat of rams.
22撒母耳 說: 耶和華喜悅燔祭和 平安 祭, 豈如喜悅人聽從他的話呢? 聽命勝於獻祭; 順從勝於公羊的脂油。
23Because it is like the sin of witchcraft, to rebel: and like the crime of idolatry, to refuse to obey. Forasmuch therefore as thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord hath also rejected thee from being king.
23悖逆的罪與行邪術的罪相等; 頑梗的罪與拜虛神和偶像的罪相同。 你既厭棄耶和華的命令, 耶和華也厭棄你作王。
24And Saul said to Samuel: I have sinned because I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words, fearing the people, and obeying their voice.
24掃羅 對 撒母耳 說:「我有罪了,我因懼怕百姓,聽從他們的話,就違背了耶和華的命令和你的言語。
25But now bear, I beseech thee, my sin, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord.
25現在求你赦免我的罪,同我回去,我好敬拜耶和華。」
26And Samuel said to Saul: I will not return with thee, because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
26撒母耳 對 掃羅 說:「我不同你回去;因為你厭棄耶和華的命令,耶和華也厭棄你作 以色列 的王。」
27And Samuel turned about to go away: but he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
27撒母耳 轉身要走, 掃羅 就扯住他外袍的衣襟,衣襟就撕斷了。
28And Samuel said to him: The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to thy neighbour who is better than thee.
28撒母耳 對他說:「如此,今日耶和華使 以色列 國與你斷絕,將這國賜與比你更好的人。
29But the triumpher in Israel will riot spare, and will not be moved to repentance: for he is not a mail that he should repent.
29以色列 的大能者必不致說謊,也不致後悔;因為他迥非世人,決不後悔。」
30Then he said: I have sinned: yet honour me now before the ancients of my people, and before Israel, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord thy God.
30掃羅 說:「我有罪了,雖然如此,求你在我百姓的長老和 以色列 人面前抬舉我,同我回去,我好敬拜耶和華-你的上帝。」
31So Samuel turned again after Saul: and Saul adored the Lord.
31於是 撒母耳 轉身跟隨 掃羅 回去, 掃羅 就敬拜耶和華。
32And Samuel said: Bring hitherto me Agag the king of Amalec. And Agag was presented to him very fat, and trembling. And Agag said: Doth bitter death separate in this manner?
32撒母耳 說:「要把 亞瑪力 王 亞甲 帶到我這裏來。」 亞甲 就歡歡喜喜地來到他面前,心裏說,死亡的苦難必定過去了。
33And Samuel said: As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed him in pieces before the Lord in Galgal.
33撒母耳 說:「你既用刀使婦人喪子,這樣,你母親在婦人中也必喪子。」於是, 撒母耳 在 吉甲 耶和華面前將 亞甲 殺死。
34And Samuel departed to Ramatha: but Saul went up to his house in Gabaa.
34撒母耳 回了 拉瑪 。 掃羅 上他所住的 基比亞 ,回自己的家去了。
35And Samuel saw Saul no more till the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul, because the Lord repented that he had made him king over Israel.
35撒母耳 直到死的日子,再沒有見 掃羅 ;但 撒母耳 為 掃羅 悲傷,是因耶和華後悔立他為 以色列 的王。
