Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1But David fled from Najoth, which is in Ramatha, and came and said to Jonathan: What have I done? what is my iniquity, and what is my sin against thy father, that he seeketh my life?
1大卫 从 拉玛 的 拿约 逃跑，来到 约拿单 那里，对他说：「我做了什么？有什么罪孽呢？在你父亲面前犯了什么罪，他竟寻索我的性命呢？」
2And he said to him: God forbid, thou shalt not die: for my father will do nothing great or little, without first telling me: hath then my father hid this word only from me? no, this shall not be.
2约拿单 回答说：「断然不是！你必不致死。我父做事，无论大小，没有不叫我知道的。怎么独有这事隐瞒我呢？决不如此。」
3And he swore again to David. And David said: Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, and he will say: Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved. But truly as the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, there is but one step (as I may say) between me and death.
3大卫 又起誓说：「你父亲准知我在你眼前蒙恩。他心里说，不如不叫 约拿单 知道，恐怕他愁烦。我指着永生的耶和华，又敢在你面前起誓，我离死不过一步。」
4And Jonathan said to David: Whatsoever thy soul shall say to me, I will do for thee.
4约拿单 对 大卫 说：「你心里所求的，我必为你成就。」
5And David said to Jonathan: Behold tomorrow is the new moon, and I according to custom am wont to sit beside the king to eat: let me go then that I may be hid in the field till the evening of the third day.
5大卫 对 约拿单 说：「明日是初一，我当与王同席，求你容我去藏在田野，直到第三日晚上。
6If thy father look and inquire for me, thou shalt answer him: David asked me that he might run to Bethlehem his own city: because there are solemn sacrifices there for all his tribe.
6你父亲若见我不在席上，你就说：『 大卫 切求我许他回本城 伯利恒 去，因为他全家在那里献年祭。』
7If he shall say, It is well: thy servant shall have peace: but if he be angry, know that his malice is come to its height.
7你父亲若说好，仆人就平安了；他若发怒，你就知道他决意要害我。
8Deal mercifully then with thy servant: for thou hast brought me thy servant into a covenant of the Lord with thee. But if there be any iniquity in me, do thou kill me, and bring me not in to thy father.
8求你施恩与仆人，因你在耶和华面前曾与仆人结盟。我若有罪，不如你自己杀我，何必将我交给你父亲呢？」
9And Jonathan said: Far be this from thee: for if I should certainly know that evil is determined by my father against thee, I could do no otherwise than tell thee.
9约拿单 说：「断无此事！我若知道我父亲决意害你，我岂不告诉你呢？」
10And David answered Jonathan: Who shall bring me word, if thy father should answer thee harshly concerning me?
10大卫 对 约拿单 说：「你父亲若用厉言回答你，谁来告诉我呢？」
11And Jonathan said to David: Come and let us go out into the field. And when they were both of them gone out into the field,
11约拿单 对 大卫 说：「你我且往田野去。」二人就往田野去了。
12Jonathan said to David: O Lord God of Israel, if I shall discover my father’s mind, tomorrow or the day after, and there be any thing good for David, and I send not immediately to thee, and make it known to thee,
12约拿单 对 大卫 说：「愿耶和华— 以色列 的 神 为证 。明日约在这时候，或第三日，我探我父亲的意思，若向你有好意，我岂不打发人告诉你吗？
13May the Lord do so and so to Jonathan and add still more. But if my father shall continue in malice against thee, I will discover it to thy ear, and will send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace, and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
13我父亲若有意害你，我不告诉你使你平平安安地走，愿耶和华重重地降罚与我。愿耶和华与你同在，如同从前与我父亲同在一样。
14And if I live, thou shalt shew me the kindness of the Lord: but if I die,
14你要照耶和华的慈爱恩待我，不但我活着的时候免我死亡，
15Thou shalt not take away thy kindness from my house for ever, when the Lord shall have rooted out the enemies of David, every one of them from the earth, may he take away Jonathan from his house, and may the Lord require it at the hands of David’s enemies.
15就是我死后，耶和华从地上剪除你仇敌的时候，你也永不可向我家绝了恩惠。」
16Jonathan therefore made a covenant with the house of David: and the Lord required it at the hands of David’s enemies.
16于是 约拿单 与 大卫 家结盟， 说 ：「愿耶和华借 大卫 的仇敌追讨 背约 的罪。」
17And Jonathan swore again to David, because he loved him: for he loved him as his own soul.
17约拿单 因爱 大卫 如同爱自己的性命，就使他再起誓。
18And Jonathan said to him: Tomorrow is the new moon, and thou wilt be missed:
18约拿单 对他说：「明日是初一，你的座位空设，人必理会你不在那里。
19For thy seat will be empty till after tomorrow. So thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place, where thou must be hid on the day when it is lawful to work, and thou shalt remain beside the stone, which is called Ezel.
19你等三日，就要速速下去，到你从前遇事所藏的地方，在 以色 磐石那里等候。
20And I will shoot three arrows near it, and will shoot as if I were exercising myself at a mark.
20我要向磐石旁边射三箭，如同射箭靶一样。
21And I will send a boy, saying to him: Go and fetch me the arrows.
21我要打发童子， 说 ：『去把箭找来。』我若对童子说：『箭在后头，把箭拿来』，你就可以回来；我指着永生的耶和华起誓，你必平安无事。
22If I shall say to the boy: Behold the arrows are on this side of thee, take them up: come thou to me, because, there is peace to thee, and there is no evil, as the Lord liveth. But if I shall speak thus to the boy: Behold the arrows are beyond thee: go in peace, for the Lord hath sent thee away.
22我若对童子说：『箭在前头』，你就要去，因为是耶和华打发你去的。
23And concerning the word which I and thou have spoken, the Lord be between thee and me for ever.
23至于你我今日所说的话，有耶和华在你我中间 为证 ，直到永远。」
24So David was hid in the field, and the new moon came, and the king sat down to eat bread.
24大卫 就去藏在田野。到了初一日，王坐席要吃饭。
25And when the king sat down upon his chair (according to custom) which was beside the wall, Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, and David’s place appeared empty.
25王照常坐在靠墙的位上， 约拿单 侍立， 押尼珥 坐在 扫罗 旁边， 大卫 的座位空设。
26And Saul said nothing that day, for he thought it might have happened to him, that he was not clean, nor purified.
26然而这日 扫罗 没有说什么，他想 大卫 遇事，偶染不洁，他必定是不洁。
27And when the second day after the new moon was come, David’s place appeared empty again. And Saul said to Jonathan his son: Why cometh not the son of Isai to meat neither yesterday nor today?
27初二日 大卫 的座位还空设。 扫罗 问他儿子 约拿单 说：「 耶西 的儿子为何昨日、今日没有来吃饭呢？」
28And Jonathan answered Saul: He asked leave of me earnestly to go to Bethlehem,
28约拿单 回答 扫罗 说：「 大卫 切求我容他往 伯利恒 去。
29And he said: Let me go, for there is a solemn sacrifice in the city, one of my brethren hath sent for me: and now if I have found favour in thy eyes, I will go quickly, and see my brethren. For this cause he came not to the king’s table.
29他说：『求你容我去，因为我家在城里有献祭的事；我长兄吩咐我去。如今我若在你眼前蒙恩，求你容我去见我的弟兄』；所以 大卫 没有赴王的席。」
30Then Saul being angry against Jonathan said to him: Thou son of a woman that is the ravisher of a man, do I not know that thou lovest the son of Isai to thy own confusion and to the confusion of thy shameless mother?
30扫罗 向 约拿单 发怒，对他说：「你这顽梗背逆之妇人所生的，我岂不知道你喜悦 耶西 的儿子，自取羞辱，以致你母亲露体蒙羞吗？
31For as long as the son of Isai liveth upon earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Therefore now presently send, and fetch him to me: for he is the son of death.
31耶西 的儿子若在世间活着，你和你的国位必站立不住。现在你要打发人去，将他捉拿交给我；他是该死的。」
32And Jonathan answering Saul his father, said: Why shall he die: what hath he done?
32约拿单 对父亲 扫罗 说：「他为什么该死呢？他做了什么呢？」
33And Saul caught up a spear to strike him. And Jonathan understood that it was determined by his father to kill David.
33扫罗 向 约拿单 抡枪要刺他， 约拿单 就知道他父亲决意要杀 大卫 。
34So Jonathan rose from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second day after the new moon. For he was grieved for David, because his father had put him to confusion.
34于是 约拿单 气忿忿地从席上起来，在这初二日没有吃饭。他因见父亲羞辱 大卫 ，就为 大卫 愁烦。
35And when the morning came, Jonathan went into the field, according to the appointment with David, and a little boy with him.
35次日早晨， 约拿单 按着与 大卫 约会的时候出到田野，有一个童子跟随。
36And he said to his boy: Go, and fetch me the arrows which I shoot. And when the boy ran, he shot another arrow beyond the boy.
36约拿单 对童子说：「你跑去，把我所射的箭找来。」童子跑去， 约拿单 就把箭射在童子前头。
37The boy therefore came to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot: and Jonathan cried after the boy, and said: Behold the arrow is there further beyond thee.
37童子到了 约拿单 落箭之地， 约拿单 呼叫童子说：「箭不是在你前头吗？」
38And Jonathan cried again after the boy, saying: Make haste speedily, stand not. And Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows, and brought them to his master:
38约拿单 又呼叫童子说：「速速地去，不要迟延！」童子就拾起箭来，回到主人那里。
39And he knew not at all what was doing: for only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
39童子却不知道这是什么意思，只有 约拿单 和 大卫 知道。
40Jonathan therefore gave his arms to the boy, and said to him: Go, and carry them into the city.
40约拿单 将弓箭交给童子，吩咐说：「你拿到城里去。」
41And when the boy was gone, David rose out of his place, which was towards the south, and falling on his face to the ground, adored thrice: and kissing one another, they wept together, but David more.
41童子一去， 大卫 就从 磐石 的南边出来，俯伏在地，拜了三拜；二人亲嘴，彼此哭泣， 大卫 哭得更恸。
42And Jonathan said to David: Go in peace: and let all stand that we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying: The Lord be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever.
42约拿单 对 大卫 说：「我们二人曾指着耶和华的名起誓说：『愿耶和华在你我中间，并你我后裔中间 为证 ，直到永远。』如今你平平安安地去吧！」 大卫 就起身走了； 约拿单 也回城里去了。
43And David arose, and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
