Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1And Samuel died, and all Israel was gathered together, and they mourned for him, and buried him in his house in Ramatha. And David rose and went down into the wilderness of Pharan.
1撒母耳 死了, 以色列 众人聚集,为他哀哭,将他葬在 拉玛 —他自己的坟墓里。 大卫 起身,下到 巴兰 的旷野。
2Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were in Carmel, and the man was very great: and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and it happened that he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
2在 玛云 有一个人,他的产业在 迦密 ,是一个大富户,有三千绵羊,一千山羊;他正在 迦密 剪羊毛。
3Now the name of the man was Nabal: and the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a prudent and very comely woman, but her husband was churlish, and very bad and ill natured: and he was of the house of Caleb.
3那人名叫 拿八 ,是 迦勒 族的人;他的妻名叫 亚比该 ,是聪明俊美的妇人。 拿八 为人刚愎凶恶。
4And when David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep,
4大卫 在旷野听见说 拿八 剪羊毛,
5He sent ten young men, and said to them: Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and salute him in my name with peace.
5大卫 就打发十个仆人,吩咐他们说:「你们上 迦密 去见 拿八 ,提我的名问他安。
6And you shall say: Peace be to my brethren, and to thee, and peace to thy house, and peace to all that thou hast.
6要对那富户如此说:『愿你平安,愿你家平安,愿你一切所有的都平安。
7I heard that thy shepherds that were with us in the desert were shearing: we never molested them, neither was there ought missing to them of the flock at any time, all the while they were with us in Carmel.
7现在我听说有人为你剪羊毛,你的牧人在 迦密 的时候和我们在一处,我们没有欺负他们,他们也未曾失落什么。
8Ask thy servants, and they will tell thee. Now therefore let thy servants find favour in thy eyes: for we are come in a good day, whatsoever thy hand shall find give to thy servants, and to thy son David.
8可以问你的仆人,他们必告诉你。所以愿我的仆人在你眼前蒙恩,因为是在好日子来的。求你随手取点赐与仆人和你儿子 大卫 。』」
9And when David’s servants came, they spoke to Nabal all these words in David’s name: and then held their peace.
9大卫 的仆人到了,将这话提 大卫 的名都告诉了 拿八 ,就住了口。
10But Nabal answering the servants of David, said: Who is David? and what is the son of Isai? servants are multiplied now a days who flee from their masters.
10拿八 回答 大卫 的仆人说:「 大卫 是谁? 耶西 的儿子是谁?近来悖逆主人奔逃的仆人甚多,
11Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and the flesh of my cattle, which I have killed for my shearers, and give to men whom I know not whence they are?
11我岂可将饮食和为我剪羊毛人所宰的肉给我不知道从哪里来的人呢?」
12So the servants of David went back their way, and returning came and told him all the words that he said.
12大卫 的仆人就转身从原路回去,照这话告诉 大卫 。
13Then David said to his young men: Let every man gird on his sword. And they girded on every man his sword. And David also girded on his sword: and there followed David about four hundred men: and two hundred remained with the baggage.
13大卫 向跟随他的人说:「你们各人都要带上刀!」众人就都带上刀, 大卫 也带上刀。跟随 大卫 上去的约有四百人,留下二百人看守器具。
14But one of the servants told Abigail the wife of Nabal, saying: Behold David sent messengers out of the wilderness, to salute our master: and he rejected them.
14有 拿八 的一个仆人告诉 拿八 的妻 亚比该 说:「 大卫 从旷野打发使者来问我主人的安,主人却辱骂他们。
15These men were very good to us, and gave us no trouble: neither did we ever lose any thing all the time that we conversed with them in the desert.
15但是那些人待我们甚好;我们在田野与他们来往的时候,没有受他们的欺负,也未曾失落什么。
16They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
16我们在他们那里牧羊的时候,他们昼夜作我们的保障。
17Wherefore consider, and think what thou hast to do: for evil is determined against thy husband, and against thy house, and he is a son of Belial, so that no man can speak to him.
17所以你当筹划,看怎样行才好;不然,祸患定要临到我主人和他全家。他性情凶暴,无人敢与他说话。」
18Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of dry figs, and laid them upon asses:
18亚比该 急忙将二百饼,两皮袋酒,五只收拾好了的羊,五细亚烘好了的穗子,一百葡萄饼,二百无花果饼,都驮在驴上,
19And she said to her servants: Go before me: behold I will follow after you: but she told not her husband Nabal.
19对仆人说:「你们前头走,我随着你们去。」这事她却没有告诉丈夫 拿八 。
20And when she had gotten upon an ass, and was coming down to the foot of the mountain, David and his men came down over against her, and she met them.
20亚比该 骑着驴,正下山坡,见 大卫 和跟随他的人从对面下来, 亚比该 就迎接他们。
21And David said: Truly in vain have I kept all that belonged to this man in the wilderness, and nothing was lost of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good.
21大卫 曾说:「我在旷野为那人看守所有的,以致他一样不失落,实在是徒然了!他向我以恶报善。
22May God do so and so, and add more to the foes of David, if I leave of all that belong to him till the morning, any that pisseth against the wall.
22凡属 拿八 的男丁,我若留一个到明日早晨,愿 神重重降罚与我!」
23And when Abigail saw David she made haste and lighted off the ass, and fell before David, on her face, and adored upon the ground.
23亚比该 见 大卫 ,便急忙下驴,在 大卫 面前脸伏于地叩拜,
24And she fell at his feet, and said: Upon me let this iniquity be, my lord: let thy handmaid speak, I beseech thee, in thy ears: and hear the words of thy servant.
24俯伏在 大卫 的脚前,说:「我主啊,愿这罪归我!求你容婢女向你进言,更求你听婢女的话。
25Let not my lord the king, I pray, regard this naughty man Nabal: for according to his name, he is a fool, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid did not see thy servants, my lord, whom thou sentest.
25我主不要理这坏人 拿八 ,他的性情与他的名相称;他名叫 拿八 ,他为人果然愚顽。但我主所打发的仆人,婢女并没有看见。
26Now therefore, my lord, the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, who hath withholden thee from coming to blood, and hath saved thy hand to thee: and now let thy enemies be as Nabal, and all they that seek evil to my lord.
26我主啊,耶和华既然阻止你亲手报仇,取流血的罪,所以我指着永生的耶和华、又敢在你面前起誓说:『愿你的仇敌和谋害你的人都像 拿八 一样。』
27Wherefore receive this blessing, which thy handmaid hath brought to thee, my lord: and give it to the young men that follow thee, my lord.
27如今求你将婢女送来的礼物给跟随你的仆人。
28Forgive the iniquity of thy handmaid: for the Lord will surely make for my lord a faithful house, because thou, my lord, fightest the battles of the Lord: let not evil therefore be found in thee all the days of thy life.
28求你饶恕婢女的罪过。耶和华必为我主建立坚固的家,因我主为耶和华争战;并且在你平生的日子查不出有什么过来。
29For if a man at any time shall rise, and persecute thee, and seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be kept, as in the bundle of the living, with the Lord thy God: but the souls of thy enemies shall be whirled, as with the violence and whirling of a sling.
29虽有人起来追逼你,寻索你的性命,你的性命却在耶和华—你的 神那里蒙保护,如包裹宝器一样;你仇敌的性命,耶和华必抛去,如用机弦甩石一样。
30And when the Lord shall have done to thee, my lord, all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have made thee prince over Israel,
30我主现在若不亲手报仇流无辜人的血,到了耶和华照所应许你的话赐福与你,立你作 以色列 的王,那时我主必不至心里不安,觉得良心有亏。耶和华赐福与我主的时候,求你记念婢女。」
31This shall not be an occasion of grief to thee, and a scruple of heart to my lord, that thou hast shed innocent blood, or hast revenged thyself: and when the Lord shall have done well by my lord, thou shalt remember thy handmaid.

32And David said to Abigail: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me, and blessed be thy speech:
32大卫 对 亚比该 说:「耶和华— 以色列 的 神是应当称颂的,因为他今日使你来迎接我。
33And blessed be thou, who hast kept me today, from coming to blood, and revenging me with my own hand.
33你和你的见识也当称赞;因为你今日拦阻我亲手报仇、流人的血。
34Otherwise as the Lord liveth the God of Israel, who hath withholden me from doing thee any evil: if thou hadst not quickly come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
34我指着阻止我加害于你的耶和华— 以色列 永生的 神起誓,你若不速速地来迎接我,到明日早晨,凡属 拿八 的男丁必定不留一个。」
35And David received at her hand all that she had brought him, and said to her: Go in peace into thy house, behold I have heard thy voice, and have honoured thy face.
35大卫 受了 亚比该 送来的礼物,就对她说:「我听了你的话,准了你的情面,你可以平平安安地回家吧!」
36And Abigail came to Nabal: and behold he had a feast in his house, like the feast of a king, and Nabal’s heart was merry: for he was very drunk: and she told him nothing less or more until morning.
36亚比该 到 拿八 那里,见他在家里设摆筵席,如同王的筵席; 拿八 快乐大醉。 亚比该 无论大小事都没有告诉他,就等到次日早晨。
37But early in the morning when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife told him these words, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
37到了早晨, 拿八 醒了酒,他的妻将这些事都告诉他,他就魂不附体,身僵如石头一般。
38And after ten days had passed, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.
38过了十天,耶和华击打 拿八 ,他就死了。
39And when David had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: Blessed be the Lord, who hath judged the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil, and the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his head. Then David sent and treated with Abigail, that he might take her to himself for a wife.
39大卫 听见 拿八 死了,就说:「应当称颂耶和华,因他伸了 拿八 羞辱我的冤,又阻止仆人行恶;也使 拿八 的恶归到 拿八 的头上。」于是 大卫 打发人去,与 亚比该 说,要娶她为妻。
40And David’s servants came to Abigail to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying: David hath sent us to thee, to take thee to himself for a wife.
40大卫 的仆人到了 迦密 见 亚比该 ,对她说:「 大卫 打发我们来见你,想要娶你为妻。」
41And she arose and bowed herself down with her face to the earth, and said: Behold, let thy servant be a handmaid, to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
41亚比该 就起来,俯伏在地,说:「我情愿作婢女,洗我主仆人的脚。」
42And Abigail arose, and made haste, and got upon an ass, and five damsels went with her, her waiting maids, and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.
42亚比该 立刻起身,骑上驴,带着五个使女,跟从 大卫 的使者去了,就作了 大卫 的妻。
43Moreover David took also Achinoam of Jezrahel: and they were both of them his wives.
43大卫 先娶了 耶斯列 人 亚希暖 ,她们二人都作了他的妻。
44But Saul gave Michol his daughter, David’s wife, to Phalti, the son of Lais, who was of Gallium.
44扫罗 已将他的女儿 米甲 ,就是 大卫 的妻,给了 迦琳 人 拉亿 的儿子 帕提 为妻。
