Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered together their armies to be prepared for war against Israel: and Achis said to David: Know thou now assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to the war, thou, and thy men.
1那時， 非利士 人聚集軍旅，要與 以色列 人打仗。 亞吉 對 大衛 說：「你當知道，你和跟隨你的人都要隨我出戰。」
2And David said to Achis: Now thou shalt know what thy servant will do. And Achis said to David: And I will appoint thee to guard my life for ever.
2大衛 對 亞吉 說：「僕人所能做的事，王必知道。」 亞吉 對 大衛 說：「這樣，我立你永遠作我的護衛長。」
3Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel mourned for him, and buried him in Ramatha his city. And Saul had put away all the magicians and soothsayers out of the land.
3那時 撒母耳 已經死了， 以色列 眾人為他哀哭，葬他在 拉瑪 ，就是在他本城裏。 掃羅 曾在國內不容有交鬼的和行巫術的人。
4And the Philistines were gathered together, and came and camped in Sunam: and Saul also gathered together all Israel, and came to Gelboe.
4非利士 人聚集，來到 書念 安營； 掃羅 聚集 以色列 眾人在 基利波 安營。
5And Saul saw the army of the Plilistines, and was afraid, and his heart was very much dismayed.
5掃羅 看見 非利士 的軍旅就懼怕，心中發顫。
6And he consulted the Lord, and he answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by priests, nor by prophets.
6掃羅 求問耶和華，耶和華卻不藉夢，或烏陵，或先知回答他。
7And Saul said to his servants: Seek me a woman that hath a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and inquire by her. And his servants said to him: There is a woman that hath a divining spirit at Endor.
7掃羅 吩咐臣僕說：「當為我找一個交鬼的婦人，我好去問她。」臣僕說：「在 隱‧多珥 有一個交鬼的婦人。」
8Then he disguised himself: and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night, and he said to her: Divine to me by thy divining spirit, and bring me up him whom I shall tell thee.
8於是 掃羅 改了裝，穿上別的衣服，帶着兩個人，夜裏去見那婦人。 掃羅 說：「求你用交鬼的法術，將我所告訴你的死人，為我招上來。」
9And the woman said to him: Behold thou knowest all that Saul hath done, and how he hath rooted out the magicians and soothsayers from the land: why then dost thou lay a snare for my life, to cause me to be put to death?
9婦人對他說：「你知道 掃羅 從國中剪除交鬼的和行巫術的。你為何陷害我的性命，使我死呢？」
10And Saul swore unto her by the Lord, saying: As the Lord liveth there shall no evil happen to thee for this thing.
10掃羅 向婦人指着耶和華起誓說：「我指着永生的耶和華起誓，你必不因這事受刑。」
11And the woman said to him: Whom shall I bring up to thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
11婦人說：「我為你招誰上來呢？」回答說：「為我招 撒母耳 上來。」
12And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice, and said to Saul: Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
12婦人看見 撒母耳 ，就大聲呼叫，對 掃羅 說：「你是 掃羅 ，為甚麼欺哄我呢？」
13And the king said to her: Fear not: what hast thou seen? And the woman said to Saul: I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
13王對婦人說：「不要懼怕，你看見了甚麼呢？」婦人對 掃羅 說：「我看見有神從地裏上來。」
14And he said to her: What form is he of? And she said: An old man cometh up, and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul understood that it was Samuel, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground, and adored.
14掃羅 說：「他是怎樣的形狀？」婦人說：「有一個老人上來，身穿長衣。」 掃羅 知道是 撒母耳 ，就屈身，臉伏於地下拜。
15And Samuel said to Saul: Why hast thou disturbed my rest, that I should be brought up? And Saul said, I am in great distress: for the Philistines fight against me, and God is departed from me, and would not hear me, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest shew me what I shall do.
15撒母耳 對 掃羅 說：「你為甚麼攪擾我，招我上來呢？」 掃羅 回答說：「我甚窘急；因為 非利士 人攻擊我，上帝也離開我，不再藉先知或夢回答我。因此請你上來，好指示我應當怎樣行。」
16And Samuel said: Why askest thou me, seeing the Lord has departed from thee, and is gone over to thy rival:
16撒母耳 說：「耶和華已經離開你，且與你為敵，你何必問我呢？
17For the Lord will do to thee as he spoke by me, and he will rend thy kingdom out of thy hand, and will give it to thy neighbour David:
17耶和華照他藉我說的話，已經從你手裏奪去國權，賜與別人，就是 大衛 。
18Because thou didst not obey the voice of the Lord, neither didst thou execute the wrath of his indignation upon Amalec. Therefore hath the Lord done to thee what thou sufferest this day.
18因你沒有聽從耶和華的命令；他惱怒 亞瑪力 人，你沒有滅絕他們，所以今日耶和華向你這樣行，
19And the Lord also will deliver Israel with thee into the hands of the Philistines: and tomorrow thou and thy sons shall be with me: and the Lord will also deliver the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.
19並且耶和華必將你和 以色列 人交在 非利士 人的手裏。明日你和你眾子必與我在一處了；耶和華必將 以色列 的軍兵交在 非利士 人手裏。」
20And forthwith Saul fell all along on the ground, for he was frightened with the words of Samuel, and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all that day.
20掃羅 猛然仆倒，挺身在地，因 撒母耳 的話甚是懼怕；那一晝一夜，沒有吃甚麼，就毫無氣力。
21And the woman came to Saul (for he was very much troubled) and said to him: Behold thy handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand: and I hearkened unto the words which thou spokest to me.
21婦人到 掃羅 面前，見他極其驚恐，對他說：「婢女聽從你的話，不顧惜自己的性命，遵從你所吩咐的。
22Now therefore hear thou also the voice of thy handmaid, and let me set before thee a morsel of bread, that thou mayest eat and recover strength, and be able to go on thy journey.
22現在求你聽婢女的話，容我在你面前擺上一點食物，你吃了，可以有氣力行路。」
23But he refused, and said: I will not eat. But his servants and the woman forced him, and at length hearkening to their voice, he arose from the ground and sat upon the bed.
23掃羅 不肯，說：「我不吃。」但他的僕人和婦人再三勸他，他才聽了他們的話，從地上起來，坐在床上。
24Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she made haste and killed it: and taking meal kneaded it, and baked some unleavened bread,
24婦人急忙將家裏的一隻肥牛犢宰了，又拿麵摶成無酵餅烤了，
25And set it before Saul, and before his servants. And when they had eaten they rose up, and walked all that night.
25擺在 掃羅 和他僕人面前。他們吃完，當夜就起身走了。
