Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Seba, the son of Bochri, a man of Jemini: and he sounded the trumpet, and said: We have no part in David, nor inheritance in the son of Isai: return to thy dwellings, O Israel.
1在那里恰巧有一个匪徒，名叫 示巴 ，是 便雅悯 人 比基利 的儿子。他吹角，说：「我们与 大卫 无分，与 耶西 的儿子无涉。 以色列 人哪，你们各回各家去吧！」
2And all Israel departed from David, and followed Seba the son of Bochri: but the men of Juda stuck to their king from the Jordan unto Jerusalem.
2于是 以色列 人都离开 大卫 ，跟随 比基利 的儿子 示巴 。但 犹大 人从 约旦河 直到 耶路撒冷 ，都紧紧跟随他们的王。
3And when the king was come into his house at Jerusalem, he took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, allowing them provisions: and he went not in unto them, but they were shut up unto the day of their death living in widowhood.
3大卫 王来到 耶路撒冷 ，进了宫殿，就把从前留下看守宫殿的十个妃嫔禁闭在 冷宫 ，养活她们，不与她们亲近。她们如同寡妇被禁，直到死的日子。
4And the king said to Amasa: Assemble to me all the men of Juda against the third day, and be thou here present.
4王对 亚玛撒 说：「你要在三日之内将 犹大 人招聚了来，你也回到这里来。」
5So Amasa went to assemble the men of Juda, but he tarried beyond the set time which the king had appointed him.
5亚玛撒 就去招聚 犹大 人，却耽延过了王所限的日期。
6And David said to Abisai: Now will Seba the son of Bochri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou therefore the servants of thy lord, and pursue after him, lest he find fenced cities, and escape us.
6大卫 对 亚比筛 说：「现在恐怕 比基利 的儿子 示巴 加害于我们比 押沙龙 更甚。你要带领你主的仆人追赶他，免得他得了坚固城，躲避我们。」
7So Joab’s men went out with him, and the Cerethi and the Phelethi: and all the valiant men went out of Jerusalem to pursue after Seba the son of Bochri.
7约押 的人和 基利提 人、 比利提 人，并所有的勇士，都跟着 亚比筛 ，从 耶路撒冷 出去追赶 比基利 的儿子 示巴 。
8And when they were at the great stone which is in Gabaon, Amasa coming met them. And Joab had on a close coat of equal length with his habit, and over it was girded with a sword hanging down to his flank, in a scabbard, made in such manner as to come out with the least motion and strike.
8他们到了 基遍 的大磐石那里， 亚玛撒 来迎接他们。那时 约押 穿着战衣，腰束佩刀的带子，刀在鞘内； 约押 前行，刀从鞘内掉出来。
9And Joab said to Amasa: God save thee, my brother. And he took Amasa by the chin with his right hand to kiss him.
9约押 左手拾起刀来 ，对 亚玛撒 说：「我兄弟，你好啊！」就用右手抓住 亚玛撒 的胡子，要与他亲嘴。
10But Amasa did not take notice of the sword, which Joab had, and he struck him in the side, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and gave him not a second wound, and he died. And Joab, and Abisai his brother pursued after Seba the son of Bochri.
10亚玛撒 没有防备 约押 手里所拿的刀； 约押 用刀刺入他的肚腹，他的肠子流在地上，没有再刺他，就死了。 约押 和他兄弟 亚比筛 往前追赶 比基利 的儿子 示巴 。
11In the mean time some men of Joab’s company stopping at the dead body of Amasa, said: Behold he that would have been in Joab’s stead the companion of David.
11有 约押 的一个少年人站在 亚玛撒 尸身旁边， 对众人 说：「谁喜悦 约押 ，谁归顺 大卫 ，就当跟随 约押 去。」
12And Amasa imbrued with blood, lay in the midst of the way. A certain man saw this that all the people stood still to look upon him, so he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and covered him with a garment, that they who passed might not stop on his account.
12亚玛撒 在道路上滚在自己的血里。那人见众民 经过 都站住，就把 亚玛撒 的尸身从路上挪到田间，用衣服遮盖。
13And when he was removed out of the way, all the people went on following Joab to pursue after Seba the son of Bochri.
13尸身从路上挪移之后，众民就都跟随 约押 去追赶 比基利 的儿子 示巴 。
14Now he had passed through all the tribes of Israel unto Abela and Bethmaacha: and all the chosen men were gathered together unto him.
14他走遍 以色列 各支派，直到 伯·玛迦 的 亚比拉 ，并 比利 人的全地；那些地方的人也都聚集跟随他。
15And they came, and besieged him in Abela, and in Bethmaacha, and they cast up works round the city, and the city was besieged: and all the people that were with Joab, laboured to throw down the walls.
15约押 和跟随的人到了 伯·玛迦 的 亚比拉 ，围困 示巴 ，就对着城筑垒；跟随 约押 的众民 用锤 撞城，要使城塌陷。
16And a wise woman cried out from the city: Hear, hear, and say to Joab: Come near hither, and I will speak with thee.
16有一个聪明妇人从城上呼叫说：「听啊，听啊，请 约押 近前来，我好与他说话。」
17And when he was come near to her, she said to him: Art thou Joab? And he answered: I am. And she spoke thus to him: Hear the words of thy handmaid. He answered: I do hear.
17约押 就近前来，妇人问他说：「你是 约押 不是？」他说：「我是。」妇人说：「求你听婢女的话。」 约押 说：「我听。」
18And she again said: A saying was used in the old proverb: They that inquire, let them inquire in Abela: and so they made an end.
18妇人说：「古时有话说，当先在 亚比拉 求问，然后事就定妥。
19Am not I she that answer truth in Israel, and thou seekest to destroy the city, and to overthrow a mother in Israel? Why wilt thou throw down the inheritance of the Lord?
19我们这城的人在 以色列 人中是和平、忠厚的。你为何要毁坏 以色列 中的大城，吞灭耶和华的产业呢？」
20And Joab answering said: God forbid, God forbid that I should, I do not throw down, nor destroy.
20约押 回答说：「我决不吞灭毁坏，
21The matter is not so, but a man of mount Ephraim, Seba the son of Bochri by name, hath lifted up his hand against king David: deliver him only, and we will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab: Behold his head shall be thrown to thee from the wall.
21乃因 以法莲 山地的一个人— 比基利 的儿子 示巴 —举手攻击 大卫 王，你们若将他一人交出来，我便离城而去。」妇人对 约押 说：「那人的首级必从城墙上丢给你。」
22So she went to all the people, and spoke to them wisely: and they cut off the head of Seba the son of Bochri, and cast it out to Joab. And he sounded the trumpet, and they departed from the city, every one to their home: and Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
22妇人就凭她的智慧去劝众人。他们便割下 比基利 的儿子 示巴 的首级，丢给 约押 。 约押 吹角，众人就离城而散，各归各家去了。 约押 回 耶路撒冷 ，到王那里。
23So Joab was over all the army of Israel: and Banaias the son of Joiada was over the Cerethites and Phelethites,
23约押 作 以色列 全军的元帅； 耶何耶大 的儿子 比拿雅 统辖 基利提 人和 比利提 人；
24But Aduram over the tributes: and Josaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder.
24亚多兰 掌管服苦的人； 亚希律 的儿子 约沙法 作史官；
25And Siva was scribe: and Sadoc and Abiathar, priests.
25示法 作书记； 撒督 和 亚比亚他 作祭司 长 ；
26And Ira the Jairite was the priest of David.
26睚珥 人 以拉 作 大卫 的宰相。
