Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And after these things David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up into one of the cities of Juda? And the Lord said to him: Go up. And David said: Whither shall I go up? And he answered him: Into Hebron.
1此後， 大衛 問耶和華說：「我上 猶大 的一個城去可以嗎？」耶和華說：「可以。」 大衛 說：「我上哪一個城去呢？」耶和華說：「上 希伯崙 去。」
2So David went up, and his two wives, Achinoam the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel:
2於是 大衛 和他的兩個妻－一個是 耶斯列 人 亞希暖 ，一個是作過 迦密 人 拿八 妻的 亞比該 －都上那裏去了。
3And the men also that were with him, David brought up every man with his household: and they abode in the towns of Hebron.
3大衛 也將跟隨他的人和他們各人的眷屬一同帶上去，住在 希伯崙 的城邑中。
4And the men of Juda came, and anointed David there, to be king over the house of Juda. And it was told David, that the men of Jabes Galaad had buried Saul.
4猶大 人來到 希伯崙 ，在那裏膏 大衛 作 猶大 家的王。 有人告訴 大衛 說：「葬埋 掃羅 的是 基列‧雅比 人。」
5David therefore sent messengers to the men of Jabes Galaad, and said to them: Blessed be you to the Lord, who have shewn this mercy to your master Saul, and have buried him.
5大衛 就差人去見 基列‧雅比 人，對他們說：「你們厚待你們的主－ 掃羅 ，將他葬埋。願耶和華賜福與你們！
6And now the Lord surely will render you mercy and truth, and I also will, requite you for this good turn, because you have done this thing.
6你們既行了這事，願耶和華以慈愛誠實待你們，我也要為此厚待你們。
7Let your hands be strengthened, and be ye men of valour: for although your master Saul be dead, yet the house of Juda hath anointed me to be their king.
7現在你們的主－ 掃羅 死了， 猶大 家已經膏我作他們的王，所以你們要剛強奮勇。」
8But Abner the son of Ner, general of Saul’s army, took Isboseth the son of Saul, and led him about through the camp?
8掃羅 的元帥 尼珥 的兒子 押尼珥 ，曾將 掃羅 的兒子 伊施波設 帶過 河 ，到 瑪哈念 ，
9And made him king over Galaad, and, over Gessuri, and over Jezrahel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
9立他作王，治理 基列 、 亞書利 、 耶斯列 、 以法蓮 、 便雅憫 ，和 以色列 眾人。
10Isboseth the son of Saul was forty years old when he began to reign over, Israel, and he reigned two years: and only the house of Juda followed David.
10掃羅 的兒子 伊施波設 登基的時候年四十歲，作 以色列 王二年；惟獨 猶大 家歸從 大衛 。
11And the number of the days that David abode, reigning in Hebron over the house of Juda, was seven years and six months.
11大衛 在 希伯崙 作 猶大 家的王，共七年零六個月。
12And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Isboseth the son of Saul, went out from the camp to Gabaon.
12尼珥 的兒子 押尼珥 和 掃羅 的兒子 伊施波設 的僕人從 瑪哈念 出來，往 基遍 去。
13And Joab the son of Sarvia, and the servants of David went out, and met them by the pool of Gabaon. And when they were come together, they sat down over against one another: the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side.
13洗魯雅 的兒子 約押 和 大衛 的僕人也出來，在 基遍 池旁與他們相遇；一班坐在池這邊，一班坐在池那邊。
14And Abner said to Joab: Let the young men rise, and play before us. And Joab answered: Let them rise.
14押尼珥 對 約押 說：「讓少年人起來，在我們面前戲耍吧！」 約押 說：「可以。」
15Then there arose and went over twelve in number of Benjamin, of the part of Isboseth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
15就按着定數起來：屬 掃羅 兒子 伊施波設 的 便雅憫 人過去十二名， 大衛 的僕人也過去十二名，
16And every one catching his fellow, by the head, thrust his sword into the side of his adversary, and they fell down together: and the name of the place was called: The field of the valiant, in Gabaon.
16彼此揪頭，用刀刺肋，一同仆倒。所以，那地叫做 希利甲‧哈素林 ，就在 基遍 。
17And there was a very fierce battle that day: and Abner was put to flight, with the men of Israel, by the servants of David.
17那日的戰事凶猛， 押尼珥 和 以色列 人敗在 大衛 的僕人面前。
18And there were the three sons of Sarvia there, Joab, and Abisai, and Asael: now Asael was a most swift runner, like one of the roes that abide in the woods.
18在那裏有 洗魯雅 的三個兒子： 約押 、 亞比篩 、 亞撒黑 。 亞撒黑 腳快如野鹿一般；
19And Asael pursued after Abner, and turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
19亞撒黑 追趕 押尼珥 ，直追趕他不偏左右。
20And Abner looked behind him, and said: Art thou Asael? And he answered: I am.
20押尼珥 回頭說：「你是 亞撒黑 嗎？」回答說：「是。」
21And Abner said to him: Go to the right hand or to the left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take thee his spoils. But Asael would not leave off following him close.
21押尼珥 對他說：「你或轉向左轉向右，拿住一個少年人，剝去他的戰衣。」 亞撒黑 卻不肯轉開不追趕他。
22And again Abner said to Asael: Go off, and do not follow me, lest I be obliged to stab thee to the ground, and I shall not be able to hold up my face to Joab thy brother.
22押尼珥 又對 亞撒黑 說：「你轉開不追趕我吧！我何必殺你呢？若殺你，有甚麼臉見你哥哥 約押 呢？」
23But he refused to hearken to him, and would not turn aside: wherefore Abner struck him with his spear with a back stroke in the groin, and thrust him through, and he died upon the spot: and all that came to the place where Asael fell down and died stood still.
23亞撒黑 仍不肯轉開。故此， 押尼珥 就用槍鐏刺入他的肚腹，甚至槍從背後透出， 亞撒黑 就在那裏仆倒而死。眾人趕到 亞撒黑 仆倒而死的地方，就都站住。
24Now while Joab and Abisai pursued after Abner, the sun went down: and they came as far as the hill of the aqueduct, that lieth over against the valley by the way of the wilderness in Gabaon.
24約押 和 亞比篩 追趕 押尼珥 ，日落的時候，到了通 基遍 曠野的路旁， 基亞 對面的 亞瑪山 。
25And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together to Abner: and being joined in one body, they stood on the top of a hill.
25便雅憫 人聚集，跟隨 押尼珥 站在一個山頂上。
26And Abner cried out to Joab, and said: Shall thy sword rage unto utter destruction? knowest thou not that it is dangerous to drive people to despair? how long dost thou defer to bid the people cease from pursuing after their brethren?
26押尼珥 呼叫 約押 說：「刀劍豈可永遠殺人嗎？你豈不知終久必有苦楚嗎？你要等何時才叫百姓回去、不追趕弟兄呢？」
27And Joab said: As the Lord liveth, if thou hadst spoke sooner, even in the morning the people should have retired from pursuing after their brethren.
27約押 說：「我指着永生的上帝起誓：你若不說 戲耍的 那句話，今日早晨百姓就回去，不追趕弟兄了。」
28Then Joab sounded the trumpet, and all the army stood still, and did not pursue after Israel any farther, nor fight any more.
28於是 約押 吹角，眾民就站住，不再追趕 以色列 人，也不再打仗了。
29And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plains: and they passed the Jordan, and having gone through all Beth-horon, came to the camp.
29押尼珥 和跟隨他的人整夜經過 亞拉巴 ，過 約旦河 ，走過 畢倫 ，到了 瑪哈念 。
30And Joab returning, after he had left Abner, assembled all the people: and there were wanting of David’s servants nineteen men, beside Asael.
30約押 追趕 押尼珥 回來，聚集眾民，見 大衛 的僕人中缺少了十九個人和 亞撒黑 。
31But the servants of David had killed of Benjamin, and of the men that were with Abner, three hundred and sixty, who all died.
31但 大衛 的僕人殺了 便雅憫 人和跟隨 押尼珥 的人，共三百六十名。
32And they took Asael, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father in Bethlehem, and Joab, and the men that were with him, marched all the night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
32眾人將 亞撒黑 送到 伯利恆 ，葬在他父親的墳墓裏。 約押 和跟隨他的人走了一夜，天亮的時候到了 希伯崙 。
