Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: David prospering and growing always stronger and stronger, but the house of Saul decaying daily.
1掃羅 家和 大衛 家爭戰許久。 大衛 家日見強盛； 掃羅 家日見衰弱。
2And sons were born to David in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon of Achinoam the Jezrahelitess:
2大衛 在 希伯崙 得了幾個兒子：長子 暗嫩 是 耶斯列 人 亞希暖 所生的；
3And his second Cheleab of Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel: and the third Absalom the son of Maacha the daughter of Tholmai king of Gessur:
3次子 基利押 是作過 迦密 人 拿八 的妻 亞比該 所生的；三子 押沙龍 是 基述 王 達買 的女兒 瑪迦 所生的；
4And the fourth Adonias, the son of Haggith: and the fifth Saphathia the son of Abital:
4四子 亞多尼雅 是 哈及 所生的；五子 示法提雅 是 亞比她 所生的；
5And the sixth Jethraam of Egla the wife of David: these were born to David in Hebron.
5六子 以特念 是 大衛 的妻 以格拉 所生的。 大衛 這六個兒子都是在 希伯崙 生的。
6Now while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner the son of Ner ruled the house of Saul.
6掃羅 家和 大衛 家爭戰的時候， 押尼珥 在 掃羅 家大有權勢。
7And Saul had a concubine named Respha, the daughter of Aia. And Isboseth said to Abner:
7掃羅 有一妃嬪，名叫 利斯巴 ，是 愛亞 的女兒。一日， 伊施波設 對 押尼珥 說：「你為甚麼與我父的妃嬪同房呢？」
8Why didst thou go in to my father’s concubine? And he was exceedingly angry for the words of Isboseth, and said: Am I a dog’s head against Juda this day, who have shewn mercy to the house of Saul thy father, and to his brethren and friends, and have not delivered thee into the hands of David, and hast thou sought this day against me to charge me with a matter concerning a woman?
8押尼珥 因 伊施波設 的話就甚發怒，說：「我豈是 猶大 的狗頭呢？我恩待你父 掃羅 的家和他的弟兄、朋友，不將你交在 大衛 手裏，今日你竟為這婦人責備我嗎？
9So do God to Abner, and more also, unless as the Lord hath sworn to David, so I do to him,
9我若不照着耶和華起誓應許 大衛 的話行，廢去 掃羅 的位，建立 大衛 的位，使他治理 以色列 和 猶大 ，從 但 直到 別是巴 ，願上帝重重地降罰與我！」
10That the kingdom be translated from the house of Saul, and the throne of David be set up over Israel, and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee.

11And he could not answer him a word, because he feared him.
11伊施波設 懼怕 押尼珥 ，不敢回答一句。
12Abner therefore sent messengers to David for himself, saying: Whose is the land? and that they should say: Make a league with me, and my hand shall be with thee: and I will bring all Israel to thee.
12押尼珥 打發人去見 大衛 ，替他說：「這國歸誰呢？」又說：「你與我立約，我必幫助你，使 以色列 人都歸服你。」
13And he said: Very well: I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, saying: Thou shalt not see my face before thou bring Michol the daughter of Saul: and so thou shalt come, and see me.
13大衛 說：「好！我與你立約。但有一件，你來見我面的時候，若不將 掃羅 的女兒 米甲 帶來，必不得見我的面。」
14And David sent messengers to Isboseth the son of Saul, saying: Restore my wife Michol, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
14大衛 就打發人去見 掃羅 的兒子 伊施波設 ，說：「你要將我的妻 米甲 歸還我；她是我從前用一百 非利士 人的陽皮所聘定的。」
15And Isboseth sent, and took her from her husband Phaltiel, the son of Lais.
15伊施波設 就打發人去，將 米甲 從 拉億 的兒子、她丈夫 帕鐵 那裏接回來。
16And her husband followed her, weeping as far as Bahurim: and Abner said to him: Go and return. And he returned.
16米甲 的丈夫跟着她，一面走一面哭，直跟到 巴戶琳 。 押尼珥 說：「你回去吧！」 帕鐵 就回去了。
17Abner also spoke to the ancients of Israel, saying: Both yesterday and the day before you sought for David that he might reign over you.
17押尼珥 對 以色列 長老說：「從前你們願意 大衛 作王治理你們，
18Now then do it: because the Lord hath spoken to David, saying: By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel from the hands of the Philistines, and of all their enemies.
18現在你們可以照心願而行。因為耶和華曾論到 大衛 說：『我必藉我僕人 大衛 的手，救我民 以色列 脫離 非利士 人和眾仇敵的手。』」
19And Abner spoke also to Benjamin. And he went to speak to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to all Benjamin.
19押尼珥 也用這話說給 便雅憫 人聽，又到 希伯崙 ，將 以色列 人和 便雅憫 全家一切所喜悅的事說給 大衛 聽。
20And he came to David in Hebron with twenty men: and David made a feast for Abner, and his men that came with him.
20押尼珥 帶着二十個人來到 希伯崙 見 大衛 ， 大衛 就為 押尼珥 和他帶來的人設擺筵席。
21And Abner said to David: I will rise, that I may gather all Israel unto thee my lord the king, and may enter into a league with thee, and that thou mayst reign over all as thy soul desireth. Now when David bad brought Abner on his way, and he was gone in peace,
21押尼珥 對 大衛 說：「我要起身去招聚 以色列 眾人來見我主我王，與你立約，你就可以照着心願作王。」於是 大衛 送 押尼珥 去， 押尼珥 就平平安安地去了。
22Immediately David’s servants and Joab came, after having slain the robbers, with an exceeding great booty: and Abner, was not with David in Hebron, for he had now sent him away, and he was gone in peace.
22約押 和 大衛 的僕人攻擊敵軍，帶回許多的掠物。那時 押尼珥 不在 希伯崙 大衛 那裏，因 大衛 已經送他去，他也平平安安地去了。
23And Joab and all the army that was with him, came afterwards: and it was told Joab, that Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.
23約押 和跟隨他的全軍到了，就有人告訴 約押 說：「 尼珥 的兒子 押尼珥 來見王，王送他去，他也平平安安地去了。」
24And Joab went in to the king, and said: What hast thou done? Behold Abner came to thee: Why didst thou send him away, and he is gone and departed?
24約押 去見王說：「你這是做甚麼呢？ 押尼珥 來見你，你為何送他去，他就蹤影不見了呢？
25Knowest thou not Abner the son of Ner, that to this end he came to thee, that he might deceive thee, and to know thy going out, and thy coming in, and to know all thou dost?
25你當曉得， 尼珥 的兒子 押尼珥 來是要誆哄你，要知道你的出入和你一切所行的事。」
26Then Joab going out from David, sent messengers after Abner, and brought him back from the cistern of Sira, David knowing nothing of it.
26約押 從 大衛 那裏出來，就打發人去追趕 押尼珥 ，在 西拉井 追上他，將他帶回來， 大衛 卻不知道。
27And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside to the middle of the gate, to speak to him treacherously: and he stabbed him there in the groin, and he died, in revenge of the blood of Asael his brother.
27押尼珥 回到 希伯崙 ， 約押 領他到城門的甕洞，假作要與他說機密話，就在那裏刺透他的肚腹，他便死了。這是報殺他兄弟 亞撒黑 的仇。
28And when David heard of it, after the thing was now done, he said: I, and my kingdom are innocent before the Lord for ever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
28大衛 聽見了，就說：「流 尼珥 的兒子 押尼珥 的血，這罪在耶和華面前必永不歸我和我的國。
29And may it come upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father’s house: and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue of seed, or that is a leper, or that holdeth the distaff, or that falleth by the sword, or that wanteth bread.
29願流他血的罪歸到 約押 頭上和他父的全家；又願 約押 家不斷有患漏症的，長大痲瘋的，架柺而行的，被刀殺死的，缺乏飲食的。」
30So Joab and Abisai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother Asael at Gabaon in the battle.
30約押 和他兄弟 亞比篩 殺了 押尼珥 ，是因 押尼珥 在 基遍 爭戰的時候殺了他們的兄弟 亞撒黑 。
31And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him: Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloths, and mourn before the funeral of Abner. And king David himself followed the bier.
31大衛 吩咐 約押 和跟隨他的眾人說：「你們當撕裂衣服，腰束麻布，在 押尼珥 棺 前哀哭。」 大衛 王也跟在棺後。
32And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, king David lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner: and all the people also wept.
32他們將 押尼珥 葬在 希伯崙 。王在 押尼珥 的墓旁放聲而哭，眾民也都哭了。
33And the king mourning and lamenting over Abner, said: Not as cowards are wont to die, hath Abner died.
33王為 押尼珥 舉哀，說： 押尼珥 何竟像愚頑人死呢？
34Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet laden with fetters: but as men fall before the children of iniquity, so didst thou fall. And all the people repeating it wept over him.
34你手未曾捆綁，腳未曾鎖住。 你死，如人死在罪孽之輩手下一樣。 於是眾民又為 押尼珥 哀哭。
35And when all the people came to take meat with David, while it was yet broad day, David swore, saying: So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread or any thing else before sunset.
35日頭未落的時候，眾民來勸 大衛 吃飯，但 大衛 起誓說：「我若在日頭未落以前吃飯，或吃別物，願上帝重重地降罰與我！」
36And all the people heard, and they were pleased, and all that the king did seemed good in the sight of all the people.
36眾民知道了就都喜悅。凡王所行的，眾民無不喜悅。
37And all the people, and all Israel understood that day that it was not the king’s doing, that Abner the son of Ner was slain.
37那日， 以色列 眾民才知道殺 尼珥 的兒子 押尼珥 並非出於王意。
38The king also said to his servants: Do you not know that a prince and great man is slain this day in Israel?
38王對臣僕說：「你們豈不知今日 以色列 人中死了一個作元帥的大丈夫嗎？
39But I as yet am tender, though anointed king. And these men the sons of Sarvia are too hard for me: the Lord reward him that doth evil according to his wickedness.
39我雖然受膏為王，今日還是軟弱；這 洗魯雅 的兩個兒子比我剛強。願耶和華照着惡人所行的惡報應他。」
