1 Samuel 10
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said: 'Is it not that the LORD hath anointed thee to be prince over His inheritance?
1撒母耳 拿瓶膏油倒在 掃羅 的頭上,與他親嘴,說:「這不是耶和華膏你作他產業的君嗎?
2When thou art departed from me to-day, then thou shalt find two men by the tomb of Rachel, in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee: The asses which thou wentest to seek are found; and, lo, thy father hath left off caring for the asses, and is anxious concerning you, saying: What shall I do for my son?
2你今日與我離別之後,在 便雅憫 境內的 泄撒 ,靠近 拉結 的墳墓,要遇見兩個人。他們必對你說:『你去找的那幾頭驢已經找着了。現在你父親不為驢掛心,反為你擔憂,說:我為兒子怎麼才好呢?』
3Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the terebinth of Tabor, and there shall meet thee there three men going up to God to Beth-el, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine.
3你從那裏往前行,到了 他泊 的橡樹那裏,必遇見三個往 伯特利 去拜上帝的人:一個帶着三隻山羊羔,一個帶着三個餅,一個帶着一皮袋酒。
4And they will salute thee, and give thee two cakes of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hand.
4他們必問你安,給你兩個餅,你就從他們手中接過來。
5After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines; and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they will be prophesying.
5此後你到上帝的山,在那裏有 非利士 人的防兵。你到了城的時候,必遇見一班先知從邱壇下來,前面有鼓瑟的、擊鼓的、吹笛的、彈琴的,他們都受感說話。
6And the spirit of the LORD will come mightily upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
6耶和華的靈必大大感動你,你就與他們一同受感說話;你要變為新人。
7And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as thy hand shall find; for God is with thee.
7這兆頭臨到你,你就可以趁時而做,因為上帝與你同在。
8And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt-offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings; seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come unto thee, and tell thee what thou shalt do.'
8你當在我以先下到 吉甲 ,我也必下到那裏獻燔祭和平安祭。你要等候七日,等我到了那裏,指示你當行的事。」
9And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.
9掃羅 轉身離別 撒母耳 ,上帝就賜他一個新心。當日這一切兆頭都應驗了。
10And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the spirit of God came mightily upon him, and he prophesied among them.
10掃羅 到了那山,有一班先知遇見他,上帝的靈大大感動他,他就在先知中受感說話。
11And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another: 'What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?'
11素來認識 掃羅 的,看見他和先知一同受感說話,就彼此說:「 基士 的兒子遇見甚麼了? 掃羅 也列在先知中嗎?」
12And one of the same place answered and said: 'And who is their father?' Therefore it became a proverb: 'Is Saul also among the prophets?'
12那地方有一個人說:「這些人的父親是誰呢?」此後有句俗語說:「 掃羅 也列在先知中嗎?」
13And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
13掃羅 受感說話已畢,就上邱壇去了。
14And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant: 'Whither went ye?' And he said: 'To seek the asses; and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.'
14掃羅 的叔叔問 掃羅 和他僕人說:「你們往哪裏去了?」回答說:「找驢去了。我們見沒有驢,就到了 撒母耳 那裏。」
15And Saul's uncle said: 'Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.'
15掃羅 的叔叔說:「請將 撒母耳 向你們所說的話告訴我。」
16And Saul said unto his uncle: 'He told us plainly that the asses were found.' But concerning the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spoke, he told him not.
16掃羅 對他叔叔說:「他明明地告訴我們驢已經找着了。」至於 撒母耳 所說的國事, 掃羅 卻沒有告訴叔叔。
17And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpah.
17撒母耳 將百姓招聚到 米斯巴 耶和華那裏,
18And he said unto the children of Israel: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.
18對他們說:「耶和華- 以色列 的上帝如此說:『我領你們 以色列 人出 埃及 ,救你們脫離 埃及 人的手,又救你們脫離欺壓你們各國之人的手。』
19But ye have this day rejected your God, who Himself saveth you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and ye have said unto Him: Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.'
19你們今日卻厭棄了救你們脫離一切災難的上帝,說:『求你立一個王治理我們。』現在你們應當按着支派、宗族都站在耶和華面前。」
20So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
20於是, 撒母耳 使 以色列 眾支派近前來掣籤,就掣出 便雅憫 支派來;
21And he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken; and Saul the son of Kish was taken; but when they sought him, he could not be found.
21又使 便雅憫 支派按着宗族近前來,就掣出 瑪特利 族,從其中又掣出 基士 的兒子 掃羅 。眾人尋找他卻尋不着,
22Therefore they asked of the LORD further: 'Is there yet a man come hither?' And the LORD answered: 'Behold, he hath hid himself among the baggage.'
22就問耶和華說:「那人到這裏來了沒有?」耶和華說:「他藏在器具中了。」
23And they ran and fetched him thence; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
23眾人就跑去從那裏領出他來。他站在百姓中間,身體比眾民高過一頭。
24And Samuel said to all the people: 'See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?' And all the people shouted, and said: 'Long live the king.'
24撒母耳 對眾民說:「你們看耶和華所揀選的人,眾民中有可比他的嗎?」眾民就大聲歡呼說:「願王萬歲!」
25Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
25撒母耳 將國法對百姓說明,又記在書上,放在耶和華面前,然後遣散眾民,各回各家去了。
26And Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the men of valour, whose hearts God had touched.
26掃羅 往 基比亞 回家去,有上帝感動的一群人跟隨他。
27But certain base fellows said: 'How shall this man save us?' And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he was as one that held his peace.
27但有些匪徒說:「這人怎能救我們呢?」就藐視他,沒有送他禮物; 掃羅 卻不理會。
