2 Samuel 4
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were affrighted.
1掃羅 的兒子 伊施波設 聽見 押尼珥 死在 希伯崙 ，手就發軟； 以色列 眾人也都驚惶。
2And Saul's son had two men that were captains of bands; the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin; for Beeroth also is reckoned to Benjamin;
2掃羅 的兒子 伊施波設 有兩個軍長，一名 巴拿 ，一名 利甲 ，是 便雅憫 支派、 比錄 人 臨門 的兒子。 比錄 也屬 便雅憫 。
3and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have been sojourners there until this day.
3比錄 人早先逃到 基他音 ，在那裏寄居，直到今日。
4Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled; and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
4掃羅 的兒子 約拿單 有一個兒子名叫 米非波設 ，是瘸腿的。 掃羅 和 約拿單 死亡 的消息從 耶斯列 傳到的時候，他才五歲。他乳母抱着他逃跑；因為跑得太急，孩子掉在地上，腿就瘸了。
5And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, as he took his rest at noon.
5一日， 比錄 人 臨門 的兩個兒子 利甲 和 巴拿 出去，約在午熱的時候到了 伊施波設 的家； 伊施波設 正睡午覺。
6And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him in the groin; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
6他們進了房子，假作要取麥子，就刺透 伊施波設 的肚腹，逃跑了。
7Now when they came into the house, as he lay on his bed in his bed-chamber, they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
7他們進房子的時候， 伊施波設 正在臥房裏躺在床上，他們將他殺死，割了他的首級，拿着首級在 亞拉巴 走了一夜，
8And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king: 'Behold the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, who sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.'
8將 伊施波設 的首級拿到 希伯崙 見 大衛 王，說：「王的仇敵 掃羅 曾尋索王的性命。看哪，這是他兒子 伊施波設 的首級；耶和華今日為我主我王在 掃羅 和他後裔的身上報了仇。」
9And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them: 'As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
9大衛 對 比錄 人 臨門 的兒子 利甲 和他兄弟 巴拿 說：「我指着救我性命脫離一切苦難、永生的耶和華起誓：
10when one told me, saying: Behold, Saul is dead, and he was in his own eyes as though he brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, instead of giving a reward for his tidings.
10從前有人報告我說， 掃羅 死了，他自以為報好消息；我就拿住他，將他殺在 洗革拉 ，這就作了他報消息的賞賜。
11How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed, shall I not now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?'
11何況惡人將義人殺在他的床上，我豈不向你們討流他血的罪、從世上除滅你們呢？」
12And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it in the grave of Abner in Hebron.
12於是 大衛 吩咐少年人將他們殺了，砍斷他們的手腳，掛在 希伯崙 的池旁，卻將 伊施波設 的首級葬在 希伯崙 押尼珥 的墳墓裏。
