Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1When Saul had returned from following the Philistines, he was told, “Behold, David is in the wilderness of En Gedi.”
1掃羅 追趕 非利士 人回來，有人告訴他說：「 大衛 在 隱‧基底 的曠野。」
2Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild goats.
2掃羅 就從 以色列 人中挑選三千精兵，率領他們往野羊的磐石去，尋索 大衛 和跟隨他的人。
3He came to the sheep pens by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were staying in the innermost parts of the cave.
3到了路旁的羊圈，在那裏有洞， 掃羅 進去大解。 大衛 和跟隨他的人正藏在洞裏的深處。
4David’s men said to him, “Behold, the day of which the LORD said to you, ‘Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.’” Then David arose and cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe secretly.
4跟隨的人對 大衛 說：「耶和華曾應許你說：『我要將你的仇敵交在你手裏，你可以任意待他。』如今時候到了！」 大衛 就起來，悄悄地割下 掃羅 外袍的衣襟。
5Afterward, David’s heart struck him because he had cut off Saul’s skirt.
5隨後 大衛 心中自責，因為割下 掃羅 的衣襟；
6He said to his men, “The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the LORD’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, since he is the LORD’s anointed.”
6對跟隨他的人說：「我的主乃是耶和華的受膏者，我在耶和華面前萬不敢伸手害他，因他是耶和華的受膏者。」
7So David checked his men with these words, and didn’t allow them to rise against Saul. Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
7大衛 用這話攔住跟隨他的人，不容他們起來害 掃羅 。 掃羅 起來，從洞裏出去行路。
8David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave and cried after Saul, saying, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and showed respect.
8隨後 大衛 也起來，從洞裏出去，呼叫 掃羅 說：「我主，我王！」 掃羅 回頭觀看， 大衛 就屈身、臉伏於地下拜。
9David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to men’s words, saying, ‘Behold, David seeks to harm you’?
9大衛 對 掃羅 說：「你為何聽信人的讒言，說 大衛 想要害你呢？
10Behold, today your eyes have seen how the LORD had delivered you today into my hand in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you. I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD’s anointed.’
10今日你親眼看見在洞中，耶和華將你交在我手裏；有人叫我殺你，我卻愛惜你，說：『我不敢伸手害我的主，因為他是耶和華的受膏者。』
11Moreover, my father, behold, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe and didn’t kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it.
11我父啊，看看你外袍的衣襟在我手中。我割下你的衣襟，沒有殺你；你由此可以知道我沒有惡意叛逆你。你雖然獵取我的命，我卻沒有得罪你。
12May the LORD judge between me and you, and may the LORD avenge me of you; but my hand will not be on you.
12願耶和華在你我中間判斷是非，在你身上為我伸冤，我卻不親手加害於你。
13As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Out of the wicked comes wickedness;’ but my hand will not be on you.
13古人有句俗語說：『惡事出於惡人。』我卻不親手加害於你。
14Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? A dead dog? A flea?
14以色列 王出來要尋找誰呢？追趕誰呢？不過追趕一條死狗，一個虼蚤就是了。
15May the LORD therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and you, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand.”
15願耶和華在你我中間施行審判，斷定是非，並且鑒察，為我伸冤，救我脫離你的手。」
16It came to pass, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, “Is that your voice, my son David?” Saul lifted up his voice and wept.
16大衛 向 掃羅 說完這話， 掃羅 說：「我兒 大衛 ，這是你的聲音嗎？」就放聲大哭，
17He said to David, “You are more righteous than I; for you have done good to me, whereas I have done evil to you.
17對 大衛 說：「你比我公義；因為你以善待我，我卻以惡待你。
18You have declared today how you have dealt well with me, because when the LORD had delivered me up into your hand, you didn’t kill me.
18你今日顯明是以善待我；因為耶和華將我交在你手裏，你卻沒有殺我。
19For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away unharmed? Therefore may the LORD reward you good for that which you have done to me today.
19人若遇見仇敵，豈肯放他平安無事地去呢？願耶和華因你今日向我所行的，以善報你。
20Now, behold, I know that you will surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand.
20我也知道你必要作王， 以色列 的國必堅立在你手裏。
21Swear now therefore to me by the LORD that you will not cut off my offspring after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father’s house.”
21現在你要指着耶和華向我起誓，不剪除我的後裔，在我父家不滅沒我的名。」
22David swore to Saul. Saul went home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
22於是 大衛 向 掃羅 起誓， 掃羅 就回家去； 大衛 和跟隨他的人上山寨去了。
