Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1David said in his heart, “I will now perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel. So I will escape out of his hand.”
1大衛 心裏說：「必有一日我死在 掃羅 手裏，不如逃奔 非利士 地去。 掃羅 見我不在 以色列 的境內，就必絕望，不再尋索我；這樣我可以脫離他的手。」
2David arose and passed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
2於是 大衛 起身，和跟隨他的六百人投奔 迦特 王－ 瑪俄 的兒子 亞吉 去了。
3David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife.
3大衛 和他的兩個妻，就是 耶斯列 人 亞希暖 和作過 拿八 妻的 迦密 人 亞比該 ，並跟隨他的人，連各人的眷屬，都住在 迦特 的 亞吉 那裏。
4Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, so he stopped looking for him.
4有人告訴 掃羅 說：「 大衛 逃到 迦特 。」 掃羅 就不再尋索他了。
5David said to Achish, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?”
5大衛 對 亞吉 說：「我若在你眼前蒙恩，求你在京外的城邑中賜我一個地方居住。僕人何必與王同住京都呢？」
6Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: therefore Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day.
6當日 亞吉 將 洗革拉 賜給他，因此 洗革拉 屬 猶大 王，直到今日。
7The number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
7大衛 在 非利士 地住了一年零四個月。
8David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for those were the inhabitants of the land who were of old, on the way to Shur, even to the land of Egypt.
8大衛 和跟隨他的人上去，侵奪 基述 人、 基色 人、 亞瑪力 人之地。這幾族歷來住在那地，從 書珥 直到 埃及 。
9David struck the land, and saved no man or woman alive, and took away the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned, and came to Achish.
9大衛 擊殺那地的人，無論男女都沒有留下一個，又奪獲牛、羊、駱駝、驢，並衣服，回來見 亞吉 。
10Achish said, “Against whom have you made a raid today?” David said, “Against the South of Judah, against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.”
10亞吉 說：「你們今日侵奪了甚麼地方呢？」 大衛 說：「侵奪了 猶大 的南方、 耶拉篾 的南方、 基尼 的南方。」
11David saved neither man nor woman alive to bring them to Gath, saying, “Lest they should tell about us, saying, ‘David did this, and this has been his way all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.’”
11無論男女， 大衛 沒有留下一個帶到 迦特 來。他說：「恐怕他們將我們的事告訴人，說 大衛 住在 非利士 地的時候常常這樣行。」
12Achish believed David, saying, “He has made his people Israel utterly to abhor him. Therefore he will be my servant forever.”
12亞吉 信了 大衛 ，心裏說：「 大衛 使本族 以色列 人憎惡他，所以他必永遠作我的僕人了。」
