Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1In those days, the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. Achish said to David, “Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the army, you and your men.”
1那時， 非利士 人聚集軍旅，要與 以色列 人打仗。 亞吉 對 大衛 說：「你當知道，你和跟隨你的人都要隨我出戰。」
2David said to Achish, “Therefore you will know what your servant can do.” Achish said to David, “Therefore I will make you my bodyguard forever.”
2大衛 對 亞吉 說：「僕人所能做的事，王必知道。」 亞吉 對 大衛 說：「這樣，我立你永遠作我的護衛長。」
3Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. Saul had sent away those who had familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land.
3那時 撒母耳 已經死了， 以色列 眾人為他哀哭，葬他在 拉瑪 ，就是在他本城裏。 掃羅 曾在國內不容有交鬼的和行巫術的人。
4The Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa.
4非利士 人聚集，來到 書念 安營； 掃羅 聚集 以色列 眾人在 基利波 安營。
5When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
5掃羅 看見 非利士 的軍旅就懼怕，心中發顫。
6When Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD didn’t answer him by dreams, by Urim, or by prophets.
6掃羅 求問耶和華，耶和華卻不藉夢，或烏陵，或先知回答他。
7Then Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman who has a familiar spirit, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” His servants said to him, “Behold, there is a woman who has a familiar spirit at Endor.”
7掃羅 吩咐臣僕說：「當為我找一個交鬼的婦人，我好去問她。」臣僕說：「在 隱‧多珥 有一個交鬼的婦人。」
8Saul disguised himself and put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. Then he said, “Please consult for me by the familiar spirit, and bring me up whomever I shall name to you.”
8於是 掃羅 改了裝，穿上別的衣服，帶着兩個人，夜裏去見那婦人。 掃羅 說：「求你用交鬼的法術，將我所告訴你的死人，為我招上來。」
9The woman said to him, “Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who have familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?”
9婦人對他說：「你知道 掃羅 從國中剪除交鬼的和行巫術的。你為何陷害我的性命，使我死呢？」
10Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, “As the LORD lives, no punishment will happen to you for this thing.”
10掃羅 向婦人指着耶和華起誓說：「我指着永生的耶和華起誓，你必不因這事受刑。」
11Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up to you?” He said, “Bring Samuel up for me.”
11婦人說：「我為你招誰上來呢？」回答說：「為我招 撒母耳 上來。」
12When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!”
12婦人看見 撒母耳 ，就大聲呼叫，對 掃羅 說：「你是 掃羅 ，為甚麼欺哄我呢？」
13The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid! What do you see?” The woman said to Saul, “I see a god coming up out of the earth.”
13王對婦人說：「不要懼怕，你看見了甚麼呢？」婦人對 掃羅 說：「我看見有神從地裏上來。」
14He said to her, “What does he look like?” She said, “An old man comes up. He is covered with a robe.” Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and showed respect.
14掃羅 說：「他是怎樣的形狀？」婦人說：「有一個老人上來，身穿長衣。」 掃羅 知道是 撒母耳 ，就屈身，臉伏於地下拜。
15Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me, to bring me up?” Saul answered, “I am very distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me, and answers me no more, by prophets, or by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I shall do.”
15撒母耳 對 掃羅 說：「你為甚麼攪擾我，招我上來呢？」 掃羅 回答說：「我甚窘急；因為 非利士 人攻擊我，上帝也離開我，不再藉先知或夢回答我。因此請你上來，好指示我應當怎樣行。」
16Samuel said, “Why then do you ask me, since the LORD has departed from you and has become your adversary?
16撒母耳 說：「耶和華已經離開你，且與你為敵，你何必問我呢？
17The LORD has done to you as he spoke by me. The LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, even to David.
17耶和華照他藉我說的話，已經從你手裏奪去國權，賜與別人，就是 大衛 。
18Because you didn’t obey the LORD’s voice, and didn’t execute his fierce wrath on Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you today.
18因你沒有聽從耶和華的命令；他惱怒 亞瑪力 人，你沒有滅絕他們，所以今日耶和華向你這樣行，
19Moreover the LORD will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will deliver the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.”
19並且耶和華必將你和 以色列 人交在 非利士 人的手裏。明日你和你眾子必與我在一處了；耶和華必將 以色列 的軍兵交在 非利士 人手裏。」
20Then Saul fell immediately his full length on the earth, and was terrified, because of Samuel’s words. There was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all day long or all night long.
20掃羅 猛然仆倒，挺身在地，因 撒母耳 的話甚是懼怕；那一晝一夜，沒有吃甚麼，就毫無氣力。
21The woman came to Saul and saw that he was very troubled, and said to him, “Behold, your servant has listened to your voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have listened to your words which you spoke to me.
21婦人到 掃羅 面前，見他極其驚恐，對他說：「婢女聽從你的話，不顧惜自己的性命，遵從你所吩咐的。
22Now therefore, please listen also to the voice of your servant, and let me set a morsel of bread before you. Eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way.”
22現在求你聽婢女的話，容我在你面前擺上一點食物，你吃了，可以有氣力行路。」
23But he refused, and said, “I will not eat.” But his servants, together with the woman, constrained him; and he listened to their voice. So he arose from the earth and sat on the bed.
23掃羅 不肯，說：「我不吃。」但他的僕人和婦人再三勸他，他才聽了他們的話，從地上起來，坐在床上。
24The woman had a fattened calf in the house. She hurried and killed it; and she took flour and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread of it.
24婦人急忙將家裏的一隻肥牛犢宰了，又拿麵摶成無酵餅烤了，
25She brought it before Saul and before his servants, and they ate. Then they rose up and went away that night.
25擺在 掃羅 和他僕人面前。他們吃完，當夜就起身走了。
