Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1The LORD sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, “There were two men in one city: the one rich, and the other poor.
1耶和華差遣 拿單 去見 大衛 。 拿單 到了 大衛 那裏，對他說：「在一座城裏有兩個人：一個是富戶，一個是窮人。
2The rich man had very many flocks and herds,
2富戶有許多牛群羊群；
3but the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and raised. It grew up together with him and with his children. It ate of his own food, drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was like a daughter to him.
3窮人除了所買來養活的一隻小母羊羔之外，別無所有。羊羔在他家裏和他兒女一同長大，吃他所吃的，喝他所喝的，睡在他懷中，在他看來如同女兒一樣。
4A traveler came to the rich man, and he didn’t want to take of his own flock and of his own herd to prepare for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”
4有一客人來到這富戶家裏；富戶捨不得從自己的牛群羊群中取一隻預備給客人吃，卻取了那窮人的羊羔，預備給客人吃。」
5David’s anger burned hot against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves to die!
5大衛 就甚惱怒那人，對 拿單 說：「我指着永生的耶和華起誓，行這事的人該死！
6He must restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing and because he had no pity!”
6他必償還羊羔四倍；因為他行這事，沒有憐恤的心。」
7Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.
7拿單 對 大衛 說：「你就是那人！耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說：『我膏你作 以色列 的王，救你脫離 掃羅 的手。
8I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more such things.
8我將你主人的家業賜給你，將你主人的妻交在你懷裏，又將 以色列 和 猶大 家賜給你；你若還以為不足，我早就加倍地賜給你。
9Why have you despised the LORD’s word, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
9你為甚麼藐視耶和華的命令，行他眼中看為惡的事呢？你借 亞捫 人的刀殺害 赫 人 烏利亞 ，又娶了他的妻為妻。
10Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken Uriah the Hittite’s wife to be your wife.’
10你既藐視我，娶了 赫 人 烏利亞 的妻為妻，所以刀劍必永不離開你的家。』
11“This is what the LORD says: ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he will lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
11耶和華如此說：『我必從你家中興起禍患攻擊你；我必在你眼前把你的妃嬪賜給別人，他在日光之下就與她們同寢。
12For you did this secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.’”
12你在暗中行這事，我卻要在 以色列 眾人面前，日光之下，報應你。』」
13David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” Nathan said to David, “The LORD also has put away your sin. You will not die.
13大衛 對 拿單 說：「我得罪耶和華了！」 拿單 說：「耶和華已經除掉你的罪，你必不至於死。
14However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the LORD’s enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you will surely die.”
14只是你行這事，叫耶和華的仇敵大得褻瀆的機會，故此，你所得的孩子必定要死。」
15Then Nathan departed to his house. The LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and he was very sick.
15拿單 就回家去了。 耶和華擊打 烏利亞 妻給 大衛 所生的孩子，使他得重病。
16David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in and lay all night on the ground.
16所以 大衛 為這孩子懇求上帝，而且禁食，進入 內室 ，終夜躺在地上。
17The elders of his house arose beside him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he didn’t eat bread with them.
17他家中的老臣來到他旁邊，要把他從地上扶起來，他卻不肯起來，也不同他們吃飯。
18On the seventh day, the child died. David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him and he didn’t listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself if we tell him that the child is dead?”
18到第七日，孩子死了。 大衛 的臣僕不敢告訴他孩子死了，因他們說：「孩子還活着的時候，我們勸他，他尚且不肯聽我們的話，若告訴他孩子死了，豈不更加憂傷嗎？」
19But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” They said, “He is dead.”
19大衛 見臣僕彼此低聲說話，就知道孩子死了，問臣僕說：「孩子死了嗎？」他們說：「死了。」
20Then David arose from the earth, and washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the LORD’s house, and worshiped. Then he came to his own house; and when he requested, they set bread before him and he ate.
20大衛 就從地上起來，沐浴，抹膏，換了衣裳，進耶和華的殿敬拜；然後回宮，吩咐人擺飯，他便吃了。
21Then his servants said to him, “What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child was dead, you rose up and ate bread.”
21臣僕問他說：「你所行的是甚麼意思？孩子活着的時候，你禁食哭泣；孩子死了，你倒起來吃飯。」
22He said, “While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who knows whether the LORD will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?’
22大衛 說：「孩子還活着，我禁食哭泣；因為我想，或者耶和華憐恤我，使孩子不死也未可知。
23But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
23孩子死了，我何必禁食，我豈能使他返回呢？我必往他那裏去，他卻不能回我這裏來。」
24David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. She bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. The LORD loved him;
24大衛 安慰他的妻 拔示巴 ，與她同寢，她就生了兒子，給他起名叫 所羅門 。耶和華也喜愛他，
25and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he named him Jedidiah, for the LORD’s sake.
25就藉先知 拿單 賜他一個名字，叫 耶底底亞 ，因為耶和華 愛他 。
26Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
26約押 攻取 亞捫 人的京城 拉巴 。
27Joab sent messengers to David, and said, “I have fought against Rabbah. Yes, I have taken the city of waters.
27約押 打發使者去見 大衛 ，說：「我攻打 拉巴 ，取其水城。
28Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called by my name.”
28現在你要聚集其餘的軍兵來，安營圍攻這城，恐怕我取了這城，人就以我的名叫這城。」
29David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, and fought against it and took it.
29於是 大衛 聚集眾軍，往 拉巴 去攻城，就取了這城，
30He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David’s head. He brought a great quantity of plunder out of the city.
30奪了 亞捫 人之王所戴的金冠冕，其上的金子重一他連得，又嵌着寶石。人將這冠冕戴在 大衛 頭上。 大衛 從城裏奪了許多財物，
31He brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work under saws, under iron picks, under axes of iron, and made them go to the brick kiln; and he did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
31將城裏的人拉出來，放在鋸下，或鐵耙下，或鐵斧下，或叫他經過磚窯； 大衛 待 亞捫 各城的居民都是如此。其後， 大衛 和眾軍都回 耶路撒冷 去了。
