Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1There was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the LORD. The LORD said, “It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death.”
1大衛 年間有饑荒，一連三年， 大衛 就求問耶和華。耶和華說：「這饑荒是因 掃羅 和他流人血之家殺死 基遍 人。」
2The king called the Gibeonites and said to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the children of Israel had sworn to them; and Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah);
2原來這 基遍 人不是 以色列 人，乃是 亞摩利 人中所剩的； 以色列 人曾向他們起誓， 不殺滅他們 ， 掃羅 卻為 以色列 人和 猶大 人發熱心，想要殺滅他們。 大衛 王召了他們來，
3and David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? And with what should I make atonement, that you may bless the LORD’s inheritance?”
3問他們說：「我當為你們怎樣行呢？可用甚麼贖這罪，使你們為耶和華的產業祝福呢？」
4The Gibeonites said to him, “It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel.” He said, “I will do for you whatever you say.”
4基遍 人回答說：「我們和 掃羅 與他家的事並不關乎金銀，也不要因我們的緣故殺一個 以色列 人。」 大衛 說：「你們怎樣說，我就為你們怎樣行。」
5They said to the king, “The man who consumed us and who plotted against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
5他們對王說：「那從前謀害我們、要滅我們、使我們不得再住 以色列 境內的人，
6let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD.” The king said, “I will give them.”
6現在願將他的子孫七人交給我們，我們好在耶和華面前，將他們懸掛在耶和華揀選 掃羅 的 基比亞 。」王說：「我必交給你們。」
7But the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
7王因為曾與 掃羅 的兒子 約拿單 指着耶和華起誓 結盟 ，就愛惜 掃羅 的孫子、 約拿單 的兒子 米非波設 ， 不交出來 ，
8But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
8卻把 愛雅 的女兒 利斯巴 給 掃羅 所生的兩個兒子 亞摩尼 、 米非波設 ，和 掃羅 女兒 米甲 的姊姊 給 米何拉 人 巴西萊 兒子 亞得列 所生的五個兒子
9He delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites; and they hanged them on the mountain before the LORD, and all seven of them fell together. They were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
9交在 基遍 人的手裏。 基遍 人就把他們，在耶和華面前，懸掛在山上，這七人就一同死亡。被殺的時候正是收割的日子，就是動手割大麥的時候。
10Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them from the sky. She allowed neither the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the animals of the field by night.
10愛雅 的女兒 利斯巴 用麻布在磐石上搭棚，從動手收割的時候直到天降雨在屍身上的時候，日間不容空中的雀鳥落在屍身上，夜間不讓田野的走獸前來糟踐。
11David was told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
11有人將 掃羅 的妃嬪 愛雅 女兒 利斯巴 所行的這事告訴 大衛 。
12So David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them in the day that the Philistines killed Saul in Gilboa;
12大衛 就去，從 基列‧雅比 人那裏將 掃羅 和他兒子 約拿單 的骸骨搬了來（是因 非利士 人從前在 基利波 殺 掃羅 ，將屍身懸掛在 伯‧珊 的街市上， 基列‧雅比 人把屍身偷了去。）
13and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. They also gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
13大衛 將 掃羅 和他兒子 約拿單 的骸骨從那裏搬了來，又收殮被懸掛七人的骸骨，
14They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father; and they performed all that the king commanded. After that, God answered prayer for the land.
14將 掃羅 和他兒子 約拿單 的骸骨葬在 便雅憫 的 洗拉 ，在 掃羅 父親 基士 的墳墓裏；眾人行了王所吩咐的。此後上帝垂聽國民所求的。
15The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. David grew faint;
15非利士 人與 以色列 人打仗； 大衛 帶領僕人下去，與 非利士 人接戰， 大衛 就疲乏了。
16and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, he being armed with a new sword, thought he would kill David.
16偉人的一個兒子 以實‧比諾 要殺 大衛 ；他的銅槍重三百 舍客勒 ，又佩着新 刀 。
17But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “Don’t go out with us to battle any more, so that you don’t quench the lamp of Israel.”
17但 洗魯雅 的兒子 亞比篩 幫助 大衛 ，攻打 非利士 人，將他殺死。當日，跟隨 大衛 的人向 大衛 起誓說：「以後你不可再與我們一同出戰，恐怕熄滅 以色列 的燈。」
18After this, there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.
18後來， 以色列 人在 歌伯 與 非利士 人打仗， 戶沙 人 西比該 殺了偉人的一個兒子 撒弗 。
19There was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite’s brother, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
19又在 歌伯 與 非利士 人打仗， 伯利恆 人 雅雷俄珥金 的兒子 伊勒哈難 殺了 迦特 人 歌利亞 。這人的槍桿粗如織布的機軸。
20There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on every hand and six toes on every foot, twenty-four in number, and he also was born to the giant.
20又在 迦特 打仗，那裏有一個身量高大的人，手腳都是六指，共有二十四個指頭；他也是偉人的兒子。
21When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, killed him.
21這人向 以色列 人罵陣， 大衛 的哥哥 示米亞 的兒子 約拿單 就殺了他。
22These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
22這四個人是 迦特 偉人的兒子，都死在 大衛 和他僕人的手下。
