26:1
|
西弗人到基比亚见扫罗,说:「大卫不是在旷野前的哈基拉山藏着吗?」
|
|
And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert?
|
26:2
|
扫罗就起身,带领以色列人中挑选的三千精兵下到西弗的旷野,要在那里寻索大卫。
|
|
Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
|
26:3
|
扫罗在旷野前的哈基拉山,在道路上安营。大卫住在旷野,听说扫罗到旷野来追寻他,
|
|
And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
|
26:4
|
就打发人去探听,便知道扫罗果然来到。
|
|
David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come of a certainty.
|
26:5
|
大卫起来,到扫罗安营的地方,看见扫罗和他的元帅尼珥的儿子押尼珥睡卧之处;扫罗睡在辎重营里,百姓安营在他周围。
|
|
And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were encamped round about him.
|
26:6
|
大卫对赫人亚希米勒和洗鲁雅的儿子约押的兄弟亚比筛说:「谁同我下到扫罗营里去?」亚比筛说:「我同你下去。」
|
|
Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.
|
26:7
|
于是大卫和亚比筛夜间到了百姓那里,见扫罗睡在辎重营里;他的枪在头旁,插在地上。押尼珥和百姓睡在他周围。
|
|
So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay round about him.
|
26:8
|
亚比筛对大卫说:「现在神将你的仇敌交在你手里,求你容我拿枪将他刺透在地,一刺就成,不用再刺。」
|
|
Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered up thine enemy into thy hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not smite him the second time.
|
26:9
|
大卫对亚比筛说:「不可害死他。有谁伸手害耶和华的受膏者而无罪呢?」
|
|
And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not; for who can put forth his hand against Jehovah`s anointed, and be guiltless?
|
26:10
|
大卫又说:「我指着永生的耶和华起誓,他或被耶和华击打,或是死期到了,或是出战阵亡;
|
|
And David said, As Jehovah liveth, Jehovah will smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.
|
26:11
|
我在耶和华面前,万不敢伸手害耶和华的受膏者。现在你可以将他头旁的枪和水瓶拿来,我们就走。」
|
|
Jehovah forbid that I should put forth my hand against Jehovah`s anointed: but now take, I pray thee, the spear that is at his head, and the cruse of water, and let us go.
|
26:12
|
大卫从扫罗的头旁拿了枪和水瓶,二人就走了,没有人看见,没有人知道,也没有人醒起,都睡着了,因为耶和华使他们沉沉地睡了。
|
|
So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul`s head; and they gat them away: and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Jehovah was fallen upon them.
|
26:13
|
大卫过到那边去,远远的站在山顶上,与他们相离甚远。
|
|
Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain afar off; a great space being between them;
|
26:14
|
大卫呼叫百姓和尼珥的儿子押尼珥说:「押尼珥啊,你为何不答应呢?」押尼珥说:「你是谁?竟敢呼叫王呢?」
|
|
and David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?
|
26:15
|
大卫对押尼珥说:「你不是个勇士吗?以色列中谁能比你呢?民中有人进来要害死王你的主,你为何没有保护王你的主呢?
|
|
And David said to Abner, Art not thou a [valiant] man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept watch over thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.
|
26:16
|
你这样是不好的!我指着永生的耶和华起誓,你们都是该死的;因为没有保护你们的主,就是耶和华的受膏者。现在你看看王头旁的枪和水瓶在那里。」
|
|
This thing is not good that thou hast done. As Jehovah liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept watch over your lord, Jehovah`s anointed. And now see where the king`s spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his head.
|
26:17
|
扫罗听出是大卫的声音,就说:「我儿大卫,这是你的声音吗?」大卫说:「主我的王啊,是我的声音」;
|
|
And Saul knew David`s voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.
|
26:18
|
又说:「我做了什么?我手里有什么恶事?我主竟追赶仆人呢?
|
|
And he said, Wherefore doth my lord pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in my hand?
|
26:19
|
求我主我王听仆人的话:若是耶和华激发你攻击我,愿耶和华收纳祭物;若是人激发你,愿他在耶和华面前受咒诅;因为他现今赶逐我,不容我在耶和华的产业上有分,说:『你去事奉别神吧!』
|
|
Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it be Jehovah that hath stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if it be the children of men, cursed be they before Jehovah: for they have driven me out this day that I should not cleave unto the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods.
|
26:20
|
现在求王不要使我的血流在离耶和华远的地方。以色列王出来是寻找一个虼蚤,如同人在山上猎取一个鹧鸪一般。」
|
|
Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Jehovah: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.
|
26:21
|
扫罗说:「我有罪了!我儿大卫,你可以回来,因你今日看我的性命为宝贵;我必不再加害于你。我是糊涂人,大大错了。」
|
|
Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David; for I will no more do thee harm, because my life was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
|
26:22
|
大卫说:「王的枪在这里,可以吩咐一个仆人过来拿去。
|
|
And David answered and said, Behold the spear, O king! let then one of the young men come over and fetch it.
|
26:23
|
今日耶和华将王交在我手里,我却不肯伸手害耶和华的受膏者。耶和华必照各人的公义诚实报应他。
|
|
And Jehovah will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; forasmuch as Jehovah delivered thee into my hand to-day, and I would not put forth my hand against Jehovah`s anointed.
|
26:24
|
我今日重看你的性命,愿耶和华也重看我的性命,并且拯救我脱离一切患难。」
|
|
And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of Jehovah, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.
|
26:25
|
扫罗对大卫说:「我儿大卫,愿你得福!你必做大事,也必得胜。」于是大卫起行,扫罗回他的本处去了。
|
|
Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do mightily, and shalt surely prevail. So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
