旧约 -- 撒母耳记上(1 Samuel) -- 第 11 章 ( 本篇共有 31 章 )
11:1 亚扪人的王拿辖上来，对着基列雅比安营。雅比众人对拿辖说，你与我们立约，我们就服事你。
Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
11:2 亚扪人拿辖说，你们若由我剜出你们各人的右眼，以此凌辱以色列众人，我就与你们立约。
And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel
11:3 雅比的长老对他说，求你宽容我们七日，等我们打发人往以色列的全境去。若没有人救我们，我们就出来归顺你。
And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel
11:4 使者到了扫罗住的基比亚，将这话说给百姓听，百姓就都放声而哭。
Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
11:5 扫罗正从田间赶牛回来，问说，百姓为什么哭呢。众人将雅比人的话告诉他。
And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
11:6 扫罗听见这话，就被神的灵大大感动，甚是发怒。
And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.
11:7 他将一对牛切成块子，托付使者传送以色列的全境，说，凡不出来跟随扫罗和撒母耳的，也必这样切开他的牛。于是耶和华使百姓惧怕，他们就都出来，如同一人。
And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel
11:8 扫罗在比色数点他们，以色列人有三十万，犹大人有三万。
And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah
11:9 众人对那使者说，你们要回覆基列雅比人说，明日太阳近午的时候，你们必得解救。使者回去告诉雅比人，他们就欢喜了。
And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
11:10 于是雅比人对亚扪人说，明日我们出来归顺你们，你们可以随意待我们。
Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you.
11:11 第二日，扫罗将百姓分为三队，在晨更的时候入了亚扪人的营，击杀他们直到太阳近午，剩下的人都逃散，没有二人同在一处的。
And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
11:12 百姓对撒母耳说，那说扫罗岂能管理我们的是谁呢。可以将他交出来，我们好杀死他。
And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.
11:13 扫罗说，今日耶和华在以色列中施行拯救，所以不可杀人。
And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel
11:14 撒母耳对百姓说，我们要往吉甲去，在那里立国。
Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
11:15 众百姓就到了吉甲那里，在耶和华面前立扫罗为王，又在耶和华面前献平安祭。扫罗和以色列众人大大欢喜。
And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel
旧约 -- 撒母耳记上(1 Samuel) -- 第 12 章 ( 本篇共有 31 章 )
12:1 撒母耳对以色列众人说，你们向我所求的，我已应允了，为你们立了一个王。
And Samuel said unto all Israel
12:2 现在有这王在你们前面行。我已年老发白，我的儿子都在你们这里。我从幼年直到今日都在你们前面行。
And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.
12:3 我在这里，你们要在耶和华和他的受膏者面前给我作见证。我夺过谁的牛，抢过谁的驴，欺负过谁，虐待过谁，从谁手里受过贿赂因而眼瞎呢。若有，我必偿还。
Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.
12:4 众人说，你未曾欺负我们，虐待我们，也未曾从谁手里受过什么。
And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.
12:5 撒母耳对他们说，你们在我手里没有找着什么，有耶和华和他的受膏者今日为证。他们说，愿他为证。
And he said unto them, The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.
12:6 撒母耳对百姓说，从前立摩西，亚伦，又领你们列祖出埃及地的是耶和华。
And Samuel said unto the people, It is the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt
12:7 现在你们要站住，等我在耶和华面前对你们讲论耶和华向你们和你们列祖所行一切公义的事。
Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers.
12:8 从前雅各到了埃及，后来你们列祖呼求耶和华，耶和华就差遣摩西，亚伦领你们列祖出埃及，使他们在这地方居住。
When Jacob was come into Egypt , and your fathers cried unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt
12:9 他们却忘记耶和华他们的神，他就把他们付与夏琐将军西西拉的手里，和非利士人并摩押王的手里。于是这些人常来攻击他们。
And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab
12:10 他们就呼求耶和华说，我们离弃耶和华，事奉巴力和亚斯她录，是出偏差了。现在求你救我们脱离仇敌的手，我们必事奉你。
And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
12:11 耶和华就差遣耶路巴力，比但，耶弗他，撒母耳救你们脱离四围仇敌的手，你们才安然居住。
And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe.
12:12 你们见亚扪人的王拿辖来攻击你们，就对我说，我们定要一个王治理我们。其实耶和华你们的神是你们的王。
And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God was your king.
12:13 现在，你们所求所选的王在这里。看哪，耶和华已经为你们立王了。
Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.
12:14 你们若敬畏耶和华，事奉他，听从他的话，不违背他的命令，你们和治理你们的王也都顺从耶和华你们的神就好了。
If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:
12:15 倘若不听从耶和华的话，违背他的命令，耶和华的手必攻击你们，像从前攻击你们列祖一样。
But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers.
12:16 现在你们要站住，看耶和华在你们眼前要行一件大事。
Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.
12:17 这不是割麦子的时候吗。我求告耶和华，他必打雷降雨，使你们又知道又看出，你们求立王的事在耶和华看来是大邪恶。
Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.
12:18 于是撒母耳求告耶和华，耶和华就在这日打雷降雨，众民便甚惧怕耶和华和撒母耳。
So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.
12:19 众民对撒母耳说，求你为仆人们祷告耶和华你的神，免得我们死亡，因为我们求立王的事正是偏差上加恶行了。
And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.
12:20 撒母耳对百姓说，不要惧怕。你们虽然行了这恶，却不要偏离耶和华，只要尽心事奉他。
And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;
12:21 若偏离耶和华去顺从那不能救人的虚神是无益的。
And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
12:22 耶和华既喜悦选你们作他的子民，就必因他的大名不撇弃你们。
For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.
12:23 至于我，断不停止为你们祷告，以致得罪耶和华。我必以善道正路指教你们。
Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
12:24 只要你们敬畏耶和华，诚诚实实地尽心事奉他，想念他向你们所行的事何等大。
Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
12:25 你们若仍然作恶，你们和你们的王必一同灭亡。
But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.
旧约 -- 撒母耳记上(1 Samuel) -- 第 13 章 ( 本篇共有 31 章 )
13:1 扫罗登基年四十岁。作以色列王二年的时候，
Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel
13:2 就从以色列中拣选了三千人，二千跟随扫罗在密抹和伯特利山，一千跟随约拿单在便雅悯的基比亚。其馀的人扫罗都打发各回各家去了。
Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel ; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Bethel
13:3 约拿单攻击迦巴，非利士人的防营，非利士人听见了。扫罗就在遍地吹角，意思说，要使希伯来人听见。
And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
13:4 以色列众人听见扫罗攻击非利士人的防营，又听见以色列人为非利士人所憎恶，就跟随扫罗聚集在吉甲。
And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel
13:5 非利士人聚集，要与以色列人争战，有车三万辆，马兵六千，步兵像海边的沙那样多，就上来在伯亚文东边的密抹安营。
And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel
13:6 以色列百姓见自己危急窘迫，就藏在山洞，丛林，石穴，隐密处，和坑中。
When the men of Israel
13:7 有些希伯来人过了约旦河，逃到迦得和基列地。扫罗还是在吉甲，百姓都战战兢兢地跟随他。
And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead . As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
13:8 扫罗照着撒母耳所定的日期等了七日。撒母耳还没有来到吉甲，百姓也离开扫罗散去了。
And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
13:9 扫罗说，把燔祭和平安祭带到我这里来。扫罗就献上燔祭。
And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.
13:10 刚献完燔祭，撒母耳就到了。扫罗出去迎接他，要问他好。
And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
13:11 撒母耳说，你作的是什么事呢。扫罗说，因为我见百姓离开我散去，你也不照所定的日期来到，而且非利士人聚集在密抹。
And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash;
13:12 所以我心里说，恐怕我没有祷告耶和华。非利士人下到吉甲攻击我，我就勉强献上燔祭。
Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.
13:13 撒母耳对扫罗说，你作了糊涂事了，没有遵守耶和华你神所吩咐你的命令。若遵守，耶和华必在以色列中坚立你的王位，直到永远。
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel
13:14 现在你的王位必不长久。耶和华已经寻着一个合他心意的人，立他作百姓的君，因为你没有遵守耶和华所吩咐你的。
But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.
13:15 撒母耳就起来，从吉甲上到便雅悯的基比亚。扫罗数点跟随他的，约有六百人。
And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
13:16 扫罗和他儿子约拿单，并跟随他们的人，都住在便雅悯的迦巴。但非利士人安营在密抹。
And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
13:17 有掠兵从非利士营中出来，分为三队，一队往俄弗拉向书亚地去，
And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual
13:18 一队往伯和仑去，一队往洗波音谷对面的地境向旷野去。
And another company turned the way to Bethhoron: and another company turned to the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim
13:19 那时，以色列全地没有一个铁匠。因为非利士人说，恐怕希伯来人制造刀枪。
Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel
13:20 以色列人要磨锄，犁，斧，铲，就下到非利士人那里去磨。
But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
13:21 但有锉可以锉铲，犁，三齿叉，斧子，并赶牛锥。
Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads.
13:22 所以到了争战的日子，跟随扫罗和约拿单的人没有一个手里有刀有枪的，惟独扫罗和他儿子约拿单有。
So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
13:23 非利士人的一队防兵到了密抹的隘口。
And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.
旧约 -- 撒母耳记上(1 Samuel) -- 第 14 章 ( 本篇共有 31 章 )
14:1 有一日，扫罗的儿子约拿单对拿他兵器的少年人说，我们不如过到那边，到非利士人的防营那里去。但他没有告诉父亲。
Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not his father.
14:2 扫罗在基比亚的尽边，坐在米矶仑的石榴树下，跟随他的约有六百人。
And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;
14:3 在那里有亚希突的儿子亚希亚，穿着以弗得。亚希突是以迦博的哥哥，非尼哈的儿子，以利的孙子。以利从前在示罗作耶和华的祭司。约拿单去了，百姓却不知道。
And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD's priest in Shiloh , wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.
14:4 约拿单要从隘口过到非利士防营那里去。这隘口两边各有一个山峰，一名播薛，一名西尼。
And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
14:5 一峰向北，与密抹相对，一峰向南，与迦巴相对。
The forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.
14:6 约拿单对拿兵器的少年人说，我们不如过到未受割礼人的防营那里去，或者耶和华为我们施展能力。因为耶和华使人得胜，不在乎人多人少。
And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.
14:7 拿兵器的对他说，随你的心意行吧。你可以上去，我必跟随你，与你同心。
And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.
14:8 约拿单说，我们要过到那些人那里去，使他们看见我们。
Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them.
14:9 他们若对我们说，你们站住，等我们到你们那里去，我们就站住，不上他们那里去。
If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them.
14:10 他们若说，你们上到我们这里来，这话就是我们的证据。我们便上去，因为耶和华将他们交在我们手里了。
But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign unto us.
14:11 二人就使非利士的防兵看见。非利士人说，希伯来人从所藏的洞穴里出来了。
And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.
14:12 防兵对约拿单和拿兵器的人说，你们上到这里来，我们有一件事指示你们。约拿单就对拿兵器的人说，你跟随我上去，因为耶和华将他们交在以色列人手里了。
And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel
14:13 约拿单就爬上去，拿兵器的人跟随他。约拿单杀倒非利士人，拿兵器的人也随着杀他们。
And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him.
14:14 约拿单和拿兵器的人起头所杀的约有二十人，都在一亩地的半犁沟之内。
And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow.
14:15 于是在营中，在田野，在众民内都有战兢，防兵和掠兵也都战兢，地也震动，战兢之势甚大。
And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.
14:16 在便雅悯的基比亚，扫罗的守望兵看见非利士的军众溃散，四围乱窜。
And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another.
14:17 扫罗就对跟随他的民说，你们查点查点，看从我们这里出去的是谁。他们一查点，就知道约拿单和拿兵器的人没有在这里。
Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.
14:18 那时神的约柜在以色列人那里。扫罗对亚希亚说，你将神的约柜运了来。
And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel
14:19 扫罗正与祭司说话的时候，非利士营中的喧囔越发大了。扫罗就对祭司说，停手吧。
And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand.
14:20 扫罗和跟随他的人都聚集，来到战场，看见非利士人用刀互相击杀，大大惶乱。
And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.
14:21 从前由四方来跟随非利士军的希伯来人现在也转过来，帮助跟随扫罗和约拿单的以色列人了。
Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, which went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.
14:22 那藏在以法莲山地的以色列人听说非利士人逃跑，就出来紧紧地追杀他们。
Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
14:23 那日，耶和华使以色列人得胜，一直战到伯亚文。
So the LORD saved Israel
14:24 扫罗叫百姓起誓说，凡不等到晚上向敌人报完了仇吃什么的，必受咒诅。因此这日百姓没有吃什么，就极其困惫。
And the men of Israel
14:25 众民进入树林，见有蜜在地上。
And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.
14:26 他们进了树林，见有蜜流下来，却没友人敢用手取蜜入口，因为他们怕那誓言。
And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.
14:27 约拿单没有听见他父亲叫百姓起誓，所以伸手中的杖，用杖头蘸在蜂房里，转手送入口内，眼睛就明亮了。
But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.
14:28 百姓中有一人对他说，你父亲曾叫百姓严严地起誓说，今日吃什么的，必受咒诅。因此百姓就疲乏了。
Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint.
14:29 约拿单说，我父亲连累你们了。你看，我尝了这一点蜜，眼睛就明亮了。
Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
14:30 今日百姓若任意吃了从仇敌所夺的物，击杀的非利士人岂不更多吗。
How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?
14:31 这日，以色列人击杀非利士人，从密抹直到亚雅仑。百姓甚是疲乏，
And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint.
14:32 就急忙将所夺的牛羊和牛犊宰于地上，肉还带血就吃了。
And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.
14:33 有人告诉扫罗说，百姓吃带血的肉，得罪耶和华了。扫罗说，你们有过犯了，今日要将大石头滚到我这里来。
Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.
14:34 扫罗又说，你们散在百姓中，对他们说，你们各人将牛羊牵到我这里来宰了吃，不可吃带血的肉得罪耶和华。这夜，百姓就把牛羊牵到那里宰了。
And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.
14:35 扫罗为耶和华筑了一座坛，这是他初次为耶和华筑的坛。
And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD.
14:36 扫罗说，我们不如夜里下去追赶非利士人，抢掠他们，直到天亮，不留他们一人。众民说，你看怎样好就去行吧。祭司说，我们先当亲近神。
And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.
14:37 扫罗求问神说，我下去追赶非利士人可以不可以。你将他们交在以色列人手里不交。这日神没有回答他。
And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel
14:38 扫罗说，你们百姓中的长老都上这里来，查明今日是谁出了偏差。
And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.
14:39 我指着救以色列永生的耶和华起誓，虽然是我儿子约拿单，他也必死。但百姓中无一人回答他。
For, as the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel
14:40 扫罗就对以色列众人说，你们站在一边，我与我儿子约拿单也站在一边。百姓对扫罗说，你看怎样好就去行吧。
Then said he unto all Israel
14:41 扫罗祷告耶和华以色列的神说，求你指示实情。于是掣签掣出扫罗和约拿单来。百姓尽都无事。
Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel
14:42 扫罗说，你们再掣签，看是我，是我儿子约拿单，就掣出约拿单来。
And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
14:43 扫罗对约拿单说，你告诉我，你作了什么事。约拿单说，我实在以手里的杖，用杖头蘸了一点蜜尝了一尝。这样我就死吗（吗或作吧）。
Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand, and, lo, I must die.
14:44 扫罗说，约拿单哪，你定要死。若不然，愿神重重地降罚与我。
And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.
14:45 百姓对扫罗说，约拿单在以色列人中这样大行拯救，岂可使他死呢。断乎不可。我们指着永生的耶和华起誓，连他的一根头发也不可落地，因为他今日与神一同作事。于是百姓救约拿单免了死亡。
And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel
14:46 扫罗回去，不追赶非利士人。非利士人也回本地去了。
Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.
14:47 扫罗执掌以色列的国权，常常攻击他四围的一切仇敌，就是摩押人，亚扪人，以东人，和琐巴诸王，并非利士人。他无论往何处去，都打败仇敌。
So Saul took the kingdom over Israel , and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab , and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom
14:48 扫罗奋勇攻击亚玛力人，救了以色列人脱离抢掠他们之人的手。
And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel
14:49 扫罗的儿子是约拿单，亦施韦，麦基舒亚。他的两个女儿，长女名米拉，次女名米甲。
Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchishua: and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:
14:50 扫罗的妻名叫亚希暖，是亚希玛斯的女儿。扫罗的元帅名叫押尼珥，是尼珥的儿子。尼珥是扫罗的叔叔。
And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
14:51 扫罗的父亲基士，押尼珥的父亲尼珥，都是亚别的儿子。
And Kish
14:52 扫罗平生常与非利士人大大争战。扫罗遇见有能力的人或勇士，都招募了来跟随他。
And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him.
旧约 -- 撒母耳记上(1 Samuel) -- 第 15 章 ( 本篇共有 31 章 )
15:1 撒母耳对扫罗说，耶和华差遣我膏你为王，治理他的百姓以色列。所以你当听从耶和华的话。
Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel
15:2 万军之耶和华如此说，以色列人出埃及的时候，在路上亚玛力人怎样待他们，怎样抵挡他们，我都没忘。
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel , how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt
15:3 现在你要去击打亚玛力人，灭尽他们所有的，不可怜惜他们，将男女，孩童，吃奶的，并牛，羊，骆驼，和驴尽行杀死。
Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
15:4 于是扫罗招聚百姓在提拉因，数点他们，共有步兵二十万，另有犹大人一万。
And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah
15:5 扫罗到了亚玛力的京城，在谷中设下埋伏。
And Saul came to a city of Amalek
15:6 扫罗对基尼人说，你们离开亚玛力人下去吧，恐怕我将你们和亚玛力人一同杀灭。因为以色列人出埃及的时候，你们曾恩待他们。于是基尼人离开亚玛力人去了。
And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel , when they came up out of Egypt
15:7 扫罗击打亚玛力人，从哈腓拉直到埃及前的书珥，
And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt
15:8 生擒了亚玛力王亚甲，用刀杀尽亚玛力的众民。
And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
15:9 扫罗和百姓却怜惜亚甲，也爱惜上好的牛，羊，牛犊，羊羔，并一切美物，不肯灭绝。凡下贱瘦弱的，尽都杀了。
But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
15:10 耶和华的话临到撒母耳说，
Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,
15:11 我立扫罗为王，我后悔了。因为他转去不跟从我，不遵守我的命令。撒母耳便甚忧愁，终夜哀求耶和华。
It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.
15:12 撒母耳清早起来，迎接扫罗。有人告诉撒母耳说，扫罗到了迦密，在那里立了纪念碑，又转身下到吉甲。
And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
15:13 撒母耳到了扫罗那里，扫罗对他说，愿耶和华赐福与你，耶和华的命令我已遵守了。
And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.
15:14 撒母耳说，我耳中听见有羊叫，牛呜，是从哪里来的呢。
And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
15:15 扫罗说，这是百姓从亚玛力人那里带来的。因为他们爱惜上好的牛羊，要献与耶和华你的神。其馀的，我们都灭尽了。
And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
15:16 撒母耳对扫罗说，你住口吧。等我将耶和华昨夜向我所说的话告诉你。扫罗说，请讲。
Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.
15:17 撒母耳对扫罗说，从前你虽然以自己为小，岂不是被立为以色列支派的元首吗。耶和华膏你作以色列的王。
And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel , and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel
15:18 耶和华差遣你，吩咐你说，你去击打那些有偏差的亚玛力人，将他们灭绝净尽。
And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
15:19 你为何没有听从耶和华的命令，急忙掳掠财物，行耶和华眼中看为恶的事呢。
Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?
15:20 扫罗对撒母耳说，我实在听从了耶和华的命令，行了耶和华所差遣我行的路，擒了亚玛力王亚甲来，灭尽了亚玛力人。
And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
15:21 百姓却在所当灭的物中取了最好的牛羊，要在吉甲献与耶和华你的神。
But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal.
15:22 撒母耳说，耶和华喜悦燔祭和平安祭，岂如喜悦人听从他的话呢。听命胜于献祭。顺从胜于公羊的脂油。
And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
15:23 悖逆的偏差与行邪术的偏差相等。顽梗的罪孽与拜虚神和偶像的罪孽相同。你既厌弃耶和华的命令，耶和华也厌弃你作王。
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
15:24 扫罗对撒母耳说，我有偏差了，我因惧怕百姓，听从他们的话，就违背了耶和华的命令和你的言语。
And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
15:25 现在求你宽恕我的偏差，同我回去，我好敬拜耶和华。
Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.
15:26 撒母耳对扫罗说，我不同你回去。因为你厌弃耶和华的命令，耶和华也厌弃你作以色列的王。
And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel
15:27 撒母耳转身要走，扫罗就扯住他外袍的衣襟，衣襟就撕断了。
And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
15:28 撒母耳对他说，如此，今日耶和华使以色列国与你断绝，将这国赐与比你更好的人。
And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel
15:29 以色列的大能者必不致说谎，也不致后悔。因为他迥非世人，决不后悔。
And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.
15:30 扫罗说，我有偏差了，虽然如此，求你在我百姓的长老和以色列人面前抬举我，同我回去，我好敬拜耶和华你的神。
Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel
15:31 于是撒母耳转身跟随扫罗回去，扫罗就敬拜耶和华。
So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.
15:32 撒母耳说，要把亚玛力王亚甲带到我这里来。亚甲就欢欢喜喜地来到他面前，心里说，死亡的苦难必定过去了。
Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
15:33 撒母耳说，你既用刀使妇人丧子，这样，你母亲在妇人中也必丧子。于是，撒母耳在吉甲耶和华面前将亚甲杀死。
And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
15:34 撒母耳回了拉玛。扫罗上他所住的基比亚，回自己的家去了。
Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
15:35 撒母耳直到死的日子，再没有见扫罗。但撒母耳为扫罗悲伤，是因耶和华后悔立他为以色列的王。
And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel
