旧约 -- 撒母耳记上(1 Samuel) -- 第 21 章 ( 本篇共有 31 章 )
21:1 大卫到了挪伯祭司亚希米勒那里,亚希米勒战战兢兢地出来迎接他,问他说,你为什么独自来,没有人跟随呢。
Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
21:2 大卫回答祭司亚希米勒说,王吩咐我一件事说,我差遣你委托你的这件事,不要使人知道。故此我已派定少年人在某处等候我。
And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.
21:3 现在你手下有什么。求你给我五个饼或是别样的食物。
Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.
21:4 祭司对大卫说,我手下没有寻常的饼,只有圣饼。若少年人没有亲近妇人才可以给。
And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.
21:5 大卫对祭司说,实在约有三日我们没有亲近妇人。我出来的时候,虽是寻常行路,少年人的器皿还是洁净的。何况今日不更是洁净吗。
And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.
21:6 祭司就拿圣饼给他。因为在那里没有别样饼,只有更换新饼,从耶和华面前撤下来的陈设饼。
So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
21:7 当日有扫罗的一个臣子留在耶和华面前。他名叫多益,是以东人,作扫罗的司牧长。
Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul.
21:8 大卫问亚希米勒说,你手下有枪有刀没有。因为王的事甚急,连刀剑器械我都没有带。
And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.
21:9 祭司说,你在以拉谷杀非利士人歌利亚的那刀在这里,裹在布中,放在以弗得后边,你要就可以拿去。除此以外,再没有别的。大卫说,这刀没有可比的。求你给我。
And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah , behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.
21:10 那日大卫起来,躲避扫罗,逃到迦特王亚吉那里。
And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath .
21:11 亚吉的臣仆对亚吉说,这不是以色列国王大卫吗。那里的妇女跳舞唱和,不是指着他说扫罗杀死千千,大卫杀死万万吗。
And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
21:12 大卫将这话放在心里,甚惧怕迦特王亚吉,
And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath .
21:13 就在众人面前改变了寻常的举动,在他们手下假装疯癫,在城门的门扇上胡写乱画,使唾沫流在胡子上。
And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.
21:14 亚吉对臣仆说,你们看,这人是疯子。为什么带他到我这里来呢。
Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me?
21:15 我岂缺少疯子,你们带这人来在我面前疯癫吗。这人岂可进我的家呢。
Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?
旧约 -- 撒母耳记上(1 Samuel) -- 第 22 章 ( 本篇共有 31 章 )
22:1 大卫就离开那里,逃到亚杜兰洞。他的弟兄和他父亲的全家听见了,就都下到他那里。
David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.
22:2 凡受窘迫的,欠债的,心里苦恼的都聚集到大卫那里。大卫就作他们的头目,跟随他的约有四百人。
And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
22:3 大卫从那里往摩押的米斯巴去,对摩押王说,求你容我父母搬来,住在你们这里,等我知道神要为我怎样行。
And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.
22:4 大卫领他父母到摩押王面前。大卫住山寨多少日子,他父母也住摩押王那里多少日子。
And he brought them before the king of Moab : and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.
22:5 先知迦得对大卫说,你不要住在山寨,要往犹大地去。大卫就离开那里,进入哈列的树林。
And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah . Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth .
22:6 扫罗在基比亚的拉玛,坐在垂丝柳树下,手里拿着枪,众臣仆侍立在左右。扫罗听见大卫和跟随他的人在何处,
When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him;)
22:7 就对左右侍立的臣仆说,便雅悯人哪,你们要听我的话。耶西的儿子能将田地和葡萄园赐给你们各人吗。能立你们各人作千夫长百夫长吗。
Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds;
22:8 你们竟都结党害我。我的儿子与耶西的儿子结盟的时候,无人告诉我。我的儿子挑唆我的臣子谋害我,就如今日的光景,也无人告诉我,为我忧虑。
That all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that sheweth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or sheweth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
22:9 那时以东人多益站在扫罗的臣仆中,对他说,我曾看见耶西的儿子到了挪伯,亚希突的儿子亚希米勒那里。
Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
22:10 亚希米勒为他求问耶和华,又给他食物,并给他杀非利士人歌利亚的刀。
And he enquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
22:11 王就打发人将祭司亚希突的儿子亚希米勒和他父亲的全家,就是住挪伯的祭司都召了来。他们就来见王。
Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
22:12 扫罗说,亚希突的儿子,要听我的话。他回答说,主阿,我在这里。
And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.
22:13 扫罗对他说,你为什么与耶西的儿子结党害我,将食物和刀给他,又为他求问神,使他起来谋害我,就如今日的光景。
And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast enquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
22:14 亚希米勒回答王说,王的臣仆中有谁比大卫忠心呢。他是王的女婿,又是王的叁谋,并且在王家中是尊贵的。
Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king's son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thine house?
22:15 我岂是从今日才为他求问神呢。断不是这样。王不要将罪归我和我父的全家。因为这事,无论大小,仆人都不知道。
Did I then begin to enquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.
22:16 王说,亚希米勒阿,你和你父的全家都是该死的。
And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.
22:17 王就吩咐左右的侍卫说,你们去杀耶和华的祭司。因为他们帮助大卫,又知道大卫逃跑,竟没有告诉我。扫罗的臣子却不肯伸手杀耶和华的祭司。
And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD: because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not shew it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.
22:18 王吩咐多益说,你去杀祭司吧。以东人多益就去杀祭司,那日杀了穿细麻布以弗得的八十五人。
And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.
22:19 又用刀将祭司城挪伯中的男女,孩童,吃奶的,和牛,羊,驴尽都杀灭。
And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
22:20 亚希突的儿子亚希米勒有一个儿子,名叫亚比亚他,逃到大卫那里。
And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
22:21 亚比亚他将扫罗杀耶和华祭司的事告诉大卫。
And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain the LORD's priests.
22:22 大卫对亚比亚他说,那日我见以东人多益在那里,就知道他必告诉扫罗。你父的全家丧命,都是因我的缘故。
And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father's house.
22:23 你可以住在我这里,不要惧怕。因为寻索你命的就是寻索我的命。你在我这里可得保全。
Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.
旧约 -- 撒母耳记上(1 Samuel) -- 第 23 章 ( 本篇共有 31 章 )
23:1 有人告诉大卫说,非利士人攻击基伊拉,抢夺禾场。
Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshingfloors.
23:2 所以大卫求问耶和华说,我去攻打那些非利士人可以不可以。耶和华对大卫说,你可以去攻打非利士人,拯救基伊拉。
Therefore David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the LORD said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.
23:3 跟随大卫的人对他说,我们在犹大地这里尚且惧怕,何况往基伊拉去攻打非利士人的军旅呢。
And David's men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah : how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?
23:4 大卫又求问耶和华。耶和华回答说,你起身下基伊拉去,我必将非利士人交在你手里。
Then David enquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine hand.
23:5 大卫和跟随他的人往基伊拉去,与非利士人打仗,大大杀败他们,又夺获他们的牲畜。这样,大卫救了基伊拉的居民。
So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
23:6 亚希米勒的儿子亚比亚他逃到基伊拉见大卫的时候,手里拿着以弗得。
And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.
23:7 有人告诉扫罗说,大卫到了基伊拉。扫罗说,他进了有门有闩的城,困闭在里头。这是神将他交在我手里了。
And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.
23:8 于是扫罗招聚众民,要下去攻打基伊拉城,围困大卫和跟随他的人。
And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
23:9 大卫知道扫罗设计谋害他,就对祭司亚比亚他说,将以弗得拿过来。
And David knew that Saul secretly practised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.
23:10 大卫祷告说,耶和华以色列的神阿,你仆人听真了扫罗要往基伊拉来,为我的缘故灭城。
Then said David, O LORD God of Israel , thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
23:11 基伊拉人将我交在扫罗手里不交。扫罗照着你仆人所听的话下来不下来。耶和华以色列的神阿,求你指示仆人。耶和华说,扫罗必下来。
Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD God of Israel , I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the LORD said, He will come down.
23:12 大卫又说,基伊拉人将我和跟随我的人交在扫罗手里不交。耶和华说,必交出来。
Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will deliver thee up.
23:13 大卫和跟随他的约有六百人,就起身出了基伊拉,往他们所能往的地方去。有人告诉扫罗,大卫离开基伊拉逃走。于是扫罗不出来了。
Then David and his men, which were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth.
23:14 大卫住在旷野的山寨里,常在西弗旷野的山地。扫罗天天寻索大卫,神却不将大卫交在他手里。
And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.
23:15 大卫知道扫罗出来寻索他的命。那时,他住在西弗旷野的树林里。
And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.
23:16 扫罗的儿子约拿单起身,往那树林里去见大卫,使他倚靠神得以坚固,
And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.
23:17 对他说,不要惧怕。我父扫罗的手必不加害于你。你必作以色列的王,我也作你的宰相。这事我父扫罗知道了。
And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel , and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.
23:18 于是二人在耶和华面前立约。大卫仍住在树林里,约拿单回家去了。
And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.
23:19 西弗人上到基比亚见扫罗,说,大卫不是在我们那里的树林里山寨中,旷野南边的哈基拉山藏着吗。
Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?
23:20 王阿,请你随你的心愿下来,我们必亲自将他交在王的手里。
Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king's hand.
23:21 扫罗说,愿耶和华赐福与你们,因你们顾恤我。
And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the LORD; for ye have compassion on me.
23:22 请你们回去,再确实查明他的住处和行踪,是谁看见他在那里,因为我听见人说他甚狡猾。
Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who hath seen him there: for it is told me that he dealeth very subtilly.
23:23 所以要看准他藏匿的地方,回来据实地告诉我,我就与你们同去。他若在犹大的境内,我必从千门万户中搜出他来。
See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.
23:24 西弗人就起身,在扫罗以先往西弗去。大卫和跟随他的人却在玛云旷野南边的亚拉巴。
And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.
23:25 扫罗和跟随他的人去寻梢大卫。有人告诉大卫,他就下到磐石,住在玛云的旷野。扫罗听见,便在玛云的旷野追赶大卫。
Saul also and his men went to seek him. And they told David: wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
23:26 扫罗在山这边走,大卫和跟随他的人在山那边走。大卫急忙躲避扫罗。因为扫罗和跟随他的人,四面围住大卫和跟随他的人,要拿获他们。
And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them.
23:27 忽有使者来报告扫罗说,非利士人犯境抢掠,请王快快回去。
But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.
23:28 于是扫罗不追赶大卫,回去攻打非利士人。因此那地方名叫西拉哈玛希罗结。
Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth.
23:29 大卫从那里上去,住在隐基底的山寨里。
And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi.
旧约 -- 撒母耳记上(1 Samuel) -- 第 24 章 ( 本篇共有 31 章 )
24:1 扫罗追赶非利士人回来,有人告诉他说,大卫在隐基底的旷野。
And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.
24:2 扫罗就从以色列人中挑选三千精兵,率领他们往野羊的磐石去,寻索大卫和跟随他的人。
Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel , and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.
24:3 到了路旁的羊圈,在那里有洞,扫罗进去大解。大卫和跟随他的人正藏在洞里的深处。
And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.
24:4 跟随的人对大卫说,耶和华曾应许你说,我要将你的仇敌交在你手里,你可以任意待他。如今时候到了。大卫就起来,悄悄地割下扫罗外袍的衣襟。
And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.
24:5 随后大卫心中自责,因为割下扫罗的衣襟。
And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.
24:6 对跟随他的人说,我的主乃是耶和华的受膏者,我在耶和华面前万不敢伸手害他,因他是耶和华的受膏者。
And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.
24:7 大卫用这话拦住跟随他的人,不容他们起来害扫罗。扫罗起来,从洞里出去行路。
So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
24:8 随后大卫也起来,从洞里出去,呼叫扫罗说,我主,我王。扫罗回头观看,大卫就屈身,脸伏于地下拜。
David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.
24:9 大卫对扫罗说,你为何听信人的谗言,说大卫想要害你呢。
And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?
24:10 今日你亲眼看见在洞中,耶和华将你交在我手里。有人叫我杀你,我却爱惜你,说,我不敢伸手害我的主,因为他是耶和华的受膏者。
Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the LORD's anointed.
24:11 我父阿,看看你外袍的衣襟在我手中。我割下你的衣襟,没有杀你。你由此可以知道我没有恶意叛逆你。你虽然猎取我的命,我却没有得罪你。
Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.
24:12 愿耶和华在你我中间判断是非,在你身上为我伸冤,我却不亲手加害于你。
The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
24:13 古人有句俗语说,恶事出于恶人。我却不亲手加害于你。
As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
24:14 以色列王出来要寻梢谁呢。追赶谁呢。不过追赶一条死狗,一个虼蚤就是了。
After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.
24:15 愿耶和华在你我中间施行审判,断定是非,并且鉴察,为我伸冤,救我脱离你的手。
The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand.
24:16 大卫向扫罗说完这话,扫罗说,我儿大卫,这是你的声音吗。就放声大哭,
And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
24:17 对大卫说,你比我公义。因为你以善待我,我却以恶待你。
And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.
24:18 你今日显明是以善待我。因为耶和华将我交在你手里,你却没有杀我。
And thou hast shewed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst me not.
24:19 人若遇见仇敌,岂肯放他平安无事地去呢。愿耶和华因你今日向我所行的,以善报你。
For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me this day.
24:20 我也知道你必要作王,以色列的国必坚立在你手里。
And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand.
24:21 现在你要指着耶和华向我起誓,不剪除我的后裔,在我父家不灭没我的名。
Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house.
24:22 于是大卫向扫罗起誓,扫罗就回家去。大卫和跟随他的人上山寨去了。
And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men gat them up unto the hold.
旧约 -- 撒母耳记上(1 Samuel) -- 第 25 章 ( 本篇共有 31 章 )
25:1 撒母耳死了,以色列众人聚集,为他哀哭,将他葬在拉玛他自己的坟墓(原文作房屋)里。大卫起身,下到巴兰的旷野。
And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
25:2 在玛云有一个人,他的产业在迦密,是一个大富户,有三千绵羊,一千山羊。他正在迦密剪羊毛。
And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel ; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel .
25:3 那人名叫拿八,是迦勒族的人。他的妻名叫亚比该,是聪明俊美的妇人。拿八为人刚愎凶恶。
Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.
25:4 大卫在旷野听见说拿八剪羊毛,
And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.
25:5 大卫就打发十个仆人,吩咐他们说,你们上迦密去见拿八,提我的名问他安。
And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel , and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:
25:6 要对那富户如此说,愿你平安,愿你家平安,愿你一切所有的都平安。
And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.
25:7 现在我听说有人为你剪羊毛,你的牧人在迦密的时候和我们在一处,我们没有欺负他们,他们也未曾失落什么。
And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel .
25:8 可以问你的仆人,他们必告诉你。所以愿我的仆人在你眼前蒙恩,因为是在好日子来的。求你随手取点赐与仆人和你儿子大卫。
Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.
25:9 大卫的仆人到了,将这话提大卫的名都告诉了拿八,就住了口。
And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
25:10 拿八回答大卫的仆人说,大卫是谁。耶西的儿子是谁。近来悖逆主人奔逃的仆人甚多,
And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.
25:11 我岂可将饮食和为我剪羊毛人所宰的肉给我不知道从哪里来的人呢。
Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?
25:12 大卫的仆人就转身从原路回去,照这话告诉大卫。
So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.
25:13 大卫向跟随他的人说,你们各人都要带上刀。众人就都带上刀,大卫也带上刀。跟随大卫上去的约有四百人,留下二百人看守器具。
And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.
25:14 有拿八的一个仆人告诉拿八的妻亚比该说,大卫从旷野打发使者来问我主人的安,主人却辱骂他们。
But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.
25:15 但是那些人待我们甚好。我们在田野与他们来往的时候,没有受他们的欺负,也未曾失落什么。
But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:
25:16 我们在他们那里牧羊的时候,他们昼夜作我们的保障。
They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
25:17 所以你当筹划,看怎样行才好。不然,祸患定要临到我主人和他全家。他性情凶暴,无人敢与他说话。
Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.
25:18 亚比该急忙将二百饼,两皮袋酒,五只收拾好了的羊,五细亚烘好了的穗子,一百葡萄饼,二百无花果饼,都驮在驴上,
Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.
25:19 对仆人说,你们前头走,我随着你们去。这事她却没有告诉丈夫拿八。
And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.
25:20 亚比该骑着驴,正下山坡,见大卫和跟随他的人从对面下来,亚比该就迎接他们。
And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.
25:21 大卫曾说,我在旷野为那人看守所有的,以致他一样不失落,实在是徒然了。他向我以恶报善。
Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good.
25:22 凡属拿八的男丁,我若留一个到明日早晨,愿神重重降罚与我。
So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
25:23 亚比该见大卫,便急忙下驴,在大卫面前脸伏于地叩拜,
And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
25:24 俯伏在大卫的脚前,说,我主阿,愿这罪孽归我。求你容婢女向你进言,更求你听婢女的话。
And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.
25:25 我主不要理这坏人拿八,他的性情与他的名相称。他名叫拿八(就是愚顽的意思),他为人果然愚顽。但我主所打发的仆人,婢女并没有看见。
Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
25:26 我主阿,耶和华既然阻止你亲手报仇,阻止流血,所以我指着永生的耶和华,又敢在你面前起誓说,愿你的仇敌和谋害你的人都像拿八一样。
Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
25:27 如今求你将婢女送来的礼物给跟随你的仆人。
And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.
25:28 求你饶恕婢女的罪过。耶和华必为我主建立坚固的家,因我主为耶和华争战。并且在你平生的日子查不出有什么过来。
I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.
25:29 虽有人起来追逼你,寻索你的性命,你的性命却在耶和华你的神那里蒙保护,如包裹宝器一样。你仇敌的性命,耶和华必抛去,如用机弦甩石一样。
Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.
25:30 *
And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel ;
25:31 我主现在若不亲手报仇流无辜人的血,到了耶和华照所应许你的话赐福与你,立你作以色列的王,那时我主必不至心里不安,觉得良心有亏。耶和华赐福与我主的时候,求你记念婢女
That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.
25:32 大卫对亚比该说,耶和华以色列的神是应当称颂的,因为他今日使你来迎接我。
And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel , which sent thee this day to meet me:
25:33 你和你的见识也当称赞。因为你今日拦阻我亲手报仇,流人的血。
And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
25:34 我指着阻止我加害于你的耶和华以色列永生的神起誓,你若不速速地来迎接我,到明日早晨,凡属拿八的男丁必定不留一个。
For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
25:35 大卫受了亚比该送来的礼物,就对她说,我听了你的话,准了你的情面,你可以平平安安地回家吧。
So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
25:36 亚比该到拿八那里,见他在家里设摆筵席,如同王的筵席。拿八快乐大醉。亚比该无论大小事都没有告诉他,就等到次日早晨。
And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
25:37 到了早晨,拿八醒了酒,他的妻将这些事都告诉他,他就魂不附体,身僵如石头一般。
But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
25:38 过了十天,耶和华击打拿八,他就死了。
And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.
25:39 大卫听见拿八死了,就说,应当称颂耶和华,因他伸了拿八羞辱我的冤,又阻止仆人行恶。也使拿八的恶归到拿八的头上。于是大卫打发人去,与亚比该说,要娶她为妻。
And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.
25:40 大卫的仆人到了迦密见亚比该,对她说,大卫打发我们来见你,想要娶你为妻。
And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel , they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.
25:41 亚比该就起来,俯伏在地,说,我情愿作婢女,洗我主仆人的脚。
And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
25:42 亚比该立刻起身,骑上驴,带着五个使女,跟从大卫的使者去了,就作了大卫的妻。
And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
25:43 大卫先娶了耶斯列人亚希暖,她们二人都作了他的妻。
David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.
25:44 扫罗已将他的女儿米甲,就是大卫的妻,给了迦琳人拉亿的儿子帕提为妻。
But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.
