掃羅死後，大衛擊殺亞瑪力人回來，在洗革拉住了兩天。
|
|
|
|
Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned# from the slaughter# of the Amalekites, and David had abode# two days in Ziklag;
|
|
|
2
|
第三天，有一人從掃羅的營裏出來，衣服撕裂，頭蒙灰塵，到大衛面前伏地叩拜。
|
|
|
|
It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came# out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent# , and earth upon his head: and
so it was, when he came# to David, that he fell# to the earth, and did obeisance# .
|
|
|
3
|
大衛問他說：你從哪裏來？他說：我從以色列的營裏逃來。
|
|
|
|
And David said# unto him, From whence comest# thou? And he said# unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped# .
|
|
|
4
|
大衛又問他說：事情怎樣？請你告訴我。他回答說：百姓從陣上逃跑，也有許多人仆倒死亡；掃羅和他兒子約拿單也死了。
|
|
|
|
And David said# unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell# me. And he answered# , That the people are fled# from the battle, and many# of the people also are fallen# and dead# ; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead# also.
[How...: Heb. What was, etc]
|
|
|
5
|
大衛問報信的少年人說：你怎麼知道掃羅和他兒子約拿單死了呢？
|
|
|
|
And David said# unto the young man that told# him, How knowest# thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead# ?
|
|
|
6
|
報信的少年人說：我偶然到基利波山，看見掃羅伏在自己槍上，有戰車、馬兵緊緊地追他。
|
|
|
|
And the young man that told# him said# , As I happened# by chance# upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned# upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen# followed hard# after him.
|
|
|
7
|
他回頭看見我，就呼叫我。我說：我在這裏。
|
|
|
|
And when he looked# behind him, he saw# me, and called# unto me. And I answered# , Here
am I.
[Here...: Heb. Behold me]
|
|
|
8
|
他問我說：你是甚麼人？我說：我是亞瑪力人。
|
|
|
|
And he said# unto me, Who
art thou? And I answered# him, I
am an Amalekite.
|
|
|
9
|
他說：請你來，將我殺死；因為痛苦抓住我，我的生命尚存。
|
|
|
|
He said# unto me again, Stand# , I pray thee, upon me, and slay# me: for anguish is come# upon me, because my life
is yet whole in me.
[anguish...: or, my coat of mail (or, my embroidered coat) hindereth me, that my, etc]
|
|
|
10
|
我準知他仆倒必不能活，就去將他殺死，把他頭上的冠冕、臂上的鐲子拿到我主這裏。
|
|
|
|
So I stood# upon him, and slew# him, because I was sure# that he could not live# after that he was fallen# : and I took# the crown that
was upon his head, and the bracelet that
was on his arm, and have brought# them hither unto my lord.
|
|
|
11
|
大衛就撕裂衣服，跟隨他的人也是如此，
|
|
|
|
Then David took hold# on his clothes, and rent# them; and likewise all the men that
were with him:
|
|
|
12
|
而且悲哀哭號，禁食到晚上，是因掃羅和他兒子約拿單，並耶和華的民以色列家的人，倒在刀下。
|
|
|
|
And they mourned# , and wept# , and fasted# until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen# by the sword.
|
|
|
13
|
大衛問報信的少年人說：你是哪裏的人？他說：我是亞瑪力客人的兒子。
|
|
|
|
And David said# unto the young man that told# him, Whence
art thou? And he answered# , I
am the son of a stranger# , an Amalekite.
|
|
|
14
|
大衛說：你伸手殺害耶和華的受膏者，怎麼不畏懼呢？
|
|
|
|
And David said# unto him, How wast thou not afraid# to stretch forth# thine hand to destroy# the LORD'S anointed?
|
|
|
15
|
大衛叫了一個少年人來，說：你去殺他吧！
|
|
|
|
And David called# one of the young men, and said# , Go near# ,
and fall# upon him. And he smote# him that he died# .
|
|
|
16
|
大衛對他說：你流人血的罪歸到自己的頭上，因為你親口作見證說：我殺了耶和華的受膏者。少年人就把他殺了。
|
|
|
|
And David said# unto him, Thy blood
be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified# against thee, saying# , I have slain# the LORD'S anointed.
|
|
|
17
|
大衛作哀歌，弔掃羅和他兒子約拿單，
|
|
|
|
And David lamented# with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
|
|
|
18
|
且吩咐將這歌教導猶大人。這歌名叫弓歌，寫在雅煞珥書上。
|
|
|
|
(Also he bade# them teach# the children of Judah
the use of the bow: behold,
it is written# in the book of Jasher.)
[of Jasher: or, of the upright]
|
|
|
19
|
歌中說：以色列啊，你尊榮者在山上被殺！大英雄何竟死亡！
|
|
|
|
The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen# !
|
|
|
20
|
不要在迦特報告；不要在亞實基倫街上傳揚；免得非利士的女子歡樂；免得未受割禮之人的女子矜誇。
|
|
|
|
Tell#
it not in Gath, publish#
it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice# , lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph# .
|
|
|
21
|
基利波山哪，願你那裏沒有雨露！願你田地無土產可作供物！因為英雄的盾牌在那裏被污丟棄；掃羅的盾牌彷彿未曾抹油。
|
|
|
|
Ye mountains of Gilboa,
let there be no dew, neither
let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away# , the shield of Saul,
as though he had not
been anointed with oil.
|
|
|
22
|
約拿單的弓箭非流敵人的血不退縮；掃羅的刀劍非剖勇士的油不收回。
|
|
|
|
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned# not back, and the sword of Saul returned# not empty.
|
|
|
23
|
掃羅和約拿單─活時相悅相愛，死時也不分離─他們比鷹更快，比獅子還強。
|
|
|
|
Saul and Jonathan
were lovely# and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided# : they were swifter# than eagles, they were stronger# than lions.
[pleasant: or, sweet]
|
|
|
24
|
以色列的女子啊，當為掃羅哭號！他曾使你們穿朱紅色的美衣，使你們衣服有黃金的妝飾。
|
|
|
|
Ye daughters of Israel, weep over# Saul, who clothed# you in scarlet, with
other delights, who put# on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
|
|
|
25
|
英雄何竟在陣上仆倒！約拿單何竟在山上被殺！
|
|
|
|
How are the mighty fallen# in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan,
thou wast slain in thine high places.
|
|
|
26
|
我兄約拿單哪，我為你悲傷！我甚喜悅你！你向我發的愛情奇妙非常，過於婦女的愛情。
|
|
|
|
I am distressed# for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant# hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful# , passing the love of women.
|
|
|
27
|
英雄何竟仆倒！戰具何竟滅沒！
|
|
|
|
How are the mighty fallen# , and the weapons of war perished# !
|
