旧约 -- 撒母耳记下(2 Samuel) -- 第 1 章 ( 本篇共有 24 章 ) 下一章8 目录
1:1扫罗死后,大卫击杀亚玛力人回来,在洗革拉住了两天。
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;
1:2第三天,有一人从扫罗的营里出来,衣服撕裂,头蒙灰尘,到大卫面前伏地叩拜。
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.
1:3大卫问他说,你从哪里来。他说,我从以色列的营里逃来。
And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
1:4大卫又问他说,事情怎样。请你告诉我。他回答说,百姓从阵上逃跑,也有许多人仆倒死亡。扫罗和他儿子约拿单也死了。
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.
1:5大卫问报信的少年人说,你怎吗知道扫罗和他儿子约拿单死了呢。
And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
1:6报信的少年人说,我偶然到基利波山,看见扫罗伏在自己枪上,有战车,马兵紧紧地追他。
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.
1:7他回头看见我,就呼叫我。我说,我在这里。
And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.
1:8他问我说,你是什么人。我说,我是亚玛力人。
And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
1:9他说,请你来,将我杀死。因为痛苦抓住我,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.
1:10我准知他仆倒必不能活,就去将他杀死,把他头上的冠冕,臂上的镯子拿到我主这里。
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.
1:11大卫就撕裂衣服,跟随他的人也是如此,
Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
1:12而且悲哀哭号,禁食到晚上,是因扫罗和他儿子约拿单,并耶和华的民以色列家的人,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.
1:13大卫问报信的少年人说,你是哪里的人。他说,我是亚玛力客人的儿子。
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.
1:14大卫说,你伸手杀害耶和华的受膏者,怎吗不畏惧呢。
And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?
1:15大卫叫了一个少年人来,说,你去杀他吧。
And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
1:16大卫对他说,你流人血的罪归到自己的头上,因为你亲口作见证说,我杀了耶和华的受膏者。少年人就把他杀了。
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.
1:17大卫作哀歌,吊扫罗和他儿子约拿单,
And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
1:18且吩咐将这歌教导犹大人。这歌名叫弓歌,写在雅煞珥书上。
(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
1:19歌中说,以色列阿,你尊荣者在山上被杀。大英雄何竟死亡。
The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
1:20不要在迦特报告。不要在亚实基伦街上传扬。免得非利士的女子欢乐。免得未受割礼之人的女子矜夸。
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.
1:21基利波山哪,愿你那里没有雨露。愿你田地无土产可作供物。因为英雄的盾牌在那里被污丢弃。扫罗的盾牌彷佛未曾抹油。
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.
1:22约拿单的弓箭非流敌人的血不退缩。扫罗的刀剑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.
1:23扫罗和约拿单,活时相悦相爱,死时也不分离。他们比鹰更快,比狮子还强。
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.
1:24以色列的女子阿,当为扫罗哭号。他曾使你们穿朱红色的美衣,使你们衣服有黄金的妆饰。
Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
1:25英雄何竟在阵上仆倒。约拿单何竟在山上被杀。
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places.
1:26我兄约拿单哪,我为你悲伤。我甚喜悦你。你向我发的爱情奇妙非常,过于妇女的爱情。
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.
1:27英雄何竟仆倒。战具何竟灭没。
How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
