旧约--撒母耳记下(2 Samuel)--第 11 章
11:1 过了一年,到列王出战的时候,大卫又差派约押,率领臣仆和以色列众人出战。他们就打败亚扪人,围攻拉巴。大卫仍住在耶路撒冷。
And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.
11:2 一日,太阳平西,大卫从床上起来,在王宫的平顶上游行,看见一个妇人沭浴,容貌甚美,
And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
11:3 大卫就差人打听那妇人是谁。有人说,她是以连的女儿,赫人乌利亚的妻拔示巴。
And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
11:4 大卫差人去,将妇人接来。那时她的月经才得洁净。她来了,大卫与她同房,她就回家去了。
And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.
11:5 于是她怀了孕,打发人去告诉大卫说,我怀了孕。
And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
11:6 大卫差人到约押那里,说,你打发赫人乌利亚到我这里来。约押就打发乌利亚去见大卫。
And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
11:7 乌利亚来了,大卫问约押好,也问兵好,又问争战的事怎样。
And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.
11:8 大卫对乌利亚说,你回家去,洗洗脚吧。乌利亚出了王宫,随后王送他一分食物。
And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.
11:9 乌利亚却和他主人的仆人一同睡在宫门外,没有回家去。
But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
11:10 有人告诉大卫说,乌利亚没有回家去。大卫就问乌利亚说,你从远路上来,为什么不回家去呢。
And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?
11:11 乌利亚对大卫说,约柜和以色列与犹大兵都住在棚里,我主约押和我主(或作王)的仆人都在田野安营,我岂可回家吃喝,与妻子同寝呢。我敢在王面前起誓(原文作我指着王和王的性命起誓)。
And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.
11:12 大卫吩咐乌利亚说,你今日仍住在这里,明日我打发你去。于是乌利亚那日和次日住在耶路撒冷。
And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.
11:13 大卫召了乌利亚来,叫他在自己面前吃喝,使他喝醉。到了晚上,乌利亚出去与他主的仆人一同住宿,还没有回到家里去。
And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
11:14 次日早晨,大卫写信与约押,交乌利亚随手带去。
And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
11:15 信内写着说,要派乌利亚前进,到阵势极险之处,你们便退后,使他被杀。
And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.
11:16 约押围城的时候,知道敌人那里有勇士,便将乌利亚派在那里。
And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were.
11:17 城里的人出来和约押打仗。大卫的仆人中有几个被杀的,赫人乌利亚也死了。
And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
11:18 于是,约押差人去将争战的一切事告诉大卫,
Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
11:19 又嘱咐使者说,你把争战的一切事对王说完了,
And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,
11:20 王若发怒,问你说,你们打仗为什么挨近城墙呢。岂不知敌人必从城上射箭吗。
And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
11:21 从前打死耶路比设(就是耶路巴力,见士师记九章一节)儿子亚比米勒的是谁呢。岂不是一个妇人从城上抛下一块上磨石来,打在他身上,他就死在提备斯吗。你们为什么挨近城墙呢?你就说,王的仆人,赫人乌利亚也死了。
Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
11:22 使者起身,来见大卫,照着约押所吩咐他的话奏告大卫。
So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for.
11:23 使者对大卫说,敌人强过我们,出到郊野与我们打仗,我们追杀他们,直到城门口。
And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate.
11:24 射箭的从城上射王的仆人,射死几个,赫人乌利亚也死了。
And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the king's servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
11:25 王向使者说,你告诉约押说,不要因这事愁闷,刀剑或吞灭这人或吞灭那人,没有一定的。你只管竭力攻城,将城倾覆。可以用这话勉励约押。
Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him.
11:26 乌利亚的妻听见丈夫乌利亚死了,就为他哀哭。
And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.
11:27 哀哭的日子过了,大卫差人将她接到宫里,她就作了大卫的妻,给大卫生了一个儿子。但大卫所行的这事,耶和华甚不喜悦。
And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
旧约--撒母耳记下(2 Samuel)--第 12 章
12:1 耶和华差遣拿单去见大卫。拿单到了大卫那里,对他说,在一座城里有两个人,一个是富户,一个是穷人。
And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
12:2 富户有许多牛群羊群。
The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:
12:3 穷人除了所买来养活的一只小母羊羔之外,别无所有。羊羔在他家里和他儿女一同长大,吃他所吃的,喝他所喝的,睡在他怀中,在他看来如同女儿一样。
But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.
12:4 有一客人来到这富户家里。富户舍不得从自己的牛群羊群中取一只预备给客人吃,却取了那穷人的羊羔,预备给客人吃。
And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
 
12:5 大卫就甚恼怒那人,对拿单说,我指着永生的耶和华起誓,行这事的人该死。
And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:
12:6 他必偿还羊羔四倍。因为他行这事,没有怜恤的心。
And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
12:7 拿单对大卫说,你就是那人。耶和华以色列的神如此说,我膏你作以色列的王,救你脱离扫罗的手。
And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
12:8 我将你主人的家业赐给你,将你主人的妻交在你怀里,又将以色列和犹大家赐给你。你若还以为不足,我早就加倍地赐给你。
And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.
12:9 你为什么藐视耶和华的命令,行他眼中看为恶的事呢。你借亚扪人的刀杀害赫人乌利亚,又娶了他的妻为妻。
Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
12:10 你既藐视我,娶了赫人乌利亚的妻为妻,所以刀剑必永不离开陪的家。
Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
12:11 耶和华如此说,我必从你家中兴起祸患攻击你。我必在你眼前把你的妃嫔赐给别人,他在日光之下就与她们同寝。
Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
12:12 你在暗中行这事,我却要在以色列众人面前,日光之下,报应你。
For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
12:13 大卫对拿单说,我得罪耶和华了。拿单说,耶和华已经除掉你的罪,你必不至于死。
And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
12:14 只是你行这事,叫耶和华的仇敌大得*的机会,故此,你所得的孩子必定要死。
Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.
12:15 拿单就回家去了。耶和华击打乌利亚妻给大卫所生的孩子,使他得重病。
And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
12:16 所以大卫为这孩子恳求神,而且禁食,进入内室,终夜躺在地上。
David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
12:17 他家中的老臣来到他旁边,要把他从地上扶起来,他却不肯起来,也不同他们吃饭。
And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
12:18 到第七日,孩子死了。大卫的臣仆不敢告诉他孩子死了,因他们说,孩子还活着的时候,我们劝他,他尚且不肯听我们的话,若告诉他孩子死了,岂不更加忧伤吗。
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
12:19 大卫见臣仆彼此低声说话,就知道孩子死了,问臣仆说,孩子死了吗。他们说,死了。
But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
12:20 大卫就从地上起来,沭浴,抹膏,换了衣裳,进耶和华的殿敬拜。然后回宫,吩咐人摆饭,他便吃了。
Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
12:21 臣仆问他说,你所行的是什么意思。孩子活着的时候,你禁食哭泣。孩子死了,你倒起来吃饭。
Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.
12:22 大卫说,孩子还活着,我禁食哭泣。因为我想,或者耶和华怜恤我,使孩子不死也未可知。
And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
12:23 孩子死了,我何必禁食,我岂能使他返回呢。我必往他那里去,他却不能回我这里来。
But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
12:24 大卫安慰他的妻拔示巴,与她同寝,她就生了儿子,给他起名叫所罗门。耶和华也喜爱他,
And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.
12:25 就藉先知拿单赐他一个名字,叫耶底底亚,因为耶和华爱他。
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.
12:26 约押攻取亚扪人的京城拉巴。
And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
12:27 约押打发使者去见大卫,说,我攻打拉巴,取其水城。
And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.
12:28 现在你要聚集其馀的军兵来,安营围攻这城,恐怕我取了这城,人就以我的名叫这城。
Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.
12:29 于是大卫聚集众军,往拉巴去攻城,就取了这城,
And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
12:30 夺了亚扪人之王所戴的金冠冕(王或作玛勒堪。玛勒堪就是米勒公,又名摩洛,亚扪族之神名),其上的金子重一他连得,又嵌着宝石。人将这冠冕戴在大卫头上。大卫从城里夺了许多财物,
And he took their king's crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.
12:31 将城里的人拉出来,放在锯下,或铁耙下,或铁斧下,或叫他经过砖窑(或作强他们用锯,或用打粮食的铁器,或用铁斧作工,或使在砖窑里服役)。大卫待亚扪各城的居民都是如此。其后,大卫和众军都回耶路撒冷去了。
And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.
旧约--撒母耳记下(2 Samuel)--第 13 章
13:1 大卫的儿子押沙龙有一个美貌的妹子,名叫他玛。大卫的儿子暗嫩爱她。
And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
13:2 暗嫩为他妹子他玛忧急成病。他玛还是处女,暗嫩以为难向她行事。
And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do anything to her.
13:3 暗嫩有一个朋友,名叫约拿达,是大卫长兄示米亚的儿子。这约拿达为人极其狡猾。
But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man.
13:4 他问暗嫩说,王的儿子阿,为何一天比一天瘦弱呢。请你告诉我。暗嫩回答说,我爱我兄弟押沙龙的妹子他玛。
And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
13:5 约拿达说,你不如躺在床上装病。你父亲来看你,就对他说,求父叫我妹子他玛来,在我眼前预备食物,递给我吃,使我看见,好从她手里接过来吃。
And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.
13:6 于是暗嫩躺卧装病。王来看他,他对王说,求父叫我妹子他玛来,在我眼前为我作两个饼,我好从她手里接过来吃。
So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.
13:7 大卫就打发人到宫里,对他玛说,你往你哥哥暗嫩的屋里去,为他预备食物。
Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat.
13:8 他玛就到她哥哥暗嫩的屋里。暗嫩正躺卧。他玛抟面,在他眼前作饼,且烤熟了,
So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.
13:9 在他面前将饼从锅里倒出来,他却不肯吃,便说,众人离开我出去吧。众人就都离开他,出去了。
And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him.
13:10 暗嫩对他玛说,你把食物拿进卧房,我好从你手里接过来吃。他玛就把所作的饼拿进卧房,到她哥哥暗嫩那里,
And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
13:11 拿着饼上前给他吃,他便拉住他玛,说,我妹妹,你来与我同寝。
And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.
13:12 他玛说,我哥哥,不要玷辱我。以色列人中不当这样行,你不要作这丑事。
And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.
13:13 你玷辱了我,我何以掩盖我的羞耻呢。你在以色列中也成了愚妄人。你可以求王,他必不禁止我归你。
And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.
13:14 但暗嫩不肯听她的话,因比她力大,就玷辱她,与她同寝。
Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.
13:15 随后,暗嫩极其恨她,那恨她的心比先前爱她的心更甚,对她说,你起来,去吧。
Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.
13:16 他玛说,不要这样。你赶出我去的这罪比你才行的更重。但暗嫩不肯听她的话,
And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her.
13:17 就叫伺候自己的仆人来,说,将这个女子赶出去。她一出去,你就关门,上闩。
Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.
13:18 那时他玛穿着彩衣,因为没有出嫁的公主都是这样穿。暗嫩的仆人就把她赶出去,关门上闩。
And she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
13:19 他玛把灰尘撒在头上,撕裂所穿的彩衣,以手抱头,一面行走,一面哭喊。
And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.
13:20 她胞兄押沙龙问她说,莫非你哥哥暗嫩与你亲近了吗。我妹妹,暂且不要作声,他是你的哥哥,不要将这事放在心上。他玛就孤孤单单地住在她胞兄押沙龙家里。
And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.
13:21 大卫王听见这事,就甚发怒。
But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.
13:22 押沙龙并不和他哥哥暗嫩说好说歹。因为暗嫩玷辱他妹妹他玛,所以押沙龙恨恶他。
And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
13:23 过了二年,在靠近以法莲的巴力夏琐有人为押沙龙剪羊毛。押沙龙请王的众子与他同去。
And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
13:24 押沙龙来见王,说,现在有人为仆人剪羊毛,请王和王的臣仆与仆人同去。
And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant.
13:25 王对押沙龙说,我儿,我们不必都去,恐怕使你耗费太多。押沙龙再三请王,王仍是不肯去,只为他祝福。
And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him.
13:26 押沙龙说,王若不去,求王许我哥哥暗嫩同去。王说,何必要他去呢。
Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee?
13:27 押沙龙再三求王,王就许暗嫩和王的众子与他同去。
But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
13:28 押沙龙吩咐仆人说,你们注意,看暗嫩饮酒畅快的时候,我对你们说杀暗嫩,你们便杀他,不要惧怕。这不是我吩咐你们的吗。你们只管壮胆奋勇。
Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.
13:29 押沙龙的仆人就照押沙龙所吩咐的,向暗嫩行了。王的众子都起来,各人骑上骡子,逃跑了。
And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled.
13:30 他们还在路上,有风声传到大卫那里,说,押沙龙将王的众子都杀了,没有留下一个。
And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
13:31 王就起来,撕裂衣服,躺在地上。王的臣仆也都撕裂衣服,站在旁边。
Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.
13:32 大卫的长兄,示米亚的儿子约拿达说,我主,不要以为王的众子少年人都杀了,只有暗嫩一个人死了。自从暗嫩玷辱押沙龙妹子他玛的那日,押沙龙就定意杀暗嫩了。
And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
13:33 现在,我主我王,不要把这事放在心上,以为王的众子都死了,只有暗嫩一个人死了。
Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead.
13:34 押沙龙逃跑了。守望的少年人举目观看,见有许多人从山坡的路上来。
But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill side behind him.
13:35 约拿达对王说,看哪,王的众子都来了,果然与你仆人所说的相合。
And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.
13:36 话才说完,王的众子都到了,放声大哭,王和臣仆也都哭得甚恸。
And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore.
13:37 押沙龙逃到基述王亚米忽的儿子达买那里去了。大卫天天为他儿子悲哀。
But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.
13:38 押沙龙逃到基述,在那里住了三年。
So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
13:39 暗嫩死了以后,大卫王得了安慰,心里切切想念押沙龙。
And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
旧约--撒母耳记下(2 Samuel)--第 14 章
14:1 洗鲁雅的儿子约押,知道王心里想念押沙龙,
Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward Absalom.
14:2 就打发人往提哥亚去,从那里叫了一个聪明的妇人来,对她说,请你假装居丧的,穿上孝衣,不要用膏抹身,要装作为死者许久悲哀的妇人。
And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead:
14:3 进去见王,对王如此如此说。于是约押将当说的话教导了妇人。
And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth.
14:4 提哥亚妇人到王面前,伏地叩拜,说,王阿,求你拯救。
And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king.
14:5 王问她说,你有什么事呢。回答说,婢女实在是寡妇,我丈夫死了。
And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead.
14:6 我有两个儿子,一日在田间争斗,没有人解劝,这个就打死那个。
And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and slew him.
14:7 现在全家的人都起来攻击婢女,说,你将那打死兄弟的交出来,我们好治死他,偿他打死兄弟的命,灭绝那承受家业的。这样,他们要将我剩下的炭火灭尽,不与我丈夫留名留后在世上。
And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they shall quench my coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth.
14:8 王对妇人说,你回家去吧。我必为你下令。
And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I will give charge concerning thee.
14:9 提哥亚妇人又对王说,我主我王,愿这罪归我和我父家,与王和王的位无干。
And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house: and the king and his throne be guiltless.
14:10 王说,凡难为你的,你就带他到我这里来,他必不再搅扰你。
And the king said, Whosoever saith ought unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.
14:11 妇人说,愿王记念耶和华你的神,不许报血仇的人施行灭绝,恐怕他们灭绝我的儿子。王说,我指着永生的耶和华起誓,你的儿子连一根头发也不致落在地上。
Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
14:12 妇人说,求我主我王容婢女再说一句话。王说,你说吧。
Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak one word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
14:13 妇人说,王为何也起意要害神的民呢。王不使那逃亡的人回来,王的这话就是自证己错了。
And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished.
14:14 我们都是必死的,如同水泼在地上,不能收回。神并不夺取人的性命,乃设法使逃亡的人不致成为赶出,回不来的。
For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.
14:15 我来将这话告诉我主我王,是因百姓使我惧怕。婢女想,不如将这话告诉王,或者王成就婢女所求的。
Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid.
14:16 人要将我和我儿子从神的地业上一同除灭,王必应允救我脱离他的手。
For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
14:17 婢女又想,我主我王的话必安慰我。因为我主我王能辨别是非,如同神的使者一样。惟愿耶和华你的神与你同在。
Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD thy God will be with thee.
14:18 王对妇人说,我要问你一句话,你一点不要瞒我。妇人说,愿我主我王说。
Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.
14:19 王说,你这些话莫非是约押的主意吗。妇人说,我敢在我主我王面前起誓,王的话升对,不偏左右,是王的仆人约押吩咐我的,这些话是他教导我的。
And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid:
14:20 王的仆人约押如此行,为要挽回这事。我主的智慧却如神使者的智慧,能知世上一切事。
To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.
14:21 王对约押说,我应允你这事。你可以去,把那少年人押沙龙带回来。
And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again.
14:22 约押就面伏于地叩拜,祝谢于王,又说,王既应允仆人所求的,仆人今日知道在我主我王眼前蒙恩了。
And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant.
14:23 于是约押起身往基述去,将押沙龙带回耶路撒冷。
So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
14:24 王说,使他回自己家里去,不要见我的面。押沙龙就回自己家里去,没有见王的面。
And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king's face.
14:25 以色列全地之中,无人像押沙龙那样俊美,得人的称赞,从脚底到头顶毫无瑕疵。
But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
14:26 他的头发甚重,每到年底剪发一次。所剪下来的,按王的平称一称,重二百舍客勒。
And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year's end that he polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it:) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight.
14:27 押沙龙生了三个儿子,一个女儿。女儿名叫他玛,是个容貌俊美的女子。
And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance.
14:28 押沙龙住在耶路撒冷足有二年,没有见王的面。
So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face.
14:29 押沙龙打发人去叫约押来,要托他去见王,约押却不肯来。第二次打发人去叫他,他仍不肯来。
Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come.
14:30 所以押沙龙对仆人说,你们看,约押有一块田,与我的田相近,其中有大麦,你们去放火烧了。押沙龙的仆人就去放火烧了那田。
Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the field on fire.
14:31 于是约押起来,到了押沙龙家里,问他说,你的仆人为何放火烧了我的田呢。
Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?
14:32 押沙龙回答约押说,我打发人去请你来,好托你去见王,替我说,我为何从基述回来呢。不如仍在那里。现在要许我见王的面。我若有罪,任凭王杀我就是了。
And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it had been good for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him kill me.
14:33 于是约押去见王,将这话奏告王,王便叫押沙龙来。押沙龙来见王,在王面前俯伏于地,王就与押沙龙亲嘴。
So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.
旧约--撒母耳记下(2 Samuel)--第 15 章
15:1 此后,押沙龙为自己预备车马,又派五十人在他前头奔走。
And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
15:2 押沙龙常常早晨起来,站在城门的道旁,凡有争讼要去求王判断的,押沙龙就叫他过来,问他说,你是哪一城的人。回答说,仆人是以色列某支派的人。
And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
15:3 押沙龙对他说,你的事有情有理,无奈王没有委人听你伸诉。
And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.
15:4 押沙龙又说,恨不得我作国中的士师。凡有争讼求审判的到我这里来,我必秉公判断。
Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!
15:5 若有人近前来要拜押沙龙,押沙龙就伸手拉住他,与他亲嘴。
And it was so, that when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
15:6 以色列人中,凡去见王求判断的,押沙龙都是如此待他们。这样,押沙龙暗中得了以色列人的心。
And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
15:7 满了四十年(有作四年的),押沙龙对王说,求你准我往希伯仑去,还我向耶和华所许的愿。
And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron.
15:8 因为仆人住在亚兰的基述,曾许愿说,耶和华若使我再回耶路撒冷,我必事奉他。
For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.
15:9 王说,你平平安安地去吧。押沙龙就起身,往希伯仑去了。
And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
15:10 押沙龙打发探子走遍以色列各支派,说,你们一听见角声就说,押沙龙在希伯仑作王了。
But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron.
15:11 押沙龙在耶路撒冷请了二百人与他同去,都是诚诚实实去的,并不知道其中的真情。
And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing.
15:12 押沙龙献祭的时候,打发人去将大卫的谋士,基罗人亚希多弗从他本城请了来。于是叛逆的势派甚大。因为随从押沙龙的人民,日渐增多。
And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
15:13 有人报告大卫说,以色列人的心都归向押沙龙了。
And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
15:14 大卫就对耶路撒冷跟随他的臣仆说,我们要起来逃走,不然都不能躲避押沙龙了。要速速地去,恐怕他忽然来到,加害于我们,用刀杀尽合城的人。
And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
15:15 王的臣仆对王说,我主我王所定的,仆人都愿遵行。
And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint.
15:16 于是王带着全家的人出去了,但留下十个妃嫔看守宫殿。
And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house.
15:17 王出去,众民都跟随他,到伯墨哈,就住下了。
And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.
15:18 王的臣仆都在他面前过去。基利提人,比利提人,就是从迦特跟随王来的六百人,也都在他面前过去。
And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
15:19 王对迦特人以太说,你是外邦逃来的人,为什么与我们同去呢。你可以回去与新王同住,或者回你本地去吧。
Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile.
15:20 你来的日子不多,我今日怎好叫你与我们一同飘流,没有一定的住处呢。你不如带你的弟兄回去吧。愿耶和华用慈爱诚实待你。
Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth be with thee.
15:21 以太对王说,我指着永生的耶和华起誓,又敢在王面前起誓,无论生死,王在哪里,仆人也必在那里。
And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the LORD liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be.
15:22 大卫对以太说,你前去过河吧。于是迦特人以太带着跟随他的人和所有的妇人孩子,就都过去了。
And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
15:23 本地的人都放声大哭。众民尽都过去,王也过了汲沦溪。众民往旷野去了。
And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the * Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.
15:24 撒督和抬神约柜的利未人也一同来了,将神的约柜放下。亚比亚他上来,等着众民从城里出来过去。
And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city.
15:25 王对撒督说,你将神的约柜抬回城去。我若在耶和华眼前蒙恩,他必使我回来,再见约柜和他的居所。
And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me again, and shew me both it, and his habitation:
15:26 倘若他说,我不喜悦你,看哪,我在这里,愿他凭自己的意旨待我。
But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him.
15:27 王又对祭司撒督说,你不是先见吗。你可以安然回城。你儿子亚希玛斯和亚比亚他的儿子约拿单都可以与你同去。
The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art not thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
15:28 我在旷野的渡口那里等你们报信给我。
See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me.
15:29 于是撒督和亚比亚他将神的约柜抬回耶路撒冷,他们就住在那里。
Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there.
15:30 大卫蒙头赤脚上橄榄山,一面上,一面哭。跟随他的人也都蒙头哭着上去。
And David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
15:31 有人告诉大卫说,亚希多弗也在叛党之中,随从押沙龙。戴卫祷告说,耶和华阿,求你使亚希多弗的计谋变为愚拙。
And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
15:32 大卫到了山顶,敬拜神的地方,见亚基人户筛,衣服撕裂,头蒙灰尘来迎接他。
And it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head:
15:33 大卫对他说,你若与我同去,必累赘我。
Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me:
15:34 你若回城去,对押沙龙说,王阿,我愿作你的仆人。我向来作你父亲的仆人,现在我也照样作你的仆人。这样,你就可以为我破坏亚希多弗的计谋。
But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
15:35 祭司撒督和亚比亚他岂不都在那里吗。你在王宫里听见什么,就要告诉祭司撒督和亚比亚他。
And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
15:36 撒督的儿子亚希玛斯,亚比亚他的儿子约拿单,也都在那里。凡你们所听见的可以托这二人来报告我。
Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok's son, and Jonathan Abiathar's son; and by them ye shall send unto me every thing that ye can hear.
15:37 于是,大卫的朋友户筛进了城。押沙龙也进了耶路撒冷。
So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
