1 Samuel 25

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 里。 大卫和亚比该 大卫起身，下到巴兰的旷野。

sā mǔ ěr sǐ le ， yǐ sè liè zhòng rén jù jí ， wèi tā āi kū ， jiāng tā zàng zài lā mǎ — tā zì jǐ de fén mù lǐ 。 dà wèi hé yà bǐ gāi dà wèi qǐ shēn ， xià dào bā lán de kuàng yě 。

Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together and mourned for him, and buried him at his house at Ramah. Then David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

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。

zài mǎ yún yǒu yí gè rén ， tā de chǎn yè zài jiā mì ， shì yí gè dà fù hù ， yǒu sān qiān mián yáng ， yì qiān shān yáng ； tā zhèng zài jiā mì jiǎn yáng máo 。

There was a man in Maon whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats; and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

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。

nà rén míng jiào ná bā ， shì jiā lè zú de rén ； tā de qī míng jiào yà bǐ gāi ， shì cōng ming jùn měi de fù rén 。 ná bā wèi rén gāng bì xiōng è 。

Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail. This woman was intelligent and had a beautiful face; but the man was surly and evil in his doings. He was of the house of Caleb.

大卫在旷野听见说拿八剪羊毛，

dà wèi zài kuàng yě tīng jiàn shuō ná bā jiǎn yáng máo ，

David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

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。

dà wèi jiù dǎ fā shí gè pú rén ， fēn fù tā men shuō ：「 nǐ men shàng jiā mì qù jiàn ná bā ， tí wǒ de míng wèn tā ān 。

David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.

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。

yào duì nà fù hù rú cǐ shuō ：『 yuàn nǐ píng ān ， yuàn nǐ jiā píng ān ， yuàn nǐ yí qiè suǒ yǒu de dōu píng ān 。

Tell him, ‘Long life to you! Peace be to you! Peace be to your house! Peace be to all that you have!

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。

xiàn zài wǒ tīng shuō yǒu rén wéi nǐ jiǎn yáng máo ， nǐ de mù rén zài jiā mì de shí hòu hé wǒ men zài yí chù ， wǒ men méi yǒu qī fù tā men ， tā men yě wèi céng shī luò shén me 。

Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds have now been with us, and we didn’t harm them. Nothing was missing from them all the time they were in Carmel.

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。』」

kě yǐ wèn nǐ de pú rén ， tā men bì gào sù nǐ 。 suǒ yǐ yuàn wǒ de pú rén zài nǐ yǎn qián méng ēn ， yīn wèi shì zài hǎo rì zi lái de 。 qiú nǐ suí shǒu qǔ diǎn cì yǔ pú rén hé nǐ ér zi dà wèi 。』」

Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants and to your son David.’”

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。

dà wèi de pú rén dào le ， jiāng zhè huà tí dà wèi de míng dōu gào sù le ná bā ， jiù zhù le kǒu 。

When David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal all those words in the name of David, and waited.

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，

ná bā huí dá dà wèi de pú rén shuō ：「 dà wèi shì shuí ？ yē xī de ér zi shì shuí ？ jìn lái bèi nì zhǔ rén bēn táo de pú rén shèn duō ，

Nabal answered David’s servants and said, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters these days.

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？」

wǒ qǐ kě jiāng yǐn shí hé wèi wǒ jiǎn yáng máo rén suǒ zǎi de ròu gěi wǒ bù zhī dào cóng nǎ lǐ lái de rén ne ？」

Shall I then take my bread, my water, and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who I don’t know where they come from?”

大卫的仆人就转身从原路回去，照这话告诉大卫。

dà wèi de pú rén jiù zhuǎn shēn cóng yuán lù huí qù ， zhào zhè huà gào sù dà wèi 。

So David’s young men turned on their way and went back, and came and told him all these words.

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。

dà wèi xiàng gēn suí tā de rén shuō ：「 nǐ men gè rén dōu yào dài shàng dāo ！」 zhòng rén jiù dōu dài shàng dāo ， dà wèi yě dài shàng dāo 。 gēn suí dà wèi shàng qù de yuē yǒu sì bǎi rén ， liú xià èr bǎi rén kān shǒu qì jù 。

David said to his men, “Every man put on his sword!” Every man put on his sword. David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David, and two hundred stayed by the baggage.

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。

yǒu ná bā de yí gè pú rén gào sù ná bā de qī yà bǐ gāi shuō ：「 dà wèi cóng kuàng yě dǎ fā shǐ zhě lái wèn wǒ zhǔ rén de ān ， zhǔ rén què rǔ mà tā men 。

But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master; and he insulted them.

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。

dàn shì nà xiē rén dài wǒ men shèn hǎo ； wǒ men zài tián yě yǔ tā men lái wǎng de shí hòu ， méi yǒu shòu tā men de qī fù ， yě wèi céng shī luò shén me 。

But the men were very good to us, and we were not harmed, and we didn’t miss anything as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields.

我们在他们那里牧羊的时候，他们昼夜作我们的保障。

wǒ men zài tā men nà lǐ mù yáng de shí hòu ， tā men zhòu yè zuò wǒ men de bǎo zhàng 。

They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

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。」

suǒ yǐ nǐ dāng chóu huà ， kàn zěn yàng xíng cái hǎo ； bù rán ， huò huàn dìng yào lín dào wǒ zhǔ rén hé tā quán jiā 。 tā xìng qíng xiōng bào ， wú rén gǎn yǔ tā shuō huà 。」

Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master and against all his house, for he is such a worthless fellow that one can’t speak to him.”

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，

yà bǐ gāi jí máng jiāng èr bǎi bǐng ， liǎng pí dài jiǔ ， wǔ zhī shōu shí hǎo le de yáng ， wǔ xì yà hōng hǎo le de suì zǐ ， yì bǎi pú táo bǐng ， èr bǎi wú huā guǒ bǐng ， dōu tuó zài lǘ shàng ，

Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two containers of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five seahs of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.

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。

duì pú rén shuō ：「 nǐ men qián tou zǒu ， wǒ suí zhe nǐ men qù 。」 zhè shì tā què méi yǒu gào sù zhàng fu ná bā 。

She said to her young men, “Go on before me. Behold, I am coming after you.” But she didn’t tell her husband, Nabal.

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。

yà bǐ gāi qí zhe lǘ ， zhèng xià shān pō ， jiàn dà wèi hé gēn suí tā de rén cóng duì miàn xià lái ， yà bǐ gāi jiù yíng jiē tā men 。

As she rode on her donkey, and came down hidden by the mountain, behold, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them.

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。

dà wèi céng shuō ：「 wǒ zài kuàng yě wèi nà rén kān shǒu suǒ yǒu de ， yǐ zhì tā yí yàng bù shī luò ， shí zài shì tú rán le ！ tā xiàng wǒ yǐ è bào shàn 。

Now David had said, “Surely in vain I have kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him. He has returned me evil for good.

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！」

fán shǔ ná bā de nán dīng ， wǒ ruò liú yí gè dào míng rì zǎo chén ， yuàn shén chóng chóng jiàng fá yǔ wǒ ！」

God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.”

亚比该见大卫，便急忙下驴，在大卫面前脸伏于地叩拜，

yà bǐ gāi jiàn dà wèi ， biàn jí máng xià lǘ ， zài dà wèi miàn qián liǎn fú yú dì kòu bài ，

When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got off her donkey, and fell before David on her face and bowed herself to the ground.

俯伏在大卫的脚前，说：「我主啊，愿这罪归我！求你容婢女向你进言，更求你听婢女的话。

fǔ fú zài dà wèi de jiǎo qián ， shuō ：「 wǒ zhǔ a ， yuàn zhè zuì guī wǒ ！ qiú nǐ róng bì nǚ xiàng nǐ jìn yán ， gèng qiú nǐ tīng bì nǚ de huà 。

She fell at his feet and said, “On me, my lord, on me be the blame! Please let your servant speak in your ears. Hear the words of your servant.

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 ，他为人果然愚顽。但我主所打发的仆人，婢女并没有看见。

wǒ zhǔ bú yào lǐ zhè huài rén ná bā ， tā de xìng qíng yǔ tā de míng xiāng chèn ； tā míng jiào ná bā ， tā wèi rén guǒ rán yú wán 。 dàn wǒ zhǔ suǒ dǎ fā de pú rén ， bì nǚ bìng méi yǒu kàn jiàn 。

Please don’t let my lord pay attention to this worthless fellow, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your servant, didn’t see my lord’s young men whom you sent.

我主啊，耶和华既然阻止你亲手报仇，取流血的罪，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。』

wǒ zhǔ a ， yē hé huá jì rán zǔ zhǐ nǐ qīn shǒu bào chóu ， qǔ liú xuè de zuì ， suǒ yǐ wǒ zhǐ zhe yǒng shēng de yē hé huá 、 yòu gǎn zài nǐ miàn qián qǐ shì shuō ：『 yuàn nǐ de chóu dí hé móu hài nǐ de rén dōu xiàng ná bā yī yàng 。』

Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, since the LORD has withheld you from blood guiltiness and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies and those who seek evil to my lord be as Nabal.

如今求你将婢女送来的礼物给跟随你的仆人。

rú jīn qiú nǐ jiāng bì nǚ sòng lái de lǐ wù gěi gēn suí nǐ de pú rén 。

Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

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。

qiú nǐ ráo shù bì nǚ de zuì guo 。 yē hé huá bì wèi wǒ zhǔ jiàn lì jiān gù de jiā ， yīn wǒ zhǔ wèi yē hé huá zhēng zhàn ； bìng qiě zài nǐ píng shēng de rì zi chá bù chū yǒu shén me guò lái 。

Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the LORD’s battles. Evil will not be found in you all your days.

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。

suī yǒu rén qǐ lái zhuī bī nǐ ， xún suǒ nǐ de xìng mìng ， nǐ de xìng mìng què zài yē hé huá — nǐ de shén nà lǐ méng bǎo hù ， rú bāo guǒ bǎo qì yí yàng ； nǐ chóu dí de xìng mìng ， yē hé huá bì pāo qù ， rú yòng jī xián shuǎi shí yí yàng 。

Though men may rise up to pursue you and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord will be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies as from a sling’s pocket.

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。」

wǒ zhǔ xiàn zài ruò bù qīn shǒu bào chóu liú wú gū rén de xuè ， dào le yē hé huá zhào suǒ yīng xǔ nǐ de huà cì fú yǔ nǐ ， lì nǐ zuò yǐ sè liè de wáng ， nà shí wǒ zhǔ bì bú zhì xīn lǐ bù ān ， jué de liáng xīn yǒu kuī 。 yē hé huá cì fú yǔ wǒ zhǔ de shí hòu ， qiú nǐ jì niàn bì nǚ 。」

It will come to pass, when the LORD has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you prince over Israel,

that this shall be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. When the LORD has dealt well with my lord, then remember your servant.”

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。

dà wèi duì yà bǐ gāi shuō ：「 yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén shì yīng dāng chēng sòng de ， yīn wèi tā jīn rì shǐ nǐ lái yíng jiē wǒ 。

David said to Abigail, “Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you today to meet me!

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。

nǐ hé nǐ de jiàn shí yě dāng chēng zàn ； yīn wèi nǐ jīn rì lán zǔ wǒ qīn shǒu bào chóu 、 liú rén de xuè 。

Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, who have kept me today from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.

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。」

wǒ zhǐ zhe zǔ zhǐ wǒ jiā hài yú nǐ de yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè yǒng shēng de shén qǐ shì ， nǐ ruò bú sù sù dì lái yíng jiē wǒ ， dào míng rì zǎo chén ， fán shǔ ná bā de nán dīng bì dìng bù liú yí gè 。」

For indeed, as the LORD the God of Israel lives, who has withheld me from harming you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn’t have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.”

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！」

dà wèi shòu le yà bǐ gāi sòng lái de lǐ wù ， jiù duì tā shuō ：「 wǒ tīng le nǐ de huà ， zhǔn le nǐ de qíng miàn ， nǐ kě yǐ píng píng ān ān dì huí jiā ba ！」

So David received from her hand that which she had brought him. Then he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. Behold, I have listened to your voice and have granted your request.”

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。

yà bǐ gāi dào ná bā nà lǐ ， jiàn tā zài jiā lǐ shè bǎi yán xí ， rú tóng wáng de yán xí ； ná bā kuài lè dà zuì 。 yà bǐ gāi wú lùn dà xiǎo shì dōu méi yǒu gào sù tā ， jiù děng dào cì rì zǎo chén 。

Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house like the feast of a king. Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore she told him nothing until the morning light.

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。

dào le zǎo chén ， ná bā xǐng le jiǔ ， tā de qī jiāng zhè xiē shì dōu gào sù tā ， tā jiù hún bú fù tǐ ， shēn jiāng rú shí tou yì bān 。

In the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

过了十天，耶和华击打拿八，他就死了。

guò le shí tiān ， yē hé huá jī dǎ ná bā ， tā jiù sǐ le 。

About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal, so that he died.

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。

dà wèi tīng jiàn ná bā sǐ le ， jiù shuō ：「 yīng dāng chēng sòng yē hé huá ， yīn tā shēn le ná bā xiū rǔ wǒ de yuān ， yòu zǔ zhǐ pú rén xíng è ； yě shǐ ná bā de è guī dào ná bā de tóu shàng 。」 yú shì dà wèi dǎ fā rén qù ， yǔ yà bǐ gāi shuō ， yào qǔ tā wèi qī 。

When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed is the LORD, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil. The LORD has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head.” David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to himself as wife.

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。」

dà wèi de pú rén dào le jiā mì jiàn yà bǐ gāi ， duì tā shuō ：「 dà wèi dǎ fā wǒ men lái jiàn nǐ ， xiǎng yào qǔ nǐ wèi qī 。」

When David’s servants had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, to take you to him as wife.”

亚比该就起来，俯伏在地，说：「我情愿作婢女，洗我主仆人的脚。」

yà bǐ gāi jiù qǐ lái ， fǔ fú zài dì ， shuō ：「 wǒ qíng yuàn zuò bì nǚ ， xǐ wǒ zhǔ pú rén de jiǎo 。」

She arose and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, “Behold, your servant is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”

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。

yà bǐ gāi lì kè qǐ shēn ， qí shàng lǘ ， dài zhe wǔ gè shǐ nǚ ， gēn cóng dà wèi de shǐ zhě qù le ， jiù zuò le dà wèi de qī 。

Abigail hurriedly arose and rode on a donkey with her five maids who followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

大卫先娶了耶斯列人亚希暖，她们二人都作了他的妻。

dà wèi xiān qǔ le yē sī liè rén yà xī nuǎn ， tā men èr rén dōu zuò le tā de qī 。

David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they both became his wives.

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。

sǎo luó yǐ jiāng tā de nǚ ér mǐ jiǎ ， jiù shì dà wèi de qī ， gěi le jiā lín rén lā yì de ér zi pà tí wèi qī 。

Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
