撒母耳記上 25

撒母耳死了，以色列眾人聚集，為他哀哭，將他葬在拉瑪－他自己的墳墓 裏。 大衛和亞比該 大衛起身，下到巴蘭的曠野。

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.

在瑪雲有一個人，他的產業在迦密，是一個大富戶，有三千綿羊，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；他的妻名叫亞比該，是聰明俊美的婦人。拿八為人剛愎凶惡。

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.

大衛在曠野聽見說拿八剪羊毛，

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

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

大衛就打發十個僕人，吩咐他們說：「你們上迦密去見拿八，提我的名問他安。

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.

要對那富戶如此說：『願你平安，願你家平安，願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!

現在我聽說有人為你剪羊毛，你的牧人在迦密的時候和我們在一處，我們沒有欺負他們，他們也未曾失落甚麼。

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.

可以問你的僕人，他們必告訴你。所以願我的僕人在你眼前蒙恩，因為是在好日子來的。求你隨手取點賜與僕人和你兒子大衛。』」

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.’”

大衛的僕人到了，將這話提大衛的名都告訴了拿八，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.

拿八回答大衛的僕人說：「大衛是誰？耶西的兒子是誰？近來悖逆主人奔逃的僕人甚多，

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.

我豈可將飲食和為我剪羊毛人所宰的肉給我不知道從哪裏來的人呢？」

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?”

大衛的僕人就轉身從原路回去，照這話告訴大衛。

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.

大衛向跟隨他的人說：「你們各人都要帶上刀！」眾人就都帶上刀，大衛也帶上刀。跟隨大衛上去的約有四百人，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.

有拿八的一個僕人告訴拿八的妻亞比該說：「大衛從曠野打發使者來問我主人的安，主人卻辱罵他們。

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.

但是那些人待我們甚好；我們在田野與他們來往的時候，沒有受他們的欺負，也未曾失落甚麼。

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.

我們在他們那裏牧羊的時候，他們晝夜作我們的保障。

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.

所以你當籌劃，看怎樣行才好；不然，禍患定要臨到我主人和他全家。他性情凶暴，無人敢與他說話。」

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.”

亞比該急忙將二百餅，兩皮袋酒，五隻收拾好了的羊，五細亞烘好了的穗子，一百葡萄餅，二百無花果餅，都馱在驢上，

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.

對僕人說：「你們前頭走，我隨着你們去。」這事她卻沒有告訴丈夫拿八。

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.

亞比該騎着驢，正下山坡，見大衛和跟隨他的人從對面下來，亞比該就迎接他們。

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.

大衛曾說：「我在曠野為那人看守所有的，以致他一樣不失落，實在是徒然了！他向我以惡報善。

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.

凡屬拿八的男丁，我若留一個到明日早晨，願上帝重重降罰與我！」

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.”

亞比該見大衛，便急忙下驢，在大衛面前臉伏於地叩拜，

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.

俯伏在大衛的腳前，說：「我主啊，願這罪歸我！求你容婢女向你進言，更求你聽婢女的話。

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.

我主不要理這壞人拿八，他的性情與他的名相稱；他名叫拿八 ，他為人果然愚頑。但我主所打發的僕人，婢女並沒有看見。

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，耶和華既然阻止你親手報仇，取流血的罪，所以我指着永生的耶和華、又敢在你面前起誓說：『願你的仇敵和謀害你的人都像拿八一樣。』

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.

如今求你將婢女送來的禮物給跟隨你的僕人。

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.

求你饒恕婢女的罪過。耶和華必為我主建立堅固的家，因我主為耶和華爭戰；並且在你平生的日子查不出有甚麼過來。

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.

雖有人起來追逼你，尋索你的性命，你的性命卻在耶和華－你的上帝那裏蒙保護，如包裹寶器一樣；你仇敵的性命，耶和華必拋去，如用機弦甩石一樣。

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.

我主現在若不親手報仇流無辜人的血，到了耶和華照所應許你的話賜福與你，立你作以色列的王，那時我主必不致心裏不安，覺得良心有虧。耶和華賜福與我主的時候，求你記念婢女。」

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.”

大衛對亞比該說：「耶和華－以色列的上帝是應當稱頌的，因為他今日使你來迎接我。

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!

你和你的見識也當稱讚；因為你今日攔阻我親手報仇、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.

我指着阻止我加害於你的耶和華－以色列永生的上帝起誓，你若不速速地來迎接我，到明日早晨，凡屬拿八的男丁必定不留一個。」

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.”

大衛受了亞比該送來的禮物，就對她說：「我聽了你的話，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.”

亞比該到拿八那裏，見他在家裏設擺筵席，如同王的筵席；拿八快樂大醉。亞比該無論大小事都沒有告訴他，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，他的妻將這些事都告訴他，他就魂不附體，身僵如石頭一般。

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.

過了十天，耶和華擊打拿八，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.

大衛聽見拿八死了，就說：「應當稱頌耶和華，因他伸了拿八羞辱我的冤，又阻止僕人行惡；也使拿八的惡歸到拿八的頭上。」於是大衛打發人去，與亞比該說，要娶她為妻。

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.

大衛的僕人到了迦密見亞比該，對她說：「大衛打發我們來見你，想要娶你為妻。」

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.”

亞比該就起來，俯伏在地，說：「我情願作婢女，洗我主僕人的腳。」

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.”

亞比該立刻起身，騎上驢，帶着五個使女，跟從大衛的使者去了，就作了大衛的妻。

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.

大衛先娶了耶斯列人亞希暖，她們二人都作了他的妻。

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.

掃羅已將他的女兒米甲，就是大衛的妻，給了迦琳人拉億的兒子帕提為妻。

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.
