撒母耳記上 28

那時，非利士人聚集軍旅，要與以色列人打仗。亞吉對大衛說：「你當知道，你和跟隨你的人都要隨我出戰。」

nà shí ， fēi lì shì rén jù jí jūn lǚ ， yào yǔ yǐ sè liè rén dǎ zhàng 。 yà jí duì dà wèi shuō ：「 nǐ dāng zhī dào ， nǐ hé gēn suí nǐ de rén dōu yào suí wǒ chū zhàn 。」

In those days, the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. Achish said to David, “Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the army, you and your men.”

大衛對亞吉說：「僕人所能做的事，王必知道。」亞吉對大衛說：「這樣，我立你永遠作我的護衛長。」

dà wèi duì yà jí shuō ：「 pú rén suǒ néng zuò de shì ， wáng bì zhī dào 。」 yà jí duì dà wèi shuō ：「 zhè yàng ， wǒ lì nǐ yǒng yuǎn zuò wǒ de hù wèi cháng 。」

David said to Achish, “Therefore you will know what your servant can do.” Achish said to David, “Therefore I will make you my bodyguard forever.”

那時撒母耳已經死了，以色列眾人為他哀哭，葬他在拉瑪，就是在他本城裏。掃羅曾在國內不容有交鬼的和行巫術的人。

nà shí sā mǔ ěr yǐ jīng sǐ le ， yǐ sè liè zhòng rén wéi tā āi kū ， zàng tā zài lā mǎ ， jiù shì zài tā běn chéng lǐ 。 sǎo luó céng zài guó nèi bù róng yǒu jiāo guǐ de hé xíng wū shù de rén 。

Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. Saul had sent away those who had familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land.

非利士人聚集，來到書念安營；掃羅聚集以色列眾人在基利波安營。

fēi lì shì rén jù jí ， lái dào shū niàn ān yíng ； sǎo luó jù jí yǐ sè liè zhòng rén zài jī lì bō ān yíng 。

The Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa.

掃羅看見非利士的軍旅就懼怕，心中發顫。

sǎo luó kàn jiàn fēi lì shì de jūn lǚ jiù jù pà ， xīn zhōng fā chàn 。

When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.

掃羅求問耶和華，耶和華卻不藉夢，或烏陵，或先知回答他。

sǎo luó qiú wèn yē hé huá ， yē hé huá què bú jiè mèng ， huò wū líng ， huò xiān zhī huí dá tā 。

When Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD didn’t answer him by dreams, by Urim, or by prophets.

掃羅吩咐臣僕說：「當為我找一個交鬼的婦人，我好去問她。」臣僕說：「在隱‧多珥有一個交鬼的婦人。」

sǎo luó fēn fù chén pú shuō ：「 dāng wèi wǒ zhǎo yí gè jiāo guǐ de fù rén ， wǒ hǎo qù wèn tā 。」 chén pú shuō ：「 zài yǐn · duō ěr yǒu yí gè jiāo guǐ de fù rén 。」

Then Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman who has a familiar spirit, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” His servants said to him, “Behold, there is a woman who has a familiar spirit at Endor.”

於是掃羅改了裝，穿上別的衣服，帶着兩個人，夜裏去見那婦人。掃羅說：「求你用交鬼的法術，將我所告訴你的死人，為我招上來。」

yú shì sǎo luó gǎi le zhuāng ， chuān shàng bié de yī fú ， dài zhe liǎng gè rén ， yè lǐ qù jiàn nà fù rén 。 sǎo luó shuō ：「 qiú nǐ yòng jiāo guǐ de fǎ shù ， jiāng wǒ suǒ gào sù nǐ de sǐ rén ， wèi wǒ zhāo shàng lái 。」

Saul disguised himself and put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. Then he said, “Please consult for me by the familiar spirit, and bring me up whomever I shall name to you.”

婦人對他說：「你知道掃羅從國中剪除交鬼的和行巫術的。你為何陷害我的性命，使我死呢？」

fù rén duì tā shuō ：「 nǐ zhī dào sǎo luó cóng guó zhōng jiǎn chú jiāo guǐ de hé xíng wū shù de 。 nǐ wèi hé xiàn hài wǒ de xìng mìng ， shǐ wǒ sǐ ne ？」

The woman said to him, “Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who have familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?”

掃羅向婦人指着耶和華起誓說：「我指着永生的耶和華起誓，你必不因這事受刑。」

sǎo luó xiàng fù rén zhǐ zhe yē hé huá qǐ shì shuō ：「 wǒ zhǐ zhe yǒng shēng de yē hé huá qǐ shì ， nǐ bì bù yīn zhè shì shòu xíng 。」

Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, “As the LORD lives, no punishment will happen to you for this thing.”

婦人說：「我為你招誰上來呢？」回答說：「為我招撒母耳上來。」

fù rén shuō ：「 wǒ wèi nǐ zhāo shuí shàng lái ne ？」 huí dá shuō ：「 wèi wǒ zhāo sā mǔ ěr shàng lái 。」

Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up to you?” He said, “Bring Samuel up for me.”

婦人看見撒母耳，就大聲呼叫，對掃羅說：「你是掃羅，為甚麼欺哄我呢？」

fù rén kàn jiàn sā mǔ ěr ， jiù dà shēng hū jiào ， duì sǎo luó shuō ：「 nǐ shì sǎo luó ， wèi shén me qī hǒng wǒ ne ？」

When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!”

王對婦人說：「不要懼怕，你看見了甚麼呢？」婦人對掃羅說：「我看見有神從地裏上來。」

wáng duì fù rén shuō ：「 bú yào jù pà ， nǐ kàn jiàn le shén me ne ？」 fù rén duì sǎo luó shuō ：「 wǒ kàn jiàn yǒu shén cóng dì lǐ shàng lái 。」

The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid! What do you see?” The woman said to Saul, “I see a god coming up out of the earth.”

掃羅說：「他是怎樣的形狀？」婦人說：「有一個老人上來，身穿長衣。」掃羅知道是撒母耳，就屈身，臉伏於地下拜。

sǎo luó shuō ：「 tā shì zěn yàng de xíng zhuàng ？」 fù rén shuō ：「 yǒu yí gè lǎo rén shàng lái ， shēn chuān cháng yī 。」 sǎo luó zhī dào shì sā mǔ ěr ， jiù qū shēn ， liǎn fú yú dì xià bài 。

He said to her, “What does he look like?” She said, “An old man comes up. He is covered with a robe.” Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and showed respect.

撒母耳對掃羅說：「你為甚麼攪擾我，招我上來呢？」掃羅回答說：「我甚窘急；因為非利士人攻擊我，上帝也離開我，不再藉先知或夢回答我。因此請你上來，好指示我應當怎樣行。」

sā mǔ ěr duì sǎo luó shuō ：「 nǐ wèi shén me jiǎo rǎo wǒ ， zhāo wǒ shàng lái ne ？」 sǎo luó huí dá shuō ：「 wǒ shèn jiǒng jí ； yīn wèi fēi lì shì rén gōng jī wǒ ， shén yě lí kāi wǒ ， bú zài jiè xiān zhī huò mèng huí dá wǒ 。 yīn cǐ qǐng nǐ shàng lái ， hǎo zhǐ shì wǒ yīng dāng zěn yàng xíng 。」

Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me, to bring me up?” Saul answered, “I am very distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me, and answers me no more, by prophets, or by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I shall do.”

撒母耳說：「耶和華已經離開你，且與你為敵，你何必問我呢？

sā mǔ ěr shuō ：「 yē hé huá yǐ jīng lí kāi nǐ ， qiě yǔ nǐ wèi dí ， nǐ hé bì wèn wǒ ne ？

Samuel said, “Why then do you ask me, since the LORD has departed from you and has become your adversary?

耶和華照他藉我說的話，已經從你手裏奪去國權，賜與別人，就是大衛。

yē hé huá zhào tā jiè wǒ shuō de huà ， yǐ jīng cóng nǐ shǒu lǐ duó qù guó quán ， cì yǔ bié rén ， jiù shì dà wèi 。

The LORD has done to you as he spoke by me. The LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, even to David.

因你沒有聽從耶和華的命令；他惱怒亞瑪力人，你沒有滅絕他們，所以今日耶和華向你這樣行，

yīn nǐ méi yǒu tīng cóng yē hé huá de mìng lìng ； tā nǎo nù yà mǎ lì rén ， nǐ méi yǒu miè jué tā men ， suǒ yǐ jīn rì yē hé huá xiàng nǐ zhè yàng xíng ，

Because you didn’t obey the LORD’s voice, and didn’t execute his fierce wrath on Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you today.

並且耶和華必將你和以色列人交在非利士人的手裏。明日你和你眾子必與我在一處了；耶和華必將以色列的軍兵交在非利士人手裏。」

bìng qiě yē hé huá bì jiāng nǐ hé yǐ sè liè rén jiāo zài fēi lì shì rén de shǒu lǐ 。 míng rì nǐ hé nǐ zhòng zǐ bì yǔ wǒ zài yí chù le ； yē hé huá bì jiāng yǐ sè liè de jūn bīng jiāo zài fēi lì shì rén shǒu lǐ 。」

Moreover the LORD will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will deliver the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.”

掃羅猛然仆倒，挺身在地，因撒母耳的話甚是懼怕；那一晝一夜，沒有吃甚麼，就毫無氣力。

sǎo luó měng rán pú dǎo ， tǐng shēn zài dì ， yīn sā mǔ ěr de huà shèn shì jù pà ； nà yí zhòu yí yè ， méi yǒu chī shén me ， jiù háo wú qì lì 。

Then Saul fell immediately his full length on the earth, and was terrified, because of Samuel’s words. There was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all day long or all night long.

婦人到掃羅面前，見他極其驚恐，對他說：「婢女聽從你的話，不顧惜自己的性命，遵從你所吩咐的。

fù rén dào sǎo luó miàn qián ， jiàn tā jí qí jīng kǒng ， duì tā shuō ：「 bì nǚ tīng cóng nǐ de huà ， bú gù xī zì jǐ de xìng mìng ， zūn cóng nǐ suǒ fēn fù de 。

The woman came to Saul and saw that he was very troubled, and said to him, “Behold, your servant has listened to your voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have listened to your words which you spoke to me.

現在求你聽婢女的話，容我在你面前擺上一點食物，你吃了，可以有氣力行路。」

xiàn zài qiú nǐ tīng bì nǚ de huà ， róng wǒ zài nǐ miàn qián bǎi shàng yì diǎn shí wù ， nǐ chī le ， kě yǐ yǒu qì lì xíng lù 。」

Now therefore, please listen also to the voice of your servant, and let me set a morsel of bread before you. Eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way.”

掃羅不肯，說：「我不吃。」但他的僕人和婦人再三勸他，他才聽了他們的話，從地上起來，坐在床上。

sǎo luó bù kěn ， shuō ：「 wǒ bù chī 。」 dàn tā de pú rén hé fù rén zài sān quàn tā ， tā cái tīng le tā men de huà ， cóng dì shàng qǐ lái ， zuò zài chuáng shàng 。

But he refused, and said, “I will not eat.” But his servants, together with the woman, constrained him; and he listened to their voice. So he arose from the earth and sat on the bed.

婦人急忙將家裏的一隻肥牛犢宰了，又拿麵摶成無酵餅烤了，

fù rén jí máng jiāng jiā lǐ de yì zhī féi niú dú zǎi le ， yòu ná miàn tuán chéng wú jiào bǐng kǎo le ，

The woman had a fattened calf in the house. She hurried and killed it; and she took flour and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread of it.

擺在掃羅和他僕人面前。他們吃完，當夜就起身走了。

bǎi zài sǎo luó hé tā pú rén miàn qián 。 tā men chī wán ， dāng yè jiù qǐ shēn zǒu le 。

She brought it before Saul and before his servants, and they ate. Then they rose up and went away that night.
