又向东延到伯拉河这边的旷野、因为他们在基列地牲畜增多。

and he lived eastward even to the entrance of the wilderness from the river Euphrates, because their livestock were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

扫罗年间他们与夏甲人争战、夏甲人倒在他们手下、他们就在基列东边的全地、住在夏甲人的帐棚里。

They were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he answered them, because they put their trust in him.

他们掳掠了夏甲人的牲畜、有骆驼五万、羊二十五万、驴二千．又有人十万。

They took away their livestock; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred fifty thousand, and of donkeys two thousand, and of men one hundred thousand.

敌人被杀仆倒的甚多、因为这争战是出乎神．他们就住在敌人的地上、直到被掳的时候。

For many fell slain, because the war was of God. They lived in their place until the captivity.

玛拿西半支派的人住在那地．从巴珊延到巴力黑们、示尼珥、与黑门山。

The children of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land: they increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon.

他们的族长是以弗、以示、以列、亚斯列、耶利米、何达威雅、雅叠．都是大能的勇士、是有名的人、也是作族长的。

These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: even Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, famous men, heads of their fathers’ houses.

他们得罪了他们列祖的神、随从那地之民的神行邪淫．这民就是神在他们面前所除灭的。

They trespassed against the God of their fathers, and played the prostitute after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God destroyed before them.

故此、以色列的神激动亚述王普勒、和亚述王提革拉毘尼色的心、他们就把流便人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派的人、掳到哈腊、哈博、哈拉与歌散河边、直到今日还在那里。

So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river of Gozan, to this day.

非利士人与以色列人争战、以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑、在基利波山有被杀仆倒的。

Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.

非利士人紧追扫罗和他儿子们、就杀了扫罗的儿子约拿单、亚比拿达、麦基舒亚。

The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.

势派甚大、扫罗被弓箭手追上、射伤甚重．

The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was distressed by reason of the archers.

就吩咐拿他兵器的人说、你拔出刀来、将我刺死、免得那些未受割礼的人来凌辱我．但拿兵器的人甚惧怕、不肯刺他。

Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not; for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell on it.

扫罗就自己伏在刀上死了、拿兵器的人见扫罗已死、也伏在刀上死了。

When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died.

这样、扫罗和他三个儿子、并他的全家都一同死亡。

So Saul died with his three sons; and all his house died together.

住平原的以色列众人、见以色列军兵逃跑、扫罗和他儿子都死了、也就弃城逃跑、非利士人便来住在其中。

When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.

次日、非利士人来剥那被杀之人的衣服、看见扫罗和他儿子仆倒在基利波山、

On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

就剥了他的军装、割下他的首级、打发人到非利士地的四境〈到或作送到〉报信与他们的偶像、和众民．

They stripped him, and took his head and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to their idols, and to the people.

又将扫罗的军装放在他们神的庙里、将他的首级钉在大衮庙中。

They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.

基列雅比人听见非利士人向扫罗所行的一切事、

When all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

他们中间所有的勇士就起身前去、将扫罗和他儿子的尸身送到雅比、将他们的尸骨葬在雅比的橡树下、就禁食七日。

all the valiant men arose, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

这样、扫罗死了因为他干犯耶和华、没有遵守耶和华的命．又因他求问交鬼的妇人、

So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Yahweh, because of Yahweh’s word, which he didn’t keep; and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire,

没有求问耶和华、所以耶和华使他被杀、把国归于耶西的儿子大卫。

and didn’t inquire of Yahweh. Therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.

第11章

以色列众人聚集到希伯仑见大卫、说、我们原是你的骨肉。

Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

从前扫罗作王的时候、率领以色列人出入的是你．耶和华你的神也曾应许你说、你必牧养我的民以色列、作以色列的君。

In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. Yahweh your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.’”

于是以色列的长老、都来到希伯仑见大卫王．大卫在希伯仑耶和华面前与他们立约．他们就膏大卫作以色列的王、是照耶和华藉撒母耳所说的话。

So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to Yahweh’s word by Samuel.

大卫和以色列众人到了耶路撒冷、就是耶布斯．那时耶布斯人住在那里。

David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (also called Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.

耶布斯人对大卫说、你决不能进这地方。然而大卫攻取锡安的保障、就是大卫的城。

The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here.” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. The same is David’s city.

大卫说、谁先攻打耶布斯人、必作首领元帅。洗鲁雅的儿子约押先上去、就作了元帅。

David said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.

大卫住在保障里．所以那保障叫作大卫城。

David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it David’s city.

大卫又从米罗起、四围建筑城墙、其馀的是约押修理。

He built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

大卫日见强盛、因为万军之耶和华与他同在。

David grew greater and greater; for Yahweh of Armies was with him.

以下记录跟随大卫勇士的首领、就是奋勇帮助他得国、照着耶和华吩咐以色列人的话、与以色列人一同立他作王的。

Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to Yahweh’s word concerning Israel.

大卫勇士的数目记在下面．哈革摩尼的儿子雅朔班、他是军长的统领、一时举枪杀了三百人。

This is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them at one time.

其次是亚合人、朵多的儿子以利亚撒、他是三个勇士里的一个。

After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.

他从前与大卫在巴斯达闵、非利士人聚集要打仗．那里有一块长满大麦的田、众民就在非利士人面前逃跑。

He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

这勇士便站在那田间、击杀非利士人、救护了那田．耶和华使以色列人大获全胜。

They stood in the middle of the plot, defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh saved them by a great victory.

三十个勇士中的三个人下到磐石那里、进了亚杜兰洞见大卫．非利士的军队在利乏音谷安营。

Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

那时大卫在山寨、非利士人的防营在伯利恒。

David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem at that time.

大卫渴想、说、甚愿有人将伯利恒城门旁、井里的水打来给我喝。

David longed, and said, “Oh that one would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”

这三个勇士就闯过非利士人的营盘、从伯利恒城门旁的井里打水、拿来奉给大卫．他却不肯喝、将水奠在耶和华面前、

The three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; but David would not drink any of it, but poured it out to Yahweh,

说、我的神阿、这三个人冒死去打水．这水好像他们的血一般、我断不敢喝。如此、大卫不肯喝。这是三个勇士所作的事。

and said, “My God forbid me, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?” For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.

约押的兄弟、亚比筛、是这三个勇士的首领．他举枪杀了三百人、就在三个勇士里得了名。

Abishai, the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.

他在这三个勇士里是最尊贵的、所以作他们的首领．只是不及前三个勇士。

Of the three, he was more honorable than the two, and was made their captain; however he wasn’t included in the three.

有甲薛勇士耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅、行过大能的事、他杀了摩押人亚利伊勒的两个儿子．又在下雪的时候下坑里去杀了一个狮子．

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day.

又杀了一个埃及人、埃及人身高五肘、手里拿着枪、枪杆粗如织布的机轴．比拿雅只拿着棍子下去、从埃及人手里夺过枪来、用那枪将他刺死。

He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high. In the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.

这是耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅所行的事、就在三个勇士里得了名。

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the three mighty men.

他比那三十个勇士都尊贵、只是不及前三个勇士．大卫立他作护卫长。

Behold, he was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three; and David set him over his guard.

军中的勇士、有约押的兄弟亚撒黑、伯利恒人朵多的儿子伊勒哈难、

第12章

大卫因怕基士的儿子扫罗、躲在洗革拉的时候、有勇士到他那里帮助他打仗。

Now these are those who came to David to Ziklag, while he was a fugitive from Saul the son of Kish. They were among the mighty men, his helpers in war.

他们善于拉弓、能用左右两手甩石射箭．都是便雅悯人扫罗的族弟兄。

They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in slinging stones and in shooting arrows from the bow. They were of Saul’s relatives of the tribe of Benjamin.

为首的是亚希以谢．其次是约阿施、都是基比亚人示玛的儿子．还有亚斯玛威的儿子耶薛、和毘力．又有比拉迦、并亚拿突人耶户、

The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite;

基遍人以实买雅、他在三十人中是勇士管理他们、且有耶利米、雅哈悉、约哈难、和基得拉人约撒拔、

Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty and a leader of the thirty; Jeremiah; Jahaziel; Johanan; Jozabad the Gederathite;

伊利乌赛、耶利摩、比亚利雅、示玛利雅、哈律弗人示法提雅、

Eluzai; Jerimoth; Bealiah; Shemariah; Shephatiah the Haruphite;

可拉人以利加拿、耶西亚、亚萨列、约以谢、雅朔班、

Elkanah, Isshiah Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites;

基多人耶罗罕的儿子犹拉、和西巴第雅。

and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

迦得支派中、有人到旷野的山寨投奔大卫、都是大能的勇士、能拿盾牌和枪的战士．他们的面貌好像狮子、快跑如同山上的鹿．

Some Gadites joined David in the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, who could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the gazelles on the mountains:

第一以薛、第二俄巴底雅、第三以利押、

Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

第四弥施玛拿、第五耶利米、

Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

第六亚太、第七以利业、

Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

第八约哈难、第九以利萨巴、

Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

第十耶利米、第十一末巴奈。

Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbannai the eleventh.

这都是迦得人中的军长．至小的能抵一百人、至大的能抵一千人。

These of the sons of Gad were captains of the army: he who was least was equal to one hundred, and the greatest to one thousand.

正月、约但河水涨过两岸的时候、他们过河、使一切住平原的人、东奔西逃。

These are those who went over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all who lived in the valleys, both toward the east and toward the west.

又有便雅悯和犹大人到山寨大卫那里。

Some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.

大卫出去迎接他们、对他们说、你们若是和和平平的来帮助我、我心就与你们相契．你们若是将我这无罪的人卖在敌人手里、愿我们列祖的神察看责罚。

David went out to meet them, and answered them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers see this and rebuke it.”

那时神的灵感动那三十个勇士的首领亚玛撒、他就说、大卫阿、我们是归于你的、耶西的儿子阿、我们是帮助你的．愿你平平安安、愿帮助你的、也都平安．因为你的神帮助你。大卫就收留他们、立他们作军长。

Then the Spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the thirty, and he said, “We are yours, David, and on your side, you son of Jesse. Peace, peace be to you, and peace be to your helpers; for your God helps you.” Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.

大卫从前与非利士人同去、要与扫罗争战．有些玛拿西人来投奔大卫、他们却没有帮助非利士人．因为非利士人的首领、商议打发他们回去、说、恐怕大卫拿我们的首级、归降他的主人扫罗。

Some of Manasseh also joined David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle; but they didn’t help them; for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after consultation, saying, “He will desert to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.”

大卫往洗革拉去的时候、有玛拿西人的千夫长押拿、约撒拔、耶叠、米迦勒、约撒拔、以利户、洗勒太都来投奔他。

As he went to Ziklag, some from Manasseh joined him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of thousands who were of Manasseh.

这些人帮助大卫攻击群贼．他们都是大能的勇士、且作军长。

They helped David against the band of rovers; for they were all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the army.

那时、天天有人来帮助大卫、以致成了大军、如神的军一样。

For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like God’s army.

豫备打仗的兵来到希伯仑见大卫、要照着耶和华的话、将扫罗的国位归与大卫、他们的数目如下．

These are the numbers of the heads of those who were armed for war, who came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to Yahweh’s word.

犹大支派、拿盾牌和枪豫备打仗的、有六千八百人。

The children of Judah who bore shield and spear were six thousand eight hundred, armed for war.

西缅支派、能上阵大能的勇士、有七千一百人。

Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valor for the war, seven thousand one hundred.

利未支派有四千六百人。

Of the children of Levi four thousand six hundred.

耶何耶大是亚伦家的首领．跟从他的有三千七百人．

Jehoiada was the leader of the household of Aaron; and with him were three thousand seven hundred,

还有少年大能的勇士撒督．同着他的有族长二十二人。

and Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and of his father’s house twenty-two captains.

便雅悯支派、扫罗的族弟兄、也有三千人、他们向来大半归顺扫罗家。

Of the children of Benjamin, Saul’s relatives, three thousand: for until then, the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to Saul’s house.

以法莲支派、大能的勇士、在本族著名的有二万零八百人。

Of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers’ houses.

玛拿西半支派、册上有名的共一万八千人、都来立大卫作王。

Of the half-tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were mentioned by name, to come and make David king.

以萨迦支派、有二百族长、都通达时务、知道以色列人所当行的、他们族弟兄都听从他们的命令。

Of the children of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their heads were two hundred; and all their brothers were at their command.

西布伦支派、能上阵、用各样兵器打仗、行伍整齐、不生二心的、有五万人。

Of Zebulun, such as were able to go out in the army, who could set the battle in array, with all kinds of instruments of war, fifty thousand, and who could command and were not of double heart.

拿弗他利支派、有一千军长、跟从他们拿盾牌和枪的、有三万七千人。

Of Naphtali one thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty-seven thousand.

但支派、能摆阵的有二万八千六百人。

Of the Danites who could set the battle in array, twenty-eight thousand six hundred.

亚设支派、能上阵打仗的有四万人。

Of Asher, such as were able to go out in the army, who could set the battle in array, forty thousand.

约但河东的流便支派、迦得支派、玛拿西半支派、拿着各样兵器打仗的有十二万人。

On the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, the Gadites, and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, with all kinds of instruments of war for the battle, one hundred twenty thousand.

以上都是能守行伍的战士、他们都诚心来到希伯仑、要立大卫作以色列的王．以色列其馀的人也都一心要立大卫作王。

All these were men of war, who could order the battle array, and came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.

他们在那里三日、与大卫一同吃喝．因为他们的族弟兄给他们豫备了。

They were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brothers had supplied provisions for them.

靠近他们的人、以及以萨迦、西布伦、拿弗他利人、将许多面饼、无花果饼、干葡萄、酒、油、用驴、骆驼、骡子、牛、驮来、又带了许多的牛和羊来．因为以色列人甚是欢乐。

Moreover those who were near to them, as far as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, on camels, on mules, and on oxen: supplies of flour, cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, wine, oil, cattle, and sheep in abundance; for there was joy in Israel.

第13章

大卫与千夫长、百夫长、就是一切首领商议。

David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.

大卫对以色列全会众说、你们若以为美、见这事是出于耶和华我们的神、我们就差遣人走遍以色列地、见我们未来的弟兄、又见住在有郊野之城的祭司利未人、使他们都到这里来聚集．

David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is of Yahweh our God, let us send word everywhere to our brothers who are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, that they may gather themselves to us.

我们要把神的约柜运到我们这里来．因为在扫罗年间、我们没有在约柜前求问神。

Also, let us again bring the ark of our God back to us; for we didn’t seek it in the days of Saul.”

全会众都说、可以如此行．这事在众民眼中、都看为好。

All the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

于是大卫将以色列人、从埃及的西曷河、直到哈马口、都招聚了来、要从基列耶琳将神的约柜运来。

So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor the brook of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring God’s ark from Kiriath Jearim.

大卫率领以色列众人、上到巴拉、就是属犹大的基列耶琳、要从那里将约柜运来．这约柜就是坐在二基路伯上、耶和华神留名的约柜。

David went up with all Israel to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there God Yahweh’s ark that sits above the cherubim, that is called by the Name.

他们将神的约柜、从亚比拿达的家里抬出来、放在新车上．乌撒和亚希约赶车。

They carried God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house; and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.

大卫和以色列众人、在神前用琴、瑟、锣鼓、号、作乐、极力跳舞歌唱。

David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with cymbals, and with trumpets.

到了基顿的禾场、〈基顿撒母耳下六章六节作拿艮〉因为牛失前蹄、〈或作惊跳〉乌撒就伸手扶住约柜。

When they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

耶和华向他发怒、因他伸手扶住约柜击杀他、他就死在神面前。

Yahweh’s anger burned against Uzza, and he struck him, because he put his hand on the ark; and he died there before God.

大卫因耶和华击杀〈原文作闯杀〉乌撒、心里愁烦、就称那地方为毘列斯乌撒、直到今日。

David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken out against Uzza. He called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.

那日大卫惧怕神、说、神的约柜、怎可运到我这里来。

David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I bring God’s ark home to me?”

于是大卫不将约柜运进大卫的城、却运到迦特人俄别以东的家中。

So David didn’t move the ark with him into David’s city, but carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.

神的约柜在俄别以东家中三个月．耶和华赐福给俄别以东的家和他一切所有的。

God’s ark remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months; and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom’s house and all that he had.

第14章

推罗王希兰将香柏木运到大卫那里、又差遣使者、和石匠、木匠给大卫建造宫殿。

Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.

大卫就知道耶和华坚立他作以色列王、又为自己的民以色列、使他的国兴旺。

David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel’s sake.

大卫在耶路撒冷又立后妃、又生儿女。

David took more wives at Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters.

在耶路撒冷所生的众子、是沙母亚、朔罢、拿单、所罗门、

These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

益辖、以利书亚、以法列、

Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,

挪迦、尼斐、雅非亚、

Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,

以利沙玛、比利雅大、以利法列。

Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

非利士人听见大卫受膏作以色列众人的王、非利士众人就上来寻索大卫．大卫听见、就出去迎敌。

When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went out against them.

非利士人来了、布散在利乏音谷。

Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

大卫求问神、说、我可以上去攻打非利士人么．你将他们交在我手里么。耶和华说、你可以上去．我必将他们交在你手里。

David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” Yahweh said to him, “Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.”

非利士人来到巴力毘拉心、大卫在那里杀败他们．大卫说、神藉我的手冲破敌人、如同水冲去一般。因此称那地方为巴力毘拉心。

So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like waters breaking out. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

非利士人将神像撇在那里．大卫吩咐人用火焚烧了。

They left their gods there; and David gave a command, and they were burned with fire.

非利士人又布散在利乏音谷。

The Philistines made a another raid in the valley.

大卫又求问神．神说、不要一直的上去．要转到他们后头、从桑林对面攻打他们。

David inquired again of God; and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them opposite the mulberry trees.

你听见桑树梢上有脚步的声音、就要出战．因为神已经在你前头去攻打非利士人的军队。

When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”

大卫就遵着神所吩咐的、攻打非利士人的军队、从基遍直到基色。

David did as God commanded him; and they attacked the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

于是大卫的名传扬到列国．耶和华使列国都惧怕他。

The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.

第15章

大卫在大卫城为自己建造宫殿．又为神的约柜豫备地方、支搭帐幕。

David made himself houses in David’s city; and he prepared a place for God’s ark, and pitched a tent for it.

那时大卫说、除了利未人之外、无人可抬神的约柜．因为耶和华拣选他们抬神的约柜、且永远事奉他。

Then David said, “No one ought to carry God’s ark but the Levites. For Yahweh has chosen them to carry God’s ark, and to minister to him forever.”

大卫招聚以色列众人到耶路撒冷、要将耶和华的约柜抬到他所豫备的地方。

David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up Yahweh’s ark to its place, which he had prepared for it.

大卫又聚集亚伦的子孙、和利未人．

David gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites:

哥辖子孙中有族长乌列、和他的弟兄一百二十人．

of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brothers one hundred twenty;

米拉利子孙中、有族长亚帅雅、和他的弟兄二百二十人．

of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred twenty;

革顺子孙中、有族长约珥、和他的弟兄一百三十人。

of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brothers one hundred thirty;

以利撒反子孙中、有族长示玛雅、和他的弟兄二百人．

of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred;

希伯仑子孙中、有族长以列、和他的弟兄八十人．

of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brothers eighty;

乌薛子孙中、有族长亚米拿达、和他的弟兄一百一十二人。

of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brothers one hundred twelve.

大卫将祭司撒督和亚比亚他、并利未人乌列、亚帅雅、约珥、示玛雅、以列、亚米拿达召来、

David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab,

对他们说、你们是利未人的族长．你们和你们的弟兄、应当自洁、好将耶和华以色列神的约柜抬到我所豫备的地方。

and said to them, “You are the heads of the fathers’ households of the Levites. Sanctify yourselves, both you and your brothers, that you may bring the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel, up to the place that I have prepared for it.

因你们先前没有抬这约柜、按定例求问耶和华我们的神、所以他刑罚〈原文作闯杀〉我们．

For because you didn’t carry it at first, Yahweh our God broke out in anger against us, because we didn’t seek him according to the ordinance.”

于是祭司利未人自洁、好将耶和华以色列神的约柜抬上来。

So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

利未子孙就用杠、肩抬神的约柜、是照耶和华藉摩西所吩咐的。

The children of the Levites bore God’s ark on their shoulders with its poles, as Moses commanded according to Yahweh’s word.

大卫吩咐利未人的族长、派他们歌唱的弟兄、用琴瑟和钹作乐、欢欢喜喜的大声歌颂。

David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers as singers with instruments of music, stringed instruments, harps, and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up their voices with joy.

于是利未人派约珥的儿子希幔、和他弟兄中比利家的儿子亚萨、并他们族弟兄米拉利子孙里古沙雅的儿子以探。

So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brothers, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brothers, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;

其次还有他们的弟兄撒迦利雅、便、雅薛、示米拉末、耶歇、乌尼、以利押、比拿雅、玛西雅、玛他提雅、以利斐利户、弥克尼雅、并守门的俄别以东和耶利。

and with them their brothers of the second rank, Zechariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers.

这样、派歌唱的希幔、亚萨、以探、敲铜钹、大发响声．

So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were given cymbals of brass to sound aloud;

派撒迦利雅、雅薛、示米拉末、耶歇、乌尼、以利押、玛西雅、比拿雅、鼓瑟、调用女音．

and Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with stringed instruments set to Alamoth;

又派玛他提雅、以利斐利户、弥克尼雅、俄别以东、耶利、亚撒西雅、领首弹琴、调用第八。

and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps tuned to the eight-stringed lyre, to lead.

利未人的族长基拿尼雅、是歌唱人的首领．又教训人歌唱、因为他精通此事。

Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the singing. He taught the singers, because he was skillful.

比利家、以利加拿、是约柜前守门的。

Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

祭司示巴尼、约沙法、拿坦业、亚玛赛、撒迦利雅、比拿亚、以利以谢、在神的约柜前吹号．俄别以东和耶希亚也是约柜前守门的。

Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, blew the trumpets before God’s ark; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.

于是大卫和以色列的长老、并千夫长、都去从俄别以东的家欢欢喜喜的将耶和华的约柜抬上来。

So David, the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring the ark of Yahweh’s covenant up out of the house of Obed-Edom with joy.

神赐恩与抬耶和华约柜的利未人、他们就献上七只公牛、七只公羊。

When God helped the Levites who bore the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.

大卫和抬约柜的利未人、并歌唱人的首领基拿尼雅、以及歌唱的人、都穿着细麻布的外袍．大卫另外穿着细麻布的以弗得。

David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who bore the ark, the singers, and Chenaniah the choir master with the singers; and David had an ephod of linen on him.

这样、以色列众人欢呼吹角、吹号、敲钹、鼓瑟、弹琴、大发响声、将耶和华的约柜抬上来。

Thus all Israel brought the ark of Yahweh’s covenant up with shouting, with sound of the cornet, with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with stringed instruments and harps.

耶和华的约柜进了大卫城的时候、扫罗的女儿米甲从窗户里观看、见大卫王踊跃跳舞、心里就轻视他。

As the ark of Yahweh’s covenant came to David’s city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart.

第16章

众人将神的约柜请进去、安放在大卫所搭的帐幕里、就在神面前献燔祭、和平安祭。

They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.

大卫献完了燔祭和平安祭、就奉耶和华的名给民祝福．

When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in Yahweh’s name.

并且分给以色列人、无论男女、每人一个饼、一块肉、一个葡萄饼。

He gave to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.

大卫派几个利未人在耶和华的约柜前事奉、颂扬、称谢、赞美耶和华以色列的神．

He appointed some of the Levites to minister before Yahweh’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank, and to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel:

为首的是亚萨、其次是撒迦利雅、雅薛、示米拉末、耶歇、玛他提雅、以利押、比拿雅、俄别以东、耶利、鼓瑟弹琴．惟有亚萨敲钹、大发响声．

Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;

祭司比拿雅和雅哈悉常在神的约柜前吹号。

with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.

那日大卫初次藉亚萨和他的弟兄、以诗歌称颂耶和华、说、

Then on that day David first ordained to give thanks to Yahweh, by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.

你们要称谢耶和华、求告他的名、在万民中传扬他的作为。

Oh give thanks to Yahweh. Call on his name. Make what he has done known among the peoples.

要向他唱诗、歌颂、谈论他一切奇妙的作为。

Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.

要以他的圣名夸耀．寻求耶和华的人心中应当欢喜。

Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.

要寻求耶和华与他的能力．时常寻求他的面。

Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.

他仆人以色列的后裔、他所拣选雅各的子孙哪、你们要记念他奇妙的作为、和他的奇事、并他口中的判语。

Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

他仆人以色列的后裔、他所拣选雅各的子孙哪、你们要记念他奇妙的作为、和他的奇事、并他口中的判语。

you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

他是耶和华我们的神．全地都有他的判断。

He is Yahweh our God. His judgments are in all the earth.

你们要记念他的约、直到永远、他所吩咐的话、直到千代、

Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

就是与亚伯拉罕所立的约、向以撒所起的誓．

the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.

他又将这约向雅各定为律例．向以色列定为永远的约、

He confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

说、我必将迦南地赐给你、作你产业的分．

saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”

当时你们人丁有限、数目稀少、并且在那地为寄居的．

when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners were in it.

他们从这邦游到那邦、从这国行到那国。

They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.

耶和华不容甚么人欺负他们．为他们的缘故责备君王、

He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,

说、不可难为我受膏的人、也不可恶待我的先知。

“Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”

全地都要向耶和华歌唱、天天传扬他的救恩。

Sing to Yahweh, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.

在列邦中述说他的荣耀、在万民中述说他的奇事。

Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.

因耶和华为大、当受极大的赞美．他在万神之上当受敬畏。

For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.

外邦的神都属虚无．惟独耶和华创造诸天。

For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.

有尊荣和威严在他面前．有能力和喜乐在他圣所。

Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.

民中的万族阿、你们要将荣耀能力归给耶和华、都归给耶和华．

Ascribe to Yahweh, you relatives of the peoples, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!

要将耶和华的名所当得的荣耀归给他．拿供物来奉到他面前．当以圣洁的妆饰〈的或作为〉敬拜耶和华。

Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship Yahweh in holy array.

全地要在他面前战抖．世界也坚定不得动摇。

Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can’t be moved.

愿天欢喜、愿地快乐．愿人在列邦中说、耶和华作王了。

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns!”

愿海和其中所充满的澎湃．愿田、和其中所有的都欢乐。

Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!

那时、林中的树木都要在耶和华面前欢呼．因为他来要审判全地。

Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Yahweh, for he comes to judge the earth.

应当称谢耶和华．因他本为善．他的慈爱永远长存。

Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

要说、拯救我们的神阿、求你救我们、聚集我们、使我们脱离外邦、我们好称赞你的圣名、以赞美你为夸胜。

Say, “Save us, God of our salvation! Gather us together and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise.”

耶和华以色列的神、从亘古直到永远、是应当称颂的。众民都说、阿们．并且赞美耶和华。

Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised Yahweh.

大卫派亚萨和他的弟兄、在约柜前常常事奉耶和华、一日尽一日的职分．

So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required;

又派俄别以东和他的弟兄、六十八人、与耶杜顿的儿子俄别以东、并何萨作守门的．

and Obed-Edom with their brothers, sixty-eight; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;

且派祭司撒督和他弟兄众祭司、在基遍的邱坛耶和华的帐幕前、燔祭坛上、每日早晚、照着耶和华律法书上所吩咐以色列人的、常给耶和华献燔祭．

and Zadok the priest, and his brothers the priests, before Yahweh’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,

且派祭司撒督和他弟兄众祭司、在基遍的邱坛耶和华的帐幕前、燔祭坛上、每日早晚、照着耶和华律法书上所吩咐以色列人的、常给耶和华献燔祭．

to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in Yahweh’s law, which he commanded to Israel;

与他们一同被派的有希幔、耶杜顿、和其馀被选名字录在册上的、称谢耶和华、因他的慈爱永远长存．

and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Yahweh, because his loving kindness endures forever;

希幔、耶杜顿同着他们吹号、敲钹、大发响声、并用别的乐器随着歌颂神．耶杜顿的子孙作守门的。

and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.

于是众民各归各家．大卫也回去为家眷祝福。

All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.

第17章

大卫住在自己宫中、对先知拿单说、看哪、我住在香柏木的宫中、耶和华的约柜反在幔子里。

When David lived in his house, David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of Yahweh’s covenant is in a tent.”

拿单对大卫说、你可以照你的心意而行．因为神与你同在。

Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.”

当夜神的话临到拿单、说、

That same night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

你去告诉我仆人大卫说、耶和华如此说、你不可建造殿宇给我居住。

“Go and tell David my servant, ‘Yahweh says, “You shall not build me a house to dwell in;

自从我领以色列人出埃及、直到今日、我未曾住过殿宇、乃从这会幕到那会幕、从这帐幕到那帐幕。

for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tent to another.

凡我同以色列人所走的地方、我何曾向以色列的一个士师、就是我吩咐牧养我民的说、你为何不给我建造香柏木的殿宇呢。

In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’

现在你要告诉我仆人大卫说、万军之耶和华如此说、我从羊圈中将你召来、叫你不再跟从羊群、立你作我民以色列的君．

“Now therefore, you shall tell my servant David, ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people Israel.

你无论往那里去、我常与你同在、剪除你的一切仇敌．我必使你得大名、好像世上大大有名的人一样。

I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.

我必为我民以色列选定一个地方、栽培他们、使他们住自己的地方、不再迁移．凶恶之子也不像从前扰害他们、

I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more. The children of wickedness will not waste them any more, as at the first,

并不像我命士师治理我民以色列的时候一样．我必治服你的一切仇敌、并且我耶和华应许你、必为你建立家室。

and from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that Yahweh will build you a house.

你寿数满足归你列祖的时候、我必使你的后裔接续你的位、我也必坚定他的国。

It will happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your offspring after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

他必为我建造殿宇、我必坚定他的国位直到永远。

He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

我要作他的父、他要作我的子．并不使我的慈爱离开他、像离开在你以前的扫罗一样。

I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before you;

我却要将他永远坚立在我家里、和我国里．他的国位也必坚定、直到永远。

but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne will be established forever.”’”

拿单就按这一切话、照这默示告诉大卫。

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

于是大卫王进去、坐在耶和华面前、说、耶和华神阿、我是谁、我的家算甚么、你竟使我到这地步呢。

Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?

神阿、这在你眼中还看为小、又应许你仆人的家至于久远．耶和华神阿、你看顾我好像看顾高贵的人。

This was a small thing in your eyes, God; but you have spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have respected me according to the standard of a man of high degree, Yahweh God.

你加于仆人的尊荣、我还有何言可说呢．因为你知道你的仆人。

What can David say yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant.

耶和华阿、你行了这大事、并且显明出来、是因你仆人的缘故、也是照你的心意。

Yahweh, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.

耶和华阿、照我们耳中听见、没有可比你的、除你以外再无神。

Yahweh, there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

世上有何民能比你的民以色列呢．你神从埃及救赎他们作自己的子民、又在你赎出来的民面前行大而可畏的事、驱逐列邦人、显出你的大名。

What one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make you a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeem out of Egypt?

你使以色列人作你的子民、直到永远．你耶和华也作他们的神。

For you made your people Israel your own people forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.

耶和华阿、你所应许仆人和仆人家的话、求你坚定、直到永远、照你所说的而行。

Now, Yahweh, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken.

愿你的名永远坚立、被尊为大、说、万军之耶和华是以色列的神．是治理以色列的神。这样、你仆人大卫的家、必在你面前坚立。

Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel. The house of David your servant is established before you.’

我的神阿、因你启示仆人说、我必为你建立家室、所以仆人大胆在你面前祈祷．

For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.

耶和华阿、惟有你是神、你也应许将这福气赐给仆人．

Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your servant.

现在你喜悦赐福与仆人的家、可以永存在你面前．耶和华阿、你已经赐福、还要赐福到永远。

Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Yahweh, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”

第18章

此后、大卫攻打非利士人、把他们治服、从他们手下夺取了迦特、和属迦特的村庄．

After this, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines.

又攻打摩押、摩押人就归服大卫、给他进贡。

He defeated Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.

琐巴王哈大利谢、〈撒母耳下八章三节作哈大底谢〉往伯拉河去、要坚定自己的国权、大卫就攻打他、直到哈马．

David defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah to Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

夺了他的战车一千、马兵七千、步兵二万、将拉战车的马砍断蹄筋．但留下一百辆车的马。

David took from him one thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them enough for one hundred chariots.

大马色的亚兰人来帮助琐巴王哈大利谢、大卫就杀了亚兰人二万二千。

When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians.

于是大卫在大马色的亚兰地设立防营、亚兰人就归服他、给他进贡。大卫无论往那里去、耶和华都使他得胜。

Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought tribute. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.

他夺了哈大利谢臣仆所拿的金盾牌、带到耶路撒冷。

David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

大卫又从属哈大利谢的提巴、〈提巴或作比他〉和均二城中、夺取了许多的铜．后来所罗门用此制造铜海、铜柱、和一切的铜器。

From Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took very much brass, with which Solomon made the bronze sea, the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

哈马王陀乌听见大卫杀败琐巴王哈大利谢的全军、

When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,

就打发他儿子哈多兰去见大卫王、问他的安、为他祝福、因为他杀败了哈大利谢、原来陀乌与哈大利谢常常争战．哈多兰带了金银铜的各样器皿来。

he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to Greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him (for Hadadezer had wars with Tou); and he had with him all kinds of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

大卫王将这些器皿、并从各国夺来的金银、就是从以东、摩押、亚扪、非利士、亚玛力人所夺来的、都分别为圣献给耶和华。

King David also dedicated these to Yahweh, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; from Edom, from Moab, from the children of Ammon, from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

洗鲁雅的儿子亚比筛在盐谷击杀了以东一万八千人。

Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

大卫在以东地设立防营、以东人就都归服他。大卫无论往那里去、耶和华都使他得胜。

He put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.

大卫作以色列众人的王．又向众民秉公行义。

David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness for all his people.

洗鲁雅的儿子约押作元帅．亚希律的儿子约沙法作史官．

Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

亚希突的儿子撒督、和亚比亚他的儿子亚希米勒作祭司长．沙威沙作书记．

Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; Shavsha was scribe;

耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅统辖基利提人和比利提人．大卫的众子都在王的左右作领袖。

and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief officials serving the king.

第19章

此后、亚扪人的王拿辖死了、他儿子接续他作王。

After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.

大卫说、我要照哈嫩的父亲拿辖厚待我的恩典厚待哈嫩。于是大卫差遣使者为他丧父安慰他。大卫的臣仆到了亚扪人的境内见哈嫩、要安慰他、

David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

但亚扪人的首领对哈嫩说、大卫差人来安慰你、你想他是尊敬你父亲么．他的臣仆来见你不是为详察窥探、倾覆这地么。

But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?”

哈嫩便将大卫臣仆的胡须剃去一半、又割断他们下半截的衣服、使他们露出下体、打发他们回去。

So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away.

有人将臣仆所遇的事告诉大卫、他就差人去迎接他们、因为他们甚觉羞耻．告诉他们说、可以住在耶利哥等到胡须长起再回来。

Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”

亚扪人知道大卫憎恶他们、哈嫩和亚扪人就打发人、拿一千他连得银子、从米所波大米、亚兰玛迦、琐巴、雇战车和马兵。

When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.

于是雇了三万二千辆战车和玛迦王并他的军兵．他们来安营在米底巴前。亚扪人也从他们的城里出来、聚集交战。

So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people, who came and encamped near Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.

大卫听见了、就差派约押、统带勇猛的全军出去。

When David heard of it, he sent Joab with all the army of the mighty men.

亚扪人出来、在城门前摆阵．所来的诸王另在郊野摆阵。

The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city; and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.

约押看见敌人在他前后摆阵、就从以色列军中挑选精兵、使他们对着亚兰人摆阵。

Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose some of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.

其馀的兵交与他兄弟亚比筛、对着亚扪人摆阵。

The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.

约押对亚比筛说、亚兰人若强过我、你就来帮助我．亚扪人若强过你、我就去帮助你。

He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.

我们都当刚强、为本国的民、和神的城邑、作大丈夫．愿耶和华凭他的意旨而行。

Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May Yahweh do that which seems good to him.”

于是约押和跟随他的人前进攻打亚兰人．亚兰人在约押面前逃跑。

So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.

亚扪人见亚兰人逃跑、他们也在约押的兄弟亚比筛面前逃跑进城．约押就回耶路撒冷去了。

When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

亚兰人见自己被以色列人打败、就打发使者将大河那边的亚兰人调来、哈大利谢的将军朔法率领他们。

When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and called out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer leading them.

有人告诉大卫、他就聚集以色列众人、过约但河、来到亚兰人那里、迎着他们摆阵。大卫既摆阵攻击亚兰人、亚兰人就与他打仗。

David was told that; so he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, came to them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.

亚兰人在以色列人面前逃跑．大卫杀了亚兰七千辆战车的人、四万步兵．又杀了亚兰的将军朔法。

The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrian men seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and also killed Shophach the captain of the army.

属哈大利谢的诸王见自己被以色列人打败、就与大卫和好、归服他．于是亚兰人不敢再帮助亚扪人了。

When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and served him. The Syrians would not help the children of Ammon any more.

第20章

过了一年、到列王出战的时候、约押率领军兵、毁坏亚扪人的地、围攻拉巴。大卫仍住在耶路撒冷。约押攻打拉巴将城倾覆。

At the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, Joab led out the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.

大卫夺了亚扪人之王所戴的金冠冕、〈王或作玛勒堪玛勒堪即米勒公亚扪族之神名〉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．

David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. It was set on David’s head, and he brought very much plunder out of the city.

将城里的人拉出来、放在锯下、或铁耙下、或铁斧下〈或作强他们用锯或用打粮食的铁器或用铁斧作工〉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。

He brought out the people who were in it, and had them cut with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

后来、以色列人在基色与非利士人打仗．户沙人西比该杀了伟人的一个儿子细派．非利士人就被制伏了。

After this, war arose at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.

又与非利士人打仗．睚珥的儿子伊勒哈难、杀了迦特人歌利亚的兄弟拉哈米．这人的枪杆粗如织布的机轴。

Again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

又在迦特打仗、那里有一个身量高大的人、手脚都是六指、共有二十四个指头．他也是伟人的儿子。

There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.

这人向以色列人骂阵、大卫的哥哥示米亚的儿子约拿单就杀了他。

When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother killed him.

这三个人是迦特伟人的儿子．都死在大卫和他仆人的手下。

These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

第21章

撒但起来攻击以色列人、激动大卫数点他们。

Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to take a census of Israel.

大卫就吩咐约押、和民中的首领、说、你们去数点以色列人、从别是巴直到但、回来告诉我、我好知道他们的数目。

David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, “Go, count Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know how many there are.”

约押说、愿耶和华使他的百姓比现在加增百倍。我主我王阿、他们不都是你的仆人么．我主为何吩咐行这事、为何使以色列人陷在罪里呢。

Joab said, “May Yahweh make his people a hundred times as many as they are. But, my lord the king, aren’t they all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?”

但王的命令胜过约押。约押就出去、走遍以色列地、回到耶路撒冷、

Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, then came to Jerusalem.

将百姓的总数奏告大卫。以色列人拿刀的、有一百一十万．犹大人拿刀的、有四十七万。

Joab gave up the sum of the census of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew a sword; and in Judah were four hundred seventy thousand men who drew a sword.

惟有利未人和便雅悯人没有数在其中．因为约押厌恶王的这命令。

But he didn’t count Levi and Benjamin among them; for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.

神不喜悦这数点百姓的事、便降灾给以色列人。

God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel.

大卫祷告神说、我行这事大有罪了．现在求你除掉仆人的罪孽．因我所行的甚是愚昧。

David said to God, “I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.”

耶和华吩咐大卫的先见迦得说、

Yahweh spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying,

你去告诉大卫说、耶和华如此说、我有三样灾、随你选择一样、我好降与你。

“Go and speak to David, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”

于是迦得来见大卫、对他说、耶和华如此说、你可以随意选择．

So Gad came to David, and said to him, “Yahweh says, ‘Take your choice:

或三年的饥荒、或败在你敌人面前、被敌人的刀追杀三个月、或在你国中有耶和华的刀、就是三日的瘟疫、耶和华的使者在以色列的四境施行毁灭。现在你要想一想、我好回复那差我来的。

either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days the sword of Yahweh, even pestilence in the land, and Yahweh’s angel destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.’”

大卫对迦得说、我甚为难．我愿落在耶和华的手里、因为他有丰盛的怜悯．我不愿落在人的手里。

David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into Yahweh’s hand; for his mercies are very great. Don’t let me fall into man’s hand.”

于是耶和华降瘟疫与以色列人．以色列人就死了七万。

So Yahweh sent a pestilence on Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.

神差遣使者去灭耶路撒冷．刚要灭的时候、耶和华看见后悔、就不降这灾了、吩咐灭城的天使说、彀了、住手罢。那时耶和华的使者站在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场那里。

God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy, Yahweh saw, and he relented of the disaster, and said to the destroying angel, “It is enough. Now withdraw your hand.” Yahweh’s angel was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

大卫举目、看见耶和华的使者站在天地间、手里有拔出来的刀、伸在耶路撒冷以上。大卫和长老都身穿麻衣、面伏于地。

David lifted up his eyes, and saw Yahweh’s angel standing between earth and the sky, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.

大卫祷告神说、吩咐数点百姓的不是我么．我犯了罪、行了恶．但这群羊作了甚么呢．愿耶和华我神的手攻击我、和我的父家．不要攻击你的民、降瘟疫与他们。

David said to God, “Isn’t it I who commanded the people to be counted? It is even I who have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, O Yahweh my God, be against me, and against my father’s house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued.”

耶和华的使者吩咐迦得去告诉大卫、叫他上去、在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场上、为耶和华筑一座坛。

Then Yahweh’s angel commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up and raise an altar to Yahweh on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

大卫就照着迦得奉耶和华名所说的话上去了。

David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in Yahweh’s name.

那时阿珥楠正打麦子．回头看见天使、就和他四个儿子都藏起来了。

Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.

大卫到了阿珥楠那里、阿珥楠看见大卫、就从禾场上出去、脸伏于地、向他下拜。

As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.

大卫对阿珥楠说、你将这禾场与相连之地卖给我．我必给你足价、我好在其上为耶和华筑一座坛、使民间的瘟疫止住。

Then David said to Ornan, “Give me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar to Yahweh on it. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.”

阿珥楠对大卫说、你可以用这禾场、愿我主我王照你所喜悦的去行．我也将牛给你作燔祭、把打粮的器具当柴烧、拿麦子作素祭．这些我都送给你。

Ornan said to David, “Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Behold, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all.”

大卫王对阿珥楠说、不然、我必要用足价向你买．我不用你的物献给耶和华、也不用白得之物献为燔祭。

King David said to Ornan, “No; but I will most certainly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is yours for Yahweh, nor offer a burnt offering that costs me nothing.”

于是大卫为那块地平了六百舍客勒金子给阿珥楠。

So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.

大卫在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛、献燔祭和平安祭、求告耶和华．耶和华就应允他、使火从天降在燔祭坛上。

David built an altar to Yahweh there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on Yahweh; and he answered him from the sky by fire on the altar of burnt offering.

耶和华吩咐使者、他就收刀入鞘。

Then Yahweh commanded the angel, and he put his sword back into its sheath.

那时大卫见耶和华在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场上应允了他、就在那里献祭。

At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.

摩西在旷野所造之耶和华的帐幕和燔祭坛都在基遍的高处。

For Yahweh’s tabernacle, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.

只是大卫不敢前去求问神．因为惧怕耶和华使者的刀。

But David couldn’t go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of Yahweh’s angel.

第22章

大卫吩咐聚集住以色列地的外邦人、从其中派石匠凿石头、要建造神的殿。

Then David said, “This is the house of Yahweh God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”

大卫豫备许多铁、作门上的钉子和钩子．又豫备许多铜、多得无法可称．

David gave orders to gather together the foreigners who were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to cut dressed stones to build God’s house.

又豫备无数的香柏木．因为西顿人和推罗人、给大卫运了许多香柏木来。

David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the couplings; and brass in abundance without weight;

大卫说、我儿子所罗门、还年幼娇嫩、要为耶和华建造的殿宇、必须高大辉煌、使名誉荣耀、传遍万国．所以我要为殿豫备材料。于是大卫在未死之先豫备的材料甚多。

and cedar trees without number, for the Sidonians and the people of Tyre brought cedar trees in abundance to David.

大卫召了他儿子所罗门来、嘱咐他给耶和华以色列的神建造殿宇．

David said, “Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for Yahweh must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore make preparation for it.” So David prepared abundantly before his death.

对所罗门说、我儿阿、我心里本想为耶和华我神的名建造殿宇。

Then he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build a house for Yahweh, the God of Israel.

只是耶和华的话临到我、说、你流了多人的血、打了多次大仗．你不可为我的名建造殿宇、因为你在我眼前使多人的血流在地上。

David said to Solomon his son, “As for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of Yahweh my God.

你要生一个儿子．他必作太平的人．我必使他安静、不被四围的仇敌扰乱．他的名要叫所罗门．〈即太平之意〉他在位的日子、我必使以色列人平安康泰。

But Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, ‘You have shed blood abundantly, and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.

他必为我的名建造殿宇．他要作我的子、我要作他的父．他作以色列王、我必坚定他的国位、直到永远。

Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of peace. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.

我儿阿、现今愿耶和华与你同在、使你亨通、照他指着你说的话、建造耶和华你神的殿。

He shall build a house for my name; and he will be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.’

但愿耶和华赐你聪明智慧、好治理以色列国、遵行耶和华你神的律法。

Now, my son, may Yahweh be with you and prosper you, and build the house of Yahweh your God, as he has spoken concerning you.

你若谨守遵行耶和华藉摩西吩咐以色列的律例典章、就得亨通．你当刚强壮胆、不要惧怕、也不要惊惶。

May Yahweh give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel; that so you may keep the law of Yahweh your God.

我在困难之中为耶和华的殿豫备了金子十万他连得、银子一百万他连得、铜和铁、多得无法可称．我也豫备了木头、石头、你还可以增添。

Then you will prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which Yahweh gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid, and don’t be dismayed.

你有许多匠人、就是石匠、木匠、和一切能作各样工的巧匠．

Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for Yahweh’s house one hundred thousand talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance. I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may add to them.

并有无数的金、银、铜、铁。你当起来办事．愿耶和华与你同在。

There are also workmen with you in abundance, cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful in every kind of work;

大卫又吩咐以色列的众首领帮助他儿子所罗门、说、

of the gold, the silver, the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may Yahweh be with you.”

耶和华你们的神不是与你们同在么．不是叫你们四围都平安么．因他已将这地的居民交在我手中．这地就在耶和华与他百姓面前制伏了。

David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

现在你们应当立定心意、寻求耶和华你们的神．也当起来建造耶和华神的圣所、好将耶和华的约柜、和供奉神的圣器皿、都搬进为耶和华名建造的殿里。

“Isn’t Yahweh your God with you? Hasn’t he given you rest on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before Yahweh, and before his people.

Now set your heart and your soul to follow Yahweh your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of Yahweh God, to bring the ark of Yahweh’s covenant and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for Yahweh’s name.”

第23章

大卫年纪老迈、日子满足、就立他儿子所罗门作以色列的王。

Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

大卫招聚以色列的众首领、和祭司利未人。

He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

利未人从三十岁以外的都被数点、他们男丁的数目、共有三万八千。

The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.

其中有二万四千人、管理耶和华殿的事．有六千人作官长和士师．

David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of Yahweh’s house, six thousand were officers and judges,

有四千人作守门的．又有四千人用大卫所作的乐器颂赞耶和华。

four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised Yahweh with the instruments which I made for giving praise.”

大卫将利未人革顺、哥辖、米拉利的子孙、分了班次。

David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

革顺的子孙有拉但和示每。

Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.

拉但的长子是耶歇、还有细坦和约珥、共三人。

The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, Zetham, and Joel, three.

示每的儿子是示罗密、哈薛、哈兰三人。这是拉但族的族长。

The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.

示每的儿子是雅哈、细拿、耶乌施、比利亚、共四人。

The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

雅哈是长子、细撒是次子．但耶乌施和比利亚的子孙不多．所以算为一族。

Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah didn’t have many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning.

哥辖的儿子是暗兰、以斯哈、希伯伦、乌薛共四人。

The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

暗兰的儿子是亚伦、摩西．亚伦和他的子孙分出来、好分别至圣的物、在耶和华面前烧香、事奉他、奉他的名祝福、直到永远。

The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, forever, to burn incense before Yahweh, to minister to him, and to bless in his name, forever.

至于神人摩西、他的子孙、名字记在利未支派的册上。

But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.

摩西的儿子是革舜和以利以谢．

The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.

革舜的长子是细布业．

The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.

以利以谢的儿子是利哈比雅、以利以谢没有别的儿子．但利哈比雅的子孙甚多。

The sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

以斯哈的长子是示罗密。

The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.

希伯伦的长子是耶利雅．次子是亚玛利亚．三子是雅哈悉．四子是耶加面。

The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

乌薛的长子是米迦．次子是耶西雅。

The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.

米拉利的儿子是抹利、母示、抹利的儿子是以利亚撒、基士。

The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.

以利亚撒死了、没有儿子、只有女儿．他们本族基士的儿子娶了他们为妻。

Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their brothers the sons of Kish took them as wives.

母示的儿子是末力、以得、耶利摩共三人。

The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth, three.

以上利未子孙作族长的、照着男丁的数目、从二十岁以外、都办耶和华殿的事务。

These were the sons of Levi after their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of Yahweh’s house, from twenty years old and upward.

大卫说、耶和华以色列的神、已经使他的百姓平安．他永远住在耶路撒冷。

For David said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.

利未人不必再抬帐幕、和其中所用的一切器皿了。

Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”

照着大卫临终所吩咐的、利未人从二十岁以外的、都被数点。

For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were counted, from twenty years old and upward.

他们的职任、是服事亚伦的子孙、在耶和华的殿、和院子、并屋中办事、洁净一切圣物、就是办神殿的事务．

For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of Yahweh’s house, in the courts, and in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God’s house;

并管理陈设饼、素祭的细面、或无酵薄饼、或用盘烤、或用油调和的物、又管理各样的升斗尺度．

for the show bread also, and for the fine flour for a meal offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all measurements of quantity and size;

每日早晚、站立称谢赞美耶和华．

and to stand every morning to thank and praise Yahweh, and likewise in the evening;

又在安息日、月朔、并节期、按数照例、将燔祭常常献给耶和华．

and to offer all burnt offerings to Yahweh, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Yahweh;

又看守会幕、和圣所、并守耶和华吩咐他们弟兄亚伦子孙的、办耶和华殿的事。

and that they should keep the duty of the Tent of Meeting, the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the service of Yahweh’s house.

第24章

亚伦子孙的班次、记在下面．亚伦的儿子是拿答、亚比户、以利亚撒、以他玛。

These were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

拿答、亚比户死在他们父亲之先、没有留下儿子．故此、以利亚撒、以他玛供祭司的职分。

But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest’s office.

以利亚撒的子孙撒督、和以他玛的子孙亚希米勒、同着大卫将他们的族弟兄、分成班次。

David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service.

以利亚撒子孙中为首的、比以他玛子孙中为首的更多．分班如下．以利亚撒的子孙中、有十六个族长．以他玛的子孙中、有八个族长．

There were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and they were divided like this: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads of fathers’ houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers’ houses, eight.

都掣签分立、彼此一样．在圣所和神面前作首领的、有以利亚撒的子孙、也有以他玛的子孙。

Thus were they divided impartially by drawing lots; for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.

作书记的利未人拿坦业的儿子示玛雅在王和首领、与祭司撒督、亚比亚他的儿子亚希米勒、并祭司利未人的族长面前、记录他们的名字．在以利亚撒的子孙中取一族、在以他玛的子孙中取一族。

Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, the princes, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the priests and of the Levites; one fathers’ house being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.

掣签的时候、第一掣出来的是耶何雅立、第二是耶大雅、

Now the first lot came out to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,

第三是哈琳、第四是梭琳、

the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,

the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,

第七是哈歌斯、第八是亚比雅、

the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,

第九是耶书亚、第十是示迦尼、

the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,

the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,

第十三是胡巴、第十四是耶是比押、

the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,

第十五是璧迦、第十六是音麦、

the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,

第十七是希悉、第十八是哈辟悉、

the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez,

第十九是毘他希雅、第二十是以西结、

the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel,

第二十一是雅斤、第二十二是迦末、

the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul,

第二十三是第来雅、第二十四是玛西亚。

the twenty-third to Delaiah, and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.

这就是他们的班次、要照耶和华以色列的神藉他们祖宗亚伦所吩咐的条例、进入耶和华的殿、办理事务。

This was their ordering in their service, to come into Yahweh’s house according to the ordinance given to them by Aaron their father, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, had commanded him.

利未其馀的子孙如下．暗兰的子孙里有书巴业．书巴业的子孙里有耶希底亚．

Of the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.

利哈比雅的子孙里有长子伊示雅．

Of Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, Isshiah the chief.

以斯哈的子孙里有示罗摩．示罗摩的子孙里有雅哈．

Of the Izharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath.

希伯伦的子孙里有长子耶利雅、次子亚玛利亚、三子雅哈悉、四子耶加面。

The sons of Hebron: Jeriah, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

乌薛的子孙里有米迦．米迦的子孙里有沙密。

The sons of Uzziel: Micah; of the sons of Micah, Shamir.

米迦的兄弟是伊示雅．伊示雅的子孙里有撒迦利雅。

The brother of Micah: Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah.

米拉利的儿子是抹利、母示、雅西雅．雅西雅的儿子有比挪．

The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The son of Jaaziah: Beno.

米拉利的子孙里有雅西雅的儿子比挪、朔含、撒刻、伊比利。

The sons of Merari: of Jaaziah, Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri.

抹利的儿子是以利亚撒．以利亚撒没有儿子。

Of Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons.

基士的子孙里有耶拉篾。

Of Kish, the son of Kish: Jerahmeel.

母示的儿子是末力、以得、耶利摩。按着宗族这都是利未的子孙。

The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after their fathers’ houses.

他们在大卫王和撒督、并亚希米勒、与祭司利未人的族长面前掣签、正如他们弟兄亚伦的子孙一般．各族的长者与兄弟没有分别。

These likewise cast lots even as their brothers the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the priests and of the Levites; the fathers’ households of the chief even as those of his younger brother.

第25章

大卫和众首领分派亚萨、希幔并耶杜顿的子孙、弹琴、鼓瑟、敲钹、唱歌。〈唱歌原文作说豫言本章同〉他们供职的人数、记在下面．

Moreover, David and the captains of the army set apart for the service certain of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who were to prophesy with harps, with stringed instruments, and with cymbals. The number of those who did the work according to their service was:

亚萨的儿子撒刻、约瑟、尼探雅、亚萨利拉、都归亚萨指教、遵王的旨意唱歌。

of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah. The sons of Asaph were under the hand of Asaph, who prophesied at the order of the king.

耶杜顿的儿子基大利、西利、耶筛亚、哈沙比雅、玛他提雅、示每共六人、都归他们父亲耶杜顿指教、弹琴、唱歌、称谢、颂赞耶和华。

Of Jeduthun; the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising Yahweh with the harp.

这都是希幔的儿子、吹角颂赞。希幔奉神之命作王的先见。神赐给希幔十四个儿子、三个女儿．

All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

都归他们父亲指教、在耶和华的殿唱歌、敲钹、弹琴、鼓瑟、办神殿的事务．亚萨、耶杜顿、希幔都是王所命定的。

All these were under the hands of their father for song in Yahweh’s house, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the service of God’s house; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the order of the king.

他们和他们的弟兄学习颂赞耶和华．善于歌唱的、共有二百八十八人。

The number of them, with their brothers who were instructed in singing to Yahweh, even all who were skillful, was two hundred eighty-eight.

But David didn’t take the number of them from twenty years old and under, because Yahweh had said he would increase Israel like the stars of the sky.

洗鲁雅的儿子约押动手数点、当时耶和华的烈怒、临到以色列人．因此、没有点完、数目也没有写在大卫王记上。

第28章

大卫招聚以色列各支派的首领、和轮班服事王的军长、与千夫长、百夫长、掌管王和王子产业牲畜的、并太监、以及大能的勇士、都到耶路撒冷来。

David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, the captains of the companies who served the king by division, the captains of thousands, the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valor, to Jerusalem.

大卫王就站起来、说、我的弟兄、我的百姓阿、你们当听我言、我心里本想建造殿宇、安放耶和华的约柜、作为我神的脚凳．我已经豫备建造的材料。

Then David the king stood up on his feet, and said, “Hear me, my brothers, and my people! As for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building.

只是神对我说、你不可为我的名建造殿宇、因你是战士、流了人的血。

But God said to me, ‘You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war, and have shed blood.’

然而耶和华以色列的神、在我父的全家拣选我作以色列的王、直到永远．因他拣选犹大为首领、在犹大支派中拣选我父家、在我父的众子里喜悦我、立我作以色列众人的王。

However Yahweh, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.

耶和华赐我许多儿子．在我儿子中、拣选所罗门坐耶和华的国位、治理以色列人。

Of all my sons (for Yahweh has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of Yahweh’s kingdom over Israel.

耶和华对我说、你儿子所罗门必建造我的殿和院宇．因为我拣选他作我的子、我也必作他的父。

He said to me, ‘Solomon, your son, shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

他若恒久遵行我的诫命典章、如今日一样、我就必坚定他的国位、直到永远。

I will establish his kingdom forever if he continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, as it is today.’

现今在耶和华的会中、以色列众人眼前所说的、我们的神也听见了．你们应当寻求耶和华你们神的一切诫命、谨守遵行．如此你们可以承受这美地、遗留给你们的子孙、永远为业。

Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, Yahweh’s assembly, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of Yahweh your God; that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.

我儿所罗门哪、你当认识耶和华你父的神、诚心乐意的事奉他．因为他鉴察众人的心、知道一切心思意念．你若寻求他、他必使你寻见．你若离弃他、他必永远丢弃你。

You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

你当谨慎、因耶和华拣选你建造殿宇、作为圣所．你当刚强去行。

Take heed now; for Yahweh has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong, and do it.”

大卫将殿的游廊、旁屋、府库、楼房、内殿、和施恩所的样式、指示他儿子所罗门．

Then David gave to Solomon his son the plans for the porch of the temple, for its houses, for its treasuries, for its upper rooms, for its inner rooms, for the place of the mercy seat;

又将被灵感动所得的样式、就是耶和华神殿的院子、周围的房屋、殿的府库、和圣物府库的一切样式都指示他．

and the plans of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of Yahweh’s house, for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of God’s house, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;

又指示他祭司和利未人的班次、与耶和华殿里各样的工作、并耶和华殿里一切器皿的样式、

also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service of Yahweh’s house, and for all the vessels of service in Yahweh’s house;

以及各样应用金器的分两、和各样应用银器的分两．

of gold by weight for the gold, for all vessels of every kind of service; for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service;

金灯台和金灯的分两、银灯台和银灯的分两、轻重各都合宜．

by weight also for the lamp stands of gold, and for its lamps, of gold, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps; and for the lamp stands of silver, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps, according to the use of every lamp stand;

陈设饼金桌子的分两、银桌子的分两、

and the gold by weight for the tables of show bread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;

精金的肉叉子、盘子、和爵的分两、各金碗与各银碗的分两、

and the forks, the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;

精金香坛的分两、并用金子作基路伯．〈原文作用金子作车式的基路伯〉基路伯张开翅膀、遮掩耶和华的约柜。

and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the plans for the chariot, and the cherubim that spread out and cover the ark of Yahweh’s covenant.

大卫说、这一切工作的样式、都是耶和华用手画出来、使我明白的。

“All this”, said David, “I have been made to understand in writing from Yahweh’s hand, even all the works of this pattern.”

大卫又对他儿子所罗门说、你当刚强壮胆去行．不要惧怕、也不要惊惶．因为耶和华神就是我的神、与你同在、他必不撇下你、也不丢弃你、直到耶和华殿的工作都完毕了。

David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed; for Yahweh God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you, nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of Yahweh’s house is finished.

有祭司和利未人的各班、为要办理神殿各样的事．又有灵巧的人、在各样的工作上、乐意帮助你．并有众首领和众民、一心听从你的命令。

Behold, there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the service of God’s house. Every willing man who has skill, for any kind of service, shall be with you in all kinds of work. Also the captains and all the people will be entirely at your command.”

第29章

大卫王对会众说、我儿子所罗门是神特选的、还年幼娇嫩、这工程甚大．因这殿不是为人、乃是为耶和华神建造的。

David the king said to all the assembly, “Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great; for the palace is not for man, but for Yahweh God.

我为我神的殿已经尽力、豫备金子作金器、银子作银器、铜作铜器、铁作铁器、木作木器、还有红玛瑙可镶嵌的宝石、彩石和一切的宝石、并许多汉白玉。

Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for the things of gold, the silver for the things of silver, the brass for the things of brass, iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood; also onyx stones, stones to be set, stones for inlaid work, of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.

且因我心中爱慕我神的殿、就在豫备建造圣殿的材料之外、又将我自己积蓄的金银献上、建造我神的殿．

In addition, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, since I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, I give it to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,

就是俄斐金三千他连得、精炼的银子七千他连得、以贴殿墙。

even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, with which to overlay the walls of the houses;

金子作金器、银子作银器、并藉匠人的手制造一切。今日有谁乐意将自己献给耶和华呢。

of gold for the things of gold, and of silver for the things of silver, and for all kinds of work to be made by the hands of artisans. Who then offers willingly to consecrate himself today to Yahweh?”

于是众族长、和以色列各支派的首领、千夫长、百夫长、并监管王工的官长、都乐意献上。

Then the princes of the fathers’ households, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers over the king’s work, offered willingly;

他们为神殿的使用、献上金子五千他连得、零一万达利克、银子一万他连得、铜一万八千他连得、铁十万他连得。

and they gave for the service of God’s house of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand darics, of silver ten thousand talents, of brass eighteen thousand talents, and of iron one hundred thousand talents.

凡有宝石的都交给革顺人耶歇、送入耶和华殿的府库。

People with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of Yahweh’s house, under the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.

因这些人诚心乐意献给耶和华、百姓就欢喜、大卫王也大大欢喜。

Then the people rejoiced, because they offered willingly, because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to Yahweh; and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.

所以大卫在会众面前称颂耶和华、说、耶和华我们的父、以色列的神是应当称颂、直到永永远远的。

Therefore David blessed Yahweh before all the assembly; and David said, “You are blessed, Yahweh, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever.

耶和华阿、尊大、能力、荣耀、强胜、威严都是你的．凡天上地下的、都是你的、国度、也是你的．并且你为至高、为万有之首。

Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all.

丰富尊荣都从你而来、你也治理万物．在你手里有大能大力、使人尊大强盛都出于你。

Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all! In your hand is power and might! It is in your hand to make great, and to give strength to all!

我们的神阿、现在我们称谢你、赞美你荣耀之名。

Now therefore, our God, we thank you, and praise your glorious name.

我算甚么、我的民算甚么、竟能如此乐意奉献．因为万物都从你而来、我们把从你而得的献给你。

But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.

我们在你面前是客旅、是寄居的、与我们列祖一样．我们在世的日子如影儿、不能长存。〈或作没有长存的指望〉

For we are strangers before you, and foreigners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no remaining.

耶和华我们的神阿、我们豫备这许多材料、要为你的圣名建造殿宇、都是从你而来、都是属你的。

Yahweh our God, all this store that we have prepared to build you a house for your holy name comes from your hand, and is all your own.

我的神阿、我知道你察验人心、喜悦正直。我以正直的心乐意献上这一切物．现在我喜欢见你的民、在这里都乐意奉献与你。

I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now I have seen with joy your people, who are present here, offer willingly to you.

耶和华我们列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、以色列的神阿、求你使你的民、常存这样的心思意念、坚定他们的心归向你．

Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this desire forever in the thoughts of the heart of your people, and prepare their heart for you;

又求你赐我儿子所罗门诚实的心、遵守你的命令、法度、律例、成就这一切的事、用我所豫备的建造殿宇。

and give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision.”

大卫对全会众说、你们应当称颂耶和华你们的神。于是会众称颂耶和华他们列祖的神、低头拜耶和华与王。

Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless Yahweh your God!” All the assembly blessed Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads and prostrated themselves before Yahweh and the king.

次日、他们向耶和华献平安祭和燔祭、就是献公牛一千只、公绵羊一千只、羊羔一千只、并同献的奠祭．又为以色列众人献许多的祭．那日他们在耶和华面前吃喝、大大欢乐。

They sacrificed sacrifices to Yahweh, and offered burnt offerings to Yahweh, on the next day after that day, even one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, and one thousand lambs, with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel,

他们奉耶和华的命、再膏大卫的儿子所罗门作王、又膏撒督作祭司。

and ate and drank before Yahweh on that day with great gladness. They made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him before Yahweh to be prince, and Zadok to be priest.

于是所罗门坐在耶和华所赐的位上、接续他父亲大卫作王、万事亨通．以色列众人也都听从他。

Then Solomon sat on the throne of Yahweh as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
