英王钦定本圣经 · 简体 · 上帝版 · 共 33 节
大卫数点跟随他的人,立千夫长丶百夫长率领他们。
And David numbered the people that [were] with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.
大卫打发军兵出战,分为三队:一队在约押手下,一队在洗鲁雅的儿子丶约押兄弟亚比筛手下,一队在迦特人以太手下。大卫对军兵说:「我必与你们一同出战。」
And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also.
军兵却说:「你不可出战。若是我们逃跑,敌人必不介意;我们阵亡一半,敌人也不介意。但现在你一人值我们万人。你不如在城外帮助我们。」
But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now [thou art] worth ten thousand of us: therefore now [it is] better that thou succour us out of the city.
王向他们说:「你们以为怎样好,我就怎样行。」於是王站在城门旁,军兵按百或按千出去了。
And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands.
王嘱咐约押丶亚比筛丶以太说:「你们要为我的缘故宽待那少年人押沙龙。」王为押沙龙嘱咐众将的话,兵都听见了。
And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, [Deal] gently for my sake with the young man, [even] with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.
兵就出到田野迎着以色列。在以法莲树林里交战;
So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim;
以色列人被杀在大卫的仆人面前;那日阵亡的甚多,共有二万人。
Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand [men].
因为在那里四面打仗,死於树林的比死於刀剑的更多。
For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
押沙龙遇见大卫的仆人。押沙龙骑着骡子,从大橡树密枝底下经过,他的头发被树枝绕住,就挂起来,所骑的骡子便离他去了。
And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that [was] under him went away.
有个人看见,就告诉约押说:「请看,我看见押沙龙挂在橡树上了。」
And a certain man saw [it], and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.
约押对报信的人说:「你既看见他,为甚麽不将他打死落在地上呢?你若打死他,我就赏你十舍客勒银子,一条带子。」
And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest [him], and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten [shekels] of silver, and a girdle.
那人对约押说:「我就是得你一千舍客勒银子,我也不敢伸手害王的儿子;因为我们听见王嘱咐你和亚比筛并以太说:『你们要谨慎,不可害那少年人押沙龙。』
And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand [shekels] of silver in mine hand, [yet] would I not put forth mine hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none [touch] the young man Absalom.
我若妄为害了他的性命,就是你自己也必与我为敌,原来无论何事都瞒不过王。」
Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against [me].
约押说:「我不能与你留连。」约押手拿三杆短枪,趁押沙龙在橡树上还活着,就刺透他的心。
Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he [was] yet alive in the midst of the oak.
给约押拿盔甲的十个少年人围绕押沙龙,将他杀死。
And ten young men that bare Joab's armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him.
约押吹号,拦阻众人;他们就回来,不再追赶以色列。
And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people.
他们将押沙龙丢在林中一个大坑里,上头堆起一大堆石头。以色列众人都逃跑,各回各家去了。
And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one to his tent.
押沙龙活着的时候,在王谷立了一根石柱,因他说:「我没有儿子为我留名。」他就以自己的名称那石柱叫押沙龙地,直到今日。
Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which [is] in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place.
撒督的儿子亚希玛斯说:「容我跑去,将 耶和华向仇敌给王报仇的信息报与王知。」
Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies.
约押对他说:「你今日不可去报信,改日可以报信;因为今日王的儿子死了,所以你不可去报信。」
And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead.
约押对古实人说:「你去将你所看见的告诉王。」古实人在约押面前下拜,就跑去了。
Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran.
撒督的儿子亚希玛斯又对约押说:「无论怎样,求你容我随着古实人跑去。」约押说:「我儿,你报这信息,既不得赏赐,何必要跑去呢?」
Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?
他又说:「无论怎样,我要跑去。」约押说:「你跑去吧。」亚希玛斯就从平原往前跑,跑过古实人去了。
But howsoever, [said he], let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi.
大卫正坐在城瓮里。守望的人上城门楼的顶上,举目观看,见有一个人独自跑来。
And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone.
守望的人就大声告诉王。王说:「他若独自来,必是报口信的。」那人跑得渐渐近了。
And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he [be] alone, [there is] tidings in his mouth. And he came apace, and drew near.
守望的人又见一人跑来,就对守城门的人说:「又看见有一人独自跑来。」王说:「这也必是报信的。」
And the watchman saw another man running: and the watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold [another] man running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings.
守望的人说:「我看前头人的跑法,好像撒督的儿子亚希玛斯的跑法一样。」王说:「他是个好人,必是报好信息。」
And the watchman said, Me thinketh the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He [is] a good man, and cometh with good tidings.
亚希玛斯向王呼叫说:「平安了。」就在王面前脸伏於地叩拜,说:「 耶和华─你的 上帝是应当称颂的,因他已将那举手攻击我主我王的人交给王了。」
And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed [be] the LORD thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king.
王问说:「少年人押沙龙平安不平安?」亚希玛斯回答说:「约押打发王的仆人和你的仆人亚希玛斯,那时我听见众民大声喧哗,却不知道是甚麽事。」
And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and [me] thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what [it was].
王说:「你退去,站在旁边。」他就退去,站在旁边。
And the king said [unto him], Turn aside, [and] stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still.
又见古实人也来到,说:「有信息报给我主我王。 耶和华今日向一切兴起攻击你的人给你报仇了。」
And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.
王问古实人说:「少年人押沙龙平安不平安?」古实人回答说:「愿我主我王的仇敌,和一切兴起要杀害你的人,都与那少年人一样。」
And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do [thee] hurt, be as [that] young man [is].
王就心里伤恸,上城门楼去哀哭,一面走一面说:「我儿押沙龙啊。我儿,我儿押沙龙啊。情愿 上帝使我替你死,押沙龙啊,我儿。我儿。」
And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!
