基遍人的冤屈

¹大卫年间有饥荒，一连三年，大卫就求问耶和华。耶和华说：“这饥荒是因扫罗和他流人血之家杀死基遍人。”During the reign of David there was a famine for three successive years, and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, “It is because of the blood shed by Saul and his family, because he killed the Gibeonites.”

²原来这基遍人不是以色列人，乃是亚摩利人中所剩的；以色列人曾向他们起誓，不杀灭他们，扫罗却为以色列人和犹大人发热心，想要杀灭他们。大卫王召了他们来，At this, David summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not Israelites, but a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had taken an oath concerning them, but in his zeal for Israel and Judah, Saul had sought to kill them.)

³问他们说：“我当为你们怎样行呢？可用什么赎这罪，使你们为耶和华的产业祝福呢？”So David asked the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? How can I make amends so that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?”

⁴基遍人回答说：“我们和扫罗与他家的事并不关乎金银，也不要因我们的缘故杀一个以色列人。”大卫说：“你们怎样说，我就为你们怎样行。”The Gibeonites said to him, “We need no silver or gold from Saul or his house, nor should you put to death anyone in Israel for us.” “Whatever you ask, I will do for you,” he replied.

⁵他们对王说：“那从前谋害我们、要灭我们、使我们不得再住以色列境内的人，And they answered the king, “As for the man who consumed us and plotted against us to exterminate us from existing within any border of Israel,

⁶现在愿将他的子孙七人交给我们，我们好在耶和华面前，将他们悬挂在耶和华拣选扫罗的基比亚。”王说：“我必交给你们。”let seven of his male descendants be delivered to us so that we may hang them before the LORD at Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD.” “I will give them to you,” said the king.

⁷王因为曾与扫罗的儿子约拿单指着耶和华起誓结盟，就爱惜扫罗的孙子、约拿单的儿子米非波设，不交出来，Now the king spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath before the LORD between David and Jonathan son of Saul.

⁸却把爱雅的女儿利斯巴给扫罗所生的两个儿子亚摩尼、米非波设，和扫罗女儿米甲的姊姊给米何拉人巴西莱儿子亚得列所生的五个儿子But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons whom Rizpah daughter of Aiah had borne to Saul, as well as the five sons whom Merab daughter of Saul had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite.

⁹交在基遍人的手里。基遍人就把他们，在耶和华面前，悬挂在山上，这七人就一同死亡。被杀的时候正是收割的日子，就是动手割大麦的时候。And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before the LORD. So all seven of them fell together; they were put to death in the first days of the harvest, at the beginning of the barley harvest.

利斯巴守护尸身

¹⁰爱雅的女儿利斯巴用麻布在磐石上搭棚，从动手收割的时候直到天降雨在尸身上的时候，日间不容空中的雀鸟落在尸身上，夜间不让田野的走兽前来糟践。And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on a rock. From the beginning of the harvest until the rain from heaven poured down on the bodies, she did not allow the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.

¹¹有人将扫罗的妃嫔爱雅女儿利斯巴所行的这事告诉大卫。When David was told what Saul’s concubine Rizpah, daughter of Aiah, had done,

安葬扫罗和约拿单

¹²大卫就去，从基列·雅比人那里将扫罗和他儿子约拿单的骸骨搬了来（是因非利士人从前在基利波杀扫罗，将尸身悬挂在伯·珊的街市上，基列·雅比人把尸身偷了去。）he went and took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth-shan where the Philistines had hung the bodies after they had struck down Saul at Gilboa.

¹³大卫将扫罗和他儿子约拿单的骸骨从那里搬了来，又收殓被悬挂七人的骸骨，So David had the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan brought from there, and they also gathered the bones of those who had been hanged.

¹⁴将扫罗和他儿子约拿单的骸骨葬在便雅悯的洗拉，在扫罗父亲基士的坟墓里；众人行了王所吩咐的。此后　神垂听国民所求的。And they buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in Zela in the land of Benjamin, in the tomb of Saul’s father Kish. After they had done everything the king had commanded, God answered their prayers for the land.

击杀非利士伟人

¹⁵非利士人与以色列人打仗；大卫带领仆人下去，与非利士人接战，大卫就疲乏了。Once again the Philistines waged war against Israel, and David and his servants went down and fought against the Philistines. But David became exhausted.

¹⁶伟人的一个儿子以实·比诺要杀大卫；他的铜枪重三百舍客勒，又佩着新刀。Then Ishbi-benob, a descendant of Rapha, whose bronze spear weighed three hundred shekels and who was bearing a new sword, resolved to kill David.

¹⁷但洗鲁雅的儿子亚比筛帮助大卫，攻打非利士人，将他杀死。当日，跟随大卫的人向大卫起誓说：“以后你不可再与我们一同出战，恐怕熄灭以色列的灯。”But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to his aid, struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him, “You must never again go out with us to battle, so that the lamp of Israel may not be extinguished.”

¹⁸后来，以色列人在歌伯与非利士人打仗，户沙人西比该杀了伟人的一个儿子撒弗。Some time later at Gob, there was another battle with the Philistines. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, a descendant of Rapha.

¹⁹又在歌伯与非利士人打仗，伯利恒人雅雷俄珥金的儿子伊勒哈难杀了迦特人歌利亚。这人的枪杆粗如织布的机轴。Once again there was a battle with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

²⁰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。And there was also a battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,

²¹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。and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.

²²这四个人是迦特伟人的儿子，都死在大卫和他仆人的手下。So these four descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.

大卫末了的话

¹以下是大卫末了的话。耶西的儿子大卫得居高位，是雅各　神所膏的，作以色列的美歌者，说：These are the last words of David: “The oracle of David son of Jesse, the oracle of the man raised on high, the one anointed by the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel:

²耶和华的灵借着我说：他的话在我口中。The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me; His word was on my tongue.

³以色列的　神、以色列的磐石晓谕我说：那以公义治理人民的，敬畏　神执掌权柄，The God of Israel spoke; the Rock of Israel said to me, ‘He who rules the people with justice, who rules in the fear of God,

⁴耶稣说：“母亲（原文是妇人），我与你有什么相干？我的时候还没有到。”“Woman, what is that to you and to Me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

水变为酒

⁶照犹太人洁净的规矩，有六口石缸摆在那里，每口可以盛两三桶水。Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.

⁸耶稣又说：“现在可以舀出来，送给管筵席的。”他们就送了去。“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,

⁹管筵席的尝了那水变的酒，并不知道是哪里来的，只有舀水的用人知道。管筵席的便叫新郎来，and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside

¹⁶又对卖鸽子的说：“把这些东西拿去！不要将我父的殿当作买卖的地方。”To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”
