大卫藏身隐基底

²⁹大卫从那里上去，住在隐·基底的山寨里。And David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of En-gedi.

¹扫罗追赶非利士人回来，有人告诉他说：“大卫在隐·基底的旷野。”After Saul had returned from pursuing the Philistines, he was told, “David is in the wilderness of En-gedi.”

²扫罗就从以色列人中挑选三千精兵，率领他们往野羊的磐石去，寻索大卫和跟随他的人。So Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel and went to look for David and his men in the region of the Rocks of the Wild Goats.

洞中割下衣襟

³到了路旁的羊圈，在那里有洞，扫罗进去大解。大卫和跟随他的人正藏在洞里的深处。Soon Saul came to the sheepfolds along the road, where there was a cave, and he went in to relieve himself. And David and his men were hiding in the recesses of the cave.

⁴跟随的人对大卫说：“耶和华曾应许你说：‘我要将你的仇敌交在你手里，你可以任意待他。’如今时候到了！”大卫就起来，悄悄地割下扫罗外袍的衣襟。So David’s men said to him, “This is the day about which the LORD said to you, ‘Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do with him as you wish.’” Then David crept up and stealthily cut off a corner of Saul’s robe.

⁵随后大卫心中自责，因为割下扫罗的衣襟；Afterward, David’s conscience was stricken because he had cut off the corner of Saul’s robe.

⁶对跟随他的人说：“我的主乃是耶和华的受膏者，我在耶和华面前万不敢伸手害他，因他是耶和华的受膏者。”So he said to his men, “The LORD forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the LORD’s anointed. May I never lift my hand against him, since he is the LORD’s anointed.”

⁷大卫用这话拦住跟随他的人，不容他们起来害扫罗。扫罗起来，从洞里出去行路。With these words David restrained his men, and he did not let them rise up against Saul. Then Saul left the cave and went on his way.

大卫向扫罗表明心迹

⁸随后大卫也起来，从洞里出去，呼叫扫罗说：“我主，我王！”扫罗回头观看，大卫就屈身、脸伏于地下拜。After that, David got up, went out of the cave, and called out to Saul, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed facedown in reverence

⁹大卫对扫罗说：“你为何听信人的谗言，说大卫想要害你呢？and said to Saul, “Why do you listen to the words of men who say, ‘Look, David intends to harm you’?

¹⁰今日你亲眼看见在洞中，耶和华将你交在我手里；有人叫我杀你，我却爱惜你，说：‘我不敢伸手害我的主，因为他是耶和华的受膏者。’Behold, this day you have seen with your own eyes that the LORD delivered you into my hand in the cave. I was told to kill you, but I spared you and said, ‘I will not lift my hand against my lord, since he is the LORD’s anointed.’

¹¹我父啊，看看你外袍的衣襟在我手中。我割下你的衣襟，没有杀你；你由此可以知道我没有恶意叛逆你。你虽然猎取我的命，我却没有得罪你。See, my father, look at the corner of your robe in my hand. For I cut it off, but I did not kill you. Know and see that there is no evil or rebellion in my hands. I have not sinned against you, even though you are hunting me down to take my life.

¹²愿耶和华在你我中间判断是非，在你身上为我伸冤，我却不亲手加害于你。May the LORD judge between you and me, and may the LORD take vengeance on you, but my hand will never be against you.

¹³古人有句俗语说：‘恶事出于恶人。’我却不亲手加害于你。As the old proverb says, ‘Wickedness proceeds from the wicked.’ But my hand will never be against you.

¹⁴以色列王出来要寻找谁呢？追赶谁呢？不过追赶一条死狗，一个虼蚤就是了。Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom are you pursuing? A dead dog? A flea?

¹⁵愿耶和华在你我中间施行审判，断定是非，并且鉴察，为我伸冤，救我脱离你的手。”May the LORD be our judge and decide between you and me. May He take notice and plead my case and deliver me from your hand.”

扫罗承认大卫比他公义

¹⁶大卫向扫罗说完这话，扫罗说：“我儿大卫，这是你的声音吗？”就放声大哭，When David had finished saying these things, Saul called back, “Is that your voice, David my son?” Then Saul wept aloud

¹⁷对大卫说：“你比我公义；因为你以善待我，我却以恶待你。and said to David, “You are more righteous than I, for you have rewarded me with good, though I have rewarded you with evil.

¹⁸你今日显明是以善待我；因为耶和华将我交在你手里，你却没有杀我。And you have declared this day how you have treated me well, for when the LORD delivered me into your hand, you did not kill me.

¹⁹人若遇见仇敌，岂肯放他平安无事地去呢？愿耶和华因你今日向我所行的，以善报你。When a man finds his enemy, does he let him go away unharmed? May the LORD reward you with good for what you have done for me this day.

²⁰我也知道你必要作王，以色列的国必坚立在你手里。Now I know for sure that you will be king and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hands.

²¹现在你要指着耶和华向我起誓，不剪除我的后裔，在我父家不灭没我的名。”So now, swear to me by the LORD that you will not cut off my descendants or wipe out my name from my father’s house.”

²²于是大卫向扫罗起誓，扫罗就回家去；大卫和跟随他的人上山寨去了。So David gave his oath to Saul. Then Saul returned home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.

撒母耳去世

¹撒母耳死了，以色列众人聚集，为他哀哭，将他葬在拉玛—他自己的坟墓（原文是房屋）里。大卫起身，下到巴兰的旷野。When Samuel died, all Israel gathered to mourn for him; and they buried him at his home in Ramah. Then David set out and went down to the Wilderness of Paran.

拿八辱骂大卫的仆人

²在玛云有一个人，他的产业在迦密，是一个大富户，有三千绵羊，一千山羊；他正在迦密剪羊毛。Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel. He was a very wealthy man with a thousand goats and three thousand sheep, which he was shearing in Carmel.

³那人名叫拿八，是迦勒族的人；他的妻名叫亚比该，是聪明俊美的妇人。拿八为人刚愎凶恶。His name was Nabal, and his wife’s name was Abigail. She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband, a Calebite, was harsh and evil in his dealings.

⁴大卫在旷野听见说拿八剪羊毛，While David was in the wilderness, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.

⁵大卫就打发十个仆人，吩咐他们说：“你们上迦密去见拿八，提我的名问他安。So David sent ten young men and instructed them, “Go up to Nabal at Carmel. Greet him in my name

⁶要对那富户如此说：‘愿你平安，愿你家平安，愿你一切所有的都平安。and say to him, ‘Long life to you, and peace to you and to your house and to all that belongs to you.

⁷现在我听说有人为你剪羊毛，你的牧人在迦密的时候和我们在一处，我们没有欺负他们，他们也未曾失落什么。Now I hear that it is time for shearing. When your shepherds were with us, we did not harass them, and nothing of theirs was missing the whole time they were in Carmel.

⁸可以问你的仆人，他们必告诉你。所以愿我的仆人在你眼前蒙恩，因为是在好日子来的。求你随手取点赐与仆人和你儿子大卫。’”Ask your young men, and they will tell you. So let my young men find favor with you, for we have come on the day of a feast. Please give whatever you can spare to your servants and to your son David.’”

⁹大卫的仆人到了，将这话提大卫的名都告诉了拿八，就住了口。When David’s young men arrived, they relayed all these words to Nabal on behalf of David. Then they waited.

¹⁰拿八回答大卫的仆人说：“大卫是谁？耶西的儿子是谁？近来悖逆主人奔逃的仆人甚多，But Nabal asked them, “Who is David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants these days are breaking away from their masters.

¹¹我岂可将饮食和为我剪羊毛人所宰的肉给我不知道从哪里来的人呢？”Why should I take my bread and water and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give them to these men whose origin I do not know?”

¹²大卫的仆人就转身从原路回去，照这话告诉大卫。So David’s men turned around and went back, and they relayed to him all these words.

¹³大卫向跟随他的人说：“你们各人都要带上刀！”众人就都带上刀，大卫也带上刀。跟随大卫上去的约有四百人，留下二百人看守器具。And David said to his men, “Strap on your swords!” So David and all his men strapped on their swords, and about four hundred men followed David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies.

亚比该急忙预备礼物

¹⁴有拿八的一个仆人告诉拿八的妻亚比该说：“大卫从旷野打发使者来问我主人的安，主人却辱骂他们。Meanwhile, one of Nabal’s young men informed Nabal’s wife Abigail, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, but he screamed at them.

¹⁵但是那些人待我们甚好；我们在田野与他们来往的时候，没有受他们的欺负，也未曾失落什么。Yet these men were very good to us. When we were in the field, we were not harassed, and nothing of ours went missing the whole time we lived among them.

¹⁶我们在他们那里牧羊的时候，他们昼夜作我们的保障。They were a wall around us, both day and night, the whole time we were herding our sheep near them.

¹⁷所以你当筹划，看怎样行才好；不然，祸患定要临到我主人和他全家。他性情凶暴，无人敢与他说话。”Now consider carefully what you must do, because disaster looms over our master and all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that nobody can speak to him!”

¹⁸亚比该急忙将二百饼，两皮袋酒，五只收拾好了的羊，五细亚烘好了的穗子，一百葡萄饼，二百无花果饼，都驮在驴上，Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five butchered sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs. She loaded them on donkeys

¹⁹对仆人说：“你们前头走，我随着你们去。”这事她却没有告诉丈夫拿八。and said to her young men, “Go ahead of me. I will be right behind you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

²⁰亚比该骑着驴，正下山坡，见大卫和跟随他的人从对面下来，亚比该就迎接他们。As Abigail came riding her donkey into a mountain ravine, she saw David and his men coming down toward her, and she met them.

²¹大卫曾说：“我在旷野为那人看守所有的，以致他一样不失落，实在是徒然了！他向我以恶报善。Now David had just said, “In vain I have protected all that belonged to this man in the wilderness. Nothing that belongs to him has gone missing, yet he has paid me back evil for good.

²²凡属拿八的男丁，我若留一个到明日早晨，愿　神重重降罚与我！”May God punish David, and ever so severely, if I let one male belonging to Nabal survive until morning.”

亚比该拦阻大卫报仇

²³亚比该见大卫，便急忙下驴，在大卫面前脸伏于地叩拜，When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off the donkey, fell facedown, and bowed before him.

²⁴俯伏在大卫的脚前，说：“我主啊，愿这罪归我！求你容婢女向你进言，更求你听婢女的话。She fell at his feet and said, “My lord, may the blame be on me alone, but please let your servant speak to you; hear the words of your servant.

²⁵我主不要理这坏人拿八，他的性情与他的名相称；他名叫拿八（就是愚顽的意思），他为人果然愚顽。但我主所打发的仆人，婢女并没有看见。My lord should pay no attention to this scoundrel Nabal, for he lives up to his name: His name means Fool, and folly accompanies him. I, your servant, did not see my lord’s young men whom you sent.

²⁶我主啊，耶和华既然阻止你亲手报仇，取流血的罪，所以我指着永生的耶和华、又敢在你面前起誓说：‘愿你的仇敌和谋害你的人都像拿八一样。’Now, my lord, as surely as the LORD lives and you yourself live, since the LORD has held you back from bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hand, may your enemies and those who seek harm for my lord be like Nabal.

²⁷如今求你将婢女送来的礼物给跟随你的仆人。Now let this gift your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow you.

²⁸求你饶恕婢女的罪过。耶和华必为我主建立坚固的家，因我主为耶和华争战；并且在你平生的日子查不出有什么过来。Please forgive your servant’s offense, for the LORD will surely make a lasting dynasty for my lord, because he fights the LORD’s battles. May no evil be found in you as long as you live.

²⁹虽有人起来追逼你，寻索你的性命，你的性命却在耶和华—你的　神那里蒙保护，如包裹宝器一样；你仇敌的性命，耶和华必抛去，如用机弦甩石一样。And should someone pursue you and seek your life, then the life of my lord will be bound securely by the LORD your God in the bundle of the living. But He shall fling away the lives of your enemies like stones from a sling.

^30–31我主现在若不亲手报仇流无辜人的血，到了耶和华照所应许你的话赐福与你，立你作以色列的王，那时我主必不致心里不安，觉得良心有亏。耶和华赐福与我主的时候，求你记念婢女。”When the LORD has done for my lord all the good He promised, and when He has appointed you ruler over Israel, then my lord will have no remorse or guilt of conscience over needless bloodshed and revenge. And when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, may you remember your servant.”

³²大卫对亚比该说：“耶和华—以色列的　神是应当称颂的，因为他今日使你来迎接我。Then David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me this day!

³³你和你的见识也当称赞；因为你今日拦阻我亲手报仇、流人的血。Blessed is your discernment, and blessed are you, because today you kept me from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.

³⁴我指着阻止我加害于你的耶和华—以色列永生的　神起誓，你若不速速地来迎接我，到明日早晨，凡属拿八的男丁必定不留一个。”Otherwise, as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has restrained me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, then surely no male belonging to Nabal would have been left alive by morning light.”

³⁵大卫受了亚比该送来的礼物，就对她说：“我听了你的话，准了你的情面，你可以平平安安地回家吧！”Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought him, and he said to her, “Go home in peace. See, I have heeded your voice and granted your request.”

耶和华击打拿八

³⁶亚比该到拿八那里，见他在家里设摆筵席，如同王的筵席；拿八快乐大醉。亚比该无论大小事都没有告诉他，就等到次日早晨。When Abigail returned to Nabal, there he was in the house, holding a feast fit for a king, in high spirits and very drunk. So she told him nothing until morning light.

³⁷到了早晨，拿八醒了酒，他的妻将这些事都告诉他，他就魂不附体，身僵如石头一般。In the morning when Nabal was sober, his wife told him about these events, and his heart failed within him, and he became like a stone.

³⁸过了十天，耶和华击打拿八，他就死了。About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal dead.

大卫娶亚比该

³⁹大卫听见拿八死了，就说：“应当称颂耶和华，因他伸了拿八羞辱我的冤，又阻止仆人行恶；也使拿八的恶归到拿八的头上。”于是大卫打发人去，与亚比该说，要娶她为妻。On hearing that Nabal was dead, David said, “Blessed be the LORD, who has upheld my cause against the reproach of Nabal and has restrained His servant from evil. For the LORD has brought the wickedness of Nabal down upon his own head.” Then David sent word to Abigail, asking her to become his wife.

⁴⁰大卫的仆人到了迦密见亚比该，对她说：“大卫打发我们来见你，想要娶你为妻。”When his servants came to Abigail at Carmel, they said, “David has sent us to take you as his wife.”

⁴¹亚比该就起来，俯伏在地，说：“我情愿作婢女，洗我主仆人的脚。”She arose, bowed facedown, and said, “Here is your servant, ready to serve and to wash the feet of my lord’s servants.”

⁴²亚比该立刻起身，骑上驴，带着五个使女，跟从大卫的使者去了，就作了大卫的妻。So Abigail hurried and got on a donkey, and attended by five of her maidens, she followed David’s messengers and became his wife.

⁴³大卫先娶了耶斯列人亚希暖，她们二人都作了他的妻。David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel. So she and Abigail were both his wives.

⁴⁴扫罗已将他的女儿米甲，就是大卫的妻，给了迦琳人拉亿的儿子帕提为妻。But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Palti son of Laish, who was from Gallim.

扫罗再次追赶大卫

¹西弗人到基比亚见扫罗，说：“大卫不是在旷野前的哈基拉山藏着吗？”Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding on the hill of Hachilah, opposite Jeshimon?”

²扫罗就起身，带领以色列人中挑选的三千精兵下到西弗的旷野，要在那里寻索大卫。So Saul, accompanied by three thousand chosen men of Israel, went down to the Wilderness of Ziph to search for David there.

³扫罗在旷野前的哈基拉山，在道路上安营。大卫住在旷野，听说扫罗到旷野来追寻他，Saul camped beside the road at the hill of Hachilah opposite Jeshimon, but David was living in the wilderness. When he realized that Saul had followed him there,

⁴就打发人去探听，便知道扫罗果然来到。David sent out spies to verify that Saul had arrived.

⁵大卫起来，到扫罗安营的地方，看见扫罗和他的元帅尼珥的儿子押尼珥睡卧之处；扫罗睡在辎重营里，百姓安营在他周围。Then David set out and went to the place where Saul had camped. He saw the place where Saul and Abner son of Ner, the general of his army, had lain down. Saul was lying inside the inner circle of the camp, with the troops camped around him.

夜入扫罗营中

⁶大卫对赫人亚希米勒和洗鲁雅的儿子约押的兄弟亚比筛说：“谁同我下到扫罗营里去？”亚比筛说：“我同你下去。”And David asked Ahimelech the Hittite and Abishai son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, “Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?” “I will go with you,” answered Abishai.

⁷于是大卫和亚比筛夜间到了百姓那里，见扫罗睡在辎重营里；他的枪在头旁，插在地上。押尼珥和百姓睡在他周围。That night David and Abishai came to the troops, and Saul was lying there asleep in the inner circle of the camp, with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. And Abner and the troops were lying around him.

⁸亚比筛对大卫说：“现在　神将你的仇敌交在你手里，求你容我拿枪将他刺透在地，一刺就成，不用再刺。”Abishai said to David, “Today God has delivered your enemy into your hand. Now, therefore, please let me thrust the spear through him into the ground with one stroke. I will not need to strike him twice!”

⁹大卫对亚比筛说：“不可害死他。有谁伸手害耶和华的受膏者而无罪呢？”But David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him, for who can extend a hand against the LORD’s anointed and be guiltless?”

¹⁰大卫又说：“我指着永生的耶和华起誓，他或被耶和华击打，或是死期到了，或是出战阵亡；David added, “As surely as the LORD lives, the LORD Himself will strike him down; either his day will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish.

¹¹我在耶和华面前，万不敢伸手害耶和华的受膏者。现在你可以将他头旁的枪和水瓶拿来，我们就走。”But the LORD forbid that I should extend my hand against the LORD’s anointed. Instead, take the spear and water jug by his head, and let us go.”

¹²大卫从扫罗的头旁拿了枪和水瓶，二人就走了，没有人看见，没有人知道，也没有人醒起，都睡着了，因为耶和华使他们沉沉地睡了。So David took the spear and water jug by Saul’s head, and they departed. No one saw them or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up; they all remained asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.

大卫隔山呼叫

¹³大卫过到那边去，远远地站在山顶上，与他们相离甚远。Then David crossed to the other side and stood atop the mountain at a distance; there was a wide gulf between them.

¹⁴大卫呼叫百姓和尼珥的儿子押尼珥说：“押尼珥啊，你为何不答应呢？”押尼珥说：“你是谁？竟敢呼叫王呢？”And David shouted to the troops and to Abner son of Ner, “Will you not answer me, Abner?” “Who are you who calls to the king?” Abner replied.

¹⁵大卫对押尼珥说：“你不是个勇士吗？以色列中谁能比你呢？民中有人进来要害死王—你的主，你为何没有保护王—你的主呢？So David said to Abner, “You are a man, aren’t you? And who in Israel is your equal? Why then did you not protect your lord the king when one of the people came to destroy him?

¹⁶你这样是不好的！我指着永生的耶和华起誓，你们都是该死的；因为没有保护你们的主，就是耶和华的受膏者。现在你看看王头旁的枪和水瓶在哪里。”This thing you have done is not good. As surely as the LORD lives, all of you deserve to die, since you did not protect your lord, the LORD’s anointed. Now look around. Where are the king’s spear and water jug that were by his head?”

¹⁷扫罗听出是大卫的声音，就说：“我儿大卫，这是你的声音吗？”大卫说：“主—我的王啊，是我的声音”；Then Saul recognized David’s voice and asked, “Is that your voice, David my son?” “It is my voice, my lord and king,” David said.

¹⁸又说：“我做了什么？我手里有什么恶事？我主竟追赶仆人呢？And he continued, “Why is my lord pursuing his servant? What have I done? What evil is in my hand?

¹⁹求我主我王听仆人的话：若是耶和华激发你攻击我，愿耶和华收纳祭物；若是人激发你，愿他在耶和华面前受咒诅；因为他现今赶逐我，不容我在耶和华的产业上有分，说：‘你去事奉别神吧！’Now please, may my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the LORD has stirred you up against me, then may He accept an offering. But if men have done it, may they be cursed in the presence of the LORD! For today they have driven me away from sharing in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’

²⁰现在求王不要使我的血流在离耶和华远的地方。以色列王出来是寻找一个虼蚤，如同人在山上猎取一个鹧鸪一般。”So do not let my blood fall to the ground far from the presence of the LORD. For the king of Israel has come out to look for a flea, like one who hunts a partridge in the mountains.”

扫罗再次认错

²¹扫罗说：“我有罪了！我儿大卫，你可以回来，因你今日看我的性命为宝贵；我必不再加害于你。我是糊涂人，大大错了。”Then Saul replied, “I have sinned. Come back, David my son. I will never harm you again, because today you considered my life precious. I have played the fool and have committed a grave error!”

²²大卫说：“王的枪在这里，可以吩咐一个仆人过来拿去。“Here is the king’s spear,” David answered. “Let one of the young men come over and get it.

²³今日耶和华将王交在我手里，我却不肯伸手害耶和华的受膏者。耶和华必照各人的公义诚实报应他。May the LORD repay every man for his righteousness and faithfulness. For the LORD delivered you into my hand today, but I would not extend my hand against the LORD’s anointed.

²⁴我今日重看你的性命，愿耶和华也重看我的性命，并且拯救我脱离一切患难。”As surely as I valued your life today, so may the LORD value my life and rescue me from all trouble.”

²⁵扫罗对大卫说：“我儿大卫，愿你得福！你必做大事，也必得胜。”于是大卫起行，扫罗回他的本处去了。Saul said to him, “May you be blessed, David my son. You will accomplish great things and will surely prevail.” So David went on his way, and Saul returned home.

门徒争论谁为大

²⁴门徒起了争论，他们中间哪一个可算为大。A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them should be considered the greatest.

²⁵耶稣说：“外邦人有君王为主治理他们，那掌权管他们的称为恩主。So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.

²⁶但你们不可这样；你们里头为大的，倒要像年幼的，为首领的，倒要像服事人的。But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.

²⁷是谁为大？是坐席的呢？是服事人的呢？不是坐席的大吗？然而，我在你们中间如同服事人的。For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am among you as one who serves.

在国里同席、坐在宝座上

²⁸我在磨炼之中，常和我同在的就是你们。You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.

²⁹我将国赐给你们，正如我父赐给我一样，And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,

³⁰叫你们在我国里，坐在我的席上吃喝，并且坐在宝座上，审判以色列十二个支派。”so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

耶稣为彼得祈求

³¹主又说：“西门！西门！撒但想要得着你们，好筛你们像筛麦子一样；Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you like wheat.

³²但我已经为你祈求，叫你不至于失了信心。你回头以后，要坚固你的弟兄。”But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

³³彼得说：“主啊，我就是同你下监，同你受死，也是甘心！”“Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”

³⁴耶稣说：“彼得，我告诉你，今日鸡还没有叫，你要三次说不认得我。”But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”

如今要带钱囊和刀

³⁵耶稣又对他们说：“我差你们出去的时候，没有钱囊，没有口袋，没有鞋，你们缺少什么没有？”他们说：“没有。”Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.

³⁶耶稣说：“但如今有钱囊的可以带着，有口袋的也可以带着，没有刀的要卖衣服买刀。“Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.

³⁷我告诉你们，经上写着说：‘他被列在罪犯之中。’这话必应验在我身上；因为那关系我的事必然成就。”For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.”

³⁸他们说：“主啊，请看！这里有两把刀。”耶稣说：“够了。”So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.

橄榄山上的祷告

³⁹耶稣出来，照常往橄榄山去，门徒也跟随他。Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.

⁴⁰到了那地方，就对他们说：“你们要祷告，免得入了迷惑。”When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”

⁴¹于是离开他们约有扔一块石头那么远，跪下祷告，And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,

⁴²说：“父啊！你若愿意，就把这杯撤去；然而，不要成就我的意思，只要成就你的意思。”“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

⁴³有一位天使从天上显现，加添他的力量。Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.

⁴⁴耶稣极其伤痛，祷告更加恳切，汗珠如大血点滴在地上。And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

门徒因忧愁睡着了

⁴⁵祷告完了，就起来，到门徒那里，见他们因为忧愁都睡着了，When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.

⁴⁶就对他们说：“你们为什么睡觉呢？起来祷告，免得入了迷惑！”“Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”
