撒母耳记上 26
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
掃羅在西弗曠野尋索大衛
26 西弗人到基比亞來見掃羅，說：“大衛不是在曠野前面的哈基拉山中躲藏起來嗎？” 2 掃羅就動身，下到西弗曠野去，跟隨他的有三千以色列精兵，要在西弗的曠野尋索大衛。 3 那時，掃羅在曠野前面的哈基拉山的路旁安營，大衛仍然住在曠野。大衛看見掃羅來到曠野追尋他， 4 就派出探子，知道掃羅已經到了納康。 5 大衛起來，來到掃羅安營的地方，看見掃羅和他的元帥，尼珥的兒子押尼珥睡臥的地方。掃羅睡在軍營的中央，眾人都在他的周圍安營。
大衛在西弗也不傷害掃羅
6 大衛問赫人亞希米勒和洗魯雅的兒子約押的兄弟亞比篩，說：“誰願與我一起下到掃羅的營裡去呢？”亞比篩回答：“我願與你一起下去。” 7 於是大衛和亞比篩趁著夜裡到了眾軍那裡。掃羅正躺在軍營的中央睡著了，他的矛插在頭旁的地上；押尼珥和眾軍都躺在他的周圍。 8 亞比篩對大衛說：“今天 神把你的仇敵交在你手裡了。現在求你容我用矛把他刺透在地上，一刺就夠，不必再刺。” 9 大衛卻對亞比篩說：“不可殺死他，因為有誰伸手傷害耶和華的受膏者而無罪呢？” 10 大衛又說：“我指著永活的耶和華起誓，他或被耶和華擊打，或死期到了，或下到戰場陣亡了， 11 我在耶和華面前，絕對不敢伸手傷害耶和華的受膏者。現在，你可以把掃羅頭旁的矛和水袋拿來，我們就走吧！” 12 於是大衛從掃羅的頭旁拿了矛和水袋，他們二人就走了。沒有人看見，沒有人知道，也沒有人醒來。他們都睡著了，因為耶和華使他們沉睡。
大衛嘲笑押尼珥
13 然後大衛過到另一邊去，遠遠地站在山頂上，兩者之間的距離很遠。 14 大衛呼叫眾人和尼珥的兒子押尼珥說：“押尼珥啊，你不答話嗎？”押尼珥回答說：“你是誰，竟敢呼叫王？” 15 大衛對押尼珥說：“你不是一個男子漢嗎？以色列人中有誰能與你相比呢？眾民中有一個人來要殺害王你的主，你為甚麼沒有保護王你的主呢？ 16 你所作的這事不好。我指著永活的耶和華起誓，你們都是該死的，因為你們沒有保護你的主，就是耶和華的受膏者。現在你看看王頭旁的矛和水袋在哪裡？”
大衛勸諫掃羅
17 掃羅認出是大衛的聲音，就說：“我兒大衛啊！這是你的聲音嗎？”大衛說：“我主我王啊！是我的聲音。” 18 又說：“我主為甚麼這樣追趕僕人呢？我作了甚麼？我手裡犯了甚麼過錯？ 19 現在求我主我王聽你僕人的話。如果是耶和華激動你攻擊我，願耶和華收納祭物；如果是人激動你，願他們在耶和華面前受咒詛，因為他們今天把我趕出來，不容我在耶和華的產業上有分，說：‘你去服事別的神吧！’ 20 現在，求王不要讓我的血流在遠離耶和華的地上，因為以色列王出來尋索我的性命，就像人在山中獵取一隻鷓鴣一樣。”
掃羅認錯
21 掃羅說：“我有罪了，我兒大衛啊，你回來吧！因為今天你看我的命為寶貴，我必不再害你。看哪！我作了糊塗事了，並且錯得很厲害。” 22 大衛回答說：“看哪！王的矛在這裡，可以叫一個僕人過來拿去。 23 耶和華必按著各人的公義和信實報答他；今天耶和華把你交在我手裡，我卻不願伸手傷害耶和華的受膏者。 24 看哪，我今天怎樣看重你的命，願耶和華也怎樣看重我的命，並且救我脫離一切患難。” 25 掃羅對大衛說：“我兒大衛啊，願你得福，你必作成你所要作的，也必得勝。”於是大衛離去了，掃羅也回自己的地方去了。
1 Samuel 26
King James Version
26 And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?
2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed.
5 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him.
6 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.
7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him.
8 Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.
9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the Lord's anointed, and be guiltless?
10 David said furthermore, As the Lord liveth, the Lord shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.
11 The Lord forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.
12 So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the Lord was fallen upon them.
13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space being between them:
14 And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?
15 And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.
16 This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the Lord liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the Lord's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster.
17 And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.
18 And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand?
19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the Lord have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the Lord; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other gods.
20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the Lord: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.
21 Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
22 And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.
23 The Lord render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the Lord delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed.
24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the Lord, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.
25 Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
