1 Samuel:Chapter 23

撒慕爾紀上	1 Samuel
¹有人告訴達味說：「看，培肋舍特人在攻打刻依拉，搶掠禾場。」	¹And they told David, saying: Behold the Philistines fight against Ceila, and they rob the barns.
²達味就求問上主說：「我是否該去攻打這些培肋舍特人？」上主回答達味說：「去攻打培肋舍特人，解救刻依拉！」	²Therefore David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the Lord said to David: Go, and thou shalt smite the Philistines, and shalt save Ceila.
³隨從達味的人對他說：「看，我們在猶大這裏，已惴惴不安；如果到刻依拉去攻打培肋舍特軍隊，更將如何！」	³And the men that were with David, said to him: Behold we are in fear here in Judea, how much more if we go to Ceila against the hands of the Philistines?
⁴達味又求問了上主，上主回答他說：「動身下到刻依拉去，因為我已將培肋舍特人交在你手中了！」	⁴Therefore David consulted the Lord again. And he answered and said to him: Arise, and go to Ceila: for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hand.
⁵達味就和跟隨他的人到刻依拉，攻打培肋舍特人，奪得了他們的牲口，打得他們慘敗，營救了刻依拉的居民。	⁵David therefore, and his men, went to Ceila, and fought against the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and made a great slaughter of them: and David saved the inhabitants of Ceila.
⁶那時阿希默肋客的兒子厄貝雅塔爾逃到了達味那裏，也下到了刻依拉，手中帶着「厄弗得」。	⁶Now at that time, when Abiathar the son of Achimelech fled to David to Ceila, he came down having an ephod with him.
⁷有人報告撒烏耳說：「達味到了刻依拉。」撒烏耳便說：「天主真將他交在我手中了，因為他將自己封鎖在一座有門有閂的城裏。」	⁷And it was told Saul that David was come to Ceila: and Saul said: The Lord hath delivered him into my hands, and he is shut up, being come into a city, that hath gates and bars.
⁸撒烏耳就調集了人民出征，下到刻依拉，要包圍達味和他的部隊。	⁸And Saul commanded all the people to go down to fight against Ceila, and to besiege David, and his men.
⁹達味一知道撒烏耳想陷害他，就給司祭厄貝雅塔爾說：「拿『厄弗得』來！」	⁹Now when David understood, that Saul secretly prepared evil against him, he said to Abiathar the priest: Bring hither the ephod.
¹⁰然後達味說：「上主，以色列的天主，你僕人聽說撒烏耳正在籌劃到刻依拉來，為了我的緣故，要毀滅這座城。	¹⁰And David said: O Lord God of Israel, thy servant hath heard a report, that Saul designeth to come to Ceila, to destroy the city for my sake:
¹¹刻依拉的居民會將我交在他手中嗎？撒烏耳是否會像你僕人所聽到的下來？請上主，以色列的天主，通知你的僕人！」上主回答說：「他要下來。」	¹¹Will the men of Ceila deliver me into his hands? and will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, tell thy servant. And the Lord said: He will come down.
¹²達味又問說：「刻依拉的居民會把我和隨從我的人，交在撒烏耳手中嗎？」上主回答說：「他們會把你們交出。」	¹²And David said: Will the men of Ceila deliver me, and my men, into the hands of Saul? And the Lord said: They will deliver thee up.
¹³達味就動身率領士兵，約有六百人，離開了刻依拉，到處漂流。有人告訴撒烏耳說：「達味從刻依拉逃走了。」撒烏耳遂停止出動。	¹³Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose, and departing from Ceila, wandered up and down uncertain where they should stay: and it was told Saul that David was fled from Ceila, and had escaped: wherefore he forbore to go out.
¹⁴達味住在曠野的深山裏，有時住在齊弗曠野的山中。撒烏耳每日找他，天主沒有將達味交在他手中。	¹⁴But David abode in the desert in strong holds, and he remained in a mountain of the desert of Ziph, in a woody hill. And Saul sought him always: but the Lord delivered him not into his hands.
¹⁵達味很是害怕，因為撒烏耳出來，不斷搜索他；當時達味住在齊弗曠野的曷勒士。	¹⁵And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life. And David was in the desert of Ziph, in a wood.
¹⁶撒烏耳的兒子約納堂動身，到了曷勒士，去見達味，他以天主的名鼓勵達味，	¹⁶And Jonathan the son of Saul arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hands in God: and he said to him:
¹⁷說：「不必害怕！我父撒烏耳的手決拿不住你！你必要作以色列王，我要在你以下居第二位，連我父親撒烏耳也知道這事。」	¹⁷Fear not: for the hand of my father Saul shall not find thee, and thou shalt reign over Israel, and I shall be next to thee, yea, and my father knoweth this.
¹⁸他們二人在上主面前訂立盟約。以後，達味仍留在曷勒士，約納堂回了家。	¹⁸And the two made a covenant before the Lord: and David abode in the wood: but Jonathan returned to his house.
¹⁹有些齊弗人上了基貝亞見撒烏耳，說：「達味不是在我們當中，在曷勒士山上隱藏着嗎？	¹⁹And the Ziphites went up to Saul in Gabaa, saying: Lo, doth not David lie hid with us in the strong holds of the wood, in mount Hachila, which is on the right hand of the desert.
²⁰大王現今你隨意下到我們那裏，我們必把他交在大王手中。」	²⁰Now therefore come down, as thy soul hath desired to come down: and it shall be our business to deliver him into the king's hands.
²¹撒烏耳答說：「望上主祝福你們，因為你們同情了我。	²¹And Saul said: Blessed be ye of the Lord, for you have pitied my case.
²²你們再去查看清楚，看他的腳步急速往那裏去，因為有人給我說：他非常狡猾。	²²Go therefore, I pray you, and use all diligence, and curiously inquire, and consider the place where his foot is, and who hath seen him there: for he thinketh of me, that I lie craftily in wait for him.
²³所以你們去觀察清楚，他藏身的一切秘密地方，確定後，回來見我，我必同你們一起去，只要他在這地方，我必在猶大各鄉村中搜捕他。」	²³Consider and see all his lurking holes, wherein he is bid, and return to me with the certainty of the thing, that I may go with you. And if be should even go down into the earth to hide himself, I will search him out in all the thousands of Juda.
²⁴他們就在撒烏耳以先動身往齊弗去了；達味和他的人那時住在瑪紅曠野，即在曠野南方的荒原中。	²⁴And they arose and went to Ziph before Saul: and David and his men were in the desert of Maon, in the plain at the right hand of Jesimon.
²⁵撒烏耳率領士兵去尋找達味。有人將這事告訴了達味，他就下到那矗立瑪紅曠野的山崖間；撒烏耳一聽說，便到瑪紅曠野去追趕達味。	²⁵Then Saul and his men went to seek him: and it was told David, and forthwith he went down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon: and when Saul had heard of it he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
²⁶撒烏耳帶領士兵走在山這面，達味帶領他的士兵走在山那面；達味正在急速逃避撒烏耳時，撒烏耳率領着他的士兵追蹤達味和他的士兵，幾乎要把他們捉住，	²⁶And Saul went on this side of the mountain: and David and his men were on the other side of the mountain: and David despaired of being able to escape from the face of Saul: and Saul and his men encompassed David and his men round about to take them.
²⁷就在這時，有一個使者來見撒烏耳說：「快回去，因為培肋舍特人已侵入邊境！」	²⁷And a messenger came to Saul, saying: Make haste to come, for the Philistines have poured in themselves upon the land.
²⁸撒烏耳遂立即收兵，不再追趕達味，而去迎擊培肋舍特人；因此，人給那地方起名叫「隔離岩」。	²⁸Wherefore Saul returned, leaving the pursuit of David, and went to meet the Philistines. For this cause they called that place, the Rock of division.
