| 1撒烏耳死後，達味擊殺阿瑪肋克人回來，在漆刻拉格住了兩天。 | 1It was thus that Saul died. As for David, he returned after defeating the Amalekites. He was already two days in Ziklag |
| 2第三天，有個人從撒烏耳營中跑來，衣服撕爛，滿頭灰塵，來到達味前，伏地叩拜。 | 2when, on the third day, a man came from Saul's camp, with his clothes torn and dust strewn on his head. He went to David and fell to the ground in homage. |
| 3達味問他說：「你從那裏來？」他答說：「我從以色列營中逃命而來。」 | 3David asked him, "Where are you from?" And he answered, "I have escaped from the Israelite camp." |
| 4達味又問他說：「戰事怎樣？請告訴我！」他答說：「軍民從戰場上逃跑了，許多人陣亡，撒烏耳和他的兒子約納堂也死了。」 | 4David then said, "Tell me what happened." And the man told him, "The soldiers fled from the battle but many of them fell and died. Saul and his son Jonathan - they too are dead." |
| 5達味問那報信的少年人說：「你怎麼知道撒烏耳和他的兒子約納堂死了呢？」 | 5Then David asked the young man who reported this, "How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?" |
| 6那報信的少年人答說：「我無意中來到基耳波亞山上，看見撒烏耳伏在自己的槍上，戰車和騎兵都快要迫近他。 | 6The young man replied, "I happened to be on Mount Gilboa and I saw Saul leaning on his spear while chariots and horsemen were closing in on him. |
| 7他轉身見了我，就招呼我。我答說：我在這裏。 | 7He turned around and, seeing me, called me. |
| 8他問我說：你是誰？我答說：我是阿瑪肋克人。 | 8I said, 'Here I am.' He asked, 'Who are you?' and I replied, 'I am an Amalekite.' |
| 9他向我說：來我身邊，殺了我罷！我現在雖還完全活着，但十分暈眩。 | 9He then said to me, 'Come here and kill me for I feel dizzy though I am fully alive.' |
| 10我就來到他身邊，明知他倒下後，決不能生存，便殺了他；取下他頭上的王冠，腕上的手鐲，帶到這裏來奉獻給我主。」 | 10So I went over and killed him, for I knew that he would fall and not rise again. Then I removed the crown from his head and the armlet from his arm, both of which I have here to give you, my lord." |
| 11達味就抓住自己的衣服撕破了；同他在一起的人也照樣作了。 | 11At this, David took hold of his clothes and tore them and his men did the same. |
| 12大家為撒烏耳和他的兒子約納堂，以及上主的百姓和以色列的家族，舉哀痛哭，禁食直到晚上，哀悼他們喪身刀下。 | 12And they mourned, weeping and fasting until evening, for the death of Saul and his son Jonathan, for all the people of Judah and for the nation of Israel. |
| 13達味又問那報信的少年說：「你是那裏的？」他答說：「我是阿瑪肋克僑民的兒子。」 | 13David asked the young man who told him this, "Where are you from?" And he answered, "I am the son of an Amalekite immigrant." |
| 14達味向他說：「怎麼你不怕伸手殺害上主的受傅者？」 | 14David said, "Why were you not afraid to lay your hands on Yahweh's anointed and kill him?" |
| 15達味遂叫一個少年人來，向他說：「前來，殺了他！」少年人把他一刀砍死了。 | 15He then called one of his men and ordered him, "Come and strike him down." He struck down the Amalekite and killed him. |
| 16同時達味對他說：「你的血應歸在你頭上，因為你親口作供說：我殺死了上主的受傅者。」 | 16David declared, "You will answer for your own blood for you condemned yourself when you said, 'I have killed Yahweh's anointed'." |
| 17事後，達味作了這首哀歌，追悼撒烏耳和他的兒子約納堂， | 17David sang this song of lamentation for Saul and his son Jonathan, and had it taught to the people of Judah. It is called "The Bow" |
| 18命令猶大子弟學習這首哀歌，這歌載在《義士書》上： | 18and is found in the Book of the Just. |
| 19「以色列的榮華，倒在你的高崗上；英雄怎會陣亡？ | 19"Your glory, O Israel, is slain upon your mountains! How the mighty ones have fallen! |
| 20不要在加特報告，不要在阿市刻隆街市宣揚，免得培肋舍特的女子歡樂，免得未受割損者的女郎雀躍！ | 20Tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon lest the Philistine women rejoice, lest foreign maidens exult. |
| 21基耳波亞山，不祥的山野！在你那裏露不再降，雨不再下！因為英雄的盾牌，受了褻瀆，撒烏耳的盾牌，那傅油者的武器。 | 21Mountains of Gilboa, let neither dew nor rain visit you, no more fertile fields on you! For on you the shield of the valiant was defiled. |
| 22對傷者的血，英雄的脂油，約納堂的弓總不後轉，撒烏耳的劍決不空還。 | 22The shield of Saul was not anointed with oil; but with the blood of the slain. From the fat of the warriors, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, nor did the sword of Saul return unstained. |
| 23撒烏耳與約納堂，相親相愛，生相聚，死不離，神速過鷹，勇猛勝獅。 | 23Saul and Jonathan, beloved and cherished, neither in life nor in death were they parted; swifter than eagles they were and stronger than lions. |
| 24以色列女郎！應痛悼撒烏耳，他給你們披上了愉快的紫衣，在你們衣服上點綴了金飾。 | 24Women of Israel, weep over Saul who clothed you in precious scarlet. |
| 25英雄怎會在戰鬥中陣亡！哎，約納堂！對你的死，我極度哀痛！ | 25How the valiant have fallen! In the midst of the battle Jonathan lies slain on your mountains. |
| 26我的兄弟約納堂，我為你萬分悲傷！你愛我之情，何等甜蜜！你對我的愛，勝於婦女之愛。 | 26I grieve for you, my brother Jonathan; how dear have you been to me! Your love for me was wonderful, even more than the love of women. |
| 27英雄怎會陣亡！戰爭的武器怎會喪亡！」 | 27How the valiant have fallen! The weapons of war have perished!" |
