撒母耳记上 17
1 非利士人招聚他们的军旅，要来争战；聚集在属犹大的梭哥，安营在梭哥和亚西加中间的以弗·大悯。
Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim.
2 扫罗和以色列人也聚集，在以拉谷安营，摆列队伍，要与非利士人打仗。
Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and camped in the Valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
3 非利士人站在这边山上，以色列人站在那边山上，当中有谷。
The Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
4 从非利士营中出来一个讨战的人，名叫歌利亚，是迦特人，身高六肘零一虎口；
There went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six feet eight inches.
5 头戴铜盔，身穿铠甲，甲重五千舍客勒；
He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he was clad with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze.
6 腿上有铜护膝，两肩之中背负铜戟；
And he had bronze shin guards on his legs, and a javelin of bronze between his shoulders.
7 枪杆粗如织布的机轴，铁枪头重六百舍客勒。有一个拿盾牌的人在他前面走。
The staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and his shield bearer went before him.
8 歌利亚对着以色列的军队站立，呼叫说：“你们出来摆列队伍做什么呢？我不是非利士人吗？你们不是扫罗的仆人吗？可以从你们中间拣选一人，使他下到我这里来。
He stood and shouted to the armies of Israel, and said to them, "Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.
9 他若能与我战斗，将我杀死，我们就作你们的仆人；我若胜了他，将他杀死，你们就作我们的仆人，服事我们。”
If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then you will be our servants, and serve us."
10 那非利士人又说：“我今日向以色列人的军队骂阵。你们叫一个人出来，与我战斗。”
The Philistine said, "I defy the armies of Israel this day. Give me a man, that we may fight together."
11 扫罗和以色列众人听见非利士人的这些话，就惊惶，极其害怕。
When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
12 大卫是犹大伯利恒的以法他人耶西的儿子。耶西有八个儿子。当扫罗的时候，耶西已经老迈。
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. And in the days of Saul the man was old and advanced in years.
13 耶西的三个大儿子跟随扫罗出征。这出征的三个儿子：长子名叫以利押，次子名叫亚比拿达，三子名叫沙玛。
The three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle. And the names of his sons who went to the battle were Eliab, the firstborn, and Abinadab, the second, and Shimeah, the third.
14 大卫是最小的；那三个大儿子跟随扫罗。
David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul.
15 大卫有时离开扫罗，回伯利恒放他父亲的羊。
Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
16 那非利士人早晚都出来站着，如此四十日。
The Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17 一日，耶西对他儿子大卫说：“你拿一伊法烘了的穗子和十个饼，速速地送到营里去，交给你哥哥们；
Jesse said to David his son, "Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp and give them to your brothers;
18 再拿这十块奶饼，送给他们的千夫长，且问你哥哥们好，向他们要一封信来。”
and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news."
19 扫罗与大卫的三个哥哥和以色列众人，在以拉谷与非利士人打仗。
Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20 大卫早晨起来，将羊交托一个看守的人，照着他父亲所吩咐的话，带着食物去了。到了辎重营，军兵刚出到战场，呐喊要战。
David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the place of the wagons, as the army which was going forth to the fight shouted for the battle.
21 以色列人和非利士人都摆列队伍，彼此相对。
Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.
22 大卫把他带来的食物留在看守物件人的手下，跑到战场，问他哥哥们安。
David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers.
23 与他们说话的时候，那讨战的，就是属迦特的非利士人歌利亚，从非利士队中出来，说从前所说的话；大卫都听见了。
As he talked with them, look, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words: and David heard them.
24 以色列众人看见那人，就逃跑，极其害怕。
All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were terrified.
25 以色列人彼此说：“这上来的人你看见了吗？他上来是要向以色列人骂阵。若有能杀他的，王必赏赐他大财，将自己的女儿给他为妻，并在以色列人中免他父家纳粮当差。”
The men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. It shall be, that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house exempt in Israel."
26 大卫问站在旁边的人说：“有人杀这非利士人，除掉以色列人的耻辱，怎样待他呢？这未受割礼的非利士人是谁呢？竟敢向永生 神的军队骂阵吗？”
David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away this disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"
27 百姓照先前的话回答他说：“有人能杀这非利士人，必如此如此待他。”
The people answered him in this way, saying, "So shall it be done to the man who kills him."
28 大卫的长兄以利押听见大卫与他们所说的话，就向他发怒，说：“你下来做什么呢？在旷野的那几只羊，你交托了谁呢？我知道你的骄傲和你心里的恶意，你下来特为要看争战！”
Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, "Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your insolence and the wickedness of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle."
29 大卫说：“我做了什么呢？我来岂没有缘故吗？”
David said, "What have I now done? Is there not a cause?"
30 大卫就离开他转向别人，照先前的话而问；百姓仍照先前的话回答他。
He turned away from him toward another, and spoke like that again; and the people answered him again the same way.
31 有人听见大卫所说的话，就告诉了扫罗；扫罗便打发人叫他来。
When the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him.
32 大卫对扫罗说：“人都不必因那非利士人胆怯。你的仆人要去与那非利士人战斗。”
David said to Saul, "Let not my lord's heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine."
33 扫罗对大卫说：“你不能去与那非利士人战斗；因为你年纪太轻，他自幼就作战士。”
Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth."
34 大卫对扫罗说：“你仆人为父亲放羊，有时来了狮子，有时来了熊，从群中衔一只羊羔去。
David said to Saul, "Your servant was keeping his father's sheep; and when a lion or a bear came, and took a lamb out of the flock,
35 我就追赶它，击打它，将羊羔从它口中救出来。它起来要害我，我就揪着它的胡子，将它打死。
I went out after him, and struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and struck him, and killed him.
36 你仆人曾打死狮子和熊，这未受割礼的非利士人向永生 神的军队骂阵，也必像狮子和熊一般。”
Your servant struck both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them. Should I not go and smite him, and remove this day a disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised one, since he has defied the armies of the living God?"
37 大卫又说：“耶和华救我脱离狮子和熊的爪，也必救我脱离这非利士人的手。”扫罗对大卫说：“你可以去吧！耶和华必与你同在。”
David said, "Jehovah who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine." Saul said to David, "Go; and Jehovah shall be with you."
38 扫罗就把自己的战衣给大卫穿上，将铜盔给他戴上，又给他穿上铠甲。
Saul dressed David with his clothing. He put a helmet of bronze on his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.
39 大卫把刀跨在战衣外，试试能走不能走；因为素来没有穿惯，就对扫罗说：“我穿戴这些不能走，因为素来没有穿惯。”于是摘脱了。
David strapped his sword on his clothing, and he tried to move; for he had not tested it. Then David said to Saul, "I can't go with these; for I have not tested them." So they took them off him.
40 他手中拿杖，又在溪中挑选了五块光滑石子，放在袋里，就是牧人带的囊里；手中拿着甩石的机弦，就去迎那非利士人。
He took his staff in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's bag which he had, even in his wallet. His sling was in his hand; and he drew near to the Philistine.
41 非利士人也渐渐地迎着大卫来，拿盾牌的走在前头。
The Philistine came on and drew near to David; and the man who bore the shield went before him.
42 非利士人观看，见了大卫，就藐视他；因为他年轻，面色光红，容貌俊美。
When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him, for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and handsome in appearance.
43 非利士人对大卫说：“你拿杖到我这里来，我岂是狗呢？”非利士人就指着自己的神咒诅大卫。
The Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with a stick and stones?" And David said, "No, worse than a dog." And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 非利士人又对大卫说：“来吧！我将你的肉给空中的飞鸟、田野的走兽吃。”
The Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the field."
45 大卫对非利士人说：“你来攻击我，是靠着刀枪和铜戟；我来攻击你，是靠着万军之耶和华的名，就是你所怒骂带领以色列军队的 神。
Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to you in the name of Jehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
46 今日耶和华必将你交在我手里。我必杀你，斩你的头，又将非利士军兵的尸首给空中的飞鸟、地上的野兽吃，使普天下的人都知道以色列中有 神；
Today, Jehovah will deliver you into my hand; and I will strike you, and take your head from off you. And I will give your corpse and the corpses of the Philistine army this very day to the birds of the air, and to the wild animals of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
47 又使这众人知道耶和华使人得胜，不是用刀用枪，因为争战的胜败全在乎耶和华。他必将你们交在我们手里。”
and that all this assembly may know that Jehovah doesn't save with sword and spear: for the battle is Jehovah's, and he will give you into our hand."
48 非利士人起身，迎着大卫前来。大卫急忙迎着非利士人，往战场跑去。
It happened, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 大卫用手从囊中掏出一块石子来，用机弦甩去，打中非利士人的额，石子进入额内，他就仆倒，面伏于地。
David put his hand in his bag, took a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.
50 这样，大卫用机弦甩石，胜了那非利士人，打死他；大卫手中却没有刀。
So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51 大卫跑去，站在非利士人身旁，将他的刀从鞘中拔出来，杀死他，割了他的头。非利士众人看见他们讨战的勇士死了，就都逃跑。
Then David ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him, and cut off his head therewith. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
52 以色列人和犹大人便起身呐喊，追赶非利士人，直到迦特和以革伦的城门。被杀的非利士人倒在沙拉音的路上，直到迦特和以革伦。
The men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued them as far as Gath, and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
53 以色列人追赶非利士人回来，就夺了他们的营盘。
The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
54 大卫将那非利士人的头拿到耶路撒冷，却将他军装放在自己的帐棚里。
David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.
55 扫罗看见大卫去攻击非利士人，就问元帅押尼珥说：“押尼珥啊，那少年人是谁的儿子？”押尼珥说：“我敢在王面前起誓，我不知道。”
When Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army, "Abner, whose son is this youth?" Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I can't tell."
56 王说：“你可以问问那幼年人是谁的儿子。”
The king said, "Inquire whose son the young man is."
57 大卫打死非利士人回来，押尼珥领他到扫罗面前，他手中拿着非利士人的头。
As David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
58 扫罗问他说：“少年人哪，你是谁的儿子？”大卫说：“我是你仆人伯利恒人耶西的儿子。”
Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, you young man?" David answered, "I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."
