2 Samuel 1
1 And so it was, after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the smiting of the Amalekites, and David had abode in Ziklag two days,
扫罗死后，大卫击杀亚玛力人回来，在洗革拉住了两天。
2 yea so it was, on the third day, that lo! a man came out of the camp, from Saul, with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head, —and so it was, when he came in unto David, that he fell to the earth, and did homage.
第三天，有一人从扫罗的营里出来，衣服撕裂，头蒙灰尘，到大卫面前伏地叩拜。
3 And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel, am I escaped.
大卫问他说：“你从哪里来？”他说：“我从以色列的营里逃来。”
4 And David said unto him—How turned out the matter? tell me, I pray thee. And he said—The people have fled from the battle, yea moreover, many, of the people have fallen, and died, Yea moreover, Saul, and Jonathan his son, are dead.
大卫又问他说：“事情怎样？请你告诉我。”他回答说：“百姓从阵上逃跑，也有许多人仆倒死亡；扫罗和他儿子约拿单也死了。”
5 Then said David unto the young man who was telling him, —How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
大卫问报信的少年人说：“你怎么知道扫罗和他儿子约拿单死了呢？”
6 And the young man who was telling him said, It, so happened, that I was on Mount Gilboa, when lo! Saul, leaning upon his spear, and lo! the chariots and horsemen, hotly pursued him;
报信的少年人说：“我偶然到基利波山，看见扫罗伏在自己枪上，有战车、马兵紧紧地追他。
7 so he turned behind him, and saw me, —and cried out unto me, and I said, Behold me!
他回头看见我，就呼叫我。我说：‘我在这里。’
8 And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I said unto him, An Amalekite, am I.
他问我说：‘你是什么人？’我说：‘我是亚玛力人。’
9 And he said unto me, I pray thee, take thy stand by me, and put me to death, for the cramp hath seized me, —even for as long as my life shall be in me.
他说：‘请你来，将我杀死；因为痛苦抓住我，我的生命尚存。’
10 So I took my stand by him, and put him to death, for I perceived that he could not survive his fall, —so I took the crown that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them in unto my lord, here.
我准知他仆倒必不能活，就去将他杀死，把他头上的冠冕、臂上的镯子拿到我主这里。”
11 Then David took hold of his clothes, and rent them, —yea moreover, [so did] all the men who were with him.
大卫就撕裂衣服，跟随他的人也是如此，
12 And they lamented aloud, and wept, and fasted until the evening, —for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Yahweh, and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
而且悲哀哭号，禁食到晚上，是因扫罗和他儿子约拿单，并耶和华的民以色列家的人，倒在刀下。
13 And David said unto the young man who was telling him, Whence art thou? And he said, Son of a sojourner—an Amalekite, am I.
大卫问报信的少年人说：“你是哪里的人？”他说：“我是亚玛力客人的儿子。”
14 And David said unto him, —How wast thou not afraid to thrust forth thy hand, to destroy the Anointed of Yahweh?
大卫说：“你伸手杀害耶和华的受膏者，怎么不畏惧呢？”
15 So David called one of the young men, and said, —Go near—fall upon him. And he smote him, that he died.
大卫叫了一个少年人来，说：“你去杀他吧！”
16 And David said unto him, Thy blood, be upon thine own head, —for, thine own mouth, hath testified against thee, saying, I myself, put to death the Anointed of Yahweh.
大卫对他说：“你流人血的罪归到自己的头上，因为你亲口作见证说：‘我杀了耶和华的受膏者。’”少年人就把他杀了。
17 Then chanted David this dirge, —over Saul and over Jonathan his son;
大卫作哀歌，吊扫罗和他儿子约拿单，
18 and he thought to teach the sons of Judah [the song of] the Bow, —lo! it is written in the Book of the Upright: —
且吩咐将这歌教导犹大人。这歌名叫“弓歌”，写在雅煞珥书上。
19 The beauty of Israel! on thy high plumes—slain! How have fallen—the mighty!
歌中说：以色列啊， 你尊荣者在山上被杀！ 大英雄何竟死亡！
20 Do not tell it in Gath, Do not publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, —lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the Uncircumcised triumph.
不要在迦特报告； 不要在亚实基伦街上传扬； 免得非利士的女子欢乐； 免得未受割礼之人的女子矜夸。
21 Ye mountains in Gilboa! Be there neither dew nor rain upon you, nor fields of offerings, —for, there, were cast away, the shields of the mighty, The shield of Saul, unanointed with oil.
基利波山哪，愿你那里没有雨露！ 愿你田地无土产可作供物！ 因为英雄的盾牌在那里被污丢弃； 扫罗的盾牌仿佛未曾抹油。
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan ne’er drew back, —and, the sword of Saul, ne’er returned, empty.
约拿单的弓箭非流敌人的血不退缩； 扫罗的刀剑非剖勇士的油不收回。
23 Saul and Jonathan, delightfully loving in their lives, even, in their death, were not divided, —Beyond eagles, were they swift, beyond lions, were they strong!
扫罗和约拿单— 活时相悦相爱，死时也不分离 —他们比鹰更快，比狮子还强。
24 Ye daughters of Israel! For Saul, weep ye, —who clothed you in crimson, [decked] with lovely things, who hung ornaments of gold on your apparel!
以色列的女子啊，当为扫罗哭号！ 他曾使你们穿朱红色的美衣， 使你们衣服有黄金的妆饰。
25 How have fallen the mighty, in the midst of the battle! Jonathan, on thy high places, slain!
英雄何竟在阵上仆倒！ 约拿单何竟在山上被杀！
26 I am distressed for thee, my brother, Jonathan! Delightful to me, exceedingly, —Wonderful, was thy love to me, passing the love of women.
我兄约拿单哪，我为你悲伤！ 我甚喜悦你！ 你向我发的爱情奇妙非常， 过于妇女的爱情。
27 How have fallen the mighty, and perished the weapons of war!
英雄何竟仆倒！ 战具何竟灭没！
