1 Samuel 17

1 Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war at Socoh in Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim.

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。

2 Saul and the men of Israel assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah, arraying themselves for battle against the Philistines.

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。

3 The Philistines stood on one hill and the Israelites stood on another, with the valley between them.

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。

4 Then a champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out from the Philistine camp. He was six cubits and a span in height,

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；

5 and he had a bronze helmet on his head. He wore a bronze coat of mail weighing five thousand shekels,

5 头戴铜盔，身穿铠甲，甲重五千舍客勒；

6 and he had armor of bronze on his legs and a javelin of bronze slung between his shoulders.

6 腿上有铜护膝，两肩之中背负铜戟；

7 The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. In addition, his shield bearer went before him.

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。

8 And Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and array yourselves for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose one of your men and have him come down against me.

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。

9 If he is able to fight me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and work for us.”

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。」

10 Then the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel this day! Give me a man to fight!”

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。」

11 On hearing the words of the Philistine, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and greatly afraid.

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。

12 Now David was the son of a man named Jesse, an Ephrathite from Bethlehem of Judah who had eight sons. And in the days of Saul, Jesse was old and well along in years.

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。

13 The three older sons of Jesse had followed Saul into battle: The firstborn was Eliab, the second was Abinadab, and the third was Shammah.

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。

14 And David was the youngest. The three oldest had followed Saul,

14 大卫是最小的；那三个大儿子跟随扫罗。

15 but David went back and forth from Saul to tend his father’s sheep in Bethlehem.

15 大卫有时离开扫罗，回伯利恒放他父亲的羊。

16 For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening to take his stand.

16 那非利士人早晚都出来站着，如此四十日。

17 One day Jesse said to his son David, “Take this ephah of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp.

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；

18 Take also these ten portions of cheese to the commander of their unit. Check on the welfare of your brothers and bring back an assurance from them.

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。」

19 They are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines.”

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。

20 So David got up early in the morning, left the flock with a keeper, loaded up, and set out as Jesse had instructed him. He reached the camp as the army was marching out to its position and shouting the battle cry.

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。

21 And Israel and the Philistines arrayed in formation against each other.

21 以色列人和非利士人都摆列队伍，彼此相对。

22 Then David left his supplies in the care of the quartermaster and ran to the battle line. When he arrived, he asked his brothers how they were doing.

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。

23 And as he was speaking with them, suddenly the champion named Goliath, the Philistine from Gath, came forward from the ranks of the Philistines and shouted his usual words, which David also heard.

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。

24 When all the men of Israel saw Goliath, they fled from him in great fear.

24 以色列众人看见那人，就逃跑，极其害怕。

25 Now the men of Israel had been saying, “Do you see how this man keeps coming out to defy Israel? To the man who kills him the king will give great riches. And he will give him his daughter in marriage and exempt his father’s house from taxation in Israel.”

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。」

26 David asked the men who were standing with him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Just who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”

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？」

27 The people told him about the offer, saying, “That is what will be done for the man who kills him.”

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。」

28 Now when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, his anger burned against David. “Why have you come down here?” he asked. “And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and wickedness of heart—you have come down to see the battle!”

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！」

29 “What have I done now?” said David. “Was it not just a question?”

29 大卫说：「我做了什么呢？我来岂没有缘故吗？」

30 Then he turned from him toward another and asked about the offer, and those people answered him just as the first ones had answered.

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。

31 Now David’s words were overheard and reported to Saul, who sent for him.

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。

32 And David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail on account of this Philistine. Your servant will go and fight 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。」

33 But Saul replied, “You cannot go out against this Philistine to fight him. You are just a boy, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”

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。」

34 David replied, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep, and whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock,

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。

35 I went after it, struck it down, and delivered the lamb from its mouth. If it reared up against me, I would grab it by its fur, strike it down, and kill it.

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。

36 Your servant has killed lions and bears; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.”

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。」

37 David added, “The LORD, who delivered me from the claws of the lion and the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” “Go,” said Saul, “and may the LORD be with you.”

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。」

38 Then Saul clothed David in his own tunic, put a bronze helmet on his head, and dressed him in armor.

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。

39 David strapped his sword over the tunic and tried to walk, but he was not accustomed to them. “I cannot walk in these,” David said to Saul. “I am not accustomed to them.” So David took them off.

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。

40 And David took his staff in his hand, selected five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag. And with his sling in hand, he approached the Philistine.

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。

41 Now the Philistine came closer and closer to David, with his shield-bearer before him.

41 非利士人也渐渐地迎着大卫来，拿盾牌的走在前头。

42 When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him because he was just a boy, ruddy and handsome.

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。

43 “Am I a dog,” he said to David, “that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

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。

44 “Come here,” he called to David, “and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”

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。」

45 But David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

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。

46 This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand. This day I will strike you down, cut off your head, and give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the creatures of the earth. Then the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.

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；

47 And all those assembled here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give all of you into our hands.”

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。」

48 As the Philistine started forward to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.

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。

49 Then David reached into his bag, took out a stone, and slung it, striking the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.

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。

50 Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.

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。

51 David ran and stood over him. He grabbed the Philistine’s sword and pulled it from its sheath and killed him, and he cut off his head with the sword. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.

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。

52 Then the men of Israel and Judah charged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron. And the bodies of the Philistines were strewn along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron.

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。

53 When the Israelites returned from their pursuit of the Philistines, they plundered their camps.

53 以色列人追赶非利士人回来，就夺了他们的营盘。

54 David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, and he put Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.

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。

55 As Saul had watched David going out to confront the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this young man?” “As surely as you live, O king,” Abner replied, “I do not know.”

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。」

56 “Find out whose son this young man is!” said the king.

56 王说：「你可以问问那幼年人是谁的儿子。」

57 So when David returned from killing the Philistine, still holding his head in his hand, Abner took him and brought him before Saul.

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。

58 “Whose son are you, young man?” asked Saul. “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem,” David replied.

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。」
