1 Samuel 19

1 Then Saul ordered his son Jonathan and all his servants to kill David. But Jonathan delighted greatly in David,

1 扫罗吩咐他儿子约拿单和众臣仆去杀掉大卫。但约拿单非常喜爱大卫，

2 so he warned David, saying, “My father Saul intends to kill you. Be on your guard in the morning; find a secret place and hide there.

2 便告诉他，说：“我父亲要杀你，明天早上你要小心，找个僻静的地方躲起来。

3 I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, so I can ask about you. And if I find out anything, I will tell you.”

3 我会出去和父亲站在你藏身的田间，跟他提你的事，然后把消息告诉你。”

4 Then Jonathan spoke well of David to his father Saul and said to him, “The king should not sin against his servant David; he has not sinned against you. In fact, his actions have been highly beneficial to you.

4 约拿单就在父亲面前替大卫说好话，他说：“王不要伤害大卫，他从来没有对不起王，他所做的使王大受益处。

5 He took his life in his hands when he struck down the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”

5 他冒着生命危险去杀非利士人，耶和华使以色列人大获全胜，当时你看见了，非常欢喜，现在为什么要犯罪，枉杀无辜的大卫呢？”

6 Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan and swore an oath: “As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be put to death.”

6 扫罗听了约拿单的话，就凭永活的耶和华起誓说：“我不杀大卫。”

7 So Jonathan summoned David and told him all these things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and David was with Saul as before.

7 约拿单叫来大卫，把经过告诉他，带他去见扫罗，大卫又像以前一样伺候扫罗。

8 When war broke out again, David went out and fought the Philistines and struck them with such a mighty blow that they fled before him.

8 后来，战事再度爆发，大卫领兵与非利士人交战，大败敌人，杀得他们四散溃逃。

9 But as Saul was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand, a spirit of distress from the LORD came upon him. While David was playing the harp,

9 一天，扫罗手里拿着矛正坐在家中，从耶和华那里来的邪灵降临在扫罗身上。大卫正在弹琴，

10 Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear. But David eluded him and the spear struck the wall. And David fled and escaped that night.

10 扫罗想用矛把大卫刺透，钉在墙上，大卫躲开了，矛插在了墙上。大卫当晚逃走了。

11 Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and kill him in the morning. But David’s wife Michal warned him, “If you do not run for your life tonight, tomorrow you will be dead!”

11 扫罗派人去监视大卫的家，要在早上杀死他。大卫的妻子米甲警告他说：“你如果今晚不逃命，明早必死无疑。”

12 So Michal lowered David from the window, and he ran away and escaped.

12 于是，她从窗口把大卫缒下去，让他逃走了。

13 Then Michal took a household idol and laid it in the bed, placed some goat hair on its head, and covered it with a garment.

13 然后她把家中的神像放在床上，头枕在山羊毛的枕头上，盖上衣服。

14 When Saul sent the messengers to seize David, Michal said, “He is ill.”

14 扫罗派人来捉拿大卫的时候，米甲说他病了。

15 But Saul sent the messengers back to see David and told them, “Bring him up to me in his bed so I can kill him.”

15 扫罗又派人去见大卫，并吩咐说：“把他连床一起抬来，我好杀他。”

16 And when the messengers entered, there was the idol in the bed with the goat hair on its head.

16 众人进去发现躺在床上的是一个神像，头枕在山羊毛的枕头上。

17 And Saul said to Michal, “Why did you deceive me like this? You sent my enemy away, and he has escaped!” Michal replied, “He said to me, ‘Help me get away, or I will kill you!’”

17 扫罗问米甲：“你为什么欺骗我，让我的敌人逃走？”米甲答道：“他说如果我不让他逃走，就杀了我。”

18 So David ran away and escaped. And he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there.

18 大卫逃到住在拉玛的撒母耳那里，把扫罗的所作所为告诉他。后来，他和撒母耳去拿约住了下来。

19 When Saul was told that David was at Naioth in Ramah,

19 扫罗听说大卫在拉玛的拿约，

20 he sent messengers to seize him. But when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, with Samuel leading them, the Spirit of God came upon them, and Saul’s messengers also began to prophesy.

20 就派人去捉拿他。扫罗的人看到一群先知在说预言，撒母耳在当中带领他们。上帝的灵也临到扫罗的人，他们也说起预言来。

21 When this was reported to Saul, he sent more messengers, but they began to prophesy as well. So Saul tried again and sent messengers a third time, and even they began to prophesy.

21 扫罗听说后又派人去，派去的人也说起预言来。扫罗第三次派人去，派去的人同样说起预言来。

22 Finally, Saul himself left for Ramah and came to the large cistern at Secu, where he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” “At Naioth in Ramah,” he was told.

22 最后扫罗亲自前往拉玛，走到西沽的大井，问撒母耳和大卫在哪里，有人说在拉玛的拿约。

23 So Saul went to Naioth in Ramah. But the Spirit of God came upon even Saul, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

23 扫罗便去拉玛的拿约。上帝的灵临到扫罗，他就一边走一边说起预言来，一直到拉玛的拿约。

24 Then Saul stripped off his robes and also prophesied before Samuel. And he collapsed and lay naked all that day and night. That is why it is said, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”

24 他脱下自己的衣服，在撒母耳面前说起预言来。他赤身躺了一天一夜。因此有句俗语说：“扫罗也在先知当中吗？”
