# 撒下-2Sa 15 ## 撒下15:1 此后，押沙龙为自己预备车马，又派五十人在他前头奔走。 2Sa 15:1 “After this Absalom got himself a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.” ## 撒下15:2 押沙龙常常早晨起来，站在城门的道旁，凡有争讼要去求王判断的，押沙龙就叫他过来，问他说：“你是哪一城的人？”回答说：“仆人是以色列某支派的人。” 2Sa 15:2 “And Absalom used to rise early and stand beside the way of the gate. And when any man had a dispute to come before the king for judgment, Absalom would call to him and say, “From what city are you?” And when he said, “Your servant is of such and such a tribe in Israel,” ## 撒下15:3 押沙龙对他说：“你的事有情有理，无奈王没有委人听你伸诉。” 2Sa 15:3 “Absalom would say to him, “See, your claims are good and right, but there is no man designated by the king to hear you.” ## 撒下15:4 押沙龙又说：“恨不得我作国中的士师！凡有争讼求审判的，到我这里来，我必秉公判断。” 2Sa 15:4 “Then Absalom would say, “Oh that I were judge in the land! Then every man with a dispute or cause might come to me, and I would give him justice.” ## 撒下15:5 若有人近前来要拜押沙龙，押沙龙就伸手拉住他，与他亲嘴。 2Sa 15:5 “And whenever a man came near to pay homage to him, he would put out his hand and take hold of him and kiss him.” ## 撒下15:6 以色列人中，凡去见王求判断的，押沙龙都是如此待他们。这样，押沙龙暗中得了以色列人的心。 2Sa 15:6 Thus Absalom did to all of Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel. ## 撒下15:7 满了四十年(有作“四年”的)，押沙龙对王说：“求你准我往希伯仑去，还我向耶和华所许的愿。 2Sa 15:7 “And at the end of four years Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.” ## 撒下15:8 因为仆人住在亚兰的基述，曾许愿说，耶和华若使我再回耶路撒冷，我必事奉他。” 2Sa 15:8 “For your servant vowed a vow while I lived at Geshur in Aram, saying, ‘If the LORD will indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will offer worship to the LORD.’” ## 撒下15:9 王说：“你平平安安地去吧！”押沙龙就起身，往希伯仑去了。 2Sa 15:9 “The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron.” ## 撒下15:10 押沙龙打发探子走遍以色列各支派，说：“你们一听见角声，就说，押沙龙在希伯仑作王了。” 2Sa 15:10 “But Absalom sent secret messengers throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then say, ‘Absalom is king at Hebron!’” ## 撒下15:11 押沙龙在耶路撒冷请了二百人与他同去，都是诚诚实实去的，并不知道其中的真情。 2Sa 15:11 “With Absalom went two hundred men from Jerusalem who were invited guests, and they went in their innocence and knew nothing.” ## 撒下15:12 押沙龙献祭的时候，打发人去将大卫的谋士基罗人亚希多弗，从他本城请了来。于是叛逆的势派甚大，因为随从押沙龙的人民，日渐增多。 2Sa 15:12 “And while Absalom was offering the sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city Giloh. And the conspiracy grew strong, and the people with Absalom kept increasing.” ## 撒下15:13 有人报告大卫说：“以色列人的心，都归向押沙龙了！” 2Sa 15:13 “And a messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel have gone after Absalom.” ## 撒下15:14 大卫就对耶路撒冷跟随他的臣仆说：“我们要起来逃走，不然都不能躲避押沙龙了；要速速地去，恐怕他忽然来到，加害于我们，用刀杀尽合城的人！” 2Sa 15:14 “Then David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise, and let us flee, or else there will be no escape for us from Absalom. Go quickly, lest he overtake us quickly and bring down ruin on us and strike the city with the edge of the sword.” ## 撒下15:15 王的臣仆对王说：“我主我王所定的，仆人都愿遵行。” 2Sa 15:15 “And the king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king decides.” ## 撒下15:16 于是王带着全家的人出去了，但留下十个妃嫔看守宫殿。 2Sa 15:16 “So the king went out, and all his household after him. And the king left ten concubines to keep the house.” ## 撒下15:17 王出去，众民都跟随他，到伯墨哈，就住下了。 2Sa 15:17 “And the king went out, and all the people after him. And they halted at the last house.” ## 撒下15:18 王的臣仆都在他面前过去。基利提人，比利提人，就是从迦特跟随王来的六百人，也都在他面前过去。 2Sa 15:18 “And all his servants passed by him, and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the six hundred Gittites who had followed him from Gath, passed on before the king.” ## 撒下15:19 王对迦特人以太说：“你是外邦逃来的人，为什么与我们同去呢？你可以回去，与新王同住，或者回你本地去吧！ 2Sa 15:19 “Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you also go with us? Go back and stay with the king, for you are a foreigner and also an exile from your home.” ## 撒下15:20 你来的日子不多，我今日怎好叫你与我们一同飘流，没有一定的住处呢？你不如带你的弟兄回去吧！愿耶和华用慈爱诚实待你。” 2Sa 15:20 “You came only yesterday, and shall I today make you wander about with us, since I go I know not where? Go back and take your brothers with you, and may the LORD show steadfast love and faithfulness to you.” ## 撒下15:21 以太对王说：“我指着永生的耶和华起誓，又敢在王面前起誓；无论生死，王在哪里，仆人也必在哪里。” 2Sa 15:21 “But Ittai answered the king, “As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, there also will your servant be.” ## 撒下15:22 大卫对以太说：“你前去过河吧！”于是迦特人以太带着跟随他的人和所有的妇人孩子，就都过去了。 2Sa 15:22 “And David said to Ittai, “Go then, pass on.” So Ittai the Gittite passed on with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.” ## 撒下15:23 本地的人，都放声大哭，众民尽都过去，王也过了汲沦溪。众民往旷野去了。 2Sa 15:23 “And all the land wept aloud as all the people passed by, and the king crossed the brook Kidron, and all the people passed on toward the wilderness.” ## 撒下15:24 撒督和抬神约柜的利未人，也一同来了，将神的约柜放下。亚比亚他上来，等着众民从城里出来过去。 2Sa 15:24 “And Abiathar came up, and behold, Zadok came also with all the Levites, bearing the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God until the people had all passed out of the city.” ## 撒下15:25 王对撒督说：“你将神的约柜抬回城去。我若在耶和华眼前蒙恩，他必使我回来，再见约柜和他的居所。 2Sa 15:25 “Then the king said to Zadok, “Carry the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me back and let me see both it and his dwelling place.” ## 撒下15:26 倘若他说，我不喜悦你。看哪！我在这里，愿他凭自己的意旨待我！” 2Sa 15:26 “But if he says, ‘I have no pleasure in you,’ behold, here I am, let him do to me what seems good to him.” ## 撒下15:27 王又对祭司撒督说：“你不是先见吗？你可以安然回城；你儿子亚希玛斯和亚比亚他的儿子约拿单，都可以与你同去。 2Sa 15:27 “The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a seer? Go back to the city in peace, with your two sons, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.” ## 撒下15:28 我在旷野的渡口那里等你们报信给我。” 2Sa 15:28 “See, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.” ## 撒下15:29 于是撒督和亚比亚他将神的约柜抬回耶路撒冷，他们就住在那里。 2Sa 15:29 “So Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark of God back to Jerusalem, and they remained there.” ## 撒下15:30 大卫蒙头赤脚上橄榄山，一面上，一面哭。跟随他的人，也都蒙头哭着上去。 2Sa 15:30 “But David went up the ascent of the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went, barefoot and with his head covered. And all the people who were with him covered their heads, and they went up, weeping as they went.” ## 撒下15:31 有人告诉大卫说：“亚希多弗也在叛党之中，随从押沙龙。”大卫祷告说：“耶和华啊！求你使亚希多弗的计谋变为愚拙。” 2Sa 15:31 “And it was told David, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.” ## 撒下15:32 大卫到了山顶，敬拜神的地方，见亚基人户筛，衣服撕裂，头蒙灰尘，来迎接他。 2Sa 15:32 “While David was coming to the summit, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn and dirt on his head.” ## 撒下15:33 大卫对他说：“你若与我同去，必累赘我； 2Sa 15:33 “David said to him, “If you go on with me, you will be a burden to me.” ## 撒下15:34 你若回城去，对押沙龙说：‘王啊！我愿作你的仆人；我向来作你父亲的仆人，现在我也照样作你的仆人。’这样，你就可以为我破坏亚希多弗的计谋。 2Sa 15:34 “But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father’s servant in time past, so now I will be your servant,’ then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.” ## 撒下15:35 祭司撒督和亚比亚他，岂不都在那里吗？你在王宫里听见什么，就要告诉祭司撒督和亚比亚他。 2Sa 15:35 “Are not Zadok and Abiathar the priests with you there? So whatever you hear from the king’s house, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.” ## 撒下15:36 撒督的儿子亚希玛斯，亚比亚他的儿子约拿单，也都在那里。凡你们所听见的，可以托这二人来报告我。” 2Sa 15:36 “Behold, their two sons are with them there, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son, and by them you shall send to me everything you hear.” ## 撒下15:37 于是大卫的朋友户筛进了城，押沙龙也进了耶路撒冷。 2Sa 15:37 “So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city, just as Absalom was entering Jerusalem.”
