hear？
15：15扫罗说，这是百姓从亚玛力人那里带来的。因为他们爱惜上好的牛羊，要献与耶和华你的神。其馀的，我们都灭尽了。
And Saul said； They have brought them from the Amalekites： for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen； to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God； and the rest we have utterly destroyed。
15：16撒母耳对扫罗说，你住口吧。等我将耶和华昨夜向我所说的话告诉你。扫罗说，请讲。
Then Samuel said unto Saul； Stay； and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night。 And he said unto him； Say on。
15：17撒母耳对扫罗说，从前你虽然以自己为小，岂不是被立为以色列支派的元首吗。耶和华膏你作以色列的王。
And Samuel said； When thou wast little in thine own sight； wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel； and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel？
15：18耶和华差遣你，吩咐你说，你去击打那些犯罪的亚玛力人，将他们灭绝净尽。
And the LORD sent thee on a journey； and said； Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites； and fight against them until they be consumed。
15：19你为何没有听从耶和华的命令，急忙掳掠财物，行耶和华眼中看为恶的事呢。
Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD； but didst fly upon the spoil； and didst evil in the sight of the LORD？
15：20扫罗对撒母耳说，我实在听从了耶和华的命令，行了耶和华所差遣我行的路，擒了亚玛力王亚甲来，灭尽了亚玛力人。
And Saul said unto Samuel； Yea； I have obeyed the voice of the LORD； and have gone the way which the LORD sent me； and have brought Agag the king of Amalek； and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites。
15：21百姓却在所当灭的物中取了最好的牛羊，要在吉甲献与耶和华你的神。
But the people took of the spoil； sheep and oxen； the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed； to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal。
15：22撒母耳说，耶和华喜悦燔祭和平安祭，岂如喜悦人听从他的话呢。听命胜于献祭。顺从胜于公羊的脂油。
And Samuel said； Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices； as in obeying the voice of the LORD？ Behold； to obey is better than sacrifice； and to hearken than the fat of rams。
15：23悖逆的罪与行邪术的罪相等。顽梗的罪与拜虚神和偶像的罪相同。你既厌弃耶和华的命令，耶和华也厌弃你作王。
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft； and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry。 Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD； he hath also rejected thee from being king。
15：24扫罗对撒母耳说，我有罪了，我因惧怕百姓，听从他们的话，就违背了耶和华的命令和你的言语。
And Saul said unto Samuel； I have sinned： for I have transgressed the mandment of the LORD； and thy words： because I feared the people； and obeyed their voice。
15：25现在求你赦免我的罪，同我回去，我好敬拜耶和华。
Now therefore； I pray thee； pardon my sin； and turn again with me； that I may worship the LORD。
15：26撒母耳对扫罗说，我不同你回去。因为你厌弃耶和华的命令，耶和华也厌弃你作以色列的王。
And Samuel said unto Saul； I will not return with thee： for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD； and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel。
15：27撒母耳转身要走，扫罗就扯住他外袍的衣襟，衣襟就撕断了。
And as Samuel turned about to go away； he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle； and it rent。
15：28撒母耳对他说，如此，今日耶和华使以色列国与你断绝，将这国赐与比你更好的人。
And Samuel said unto him； The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day； and hath given it to a neighbour of thine； that is better than thou。
15：29以色列的大能者必不致说谎，也不致后悔。因为他迥非世人，决不后悔。
And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent： for he is not a man； that he should repent。
15：30扫罗说，我有罪了，虽然如此，求你在我百姓的长老和以色列人面前抬举我，同我回去，我好敬拜耶和华你的神。
Then he said； I have sinned： yet honour me now； I pray thee； before the elders of my people； and before Israel； and turn again with me； that I may worship the LORD thy God。
15：31于是撒母耳转身跟随扫罗回去，扫罗就敬拜耶和华。
So Samuel turned again after Saul； and Saul worshipped the LORD。
15：32撒母耳说，要把亚玛力王亚甲带到我这里来。亚甲就欢欢喜喜地来到他面前，心里说，死亡的苦难必定过去了。
Then said Samuel； Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites。 And Agag came unto him delicately。 And Agag said； Surely the bitterness of death is past。
15：33撒母耳说，你既用刀使妇人丧子，这样，你母亲在妇人中也必丧子。于是，撒母耳在吉甲耶和华面前将亚甲杀死。
And Samuel said； As thy sword hath made women childless； so shall thy mother be childless among women。 And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal。
15：34撒母耳回了拉玛。扫罗上他所住的基比亚，回自己的家去了。
Then Samuel went to Ramah； and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul。
15：35撒母耳直到死的日子，再没有见扫罗。但撒母耳为扫罗悲伤，是因耶和华后悔立他为以色列的王。
And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death： nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul： and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel。
旧约 撒母耳记上（1 Samuel） 第 16 章 （ 本篇共有 31 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
16：1耶和华对撒母耳说，我既厌弃扫罗作以色列的王，你为他悲伤要到几时呢。你将膏油盛满了角，我差遣你往伯利恒人耶西那里去。因为我在他众子之内，预定一个作王的。
And the LORD said unto Samuel； How long wilt thou mourn for Saul； seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel？ fill thine horn with oil； and go； I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite： for I have provided me a king among his sons。
16：2撒母耳说，我怎能去呢。扫罗若听见，必要杀我。耶和华说，你可以带一只牛犊去，就说，我来是要向耶和华献祭。
And Samuel said； How can I go？ if Saul hear it； he will kill me。 And the LORD said； Take an heifer with thee； and say； I am e to sacrifice to the LORD。
16：3你要请耶西来吃祭肉，我就指示你所当行的事。我所指给你的人，你要膏他。
And call Jesse to the sacrifice； and I will shew thee what thou shalt do： and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee。
16：4撒母耳就照耶和华的话去行。到了伯利恒，那城里的长老都战战兢兢地出来迎接他，问他说，你是为平安来的吗。
And Samuel did that which the LORD spake； and came to Bethlehem。 And the elders of the town trembled at his ing； and said； est thou peaceably？
16：5他说，为平安来的，我是给耶和华献祭。你们当自洁，来与我同吃祭肉。撒母耳就使耶西和他众子自洁，请他们来吃祭肉。
And he said； Peaceably： I am e to sacrifice unto the LORD： sanctify yourselves； and e with me to the sacrifice。 And he sanctified Jesse and his sons； and called them to the sacrifice。
16：6他们来的时候，撒母耳看见以利押，就心里说，耶和华的受膏者必定在他面前。
And it came to pass； when they were e； that he looked on Eliab； and said； Surely the LORD's anointed is before him。
16：7耶和华却对撒母耳说，不要看他的外貌和他身材高大，我不拣选他。因为，耶和华不像人看人，人是看外貌。耶和华是看内心。
But the LORD said unto Samuel； Look not on his countenance； or on the height of his stature； because I have refused him： for the LORD seeth not as man seeth； for man looketh on the outward appearance； but the LORD looketh on the heart。
16：8耶西叫亚比拿达从撒母耳面前经过，撒母耳说，耶和华也不拣选他。
Then Jesse called Abinadab； and made him pass before Samuel。 And he said； Neither hath the LORD chosen this。
16：9耶西又叫沙玛从撒母耳面前经过，撒母耳说，耶和华也不拣选他。
Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by。 And he said； Neither hath the LORD chosen this。
16：10耶西叫他七个儿子都从撒母耳面前经过，撒母耳说，这都不是耶和华所拣选的。
Again； Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel。 And Samuel said unto Jesse； The LORD hath not chosen these。
16：11撒母耳对耶西说，你的儿子都在这里吗。他回答说，还有个小的，现在放羊。撒母耳对耶西说，你打发人去叫他来。他若不来，我们必不坐席。
And Samuel said unto Jesse； Are here all thy children？ And he said； There remaineth yet the youngest； and； behold； he keepeth the sheep。 And Samuel said unto Jesse； Send and fetch him： for we will not sit down till he e hither。
16：12耶西就打发人去叫了他来。他面色光红，双目清秀，容貌俊美。耶和华说，这就是他，你起来膏他。
And he sent； and brought him in。 Now he was ruddy； and withal of a beautiful countenance； and goodly to look to。 And the LORD said； Arise； anoint him： for this is he。
16：13撒母耳就用角里的膏油，在他诸兄中膏了他。从这日起，耶和华的灵就大大感动大卫。撒母耳起身回拉玛去了。
Then Samuel took the horn of oil； and anointed him in the midst of his brethren： and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward。 So Samuel rose up； and went to Ramah。
16：14耶和华的灵离开扫罗，有恶魔从耶和华那里来扰乱他。
But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul； and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him。
16：15扫罗的臣仆对他说，现在有恶魔从神那里来扰乱你。
And Saul's servants said unto him； Behold now； an evil spirit from God troubleth thee。
16：16我们的主可以吩咐面前的臣仆，找一个善于弹琴的来，等神那里来的恶魔临到你身上的时候，使他用手弹琴，你就好了。
Let our lord now mand thy servants； which are before thee； to seek out a man； who is a cunning player on an harp： and it shall e to pass； when the evil spirit from God is upon thee； that he shall play with his hand； and thou shalt be well。
16：17扫罗对臣仆说，你们可以为我找一个善于弹琴的，带到我这里来。
And Saul said unto his servants； Provide me now a man that can play well； and bring him to me。
16：18其中有一个少年人说，我曾见伯利恒人耶西的一个儿子善于弹琴，是大有勇敢的战士，说话合宜，容貌俊美，耶和华也与他同在。
