24：3到了路旁的羊圈，在那里有洞，扫罗进去大解。大卫和跟随他的人正藏在洞里的深处。
And he came to the sheepcotes by the way； where was a cave； and Saul went in to cover his feet： and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave。
24：4跟随的人对大卫说，耶和华曾应许你说，我要将你的仇敌交在你手里，你可以任意待他。如今时候到了。大卫就起来，悄悄地割下扫罗外袍的衣襟。
And the men of David said unto him； Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee； Behold； I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand； that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee。 Then David arose； and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily。
24：5随后大卫心中自责，因为割下扫罗的衣襟。
And it came to pass afterward； that David's heart smote him； because he had cut off Saul's skirt。
24：6对跟随他的人说，我的主乃是耶和华的受膏者，我在耶和华面前万不敢伸手害他，因他是耶和华的受膏者。
And he said unto his men； The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master； the LORD's anointed； to stretch forth mine hand against him； seeing he is the anointed of the LORD。
24：7大卫用这话拦住跟随他的人，不容他们起来害扫罗。扫罗起来，从洞里出去行路。
So David stayed his servants with these words； and suffered them not to rise against Saul。 But Saul rose up out of the cave； and went on his way。
24：8随后大卫也起来，从洞里出去，呼叫扫罗说，我主，我王。扫罗回头观看，大卫就屈身，脸伏于地下拜。
David also arose afterward； and went out of the cave； and cried after Saul； saying； My lord the king。 And when Saul looked behind him； David stooped with his face to the earth； and bowed himself。
24：9大卫对扫罗说，你为何听信人的谗言，说大卫想要害你呢。
And David said to Saul； Wherefore hearest thou men's words； saying； Behold； David seeketh thy hurt？
24：10今日你亲眼看见在洞中，耶和华将你交在我手里。有人叫我杀你，我却爱惜你，说，我不敢伸手害我的主，因为他是耶和华的受膏者。
Behold； this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave： and some bade me kill thee： but mine eye spared thee； and I said； I will not put forth mine hand against my lord； for he is the LORD's anointed。
24：11我父阿，看看你外袍的衣襟在我手中。我割下你的衣襟，没有杀你。你由此可以知道我没有恶意叛逆你。你虽然猎取我的命，我却没有得罪你。
Moreover； my father； see； yea； see the skirt of thy robe in my hand： for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe； and killed thee not； know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand； and I have not sinned against thee； yet thou huntest my soul to take it。
24：12愿耶和华在你我中间判断是非，在你身上为我伸冤，我却不亲手加害于你。
The LORD judge between me and thee； and the LORD avenge me of thee： but mine hand shall not be upon thee。
24：13古人有句俗语说，恶事出于恶人。我却不亲手加害于你。
As saith the proverb of the ancients； Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked： but mine hand shall not be upon thee。
24：14以色列王出来要寻梢谁呢。追赶谁呢。不过追赶一条死狗，一个虼蚤就是了。
After whom is the king of Israel e out？ after whom dost thou pursue？ after a dead dog； after a flea。
24：15愿耶和华在你我中间施行审判，断定是非，并且鉴察，为我伸冤，救我脱离你的手。
The LORD therefore be judge； and judge between me and thee； and see； and plead my cause； and deliver me out of thine hand。
24：16大卫向扫罗说完这话，扫罗说，我儿大卫，这是你的声音吗。就放声大哭，
And it came to pass； when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul； that Saul said； Is this thy voice； my son David？ And Saul lifted up his voice； and wept。
24：17对大卫说，你比我公义。因为你以善待我，我却以恶待你。
And he said to David； Thou art more righteous than I： for thou hast rewarded me good； whereas I have rewarded thee evil。
24：18你今日显明是以善待我。因为耶和华将我交在你手里，你却没有杀我。
And thou hast shewed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me： forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into thine hand； thou killedst me not。
24：19人若遇见仇敌，岂肯放他平安无事地去呢。愿耶和华因你今日向我所行的，以善报你。
For if a man find his enemy； will he let him go well away？ wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me this day。
24：20我也知道你必要作王，以色列的国必坚立在你手里。
And now； behold； I know well that thou shalt surely be king； and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand。
24：21现在你要指着耶和华向我起誓，不剪除我的后裔，在我父家不灭没我的名。
Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD； that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me； and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house。
24：22于是大卫向扫罗起誓，扫罗就回家去。大卫和跟随他的人上山寨去了。
And David sware unto Saul。 And Saul went home； but David and his men gat them up unto the hold。
旧约 撒母耳记上（1 Samuel） 第 25 章 （ 本篇共有 31 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
25：1撒母耳死了，以色列众人聚集，为他哀哭，将他葬在拉玛他自己的坟墓（原文作房屋）里。大卫起身，下到巴兰的旷野。
And Samuel died； and all the Israelites were gathered together； and lamented him； and buried him in his house at Ramah。 And David arose； and went down to the wilderness of Paran。
25：2在玛云有一个人，他的产业在迦密，是一个大富户，有三千绵羊，一千山羊。他正在迦密剪羊毛。
And there was a man in Maon； whose possessions were in Carmel； and the man was very great； and he had three thousand sheep； and a thousand goats： and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel。
25：3那人名叫拿八，是迦勒族的人。他的妻名叫亚比该，是聪明俊美的妇人。拿八为人刚愎凶恶。
Now the name of the man was Nabal； and the name of his wife Abigail： and she was a woman of good understanding； and of a beautiful countenance： but the man was churlish and evil in his doings； and he was of the house of Caleb。
25：4大卫在旷野听见说拿八剪羊毛，
And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep。
25：5大卫就打发十个仆人，吩咐他们说，你们上迦密去见拿八，提我的名问他安。
And David sent out ten young men； and David said unto the young men； Get you up to Carmel； and go to Nabal； and greet him in my name：
25：6要对那富户如此说，愿你平安，愿你家平安，愿你一切所有的都平安。
And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity； Peace be both to thee； and peace be to thine house； and peace be unto all that thou hast。
25：7现在我听说有人为你剪羊毛，你的牧人在迦密的时候和我们在一处，我们没有欺负他们，他们也未曾失落什么。
And now I have heard that thou hast shearers： now thy shepherds which were with us； we hurt them not； neither was there ought missing unto them； all the while they were in Carmel。
25：8可以问你的仆人，他们必告诉你。所以愿我的仆人在你眼前蒙恩，因为是在好日子来的。求你随手取点赐与仆人和你儿子大卫。
Ask thy young men； and they will shew thee。 Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes： for we e in a good day： give； I pray thee； whatsoever eth to thine hand unto thy servants； and to thy son David。
25：9大卫的仆人到了，将这话提大卫的名都告诉了拿八，就住了口。
And when David's young men came； they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David； and ceased。
25：10拿八回答大卫的仆人说，大卫是谁。耶西的儿子是谁。近来悖逆主人奔逃的仆人甚多，
And Nabal answered David's servants； and said； Who is David？ and who is the son of Jesse？ there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master。
25：11我岂可将饮食和为我剪羊毛人所宰的肉给我不知道从哪里来的人呢。
Shall I then take my bread； and my water； and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers； and give it unto men； whom I know not whence they be？
25：12大卫的仆人就转身从原路回去，照这话告诉大卫。
So David's young men turned their way； and went again； and came and told him all those sayings。
25：13大卫向跟随他的人说，你们各人都要带上刀。众人就都带上刀，大卫也带上刀。跟随大卫上去的约有四百人，留下二百人看守器具。
And David said unto his men； Gird ye on every man his sword。 And they girded on every man his sword； and David also girded on his sword： and there went up after David about four hundred men； and two hundred abode by the stuff。
25：14有拿八的一个仆人告诉拿八的妻亚比该说，大卫从旷野打发使者来问我主人的安，主人却辱骂他们。
But one of the young men told Abigail； Nabal's wife； saying； Behold； David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master； and he railed on them。
25：15但是那些人待我们甚好。我们在田野与他们来往的时候，没有受他们的欺负，也未曾失落什么。
But the men were very good unto us； and we were not hurt； neither missed we any thing； as long as we were conversant with them； when we were in the fields：
25：16我们在他们那里牧羊的时候，他们昼夜作我们的保障。
They were a wall unto us both by night and day； all the while we were with them keeping the sheep。
25：17所以你当筹划，看怎样行才好。不然，祸患定要临到我主人和他全家。他性情凶暴，无人敢与他说话。
Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do； for evil is determined against our master； and against all his household： for he is such a son of Belial； that a man cannot speak to him。
25：18亚比该急忙将二百饼，两皮袋酒，五只收拾好了的羊，五细亚烘好了的穗子，一百葡萄饼，二百无花果饼，都驮在驴上，
Then Abigail made haste； and took two hundred loaves； and two bottles of wine； and five sheep ready dressed； and five measures of parched corn； and an hundred clusters of raisins； and two hundred cakes of figs； and laid them on asses。
25：19对仆人说，你们前头走，我随着你们去。这事�
