撒上14:1 有一天，扫罗的儿子约拿单对替他拿武器的仆人说：“来！我们过到非利士人的驻军那边去吧。”但他没有告诉父亲。
撒上14:1 Now one day Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who was with him, looking after his arms, Come, let us go over to the Philistine force over there. But he said nothing to his father.
撒上14:2 那时扫罗在基比亚的边界，坐在米矶仑的石榴树下，跟随他的约有六百人。
撒上14:2 And Saul was still waiting in the farthest part of Geba, under the fruit-tree in Migron: there were about six hundred men with him;
撒上14:3 其中有亚希突的儿子亚希亚带着以弗得；亚希突是以迦博的哥哥，非尼哈的儿子，以利的孙子。以利从前在示罗作耶和华的祭司。约拿单去了，众人都不知道。
撒上14:3 And Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, brother of Ichabod, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the Lord in Shiloh, who had the ephod. And the people had no idea that Jonathan had gone.
撒上14:4 约拿单设法要经过那个隘口到非利士人的驻军那里去，隘口的两边各有一个山峰，一个名叫播薛，另一个名叫西尼。
撒上14:4 Now between the narrow roads over the mountains by which Jonathan was making his way to the Philistines' forces, there was a sharp overhanging rock on one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: one was named Bozez and the other Seneh.
撒上14:5 一个高峰向北，与密抹相对，另一个向南，与迦巴相对。
撒上14:5 The one rock went up on the north in front of Michmash and the other on the south in front of Geba.
撒上14:6 约拿单对替他拿武器的仆人说：“来！我们过到这些未受割礼的人的驻军那里去，也许耶和华会为我们动工，因为不论人多或人少，都不能妨碍耶和华施行拯救。”
撒上14:6 And Jonathan said to his young servant who had his arms, Come, let us go over to the armies of these men who have no circumcision: it may be that the Lord will give us help, for there is no limit to his power; the Lord is able to give salvation by a great army or by a small band.
撒上14:7 替他拿武器的仆人对他说：“照你的心意作吧！去吧，我必与你同心。”
撒上14:7 And his servant said to him, Do whatever is in your mind: see, I am with you in every impulse of your heart.
撒上14:8 约拿单说：“我们要过到那些人那里去，让他们看见我们。
撒上14:8 Then Jonathan said, Now we will go over to these men and let them see us.
撒上14:9 如果他们对我们这样说：‘你们站住！等我们到你们那里去。’我们就站在原地，不上他们那里去。
撒上14:9 If they say to us, Keep quiet where you are till we come to you; then we will keep our places and not go up to them.
撒上14:10 如果他们对我们这样说：‘你们上到我们这里来吧！’我们就上去，这就是我们的凭据，因为耶和华已经把他们交在我们的手里了。”
撒上14:10 But if they say, Come up to us; then we will go up, for the Lord has given them into our hands: and this will be the sign to us.
撒上14:11 他们二人就让非利士人的驻军看见。非利士人说：“看哪！有希伯来人从他们躲藏的洞里出来了。”
撒上14:11 And they let the Philistine force see the two of them: and the Philistines said, Look! the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have taken cover.
撒上14:12 驻军中有人应声对约拿单和替他拿武器的人说：“你们上我们这里来吧！我们有一件事要告诉你们。”约拿单对替他拿武器的人说：“你跟我上去，因为耶和华已经把他们交在以色列人的手里了。”
撒上14:12 And the armed men of the force gave Jonathan and his servant their answer, saying, Come up here to us, and we will let you see something. Then Jonathan said to his servant, Come up after me: for the Lord has given them up into the hands of Israel.
撒上14:13 约拿单手脚并用地爬了上去，替他拿武器的人跟着他。非利士人在约拿单面前倒下，替他拿武器的也跟在后面把他们杀死。
撒上14:13 And Jonathan went up, gripping with his hands and his feet, his servant going up after him; and the Philistines gave way before Jonathan when he made an attack on them, and his servant put them to death after him.
撒上14:14 约拿单和替他拿武器的第一次杀敌，约杀死了二十人，都是在四分之一公顷的范围内杀的。
撒上14:14 And at their first attack, Jonathan and his servant put to the sword about twenty men, all inside the space of half an acre of land.
撒上14:15 于是在营房里，在田野中和在众人中间，都有恐慌，驻军和突击队也都恐惧，地也震动，这是从 神而来的恐惧。
撒上14:15 And there was great fear in the tents and in the field and among all the men of the armed force, and the attackers were shaking with fear; even the earth was moved with a great shaking and there was a fear as from God.
撒上14:16 在便雅悯的基比亚，扫罗的瞭望兵看见非利士人的大军溃败，四处逃窜。
撒上14:16 And the watchmen of Saul, looking out from Geba in the land of Benjamin, saw all the army flowing away and running here and there.
撒上14:17 于是扫罗对跟随他的众民说：“你们数点一下，看看谁从我们这里出去了。”他们一数点，就发现约拿单和替他拿武器的不在那里。
撒上14:17 Then Saul said to the people who were with him, Let everyone be numbered and let us see who has gone from us. And when they had been numbered, it was seen that Jonathan and his servant were not there.
撒上14:18 扫罗对亚希亚说：“把 神的约柜运来！”因为那时 神的约柜在以色列人那里。
撒上14:18 And Saul said to Ahijah, Let the ephod come here. For he went before Israel with the ephod at that time.
撒上14:19 扫罗正对祭司说话的时候，非利士营中的骚乱越来越大，扫罗就对祭司说：“住手吧！”
撒上14:19 Now while Saul was talking to the priest, the noise in the tents of the Philistines became louder and louder; and Saul said to the priest, Take back your hand.
撒上14:20 扫罗和所有跟随他的人就聚集起来，到了战场，就看见非利士人用刀互相击杀，十分混乱。
撒上14:20 And Saul and all the people with him came together and went forward to the fight: and every man's sword was turned against the man at his side, and there was a very great noise.
撒上14:21 那些从前归顺非利士人的希伯来人，就是混杂在营里与非利士人一起上来的，现在也转过来，与那些跟从扫罗和约拿单的以色列人在一起。
撒上14:21 Then the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines for some time, and had gone up with them to their tents, turning round were joined to those who were with Saul and Jonathan.
撒上14:22 那些躲藏在以法莲山地的以色列众人一听见非利士人逃跑，也就在战场上紧紧追赶他们。
撒上14:22 And all the men of Israel who had taken cover in the hill-country of Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines had been put to flight, went after them, attacking them.
撒上14:23 那一天，耶和华拯救了以色列人。战争伸展到伯．亚文。
撒上14:23 So the Lord made Israel safe that day: and the fight went over to Beth-aven.
撒上14:24 那一天，以色列人处境很窘迫，因为扫罗叫众人起誓说：“不等到晚上，不等到我向敌人报了仇，就吃食物的，那人必受咒诅。”所以众民都没有尝过食物。
撒上14:24 And all the people were with Saul, about twenty thousand men, and the fight was general through all the hill-country of Ephraim; but Saul made a great error that day, by putting the people under an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed who takes food before evening comes and I have given punishment to those who are against me. So the people had not a taste of food.
撒上14:25 众人进了树林，林中地上有蜂蜜。
撒上14:25 And there was honey on the face of the field, and all the people came to the honey, the bees having gone from it;
撒上14:26 他们进了树林，看见有蜂蜜流出来，却没有人敢伸手取蜜入口，因为众人都害怕所起的誓。
撒上14:26 But not a man put his hand to his mouth for fear of the curse.
撒上14:27 约拿单没有听见他父亲叫众民所起的誓，所以伸出手中的杖，用杖头蘸在蜂房里，转手送进口里，他的眼睛就明亮了。
撒上14:27 But Jonathan, having no knowledge of the oath his father had put on the people, stretching out the rod which was in his hand, put the end of it in the honey, and put it to his mouth; then his eyes were made bright.
撒上14:28 众民中有一个人说：“你父亲曾经叫众人严严地起誓说：‘今天吃食物的，那人必受咒诅。’所以众人都疲乏了。”
撒上14:28 Then one of the people said to him, Your father put the people under an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed who takes any food this day. And the people were feeble, needing food.
撒上14:29 约拿单说：“我父亲连累了这地的人。你们看！我尝了这一点蜂蜜以后，我的眼睛就明亮了。
撒上14:29 Then Jonathan said, My father has made trouble come on the land: now see how bright my eyes have become because I have taken a little of this honey.
撒上14:30 今天众民若是随意吃了从他们的仇敌夺得的东西，不是更好吗？如今被击杀的非利士人，不是更多吗？”
撒上14:30 How much more if the people had freely taken their food from the goods of those who were fighting against them! would there not have been much greater destruction among the Philistines?
撒上14:31 那一天，他们击杀非利士人，从密抹直到亚雅仑；众人都非常疲乏了，
撒上14:31 That day they overcame the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were feeble from need of food.
撒上14:32 就急忙抢夺战利品；他们捉住了羊、牛或牛犊，就地宰杀，带着血一起吃了。
撒上14:32 And rushing at the goods taken in the fight, the people took oxen and sheep and young oxen, and put them to death there on the earth, and had a meal, taking the flesh with the blood in it.
撒上14:33 有人告诉扫罗说：“众民吃了带着血的肉，得罪耶和华了。”他说：“你们作了不忠的事了，立刻把一块大石头滚到我这里来。”
撒上14:33 Then it was said to Saul, See, the people are sinning against the Lord, taking the blood with the flesh. And he said to those who gave him the news, Now let a great stone be rolled to me here.
撒上14:34 扫罗又说：“你们分散到众人中去，对他们说：‘你们各人要把自己的牛羊带到我面前来，在这里宰了吃；不可吃带着血的肉，得罪耶和华。’”于是当天晚上，众人都各把自己的牛羊带到那里宰了。
撒上14:34 And Saul said, Go about among the people and say to them, Let every man come here to me with his ox and his sheep, and put them to death here, and take his meal: do no sin against the Lord by taking the blood with the flesh. So all the people took their oxen with them that night and put them to death there.
撒上14:35 扫罗为耶和华筑了一座祭坛，这是他初次为耶和华筑的祭坛。
撒上14:35 And Saul put up an altar to the Lord: this was the first altar which he put up to the Lord.
撒上14:36 扫罗说：“我们趁着晚上下去追赶非利士人，抢掠他们，直到天亮，不让他们留下一人。”他们说：“你看怎么好，就怎么行吧！”但祭司说：“我们先在这里亲近 神！”
撒上14:36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, attacking them till the morning, till there is not a man of them living. And they said, Do whatever seems right to you. Then the priest said, Let us come near to God.
撒上14:37 扫罗求问 神：“我可以下去追赶非利士人吗？你把他们交在以色列人的手里吗？”那天 神没有回答他。
撒上14:37 And Saul, desiring directions from God, said, Am I to go down after the Philistines? will you give them up into the hands of Israel? But he gave him no answer that day.
撒上14:38 扫罗说：“民间的众领袖啊，你们都要走近这里来；你们要查看今天我们犯了什么罪。
撒上14:38 And Saul said, Come near, all you chiefs of the people, and let us get word from God and see in whom is this sin today.
撒上14:39 我指着拯救以色列、永活的耶和华起誓，即使是我的儿子约拿单犯了罪，他也一定要死。”众人中没有一人回答他。
撒上14:39 For, by the living Lord, the saviour of Israel, even if the sinner is Jonathan, my son, death will certainly be his fate. But not a man among all the people gave him any answer.
撒上14:40 于是扫罗对以色列众人说：“你们站在这里，我和我的儿子约拿单站在那边。”众民回答扫罗：“你看怎么好，就怎么行吧！”
撒上14:40 Then he said to all Israel, You be on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do whatever seems good to you.
撒上14:41 扫罗祷告耶和华以色列的 神说：“求你指示实情！”于是抽签，抽中了约拿单和扫罗；众民都没事。
撒上14:41 Then Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel, Why have you not given me an answer today? If the sin is in me or in Jonathan my son, O Lord God of Israel, give Urim, and if it is in your people Israel, give Thummim. And by the decision of the Lord, Saul and Jonathan were marked out, and the people went free.
撒上14:42 扫罗说：“你们再抽签，看是我，或是我的儿子约拿单。”结果抽中约拿单。
撒上14:42 And Saul said, Give your decision between my son Jonathan and me. And Jonathan was taken.
撒上14:43 扫罗对约拿单说：“告诉我，你作了什么事？”约拿单告诉他：“我用我手中的杖头尝了一点蜂蜜。我在这里，我愿意死！”
撒上14:43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Give me an account of what you have done. And Jonathan gave him the story and said, Certainly I took a little honey on the end of my rod; and now death is to be my fate.
撒上14:44 扫罗说：“约拿单啊！你必定要死，否则，愿 神加倍惩罚我。”
撒上14:44 And Saul said, May God's punishment be on me if death is not your fate, Jonathan.
撒上14:45 众民对扫罗说：“约拿单在以色列人中行了这样大的拯救，难道一定要他死吗？绝对不可以！我们指着永活的耶和华起誓，连他一根头发也不可落在地上，因为他今天是与 神一同作工。”这样，众民救了约拿单，使他免了一死。
撒上14:45 And the people said to Saul, Is death to come to Jonathan, the worker of this great salvation for Israel? Let it not be so: by the living Lord, not one hair of his head is to be touched, for he has been working with God today. So the people kept Jonathan from death.
撒上14:46 扫罗上去，不再追赶非利士人；非利士人也回到自己的地方去了。
撒上14:46 Then Saul, turning back, went after the Philistines no longer: and the Philistines went back to their place.
撒上14:47 扫罗取得了以色列的王国以后，常常攻打四围的一切仇敌，就是摩押人、亚扪人、以东人、琐巴众王和非利士人，他无论往哪里去，都得到胜利。
撒上14:47 Now when Saul had taken his place as ruler of Israel, he made war on those who were against him on every side, Moab and the Ammonites and Edom and the kings of Zobah and the Philistines: and whichever way he went, he overcame them.
撒上14:48 扫罗行事勇敢，击败了亚玛力人，把以色列人从抢掠他们的人手中救了出来。
撒上14:48 And he did great things, and overcame the Amalekites, and made Israel safe from the hands of their attackers.
撒上14:49 扫罗的儿子是约拿单、亦施韦和麦基舒亚。他的两个女儿，长女名叫米拉，次女名叫米甲。
撒上14:49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan and Ishvi and Malchi-shua; and these are the names of his daughters: the older was named Merab and the younger Michal;
撒上14:50 扫罗的妻子名叫亚希暖，是亚希玛斯的女儿。扫罗军队的元帅名叫押尼珥，是尼珥的儿子，尼珥是扫罗的叔叔。
撒上14:50 The name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz; the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, brother of Saul's father.
撒上14:51 扫罗的父亲基士和押尼珥的父亲尼珥都是亚别的儿子。
撒上14:51 Kish, the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abner, were sons of Abiel.
撒上14:52 扫罗的一生常常与非利士人有猛烈的争战。每逢扫罗看见任何勇士或有能力的人，就都招募归他。
撒上14:52 All through the life of Saul there was bitter war against the Philistines; and whenever Saul saw any strong man or any good fighting man, he kept him near himself.
