撒母耳記上 1 Samuel

11:1	[hb5]	亞捫人的王拿轄上來、對著基列雅比安營．雅比眾人對拿轄說、你與我們立約、我們就服事你。
	[kjv]	Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
	[bbe]	Then about a month after this, Nahash the Ammonite came up and put his forces in position for attacking Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make an agreement with us and we will be your servants.
11:2	[hb5]	亞捫人拿轄說、你們若由我剜出你們各人的右眼、以此凌辱以色列眾人、我就與你們立約。
	[kjv]	And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.
	[bbe]	And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, I will make an agreement with you on this condition, that all your right eyes are put out; so that I may make it a cause of shame to all Israel.
11:3	[hb5]	雅比的長老對他說、求你寬容我們七日、等我們打發人往以色列的全境去、若沒有人救我們、我們就出來歸順你。
	[kjv]	And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee.
	[bbe]	Then the responsible men of Jabesh said to him, Give us seven days, so that we may send men to every part of Israel: and then, if no one comes to our help, we will come out to you.
11:4	[hb5]	使者到了掃羅住的基比亞、將這話說給百姓聽、百姓就都放聲而哭。
	[kjv]	Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
	[bbe]	So they sent representatives to Saul's town Gibeah, and these gave the news to the people: and all the people gave themselves to weeping.
11:5	[hb5]	掃羅正從田間趕牛回來、問說、百姓為甚麼哭呢。眾人將雅比人的話告訴他。
	[kjv]	And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
	[bbe]	Now Saul came from the field, driving the oxen before him; and he said, Why are the people weeping? And they gave him word of what the men of Jabesh had said.
11:6	[hb5]	掃羅聽見這話、就被　神的靈大大感動、甚是發怒。
	[kjv]	And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.
	[bbe]	And at their words, the spirit of God came on Saul with power, and he became very angry.
11:7	[hb5]	他將一對牛切成塊子、託付使者傳送以色列的全境、說、凡不出來跟隨掃羅和撒母耳的、也必這樣切開他的牛．於是耶和華使百姓懼怕、他們就都出來如同一人。
	[kjv]	And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
	[bbe]	And he took two oxen and, cutting them up, sent them through all the land of Israel by the hand of runners, saying, If any man does not come out after Saul and Samuel, this will be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord came on the people and they came out like one man.
11:8	[hb5]	掃羅在比色數點他們．以色列人有三十萬、猶大人有三萬。
	[kjv]	And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
	[bbe]	And he had them numbered in Bezek: the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
11:9	[hb5]	眾人對那使者說、你們要回覆基列雅比人說、明日太陽近午的時候、你們必得解救。使者回去告訴雅比人、他們就歡喜了。
	[kjv]	And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
	[bbe]	Then he said to the representatives who had come, Say to the men of Jabesh-gilead, Tomorrow, by the time the sun is high, you will be made safe. And the representatives came and gave the news to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
11:10	[hb5]	於是雅比人對亞捫人說、明日我們出來歸順你們、你們可以隨意待我們。
	[kjv]	Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you.
	[bbe]	So the men of Jabesh said, Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you.
11:11	[hb5]	第二日、掃羅將百姓分為三隊、在晨更的時候入了亞捫人的營、擊殺他們直到太陽近午、剩下的人都逃散、沒有二人同在一處的。
	[kjv]	And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
	[bbe]	Now on the day after, Saul put the people into three bands, and in the morning watch they came to the tents of the Ammonites, and they went on attacking them till the heat of the day: and those who were not put to death were put to flight in every direction, so that no two of them were together.
11:12	[hb5]	百姓對撒母耳說、那說掃羅豈能管理我們的、是誰呢．可以將他交出來、我們好殺死他。
	[kjv]	And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.
	[bbe]	And the people said to Samuel, Who was it who said, Is Saul to be our king? give the men up, so that we may put them to death.
11:13	[hb5]	掃羅說、今日耶和華在以色列中施行拯救、所以不可殺人。
	[kjv]	And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.
	[bbe]	And Saul said, Not a man is to be put to death today: for today the Lord has made Israel safe.
11:14	[hb5]	撒母耳對百姓說、我們要往吉甲去、在那裡立國。
	[kjv]	Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
	[bbe]	Then Samuel said to the people, Come, let us go to Gilgal and there make the kingdom strong in the hands of Saul.
11:15	[hb5]	眾百姓就到了吉甲那裡、在耶和華面前立掃羅為王、又在耶和華面前獻平安祭．掃羅和以色列眾人大大歡喜。
	[kjv]	And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
	[bbe]	So all the people went to Gilgal; and there in Gilgal they made Saul king before the Lord; and peace-offerings were offered before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel were glad with great joy.
