    Chapter29

    1NowthePhilistineshadmusteredalltheirforcesinAphek,andtheIsraeliteswereencampedatthespringofHarodnearJezreel.

    培肋舍特人将军队全调集在阿费克,同时以色列人在依次勒耳附近的泉旁扎营。

    2AsthePhilistinelordsweremarchingtheirgroupsofahundredandathousand,DavidandhismenweremarchingintherearguardwithAchish.

    培肋舍特的酋长,有领一百人的,也有领一千人的,列阵在前,达味带领自己的人同阿基士列阵在后。

    3ThePhilistinechiefsasked,"WhatarethoseHebrewsdoinghere?"AndAchishansweredthem:"Why,thatisDavid,theofficerofSaul,kingofIsrael.Hehasbeenwithmenowforayearortwo,andIhavenofaulttofindwithhimfromthedayhecameovertomeuntilthepresent."

    培肋舍特人的将领说:"这些希伯来人作什么?"阿基士回答培肋舍特人的将领说:"他不是以色列王撒乌耳的臣仆达味吗?他已同我在一起有一二年了,从他归顺我那一天起,直到今日,在他身上从未发现什么过错"。

    4ButthePhilistinechiefswereangeredatthisandsaidtohim:"Sendthatmanback!Lethimreturntotheplaceyoupickedoutforhim.Hemustnotgodownintobattlewithus,lestduringthebattlehebecomeourenemy.Forhowelsecanhewinbackhismaster'sfavor,ifnotwiththeheadsofthesemenofours?

    培肋舍特将领向他大发愤怒说:"把这人打发回去,叫他回到你给他指定的地方去,不要让他同我们一起下去打仗,免得他在战争中作出卖我们的奸细,他不借用我们这些人的头,怎能获得他主人的欢心?

    5IsthisnottheDavidofwhomtheysingduringtheirdances,‘Saulhasslainhisthousands,butDavidhistenthousands'?"

    人在舞蹈时歌咏说:"‘撒乌耳杀了一千,达味杀了一万’,不就是这达味吗?"

    6SoAchishsummonedDavidandsaidtohim:"AstheLORDlives,youarehonest,andIshouldbepleasedtohaveyouactivewithmeinthecamp,forIhavefoundnothingwrongwithyoufromthedayofyourarrivaltothisday.Butyouarenotwelcometothelords.

    阿基士就将达味召来,向他说:"愿永生的上主作证:你是可靠的人,你同我在军中出入,我很满意,因为自你投奔我那一天起,直到今日我在你身上并没有发现什么可指摘之事;但是酋长们不喜欢你。

    7Withdrawpeaceably,now,anddonothingthatmightdispleasethePhilistinelords."

    现今你回去,平安去罢!免得培肋舍特人的酋长们厌恶"。

    8ButDavidsaidtoAchish:"WhathaveIdone?OrwhathaveyouagainstyourservantfromthefirstdayIhavebeenwithyoutothisday,thatIcannotgotofightagainsttheenemiesofmylordtheking?"

    达味回答阿基士说:"我作了什么不对?或者自从我来服事你那天起,直到今日,你在你仆人身上发现了什么不对,竟不肯让我同我大王的敌人交战?"

    9"Youknow,"AchishansweredDavid,"thatyouareacceptabletome.ButthePhilistinechiefshavedeterminedyouarenottogoupwithustobattle.

    阿基士回答达味说:"我知道你在我眼中,好象一位天主的使者,但培肋舍特的将领说:不许他同我们一起作战!

    10Sothefirstthingtomorrow,youandyourlord'sservantswhocamewithyou,gototheplaceIpickedoutforyou.Donotdecidetotakeumbrageatthis;youareasacceptabletomeasanangelofGod.Butmakeanearlymorningstart,assoonasitgrowslight,andbeonyourway."

    明早起来,你同你一起来的你主人的仆人,都往我给你指定的地方去,心中不要抱怨,我是喜欢你的,所以明天,天一亮,你们就动身回去吧!"

    11SoDavidandhismenleftearlyinthemorningtoreturntothelandofthePhilistines.ThePhilistines,however,wentonuptoJezreel.

    于是达味和他的人清早就起身,回培肋舍特地方去了。培肋舍特人上了依次勒耳。
