1 Samuel 17
1 And the Philistines gathered together their hosts, unto battle, and they were gathered together unto Socoh, which belongeth unto Judah, —and they encamped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim;
非利士人招聚他们的军旅，要来争战；聚集在属犹大的梭哥，安营在梭哥和亚西加中间的以弗·大悯。
2 and, Saul and the men of Israel, gathered themselves together, and encamped in the vale of Elah, and set the army in array against the Philistines.
扫罗和以色列人也聚集，在以拉谷安营，摆列队伍，要与非利士人打仗。
3 And, the Philistines, were standing near the hill on one side, and, the Israelites, were standing near the hill on the other side, —while, the valley, was between them.
非利士人站在这边山上，以色列人站在那边山上，当中有谷。
4 And there came forth a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, Goliath, his name, from Gath, —his height, six cubits and a span;
从非利士营中出来一个讨战的人，名叫歌利亚，是迦特人，身高六肘零一虎口；
5 with a helmet of bronze on his head, and, with a scaly coat of mail, was he clad, —the weight of the coat, being five thousand shekels of bronze;
头戴铜盔，身穿铠甲，甲重五千舍客勒；
6 and, greaves of bronze, on his feet, —and, a javelin of bronze, between his shoulders;
腿上有铜护膝，两肩之中背负铜戟；
7 and, the shaft of his spear, was like a weaver’s beam, and, the flashing head of his spear, was six hundred shekels of iron, —and, his shield-bearer, was coming on before him.
枪杆粗如织布的机轴，铁枪头重六百舍客勒。有一个拿盾牌的人在他前面走。
8 And he took his stand, and cried unto the ranks of Israel, and said unto them, Wherefore should ye come out, to set in array for battle? Am not, I, a Philistine, while, ye, are servants unto Saul? Choose you a man, and let him come down unto me:
歌利亚对着以色列的军队站立，呼叫说：“你们出来摆列队伍做什么呢？我不是非利士人吗？你们不是扫罗的仆人吗？可以从你们中间拣选一人，使他下到我这里来。
9 If he prevail in fighting with me, and smite me, then will we become your servants, —but, if, I, prevail over him, and smite him, then shall ye become our servants, and serve, us.
他若能与我战斗，将我杀死，我们就作你们的仆人；我若胜了他，将他杀死，你们就作我们的仆人，服事我们。”
10 And the Philistine said—I, reproach the ranks of Israel, this day, —give me a man, that we may fight together.
那非利士人又说：“我今日向以色列人的军队骂阵。你们叫一个人出来，与我战斗。”
11 When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and feared exceedingly.
扫罗和以色列众人听见非利士人的这些话，就惊惶，极其害怕。
12 Now, David, was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem-judah, whose, name, was Jesse, and, who, had eight sons, —and, the man, in the days of Saul was old, advanced in years.
大卫是犹大伯利恒的以法他人耶西的儿子。耶西有八个儿子。当扫罗的时候，耶西已经老迈。
13 And the three eldest sons of Jesse had followed Saul to the battle, —and, the names of his three sons who went into the battle, were Eliab the firstborn, and, the next to him, Abinadab, and, the third, Shammah.
耶西的三个大儿子跟随扫罗出征。这出征的三个儿子：长子名叫以利押，次子名叫亚比拿达，三子名叫沙玛。
14 But, as for David, he, was the youngest, —and, the three eldest, followed Saul;
大卫是最小的；那三个大儿子跟随扫罗。
15 whereas, David, kept going and returning from Saul, —to tend his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.
大卫有时离开扫罗，回伯利恒放他父亲的羊。
16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, —and presented himself forty days.
那非利士人早晚都出来站着，如此四十日。
17 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take, I pray thee, unto thy brethren—this ephah of parched corn, and these ten loaves, —and run to the camp unto thy brethren;
一日，耶西对他儿子大卫说：“你拿一伊法烘了的穗子和十个饼，速速地送到营里去，交给你哥哥们；
18 also these ten slices of soft cheese, shalt thou take to the captain of their thousand, —and, as for thy brethren, give good heed to their welfare, their pledge, also shalt thou receive.
再拿这十块奶饼，送给他们的千夫长，且问你哥哥们好，向他们要一封信来。”
19 Now, Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the vale of Elah, ready to fight with the Philistines.
扫罗与大卫的三个哥哥和以色列众人，在以拉谷与非利士人打仗。
20 So then David rose up early in the morning, and entrusted the sheep to a keeper, and took up [the provisions] and went his way, as Jesse had commanded him, —and came into the circular rampart, as, the force, was going forth into the ranks, and shouted for the fight.
大卫早晨起来，将羊交托一个看守的人，照着他父亲所吩咐的话，带着食物去了。到了辎重营，军兵刚出到战场，呐喊要战。
21 So Israel and the Philistines set in array for battle, army against army.
以色列人和非利士人都摆列队伍，彼此相对。
22 Then David entrusted the provisions that were upon him to the care of the keeper of the stores, and ran unto the ranks, —and came and asked for the welfare of his brethren.
大卫把他带来的食物留在看守物件人的手下，跑到战场，问他哥哥们安。
23 Now, as he was speaking with them, lo! the champion coming up, Goliath the Philistine, by name, of Gath, [coming up] out of the ranks of the Philistines, and he spake according to these words, —and David heard [them].
与他们说话的时候，那讨战的，就是属迦特的非利士人歌利亚，从非利士队中出来，说从前所说的话；大卫都听见了。
24 Now, all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from before him, and feared exceedingly.
以色列众人看见那人，就逃跑，极其害怕。
25 And the men of Israel said—Have ye seen this man that is coming up? For, to reproach Israel, is he coming. So then it shall be, that, the man that shall smite him, the same, will the king enrich with great riches, and, his own daughter, will give him, and, his father’s house, will he make free in Israel.
以色列人彼此说：“这上来的人你看见了吗？他上来是要向以色列人骂阵。若有能杀他的，王必赏赐他大财，将自己的女儿给他为妻，并在以色列人中免他父家纳粮当差。”
26 Then spake David unto the men that were standing by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that shall smite yonder Philistine, and so shall take away reproach from off Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he hath reproached the ranks of a Living God?
大卫问站在旁边的人说：“有人杀这非利士人，除掉以色列人的耻辱，怎样待他呢？这未受割礼的非利士人是谁呢？竟敢向永生 神的军队骂阵吗？”
27 And the people answered him, according to this word saying, —So, shall it be done to the man that shall smite him.
百姓照先前的话回答他说：“有人能杀这非利士人，必如此如此待他。”
28 Now Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men, —then was kindled the anger of Eliab against David, and he said—Wherefore is it that thou hast come down? and to whom hast thou entrusted those few sheep in the wilderness? I, know thy pride, and the foolishness of thy heart, for, to see the battle, hast thou come down.
大卫的长兄以利押听见大卫与他们所说的话，就向他发怒，说：“你下来做什么呢？在旷野的那几只羊，你交托了谁呢？我知道你的骄傲和你心里的恶意，你下来特为要看争战！”
29 And David said, What have I done, now? Was there not, a cause?
大卫说：“我做了什么呢？我来岂没有缘故吗？”
30 Then turned he from him unto another, and said—according to this word, —and the people returned him an answer, like the first.
大卫就离开他转向别人，照先前的话而问；百姓仍照先前的话回答他。
31 And the words which David spake were overheard, —and, when they told them before Saul, he summoned him.
有人听见大卫所说的话，就告诉了扫罗；扫罗便打发人叫他来。
32 And David said unto Saul, Let not the heart of my lord fail, because of him, —thy servant, will go, and fight with this Philistine.
大卫对扫罗说：“人都不必因那非利士人胆怯。你的仆人要去与那非利士人战斗。”
33 And Saul said unto David—Thou art not able to go against this Philistine, to fight with him, —for, a youth, art, thou, but, he, a man of war, from his youth.
扫罗对大卫说：“你不能去与那非利士人战斗；因为你年纪太轻，他自幼就作战士。”
34 Then said David unto Saul, Thy servant used to tend his father’s sheep, —and there would come a lion, or a bear, and carry off a lamb out of the flock;
大卫对扫罗说：“你仆人为父亲放羊，有时来了狮子，有时来了熊，从群中衔一只羊羔去。
35 and I would go out after him, and smite him, and rescue it out of his mouth, —and, if he rose against me, I would catch him by his beard, and smite him, and slay him.
我就追赶它，击打它，将羊羔从它口中救出来。它起来要害我，我就揪着它的胡子，将它打死。
36 Thy servant could slay, either a lion or a bear, —and, this uncircumcised Philistine, shall become, as one of them, for he hath reproached the ranks of a Living God.
你仆人曾打死狮子和熊，这未受割礼的非利士人向永生 神的军队骂阵，也必像狮子和熊一般。”
37 And David said, Yahweh, who hath rescued me out of the power of the lion, and out of the power of the bear, he, will rescue us out of the hand of this Philistine. Then said Saul unto David—Go! and, Yahweh, will be with thee.
大卫又说：“耶和华救我脱离狮子和熊的爪，也必救我脱离这非利士人的手。”扫罗对大卫说：“你可以去吧！耶和华必与你同在。”
38 And Saul clad David with his own military coat, and set a helmet of bronze upon his head, —and clad him with a coat of mail.
扫罗就把自己的战衣给大卫穿上，将铜盔给他戴上，又给他穿上铠甲。
39 And David girded his sword above his military coat, but was reluctant to go, for he had not proved them, —so David said unto Saul—I cannot go in these, for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
大卫把刀跨在战衣外，试试能走不能走；因为素来没有穿惯，就对扫罗说：“我穿戴这些不能走，因为素来没有穿惯。”于是摘脱了。
40 Then took he his stick in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the torrent-bed, and put them in the shepherd’s-pouch which he had—even in the wallet, and had his sling in his hand, —and so drew near unto the Philistine.
他手中拿杖，又在溪中挑选了五块光滑石子，放在袋里，就是牧人带的囊里；手中拿着甩石的机弦，就去迎那非利士人。
41 And the Philistine came on and on, and drew near unto David, —and the man carrying the shield was before him.
非利士人也渐渐地迎着大卫来，拿盾牌的走在前头。
42 And, when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him, —for he was a youth, and ruddy, a stripling of fair countenance.
非利士人观看，见了大卫，就藐视他；因为他年轻，面色光红，容貌俊美。
43 Then said the Philistine unto David, A dog, am, I, that thou art coming unto me, with sticks? And the Philistine cursed David, by his god.
非利士人对大卫说：“你拿杖到我这里来，我岂是狗呢？”非利士人就指着自己的神咒诅大卫。
44 And the Philistine said unto David, —Come, unto me, that I may give thy flesh to the birds of heaven, and to the beasts of the field.
非利士人又对大卫说：“来吧！我将你的肉给空中的飞鸟、田野的走兽吃。”
45 Then said David unto the Philistine—Thou, art coming unto me with sword, and with spear, and with javelin, —but, I, am coming unto thee in the name of Yahweh of hosts, God of the ranks of Israel which thou hast reproached.
大卫对非利士人说：“你来攻击我，是靠着刀枪和铜戟；我来攻击你，是靠着万军之耶和华的名，就是你所怒骂带领以色列军队的 神。
46 This day, will Yahweh deliver thee into my hand, and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee, and will give thy dead body and the dead bodies of the host of Philistines, this day, unto the birds of heaven, and unto the wild beasts of the earth, —that all the earth may know that Israel hath a God;
今日耶和华必将你交在我手里。我必杀你，斩你的头，又将非利士军兵的尸首给空中的飞鸟、地上的野兽吃，使普天下的人都知道以色列中有 神；
47 and that all this gathered host may know that, not with sword and with spear, doth Yahweh save, —for, unto Yahweh, belongeth the battle, and he will deliver you into our hand.
又使这众人知道耶和华使人得胜，不是用刀用枪，因为争战的胜败全在乎耶和华。他必将你们交在我们手里。”
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the ranks to meet the Philistine.
非利士人起身，迎着大卫前来。大卫急忙迎着非利士人，往战场跑去。
49 And David thrust his hand into his pouch, and took from thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine, in his forehead, —that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face, to the earth.
大卫用手从囊中掏出一块石子来，用机弦甩去，打中非利士人的额，石子进入额内，他就仆倒，面伏于地。
50 Thus David prevailed over the Philistine, with the sling and with the stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him, —but, sword, was there none in the hand of David.
这样，大卫用机弦甩石，胜了那非利士人，打死他；大卫手中却没有刀。
51 So David ran, and stood by the Philistine, and took his sword and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off, therewith, his head, —and, when the Philistines saw that their hero was slain, they fled.
大卫跑去，站在非利士人身旁，将他的刀从鞘中拔出来，杀死他，割了他的头。非利士众人看见他们讨战的勇士死了，就都逃跑。
52 Then arose the men of Israel and Judah, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, as far as the entrance into Gath, and as far as the gates of Ekron, —and the slain of the Philistines fell in the way to the two gates, even as far as Gath and as far as Ekron.
以色列人和犹大人便起身呐喊，追赶非利士人，直到迦特和以革伦的城门。被杀的非利士人倒在沙拉音的路上，直到迦特和以革伦。
53 And the sons of Israel returned from hotly pursuing the Philistines, —and plundered their camps.
以色列人追赶非利士人回来，就夺了他们的营盘。
54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it into Jerusalem, —but, his armour, put he into his tent.
大卫将那非利士人的头拿到耶路撒冷，却将他军装放在自己的帐棚里。
55 And, when Saul saw David going forth to meet the Philistine, he said unto Abner, prince of the host, Whose son is the young man, Abner? And Abner said, By the life of thy soul, O king! I know not.
扫罗看见大卫去攻击非利士人，就问元帅押尼珥说：“押尼珥啊，那少年人是谁的儿子？”押尼珥说：“我敢在王面前起誓，我不知道。”
56 Then said the king, —Ask, thou, whose son the stripling is?
王说：“你可以问问那幼年人是谁的儿子。”
57 And, when David returned from smiting the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul, —with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
大卫打死非利士人回来，押尼珥领他到扫罗面前，他手中拿着非利士人的头。
58 And Saul said unto him, Whose son art, thou, O young man? And David said, Son of thy servant Jesse, the Bethlehemite.
扫罗问他说：“少年人哪，你是谁的儿子？”大卫说：“我是你仆人伯利恒人耶西的儿子。”
