David and Jonathan’s Covenant
1Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and he came and said to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my guilt? And what is my sin before your father, that he is seeking my life?” 2He said to him, “Far from it, you shall not die! Behold, my father does nothing either great or small without informing me. So why would my father hide this thing from me? It is not so!” 3Yet David vowed again, saying, “Your father is well aware that I have found favor in your sight, and he has said, ‘Jonathan is not to know this, otherwise he will be worried.’ But indeed as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is just a step between me and death.” 4Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you say, I will do for you.” 5So David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I am obligated to sit down to eat with the king. But let me go so that I may hide myself in the field until the third evening. 6“If your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly requested leave of me to run to Bethlehem, his city, because it is the yearly sacrifice there for the whole family.’ 7“If he says, ‘That is good,’ your servant will be safe; but if he is very angry, be aware that he has decided on evil. 8“So deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you. But if I am guilty of wrongdoing, kill me yourself; for why then should you bring me to your father?” 9Jonathan said, “Far be it from you! For if I in fact learn that my father has decided to inflict harm on you, would I not inform you?” 10Then David said to Jonathan, “Who will inform me if your father answers you harshly?” 11Jonathan said to David, “Come, and let’s go out to the field.” So both of them went out to the field.
1大衛從拉瑪的拿約逃跑，來到約拿單那裏，對他說：「我做了甚麼？有甚麼罪孽呢？在你父親面前犯了甚麼罪，他竟尋索我的性命呢？」2約拿單回答說：「斷然不是！你必不致死。我父做事，無論大小，沒有不叫我知道的。怎麼獨有這事隱瞞我呢？決不如此。」3大衛又起誓說：「你父親準知我在你眼前蒙恩。他心裏說，不如不叫約拿單知道，恐怕他愁煩。我指著永生的耶和華，又敢在你面前起誓，我離死不過一步。」4約拿單對大衛說：「你心裏所求的，我必為你成就。」5大衛對約拿單說：「明日是初一，我當與王同席，求你容我去藏在田野，直到第三日晚上。6你父親若見我不在席上，你就說：『大衛切求我許他回本城伯利恆去，因為他全家在那裏獻年祭。』7你父親若說好，僕人就平安了；他若發怒，你就知道他決意要害我。8求你施恩與僕人，因你在耶和華面前曾與僕人結盟。我若有罪，不如你自己殺我，何必將我交給你父親呢？」9約拿單說：「斷無此事！我若知道我父親決意害你，我豈不告訴你呢？」10大衛對約拿單說：「你父親若用厲言回答你，誰來告訴我呢？」11約拿單對大衛說：「你我且往田野去。」二人就往田野去了。
12Then Jonathan said to David, “The LORD, the God of Israel, is my witness! When I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow or the third day, behold, if he has a good feeling toward you, shall I not then send word to you and inform you? 13“If it pleases my father to do you harm, may the LORD do so to me and more so, if I fail to inform you and send you away, so that you may go in safety. And may the LORD be with you as He has been with my father. 14“And if I am still alive, will you not show me the faithfulness of the LORD, so that I do not die? 15“And you shall never cut off your loyalty to my house, not even when the LORD cuts off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.” 16So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “May the LORD demand it from the hands of David’s enemies.” 17And Jonathan made David vow again because of his love for him, because he loved him as he loved his own life.
12約拿單對大衛說：「願耶和華─以色列的神為證。明日約在這時候，或第三日，我探我父親的意思，若向你有好意，我豈不打發人告訴你嗎？13我父親若有意害你，我不告訴你使你平平安安地走，願耶和華重重地降罰與我。願耶和華與你同在，如同從前與我父親同在一樣。14你要照耶和華的慈愛恩待我，不但我活著的時候免我死亡，15就是我死後，耶和華從地上剪除你仇敵的時候，你也永不可向我家絕了恩惠。」16於是約拿單與大衛家結盟，說：「願耶和華藉大衛的仇敵追討背約的罪。」17約拿單因愛大衛如同愛自己的性命，就使他再起誓。
18Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed since your seat will be empty. 19“When you have stayed for three days, you shall go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself on that eventful day, and you shall remain beside the stone Ezel. 20“And I will shoot three arrows to the side, as though I shot at a target. 21“Then behold, I will send the boy, telling him, ‘Go, find the arrows.’ If I specifically say to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, get them,’ then come, because it is safe for you and there is nothing to harm you, as the LORD lives. 22“But if I say to the youth, ‘Behold, the arrows are beyond you,’ go, because the LORD has sent you away. 23“As for the agreement of which you and I have spoken, behold, the LORD is between you and me forever.”
18約拿單對他說：「明日是初一，你的座位空設，人必理會你不在那裏。19你等三日，就要速速下去，到你從前遇事所藏的地方，在以色磐石那裏等候。20我要向磐石旁邊射三箭，如同射箭靶一樣。21我要打發童子，說：『去把箭找來。』我若對童子說：『箭在後頭，把箭拿來』，你就可以回來；我指著永生的耶和華起誓，你必平安無事。22我若對童子說：『箭在前頭』，你就要去，因為是耶和華打發你去的。23至於你我今日所說的話，有耶和華在你我中間為證，直到永遠。」
24So David hid himself in the field; and when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food. 25Now the king sat on his seat as usual, the seat by the wall; then Jonathan stood up and Abner sat down by Saul’s side; but David’s place was empty. 26Nevertheless Saul did not say anything that day, because he thought, “It must have been an accident; he is not clean, undoubtedly he is not clean.” 27But it came about the next day, the second day of the new moon, that David’s place was empty again; so Saul said to his son Jonathan, “Why has the son of Jesse not come to the meal, either yesterday or today?” 28And Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly requested leave of me to go to Bethlehem. 29“He said, ‘Please let me go, because our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has ordered me to attend. So now, if I have found favor in your sight, please let me slip away so that I may see my brothers.’ For this reason he has not come to the king’s table.”
24大衛就去藏在田野。到了初一日，王坐席要吃飯。25王照常坐在靠牆的位上，約拿單侍立，押尼珥坐在掃羅旁邊，大衛的座位空設。26然而這日掃羅沒有說甚麼，他想大衛遇事，偶染不潔，他必定是不潔。27初二日大衛的座位還空設。掃羅問他兒子約拿單說：「耶西的兒子為何昨日、今日沒有來吃飯呢？」28約拿單回答掃羅說：「大衛切求我容他往伯利恆去。29他說：『求你容我去，因為我家在城裏有獻祭的事；我長兄吩咐我去。如今我若在你眼前蒙恩，求你容我去見我的弟兄』；所以大衛沒有赴王的席。」
Saul Is Angry with Jonathan
30Then Saul’s anger burned against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you are choosing the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness? 31“For, as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Now then, send men and bring him to me, for he is doomed to die!” 32But Jonathan replied to his father Saul and said to him, “Why must he be put to death? What has he done?” 33Then Saul hurled his spear at him to strike and kill him; so Jonathan knew that his father had decided to put David to death. 34Then Jonathan got up from the table in the heat of anger, and did not eat food on the second day of the new moon, because he was worried about David since his father had insulted him.
30掃羅向約拿單發怒，對他說：「你這頑梗背逆之婦人所生的，我豈不知道你喜悅耶西的兒子，自取羞辱，以致你母親露體蒙羞嗎？31耶西的兒子若在世間活著，你和你的國位必站立不住。現在你要打發人去，將他捉拿交給我；他是該死的。」32約拿單對父親掃羅說：「他為甚麼該死呢？他做了甚麼呢？」33掃羅向約拿單掄槍要刺他，約拿單就知道他父親決意要殺大衛。34於是約拿單氣忿忿地從席上起來，在這初二日沒有吃飯。他因見父親羞辱大衛，就為大衛愁煩。
35Now it came about in the morning that Jonathan went out to the field at the time agreed upon with David, and a little boy was with him. 36He said to his boy, “Run, find now the arrows which I am about to shoot.” The boy ran, and he shot an arrow past him. 37When the boy reached the location of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the boy and said, “Is the arrow not beyond you?” 38Then Jonathan called after the boy, “Hurry, be quick, do not stay!” And Jonathan’s boy picked up the arrow and came to his master. 39But the boy was not aware of anything; only Jonathan and David knew about the matter. 40Then Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy and said to him, “Go, bring them to the city.” 41When the boy was gone, David got up from the south side, then he fell on his face to the ground and bowed three times. And they kissed each other and wept together, until David wept immeasurably. 42Then Jonathan said to David, “Go in safety, since we have sworn to each other in the name of the LORD, saying, ‘The LORD will be between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants forever.’” So David set out and went on his way, while Jonathan went into the city.
35次日早晨，約拿單按著與大衛約會的時候出到田野，有一個童子跟隨。36約拿單對童子說：「你跑去，把我所射的箭找來。」童子跑去，約拿單就把箭射在童子前頭。37童子到了約拿單落箭之地，約拿單呼叫童子說：「箭不是在你前頭嗎？」38約拿單又呼叫童子說：「速速地去，不要遲延！」童子就拾起箭來，回到主人那裏。39童子卻不知道這是甚麼意思，只有約拿單和大衛知道。40約拿單將弓箭交給童子，吩咐說：「你拿到城裏去。」41童子一去，大衛就從磐石的南邊出來，俯伏在地，拜了三拜；二人親嘴，彼此哭泣，大衛哭得更慟。42約拿單對大衛說：「我們二人曾指著耶和華的名起誓說：『願耶和華在你我中間，並你我後裔中間為證，直到永遠。』如今你平平安安地去吧！」大衛就起身走了；約拿單也回城裏去了。
