Absalom’s Conspiracy
1Now it came about after this that Absalom provided for himself a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run ahead of him. 2And Absalom used to rise early and stand beside the road to the gate; and when any man who had a lawsuit was to come before the king for judgment, Absalom would call out to him and say, “From what city are you?” And he would say, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.” 3Then Absalom would say to him, “See, your claims are good and right, but you have no one to listen to you on the part of the king.” 4Moreover, Absalom would say, “Oh that someone would appoint me judge in the land, then every man who has a lawsuit or claim could come to me, and I would give him justice!” 5And whenever a man approached to prostrate himself before him, he would put out his hand and take hold of him and kiss him. 6Absalom dealt this way with all Israel who came to the king for judgment; so Absalom stole the hearts of the people of Israel.
1此後,押沙龍為自己預備車馬,又派五十人在他前頭奔走。2押沙龍常常早晨起來,站在城門的道旁,凡有爭訟要去求王判斷的,押沙龍就叫他過來,問他說:「你是哪一城的人?」回答說:「僕人是以色列某支派的人。」3押沙龍對他說:「你的事有情有理,無奈王沒有委人聽你伸訴。」4押沙龍又說:「恨不得我作國中的士師!凡有爭訟求審判的到我這裏來,我必秉公判斷。」5若有人近前來要拜押沙龍,押沙龍就伸手拉住他,與他親嘴。6以色列人中,凡去見王求判斷的,押沙龍都是如此待他們。這樣,押沙龍暗中得了以色列人的心。
7Now it came about at the end of four years that Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow which I have made to the LORD, in Hebron. 8“For your servant made a vow while I was living in Geshur in Aram, saying, ‘If the LORD will indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.’” 9The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he got up and went to Hebron. 10But Absalom sent spies throughout the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’” 11Then two hundred men went with Absalom from Jerusalem, who were invited and went innocently, for they did not know anything. 12And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong, for the people continually increased with Absalom.
7滿了四十年(有作四年的),押沙龍對王說:「求你准我往希伯崙去,還我向耶和華所許的願。8因為僕人住在亞蘭的基述,曾許願說:『耶和華若使我再回耶路撒冷,我必事奉他。』」9王說:「你平平安安地去吧!」押沙龍就起身,往希伯崙去了。10押沙龍打發探子走遍以色列各支派,說:「你們一聽見角聲就說:『押沙龍在希伯崙作王了!』」11押沙龍在耶路撒冷請了二百人與他同去,都是誠誠實實去的,並不知道其中的真情。12押沙龍獻祭的時候,打發人去將大衛的謀士、基羅人亞希多弗從他本城請了來。於是叛逆的勢派甚大;因為隨從押沙龍的人民,日漸增多。
David Flees Jerusalem
13Then a messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the people of Israel are with Absalom.” 14So David said to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem, “Arise and let’s flee, for otherwise none of us will escape from Absalom. Go quickly, or he will hurry and overtake us, and bring disaster on us and strike the city with the edge of the sword.” 15Then the king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants will do whatever my lord the king chooses.” 16So the king left, and all his household with him; but the king left ten concubines behind to take care of the house. 17The king left, and all the people with him, and they stopped at the last house. 18Now all of his servants passed by beside him, and all the Cherethites, all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who had come with him from Gath, passed by before the king.
13有人報告大衛說:「以色列人的心都歸向押沙龍了!」14大衛就對耶路撒冷跟隨他的臣僕說:「我們要起來逃走,不然都不能躲避押沙龍了;要速速地去,恐怕他忽然來到,加害於我們,用刀殺盡合城的人。」15王的臣僕對王說:「我主我王所定的,僕人都願遵行。」16於是王帶著全家的人出去了,但留下十個妃嬪看守宮殿。17王出去,眾民都跟隨他,到伯墨哈,就住下了。18王的臣僕都在他面前過去。基利提人、比利提人,就是從迦特跟隨王來的六百人,也都在他面前過去。
19Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why should you go with us too? Return and stay with your king, since you are a foreigner and an exile as well; return to your own place. 20“You came only yesterday, so should I make you wander with us today, while I go wherever I go? Return and take your brothers back; mercy and truth be with you.” 21But Ittai answered the king and said, “As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king may be, whether for death or for life, there assuredly shall your servant be!” 22Then David said to Ittai, “Go and cross over the brook Kidron.” So Ittai the Gittite crossed over with all his men and all the little ones who were with him. 23While all the country was weeping with a loud voice, all the people were crossing over. The king was also crossing over the brook Kidron, and all the people were crossing over toward the way of the wilderness.
19王對迦特人以太說:「你是外邦逃來的人,為甚麼與我們同去呢?你可以回去與新王同住,或者回你本地去吧!20你來的日子不多,我今日怎好叫你與我們一同飄流、沒有一定的住處呢?你不如帶你的弟兄回去吧!願耶和華用慈愛誠實待你。」21以太對王說:「我指著永生的耶和華起誓,又敢在王面前起誓:無論生死,王在哪裏,僕人也必在那裏。」22大衛對以太說:「你前去過河吧!」於是迦特人以太帶著跟隨他的人和所有的婦人孩子,就都過去了。23本地的人都放聲大哭。眾民盡都過去,王也過了汲淪溪;眾民往曠野去了。
24Now behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar came up until all the people had finished crossing over from the city. 25And the king said to Zadok, “Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the sight of the LORD, then He will bring me back and show me both it and His habitation. 26“But if He says this: ‘I have no delight in you,’ then here I am, let Him do to me as seems good to Him.” 27The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace, and your two sons with you, your son Ahimaaz and Jonathan the son of Abiathar. 28“See, I am going to wait at the river crossing places of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.” 29So Zadok and Abiathar returned the ark of God to Jerusalem and remained there.
24撒督和抬神約櫃的利未人也一同來了,將神的約櫃放下。亞比亞他上來,等著眾民從城裏出來過去。25王對撒督說:「你將神的約櫃抬回城去。我若在耶和華眼前蒙恩,他必使我回來,再見約櫃和他的居所。26倘若他說:『我不喜悅你』,看哪,我在這裏,願他憑自己的意旨待我!」27王又對祭司撒督說:「你不是先見嗎?你可以安然回城;你兒子亞希瑪斯和亞比亞他的兒子約拿單都可以與你同去。28我在曠野的渡口那裏等你們報信給我。」29於是撒督和亞比亞他將神的約櫃抬回耶路撒冷,他們就住在那裏。
30And David was going up the ascent of the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went, and his head was covered, and he was walking barefoot. Then all the people who were with him each covered his own head, and they were going up, weeping as they went. 31Now someone informed David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “LORD, please make the advice of Ahithophel foolish.”
30大衛蒙頭赤腳上橄欖山,一面上一面哭。跟隨他的人也都蒙頭哭著上去;31有人告訴大衛說:「亞希多弗也在叛黨之中,隨從押沙龍。」大衛禱告說:「耶和華啊,求你使亞希多弗的計謀變為愚拙!」
32It happened as David was coming to the summit, where God was worshiped, that behold, Hushai the Archite met him with his coat torn, and dust on his head. 33And David said to him, “If you go over with me, then you will become a burden to me. 34“But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king; even as I was your father’s servant in time past, so now I will also be your servant,’ then you can foil the advice of Ahithophel for me. 35“Are Zadok and Abiathar the priests not with you there? So it shall be that whatever you hear from the king’s house, you shall report to Zadok and Abiathar the priests. 36“Behold their two sons are there with them, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them you shall send me everything that you hear.” 37So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
32大衛到了山頂、敬拜神的地方,見亞基人戶篩,衣服撕裂,頭蒙灰塵來迎接他。33大衛對他說:「你若與我同去,必累贅我;34你若回城去,對押沙龍說:『王啊,我願作你的僕人;我向來作你父親的僕人,現在我也照樣作你的僕人。』這樣,你就可以為我破壞亞希多弗的計謀。35祭司撒督和亞比亞他豈不都在那裏嗎?你在王宮裏聽見甚麼,就要告訴祭司撒督和亞比亞他。36撒督的兒子亞希瑪斯,亞比亞他的兒子約拿單,也都在那裏。凡你們所聽見的可以託這二人來報告我。」37於是,大衛的朋友戶篩進了城;押沙龍也進了耶路撒冷。
