撒母耳记下 15
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
押沙龙取得民心
15 这事以后,押沙龙为自己预备了一辆战车和一些马匹,又预备了五十人在他前面奔走开路。 2 押沙龙常常清早起来,站在通往城门口的路旁。有争讼的案件要进去请王判决的人,押沙龙就把他叫到跟前来,问他:“你是从哪一座城来的?”他回答:“仆人是从以色列某一支派来的。” 3 押沙龙就对他说:“你看!你的案件有情有理,但是王并没有委人听你的案子。” 4 押沙龙又说:“但愿有人立我作这地的审判官,这样,有案件或诉讼的人,都可以到我这里来,我就给他公平的审判。” 5 如果有人走近押沙龙要拜他,他就伸手拉住他,并且与他亲吻。 6 所有来到王面前请求审决的以色列人,押沙龙都是这样对待他们。因此,押沙龙暗中迷惑了以色列人的心。
押沙龙谋反
7 过了四年(按照《马索拉文本》,“四年”作“四十年”;现参照各古译本翻译),押沙龙对王说:“求你准我到希伯仑去,好向耶和华还我所许的愿。 8 因为仆人住在亚兰的基述的时候,曾经许了一个愿说:‘如果耶和华使我再回到耶路撒冷来,我就要在希伯仑事奉他。’” 9 王对他说:“你平平安安地去吧!”于是他动身,往希伯仑去了。 10 押沙龙派遣探子到以色列的各支派中,说:“你们一听见号角的声音,就说:‘押沙龙在希伯仑作王了!’” 11 有二百人从耶路撒冷应邀与押沙龙同去。他们都是诚诚实实地去,对内情一点也不知道。 12 押沙龙献祭的时候,差派人去把大卫的参谋基罗人亚希多弗从他的本城基罗请来。于是叛乱的势力越来越大,跟随押沙龙的人民也越来越多。
大卫逃亡
13 有一个报信的人来见大卫说:“以色列人的心都归向押沙龙了。” 14 大卫就对所有在耶路撒冷与他在一起的臣仆说:“我们要起来逃走,不然我们就不能逃避押沙龙的面了,要赶快离开,恐怕他迅速赶上我们,使灾难临到我们身上,用刀击杀全城的人。” 15 王的臣仆对王说:“我主我王决定的一切,仆人都必遵行。” 16 于是王出走了,他的全家都跟在他的后头,却留下十个妃嫔看守王宫。 17 王出发了,众人都跟在他的脚后;他们在伯.墨哈停下来。 18 王所有的臣仆都从王的身边走过去,所有的基利提人、比利提人和迦特人,就是从迦特来跟从王的六百人,都从王面前走过去。
19 王对迦特人以太说:“你为甚么也与我们一同走呢?回去留在新王那里吧!因为你是个外族人,是个远离自己家乡逃到这里来的人。 20 你昨天才来,我怎可以今天就让你与我们一同流浪呢?现在我还不知道我要到哪里去。你回去吧!带着你的兄弟一同回去吧!愿耶和华的(《马索拉文本》没有“耶和华的”;现参照《七十士译本》补上)慈爱和信实与你同在。” 21 以太回答王说:“我指着永活的耶和华,在我主我王面前起誓,无论我主我王在甚么地方,或生或死,你仆人也必在那里。” 22 大卫对以太说:“你可以去,向前走吧!”迦特人以太就带着所有属他的人,和与他在一起的妇人孩子都向前走。 23 众人向前走的时候,遍地的人都放声大哭;王过了汲沦溪,众人就都走上通往旷野去的路。
命令撒督等人返回耶路撒冷
24 看哪!撒督也来了,所有抬 神约柜的利未人都与他在一起。他们把 神的约柜放下。亚比亚他上来,直到从城里出来的众人都走过去了。 25 王对撒督说:“把 神的约柜抬回城里去吧!我若是在耶和华眼前蒙恩,他必使我回来再看到约柜和他安居的地方。 26 他若是说:‘我不喜悦你。’看哪!我就在这里,他看怎样好,就怎样对待我吧!” 27 王又对撒督祭司说:“你不是先见吗?平平安安地回到城里去吧!你的儿子亚希玛斯和亚比亚他的儿子约拿单要与你一同回去。 28 我会在旷野的渡口那里等候,直到我接到从你们那里来的消息。” 29 于是撒督和亚比亚他把 神的约柜抬回耶路撒冷去,并且住在那里。
30 大卫走上橄榄山;他蒙着头,赤着脚,一边上,一边哭,所有与他在一起的人民也都蒙着头,一边上,一边哭。 31 有人告诉大卫说:“亚希多弗也在押沙龙的叛党之中。”大卫祷告说:“耶和华啊,求你使亚希多弗的计谋变为愚拙。” 32 大卫到了山顶,就是人敬拜 神的地方。看哪!有亚基人户筛衣服撕裂,头蒙灰尘,在那里迎接他。 33 大卫对他说:“你若是与我同去;必成为我的累赘。 34 如果你回到城里去,对押沙龙说:‘王啊!我愿作你的仆人,以前我作你父亲的仆人,现在我也照样作你的仆人。’这样,你就可以为我破坏亚希多弗的计谋。 35 撒督祭司和亚比亚他不是都在那里与你在一起吗?你在王宫里听见的话,都要告诉撒督祭司和亚比亚他。 36 看哪!还有他们的两个儿子和他们在那里,就是撒督的儿子亚希玛斯和亚比亚他的儿子约拿单。你们听见的一切,可以托他们来告诉我。” 37 于是大卫的朋友户筛进了城;押沙龙也进了耶路撒冷。
2 Samuel 15
New International Version
Absalom’s Conspiracy
15 In the course of time,(A) Absalom provided himself with a chariot(B) and horses and with fifty men to run ahead of him. 2 He would get up early and stand by the side of the road leading to the city gate.(C) Whenever anyone came with a complaint to be placed before the king for a decision, Absalom would call out to him, “What town are you from?” He would answer, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.” 3 Then Absalom would say to him, “Look, your claims are valid and proper, but there is no representative of the king to hear you.”(D) 4 And Absalom would add, “If only I were appointed judge in the land!(E) Then everyone who has a complaint or case could come to me and I would see that they receive justice.”
5 Also, whenever anyone approached him to bow down before him, Absalom would reach out his hand, take hold of him and kiss him. 6 Absalom behaved in this way toward all the Israelites who came to the king asking for justice, and so he stole the hearts(F) of the people of Israel.
7 At the end of four[a] years, Absalom said to the king, “Let me go to Hebron and fulfill a vow I made to the Lord. 8 While your servant was living at Geshur(G) in Aram, I made this vow:(H) ‘If the Lord takes me back to Jerusalem, I will worship the Lord in Hebron.[b]’”
9 The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he went to Hebron.
10 Then Absalom sent secret messengers throughout the tribes of Israel to say, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpets,(I) then say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron.’” 11 Two hundred men from Jerusalem had accompanied Absalom. They had been invited as guests and went quite innocently, knowing nothing about the matter. 12 While Absalom was offering sacrifices, he also sent for Ahithophel(J) the Gilonite, David’s counselor,(K) to come from Giloh,(L) his hometown. And so the conspiracy gained strength, and Absalom’s following kept on increasing.(M)
David Flees
13 A messenger came and told David, “The hearts of the people of Israel are with Absalom.”
14 Then David said to all his officials who were with him in Jerusalem, “Come! We must flee,(N) or none of us will escape from Absalom.(O) We must leave immediately, or he will move quickly to overtake us and bring ruin on us and put the city to the sword.”
15 The king’s officials answered him, “Your servants are ready to do whatever our lord the king chooses.”
16 The king set out, with his entire household following him; but he left ten concubines(P) to take care of the palace. 17 So the king set out, with all the people following him, and they halted at the edge of the city. 18 All his men marched past him, along with all the Kerethites(Q) and Pelethites; and all the six hundred Gittites who had accompanied him from Gath marched before the king.
19 The king said to Ittai(R) the Gittite, “Why should you come along with us? Go back and stay with King Absalom. You are a foreigner,(S) an exile from your homeland. 20 You came only yesterday. And today shall I make you wander(T) about with us, when I do not know where I am going? Go back, and take your people with you. May the Lord show you kindness and faithfulness.”[c](U)
21 But Ittai replied to the king, “As surely as the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king may be, whether it means life or death, there will your servant be.”(V)
22 David said to Ittai, “Go ahead, march on.” So Ittai the Gittite marched on with all his men and the families that were with him.
23 The whole countryside wept aloud(W) as all the people passed by. The king also crossed the Kidron Valley,(X) and all the people moved on toward the wilderness.
24 Zadok(Y) was there, too, and all the Levites who were with him were carrying the ark(Z) of the covenant of God. They set down the ark of God, and Abiathar(AA) offered sacrifices until all the people had finished leaving the city.
25 Then the king said to Zadok, “Take the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the Lord’s eyes, he will bring me back and let me see it and his dwelling place(AB) again. 26 But if he says, ‘I am not pleased with you,’ then I am ready; let him do to me whatever seems good to him.(AC)”
27 The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Do you understand?(AD) Go back to the city with my blessing. Take your son Ahimaaz with you, and also Abiathar’s son Jonathan.(AE) You and Abiathar return with your two sons. 28 I will wait at the fords(AF) in the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.” 29 So Zadok and Abiathar took the ark of God back to Jerusalem and stayed there.
30 But David continued up the Mount of Olives, weeping(AG) as he went; his head(AH) was covered and he was barefoot. All the people with him covered their heads too and were weeping as they went up. 31 Now David had been told, “Ahithophel(AI) is among the conspirators with Absalom.” So David prayed, “Lord, turn Ahithophel’s counsel into foolishness.”
32 When David arrived at the summit, where people used to worship God, Hushai(AJ) the Arkite(AK) was there to meet him, his robe torn and dust(AL) on his head. 33 David said to him, “If you go with me, you will be a burden(AM) to me. 34 But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, ‘Your Majesty, I will be your servant; I was your father’s servant in the past, but now I will be your servant,’(AN) then you can help me by frustrating(AO) Ahithophel’s advice. 35 Won’t the priests Zadok and Abiathar be there with you? Tell them anything you hear in the king’s palace.(AP) 36 Their two sons, Ahimaaz(AQ) son of Zadok and Jonathan(AR) son of Abiathar, are there with them. Send them to me with anything you hear.”
37 So Hushai,(AS) David’s confidant, arrived at Jerusalem as Absalom(AT) was entering the city.

Luther Bibel 1545
15 Und es begab sich darnach, daß Absalom ließ sich machen einen Wagen und Rosse und fünfzig Mann, die seine Trabanten waren.
2 Auch machte sich Absalom des Morgens früh auf und trat an den Weg bei dem Tor. Und wenn jemand einen Handel hatte, daß er zum König vor Gericht kommen sollte, rief ihn Absalom zu sich und sprach: Aus welcher Stadt bist du? Wenn dann der sprach: Dein Knecht ist aus der Stämme Israels einem,
3 so sprach Absalom zu ihm: Siehe, deine Sache ist recht und schlecht; aber du hast keinen, der dich hört, beim König.
4 Und Absalom sprach: O, wer setzt mich zum Richter im Lande, daß jedermann zu mir käme, der eine Sache und Gerichtshandel hat, daß ich ihm hülfe!
5 Und wenn jemand sich zu ihm tat, daß er wollte vor ihm niederfallen, so reckte er seine Hand aus und ergriff ihn und küßte ihn.
6 Auf diese Weise tat Absalom dem ganzen Israel, wenn sie kamen vor Gericht zum König, und stahl also das Herz der Männer Israels.
7 Nach vierzig Jahren sprach Absalom zum König: Ich will hingehen und mein Gelübde zu Hebron ausrichten, das ich dem HERRN gelobt habe.
8 Denn dein Knecht tat ein Gelübde, da ich zu Gessur in Syrien wohnte, und sprach: Wenn mich der HERR wieder gen Jerusalem bringt, so will ich dem HERRN einen Gottesdienst tun.
9 Der König sprach: Gehe hin mit Frieden. Und er machte sich auf und ging gen Hebron.
10 Absalom aber hatte Kundschafter ausgesandt in alle Stämme Israels und lassen sagen: Wenn ihr der Posaune Schall hören werdet, so sprecht: Absalom ist König geworden zu Hebron.
11 Es gingen aber mit Absalom zweihundert Mann von Jerusalem, die geladen waren; aber sie gingen in ihrer Einfalt und wußten nichts um die Sache.
12 Absalom aber sandte auch nach Ahithophel, dem Giloniten, Davids Rat, aus seiner Stadt Gilo. Da er nun die Opfer tat, ward der Bund stark, und das Volk lief zu und mehrte sich mit Absalom.
13 Da kam einer, der sagte es David an und sprach: Das Herz jedermanns in Israel folgt Absalom nach.
14 David sprach aber zu allen seinen Knechten, die bei ihm waren zu Jerusalem: Auf, laßt uns fliehen! denn hier wird kein entrinnen sein vor Absalom; eilet, daß wir gehen, daß er uns nicht übereile und ergreife uns und treibe ein Unglück auf uns und schlage die Stadt mit der Schärfe des Schwerts.
15 Da sprachen die Knechte des Königs zu ihm: Was mein Herr, der König, erwählt, siehe, hier sind deine Knechte.
16 Und der König zog hinaus und sein ganzes Haus ihm nach. Er ließ aber zehn Kebsweiber zurück, das Haus zu bewahren.
17 Und da der König und alles Volk, das ihm nachfolgte, hinauskamen, blieben sie stehen am äußersten Hause.
18 Und alle seine Knechte gingen an ihm vorüber; dazu alle Krether und Plether und alle Gathiter, sechshundert Mann, die von Gath ihm nachgefolgt waren, gingen an dem König vorüber.
19 Und der König sprach zu Itthai, dem Gathiter: Warum gehst du auch mit uns? Kehre um und bleibe bei dem König; denn du bist hier fremd und von deinem Ort gezogen hierher.
20 Gestern bist du gekommen, und heute sollte ich dich mit uns hin und her ziehen lassen? Denn ich will gehen, wohin ich gehen kann. Kehre um und deine Brüder mit dir; dir widerfahre Barmherzigkeit und Treue.
21 Itthai antwortete und sprach: So wahr der HERR lebt, und so wahr mein König lebt, an welchem Ort mein Herr, der König, sein wird, es gerate zum Tod oder zum Leben, da wird dein Knecht auch sein.
22 David sprach zu Itthai: So komm und gehe mit. Also ging Itthai, der Gathiter, und alle seine Männer und der ganze Haufe Kinder, die mit ihm waren.
23 Und das ganze Land weinte mit lauter Stimme, und alles Volk ging mit. Und der König ging über den Bach Kidron, und alles Volk ging vor auf dem Wege, der zur Wüste geht.
24 Und siehe, Zadok war auch da und alle Leviten, die bei ihm waren, und trugen die Lade des Bundes und stellten sie dahin. Und Abjathar trat empor, bis daß alles Volk zur Stadt hinauskam.
25 Aber der König sprach zu Zadok: Bringe die Lade Gottes wieder in die Stadt. Werde ich Gnade finden vor dem HERRN, so wird er mich wieder holen und wird mich sie sehen lassen und sein Haus.
26 Spricht er aber also: Ich habe nicht Lust zu dir, siehe, hier bin ich. Er mache es mit mir, wie es ihm wohl gefällt.
27 Und der König sprach zu dem Priester Zadok: O du Seher, kehre um wieder in die Stadt mit Frieden und mit euch eure beiden Söhne, Ahimaaz, dein Sohn, und Jonathan, der Sohn Abjathars!
28 Siehe ich will verziehen auf dem blachen Felde in der Wüste, bis daß Botschaft von euch komme, und sage mir an.
29 Also brachten Zadok und Abjathar die Lade Gottes wieder gen Jerusalem und blieben daselbst.
30 David aber ging den Ölberg hinan und weinte, und sein Haupt war verhüllt, und er ging barfuß. Dazu alles Volk, das bei ihm war, hatte ein jeglicher sein Haupt verhüllt und gingen hinan und weinten.
31 Und da es David angesagt ward, daß Ahithophel im Bund mit Absalom war, sprach er: HERR, mache den Ratschlag Ahithophels zur Narrheit!
32 Und da David auf die Höhe kam, da man Gott pflegt anzubeten, siehe, da begegnete ihm Husai, der Arachiter, mit zerrissenem Rock und Erde auf seinem Haupt.
33 Und David sprach zu ihm: Wenn du mit mir gehst, wirst du mir eine Last sein.
34 Wenn du aber wieder in die Stadt gingest und sprächest zu Absalom: Ich bin dein Knecht, ich will des Königs sein; der ich deines Vaters Knecht war zu der Zeit, will nun dein Knecht sein: So würdest du mir zugut den Ratschlag Ahithophels zunichte machen.
35 Auch sind Zadok und Abjathar, die Priester, mit dir. Alles, was du hörst aus des Königs Haus, würdest du ansagen den Priestern Zadok und Abjathar.
36 Siehe, es sind bei ihnen ihre zwei Söhne: Ahimaaz, Zadoks, und Jonathan, Abjathars Sohn. Durch die kannst du mir entbieten, was du hören wirst.
37 Also kam Husai, der Freund Davids, in die Stadt; und Absalom kam gen Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 15
King James Version
15 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
3 And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.
4 Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!
5 And it was so, that when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
6 And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
7 And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the Lord, in Hebron.
8 For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the Lord shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.
9 And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron.
11 And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing.
12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
13 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
14 And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
15 And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint.
16 And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house.
17 And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.
18 And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
19 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile.
20 Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth be with thee.
21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the Lord liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be.
22 And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.
24 And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city.
25 And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the Lord, he will bring me again, and shew me both it, and his habitation:
26 But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him.
27 The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art not thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
28 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me.
29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there.
30 And David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
31 And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Lord, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
32 And it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head:
33 Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me:
34 But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
35 And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok's son, and Jonathan Abiathar's son; and by them ye shall send unto me every thing that ye can hear.
37 So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
