撒母耳記下 23
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
大衛的遺言
23 耶西的兒子大衛是雅各的上帝膏立的王，他身居高位，在以色列能歌善詠。以下是他的遺言：
2 「耶和華的靈藉著我說話，
祂的言語在我口中。
3 以色列的上帝告訴我，
以色列的磐石對我說，
『以公義治理人民，
敬畏上帝的君王，
4 就像黎明的曙光、
晴朗的早晨，
又像雨後的光輝，
使大地長出青草。』
5 我的家在上帝面前不正是如此嗎？
上帝與我立下永遠的約，
這約穩妥可靠。
祂必拯救我，成全我的願望。
6 但惡人要像荊棘一樣被丟棄，
沒人用手碰他們，
7 人要拿鐵器和長矛把他們收集起來焚毀。」
大衛的勇士
8 以下是大衛的勇士：他革捫人約設·巴設，又稱伊斯尼人亞底挪，是三勇士之首，曾在一場交戰中殺掉八百敵人。
9 其次是亞合人朵多的兒子以利亞撒，他是三勇士之一。有一次，以色列人和非利士人打仗，他跟隨大衛向非利士人罵陣。以色列軍隊都撤退了， 10 他卻堅守陣地，奮勇殺敵，直到手臂發麻，握刀的手無法鬆開。那天，耶和華使以色列人大獲全勝。以色列軍隊回到以利亞撒那裡來撿死人的財物。 11 第三位勇士是哈拉人亞基的兒子沙瑪。有一次非利士人聚集在一塊長滿扁豆的田中和以色列人打仗，以色列人都逃跑了， 12 沙瑪卻站在田中間擊殺敵人，保衛了那塊田。那次，耶和華使以色列人大獲全勝。
13 在收割的時候，非利士軍兵在利乏音谷紮營，三十勇士中的三位到亞杜蘭洞見大衛。 14 那時大衛留守在堡壘裡，非利士人的駐軍在伯利恆。 15 大衛渴了，說：「真想喝一些伯利恆城門旁的井水！」 16 這三位勇士就衝過非利士人的營地，到伯利恆城門旁的井打水，帶回來給大衛。大衛卻不肯喝，他把水澆奠在耶和華面前， 17 說：「耶和華啊！這三人冒死去打水，這些水就像是他們的血，我決不能喝！」因此，大衛不肯喝。這是三勇士的事蹟。
18 洗魯雅的兒子、約押的兄弟亞比篩是這三位[a]勇士的統領，他曾揮矛刺死三百人，在三勇士中出了名， 19 最有聲望，因此做了他們的統領，只是不及前三位勇士。
20 甲薛人耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅是位勇士，做過非凡的事。他曾殺死摩押的兩個勇猛戰士，也曾在下雪天跳進坑中殺死一頭獅子， 21 還殺死了一個埃及勇士。當時埃及人拿著長矛，比拿雅拿著棍子迎戰，他奪了對方的長矛，用那矛刺死了對方。 22 這是耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅的事蹟，他在三個勇士中出了名。 23 他比三十勇士更有聲望，只是不及前三位勇士。大衛封他為護衛長。
24 三十勇士中有：約押的兄弟亞撒黑、伯利恆人朵多的兒子伊勒哈難、 25 哈律人沙瑪、哈律人以利加、 26 帕勒提人希利斯、提哥亞人益吉的兒子以拉、 27 亞拿突人亞比以謝、戶沙人米本乃、 28 亞合人撒們、尼陀法人瑪哈萊、 29 尼陀法人巴拿的兒子希立、便雅憫支派基比亞人利拜的兒子以太、 30 比拉頓人比拿雅、迦實溪人希太、 31 伯·亞拉巴人亞比亞本、巴魯米人押斯瑪弗、 32 沙本人以利雅哈巴、雅善的兒子們、哈拉人沙瑪的兒子約拿單、 33 哈拉人沙拉的兒子亞希暗、 34 瑪迦人亞哈拜的兒子以利法列、基羅人亞希多弗的兒子以連、 35 迦密人希斯萊、亞巴人帕萊、 36 瑣巴人拿單的兒子以甲、迦得人巴尼、 37 亞捫人洗勒、為洗魯雅的兒子約押拿兵器的比錄人拿哈萊、 38 以帖人以拉、以帖人迦立、 39 赫人烏利亞，共三十七名勇士。

David’s Last Words
23 Now these are the last words of David.
David the son of Jesse declares,
(A)The man who was raised on high declares,
(B)The anointed of the God of Jacob,
And the sweet psalmist of Israel,
2 “(C)The Spirit of Yahweh spoke by me,
And His word was on my tongue.
3 The God of Israel said,
(D)The Rock of Israel spoke to me,
‘(E)He who rules over men as a righteous one,
(F)Who rules in the fear of God,
4 (G)Is as the light of the morning when the sun rises,
A morning without clouds,
From brightness of the sun after rain.’
With the tender grass springing from the earth,
5 [a]Truly is not my house so with God?
For (H)He has made an everlasting covenant with me,
Ordered in all things, and secured;
For all my salvation and all my desire,
Will He not indeed make it grow?
6 (I)But the vile men, every one of them will be thrust away like thorns,
Because they cannot be taken in hand;
7 But the man who touches them
Must be [b]armed with iron and the shaft of a spear,
And (J)they will be completely burned with fire where they sit.”
David’s Mighty Men
8 (K)These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the [c]captains, he was called Adino the Eznite, because of eight hundred slain by him at one time; 9 and after him was Eleazar the son of (L)Dodo the (M)son of Ahohi, one of the three mighty men with David when they [d]reproached the Philistines who were gathered together there to battle and the men of Israel had gone up to retreat. 10 (N)He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary and [e]clung to the sword, and (O)Yahweh brought about a great salvation that day; and the people returned after him only to strip the slain.
11 Now after him was Shammah the son of Agee a (P)Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered [f]into a troop where there was a portion of the field full of lentils; and the people fled from before the Philistines. 12 But he took his stand in the midst of that portion and delivered it and struck down the Philistines. So (Q)Yahweh brought about a great salvation.
13 Then three of the thirty chief men went down and came to David in the harvest time to the (R)cave of Adullam, while the troop of the Philistines was camping in (S)the valley of Rephaim. 14 And David was then (T)in the fortress, while the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem. 15 (U)Then David had a craving and said, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!” 16 (V)So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water from the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and carried it and brought it to David. Nevertheless, he was not willing to drink it, but (W)poured it out to Yahweh; 17 and he said, “Be it far from me, O Yahweh, that I should do this. (X)Shall I drink the blood of the men who went [g]at the risk of their lives?” Therefore he was not willing to drink it. These things the three mighty men did.
18 (Y)Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was (Z)chief of the [h]thirty. And he swung his spear against three hundred [i]who were slain by him; and he had a name as well as the three. 19 Of the thirty he was most honored and became their commander; however, he did not attain to the three.
20 Then (AA)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of (AB)Kabzeel, mighty in deeds, struck down the [j]two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and struck down a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day. 21 He had also struck down an Egyptian, [k]an impressive man. Now in the Egyptian’s hand was a spear, but he went down to him with a club and snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear. 22 These things (AC)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and had a name as well as the three mighty men. 23 He was honored among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David appointed him over his guard.
24 (AD)Asahel the brother of Joab was among the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem, 25 (AE)Shammah the (AF)Harodite, Elika the Harodite, 26 Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the (AG)Tekoite, 27 Abiezer the (AH)Anathothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite, 28 Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the (AI)Netophathite, 29 (AJ)Heleb the son of Baanah the Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai of (AK)Gibeah of the sons of Benjamin, 30 Benaiah a (AL)Pirathonite, Hiddai of the brooks of (AM)Gaash, 31 Abi-albon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the (AN)Barhumite, 32 Eliahba the (AO)Shaalbonite, the sons of Jashen, Jonathan, 33 (AP)Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Ararite, 34 Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of (AQ)the Maacathite, (AR)Eliam the son of (AS)Ahithophel the Gilonite, 35 (AT)Hezro the (AU)Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite, 36 Igal the son of Nathan of (AV)Zobah, Bani the Gadite, 37 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the (AW)Beerothite, armor bearers of Joab the son of Zeruiah, 38 Ira the (AX)Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite, 39 (AY)Uriah the Hittite; thirty-seven in all.
