撒母耳记上 2
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
哈拿之歌
2 哈拿禱告說:
“我的心因耶和華喜樂,
我的角因耶和華高舉,
我的口向仇敵大大誇耀,
因為我以你的救恩為樂。
2 沒有人像耶和華那麼聖潔,
因為除你以外沒有別的神,
也沒有磐石像我們的 神。
3 你們不要多說驕傲的話,
也不要口出狂妄之言,
因為耶和華是全知的 神,
人的一切行為他都鑒察。
4 勇士的弓都被折斷,
跌倒的人卻以力量束腰。
5 飽足的,要勞碌覓食,
飢餓的,不再飢餓;
不能生育的,生了七個兒女,
有過許多兒女的,反倒衰微。
6 耶和華使人死,也使人活;
使人下陰間,也使人從陰間上來。
7 耶和華使人貧窮,也使人富足;
使人降卑,也使人升高。
8 他從灰塵中抬舉貧寒的人,
從糞堆中提拔窮乏的人,
使他們與顯貴同坐,
承受尊貴的座位。
大地的柱子屬於耶和華,
他把全地安放在柱子上面。
9 耶和華必保護虔誠人的腳步,
卻使惡人在黑暗中滅亡,
因為人得勝不是靠著力量。
10 至高者在天上打雷,
耶和華必打碎與他作對的人。
耶和華要審判地的四極,
卻要賜力量給他所立的王,
高舉他膏立之人的角。”
11 後來,以利加拿回拉瑪自己的家去。那孩子卻留在以利祭司面前事奉耶和華。
以利兒子的罪行
12 以利的兩個兒子是無賴,不尊重耶和華, 13 也不理會當時祭司待人民的規矩。凡是有人獻祭,在煮肉的時候,祭司的僕人就來,手裡拿著三齒的叉, 14 把叉子插入煎盤裡,或鼎裡,或釜裡,或鍋裡,叉子插上來的,祭司都拿去。所有到示羅來的以色列人,祭司都是這樣待他們。 15 還有,在焚燒脂油以前,祭司的僕人就來,對獻祭的人說:“把祭肉交給祭司燒烤吧,因為他不會向你要煮過的肉,單要生的。” 16 如果那人對僕人說:“必須先把脂油焚燒了,然後你才可以隨意去拿。”他就說:“不可以,你現在就要給我,否則我就搶去。” 17 這樣,那兩個青年人在耶和華面前所犯的罪很大,因為他們藐視獻給耶和華的祭物。
撒母耳在示羅事奉
18 那時,撒母耳還是個孩童,束著細麻布的以弗得,在耶和華面前事奉。 19 撒母耳的母親每年為他做一件小外袍,她和丈夫一同上來獻年祭的時候,就帶來給他。 20 以利給以利加拿和他的妻子祝福,說:“願耶和華從這婦人身上還給你後裔,代替你獻給耶和華的孩子。”他們就回自己的地方去了。 21 耶和華眷顧哈拿,她再懷孕,先後生了三個兒子和兩個女兒。那孩子撒母耳在耶和華面前,漸漸長大。
以利教訓兒子
22 以利已經非常老了,聽見自己的兒子對待以色列人的一切事,又聽見他們與在會幕門口侍應的婦女同寢。 23 以利就對他們說:“你們為甚麼作這些事?我親自從眾民那裡聽見了你們的惡行。 24 我兒啊,不要這樣,因為我聽見的消息很不好,你們使耶和華的子民違背律法。 25 如果有人得罪人,有官長(“官長”原文作“ 神”)懲罰他;如果有人得罪耶和華,有誰為他求情呢?”他們卻不聽父親的話,因為耶和華有意要殺他們。 26 那孩子撒母耳的身量,耶和華和眾人對他的喜愛,都不斷增長。
預言以利家遭禍
27 有一位神人來見以利,對他說:“耶和華這樣說:‘你父家在埃及法老家為奴的時候,我不是向他們顯現嗎? 28 我不是從以色列眾支派中,選出他們作我的祭司,上我的壇燒香,在我面前穿以弗得嗎?我不是把以色列人所獻的火祭,都賜給了你的父家嗎? 29 你們為甚麼輕視(“輕視”直譯是“踢”)我所吩咐要為我居所獻上的祭牲和禮物呢?(《馬索拉文本》本句意思不明確)你為甚麼尊重你的兒子過於尊重我,用我子民以色列所獻一切最好的禮物自肥呢?’ 30 因此,耶和華以色列的 神說:‘我曾說:你的家和你的父家,必永遠行在我面前。’現在耶和華卻說:‘我決不容你們這樣行了,因為尊重我的,我必尊重他;藐視我的,必受到輕視。 31 日子快到了,我要砍下你和你父親的膀臂,使你家中再沒有有權勢的長者。 32 我賜給以色列人的一切福分,你必像一個對頭,以嫉妒的眼光來看;而在你的家中,必永遠再沒有有權勢的長者。 33 我必不從我的祭壇那裡滅絕你家的人,免得你的眼睛昏花,心靈憂傷,但所有你家中增添的人都必像世人一樣死去(按照《七十士譯本》和《死海古卷》,“像世人一樣死去”作“死在人的刀下”)。 34 你的兩個兒子何弗尼和非尼哈所要遭遇的事,是給你的一個證據:他們二人必同日而死。 35 我要為自己興起一位忠心的祭司,他必依照我的心意行事;我要為他建立一個穩固的家,他一生必行在我的受膏者面前。 36 你家中剩下的人,都要來向他下拜;求一個銀幣,一塊餅,也要說:求你容我參與祭司的職務,使我可以有點餅吃。’”
撒母耳记上 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
哈娜的祷告
2 哈娜祷告说:
“我的心因耶和华而欢喜,
我的力量因耶和华而倍增,
我的口向敌人夸耀,
我因耶和华的拯救而快乐。
2 “耶和华圣洁无比,
独一无二,
没有磐石像我们的上帝。
3 不要再骄横傲慢、口出狂言,
因为耶和华鉴察万事,
祂会按着人的行为施行审判。
4 勇士的弓被折断,
软弱的变为刚强。
5 素来丰衣足食的为糊口而当雇工,
本来食不果腹的却不再挨饿。
不育的妇人现在生了七个孩子,
儿女成群的妇人却子女尽失。
6 耶和华掌管生死,
祂使人进入坟墓,也使人起死回生。
7 贫穷富足在于祂,
卑微高贵也在于祂。
8 祂从灰尘中提拔穷苦的人,
从粪堆里擢升贫贱的人,
使他们与王子同坐,
得享尊荣。
大地的根基属于耶和华,
祂在上面建立了世界。
9 祂保护祂的圣民,
使恶人在黑暗中灭亡,
因为得胜不是靠人的勇力。
10 跟耶和华对抗的人必被击溃,
祂必从天上用雷击打他。
祂必审判天下,
赐力量给祂所立的君王,
使祂所膏立的人大有权柄。”
11 以利加拿返回了拉玛,小撒母耳却留在了示罗,在祭司以利的带领下事奉耶和华。
以利的恶子
12 以利的两个儿子为人邪恶,不敬畏耶和华, 13 对民众不守自己做祭司的职分。每当民众来献祭,还在煮祭肉的时候,他们的仆人便拿着三齿叉来, 14 从罐里、鼎里、釜里或锅里插肉,把插上来的祭肉据为己有。他们这样对待所有到示罗来的以色列人。 15 甚至在焚烧脂肪之前,祭司的仆人就来对献祭的人说:“把肉给祭司烤吧!他不要煮过的,只要生的。” 16 如果献祭的人答道:“要先焚烧脂肪,之后你可以随便拿。”仆人便会说:“不,你现在就给我,不然我就要抢了。” 17 在耶和华的眼中,这两个青年罪恶深重,因为他们轻视献给耶和华的祭物。
18 那时年少的撒母耳穿着细麻布的以弗得,在耶和华面前事奉。 19 他母亲每年都为他缝一件小外衣,在她和丈夫来献年祭时带给他。 20 以利祝福以利加拿和他妻子,对他说:“愿耶和华让你妻子再给你生儿育女,代替她求来并献给耶和华的孩子。”他们就回家去了。 21 耶和华眷顾哈娜,她又生了三个儿子和两个女儿。年少的撒母耳在耶和华面前渐渐长大。
22 以利年事已高,他听说两个儿子对待以色列人的恶行,以及他们与在会幕门口供职的妇女行淫的事后, 23 就对他们说:“你们为什么做这样的事?我从百姓口中听说了有关你们的恶行。 24 我儿啊,不可这样,我听到在耶和华的子民中流传着你们的坏名声。 25 人若得罪了别人,有上帝为他们调解。但人若得罪了耶和华,谁能为他调解呢?”然而,他们不肯听从父亲的话,因为耶和华决意要杀他们。
26 小撒母耳渐渐长大,深受耶和华和民众的喜爱。
预言以利家的遭祸
27 有一个上帝的仆人来见以利,对他说:“耶和华说,‘你的祖先在埃及被法老奴役的时候,我向他们显现。 28 我在以色列各支派中选出你的先祖做我的祭司,在我的祭坛上献祭烧香,穿着以弗得事奉我。我把以色列人献的火祭都赐给你先祖家。 29 你们为什么蔑视献给我的祭物和供品?你为什么把你的儿子看得比我还重要,拿我以色列子民所献的上好祭物来养肥自己?’
30 “所以,以色列的上帝耶和华宣告说,‘我曾经应许让你们家族永远做我的祭司。’但现在耶和华宣布,‘这绝不可能了。尊重我的,我必尊重他;藐视我的,必遭藐视。 31 看啊,时候将到,我要终结你和你家族的力量,你们家族必没有一个老人。 32 你必以羡慕的眼光看着我赐福以色列人,你家中却永远没有一个老人。 33 我不会把你家中的人从我坛前灭绝,但留下来的人必使你哭瞎双眼、伤心欲绝。你的子孙必中年夭亡。 34 你的两个儿子何弗尼和非尼哈必死在同一天,这就是我言出必行的记号。 35 我要为自己立一位忠心的祭司,他必照我的心意行事。我要赐福给他的后代,他必永远服侍我膏立的王。 36 那时,你家存留下来的人要在他面前下拜,乞讨银子和饼,并恳求说,请给我一个祭司的职位以便糊口!’”
1 Samuel 2
King James Version
2 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
2 There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
6 The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
7 The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and he hath set the world upon them.
9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
10 The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the Lord before Eli the priest.
12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord.
13 And the priest's custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;
14 And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.
15 Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.
16 And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.
17 Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.
18 But Samuel ministered before the Lord, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
19 Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the Lord. And they went unto their own home.
21 And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the Lord.
22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the Lord's people to transgress.
25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them.
26 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the Lord, and also with men.
27 And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.
32 And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.
33 And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.
34 And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.
36 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
