1Samuel
Chapter29
1NowthePhilistineshadmusteredalltheirforcesinAphek,andtheIsraeliteswereencampedatthespringofHarodnearJezreel.
培肋舍特人将军队全调集在阿费克，同时以色列人在依次勒耳附近的泉旁扎营。
2AsthePhilistinelordsweremarchingtheirgroupsofahundredandathousand,DavidandhismenweremarchingintherearguardwithAchish.
培肋舍特的酋长，有领一百人的，也有领一千人的，列阵在前，达味带领自己的人同阿基士列阵在后。
3ThePhilistinechiefsasked,＂WhatarethoseHebrewsdoinghere?＂AndAchishansweredthem:＂Why,thatisDavid,theofficerofSaul,kingofIsrael.Hehasbeenwithmenowforayearortwo,andIhavenofaulttofindwithhimfromthedayhecameovertomeuntilthepresent.＂
培肋舍特人的将领说：＂这些希伯来人作什么？＂阿基士回答培肋舍特人的将领说：＂他不是以色列王撒乌耳的臣仆达味吗？他已同我在一起有一二年了，从他归顺我那一天起，直到今日，在他身上从未发现什么过错＂。
4ButthePhilistinechiefswereangeredatthisandsaidtohim:＂Sendthatmanback!Lethimreturntotheplaceyoupickedoutforhim.Hemustnotgodownintobattlewithus,lestduringthebattlehebecomeourenemy.Forhowelsecanhewinbackhismaster'sfavor,ifnotwiththeheadsofthesemenofours?
培肋舍特将领向他大发愤怒说：＂把这人打发回去，叫他回到你给他指定的地方去，不要让他同我们一起下去打仗，免得他在战争中作出卖我们的奸细，他不借用我们这些人的头，怎能获得他主人的欢心？
5IsthisnottheDavidofwhomtheysingduringtheirdances,‘Saulhasslainhisthousands,butDavidhistenthousands'?＂
人在舞蹈时歌咏说：＂‘撒乌耳杀了一千，达味杀了一万’，不就是这达味吗？＂
6SoAchishsummonedDavidandsaidtohim:＂AstheLORDlives,youarehonest,andIshouldbepleasedtohaveyouactivewithmeinthecamp,forIhavefoundnothingwrongwithyoufromthedayofyourarrivaltothisday.Butyouarenotwelcometothelords.
阿基士就将达味召来，向他说：＂愿永生的上主作证：你是可靠的人，你同我在军中出入，我很满意，因为自你投奔我那一天起，直到今日我在你身上并没有发现什么可指摘之事；但是酋长们不喜欢你。
7Withdrawpeaceably,now,anddonothingthatmightdispleasethePhilistinelords.＂
现今你回去，平安去罢！免得培肋舍特人的酋长们厌恶＂。
8ButDavidsaidtoAchish:＂WhathaveIdone?OrwhathaveyouagainstyourservantfromthefirstdayIhavebeenwithyoutothisday,thatIcannotgotofightagainsttheenemiesofmylordtheking?＂
达味回答阿基士说：＂我作了什么不对？或者自从我来服事你那天起，直到今日，你在你仆人身上发现了什么不对，竟不肯让我同我大王的敌人交战？＂
9＂Youknow,＂AchishansweredDavid,＂thatyouareacceptabletome.ButthePhilistinechiefshavedeterminedyouarenottogoupwithustobattle.
阿基士回答达味说：＂我知道你在我眼中，好象一位天主的使者，但培肋舍特的将领说：不许他同我们一起作战！
10Sothefirstthingtomorrow,youandyourlord'sservantswhocamewithyou,gototheplaceIpickedoutforyou.Donotdecidetotakeumbrageatthis;youareasacceptabletomeasanangelofGod.Butmakeanearlymorningstart,assoonasitgrowslight,andbeonyourway.＂
明早起来，你同你一起来的你主人的仆人，都往我给你指定的地方去，心中不要抱怨，我是喜欢你的，所以明天，天一亮，你们就动身回去吧！＂
11SoDavidandhismenleftearlyinthemorningtoreturntothelandofthePhilistines.ThePhilistines,however,wentonuptoJezreel.
于是达味和他的人清早就起身，回培肋舍特地方去了。培肋舍特人上了依次勒耳。
