撒母耳记上第12章

《圣经》撒母耳记上-第12章

撒上12:1 撒母耳对以色列众人说：“你们向我所求的，我已应允了，为你们立了一个王； (串)撒上8:5|撒上11:14,15本章13

†[吕]撒母耳对以色列众人说：“看哪，关于你们向我所说的，我都听你们的话了：我设立了一个王来管理你们。

†[思]撒慕尔对全以色列人说：“看，我全听从了你们向我所说的话，立了一位君王管理你们。

†[当代]撒母耳对以色列人说：“看，我已依照你们的要求，为你们立了一个王。

†[新译]撒母耳对以色列人说：“看哪！我已经听从了你们向我所说的一切话，为你们立了一个王。

†[Wlb]撒母耳谓以色列众曰、尔所求于我者、我悉允之、立王治尔、

†[Xdv]塞缪尔对以色列人说：“我已经照你们的要求给你们立王治理你们。

†[Kjv]And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.

†[Nkjv]Now Samuel said to all Israel: "Indeed I have heeded your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.

†[BBE]And Samuel said to all Israel, You see that I have given ear to everything you said to me, and have made a king over you.

†[GNT] Then Samuel said to the people of Israel, "I have done what you asked me to do. I have given you a king to rule you,

†[NIV]Samuel said to all Israel, "I have listened to everything you said to me and have set a king over you.

本会注释　　你们向我所求的。上帝已经赐给他们一个符合他们理想的王，至少就外表来说是这样，并且似乎也符合上帝期望的属灵标准。过去的几个月中，扫罗已经证明自己拥有上帝的灵。他举止安静，忍耐对待他的敌人们，在耶和华面前谦卑，顺从先知的忠告，在作战中精力充沛，在紧急事件中果断坚定，并且最先自我牺牲。
　　我已应允了。上帝的国度基于自由选择的原则。上帝从起初知道末后的事实并不以任何方式限制人做他自己的各项决定（见《教育论》178页）。上帝在百姓进入巴勒斯坦之前就告诉他们，到了一个时候，他们会要求立王（申17:14）。祂并不是在表达祂在这件事中的旨意，而只是向他们展开会发生之事件的进程。
　　为你们立了一个王。要是耶和华允许以色列举行一次选举的话，较大支派的政治热望无疑就会导致混乱和痛苦的分裂。通过掣签，从最小的支派中选出了一个人。以色列应该认识到继续需要上帝的指导。即使现在照他们的愿望有了一个王，他们也必须记得不是倚靠势力，不是倚靠才能，乃是倚靠上帝的灵方能成事（见亚4:6）。他们原应该一直乐于随从他们的士师撒母耳，他曾在他服侍的几十年中带领他们经过了许多危机。但是现在他们喜爱的君主制政府形式已经不能撤回地确定了，撒母耳努力向他们说明领袖不可以走的太快，超过百姓愿意跟从的速度，而且领袖的行动必须受限于百姓的自愿选择。虽然他感觉到了前面的危险，但他心中对他们没有一点怨恨，无论如何他也没有以任何方式离弃他们，任他们自行其事。

撒上12:2 现在有这王在你们前面行。我已年老发白，我的儿子都在你们这里。我从幼年直到今日都在你们前面行。 (串)撒上8:1,5

†[吕]看哪，现在有这一位王在你们面前往来了；我，我年老发白了；看吧，我的儿子都和你们在一起；我，我自幼年到今日、都在你们面前往来。

†[思]从此以后，有君王领导你们。至于我，我已老了，头发也白了；不过我的儿子还同你们在一起。我从小直到今天，常在你们面往来。

†[当代]你们已经有君王了，但我却是风烛残年，满头白发。我从小孩时代就开始为你们服务，

†[新译]现在，有这王领导你们。至于我，我已经年老发白，我的儿子也都在你们那里；我自幼年直到今日都领导你们。

†[Wlb]今有王出入于尔前、我已年迈皓首、我子与尔相处、我自幼出入于尔前、至于今日、

†[Xdv]现在，你们有王来领导你们。至于我，我已年老发白，我的儿子们都跟你们在一起。我从年幼到现在，一直领导你们。

†[Kjv]And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.

†[Nkjv]And now here is the king, walking before you; and I am old and grayheaded, and look, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my childhood to this day.

†[BBE]And now, see, the king is before you: and I am old and grey-headed, and my sons are with you: I have been living before your eyes from my early days till now.

†[GNT] and now you have him to lead you. As for me, I am old and gray, and my sons are with you. I have been your leader from my youth until now.

†[NIV]Now you have a king as your leader. As for me, I am old and gray, and my sons are here with you. I have been your leader from my youth until this day.

撒上12:3 我在这里，你们要在耶和华和他的受膏者面前给我作见证。我夺过谁的牛，抢过谁的驴，欺负过谁，虐待过谁，从谁手里受过贿赂因而眼瞎呢？若有，我必偿还。” (串)撒上24:6;26:9,11,16撒下1:14,16|民16:15出20:17

†[吕]看哪，我在这里；你们尽管当着永恒主和他所膏立者面前、作证控诉我：我取过谁的牛？取过谁的驴？我欺压过谁，虐待过谁，压制过谁？我从谁手里取过赎金，以致蒙蔽眼睛？作证控诉我吧，我要偿还。”

†[思]看，我在这，请你们在上主面前，在他受傅者面前答覆我：我夺过谁的牛，或夺过谁的驴？我压迫过谁，或虐待过谁？从谁手接受过掩人耳目的贿赂？若有，我必归还你们。”

†[当代]现在，我站在主和祂的受膏者面前，请你们坦白告诉我：我偷取过人家的牛或驴吗？欺骗过你们吗？我压迫过他人、收受贿赂、以致被钱财迷惑了双眼吗？如果我有做错的话，就请你们告诉我，我一定会偿还。”

†[新译]看哪，我在这里！你们只管在耶和华面前，以及在他的受膏者面前，作证指控我：我夺过谁的牛？抢过谁的驴？欺负过谁？虐待过谁？从谁手里受过贿赂，以致我的眼睛因此被蒙住呢？如果有，我必偿还给你们。”

†[Wlb]我在此、尔于耶和华及其受膏者前、可为我证、我曾强取何人之牛、劫夺何人之驴、欺侮何人、苛虐何人、受赇于何人之手、以蔽我目、若有、我必偿之、

†[Xdv]现在，我在这里；如果我做过什么错事，你们可以在上主和他选立的王面前指控我。我夺过人家的牛或抢过人家的驴吗？我欺骗或压榨过什么人吗？我收过谁的贿赂没有？如果我做过这一类的事，我一定偿还。”

†[Kjv]Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and

†[Nkjv]Here I am. Witness against me before the LORD and before His anointed: Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I received any bribe with which to blind my eyes? I will res

†[BBE]Here I am: give witness against me before the Lord and before the man on whom he has put the holy oil: whose ox or ass have I taken? to whom have I been untrue? who has been crushed down by me? from whose hand have I taken a price for the blinding of my e

†[GNT] Here I am. If I have done anything wrong, accuse me now in the presence of the Lord and the king he has chosen. Have I taken anybody's cow or anybody's donkey? Have I cheated or oppressed anyone? Have I accepted a bribe from anyone? If I have done any of

†[NIV]Here I stand. Testify against me in the presence of the Lord and his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed? From whose hand have I accepted a bribe to make me shut my eyes? If I have done an

本会注释　　我在这里。这位年迈的先知没有以自我为中心。百姓由于近来的胜利以及立王的快乐而极其兴奋，撒母耳努力使百姓冷静地数算上帝以往的作为，并考虑将来的前途。在现在建立的君主政体之下，撒母耳作为士师的服务就不再需要了。王会有战士围绕自己（撒上14:52）。撒母耳的道德影响力会被扫罗掌握的政治势力所遮蔽。然而撒母耳仍然可以是上帝的代言人，是上帝的灵藉以指示祂百姓的通道。
　　对撒母耳来说，这是一个大危机的时候。他感到在很大程度上他即将传达之信息的说服力有赖于他自己品格的正直。除此之外他的信息就不会有什么分量。从他出生的时候他们就认识他；他们都知道他作为先知的工作；他们都目睹了他作为士师和先知的行为；他们知道他模范的品格；他们个人都熟知他判决的公正与公平；他们都乐意承认他从未因公肥己，确信他生活的唯一目标就是履行上帝为他们的福利发出的命令。
　　撒母耳的一生清楚地显明了品格象植物一样，是逐渐成长的。从他的童年时期起，一种奉献的精神就控制了他的才能。就象液汁是供应植物生长的要素一样，圣灵成了一种内在的、安静的力量渗透他所有的思想、感情和行动，直到所有的人都能看到他的生活是遵照了那神圣的样式。撒母耳匀称的品格是在圣灵的指导之下个人履行职责的结果。现今也是这样，“凡顺服上帝大能的人，上帝的灵必在他们里面烧尽罪恶”（《历代愿望》107页）。今天的人也完全可能成为一个撒母耳，象基督降生之前一千年一样。

撒上12:4 众人说：“你未曾欺负我们，虐待我们，也未曾从谁手里受过什么。”

†[吕]众人说：“你未曾欺压过我们，未曾压制过我们，也未曾从任何人手里取过什么。”

†[思]他们答说：“你总没有压迫或虐待过我们，也没有从任何人手接受过什么。”

†[当代]他们一起答道：“没有啊！你从没有欺骗或压迫过我们，你也从没有接受过贿赂。”

†[新译]他们回答：“你没有欺负过我们，没有虐待过我们，也没有从谁手里取过什么东西。”

†[Wlb]佥曰、尔末尝欺我虐我、亦未尝受何物于人手、

†[Xdv]民众回答：“你没有欺骗我们或压榨我们；你没有向谁拿过什么东西。”

†[Kjv]And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.

†[Nkjv]And they said, "You have not cheated us or oppressed us, nor have you taken anything from any man's hand."

†[BBE]And they said, You have never been untrue to us or cruel to us; you have taken nothing from any man.

†[GNT] The people answered, "No, you have not cheated us or oppressed us; you have not taken anything from anyone."

†[NIV]You have not cheated or oppressed us," they replied. "You have not taken anything from anyone's hand."

撒上12:5 撒母耳对他们说：“你们在我手里没有找着什么，有耶和华和他的受膏者今日为证。”他们说：“愿他为证。”

†[吕]撒母耳对他们说：“你们在我手里没有找着什么；有永恒主在你们中间作证，也有他所膏立者今天作证。”他们说：“有他作证。”

†[思]他又对他们说：“上主给你们作证，受傅者今日也作证：你们在我手中没有找出什么。”他们答说：“可以作证。”

†[当代]撒母耳说：“愿主与新膏立的王为我作证，我从没有抢夺过你们任何一样东西。”他们回答说：“是的，愿他为证。”

†[新译]撒母耳对他们说：“今天耶和华在你们中间作见证，他的膏立者也作见证；你们在我手里没有找到什么。”他们说：“愿他作证。”

†[Wlb]曰、今日耶和华为证、其受膏者亦为证、汝于我手、索之无获、佥曰、彼为证、

†[Xdv]塞缪尔说：“今天，上主和他选立的王是我的证人；你们知道我是清白的。”民众说：“是的，上主是我们的证人。”

†[Kjv]And he said unto them, The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.

†[Nkjv]Then he said to them, "The LORD is witness against you, and His anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand." And they answered, "He is witness."

†[BBE]Then he said, The Lord is witness against you, and the man on whom he has put the holy oil is witness this day that you have seen no wrong in me. And they said, He is witness.

†[GNT] Samuel replied, "The Lord and the king he has chosen are witnesses today that you have found me to be completely innocent." "Yes, the Lord is our witness," they answered.

†[NIV]Samuel said to them, "The Lord is witness against you, and also his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand." "He is witness," they said.

撒上12:6 撒母耳对百姓说：“从前立摩西、亚伦，又领你们列祖出埃及地的是耶和华。 (串)弥6:4

†[吕]撒母耳对人民说：“作证的是永恒主，那遣派摩西亚伦、又将你们列祖从埃及地领上来的永恒主。

†[思]撒慕尔又对百姓说：“作见证的，是兴起梅瑟和亚郎，并领你们祖先从埃及地上来的上主。

†[当代]撒母耳继续说：“主指派摩西和亚伦带领你们的祖先离开埃及。

†[新译]撒母耳对人民说：“从前选立摩西和亚伦，又把你们的列祖从埃及地领上来的，是耶和华。

†[Wlb]撒母耳语民曰、昔立摩西亚伦导尔列祖出埃及者、即耶和华也、

†[Xdv]塞缪尔继续说：“那位拣选摩西和亚伦的上主曾经领你们出埃及。

†[Kjv]And Samuel said unto the people, It is the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.

†[Nkjv]Then Samuel said to the people, "It is the LORD who raised up Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up from the land of Egypt.

†[BBE]And Samuel said to the people, The Lord is witness, who gave authority to Moses and Aaron, and who took your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.

†[GNT] Samuel continued, "The Lord is the one who chose Moses and Aaron and who brought your ancestors out of Egypt.

†[NIV]Then Samuel said to the people, "It is the Lord who appointed Moses and Aaron and brought your forefathers up out of Egypt.

本会注释　　是耶和华。他们都蒙召见证是耶和华曾“立”摩西和亚伦，保护他们脱离法老的报复，把他们从为奴之家带出来。可是他们寻求一位王，就是暗示即使他们定居在自己的城市不再为奴，上帝也不能保护他们脱离四围列国的掠夺。

撒上12:7 现在你们要站住，等我在耶和华面前对你们讲论耶和华向你们和你们列祖所行一切公义的事。

†[吕]现在你们要站住，我好将永恒主向你们和你们列祖所显的义气、都在永恒主面前跟你们辩诉清楚。

†[思]现今你们要前来，我要在上主面前使你们认清，上主向你们和你们祖先所施行的一切恩惠：

†[当代]现在，你们都来站在主的面前，让我来提醒你们祂过去曾为你们和你们祖先所做的一切公义事情。

†[新译]现在你们要站住，我要在耶和华面前与你们讲论耶和华向你们的列祖所行一切公义的事。

†[Wlb]尔当屹立、我于耶和华前、将以耶和华为尔及尔列祖、所行之义事、与尔辨之、

†[Xdv]现在，你们别动！我在上主面前要指控你们，提醒你们：上主为了救你们和你们的祖先做了多么奇异的大事。

†[Kjv]Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers.

†[Nkjv]Now therefore, stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD concerning all the righteous acts of the LORD which He did to you and your fathers:

†[BBE]Keep your places now, while I take up the argument with you before the Lord, and give you the story of the righteousness of the Lord, which he has made clear by his acts to you and to your fathers.

†[GNT] Now stand where you are, and I will accuse you before the Lord by reminding you of all the mighty actions the Lord did to save you and your ancestors.

†[NIV]Now then, stand here, because I am going to confront you with evidence before the Lord as to all the righteous acts performed by the Lord for you and your fathers.

撒上12:8 从前雅各到了埃及，后来你们列祖呼求耶和华，耶和华就差遣摩西、亚伦领你们列祖出埃及，使他们在这地方居住。 (串)创46:5-7|出2:23|出3:10;4:14-16|士6:8撒上10:18

†[吕]从前雅各到了埃及，埃及人苦害他们；后来你们列祖向永恒主哀呼，永恒主就差遣摩西亚伦领你们列祖从埃及出来，又（传统：他们）使他们在这地方居住。

†[思]当雅各伯和他的儿子来到埃及时，埃及人压迫他们，你们的祖先就向上主哀号，上主遂派遗梅瑟和亚郎领你们的祖先离开了埃及，使他们住在这个地方。

†[当代]“以色列人在埃及的时候，他们向主呼求，主就差遣摩西和亚伦带领他们来到这里居住。

†[新译]从前雅各到了埃及，后来你们的列祖哀求耶和华，耶和华就差遣摩西和亚伦去把你们的列祖从埃及领出来，又使他们在这地方居住。

†[Wlb]雅各既至埃及、尔祖吁耶和华、耶和华遣摩西亚伦导之出、使居斯土、

†[Xdv]当雅各一家到埃及，埃及人压迫他们的时候，你们的祖先向上主求救。上主差派摩西和亚伦领他们出埃及，把他们安顿在这地方。

†[Kjv]When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.

†[Nkjv]When Jacob had gone into Egypt, and your fathers cried out to the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt and made them dwell in this place.

†[BBE]When Jacob and his sons had come into Egypt, and were crushed by the Egyptians, the prayers of your fathers came up to the Lord, and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, who took your fathers out of Egypt, and he put them into this place.

†[GNT] When Jacob and his family went to Egypt and the Egyptians oppressed them, your ancestors cried to the Lord for help, and he sent Moses and Aaron, who brought them out of Egypt and settled them in this land.

†[NIV]After Jacob entered Egypt, they cried to the Lord for help, and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your forefathers out of Egypt and settled them in this place.

撒上12:9 他们却忘记耶和华他们的上帝，他就把他们付与夏琐将军西西拉的手里，和非利士人并摩押王的手里。于是这些人常来攻击他们。 (串)士4:2|士10:7;13:1|士3:12

†[吕]他们却忘了永恒主他们的上帝，上帝就把他们交付于夏琐的军长西西拉手里，和非利士人跟摩押王手里；于是这些人常来攻打他们。

†[思]但他们忘却了上主他们的天主，他就将他们交在哈祚尔的元帅息色辣手中、培肋舍特人手中和摩阿布王手中，使这些人攻打他们。

†[当代]但以色列人很快就忘记了主他们的上帝，所以主就让夏琐的大将西西拉，非利士人和摩押王把他们征服。

†[新译]他们却忘记了耶和华他们的　神，　神就把他们交在夏琐的将军西西拉的手中，以及非利士人和摩押王的手中，于是这些人常常攻打他们。

†[Wlb]惟彼忘其上帝耶和华、耶和华付之于夏琐军长西西拉、及非利士人、与摩押王之手、遂与之战、

†[Xdv]但是他们竟忘记了上主──他们的上帝。所以，上主让非利士人、摩押王，和夏琐城的将军西西拉攻打你们的祖先，征服他们。

†[Kjv]And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.

†[Nkjv]And when they forgot the LORD their God, He sold them into the hand of Sisera, commander of the army of Hazor, into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them.

†[BBE]But they were false to the Lord their God, and he gave them up into the hands of Sisera, captain of the army of Jabin, king of Hazor, and into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the king of Moab, who made war against them.

†[GNT] But the people forgot the Lord their God, and so he let the Philistines and the king of Moab and Sisera, commander of the army of the city of Hazor, fight against your ancestors and conquer them.

†[NIV]But they forgot the Lord their God; so he sold them into the hand of Sisera, the commander of the army of Hazor, and into the hands of the Philistines and the king of Moab, who fought against them.

本会注释　　他们却忘记耶和华。以色列人曾在埃及被拜偶像的人包围，如今又住在实行最可耻崇拜形式的民族中间，他们要成为上帝特别的子民，用一种更好的生活方式作见证，来对付生活中复杂的问题，那是很困难的。敬拜的形式就象现今服装的样式一样固定了。要有极大的勇气才能抵挡民意的潮流，而很少有人愿意尝试这样做。在迁往埃及的许多年前，罗得曾感到他和他的家庭可以住在所多玛而不受他们流行风俗的影响。然而他所做选择的结果是悲哀的。上帝禁止以色列人与当地的拜偶像崇拜的人结盟。但他们厌倦了战争，认为与迦南人亲密联合更好，结果受到摩押王伊矶伦（士3:12-14），耶宾的将军西西拉（士4:2），非利士人（士13:1）以及其他人不幸的压迫。

撒上12:10 他们就呼求耶和华说：‘我们离弃耶和华，事奉巴力和亚斯他录，是有罪了。现在求你救我们脱离仇敌的手，我们必事奉你。’ (串)士3:9;10:10|士2:13;3:7|士10:15

†[吕]他们就向永恒主哀呼，说：“我们有罪了，因为我们离弃了永恒主，去服事众巴力和亚斯他录，现在求你援救我们脱离仇敌的手，我们就事奉你。’

†[思]他们就呼求上主说：我们犯了罪，离弃了上主，事奉了巴耳和阿市托勒特诸神；如今求你救我们脱离我们敌人的手，我们愿事奉你。

†[当代]“以色列便再向主呼求，承认自己离弃主、敬拜巴力和亚斯她录的罪过，并向主保证：只要祂拯救他们脱离仇敌，他们就会事奉祂。

†[新译]他们就哀求耶和华，说：‘我们犯了罪，因为我们背弃了耶和华，又去服事巴力和亚斯他录。现在求你救我们脱离仇敌的手，我们就必事奉你。’

†[Wlb]尔祖吁耶和华曰、我干罪戾、因离弃耶和华、事诸巴力、与亚斯他录、今求拯我于敌手、我必事尔、

†[Xdv]于是他们向上主求救说：‘上主啊，我们犯罪了；因为我们背弃你，去拜巴力和亚斯她录。求你救我们脱离仇敌吧！我们一定敬拜你！’

†[Kjv]And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.

†[Nkjv]Then they cried out to the LORD, and said, "We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD and served the Baals and Ashtoreths; but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve You.'

†[BBE]Then crying out to the Lord, they said, We have done evil, because we have been turned away from the Lord, worshipping the Baals and the Astartes: but now, make us safe from those who are against us and we will be your servants.

†[GNT] Then they cried to the Lord for help and said, "We have sinned, because we turned away from you, Lord, and worshiped the idols of Baal and Astarte. Rescue us from our enemies, and we will worship you!'

†[NIV]They cried out to the Lord and said, 'We have sinned; we have forsaken the Lord and served the Baals and the Ashtoreths. But now deliver us from the hands of our enemies, and we will serve you.'

本会注释　　他们就呼求。呼求包括两个部分：（1）承认自己任性而不随从他们的向导。（2）恳求拯救，并承诺今后要忠心侍奉上帝。但是人似乎永远不能从别人的经验中学习。他随心所欲直到几乎太迟了，最后在全然的绝望中，承认自己需要外来的帮助。他认为自己已经学到了教训，永远不会再跌倒了。
　　例如所罗门曾进入了生活的实验室，试验了每一条可能通向幸福的道路。但是通过每一试验他发现只有虚空和心灵的苦恼（传1:14,17；2:11,15,17,23,26等）。最后他得出结论说，敬畏上帝并遵守祂的诫命构成了人的全部义务（传12:13）。但即使有这样的鉴戒在人们面前，他们不久还是忘记了这位智慧人的结论，直到他们亲自经过了同样的道路并心悦诚服地证实人种的是什么，收的也必是什么。

撒上12:11 耶和华就差遣耶路巴力、比但、耶弗他、撒母耳救你们脱离四围仇敌的手，你们才安然居住。 (串)士6:32|代上7:17|士11:1|撒上7:9-13

†[吕]永恒主就差遣耶路巴力、巴拉（传统：比但）、耶弗他、撒母耳来援救你们脱离四围仇敌的手，你们才得以安然居住。

†[思]上主就派耶鲁巴耳、巴辣克、依弗大和叁松，从你们四围敌人的手中拯救了你们，你们得安居。

†[当代]于是，主就打发了耶路巴力、比但、耶弗他和撒母耳来拯救你们，你们才可以得到安居。

†[新译]于是耶和华差遣耶路巴力、比但、耶弗他、撒母耳，救你们脱离四围仇敌的手，你们才可以安然居住。

†[Wlb]耶和华遣耶路巴力、比但、耶弗他、及撒母耳、援尔于四周敌人之手、尔则安居、

†[Xdv]上主差派基甸、巴拉（希伯来文是：比但），和耶弗他，最后派我来救你们脱离仇敌，使你们平安过日子。

†[Kjv]And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe.

†[Nkjv]And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, Bedan, Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you dwelt in safety.

†[BBE]So the Lord sent Jerubbaal and Barak and Jephthah and Samuel and took you out of the power of those who were fighting against you on every side, and made you safe.

†[GNT] And the Lord sent Gideon, Barak, Jephthah, and finally me. Each of us rescued you from your enemies, and you lived in safety.

†[NIV]Then the Lord sent Jerub-Baal, Barak, Jephthah and Samuel, and he delivered you from the hands of your enemies on every side, so that you lived securely.

本会注释　　耶路巴力。基甸的别名，使人想起他摧毁巴力祭坛的时候（见士6:25-32）。
　　比但。没有士师叫“比但。”七十士译本和亚兰文圣经均为“巴拉。”希伯来字母d与字母r，n和字母k很相似（见@创10:4；25:15@注释）。还有人认为“比但”是“押顿”（见士12:13,15），指出这两个名字在希伯来文中比“比但”和“巴拉”更为相似。
　　耶弗他。当亚扪人初次尝试收复基列地时的以色列勇士（士11）。耶弗他告诉亚扪人：他依赖上帝的能力保护以色列拥有这片土地（士11:24），他战胜亚扪人与扫罗后来的胜利同样彻底。
　　撒母耳。七十士译本的亚兰文和路西安修订本为“参孙”而不是“撒母耳”，可能是认为撒母耳太谦虚了不会提到自己的名字。其他学者认为“撒母耳”原是后来一位圣经抄写员附在页边的，最终却被纳入正文了。但虽然由于字母之间的相似性，希伯来名字“巴拉”有可能被误认为“比但”，甚至更有可能“押顿”被误认为“比但”，但是由于字母的差异，“参孙”决不可能被误认为“撒母耳”。

撒上12:12 你们见亚扪人的王拿辖来攻击你们，就对我说：‘我们定要一个王治理我们。’其实耶和华你们的上帝是你们的王。 (串)撒上11:1|撒上8:5,6,19,20;10:19|士8:23撒上8:7

†[吕]你们见亚扪人的王拿辖来攻打你们，你们就对我说：‘不，总要有一个王来管理我们”；其实永恒主你们的上帝乃是你们的王。

†[思]当你们看见阿孟子民的君王纳哈王来攻打你们时，曾对我说：不，我们要有一位君王来管理我们，──虽然上主你们的天主原是你们的君王。

†[当代]“可是你们因为害怕亚扪人的王拿辖，就来见我，要求有一个王来统治你们。你们可知道主你们的上帝不就是你们的君王吗？

†[新译]可是，你们看到亚扪王拿辖来攻击你们，就对我说：‘不行，我们要有一个王来统治我们。’其实，耶和华你们的　神是你们的王。

†[Wlb]尔见亚扪王拿辖来攻尔、则谓我曰、必有一王治我、是时尔上帝耶和华为尔之王、

†[Xdv]但你们看见亚扪的拿辖王攻击你们，就弃绝上主作你们的王，要求我说：‘我们要一个王来治理我们。’

†[Kjv]And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God was your king.

†[Nkjv]And when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites came against you, you said to me, "No, but a king shall reign over us,' when the LORD your God was your king.

†[BBE]And when you saw that Nahash, the king of the Ammonites, was coming against you, you said to me, No more of this; we will have a king for our ruler: when the Lord your God was your king.

†[GNT] But when you saw that King Nahash of Ammon was about to attack you, you rejected the Lord as your king and said to me, "We want a king to rule us.'

†[NIV]But when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites was moving against you, you said to me, 'No, we want a king to rule over us'-even though the Lord your God was your king.

撒上12:13 现在，你们所求所选的王在这里。看哪，耶和华已经为你们立王了。 (串)撒上10:24|本章1何13:11

†[吕]看哪，现在你们所拣选所求要的王在这里呢；看哪，永恒主已经立了一个王来管理你们。

†[思]现今，看，你们所拣选，所要求的君王；看，上主立了一位君王管理你们。

†[当代]好吧，他就是你们所求所选的王。主已经答应你们的请求了。

†[新译]现在，你们所拣选、所要求的王在这里。看哪！耶和华已经立了一个王统治你们。

†[Wlb]今观尔曹所求所简之王、耶和华立王治尔、

†[Xdv]“现在，你们所选立的王在这里。你们要一个王；上主已经给你们了。

†[Kjv]Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.

†[Nkjv]"Now therefore, here is the king whom you have chosen and whom you have desired. And take note, the LORD has set a king over you.

†[BBE]Here, then, is the king marked out by you: the Lord has put a king over you.

†[GNT] "Now here is the king you chose; you asked for him, and now the Lord has given him to you.

†[NIV]Now here is the king you have chosen, the one you asked for; see, the Lord has set a king over you.

撒上12:14 你们若敬畏耶和华，事奉他，听从他的话，不违背他的命令，你们和治理你们的王也都顺从耶和华你们的上帝就好了。 (串)申6:2书24:14本章24

†[吕]你们若敬畏永恒主，事奉他，听他的声音，不违背他所吩咐的，并且不但你们、连那管理你们、的王、也都跟从着永恒主你们的上帝，那就好了。

†[思]若是你们敬畏上主，事奉上主，听从他的话，不背叛上主的命令；若是你们和管理你们的君王，随从上主你们的天主，便可生存。

†[当代]“如果你们敬畏主、事奉祂，听从祂的吩咐，不去违抗祂的诫命，你们和你们的王都愿意跟从祂，那么一切都会顺利。

†[新译]如果你们敬畏耶和华，事奉他，听从他的话，不违背他的命令，你们和统治你们的王就必跟从耶和华你们的　神。

†[Wlb]如尔寅畏耶和华、而服事之、听从其言、不违其命、且与治尔之王、顺从尔上帝耶和华、则善矣、

†[Xdv]你们若敬畏上主──你们的上帝，事奉他，听从他，遵守他的诫命；你们和你们的王若对他忠诚；你们就会平安无事。

†[Kjv]If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:

†[Nkjv]If you fear the LORD and serve Him and obey His voice, and do not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then both you and the king who reigns over you will continue following the LORD your God.

†[BBE]If in the fear of the Lord you are his servants, hearing his voice and not going against the orders of the Lord, but being true to the Lord your God, you and the king ruling over you, then all will be well:

†[GNT] All will go well with you if you honor the Lord your God, serve him, listen to him, and obey his commands, and if you and your king follow him.

†[NIV]If you fear the Lord and serve and obey him and do not rebel against his commands, and if both you and the king who reigns over you follow the Lord your God-good!

本会注释　　你们若敬畏耶和华。以色列人因胜利而欣喜若狂，没有考虑前途，也有想到上帝在过去的保护引导，就立扫罗为王。正如亚当凭着自己的自由选择权，选择了一种违背上帝旨意的人生道路，现在以色列人的孤注一掷也将影响整个民族今后的生活。但上帝向以色列军队保证，如果他们承认自己对祂的依赖，接受祂的忠告，照祂的吩咐而行，祂就必给他们神圣的指导。

撒上12:15 倘若不听从耶和华的话，违背他的命令，耶和华的手必攻击你们，象从前攻击你们列祖一样。 (串)利26:14-16申28:15,16|撒上5:9

†[吕]倘若你们不听永恒主的声音，又违背他所吩咐的，那么永恒主的手就要攻击你们和你们的王（传统：列祖）了。

†[思]倘若你们不听从上主的话，背叛上主的命令，上主的手必要与你们和你们的君王作对。

†[当代]不过，如果你们违抗主的诫命，不听从祂的话，祂就会像从前击打你们的祖先一样击打你们。

†[新译]但是，如果你们不听从耶和华的话，违背他的命令，耶和华的手就必攻击你们，好像攻击你们的列祖一样。

†[Wlb]如弗听从耶和华之言、背逆其命、则耶和华之手必敌尔、如昔敌尔祖然、

†[Xdv]但是，你们若不听从上主，不遵守他的诫命，他就要敌对你们和你们的王（希伯来文是：你们的祖先）。

†[Kjv]But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers.

†[Nkjv]However, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then the hand of the LORD will be against you, as it was against your fathers.

†[BBE]But if you do not give ear to the voice of the Lord, but go against his orders, then the hand of the Lord will be against you and against your king for your destruction, as it was against your fathers.

†[GNT] But if you do not listen to the Lord but disobey his commands, he will be against you and your king.

†[NIV]But if you do not obey the Lord , and if you rebel against his commands, his hand will be against you, as it was against your fathers.

本会注释　　吉甲。地点尚未确定。现代的传统认为是在《旧约》的耶利哥东南4.8公里的en-Nitla，但更可能是在东北2公处的Khirbet el-Mefjer。根据书15:7，它位于亚割谷以北，所以在属于便雅悯的领土内。在攻占巴勒斯坦的六年战争期间，它是以色列的总部，但是征服了示罗以后，会幕就搬到那里去了（书18:1）。不过吉甲仍被认为是一个非常神圣的地方。撒母耳在他的年巡中访问过它（撒上7:16）。它曾是一个专门用于献祭的地方（撒上13:8；15:21等）。但后来可能成为偶像崇拜的地方（见本卷注释第850页）。
　　撒母耳号召以色列人到吉甲重建王国；这里充满上帝神奇作为的记忆。他无疑在这里向他们重述了过去数百年中天父的慈爱眷顾和恒久忍耐。要是他们满足于上帝起初的施政计划，那就会好的多了。但由于他们渴望一个王，所以上帝就应许将祂的灵赐给这位新王，就象祂曾赐给士师们一样。虽然他们拒绝了祂，他们还是有上帝会依然与他们同在的丰富见证。通过建立以世袭制为基础的继位体系，以色列向许多他们在士师制下从未遇到的问题与危险打开了大门。但是通过撒母耳，上帝确认了祂永远的爱与忠诚，并应许用他们所享受过的与过去数百年同样热切的保护环绕他们。

本会注释　　倘若不听从。以色列在要求立王的事上已经违背了上帝。他们在过去经常背叛。但他们每当求告耶和华时，就立即得到帮助。
　　耶和华的手。他们不能说上帝的手一直是攻击他们的。祂曾一再保护并拯救他们，即使在他们因自私和愚昧一次次转离祂的时候。祂设法引导他们个人自愿地回应祂的爱。没有一个民族是全体得救的，但每一个人不管环境如何，都必须亲自做出决定。除此之外，他们还要认识什么呢？

撒上12:16 现在你们要站住，看耶和华在你们眼前要行一件大事。 (串)出14:13

†[吕]现在你们要站住，看永恒主在你们眼前所要行的这一件大事。

†[思]现今你们前来，看上主在你们眼前要作的这伟大的奇事。

†[当代]你们站著留心观看，主现在就要在你们面前行一件奇事。

†[新译]现在你们要站着，看耶和华在你们眼前将要施行的这件大事。

†[Wlb]今当屹立、观耶和华于尔目前、所行之大事、

†[Xdv]现在，你们别动！你们将看见上主要做的大事。

†[Kjv]Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.

†[Nkjv]"Now therefore, stand and see this great thing which the LORD will do before your eyes:

†[BBE]Now keep where you are and see this great thing which the Lord will do before your eyes.

†[GNT] So then, stand where you are, and you will see the great thing which the Lord is going to do.

†[NIV]Now then, stand still and see this great thing the Lord is about to do before your eyes!

撒上12:17 这不是割麦子的时候吗？我求告耶和华，他必打雷降雨，使你们又知道又看出，你们求立王的事是在耶和华面前犯大罪了。” (串)箴26:1

†[吕]今日不是收割麦子的时候么？我要呼求永恒主打雷下雨，那么你们就可以知道，可以看出：你们所行的坏事──那求立王的事──在永恒主看来、是多么大的坏事。”

†[思]现今不是收割麦子的季节吗？但是我要呼求上主打雷下雨，使你们明白，也看出：你们要求一位君王，是行了上主眼中多么可恶的事。”

†[当代]你们都知道在收割麦子的时候，是不会下雨的。现在，我要向主祷告，求祂今天就降下雷雨，好让你们知道这样求立一个王的罪过有多深重。”

†[新译]现今不是收割麦子的时候吗？我要向耶和华呼求，他就会打雷降雨，你们就可以知道，又可以看见，你们为自己要求立王的事，在耶和华看来，是行了极大的恶事。”

†[Wlb]今非刈麦之时乎、我吁耶和华、彼将发雷降雨、令尔明知尔求立王、乃为大恶于耶和华前、

†[Xdv]现在不是旱季吗？可是我要祷告，上主就会使天打雷下雨。你们看到这情景就知道，你们向上主要求立王是犯大罪，冒犯他。”

†[Kjv]Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.

†[Nkjv]Is today not the wheat harvest? I will call to the LORD, and He will send thunder and rain, that you may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking a king for yourselves."

†[BBE]Is it not now the time of the grain cutting? My cry will go up to the Lord and he will send thunder and rain: so that you may see and be conscious of your great sin which you have done in the eyes of the Lord in desiring a king for yourselves.

†[GNT] It's the dry season, isn't it? But I will pray, and the Lord will send thunder and rain. When this happens, you will realize that you committed a great sin against the Lord when you asked him for a king."

†[NIV]Is it not wheat harvest now? I will call upon the Lord to send thunder and rain. And you will realize what an evil thing you did in the eyes of the Lord when you asked for a king."

本会注释　　打雷降雨。上帝给以色列最深印象的证据莫过于在收割麦子的时候降雨了（五月或六月；见本卷注释第108,110页）。那时的降雨会令人吃惊。在巴勒斯坦，春雨通常在逾越节前结束，旱季随即开始，到秋季种植小麦和大麦前才再次降雨。
　　使你们知道。他们应该知道两点：（1）他们要求立王，就已在耶和华面前犯罪。（2）上帝爱他们，永远不会丢弃他们。那天他们在已有的许多证据上再加上一个纪念，表明浪子回头在父家是很受欢迎的。

撒上12:18 于是撒母耳求告耶和华，耶和华就在这日打雷降雨，众民便甚惧怕耶和华和撒母耳。 (串)撒下22:14诗18:13|拉10:9雅5:18

†[吕]于是撒母耳呼求永恒主，永恒主就在那一天打雷下雨；众民便非常敬畏永恒主和撒母耳。

†[思]撒慕尔呼吁了上主，上主就在那天打雷下雨；全民众对上主和撒慕尔很是害怕，

†[当代]于是撒母耳向主呼求，主便在当天降下雷雨，民众都因此非常害怕主和撒母耳。

†[新译]于是撒母耳向耶和华呼求，耶和华就在那天打雷降雨，众民就非常惧怕耶和华和撒母耳。

†[Wlb]撒母耳遂吁耶和华、是日耶和华发雷降雨、众民甚畏耶和华、与撒母耳、

†[Xdv]于是，塞缪尔祈求上主，当天，上主使天打雷下雨。人民都惧怕上主和塞缪尔；

†[Kjv]So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.

†[Nkjv]So Samuel called to the LORD, and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day; and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.

†[BBE]So Samuel made prayer to the Lord; and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people were in fear of the Lord and of Samuel.

†[GNT] So Samuel prayed, and on that same day the Lord sent thunder and rain. Then all the people became afraid of the Lord and of Samuel,

†[NIV]Then Samuel called upon the Lord , and that same day the Lord sent thunder and rain. So all the people stood in awe of the Lord and of Samuel.

撒上12:19 众民对撒母耳说：“求你为仆人们祷告耶和华你的上帝，免得我们死亡，因为我们求立王的事正是罪上加罪了。” (串)本章23出9:28;10:17耶15:1

†[吕]众民对撒母耳说：“请为仆人们祷告永恒主你的上帝，免得我们死亡，因为求立王的事、正是在我们的一切罪上加了一件坏事。”

†[思]都对撒慕尔说：“你为你的仆人们转求上主你的天主，别使我们死了，因为在我们一切罪恶之上，又加了一个为我们要求君王的罪过。”

†[当代]他们来请求撒母耳说：“为我们祈祷吧！要不然我们都会死掉啊！因为我们这样求立一个王，已经为自己加添罪过了。”

†[新译]众民对撒母耳说：“求你为仆人向耶和华你的　神祷告，免得我们死亡，因为我们为自己要求立王的事，是在我们的一切罪上又增加了这一件恶事。”

†[Wlb]告撒母耳曰、尔为仆祈尔上帝耶和华、免我死亡、我之求王、乃加罪于罪也、

†[Xdv]他们对塞缪尔说：“请为我们向上主──你的上帝祷告，免得我们死。现在我们知道，我们要求立王是罪上加罪。”

†[Kjv]And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.

†[Nkjv]And all the people said to Samuel, "Pray for your servants to the LORD your God, that we may not die; for we have added to all our sins the evil of asking a king for ourselves."

†[BBE]And all the people said to Samuel, Make prayer for us to the Lord your God so that death may not overtake us: for in addition to all our sins we have done this evil, in desiring a king.

†[GNT] and they said to Samuel, "Please, sir, pray to the Lord your God for us, so that we won't die. We now realize that, besides all our other sins, we have sinned by asking for a king."

†[NIV]The people all said to Samuel, "Pray to the Lord your God for your servants so that we will not die, for we have added to all our other sins the evil of asking for a king."

撒上12:20 撒母耳对百姓说：“不要惧怕！你们虽然行了这恶，却不要偏离耶和华，只要尽心事奉他。 (串)申11:16

†[吕]撒母耳对人民说：“不要惧怕；你们固然行了这一切坏事了，只是不可偏离永恒主，总要尽心事奉他；

†[思]撒慕尔对民众说：“你们不必害怕；你们固然犯了这一切罪过，但决不要远离上主，反而要全心事奉上主。

†[当代]撒母耳向他们说：“不要害怕，你们虽然是做错了，但仍要继续真诚地敬拜主，切不可离开祂。

†[新译]撒母耳对人民说：“不要惧怕！虽然你们行了这一切恶事，只是不可偏离不跟随耶和华，总要一心事奉他。

†[Wlb]撒母耳曰、毋畏、汝诚行此诸恶、然勿转离不从耶和华、惟尽心服事之、

†[Xdv]塞缪尔说：“不要怕！虽然你们做了这恶事，但不可离开上主，反要专心事奉他。

†[Kjv]And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;

†[Nkjv]Then Samuel said to the people, "Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart.

†[BBE]Then Samuel said to the people, Have no fear: truly you have done evil, but do not be turned away from the Lord; be his servants with all your heart;

†[GNT] "Don't be afraid," Samuel answered. "Even though you have done such an evil thing, do not turn away from the Lord, but serve him with all your heart.

†[NIV]Do not be afraid," Samuel replied. "You have done all this evil; yet do not turn away from the Lord , but serve the Lord with all your heart.

本会注释　　尽心。作上帝的仆人是因爱而产生的自愿顺服。人会为爱去做在其他情况下不会做的事情。撒母耳爱耶和华，他的侍奉是一种乐意与他的主在一起的服侍。当百姓目睹撒母耳与耶和华的这种友谊时，他们心中也会产生同样的愿望。

撒上12:21 若偏离耶和华去顺从那不能救人的虚神是无益的。 (串)耶16:19哈2:18

†[吕]不可偏向无益而不能援救的虚空神，因为他们是虚空的。

†[思]你们不要追求不能援助，也不能施救的虚无邪神，因为他们只是“虚无”而已。

†[当代]其他的神不能帮助你们，顺从他们是没有益处的。

†[新译]不可偏离耶和华，去追随那些空虚的偶像，因为它们本是空虚的，对人没有什么益处，也不能救人。

†[Wlb]其勿偏离、从事虚伪、不能益尔、不能救尔之物、以其虚伪故也、

†[Xdv]不要追随假神（希伯来文是：追随假神以后）；他们不能帮助你们，援救你们，因为他们是假的。

†[Kjv]And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.

†[Nkjv]And do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing.

†[BBE]And do not go from the right way turning to those false gods in which there is no profit and no salvation, for they are false.

†[GNT] Don't go after false gods; they cannot help you or save you, for they are not real.

†[NIV]Do not turn away after useless idols. They can do you no good, nor can they rescue you, because they are useless.

本会注释　　不要偏离。真正的爱不是静止的，而是不断前进的。上帝准备向以色列显示祂持续的爱。当他们以自我为中心并忘记祂时，祂就心里悲伤。祂坚定不移地爱人，并邀请他以献身侍奉来回报这种爱。

撒上12:22 耶和华既喜悦选你们作他的子民，就必因他的大名不撇弃你们。 (串)申7:7;14:2彼前2:9|书7:9诗106:8耶14:21结20:9,14,22|王上6:13;8:57诗94:14罗11:1,2

†[吕]永恒主为了他至大之名的缘故、必不丢弃他的人民，因为永恒主喜欢使你们做属他的子民。

†[思]上主为了自己的大名，决不抛弃自己的百姓，因为上主喜欢你们作他的百姓。

†[当代]主决不会丢弃祂的选民，使祂的大名受到羞辱，祂喜欢你们作祂的选民。

†[新译]耶和华为了自己的大名的缘故，必不丢弃他的子民，因为他喜欢使你们作他的子民。

†[Wlb]耶和华既喜立尔为己民、必因其大名、不汝离弃、

†[Xdv]上主会守住他的诺言，绝不丢弃你们，因为他决定要你们作他自己的子民。

†[Kjv]For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.

†[Nkjv]For the LORD will not forsake His people, for His great name's sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you His people.

†[BBE]For the Lord will not give his people up, because of the honour of his name; for it was the Lord's pleasure to make of you a people for himself.

†[GNT] The Lord has made a solemn promise, and he will not abandon you, for he has decided to make you his own people.

†[NIV]For the sake of his great name the Lord will not reject his people, because the Lord was pleased to make you his own.

撒上12:23 至于我，断不停止为你们祷告，以致得罪耶和华。我必以善道正路指教你们。 (串)本章19|王上8:36代下6:27诗27:11箴4:11

†[吕]至于我呢，我绝不停止为你们祷告、而犯罪得罪永恒主；我总要将好而对的道路指教你们。

†[思]我也决不愿得罪上主，停止为你们祈祷，或停止教训你们行善道，走正路。

†[当代]“如果我不再为你们祈祷，我就会得罪主，我决不会这样做。我会继续教导你们什么是良好的和正确的。

†[新译]至于我，我决不停止为你们祷告，以致得罪耶和华；我要把善道正路教导你们。

†[Wlb]若我、决不止息为尔祈祷、而获罪于耶和华、必以善道正途训尔、

†[Xdv]至于我，上主要我不断地为你们祷告，这样我才不至于得罪他。我会教导你们什么是应当行的善道正路。

†[Kjv]Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:

†[Nkjv]Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and the right way.

†[BBE]And as for me, never will I go against the orders of the Lord by giving up my prayers for you: but I will go on teaching you the good and right way.

†[GNT] As for me, the Lord forbid that I should sin against him by no longer praying for you. Instead, I will teach you what is good and right for you to do.

†[NIV]As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right.

本会注释　　我必以善道指教你们。撒母耳向百姓保证，他没有怨恨他们的选择。他会献身在上帝的事上进一步指教他们。虽然他不再有施政的责任，因他们已任命了一个王，但是作为先知，他对他们来说依然是上帝的代表。撒母耳感觉到将来的危险。他知道要是没有圣灵的指导，人去做正确的事情是不可能的。他开始认识到他作为先知的担子可能会比过去更重，然而他决心不让任何人把指责的矛头对准他，说他没有与以色列同命运，共患难的兴衰。他作为士师曾一直忠于他们；现在可以说他们已经降了他的职，但他会证明他对他们的爱象上帝对他们的爱一样是不改变的。

撒上12:24 只要你们敬畏耶和华，诚诚实实地尽心事奉他，想念他向你们所行的事何等大。 (串)本章14传12:13|申10:21诗126:2,3

†[吕]你们只要敬畏永恒主，忠诚尽心地事奉他，看明他在你们中间所行何等大的事。

†[思]你们只该敬畏上主，全心忠诚事奉上主，因为你们看见了，他为你们作的，是何等伟大的事。

†[当代]“你们要信靠主，全心全意敬拜祂，要记念祂为你们所做的一切何等伟大。

†[新译]你们只要敬畏耶和华，诚实全心事奉他，因为你们已经看过他为你们所作的是何等大的事。

†[Wlb]惟当寅畏耶和华、专诚尽心服事之、念其为尔所行之大事、

†[Xdv]要敬畏上主，忠诚尽心地事奉他；要记住他为你们做的大事。

†[Kjv]Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.

†[Nkjv]Only fear the LORD, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.

†[BBE]Only go in the fear of the Lord, and be his true servants with all your heart, keeping in mind what great things he has done for you.

†[GNT] Obey the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. Remember the great things he has done for you.

†[NIV]But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.

本会注释　　想念。现今人最大的需要之一就是默想的时间——默想上帝无限的恩慈和祂关怀指导的证据。

撒上12:25 你们若仍然作恶，你们和你们的王必一同灭亡。” (串)申28:36|民16:26书24:20

†[吕]倘若你们固执作坏事，那么连你们带你们的王就都会被扫灭了。”

†[思]假使你们仍固执于恶，你们和你们的君王都必要丧亡。”

†[当代]可是，如果你们仍然继续犯罪，你们和你们的王都要一并灭亡。”

†[新译]如果你们继续行恶，你们和你们的王就必一同灭亡。”

†[Wlb]如尔仍行恶、则尔与尔之王、俱必灭亡、

†[Xdv]如果你们一再犯罪，你们和你们的王都会灭亡。”

†[Kjv]But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.

†[Nkjv]But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king."

†[BBE]But if you still do evil, destruction will overtake you and your king.

†[GNT] But if you continue to sin, you and your king will be destroyed."

†[NIV]Yet if you persist in doing evil, both you and your king will be swept away."
