撒母耳记上第20章

《圣经》撒母耳记上-第20章

撒上20:1 大卫从拉玛的拿约逃跑，来到约拿单那里，对他说：“我做了什么？有什么罪孽呢？在你父亲面前犯了什么罪，他竟寻索我的性命呢？” (串)撒上1:19;19:18,19,23

†[吕]大卫从拉玛的拿约逃跑而来，在约拿单面前说：“我作了什么？我有什么愆？在你父亲面前我犯的什么罪，他竟寻索我性命呢？”

†[思]达味由辣玛纳逃走，去见约纳堂说：“我作了什么，有什么过错，哪得了你父亲，他竟要害我的性命？”

†[当代]大卫由拉玛的拿约逃出来，找到约拿单，就问他说：“我做错了什么事得罪了你的父亲呢？他为什么总要追杀我呢？”

†[新译]大卫从拉玛的拿约逃走，来见约拿单，说：“我作了什么？我有什么罪孽？我在你父亲面前犯了什么罪，他竟寻索我的性命呢？”

†[Wlb]大卫自拉玛之拿约遁、诣约拿单、言曰、我何所为、有何过恶、干何罪戾于尔父前、致索我命、

†[Xdv]大卫从拉玛的拿约逃去见乔纳单，对他说：“我做了什么？犯了什么罪？做了什么对不起你父亲的事，使他要杀我呢？”

†[Kjv]And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?

†[Nkjv]Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and went and said to Jonathan, "What have I done? What is my iniquity, and what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?"

†[BBE]And David went in flight from Naioth in Ramah and came to Jonathan and said, What have I done? What is my crime and my sin against your father that he is attempting to take my life?

†[GNT] Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah and went to Jonathan. "What have I done?" he asked. "What crime have I committed? What wrong have I done to your father to make him want to kill me?"

†[NIV]Then David fled from Naioth at Ramah and went to Jonathan and asked, "What have I done? What is my crime? How have I wronged your father, that he is trying to take my life?"

本会注释　　大卫……逃跑。大卫显然是逃到基比亚与约拿单商议。他不敢回到扫罗所在的地方。但是在圣灵的约束之下，扫罗留在拉玛一昼一夜（见撒上19:23,24）。这一耽搁给大卫一个机会找到约拿单并从他那里得知扫罗的态度。没有提到大卫这次有没有去看望他的妻子。他确信约拿单会保守秘密，但他对米甲不是那么有把握。见本卷注释556页地图。
　　我有什么罪孽。“罪孽”与“罪”不是同义词重复。`awon（“罪孽”来自词根`awah（“出于乖僻的心思”）。`Awon常被理解为罪的行为与刑罚。chatta'ah（“罪”）来自词根chata'（“没达到目的”）。大卫在问：“我有什么罪行？我对王或对国家的态度有什么乖僻不正当的地方？我难道没有在最具考验性的环境中为扫罗争战吗？我难道没有为以色列英勇服务，与她的仇敌争战吗？我的动机和愿望难道不是一直给我所爱的百姓带来成功吗？我的宗旨在什么地方没有达到目的而失败了呢？”

撒上20:2 约拿单回答说：“断然不是！你必不至死。我父做事，无论大小，没有不叫我知道的。怎么独有这事隐瞒我呢？决不如此。”

†[吕]约拿单对他说：“你绝对不至于死：我父亲作的、无论大小事，没有不向我披露的；为什么这事我父亲偏要对我隐瞒呢？决无此理。”

†[思]约纳堂回答他说：“决没有这回事，你决死不了。看，我父亲无论作什么大事小事，没有不告诉我的；为什么我父亲偏要对我隐瞒这事呢？决不会的！”

†[当代]约拿单却回答说：“那不是真的！他不会杀你的，因为无论大小的事情，他都一定会先告诉我的；他是不会瞒著我的。”

†[新译]约拿单对他说：“绝对没有这事，你必不会死。我父亲作事，无论大小，没有不让我知道的，为什么这事他偏要隐瞒我呢？不会这样的。”

†[Wlb]约拿单曰、不然、尔必不死、我父所为、事之巨细、无不示我、岂独隐此于我、无是事也、

†[Xdv]乔纳单说：“你绝不至于死！我父亲无论什么事，不管重要不重要，都告诉我。这事他不会瞒着我，绝对不会。”

†[Kjv]And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.

†[Nkjv]So Jonathan said to him, "By no means! You shall not die! Indeed, my father will do nothing either great or small without first telling me. And why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so!"

†[BBE]And he said to him, Far be the thought: you will not be put to death: see, my father does nothing, great or small, without giving me word of it: would he keep this secret from me? It is not so.

†[GNT] Jonathan answered, "God forbid that you should die! My father tells me everything he does, important or not, and he would not hide this from me. It just isn't so!"

†[NIV]Never!" Jonathan replied. "You are not going to die! Look, my father doesn't do anything, great or small, without confiding in me. Why would he hide this from me? It's not so!"

本会注释　　断然不是。chalilah，是表示憎恶、抗议的感叹词。参第9节的“断无此事”。约拿单似乎确信他父亲的行为是由于精神错乱。他向大卫保证扫罗不会在背地里做什么事，显然是根据先前扫罗曾与约拿单和他的官员们说过要杀大卫的事（撒上19:1）。约拿单那时尚能与扫罗讲理并使他安静，所以他确信现在也必有解决的办法。但是大卫既然已经在拉玛的学校中见到扫罗的态度，就没有被说服。

撒上20:3 大卫又起誓说：“你父亲准知我在你眼前蒙恩。他心里说，不如不叫约拿单知道，恐怕他愁烦。我指着永生的耶和华，又敢在你面前起誓，我离死不过一步。” (串)创33:15|得3:13本章21撒上1:26;25:26王下2:2,4,6;4:30

†[吕]大卫回答（传统：又起誓）说：“你父亲准知道你跟我好；故此他心里说：‘不如不叫约拿单知道这事，恐怕他担忧。’虽然如此，我指着永活的永恒主、也指着你的性命来起誓：我与死之间、只有一步之隔罢了。”

†[思]达味却对他说：“你父亲明知我在你眼得宠，所以他想：不要要约纳堂知道这事，免得他悲伤。总之，我指着永生的上主敢在你面前发誓：我与死之间只差一步！”

†[当代]大卫说：“你当然不知道了！你父亲知道我们的交情，为了不使你伤心，就瞒著你了；但我敢指著主起誓，我跟死亡的距离实在不足一步啊！”

†[新译]大卫再起誓说：“你父亲一定知道我在你眼中蒙恩，就心里想：‘不要让约拿单知道这事，免得他伤心。’可是，我指着永活的耶和华，又指着你的性命起誓，我离死只差一步。”

†[Wlb]大卫誓曰、尔父明知我蒙尔恩、故曰、勿令约拿单知之、恐其忧戚、然我指维生之耶和华、及尔生命而誓、我离死地、仅一步耳、

†[Xdv]可是大卫又发誓说：“你父亲知道你对我那么好，他绝不会把他的计划告诉你，因为他怕你伤心。我指着永生上帝向你发誓：死亡就在我眼前！”

†[Kjv]And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and

†[Nkjv]Then David took an oath again, and said, "Your father certainly knows that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said, "Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.' But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step betw

†[BBE]But David took his oath again and said, Your father sees that I am dear to you; so he says to himself, Let Jonathan have no idea of this, for it will be a grief to him; but as the Lord is living, and as your soul is living, there is only a step between me

†[GNT] But David answered, "Your father knows very well how much you like me, and he has decided not to let you know what he plans to do, because you would be deeply hurt. I swear to you by the living Lord that I am only a step away from death!"

†[NIV]But David took an oath and said, "Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said to himself, 'Jonathan must not know this or he will be grieved.' Yet as surely as the Lord lives and as you live, there is only a step betw

本会注释　　大卫起誓。就是他通过起誓证明他知道自己所说的话。大卫让约拿单注意到扫罗知道他们亲密的友谊。尽管约拿单过去能与他的父亲讲理，大卫现在也害怕扫罗会秘密地继续他邪恶的计划，不与任何人商量这件事，也不告诉他自己的儿子。也许在拉玛的经验之前约拿单没有见到他的父亲，不知道情况突然恶化了。
　　一步。pesa`。该词在《旧约》中只出现在这里。它是口语化的一个例子，给叙述增添了色彩，增强了故事的真实性。
　　大卫曾有几个小时从惊恐中恢复，现在他能清楚地思考并相应地作出计划了。他在介绍他要得到必要的信息好决定将来行动的计划时，表现出了真正的领导能力。

撒上20:4 约拿单对大卫说：“你心里所求的，我必为你成就。”

†[吕]约拿单对大卫说：“你心里切愿（传统：说）着什么？我总要为你作成。”

†[思]约纳堂对达味说：“你愿意我为你作什么？”

†[当代]约拿单恳切地说：“告诉我，我可以怎样帮助你呢？”

†[新译]约拿单对大卫说：“你心里想要什么，我必为你作成。”

†[Wlb]约拿单曰、尔心所欲、我必为尔行之、

†[Xdv]乔纳单说：“你要我做什么，我绝不推辞。”

†[Kjv]Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.

†[Nkjv]So Jonathan said to David, "Whatever you yourself desire, I will do it for you."

†[BBE]Then Jonathan said to David, Whatever your desire is, I will do it for you.

†[GNT] Jonathan said, "I'll do anything you want."

†[NIV]Jonathan said to David, "Whatever you want me to do, I'll do for you."

撒上20:5 大卫对约拿单说：“明日是初一，我当与王同席，求你容我去藏在田野，直到第三日晚上。 (串)本章18民10:10;28:11|撒上19:2,3

†[吕]大卫对约拿单说：“看哪，明天是初一，我不（传统：本该）和王一同坐席吃饭；但是求你容我去藏在田野里、到晚上（传统：到第三天晚上）。

†[思]达味回答约纳堂说：“看，明天是月朔，我原该和君王同席吃饭，但你让我走，藏在田野间，直到第叁丌晚上。

†[当代]大卫回答说：“明天是朔日，从前我是跟你父亲一起过节的；但明天我要躲到田间，直到第三天的晚上。

†[新译]大卫就对约拿单说：“你看，明天是初一，我本该与王一同坐席。但是，求你容我去藏在田里，直到后天晚上。

†[Wlb]大卫曰、明日月朔、我当侍王宴、容我匿于田、越至三日之夕、

†[Xdv]大卫回答：“明天是初一，我本该跟王一起吃饭，如果你认为妥当的话，请让我去藏在田里，等到后天晚上。

†[Kjv]And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.

†[Nkjv]And David said to Jonathan, "Indeed tomorrow is the New Moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king to eat. But let me go, that I may hide in the field until the third day at evening.

†[BBE]And David said to Jonathan, Tomorrow is the new moon, and I will not be seated with the king at his table: but let me go to a safe place in the country till the evening.

†[GNT] "Tomorrow is the New Moon Festival," David replied, "and I am supposed to eat with the king. But if it's all right with you, I will go and hide in the fields until the evening of the day after tomorrow.

†[NIV]So David said, "Look, tomorrow is the New Moon festival, and I am supposed to dine with the king; but let me go and hide in the field until the evening of the day after tomorrow.

本会注释　　初一。犹太人与周围许多邻邦一样遵守阴历，月初第一天开始于新月的月牙出现的那个晚上。每月的第一天，叫作“月朔”，是特别欢庆的一天，包括奉献（民28:11-15）并在献祭时吹号（民10:10）。在当时，这种节日既是宗族活动也是社会活动。大卫作为扫罗的女婿是应该参加的。圣经并没有说是那一年的哪个月份。然而，因为在伯利恒也有这种节日被称作“年祭”（撒上20:6），所以这也许是个年度节日，很可能是新年的节日，在秋天的提市黎月，即七月初一日，与现代的犹太历一样（见本卷注释第108页）。这样的集会是经所有支派在中央集会上核准的（申12:5-16）。在以利的日子，是在示罗举行的。后来在列王时代是在耶路撒冷举行的。在约柜从示罗被移走后，很可能每个地区都有自己的集会。因而同类的节日盛宴在伯利恒或在基比亚都可以举行。

撒上20:6 你父亲若见我不在席上，你就说：‘大卫切求我许他回本城伯利恒去，因为他全家在那里献年祭。’ (串)撒上16:4本章28|撒上9:12

†[吕]你父亲若察觉我不在席上，那么你就说：‘大卫恳切求我许他跑回他本城伯利恒去；因为在那里他全家有献年祭的事。’

†[思]如果你父亲发觉我不在，你应说：达味恳求我，让他逃回白冷本城，因为在那全族举行年祭。

†[当代]如果你父亲问起我，你就说我向你请假，你准了我回故乡伯利恒与我父家一同献年祭去了。

†[新译]如果你父亲不见我在座，你就说：‘大卫恳求我让他赶回他的本城伯利恒去，因为他全家在那里有献年祭的事。’

†[Wlb]如尔父见我不在、可言大卫切请于我、许其趋归伯利恒故邑、盖其全家献岁祭于彼、

†[Xdv]假使你父亲注意到我不在餐桌上，请你报告他：我向你请假赶回伯利恒老家，因为这正是我们全家在那里献年祭的时候。

†[Kjv]If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.

†[Nkjv]If your father misses me at all, then say, "David earnestly asked permission of me that he might run over to Bethlehem, his city, for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.'

†[BBE]And if your father takes note of the fact that I am away, say, David made a request to me for himself that he might go to Beth-lehem, to his town: for it is the time when his family make their offering year by year.

†[GNT] If your father notices that I am not at the table, tell him that I begged your permission to hurry home to Bethlehem, since it's the time for the annual sacrifice there for my whole family.

†[NIV]If your father misses me at all, tell him, 'David earnestly asked my permission to hurry to Bethlehem, his hometown, because an annual sacrifice is being made there for his whole clan.'

本会注释　　因为他全家。或“因为他的氏族。”以色列分为12支派。这些支派又分为氏族（见出6:14-30）。在便雅悯和犹大支派，一个氏族可能在基比亚聚会而另一个氏族可能在伯利恒聚会。
　　有人曾质疑大卫的诚实，因他要约拿单告诉扫罗他想访问家乡。他们认为大卫没有计划去伯利恒。认真查考上下文并不能确定这一论点。圣经的叙述经常省略许多细节，如果给出这些细节的话，画面就清晰了。这里提供的简要记载给人的印象是整件事只是要试验扫罗的态度。但是约拿单对他父亲讲的话（28,29节）强烈暗示这两个朋友曾谈论过整件事，比这里记录要多。看来大卫确实计划去见他的哥哥们，而且他可能短暂访问了伯利恒（见《先祖与先知》第654,655页）。但在扫罗可能打发人去找他之前，他就回来藏在田野，等候来自约拿单关于扫罗的反应的消息。

撒上20:7 你父亲若说好，仆人就平安了；他若发怒，你就知道他决意要害我。 (串)本章33斯7:7

†[吕]你父亲若这样说：‘好！’仆人就可以平安无事了；他若大大发怒，你就知道他决定要害我了。

†[思]他若说：好！你的仆人就平安无事；他若勃然大怒，你就该知道：他已决意行恶。

†[当代]如果他不反对，那么，一切就平安了；但如果他发怒，那就是他要杀我了。

†[新译]如果你父亲这样说：‘好！’那么仆人就平安无事了；如果他大大发怒，你就知道，他决意要害我了。

†[Wlb]如尔父言善、则尔仆得安、如其震怒、可知其决意害我、

†[Xdv]如果他说：‘好吧！’那我就安全了；如果他生气，你就知道他是决心要害我了。

†[Kjv]If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.

†[Nkjv]If he says thus: "It is well,' your servant will be safe. But if he is very angry, be sure that evil is determined by him.

†[BBE]If he says, It is well, your servant will be at peace: but if he is angry, then it will be clear to you that he has an evil purpose in mind against me.

†[GNT] If he says, "All right,' I will be safe; but if he becomes angry, you will know that he is determined to harm me.

†[NIV]If he says, 'Very well,' then your servant is safe. But if he loses his temper, you can be sure that he is determined to harm me.

撒上20:8 求你施恩与仆人，因你在耶和华面前曾与仆人结盟。我若有罪，不如你自己杀我，何必将我交给你父亲呢？” (串)撒上18:3本章16撒下21:7|撒下14:32

†[吕]求你以忠爱待仆人；因为你曾使仆人在永恒主面前同你结约。我若有什么罪愆，你自己尽管把我杀死；为什么要这样待我带交你父亲呢？”

†[思]望你仁慈对待你仆人！因你使你因上主的名与你订了盟约；假若我有罪恶，你可杀我，为何偏要将我交给你父亲呢？”

†[当代]你既然与我结为手足，就请你为我做这件事吧。如果我真的冒犯了你父亲，就请你亲手杀我，却千万不要把我交给他啊！”

†[新译]求你以慈爱待仆人，因为你曾与仆人在耶和华面前立盟约。如果我有罪孽，你就亲手把我杀死，为什么要把我交给你父亲呢？”

†[Wlb]昔尔使仆指耶和华、与尔盟约、故当以仁慈待我、如我有罪、尔自杀我、何携我诣尔父乎、

†[Xdv]请你信守你跟我在上主面前所立的盟约。假使我有罪，你亲自下手杀我好了；何必让你父亲杀我！”

†[Kjv]Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?

†[Nkjv]Therefore you shall deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you. Nevertheless, if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?"

†[BBE]So, then, be kind to your servant; for you have been united with your servant in an agreement made before the Lord: but if there is any wrongdoing in me, put me to death yourself; why take me to your father?

†[GNT] Please do me this favor, and keep the sacred promise you made to me. But if I'm guilty, kill me yourself! Why take me to your father to be killed?"

†[NIV]As for you, show kindness to your servant, for you have brought him into a covenant with you before the Lord . If I am guilty, then kill me yourself! Why hand me over to your father?"

本会注释　　我若有罪。大卫意识到他的困境不是他的罪造成的。被当作政敌，过逃亡者的生活，如果再加上负疚感，这个重担就无法承担了。意识到自己的无辜，在这试炼的时辰支持了大卫。
　　清洁的良心能补偿今生的任何损失。那些羡慕恶人，就是那些放纵罪中之乐的人，应该记得这些快乐要用悔恨与自责的时辰来偿还。许多曾就饮于世俗污秽之泉的人都愿意放弃他们的一切，来取消过去的时光并擦去他们生活中的污点。另一方面，那些能以无亏的良心面对上帝和同胞的人，却是世界上最幸福的人。他们可能拥有很少的物质财产，但是他们却拥有世界上所有的财富都买不到的财宝（见彼前3:13-17）。

撒上20:9 约拿单说：“断无此事！我若知道我父亲决意害你，我岂不告诉你呢？”

†[吕]约拿单说：“你绝对不至于如此。我若准知道我父亲决定要加害于你，我还有不告诉你的么？”

†[思]约纳堂答说：“千万别这样想！如果我确实知道，我父亲决意要加害你，岂有不告诉你的吗？”

†[当代]约拿单回答说：“我决不会这样做；如果我知道我爸爸真的计划要杀你，难道我会不通知你吗？”

†[新译]约拿单说：“绝对没有这事，如果我知道我父亲决意要害你，我会不告诉你吗？”

†[Wlb]约拿单曰、决不为此、我若确知我父决意害尔、岂不以告、

†[Xdv]乔纳单说：“不要想到那方面去！如果我确实知道我父亲要害你，我会不告诉你吗？”

†[Kjv]And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?

†[Nkjv]But Jonathan said, "Far be it from you! For if I knew certainly that evil was determined by my father to come upon you, then would I not tell you?"

†[BBE]And Jonathan said, Do not have such a thought: for if I saw that my father was designing evil against you, would I not give you word of it?

†[GNT] "Don't even think such a thing!" Jonathan answered. "If I knew for sure that my father was determined to harm you, wouldn't I tell you?"

†[NIV]Never!" Jonathan said. "If I had the least inkling that my father was determined to harm you, wouldn't I tell you?"

本会注释　　决意害你。约拿单心中认为大卫对扫罗态度的推测是不对的。他似乎深信扫罗只是因为精神错乱，有时的举动才象一个魔鬼。他本可以直接反驳大卫，但由于这件事是以一种私人的方式影响大卫的，他乐意遵照他朋友的方法探知扫罗的态度。未来会显明事实。照大卫的办法行毕竟没有什么害处。
　　这件事中存在一个有价值的教训。人们所拥有的遗传与环境并不一样，因而对待生活问题的方式也不一样。每个人都认为自己的方法是正确的。结果常常是意见不同、矛盾和指责。激烈的言辞被愤慨地说来说去，离间了家庭、朋友甚至爱人。自私增长，并且骄傲保持着所采取的立场，不管是不是站得住脚。本章呈现了扫罗与约拿单处理这种情形的方式之间惊人的对比。扫罗急躁专制而偏执，认为自己必须是第一位的，他所说的话是正确和决定性的。任何一个有不同意见的人都要被不择手段地清除。然而他亲生儿子却从一个完全不同的角度对待人生。既然父亲和儿子拥有同样的环境和训练，为什么他们之间如此不同呢？难道上帝光照了一个人的生活而没有光照另一个人吗？扫罗生来就是邪恶的，而相比之下他的儿子却具有高贵的品性吗？难道人们必须接受扫罗的怪癖、容忍他独断专行和盛气凌人的作风吗？
　　问题的答案在保罗的话里可以找到：“你们献上自己做奴仆，顺从谁，就作谁的奴仆”（罗6:16）。人类因自己的自由选择，将他的服务，他的思想，他关于生活的见解献给一个或另一个主人——两位代表标准完全相反的领导。扫罗可能在青少年时期都是专顾自己的，在他在父家也许就是一个问题儿童，在同伴中欺凌弱小，但仍象犹大那样，天生就是领导者。假如确实这样的话，那么当扫罗离家找驴时他父亲会焦急就容易理解了。然而在扫罗受膏时，有大量的证据证明上帝不顾他的过错接纳了他，并给了他一颗新心（撒上10:6,9）。但是扫罗拒绝行在上天的光中。另一方面，扫罗的儿子约拿单，却选择谋求他人的利益而不是自己的利益。约拿单在他早期的生活中，通过虔诚的顺服上帝明白的旨意，逐渐形成了其观点的固定方针。他的人生观使他高兴地接受了大卫的建议。大卫后来唱道“看哪，弟兄和睦同居，是何等地善，何等地美”（诗133:1）时，心中想到的，可能就是这种与人相处之道。

撒上20:10 大卫对约拿单说：“你父亲若用厉言回答你，谁来告诉我呢？”

†[吕]大卫对约拿单说：“你父亲若严厉地回答你，谁来告诉我呢？”

†[思]达味就问约纳堂说：“若你父亲严厉答覆你，谁来通知我？”

†[当代]大卫又问约拿单说：“我怎么知道你父亲是否发怒呢？”

†[新译]大卫对约拿单说：“如果你父亲严厉地回答你，谁来告诉我呢？”

†[Wlb]大卫曰、如尔父以厉言叱尔、谁以告我、

†[Xdv]大卫又问：“如果你父亲忿怒地回答你，谁来告诉我呢？”

†[Kjv]Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly?

†[Nkjv]Then David said to Jonathan, "Who will tell me, or what if your father answers you roughly?"

†[BBE]Then David said to Jonathan, Who will give me word if your father gives you a rough answer?

†[GNT] David then asked, "Who will let me know if your father answers you angrily?"

†[NIV]David asked, "Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?"

撒上20:11 约拿单对大卫说：“你我且往田野去。”二人就往田野去了。

†[吕]约拿单对大卫说：“来，我们出去到田野去吧！”二人就出去到田野去。

†[思]约纳堂对达味说：“来，我们往田间去”。二人就往田间去了。

†[当代]约拿单回答说：“我们一起到田里去吧。”

†[新译]约拿单对大卫说：“你来，我们出到田里去吧！”他们二人就出到田里去了。

†[Wlb]约拿单曰、尔来、偕往于田、二人遂往、

†[Xdv]乔纳单回答：“我们到田野去吧！”他们就一起去。

†[Kjv]And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.

†[Nkjv]And Jonathan said to David, "Come, let us go out into the field." So both of them went out into the field.

†[BBE]And Jonathan said to David, Come, let us go out into the country. And the two of them went out together into the open country.

†[GNT] "Let's go out to the fields," Jonathan answered. So they went,

†[NIV]Come," Jonathan said, "let's go out into the field." So they went there together.

撒上20:12 约拿单对大卫说：“愿耶和华以色列的上帝为证。明日约在这时候，或第三日，我探我父亲的意思，若向你有好意，我岂不打发人告诉你吗？

†[吕]约拿单对大卫说：“愿永恒主以色列的上帝作证。明天大约这时候，就是第三天，我窥察我父亲的意思；若见他对你有好意，那时、我还有不打发人来找你、向你披露的么？

†[思]约纳堂对达味说：“上主，以色列的天主作证：明天或天这时候，我探得了我父亲的意思，对达味有或否，我必派人来告诉你。

†[当代]约拿单对大卫说：“愿主以色列的上帝为证，明天大约这个时间或最迟在后天，我就会和我父亲谈到你，我会立刻把他的反应告诉你。

†[新译]约拿单对大卫说：“愿耶和华以色列的　神作证，明天或后天约在这个时候，我探出了我父亲的意思，如果他对你有好感，那时我会不派人来告诉你吗？

†[Wlb]约拿单谓大卫曰、愿以色列之上帝耶和华为证、明日此时、或至三日、我窥我父于尔、若有善意、岂不遣人示尔乎、

†[Xdv]乔纳单对大卫说：“愿上主──以色列的上帝作我们的证人！明天和后天这个时候，我会探我父亲的意思。如果他对你没有恶意，我会带口信给你；

†[Kjv]And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and shew it thee;

†[Nkjv]Then Jonathan said to David: "The LORD God of Israel is witness! When I have sounded out my father sometime tomorrow, or the third day, and indeed there is good toward David, and I do not send to you and tell you,

†[BBE]And Jonathan said to David, May the Lord, the God of Israel, be witness; when I have had a chance of talking to my father, about this time tomorrow, if his feelings to David are good, will I not send and give you the news?

†[GNT] and Jonathan said to David, "May the Lord God of Israel be our witness! At this time tomorrow and on the following day I will question my father. If his attitude toward you is good, I will send you word.

†[NIV]Then Jonathan said to David: "By the Lord , the God of Israel, I will surely sound out my father by this time the day after tomorrow! If he is favorably disposed toward you, will I not send you word and let you know?

撒上20:13 我父亲若有意害你，我不告诉你使你平平安安的走，愿耶和华重重的降罚与我。愿耶和华与你同在，如同从前与我父亲同在一样。 (串)得1:17|书1:5,17撒上17:37王上1:37

†[吕]我父亲若有意要加害于你，而我若不向你披露、使你平平安安地走开，愿永恒主这样惩罚我，并且加倍地惩罚。愿永恒主和你同在，如同从前和我父亲同在一样。

†[思]倘若我父亲愿意加害你，我若不通知你，不放你走，使你平安离去，愿上主这样这样加倍罚我约纳堂！愿上主与你同在，有如曾与我父亲同在一样！

†[当代]如果他有怒气，立心杀你，而我又不告诉你让你逃出生天的话，就愿主杀了我；又愿主与你在一起，好像以前与我父亲在一起一样。

†[新译]假如我父亲有意要害你，我若是不告诉你，不让你走，不使你平平安安地离去，愿耶和华加倍惩罚我。愿耶和华与你同在，好像从前与我父亲同在一样。

†[Wlb]我父若欲害尔、我不示尔、使尔安然而去、则愿耶和华罚约拿单维倍、惟愿耶和华偕尔、如昔偕我父然、

†[Xdv]如果他存心要害你，而我不告诉你，让你安全离开，愿上主杀我。”乔纳单又说：“愿上主跟你同在，像他从前跟我父亲同在一样！

†[Kjv]The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father.

†[Nkjv]may the LORD do so and much more to Jonathan. But if it pleases my father to do you evil, then I will report it to you and send you away, that you may go in safety. And the LORD be with you as He has been with my father.

†[BBE]May the Lord's punishment be on Jonathan, if it is my father's pleasure to do you evil and I do not give you word of it and send you away so that you may go in peace: and may the Lord be with you, as he has been with my father.

†[GNT] If he intends to harm you, may the Lord strike me dead if I don't let you know about it and get you safely away. May the Lord be with you as he was with my father!

†[NIV]But if my father is inclined to harm you, may the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if I do not let you know and send you away safely. May the Lord be with you as he has been with my father.

本会注释　　愿耶和华与你同在。约拿单来到田野与大卫结盟，严肃地发誓，无论形势如何变化，他都不会离弃大卫。如果消息是好的，象他所希望的那样，他不会丢弃大卫。另一方面，如果消息是坏的，他会将真情通知大卫，并在他逃命时祈求上帝祝福他。就自己而言，当扫罗承担国家的重任时，约拿单曾深信上帝与他父亲同在。但是自从遇到大卫以来，他就有了神圣的印象，即耶和华也给大卫计划了崇高的命运。不管扫罗对他有何恶意，这命运终必实现。约拿单的这种态度，表显出了真正的宽宏大量。

撒上20:14 你要照耶和华的慈爱恩待我，不但我活着的时候免我死亡， (串)撒下9:1,3,7

†[吕]假使我还活着，那么就求你将永恒主那样的忠爱待我。假使我死了，

†[思]若我那时尚在人世，愿你对我表示上主的仁慈；设若我死了，

†[当代]但我也请你在我活著的时候，用主的慈爱恩待我，免我一死；

†[新译]我活着的时候，求你以耶和华的慈爱待我，使我不致于死。

†[Wlb]尔当以耶和华之仁慈待我、不第在我存日、免我死亡、

†[Xdv]如果我还活着，你一定要忠诚待我；如果我死了（希伯来文是：使我免死），

†[Kjv]And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:

†[Nkjv]And you shall not only show me the kindness of the LORD while I still live, that I may not die;

†[BBE]And may you, while I am still living, O may you be kind to me, as the Lord is kind, and keep me from death!

†[GNT] And if I remain alive, please keep your sacred promise and be loyal to me; but if I die,

†[NIV]But show me unfailing kindness like that of the Lord as long as I live, so that I may not be killed,

撒上20:15 就是我死后，耶和华从地上剪除你仇敌的时候，你也永不可向我家绝了恩惠。”

†[吕]求你也永不向我家剪断忠爱。但假使永恒主从地上剪灭了大卫每一个仇敌，

†[思]愿你不要由我家永远撤消你的仁慈！连当上主由地面上一一铲除达味的敌人时；

†[当代]在我死后，在主把你所有的仇敌都毁灭了的时候，请你也照样恩待我的后人。”

†[新译]我死了以后，耶和华从地上一一剪除大卫的仇敌的时候，你也不可向我的家永远断绝你的慈爱。”

†[Wlb]厥后耶和华歼大卫诸敌于地时、亦勿绝尔仁慈于我家、历世靡暨、

†[Xdv]你要始终以同样的忠诚待我的家人。当上主彻底消灭你的仇敌以后，

†[Kjv]But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.

†[Nkjv]but you shall not cut off your kindness from my house forever, no, not when the LORD has cut off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth."

†[BBE]And let not your mercy ever be cut off from my family, even when the Lord has sent destruction on all David's haters, cutting them off from the face of the earth.

†[GNT] show the same kind of loyalty to my family forever. And when the Lord has completely destroyed all your enemies,

†[NIV]and do not ever cut off your kindness from my family-not even when the Lord has cut off every one of David's enemies from the face of the earth."

本会注释　　向我家。在血统上，约拿单是已经成了大卫死敌一家的成员。然而他认识到上帝的意思是要把以色列的领导权交托给他的妹夫。约拿单出于自己的自由意志选择与大卫的家联合，上帝已经显出迹象要使大卫家取代他所出身的这个败落家庭。在约拿单的心中，上帝的计划优先于家庭的纽带。这并不是因为他希望谋求个人的安全，而是因为他明白真理最终必会获得胜利。
　　永远。`ad-`aolam，直译是“直到一代”。一代的长度必须由与其相关的概念决定。在这种情况下，时间的长度将是这两个家庭同时存在的时期。关于“永远”不一定表示永无止境的证据，见@出21:6@注释。

撒上20:16 于是约拿单与大卫家结盟，说：“愿耶和华藉大卫的仇敌追讨背约的罪。” (串)申18:19书22:23

†[吕]而约拿单也和扫罗家（传统：大卫家）同被剪除了，那么愿永恒主从大卫家（传统：大卫仇敌）手里追讨这背约的罪。”

†[思]若约纳堂的名字被达味家族消灭了，愿上主藉达味的仇人的手追究此案！”

†[当代]于是约拿单便与大卫一家立下誓约。大卫起誓说：“倘若大卫不守誓约，愿主藉著我的仇敌来惩罚我。”

†[新译]于是约拿单与大卫家立盟约，说：“愿耶和华借大卫仇敌的手追讨违背盟约的罪。”

†[Wlb]约拿单遂与大卫家盟约曰、不守此约者、愿耶和华于大卫之敌讨之、

†[Xdv]愿你我之间的盟约仍然坚立。如果你毁约，上主要惩罚你。”

†[Kjv]So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.

†[Nkjv]So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, "Let the LORD require it at the hand of David's enemies."

†[BBE]And if it comes about that the name of Jonathan is cut off from the family of David, the Lord will make David responsible.

†[GNT] may our promise to each other still be unbroken. If it is broken, the Lord will punish you."

†[NIV]So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, "May the Lord call David's enemies to account."

本会注释　　结盟。本节较难翻译。七十士译本为“如果你没有，当耶和华从地上剪除大卫一切仇敌的时候，假使约拿单的名字被大卫家发现，那么愿耶和华找出大卫的仇敌”。

撒上20:17 约拿单因爱大卫如同爱自己的性命，就使他再起誓。 (串)撒上18:1-3

†[吕]于是约拿单凭着爱大卫的心、又对（传统：叫）大卫起誓，因为他爱他如同自己的性命。

†[思]约纳堂由于爱达味，再向他起了誓，因为他爱达味如爱自己的性命。

†[当代]约拿单凭著爱大卫的心，叫他再次起誓，这是因为他爱大卫就好像爱自己的性命一样。

†[新译]约拿单由于爱大卫，就使大卫再起誓；他爱大卫如同爱自己的命。

†[Wlb]约拿单爱大卫、如爱己命、故使之复誓、

†[Xdv]乔纳单再次要大卫发誓爱他，因为他非常爱大卫，就像爱自己一样。

†[Kjv]And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

†[Nkjv]Now Jonathan again caused David to vow, because he loved him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

†[BBE]And Jonathan again took an oath to David, because of his love for him: for David was as dear to him as his very soul.

†[GNT] Once again Jonathan made David promise to love him, for Jonathan loved David as much as he loved himself.

†[NIV]And Jonathan had David reaffirm his oath out of love for him, because he loved him as he loved himself.

撒上20:18 约拿单对他说：“明日是初一，你的座位空设，人必理会你不在那里。 (串)本章25,27

†[吕]约拿单对他说：“明天是初一；你座位空着、人一定察觉到。

†[思]约纳堂又对他说：“明日是月朔，因为占座位空着，人必注意你不在，

†[当代]约拿单又说：“明天是朔日，如果你的座位空了，他们一定会察觉到。

†[新译]约拿单对大卫说：“明天是初一，因为你的座位空着，人必注意到你不在。

†[Wlb]谓之曰、明日月朔、尔虚其位、人必见之、

†[Xdv]乔纳单对大卫说：“明天是初一，吃饭的时候你不在，人家一定会发觉；

†[Kjv]Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.

†[Nkjv]Then Jonathan said to David, "Tomorrow is the New Moon; and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.

†[BBE]Then Jonathan said to him, Tomorrow is the new moon: and it will be seen that you are not present, for there will be no one in your seat.

†[GNT] Then Jonathan said to him, "Since tomorrow is the New Moon Festival, your absence will be noticed if you aren't at the meal.

†[NIV]Then Jonathan said to David: "Tomorrow is the New Moon festival. You will be missed, because your seat will be empty.

撒上20:19 你等三日，就要速速下去，到你从前遇事所藏的地方，在以色磐石那里等候。

†[吕]第三天尤甚；那么你要迅速下去，到你遇事时候藏身的地方，在那石头堆旁边等着。

†[思]到第叁天，人必更注意你不在；那么，你要到你曾出事那日藏身的地方去，坐在那石堆旁边。

†[当代]到了后天，所有人都会追问你的去向。你要赶快到你第一次遇事时藏匿过的以色磐石那里去。

†[新译]到后天，你要赶快下去，到你以前出事那天藏身的地方，在以色磐石旁边等候。

†[Wlb]越至三日、尔必速往、至昔相议之时、尔所匿迹之处、俟于以色石旁、

†[Xdv]后天你又不在，人家更会察觉到（希伯来文是：下去）。所以你要到上次躲藏的地方去，藏在石堆（希伯来文是：以色盘石）后面。

†[Kjv]And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.

†[Nkjv]And when you have stayed three days, go down quickly and come to the place where you hid on the day of the deed; and remain by the stone Ezel.

†[BBE]And on the third day it will be specially noted, and you will go to the place where you took cover when the other business was in hand, waiting by the hill over there.

†[GNT] The day after tomorrow your absence will be noticed even more; so go to the place where you hid yourself the other time, and hide behind the pile of stones there.

†[NIV]The day after tomorrow, toward evening, go to the place where you hid when this trouble began, and wait by the stone Ezel.

撒上20:20 我要向磐石旁边射三箭，如同射箭靶一样。

†[吕]我呢、要向石头堆旁边射三枝箭，如同射箭靶一样。

†[思]到第叁天，我要向石堆射箭，仿佛射靶。

†[当代]我会出来练箭，在磐石的前面射三箭。

†[新译]我要向磐石旁边射三支箭，好像射箭靶一样。

†[Wlb]我将射三矢于其侧、佯欲射的、

†[Xdv]我会把石堆当箭靶，射出三箭，

†[Kjv]And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.

†[Nkjv]Then I will shoot three arrows to the side, as though I shot at a target;

†[BBE]And on the third day I will send arrows from my bow against its side as if at a mark.

†[GNT] I will then shoot three arrows at it, as though it were a target.

†[NIV]I will shoot three arrows to the side of it, as though I were shooting at a target.

撒上20:21 我要打发童子，说：‘去把箭找来。’我若对童子说：‘箭在后头，把箭拿来’，你就可以回来；我指着永生的耶和华起誓，你必平安无事。 (串)得3:13本章3

†[吕]看吧，我要打发僮仆，说：‘去把箭找来。’我若对僮仆说：‘看哪，箭在你后头呢；把箭拿来。”那么、你就可以回来；我指着永活的永恒主来起誓，你一定平安无事。

†[思]看，我必打发一童仆去找箭，假如我我对童说：看，箭在你后面，拾回来吧！你就可以出来，我指着永生的上主起誓：你必平安无事。

†[当代]然后，我会叫一个仆人把箭拾回。如果你听到我对他说：‘箭就在你这一边，你拾回来吧！’那么，你就知道已经平安无事，你也可以回来了；

†[新译]然后，我要派一个仆人去，说：‘你去把箭找回来。’如果我对那仆人说：‘看哪！箭在你的后面，把箭拿回来。’你就可以回来，因为我指着永活的耶和华起誓，你必平安无事。

†[Wlb]命童取矢、如曰矢在此、可取之来、我指维生之耶和华而誓、尔必平安无害、

†[Xdv]然后吩咐我的仆人上前去找箭。如果我对仆人说：‘箭在你后面，去找吧！’那就是说你安全了，可以出来。我指着永生上主发誓，你一定没有危险。

†[Kjv]And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the LORD liveth.

†[Nkjv]and there I will send a lad, saying, "Go, find the arrows.' If I expressly say to the lad, "Look, the arrows are on this side of you; get them and come'--then, as the LORD lives, there is safety for you and no harm.

†[BBE]And I will send my boy to have a look for the arrow. And if I say to him, See, the arrow is on this side of you; take it up! then you may come; for there is peace for you and no evil, by the living Lord.

†[GNT] Then I will tell my servant to go and find them. And if I tell him, "Look, the arrows are on this side of you; get them,' that means that you are safe and can come out. I swear by the living Lord that you will be in no danger.

†[NIV]Then I will send a boy and say, 'Go, find the arrows.' If I say to him, 'Look, the arrows are on this side of you; bring them here,' then come, because, as surely as the Lord lives, you are safe; there is no danger.

撒上20:22 我若对童子说：‘箭在前头’，你就要去，因为是耶和华打发你去的。 (串)本章37

†[吕]但我若对童子说：‘看哪，箭在你前头呢。’那么你就可以往前走；因为是永恒主打发你去的。

†[思]倘若我对童仆自己说：看，箭在你前面。你就走吧！因为上主打发你走。

†[当代]但如果我说：‘再走过一点，箭就在你前面啊！’你就要立刻离开，因为是主的意思要你离开。

†[新译]如果我对仆人说：‘看哪！箭在你的前面。’你就要离去，因为是耶和华打发你去的。

†[Wlb]如我谓童曰、矢在彼、则行尔途、乃耶和华使尔去也、

†[Xdv]如果我告诉仆人：‘箭在你前面，’你要赶快走！因为上主要你离开。

†[Kjv]But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away.

†[Nkjv]But if I say thus to the young man, "Look, the arrows are beyond you'--go your way, for the LORD has sent you away.

†[BBE]But if I say to the boy, See, the arrow has gone past you: then go on your way, for the Lord has sent you away.

†[GNT] But if I tell him, "The arrows are on the other side of you,' then leave, because the Lord is sending you away.

†[NIV]But if I say to the boy, 'Look, the arrows are beyond you,' then you must go, because the Lord has sent you away.

撒上20:23 至于你我今日所说的话，有耶和华在你我中间为证，直到永远。” (串)本章42

†[吕]至于你我今天所说的话，看哪，有永恒主在你我之间作证、直到永远。”

†[思]至于我和你现今所说的这话，有上主在我和你中间，永远作证”。

†[当代]至于我们之间所立的约，主会亲自为我们作见证。”

†[新译]至于你我之间所说的这事，有耶和华永远在你我之间作证。”

†[Wlb]至于尔我所言之事、耶和华恒在尔我间为证、

†[Xdv]至于我们的盟约，有上主永远在你我之间作证人。”

†[Kjv]And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between thee and me for ever.

†[Nkjv]And as for the matter which you and I have spoken of, indeed the LORD be between you and me forever."

†[BBE]As for what you and I were talking of, the Lord is between you and me for ever.

†[GNT] As for the promise we have made to each other, the Lord will make sure that we will keep it forever."

†[NIV]And about the matter you and I discussed-remember, the Lord is witness between you and me forever."

本会注释　　在你我中间。约拿单自然盼望有好消息。否则他也深信耶和华会设法使祂的旨意实现。他确信赐给他和大卫如此宝贵的共处时光的上帝必继续看顾他们二人。

撒上20:24 大卫就去藏在田野。到了初一日，王坐席要吃饭。

†[吕]于是大卫去藏在田间。到了初一日、王坐席要吃饭。

†[思]于是达味就去藏在田野间；到了月朔，君王入席吃饭。

†[当代]于是，大卫就躲到田间去。朔日到了，王照常坐在靠墙的位置，约拿单侍立在旁，押尼珥坐在王的身边，大卫的位子却是空的。

†[新译]于是大卫在田里藏起来。到了初一，王坐席吃饭。

†[Wlb]大卫匿于田、月朔王席坐、

†[Xdv]于是，大卫去藏在田野里。初一那天，扫罗王来用膳，

†[Kjv]So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.

†[Nkjv]Then David hid in the field. And when the New Moon had come, the king sat down to eat the feast.

†[BBE]So David went to a secret place in the country: and when the new moon came, the king took his place at the feast.

†[GNT] So David hid in the fields. At the New Moon Festival, King Saul came to the meal

†[NIV]So David hid in the field, and when the New Moon festival came, the king sat down to eat.

本会注释　　在撒母耳面前受感说话。从前扫罗在受膏的时候，曾加入先知的行列；他的诚心带来了心灵的改变（撒上10:5-11）。现在他的愤怒再次受到了克制，并获得清楚的证据证明上帝在保护大卫。约瑟弗斯说：“他的思想是混乱的，处在一种灵的猛烈兴奋之下。他脱了衣服倒下，在撒母耳和大卫面前躺在地上一昼一夜”（《犹太古代史》卷六 11. 5）。
　　露体。该词可能指全然赤裸（伯1:21），衣衫褴褛（伯22:6；24:7,10；赛58:7），或者可能穿着一件长袍，披风放在一边（参赛20:2）。这里可能指后一种意思；换一句话说，扫罗把他的王袍放在一边，只穿着他的长袍，就是通常在家里穿的内衣。上街时通常套上外袍或斗篷。扫罗脱下他的王袍，可能更像那所学校里的学生。
　　此时圣灵可能向扫罗个人作最后一次的恳劝。扫罗的口中可能不仅承认了大卫事业的正义，还定了他自己任性行为的罪。在最后的审判日，众生的大仇敌会承认上帝伟大救赎计划的公义和他自己所行道路的错误（见腓2:10,11）。但是旧有的嫉妒和憎恨还会回来并最后一次表现为爆发强烈的仇恨与狂怒（见《善恶之争》671,672页）。扫罗对大卫的仇恨就是这样。曾控制他的恶魔的每一次返回都发现他的心灵空无上帝的恩典，就比从前更牢固地控制了他（见太12:44,45）。

撒上20:25 王照常坐在靠墙的位上，约拿单侍立，押尼珥坐在扫罗旁边，大卫的座位空设。 (串)本章18

†[吕]王照常坐在他的座位上、就是靠墙的座位；约拿单在对面（传统：侍立着）；押尼珥坐在扫罗旁边；大卫的席位空着。

†[思]君王照例靠着墙坐在自己的位上，约纳堂坐在他对面，阿贝乃尔坐在撒乌耳旁边，达味的地方空着。

†[当代]－

†[新译]王照常坐在他的座位上，就是靠墙的座位，约拿单坐在对面，押尼珥坐在扫罗旁边，大卫的座位却空着。

†[Wlb]如常附墙而坐、约拿单侍立、押尼珥坐于扫罗侧、大卫之位虚焉、

†[Xdv]照常坐在靠墙的那座位。押尼珥坐在他旁边，乔纳单坐在他对面（希伯来文是：站了起来），大卫的座位空着。

†[Kjv]And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.

†[Nkjv]Now the king sat on his seat, as at other times, on a seat by the wall. And Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, but David's place was empty.

†[BBE]And the king took his seat, as at other times, by the wall: and Jonathan was in front, and Abner was seated by Saul's side, but there was no one in David's seat.

†[GNT] and sat in his usual place by the wall. Abner sat next to him, and Jonathan sat across the table from him. David's place was empty,

†[NIV]He sat in his customary place by the wall, opposite Jonathan, and Abner sat next to Saul, but David's place was empty.

撒上20:26 然而这日扫罗没有说什么，他想大卫遇事，偶染不洁，他必定是不洁。 (串)利7:21;11:24-28;15:1-4

†[吕]然而这一天扫罗没有说什么，因为他心里说：‘这是偶然的事，或者他不洁净，因为还没有得洁净（传统：他不洁净）。

†[思]撒乌耳那天没有说什么，因为他想事情出于偶然，或许他染了不洁，还没有自洁。

†[当代]那一天，扫罗并没有说些什么，因为他以为大卫可能因事来不及洁净自己，以致不能出席；

†[新译]那天扫罗没有说什么，因为他心里想：“这是恰巧的事，或许大卫沾染了不洁，还没有得到洁净。”

†[Wlb]是日扫罗无言、意大卫遇事、或蒙不洁、必不洁也、

†[Xdv]但那天扫罗没说什么，因为他以为大卫遇到了使他不洁净的事情。

†[Kjv]Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.

†[Nkjv]Nevertheless Saul did not say anything that day, for he thought, "Something has happened to him; he is unclean, surely he is unclean."

†[BBE]But Saul said nothing that day, for his thought was, Something has taken place making him unclean; it is clear that he is not clean.

†[GNT] but Saul said nothing that day, because he thought, "Something has happened to him, and he is not ritually pure."

†[NIV]Saul said nothing that day, for he thought, "Something must have happened to David to make him ceremonially unclean-surely he is unclean."

本会注释　　他必定是不洁。扫罗虽然品性邪恶，但显然还是拘泥形式的。他以为仪文上的不洁导致大卫不能出席这种特别的宴席（见利15；撒上21:3-5等）。但他此刻主要关心的并不是侍奉的形式，而是那个胆敢接受平民喝彩超过王的青年人的下落。

撒上20:27 初二日大卫的座位还空设。扫罗问他儿子约拿单说：“耶西的儿子为何昨日、今日没有来吃饭呢？”

†[吕]第二天、就是初二日、大卫的席位还是空着；扫罗就问他儿子约拿单说：“为什么耶西的儿子昨天今天都没有来吃饭呢？”

†[思]日，即初二日，达味的座位仍空着，撒乌耳就对儿子约纳堂说：“为什么叶瑟的儿子昨日没有来赴宴，今日又没有来？”

†[当代]可是到了第二天，大卫的座位还是空著，扫罗就问约拿单说：“为什么大卫这两天都不来赴宴呢？”

†[新译]次日，就是初二，大卫的座位仍是空着。于是扫罗问他的儿子约拿单：“为什么耶西的儿子昨天今天都没有来吃饭呢？”

†[Wlb]翌日乃月之二日、大卫之位仍虚、扫罗谓其子约拿单曰、耶西之子、昨日今日不赴宴、曷故、

†[Xdv]第二天，就是初二，大卫的座位仍然空着；扫罗就问乔纳单：“为什么大卫昨天和今天都没有来吃饭？”

†[Kjv]And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?

†[Nkjv]And it happened the next day, the second day of the month, that David's place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why has the son of Jesse not come to eat, either yesterday or today?"

†[BBE]And on the day after the new moon, that is, the second day, there was still no one in David's seat: and Saul said to his son Jonathan, Why has the son of Jesse not come to the feast yesterday or today?

†[GNT] On the following day, the day after the New Moon Festival, David's place was still empty, and Saul asked Jonathan, "Why didn't David come to the meal either yesterday or today?"

†[NIV]But the next day, the second day of the month, David's place was empty again. Then Saul said to his son Jonathan, "Why hasn't the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?"

本会注释　　初二日。如果只是不洁问题，那么大卫可以自洁，并且在黄昏的时候就洁净了，因而第二天可以出席宴会。当扫罗发现大卫没有出席时，他就询问他儿子关于“耶西的儿子”的下落，从而暴露了他真实的情绪。他对大卫的仇恨非常强烈，所以语气十分生硬（见31节）。大卫曾两次逃脱他行凶的手；他决心不让这事再发生了。

撒上20:28 约拿单回答扫罗说：“大卫切求我容他往伯利恒去。 (串)本章6

†[吕]约拿单回答扫罗说：“大卫恳切地求我让他到伯利恒去；

†[思]约纳堂答覆撒乌耳说：“达味恳求我许他往白冷去。

†[当代]约拿单回答说：“他征得了我的同意，到伯利恒参与家中的献祭去了。他的哥哥坚持要他在场，所以我就准他去了。”

†[新译]约拿单回答扫罗：“大卫恳切地求我让他回伯利恒去。

†[Wlb]约拿单对曰、大卫切求于我、许其往伯利恒、

†[Xdv]乔纳单说：“他向我请假，求我让他回伯利恒去。

†[Kjv]And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem:

†[Nkjv]So Jonathan answered Saul, "David earnestly asked permission of me to go to Bethlehem.

†[BBE]And answering Saul, Jonathan said, He made a request to me that he might go to Beth-lehem,

†[GNT] Jonathan answered, "He begged me to let him go to Bethlehem.

†[NIV]Jonathan answered, "David earnestly asked me for permission to go to Bethlehem.

本会注释　　见第6节的注释。

撒上20:29 他说：‘求你容我去，因为我家在城里有献祭的事；我长兄吩咐我去。如今我若在你眼前蒙恩，求你容我去见我的弟兄’；所以大卫没有赴王的席。”

†[吕]他说：‘求你容我去；因为我们家在城里有献祭的事；我哥哥吩咐我去。如今我若得到你顾爱，求你容我溜走去见我哥哥。’因此大卫就没有来赴王的筵席。”

†[思]他说：求你让我去，因为在城我们要举行族祭，我的兄弟定要我去；所以，假若我在你眼中获宠，求你让我去，容我得见我的兄弟；为此，他没有来赴君王的席”。

†[当代]－

†[新译]他说：‘求你让我去，因为我们的家在城里有献祭的事，我哥哥吩咐我去。所以，我若是在你眼前蒙恩，求你让我离开，看看我的哥哥们。’因此，大卫没有来赴王的筵席。”

†[Wlb]曰、请容我往、家有祭祀于邑、兄命必至、如沾尔恩、请容我往、见我诸兄、故未赴王宴、

†[Xdv]他对我说：‘请让我去，因为我们一家要在城里献祭；我哥哥叫我一定要到。如果你是我的朋友，就让我回去看看我的家人吧！’所以大卫没有来赴席。”

†[Kjv]And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not u

†[Nkjv]And he said, "Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to be there. And now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me get away and see my brothers.' Therefore he has not come to the king's tabl

†[BBE]Saying, Our family is making an offering in the town, and my brothers have given me orders to be there: so now, if I have grace in your eyes, let me go away and see my brothers. This is why he has not come to the king's table.

†[GNT] "Please let me go,' he said, "because our family is celebrating the sacrificial feast in town, and my brother ordered me to be there. So then, if you are my friend, let me go and see my relatives.' That is why he isn't in his place at your table."

†[NIV]He said, 'Let me go, because our family is observing a sacrifice in the town and my brother has ordered me to be there. If I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away to see my brothers.' That is why he has not come to the king's table."

撒上20:30 扫罗向约拿单发怒，对他说：“你这顽梗背逆之妇人所生的，我岂不知道你喜悦耶西的儿子，自取羞辱，以致你母亲露体蒙羞吗？

†[吕]扫罗便向约拿单发怒，说：“邪曲背逆的妇人生的！难道我不知道你取悦了耶西的儿子、而自取羞辱，以致你母亲的下体蒙羞辱么？

†[思]撒乌耳对约纳堂勃然大怒，对他说：“娼妇的儿子！岂能我不知道你同叶瑟的儿子一夥，甚至羞辱你自己，又我羞辱你母亲的私处吗？

†[当代]扫罗听了以后，就向约拿单大发脾气，大吼大叫地说：“你这叛逆妇人所生的不肖子！你以为我不知道你跟这耶西所生的家伙混在一起，自取其辱，使你母亲也蒙上羞耻吗？

†[新译]于是扫罗向约拿单发怒，对他说：“你这邪僻悖逆妇人所生的，我岂不知道你喜悦耶西的儿子，自取羞辱，也羞辱生你的母亲吗？

†[Wlb]扫罗怒约拿单曰、顽梗悖逆之妇所生者、我岂不知尔简耶西之子、致辱尔身、及母体乎、

†[Xdv]扫罗对乔纳单大发雷霆，他说：“你这畜生！我现在才知道你竟站在大卫那边，丢你自己和你母亲的脸！

†[Kjv]Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?

†[Nkjv]Then Saul's anger was aroused against Jonathan, and he said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?

†[BBE]Then Saul was moved to wrath against Jonathan, and he said to him, You son of an evil and uncontrolled woman, have I not seen how you have given your love to the son of Jesse, to your shame and the shame of your mother?

†[GNT] Saul became furious with Jonathan and said to him, "How rebellious and faithless your mother was! Now I know you are taking sides with David and are disgracing yourself and that mother of yours!

†[NIV]Saul's anger flared up at Jonathan and he said to him, "You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Don't I know that you have sided with the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of the mother who bore you?

本会注释　　顽梗背逆之妇人。原文中没有“妇人”，但显然有这个意思，因为“顽梗”和“背逆”都是阴性形式，必定是指“妇人”。这里暗示扫罗既省略了“妇人”，用两个修饰语的阴性形式，不说出“妇人”或“母亲”，就表示加倍的侮辱。他气愤得只说出了描述性的咒骂语。东方人最恶劣的侮辱之一就是咒骂别人的母亲。

撒上20:31 耶西的儿子若在世间活着，你和你的国位必站立不住。现在你要打发人去，将他捉拿交给我；他是该死的。” (串)撒上26:16撒下12:5王上2:26

†[吕]耶西的儿子活在地上一天，你和你的王位就一天不能坚立。现在你要打发人将他拿来交给我；因为他是该死的。”

†[思]你要知道，叶瑟的儿子活在世上一天，你连你的王位都不得稳当！如今你差人去，把他给我抓来，因为他是该死的人”。

†[当代]你这呆子，只要他一天在生，你就作不成皇帝了！你快去给我抓他回来，我要杀掉他。”

†[新译]因为只要耶西的儿子还活在这世上，你和你的国就不能稳固。现在，你要派人去把他抓到我这里来，因为他是该死的。”

†[Wlb]耶西之子在世、尔与尔国、必不坚立、今当遣人执之诣我、彼必死、

†[Xdv]难道你不知道，大卫活着一天，你就永远别想作这国家的王吗？去把他找来，带到这里。他非死不可！”

†[Kjv]For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.

†[Nkjv]For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Now therefore, send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die."

†[BBE]For while the son of Jesse is living on the earth, your position is unsafe and your kingdom is in danger. So make him come here to me, for it is certainly right for him to be put to death.

†[GNT] Don't you realize that as long as David is alive, you will never be king of this country? Now go and bring him here - he must die!"

†[NIV]As long as the son of Jesse lives on this earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Now send and bring him to me, for he must die!"

本会注释　　站立不住。扫罗决心不管对与错，都要保住自己的王朝。以色列王这样做，就是随从了邻邦国王的榜样，用武力，战争与死亡来维持他们的王朝。扫罗不愿意承认上帝是以色列至高的统治者。

撒上20:32 约拿单对父亲扫罗说：“他为什么该死呢？他做了什么呢？”

†[吕]约拿单回答他父亲扫罗说：“他为什么必须死？他作了什么？”

†[思]约纳堂回答他父亲撒乌耳说：“为什么他该死？他作了什么事？”

†[当代]约拿单却反问说：“他究竟做错了什么事呢？为什么要杀他呢？”

†[新译]约拿单回答他父亲扫罗说：“为什么要把他处死呢？他作了什么事呢？”

†[Wlb]约拿单谓父曰、何故致之于死、彼何所为、

†[Xdv]乔纳单说：“为什么他该死？他做错了什么事呢？”

†[Kjv]And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?

†[Nkjv]And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, "Why should he be killed? What has he done?"

†[BBE]And Jonathan, answering his father Saul, said to him, Why is he to be put to death? What has he done?

†[GNT] "Why should he die?" Jonathan replied. "What has he done?"

†[NIV]Why should he be put to death? What has he done?" Jonathan asked his father.

撒上20:33 扫罗向约拿单抡枪要刺他，约拿单就知道他父亲决意要杀大卫。 (串)撒上18:11;19:10

†[吕]扫罗把矛拿起（传统：掷），向着约拿单、要击杀他；约拿单就知道他父亲决定要杀死大卫。

†[思]撒乌耳就举起枪来要刺死他，约纳堂便明白他父亲已决意要杀达味。

†[当代]扫罗听了这些话，就气得把枪掷向约拿单，想要杀死他。约拿单看见父亲的举动，终于明白了他不杀大卫是不会罢休的。

†[新译]扫罗向着约拿单把枪掷过去，要刺杀他。约拿单就知道，他父亲已经决意要杀死大卫。

†[Wlb]扫罗掷戟欲刺之、于是约拿单知父决意杀大卫、

†[Xdv]顿时，扫罗举起他的矛，向乔纳单扔过去，要杀他。乔纳单这才晓得他父亲的确想杀大卫。

†[Kjv]And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.

†[Nkjv]Then Saul cast a spear at him to kill him, by which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to kill David.

†[BBE]And Saul, pointing his spear at him, made an attempt to give him a wound: from which it was clear to Jonathan that his father's purpose was to put David to death.

†[GNT] At that, Saul threw his spear at Jonathan to kill him, and Jonathan realized that his father was really determined to kill David.

†[NIV]But Saul hurled his spear at him to kill him. Then Jonathan knew that his father intended to kill David.

撒上20:34 于是约拿单气忿忿地从席上起来，在这初二日没有吃饭。他因见父亲羞辱大卫，就为大卫愁烦。

†[吕]于是约拿单气忿忿地从席间起来；在这初二日他没有吃饭；因为见他父亲侮辱了大卫，他就为大卫担忧。

†[思]约纳堂就起来，气愤愤地离开了席；初二那天，也没有吃饭，因为他为达味担忧，又因为他父亲辱骂了自己。

†[当代]约拿单怒气冲冲地离席，整天不肯进食，因为他看见父亲用这种手段对待大卫，心里非常难过。

†[新译]约拿单怒气冲冲地从席间退去，初二这天，他没有吃饭；因为他父亲羞辱了大卫，他就为大卫担忧。

†[Wlb]则忿然离席、月之二日不食、因其父辱大卫、而为之忧也、

†[Xdv]乔纳单气愤愤地从席间站起来，一天没吃东西──那天是初二。乔纳单为大卫的事非常难过，因为扫罗侮辱了他。

†[Kjv]So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.

†[Nkjv]So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.

†[BBE]So Jonathan got up from the table, burning with wrath, and took no part in the feast the second day of the month, being full of grief for David because his father had put shame on him.

†[GNT] Jonathan got up from the table in a rage and ate nothing that day - the second day of the New Moon Festival. He was deeply distressed about David, because Saul had insulted him.

†[NIV]Jonathan got up from the table in fierce anger; on that second day of the month he did not eat, because he was grieved at his father's shameful treatment of David.

本会注释　　为大卫愁烦。这件事让约拿单震惊醒悟。与父亲公开决裂是很痛苦的事。他与“耶西的儿子”共命运的决定受到了考验，但是他拒绝背离正义。约拿单象转离埃及宝座的摩西一样，“宁可和上帝的百姓同受苦害，也不愿暂时享受罪中之乐”（来11:25）。他通过经验知理解了基督后来所说的真理：“爱父母过于爱我的，不配作我的门徒”（太10:37）。

撒上20:35 次日早晨，约拿单按着与大卫约会的时候出到田野，有一个童子跟随。

†[吕]次日早晨、约拿单按着他和大卫所约会的出去到田野间，有一个小僮仆跟着他。

†[思]次日清晨，约纳堂按照他与达味的约会，往田间去了；有个童仆跟随着他。

†[当代]第二天早晨，约拿单依约带了拾箭的仆人到田间去。

†[新译]到了早晨，约拿单照着与大卫约定的时候，出到田里去，有一个小童与他在一起。

†[Wlb]诘朝、约拿单依前与大卫所约之时、出于田、一童偕之、

†[Xdv]第二天早晨，乔纳单照着先前约好的时间到田野去见大卫。他带着一个童子，

†[Kjv]And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.

†[Nkjv]And so it was, in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad was with him.

†[BBE]Now in the morning, Jonathan went out into the fields at the time he had said to David, and he had a little boy with him.

†[GNT] The following morning Jonathan went to the fields to meet David, as they had agreed. He took a young boy with him

†[NIV]In the morning Jonathan went out to the field for his meeting with David. He had a small boy with him,

本会注释　　一个童子。约拿单带上一个“童子”，弓与箭，掩饰了他去田野的目的。人们会认为他只是去打猎或练习射击。

撒上20:36 约拿单对童子说：“你跑去，把我所射的箭找来。”童子跑去，约拿单就把箭射在童子前头。

†[吕]约拿单对僮仆说：“你跑去、把我所射的箭找来。”僮仆跑去，约拿单就把箭射在僮仆前头。

†[思]他对那童仆说：“跑去，找所放的箭！”童仆往前跑时，他又向前放了一箭。

†[当代]来到田间，约拿单就吩咐那仆人说：“我把箭射出去，你跑去把它们拾回来吧。”于是，那仆人就向前跑去了，约拿单故意把箭射在他前面，

†[新译]他对那童仆说：“你跑去，把我所射的箭找回来。”那童仆跑去的时候，约拿单就把箭射到他前面。

†[Wlb]谓童子曰、尔其疾趋、寻我所射之矢、童趋之时、约拿单射矢过之、

†[Xdv]对他说：“你跑去找我射出的箭。”那童子就跑。乔纳单射了一支箭，越过他。

†[Kjv]And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

†[Nkjv]Then he said to his lad, "Now run, find the arrows which I shoot." As the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

†[BBE]And he said to the boy, Go and get the arrow I let loose from my bow. And while the boy was running, he sent an arrow past him.

†[GNT] and said to him, "Run and find the arrows I'm going to shoot." The boy ran, and Jonathan shot an arrow beyond him.

†[NIV]and he said to the boy, "Run and find the arrows I shoot." As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

撒上20:37 童子到了约拿单落箭之地，约拿单呼叫童子说：“箭不是在你前头吗？” (串)本章22

†[吕]僮仆到了约拿单所射的第一枝箭的地方，约拿单就在僮仆后面喊着说：“箭不是在你前头么？”

†[思]当僮仆来到约纳堂所射到的地方，约纳堂就在僮后面喊说：“箭不是在你前面吗？”

†[当代]那仆人跑到箭著地之处的时候，约拿单就故意大声叫道：“箭不是在你的前面吗？赶快去，赶快去，不要耽延了。”那仆人连忙把箭拾起来，跑回主人那里去。

†[新译]那童仆到了约拿单的箭射到的地方，约拿单就在那童仆的背后喊叫：“箭不是在你的前面吗？”

†[Wlb]童至其矢所射之处、约拿单呼曰、矢非过于尔乎、

†[Xdv]当他快到箭掉落的地方，乔纳单对他喊：

†[Kjv]And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?

†[Nkjv]When the lad had come to the place where the arrow was which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried out after the lad and said, "Is not the arrow beyond you?"

†[BBE]And when the boy came to the place where the arrow was, Jonathan, crying out after the boy, said, Has it not gone past you?

†[GNT] When the boy reached the place where the arrow had fallen, Jonathan shouted to him, "The arrow is farther on!

†[NIV]When the boy came to the place where Jonathan's arrow had fallen, Jonathan called out after him, "Isn't the arrow beyond you?"

撒上20:38 约拿单又呼叫童子说：“速速地去，不要迟延！”童子就拾起箭来，回到主人那里。

†[吕]约拿单又在僮仆后面喊着说：“加快赶紧吧，不要耽搁。”僮仆就把箭捡起来，回到他主人那里。

†[思]约纳堂又在僮仆后面喊说：“赶快跑去，不要站住！”约纳堂的僮仆就拾了箭，给主人拿来。

†[当代]－

†[新译]约拿单又在那童仆的背后喊叫：“赶快跑去！不要停留！”那童仆就把箭拾起来，回到他主人那里去。

†[Wlb]又呼曰、速往勿迟、童拾其矢、返诣厥主、

†[Xdv]“箭还在前面！不要站在那里，快跑！”童子把箭捡来，还给主人，

†[Kjv]And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.

†[Nkjv]And Jonathan cried out after the lad, "Make haste, hurry, do not delay!" So Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows and came back to his master.

†[BBE]And Jonathan went on crying out after the boy, Be quick, do not keep waiting about, go quickly. And Jonathan's boy got the arrow and came back to his master.

†[GNT] Don't just stand there! Hurry up!" The boy picked up the arrow and returned to his master,

†[NIV]Then he shouted, "Hurry! Go quickly! Don't stop!" The boy picked up the arrow and returned to his master.

本会注释　　速速地去。参22节。这句话是告诉大卫事态的极端严重性。

撒上20:39 童子却不知道这是什么意思，只有约拿单和大卫知道。

†[吕]僮仆却不知道什么意思；只有约拿单和大卫知道。

†[思]那僮仆却不知道是意思，只有约纳堂和达味知道。

†[当代]他当然不明白主人说话的用意，只有约拿单和大卫才知道是怎么一回事。

†[新译]那童仆一点也不知道这是什么意思，只有约拿单和大卫知道。

†[Wlb]童不知其意、惟约拿单大卫知之、

†[Xdv]一点都不知道那些话有什么意思，只有乔纳单和大卫知道。

†[Kjv]But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.

†[Nkjv]But the lad did not know anything. Only Jonathan and David knew of the matter.

†[BBE]But the boy had no idea what was going on; only Jonathan and David had knowledge of it.

†[GNT] not knowing what it all meant; only Jonathan and David knew.

†[NIV]The boy knew nothing of all this; only Jonathan and David knew.)

撒上20:40 约拿单将弓箭交给童子，吩咐说：“你拿到城里去。”

†[吕]约拿单将他的军器交给僮仆，对僮仆说：“你去吧，带进城去。”

†[思]然后约纳堂把自己的武器交给他的仆僮，向他说：“带回城去吧！”

†[当代]约拿单把弓箭交给那仆人，吩咐他带回城中，

†[新译]约拿单把自己的武器交给他的童仆，对他说：“你带回城里去吧！”

†[Wlb]约拿单以器械与童曰、携之入邑、

†[Xdv]乔纳单把弓箭交给那童子，叫他先带回城里去。

†[Kjv]And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.

†[Nkjv]Then Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad, and said to him, "Go, carry them to the city."

†[BBE]And Jonathan gave his bow and arrows to the boy, and said to him, Take these and go back to the town.

†[GNT] Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy and told him to take them back to town.

†[NIV]Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy and said, "Go, carry them back to town."

撒上20:41 童子一去，大卫就从磐石的南边出来，俯伏在地，拜了三拜；二人亲嘴，彼此哭泣，大卫哭得更恸。

†[吕]僮仆一去，大卫就从石头堆南边起来，面伏于地，连拜三次；二人互相亲咀，彼此哭泣；大卫哭的更悲惨。

†[新译]那童仆一离去，大卫就从石堆的南边起来，脸伏于地，叩拜了三次。二人互相亲嘴，相对哭泣，大卫哭得更悲痛。

†[Wlb]童既去、大卫自石之南而出、伏地三拜、彼此接吻、相向而哭、大卫尤甚、

†[Xdv]童子走了以后，大卫从石堆（希伯来文是：南面）后面出来，双膝跪下，对他叩三次头。他跟乔纳单亲吻哭泣，大卫比乔纳单更悲痛。

†[Kjv]And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.

†[Nkjv]As soon as the lad had gone, David arose from a place toward the south, fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down three times. And they kissed one another; and they wept together, but David more so.

†[BBE]And when the boy had gone, David came from his secret place by the hill, and falling to the earth went down on his face three times: and they gave one another a kiss, weeping together, till David's grief was the greater.

†[GNT] After the boy had left, David got up from behind the pile of stones, fell on his knees and bowed with his face to the ground three times. Both he and Jonathan were crying as they kissed each other; David's grief was even greater than Jonathan's.

†[NIV]After the boy had gone, David got up from the south side of the stone and bowed down before Jonathan three times, with his face to the ground. Then they kissed each other and wept together-but David wept the most.

本会注释　　大卫哭得更恸。直译是“大卫变为伟大。”这句话确切的意思不确定。七十士译本的意思是大卫哭得更久或更厉害。有人认为这是说大卫变得“伟大”或“刚强”，以应付前面的严酷考验。

撒上20:42 约拿单对大卫说：“我们二人曾指着耶和华的名起誓说：‘愿耶和华在你我中间，并你我后裔中间为证，直到永远。’如今你平平安安的去吧！”大卫就起身走了；约拿单也回城里去了。 (串)本章23|撒上1:17本章13

†[吕]约拿单对大卫说：“我们二人曾指着永恒主的名而起誓说：‘愿永恒主在你我之间、也在你后裔跟我后裔之间作证、直到永远’，如今你安心去吧。”大卫就起身走；约拿单也进城去。

†[思]最后，约纳堂对达味说：“你平安去吧！照我们两人以上主的名所起的誓：愿上主永远在我和你之间，在我的后代与你的后代之间！”

†[当代]约拿单说：“既然有主在你我以及我们的子孙之间为证，你就放心去吧。”大卫就离开田野，约拿单也回到城里去了。

†[新译]约拿单对大卫说：“你平平安安走吧！我们二人曾指着耶和华的名起誓说：‘愿耶和华在你我之间，也在我的后裔和你的后裔之间作证，直到永远。’”大卫就起身离开，约拿单也回城里去了（“大卫就起身离开，约拿单也回城里去了。

†[Wlb]约拿单谓大卫曰、安然而去、我侪二人曾指耶和华名而誓、愿耶和华在尔我间、及尔我后裔中、至于永世、大卫遂起而往、约拿单入于邑、

†[Xdv]乔纳单对大卫说：“上帝跟你同在！上主一定会使你我和你我的后代，永远信守我们间的盟约。”于是大卫离开了；乔纳单也回城里去。

†[Kjv]And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.

†[Nkjv]Then Jonathan said to David, "Go in peace, since we have both sworn in the name of the LORD, saying, "May the LORD be between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants, forever."' So he arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city

†[BBE]And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, for we two have taken an oath, in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord will be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever. Then David went away, and Jonathan went into the town.
