And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.

哈拿心里愁苦，就痛痛哭泣，祈祷耶和华，

And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.

哈拿回答说：“主啊，不是这样。我是心里愁苦的妇人，清酒浓酒都没有喝，但在耶和华面前倾心吐意。

And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.

妇人说：“主啊，我敢在你面前起誓，从前在你这里站着祈求耶和华的那妇人，就是我。

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;

这二祭司待百姓是这样的规矩：凡有人献祭，正煮肉的时候，祭司的仆人就来，手拿三齿的叉子，

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.

又在未烧脂油以前，祭司的仆人就来对献祭的人说：“将肉给祭司，叫他烤吧。他不要煮过的，要生的。”

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.

献祭的人若说：“必须先烧脂油，然后你可以随意取肉。”仆人就说：“你立时给我，不然我便抢去。”

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.

我必不从我坛前灭尽你家中的人；那未灭的必使你眼目干瘪、心中忧伤。你家中所生的人都必死在中年。

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.

我要为自己立一个忠心的祭司；他必照我的心意而行。我要为他建立坚固的家；他必永远行在我的受膏者面前。

And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.

耶和华的灵必大大感动你，你就与他们一同受感说话；你要变为新人。

And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.

扫罗到了那山，有一班先知遇见他，　神的灵大大感动他，他就在先知中受感说话。

And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.

扫罗听见这话，就被　神的灵大大感动，甚是发怒。

Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

撒母耳就用角里的膏油，在他诸兄中膏了他。从这日起，耶和华的灵就大大感动大卫。撒母耳起身回拉玛去了。

But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.

耶和华的灵离开扫罗，有恶魔从耶和华那里来扰乱他。

And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.

扫罗的臣仆对他说：“现在有恶魔从　神那里来扰乱你。

Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.

我们的主可以吩咐面前的臣仆，找一个善于弹琴的来，等　神那里来的恶魔临到你身上的时候，使他用手弹琴，你就好了。”

And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

从　神那里来的恶魔临到扫罗身上的时候，大卫就拿琴，用手而弹，扫罗便舒畅爽快，恶魔离了他。

And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.

非利士人又对大卫说：“来吧！我将你的肉给空中的飞鸟、田野的走兽吃。”

And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.

扫罗看见大卫去攻击非利士人，就问元帅押尼珥说：“押尼珥啊，那少年人是谁的儿子？”押尼珥说：“我敢在王面前起誓，我不知道。”

And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

大卫对扫罗说完了话，约拿单的心与大卫的心深相契合。约拿单爱大卫，如同爱自己的性命。

Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

约拿单爱大卫如同爱自己的性命，就与他结盟。

And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand.

次日，从　神那里来的恶魔大大降在扫罗身上，他就在家中胡言乱语。大卫照常弹琴，扫罗手里拿着枪。

For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?

他拚命杀那非利士人，耶和华为以色列众人大行拯救；那时你看见，甚是欢喜，现在为何无故要杀大卫，流无辜人的血，自己取罪呢？”

And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.

从耶和华那里来的恶魔又降在扫罗身上（扫罗手里拿枪坐在屋里），大卫就用手弹琴。

Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain.

扫罗打发人到大卫的房屋那里窥探他，要等到天亮杀他。大卫的妻米甲对他说：“你今夜若不逃命，明日你要被杀。”

And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

扫罗打发人去捉拿大卫。去的人见有一班先知都受感说话，撒母耳站在其中监管他们；打发去的人也受　神的灵感动说话。

And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

他就往拉玛的拿约去。　神的灵也感动他，一面走一面说话，直到拉玛的拿约。

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?

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？”

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 death.

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。”

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

约拿单对大卫说：“你心里所求的，我必为你成就。”

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

约拿单因爱大卫如同爱自己的性命，就使他再起誓。

And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.

凡受窘迫的、欠债的、心里苦恼的都聚集到大卫那里；大卫就作他们的头目，跟随他的约有四百人。

And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father's house.

大卫对亚比亚他说：“那日我见以东人多益在那里，就知道他必告诉扫罗。你父的全家丧命，都是因我的缘故。

Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.

你可以住在我这里，不要惧怕。因为寻索你命的就是寻索我的命；你在我这里可得保全。”

And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.

大卫知道扫罗出来寻索他的命。那时，他住在西弗旷野的树林里；

Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king's hand.

王啊，请你随你的心愿下来，我们必亲自将他交在王的手里。”

The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.

愿耶和华在你我中间判断是非，在你身上为我伸冤，我却不亲手加害于你。

Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

我主啊，耶和华既然阻止你亲手报仇，取流血的罪，所以我指着永生的耶和华、又敢在你面前起誓说：‘愿你的仇敌和谋害你的人都像拿八一样。’

Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.

虽有人起来追逼你，寻索你的性命，你的性命却在耶和华你的　神那里蒙保护，如包裹宝器一样；你仇敌的性命，耶和华必抛去，如用机弦甩石一样。

Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.

扫罗说：“我有罪了！我儿大卫，你可以回来，因你今日看我的性命为宝贵；我必不再加害于你。我是糊涂人，大大错了。”

And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.

我今日重看你的性命，愿耶和华也重看我的性命，并且拯救我脱离一切患难。”

And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?

妇人对他说：“你知道扫罗从国中剪除交鬼的和行巫术的。你为何陷害我的性命，使我死呢？”

And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me.

妇人到扫罗面前，见他极其惊恐，对他说：“婢女听从你的话，不顾惜自己的性命，遵从你所吩咐的。

And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

大卫甚是焦急，因众人为自己的儿女苦恼，说：“要用石头打死他。”大卫却倚靠耶和华他的　神，心里坚固。

And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.

又给他一块无花果饼，两个葡萄饼。他吃了，就精神复原；因为他三日三夜没有吃饼，没有喝水。

And they put his armor in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.

又将扫罗的军装放在亚斯他录庙里，将他的尸身钉在伯·珊的城墙上。

All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.

他们中间所有的勇士就起身，走了一夜，将扫罗和他儿子的尸身从伯·珊城墙上取下来，送到雅比那里，用火烧了；

He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me.

他说：‘请你来，将我杀死；因为痛苦抓住我，我的生命尚存。’

And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a league with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.

押尼珥对大卫说：“我要起身去招聚以色列众人来见我主我王，与你立约，你就可以照着心愿作王。”于是大卫送押尼珥去，押尼珥就平平安安地去了。

And they brought the head of Ishbosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.

And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

大卫对比录人临门的儿子利甲和他兄弟巴拿说：“我指着救我性命脱离一切苦难、永生的耶和华起誓：

Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

以色列众支派来到希伯仑见大卫，说：“我们原是你的骨肉。

And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

当日，大卫说：“谁攻打耶布斯人，当上水沟攻打我心里所恨恶的瘸子、瞎子。”从此有俗语说：“在那里有瞎子、瘸子，他不能进屋去。”

And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.

乌利亚对大卫说：“约柜和以色列与犹大兵都住在棚里，我主约押和我主（或译：王）的仆人都在田野安营，我岂可回家吃喝、与妻子同寝呢？我敢在王面前起誓（原文是我指着王和王的性命起誓）：我决不行这事！”

And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they shall quench my coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth.

现在全家的人都起来攻击婢女，说：‘你将那打死兄弟的交出来，我们好治死他，偿他打死兄弟的命，灭绝那承受家业的。’这样，他们要将我剩下的炭火灭尽，不与我丈夫留名留后在世上。”

For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.

我们都是必死的，如同水泼在地上，不能收回。　神并不夺取人的性命，乃设法使逃亡的人不致成为赶出、回不来的。

And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid:

And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.

大卫又对亚比筛和众臣仆说：“我亲生的儿子尚且寻索我的性命，何况这便雅悯人呢？由他咒骂吧！因为这是耶和华吩咐他的。

For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.

户筛又说：“你知道，你父亲和跟随他的人都是勇士，现在他们心里恼怒，如同田野丢崽子的母熊一般，而且你父亲是个战士，必不和民一同住宿。

Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me.

我若妄为害了他的性命，就是你自己也必与我为敌（原来，无论何事都瞒不过王。）”

And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines;

约押进去见王，说：“你今日使你一切仆人脸面惭愧了！他们今日救了你的性命和你儿女妻妾的性命，

你们是我的弟兄，是我的骨肉，为什么在人后头请王回来呢？’

And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.

说：“耶和华啊，这三个人冒死去打水；这水好像他们的血一般，我断不敢喝。”如此，大卫不肯喝。这是三个勇士所做的事。

Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.

And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,

王起誓说：“我指着救我性命脱离一切苦难、永生的耶和华起誓。

That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.

Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.

And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;

神对他说：“你既然求这事，不为自己求寿、求富，也不求灭绝你仇敌的性命，单求智慧可以听讼，

And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:

And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.

席上的珍馐美味，群臣分列而坐，仆人两旁侍立，以及他们的衣服装饰和酒政的衣服装饰，又见他上耶和华殿的台阶（或译：他在耶和华殿里所献的燔祭），就诧异得神不守舍；

And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.

以利亚三次伏在孩子的身上，求告耶和华说：“耶和华我的　神啊，求你使这孩子的灵魂仍入他的身体！”

And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.

耶和华应允以利亚的话，孩子的灵魂仍入他的身体，他就活了。

And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.

恐怕我一离开你，耶和华的灵就提你到我所不知道的地方去。这样，我去告诉亚哈，他若找不着你，就必杀我；仆人却是自幼敬畏耶和华的。

And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.

霎时间，天因风云黑暗，降下大雨。亚哈就坐车往耶斯列去了。

But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.

自己在旷野走了一日的路程，来到一棵罗腾树下（罗腾，小树名，松类；下同），就坐在那里求死，说：“耶和华啊，罢了！求你取我的性命，因为我不胜于我的列祖。”

And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

他说：“我为耶和华万军之　神大发热心；因为以色列人背弃了你的约，毁坏了你的坛，用刀杀了你的先知，只剩下我一个人，他们还要寻索我的命。”

And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:

耶和华说：“你出来站在山上，在我面前。”那时耶和华从那里经过，在他面前有烈风大作，崩山碎石，耶和华却不在风中；风后地震，耶和华却不在其中；

And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

他说：“我为耶和华万军之　神大发热心；因为以色列人背弃了你的约，毁坏了你的坛，用刀杀了你的先知，只剩下我一个人，他们还要寻索我的命。”

And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.

And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.

他的臣仆对他说：“我们听说以色列王都是仁慈的王，现在我们不如腰束麻布，头套绳索，出去投降以色列王，或者他存留王的性命。”

So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Benhadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.

于是他们腰束麻布，头套绳索，去见以色列王，说：“王的仆人便·哈达说，求王存留我的性命。”亚哈说：“他还活着吗？他是我的兄弟。”

And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.

王从那里经过，他向王呼叫说：“仆人在阵上的时候，有人带了一个人来，对我说：‘你看守这人，若把他失了，你的性命必代替他的性命；不然，你必交出一他连得银子来。’

And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.

But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?

王后耶洗别来问他说：“你为什么心里这样忧闷，不吃饭呢？”

And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

亚哈听见这话，就撕裂衣服，禁食，身穿麻布，睡卧也穿着麻布，并且缓缓而行。

And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.

随后有一个神灵出来，站在耶和华面前，说：‘我去引诱他。’

And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

耶和华问他说：‘你用何法呢？’他说：‘我去，要在他众先知口中作谎言的灵。’耶和华说：‘这样，你必能引诱他，你去如此行吧！’

Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.

Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.

Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.

Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:

王后以斯帖回答说：“我若在王眼前蒙恩，王若以为美，我所愿的，是愿王将我的性命赐给我；我所求的，是求王将我的本族赐给我。

And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.

王便大怒，起来离开酒席往御园去了。哈曼见王定意要加罪与他，就起来，求王后以斯帖救命。

Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,

谕旨中，王准各省各城的犹大人在一日之间，十二月，就是亚达月十三日，聚集保护性命，剪除杀戮灭绝那要攻击犹大人的一切仇敌和他们的妻子儿女，夺取他们的财为掠物。

But the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,

在王各省其余的犹大人也都聚集保护性命，杀了恨他们的人七万五千，却没有下手夺取财物。这样，就脱离仇敌，得享平安。

To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.

劝他们按时守这“普珥日”，禁食呼求，是照犹大人末底改和王后以斯帖所嘱咐的，也照犹大人为自己与后裔所应承的。

And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.

撒但回答耶和华说：“人以皮代皮，情愿舍去一切所有的，保全性命。

But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

你且伸手伤他的骨头和他的肉，他必当面弃掉你。”

And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.

耶和华对撒但说：“他在你手中，只要存留他的性命。”

Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;

“受患难的人为何有光赐给他呢？心中愁苦的人为何有生命赐给他呢？

By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.

神一出气，他们就灭亡；　神一发怒，他们就消没。

Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:

有灵从我面前经过，我身上的毫毛直立。

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.

因全能者的箭射入我身；其毒，我的灵喝尽了；　神的惊吓摆阵攻击我。

The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.

看为可厌的食物，我心不肯挨近。

What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?

我有什么气力使我等候？我有什么结局使我忍耐？

Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?

我的气力岂是石头的气力？我的肉身岂是铜的呢？

Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?

绝望人的讲论既然如风，你们还想要驳正言语吗？

My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.

我的肉体以虫子和尘土为衣；我的皮肤才收了口又重新破裂。

O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.

“求你想念，我的生命不过是一口气；我的眼睛必不再见福乐。

Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

“我不禁止我口；我灵愁苦，要发出言语；我心苦恼，要吐露哀情。

So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.

甚至我宁肯噎死，宁肯死亡，胜似留我这一身的骨头。

How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?

“这些话你要说到几时？口中的言语如狂风要到几时呢？

He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.

我就是喘一口气，他都不容，倒使我满心苦恼。

Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.

我本完全，不顾自己；我厌恶我的性命。

My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

“我厌烦我的性命，必由着自己述说我的哀情；因心里苦恼，我要说话，

Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?

你的眼岂是肉眼？你查看岂像人查看吗？

Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.

你以皮和肉为衣给我穿上，用骨与筋把我全体联络。

Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

你将生命和慈爱赐给我；你也眷顾保全我的心灵。

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.

但恶人的眼目必要失明。他们无路可逃；他们的指望就是气绝。”

In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.

凡活物的生命和人类的气息都在他手中。

Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?

我何必把我的肉挂在牙上，将我的命放在手中。

But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.

但知身上疼痛，心中悲哀。”

Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?

“智慧人岂可用虚空的知识回答，用东风充满肚腹呢？

That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?

使你的灵反对　神，也任你的口发这言语？

He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.

他不得出离黑暗。火焰要将他的枝子烧干；因　神口中的气，他要灭亡（原文是走去）。

Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?

虚空的言语有穷尽吗？有什么话惹动你回答呢？

I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.

我也能说你们那样的话；你们若处在我的境遇，我也会联络言语攻击你们，又能向你们摇头。

My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.

“我的心灵消耗，我的日子灭尽；坟墓为我预备好了。

He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?

你这恼怒将自己撕裂的，难道大地为你见弃、磐石挪开原处吗？

How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?

“你们搅扰我的心，用言语压碎我要到几时呢？

My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.

我口的气味，我妻子厌恶；我的恳求，我同胞也憎嫌。

My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.

我的皮肉紧贴骨头；我只剩牙皮逃脱了。

Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

你们为什么仿佛　神逼迫我，吃我的肉还以为不足呢？

And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

我这皮肉灭绝之后，我必在肉体之外得见　神。

I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.

我已听见那羞辱我，责备我的话；我的悟性叫我回答。

As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?

我岂是向人诉冤？为何不焦急呢？

Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.

我每逢思想，心就惊惶，浑身战兢。

They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.

他们何尝像风前的碎秸，如暴风刮去的糠秕呢？

And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.

有人至死心中痛苦，终身未尝福乐的滋味；

But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.

只是他心志已定，谁能使他转意呢？他心里所愿的，就行出来。

Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.

在多民的城内有人唉哼，受伤的人哀号；　神却不理会那恶人的愚妄。

To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

你向谁发出言语来？谁的灵从你而出？

By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

藉他的灵使天有妆饰；他的手刺杀快蛇。

As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;

“　神夺去我的理，全能者使我心中愁苦。我指着永生的　神起誓：

All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

我的生命尚在我里面；　神所赐呼吸之气仍在我的鼻孔内。

For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

不敬虔的人虽然得利，　神夺取其命的时候还有什么指望呢？

To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.

要为风定轻重，又度量诸水；

Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.

惊恐临到我，驱逐我的尊荣如风；我的福禄如云过去。

And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.

“现在我心极其悲伤；困苦的日子将我抓住。

Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.

把我提在风中，使我驾风而行，又使我消灭在烈风中。

Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?

人遭难，我岂不为他哭泣呢？人穷乏，我岂不为他忧愁呢？

Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.

我没有容口犯罪，咒诅他的生命；

If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.

若我帐棚的人未尝说，谁不以主人的食物吃饱呢？

If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:

我若吃地的出产不给价值，或叫原主丧命；

Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

那时有布西人兰族巴拉迦的儿子以利户向约伯发怒；因约伯自以为义，不以　神为义。

But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

但在人里面有灵；全能者的气使人有聪明。

For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

因为我的言语满怀；我里面的灵激动我。

The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

神的灵造我；全能者的气使我得生。

He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

拦阻人不陷于坑里，不死在刀下。

So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.

以致他的口厌弃食物，心厌恶美味。

His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.

他的肉消瘦，不得再见；先前不见的骨头都凸出来。

Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.

他的灵魂临近深坑；他的生命近于灭命的。

His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:

他的肉要比孩童的肉更嫩；他就返老还童。

He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

神救赎我的灵魂免入深坑；我的生命也必见光。’

To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.

为要从深坑救回人的灵魂，使他被光照耀，与活人一样。

If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

他若专心为己，将灵和气收归自己，

All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.

凡有血气的就必一同死亡；世人必仍归尘土。

They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.

必在青年时死亡，与污秽人一样丧命。

By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

神嘘气成冰；宽阔之水也都凝结。

And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

“现在有云遮蔽，人不得见穹苍的光亮；但风吹过，天又发晴。

One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

这鳞甲一一相连，甚至气不得透入其间，

His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

它的气点着煤炭，有火焰从它口中发出。

The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

它的肉块互相联络，紧贴其身，不能摇动。
