撒母耳记下 5.1-12

0:00

5:1 以色列众支派来到希伯仑见大卫，说，看哪，我们是你的骨肉。

Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron; and they spoke, saying, Here we are; we are your bone and your flesh.

5:2 从前扫罗作我们王的时候，率领以色列人出入的是你；耶和华曾对你说，你必牧养我的民以色列，作以色列的领袖。

Even previously, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. And Jehovah said to you, You shall shepherd My people Israel, and you shall be ruler over Israel.

5:3 于是以色列的长老都来到希伯仑见大卫王，大卫王在希伯仑耶和华面前与他们立约，他们就膏大卫作以色列的王。

And all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron. And King David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah, and they anointed David king over Israel.

5:4 大卫登基的时候年三十岁，作王四十年；

David was thirty years old when he began to reign; he reigned forty years.

5:5 在希伯仑作犹大王七年零六个月，在耶路撒冷作全以色列和犹大王三十三年。

In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

5:6 大卫王和跟随他的人到了耶路撒冷，要攻打住在那地的耶布斯人。耶布斯人对大卫说，你不能进这里来，就是瞎子和瘸子也会把你赶走！(他们心里想，大卫绝不能进这里来。)

And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land. And they spoke to David, saying, You shall not come in here: Even the blind and the lame will drive you back! (thinking, David cannot come in here.)

5:7 然而大卫攻取了锡安的保障，就是如今的大卫城。

But David took the stronghold of Zion, which is now the city of David.

5:8 当日，大卫说，谁攻打耶布斯人，当上水道攻打大卫心里所恨恶的瘸子和瞎子。因此有俗语说，瞎子和瘸子必不得进殿里去。

And David said on that day, Whoever would strike the Jebusites, let him go up to the watercourse and strike the lame and the blind, who are hated by David's soul. Therefore they say, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

5:9 大卫住在保障里，称保障为大卫城。大卫又从米罗往里，周围筑墙。

So David dwelt in the stronghold and called it the city of David. And David built all around from the Millo and inward.

5:10 大卫日见强大，耶和华万军之神与他同在。

And David became greater and greater; and Jehovah the God of hosts was with him.

5:11 推罗王希兰差遣使者来见大卫，并且将香柏木和木匠、石匠送来，给大卫建造宫殿。

And Hiram the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, as well as cedar timbers and carpenters and masons; and they built David a house.

5:12 大卫就知道耶和华已经坚立他作以色列王，又为祂自己的民以色列的缘故，高举了他的国。

And David perceived that Jehovah had established him as king over Israel and that He had exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
