撒母耳记上第2章

《圣经》撒母耳记上-第2章

撒上2:1 哈拿祷告说：我的心因耶和华快乐；我的角因耶和华高举。我的口向仇敌张开；我因耶和华的救恩欢欣。 (串)本章1-10路1:46-53|诗89:17,24;148:14|诗9:14;35:9

†[吕]哈拿祷告说：“我的心因永恒主而欢乐；我的角因永恒主而高举；我的口张开而嘲笑仇敌；因为我以你的拯救而欢喜。

†[思]亚纳祈祷说：“我从心喜乐于上主，我的头因上主而高仰；我可开口嘲笑我的敌人，因为我喜乐于你的救助。

†[当代]以下是哈拿的祷词：“我在主里是多么的快乐啊！祂赐我力量，使我可以振振有辞地站在敌人面前了。主啊，你解决了我的问题，我是多么快乐啊！

†[新译]哈拿祷告说：“我的心因耶和华喜乐，我的角因耶和华高举，我的口向仇敌大大夸耀，因为我以你的救恩为乐。

†[Wlb]哈拿祷曰、我心因耶和华欢悦、我角因耶和华峥嵘、我口向敌而孔张、因尔拯救而喜乐、

†[Xdv]哈娜祷告说：上主使我心里充满喜乐；上主使我抬得起头。我向敌人发笑，因上帝帮助我，使我快乐。

†[Kjv]And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.

†[Nkjv]And Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the LORD; My horn is exalted in the LORD. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.

†[BBE]And Hannah, in prayer before the Lord, said, My heart is glad in the Lord, my horn is lifted up in the Lord: my mouth is open wide over my haters; because my joy is in your salvation.

†[GNT] Hannah prayed: "The Lord has filled my heart with joy; how happy I am because of what he has done! I laugh at my enemies; how joyful I am because God has helped me!

†[NIV]Then Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the Lord; in the Lord my horn is lifted high. My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance.

本会注释　　因耶和华快乐。这第二次的访问示罗与第1章中记载的那一次性质完全不同。那时哈拿的负担是为自己祈求；现在却是一篇伟大的赞美祈祷。作为她完全顺服上帝的结果，她很高兴有特权将她的创造主所赐给她的再还给祂。在这样做时，她体验了喜乐的最高境界，因为她岂不是学会了以一种新的方式赏识祂的慈爱吗？她赞美上帝是仁慈怜悯的创造者，显明在祂对无助者的同情中。她对祂的能力有了新的见识，这能力现在显明在祂对自然界隐秘势力的控制之中，在祂对使她灰心失败的邪恶势力的默然抵消之中，在祂使原本险恶的环境无限量地促成她深厚而完全的喜乐之中。她重新理解了上帝与她的先祖们所立的约，就是上帝的儿女应该成为列国的祝福。哈拿的喜乐之歌是一个关于大卫和弥赛亚的灵感预言（《先祖与先知》572页）。
　　哈拿的经历可能是临到毗尼拿人生的最大祝福。上帝急于拯救毗尼拿，就象祂要拯救哈拿一样。要实现这个目的，还有什么比抬举一个信靠祂的人而不以恶报恶更有效呢？这就是基督在设法赢得长大麻风的西门时所用的方法——藉着显示临到抹大拉的马利亚的祝福（可14:3-9；路7:37-50）。西门学到了他的教训，并成了一个热心的门徒（《历代愿望》567,568页）。毗尼拿学到她的教训了吗？

撒上2:2 只有耶和华为圣；除他以外没有可比的，也没有磐石象我们的上帝。 (串)代下6:14诗86:8|申32:31

†[吕]没有圣者像永恒主；除了你以外没有别的；也没有磐石像我们的上帝。

†[思]没有圣者，相似上主；除了你以外，没有另一位；没有磐石，相似我们的天主。

†[当代]没有人可以像主一般圣洁，除了祂以外，再没有别的神可以跟祂比较，也没有别的磐石像祂一样稳固。

†[新译]没有人像耶和华那么圣洁，因为除你以外没有别的神，也没有磐石像我们的　神。

†[Wlb]惟耶和华为圣、无如之者、其外无他、无有磐石、似我上帝、

†[Xdv]惟有上主神圣；除他以外，没有圣者。我们的上帝是惟一的护卫者。

†[Kjv]There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

†[Nkjv]"No one is holy like the LORD, For there is none besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.

†[BBE]No other is holy as the Lord, for there is no other God but you: there is no Rock like our God.

†[GNT] "No one is holy like the Lord; there is none like him, no protector like our God.

†[NIV]There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.

撒上2:3 人不要夸口说骄傲的话，也不要出狂妄的言语；因耶和华是大有智识的上帝，人的行为被他衡量。

†[吕]不要夸口说高傲的话，不要口出傲慢之言，因为永恒主是无所不知的上帝，人的行为都被他衡量。

†[思]你们别再叁说诳言，别口出豪语；上主是全知的天主，人的行为由他衡量。

†[当代]别再骄横傲慢、口出狂言了，因为主是鉴察万事的，祂会按著人的行为施行审判。

†[新译]你们不要多说骄傲的话，也不要口出狂妄之言，因为耶和华是全知的　神，人的一切行为他都鉴察。

†[Wlb]勿复出言骄矜、勿容口发狂妄、盖耶和华为睿智之上帝、人之所行、为彼所衡、

†[Xdv]你们不要再发狂傲的声音；你们不要再说狂妄的话语。因上主是洞悉一切的上帝；他审断人的行为。

†[Kjv]Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

†[Nkjv]"Talk no more so very proudly; Let no arrogance come from your mouth, For the LORD is the God of knowledge; And by Him actions are weighed.

†[BBE]Say no more words of pride; let not uncontrolled sayings come out of your mouths: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, by him acts are judged.

†[GNT] Stop your loud boasting; silence your proud words. For the Lord is a God who knows, and he judges all that people do.

†[NIV]Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the Lord is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed.

本会注释　　不要狂妄。鉴于临到哈拿的奇妙经验，她原可对毗尼拿怀有个人的优越感。但是这些经文岂不是说明哈拿希望她的对手可以看到完全顺服上帝的美，并认识到狂妄的无益吗？的确，在上帝这样维护她谦卑的奉献之后，没有人会指责哈拿对毗尼拿有“我比你圣洁”的态度。如同基督声泪俱下地宣布了法利赛人的八祸（《拾级就主》13页；《历代愿望》619,620页），哈拿把撒母耳献给上帝的自我牺牲精神岂不会感动毗尼拿的心，使她重新明白上帝如何衡量人的行为吗？那些象毗尼拿那样感到自己力量强大的人，必收获自私的果子，就是属灵的死亡。但是即使属灵上死亡的人，祂也能使他们活过来。基督给了犹大跟彼得一样的机会，然而一个顺服了，另一个却没有。

撒上2:4 勇士的弓都已折断；跌倒的人以力量束腰。 (串)诗37:15;76:3

†[吕]勇士的弓被折断；疲弱的人以气力束腰。

†[思]壮士的弓已被折断，衰弱者反而力量倍增。

†[当代]威猛的不再有能力，软弱的反倒变成强者。

†[新译]勇士的弓都被折断，跌倒的人却以力量束腰。

†[Wlb]勇士折其弓、踬者束以力、

†[Xdv]勇士的弓折断；软弱的人变为强壮。

†[Kjv]The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

†[Nkjv]"The bows of the mighty men are broken, And those who stumbled are girded with strength.

†[BBE]The bows of the men of war are broken, and the feeble are clothed with strength.

†[GNT] The bows of strong soldiers are broken, but the weak grow strong.

†[NIV]The bows of the warriors are broken, but those who stumbled are armed with strength.

撒上2:5 素来饱足的，反作用人求食；饥饿的，再不饥饿。不生育的，生了七个儿子；多有儿女的，反倒衰微。 (串)诗113:9赛54:1|耶15:9

†[吕]饱足的必作佣人去求食；饥饿的不再饥饿；不能生育的生了七个儿子；多有儿女的反倒衰萎。

†[思]曾享饱饫的，今工求食；曾受饿的，今无须劳役；不妊的今生了七子，多产者反而生育停顿。

†[当代]平素饱足的现在要捱饿，本是捱饿的却不再捱饿。不育的妇人现在生有七个孩子，但儿女成群的却一无所有。

†[新译]饱足的，要劳碌觅食，饥饿的，不再饥饿；不能生育的，生了七个儿女，有过许多儿女的，反倒衰微。

†[Wlb]素饱足者为佣得食、饥饿者不复饥、不育者乃产七子、多子者反致衰弱、

†[Xdv]富足的人反为食物劳碌；饥饿的人不再饥饿。不育的妻子生了七个儿女；多产的母亲丧尽了子女。

†[Kjv]They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

†[Nkjv]Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, And the hungry have ceased to hunger. Even the barren has borne seven, And she who has many children has become feeble.

†[BBE]Those who were full are offering themselves as servants for bread; those who were in need are at rest; truly, she who had no children has become the mother of seven; and she who had a family is wasted with sorrow.

†[GNT] The people who once were well fed now hire themselves out to get food, but the hungry are hungry no more. The childless wife has borne seven children, but the mother of many is left with none.

†[NIV]Those who were full hire themselves out for food, but those who were hungry hunger no more. She who was barren has borne seven children, but she who has had many sons pines away.

撒上2:6 耶和华使人死，也使人活，使人下阴间，也使人往上升。 (串)申32:39王下5:7

†[吕]永恒主使人死，也使人活；使人下阴间，也使人上来。

†[思]上主使人死，也使人活；使人降入阴府，也将人由阴府提出；

†[当代]主权操生死，能起死回生。

†[新译]耶和华使人死，也使人活；使人下阴间，也使人从阴间上来。

†[Wlb]耶和华杀人生人、使人归墓、使人复起、

†[Xdv]上主能使人死，也能使人活；他使人下阴间，也使人再回来。

†[Kjv]The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

†[Nkjv]"The LORD kills and makes alive; He brings down to the grave and brings up.

†[BBE]The Lord is the giver of death and life: sending men down to the underworld and lifting them up.

†[GNT] The Lord kills and restores to life; he sends people to the world of the dead and brings them back again.

†[NIV]The Lord brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up.

撒上2:7 他使人贫穷，也使人富足，使人卑微，也使人高贵。 (串)伯1:21|伯5:11诗75:6,7路1:52

†[吕]永恒主使人穷乏，也使人富足；使人降低，也使人升高。

†[思]上主使人穷，也使人富；贬抑人，也举扬人；

†[当代]祂可以反贫为富；贬低、抬高都在乎祂。

†[新译]耶和华使人贫穷，也使人富足；使人降卑，也使人升高。

†[Wlb]耶和华使人贫、使人富、使人卑微、使人高显、

†[Xdv]他使一些人贫穷，一些人富足；他使一些人卑微，一些人尊贵。

†[Kjv]The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

†[Nkjv]The LORD makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and lifts up.

†[BBE]The Lord gives wealth and takes a man's goods from him: crushing men down and again lifting them up;

†[GNT] He makes some people poor and others rich; he humbles some and makes others great.

†[NIV]The Lord sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts.

本会注释　　使人贫穷，也使人富足。哈拿看出是上帝把她从指责中拯救出来的。祂已提拔她远远高过毗尼拿的嘲弄。从前的忧伤现在变成了在上帝里的喜乐满怀。渴望的祈求已让位于对神圣力量的赞美。她的嘴唇，从前因默默忍耐而紧闭，现在却张开要赞美上帝的全能。她认为自己的经验代表了上帝为祂的子民个别和集体所取得的胜利。她感到歌颂的灵感远远超过她自己的经验范围，并在圣灵的指导之下期盼蒙赎之民站在玻璃海上口唱“新歌”（启14:3）的喜乐。哈拿感到的这种喜乐不是自私的快乐，而是对上帝品格的更多理解，就象那在创世时使“上帝的众子”欢呼的喜乐一样（伯38:7），或象以色列人在红海从埃及军队中被拯救出来的那种喜乐，或象基督降生时众天军欢呼“在至高之处荣耀归与上帝，在地上平安归于他所喜悦的人”时的喜乐（路2:14）。在家里的嘲笑和痛苦正是培育对上帝的救恩有这种远见的环境，好在地上展现天国。哈拿有天国在她心中，因为她已经学会了象基督一样爱世人（见《历代愿望》331,641页）。

撒上2:8 他从灰尘里抬举贫寒人，从粪堆中提拔穷乏人，使他们与王子同坐，得着荣耀的座位。地的柱子属于耶和华；他将世界立在其上。 (串)诗107:41;113:7|伯36:7诗113:8|伯38:4-6诗24:2;102:25

†[吕]他抬举了贫寒人出灰尘，提拔了穷苦人出灰堆，使他们和王子同坐，承继荣显的座位；地的柱子属于永恒主；他将世界立在那上面。

†[思]上主由尘埃中提拔卑贱者，从粪土中高举贫穷者，使他与王侯同席，承受光荣座位；大地的支柱原属上主，支柱上奠定了世界。

†[当代]祂在卑微中提拔贫穷的人，从灰烬中救拔他们；并且待他们有如王子，让他们安坐在尊荣的座位上。大地的根基属于主，祂把世界安放在根基之上。

†[新译]他从灰尘中抬举贫寒的人，从粪堆中提拔穷乏的人，使他们与显贵同坐，承受尊贵的座位。大地的柱子属于耶和华，他把全地安放在柱子上面。

†[Wlb]举贫贱者于尘埃、拔匮乏者于粪壤、使坐牧伯之间、俾嗣尊荣之位、盖地之柱属耶和华、立宇宙于其上、

†[Xdv]他从灰尘中提升穷苦人；他从粪堆里抬举贫乏人。他使他们作王子的友伴，使他们得荣耀光彩。地的根基是上主所立；他在上面建立了世界。

†[Kjv]He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them.

†[Nkjv]He raises the poor from the dust And lifts the beggar from the ash heap, To set them among princes And make them inherit the throne of glory. "For the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, And He has set the world upon them.

†[BBE]Lifting the poor out of the dust, and him who is in need out of the lowest place, to give them their place among rulers, and for their heritage the seat of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's and he has made them the base of the world.

†[GNT] He lifts the poor from the dust and raises the needy from their misery. He makes them companions of princes and puts them in places of honor. The foundations of the earth belong to the Lord; on them he has built the world.

†[NIV]He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor. "For the foundations of the earth are the Lord 's; upon them he has set the world.

本会注释　　祂抬举。藉着上帝的能力，曾自觉无能的基督徒的心灵就被抬举在自私的势力之上。这样的人既已装备了从上头来的力量，就发现过去的怀疑、恐惧和试探都被摧毁了。胜利代替了失败，心灵在充足的喜乐中形成了基督的形象。

撒上2:9 他必保护圣民的脚步，使恶人在黑暗中寂然不动；人都不能靠力量得胜。 (串)诗121:5

†[吕]他必保护他坚贞之民（或译：坚贞之士）的脚步，使恶人在黑暗中消灭死寂；因为人得胜、不是靠着势力。

†[思]他保护虔诚者的脚步，使恶人在黑暗中灭亡，因为人决不能凭己力获胜，

†[当代]祂保守那些圣洁的人；恶人却要在黑暗中声沉影寂，因为单凭勇力是不能成功的。

†[新译]耶和华必保护虔诚人的脚步，却使恶人在黑暗中灭亡，因为人得胜不是靠着力量。

†[Wlb]彼之圣民、必护卫其步履、使恶人缄默于幽暗、盖恃力者、无有得胜也、

†[Xdv]上主看顾忠信子民的脚步；邪恶的人要在黑暗中消失。人不能靠自己的力量取胜。

†[Kjv]He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

†[Nkjv]He will guard the feet of His saints, But the wicked shall be silent in darkness. "For by strength no man shall prevail.

†[BBE]He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the evil-doers will come to their end in the dark night, for by strength no man will overcome.

†[GNT] "He protects the lives of his faithful people, but the wicked disappear in darkness; a man does not triumph by his own strength.

†[NIV]He will guard the feet of his saints, but the wicked will be silenced in darkness. "It is not by strength that one prevails;

撒上2:10 与耶和华争竞的，必被打碎；耶和华必从天上以雷攻击他，必审判地极的人，将力量赐与所立的王，高举受膏者的角。 (串)诗2:9赛30:14耶19:11|撒上7:10撒下22:14,15诗18:13;29:3|诗96:10,13;98:9|本章1诗89:24

†[吕]永恒主必打碎他的敌人；至高者永恒主在天必大发雷霆。永恒主必惩罚地极的人；将力量赐给他所立的王，高举他所膏立者的角。”

†[思]那与上主敌对的必被粉碎。至高者在天主鸣雷，上主要裁判地极，赐予自己的君王能力，高举受傅者的冠冕。”

†[当代]祂所膏抹的人。”

†[新译]至高者在天上打雷，耶和华必打碎与他作对的人。耶和华要审判地的四极，却要赐力量给他所立的王，高举他膏立之人的角。”

†[Wlb]与耶和华争者、必被击碎、彼必自天以雷击之、耶和华将行鞫于地极、赐力于其王、高其受膏者之角、

†[Xdv]上主要除灭自己的仇敌；他要从天上雷击他们。上主要审判全世界。他要赐能力给他所立的王，使自己选立的君王胜利。

†[Kjv]The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

†[Nkjv]The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken in pieces; From heaven He will thunder against them. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth. "He will give strength to His king, And exalt the horn of His anointed."

†[BBE]Those who make war against the Lord will be broken; against them he will send his thunder from heaven: the Lord will be judge of the ends of the earth, he will give strength to his king, lifting up the horn of him on whom the holy oil has been put.

†[GNT] The Lord's enemies will be destroyed; he will thunder against them from heaven. The Lord will judge the whole world; he will give power to his king, he will make his chosen king victorious."

†[NIV]those who oppose the Lord will be shattered. He will thunder against them from heaven; the Lord will judge the ends of the earth. "He will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed."

本会注释　　赐力量与所立的王。多年以来，哈拿一直仿佛对着镜子观看，模糊不清（林前13:12），但是现在通过预言的远见，她讲述自己对基督最终完全得胜的信心。因为上帝已经高举了她的“角”，所以祂也必高举祂的受膏者的“角”（见腓2:9-11）。许多生活在这末后世代的人，难道不可以让上帝也这样把他们所处的险恶环境中抬举起来，使他们可以象哈拿一样，将来能在玻璃海上向祂唱颂赞与感谢的诗歌（启14:3）吗？

撒上2:11 以利加拿往拉玛回家去了。那孩子在祭司以利面前事奉耶和华。 (串)撒上1:19;7:17|本章18撒上3:1

†[吕]以利加拿往拉玛回家去。那孩子留在祭司以利面前事奉着永恒主。

†[思]以后厄耳卡纳回了辣玛本家。幼童却留在厄里大司祭前，奉事上主。

†[当代]以利加拿返回拉玛的时候，并没有带撒母耳一同回去。那孩子从此就成了主的仆人，帮助祭司以利服事主。

†[新译]后来，以利加拿回拉玛自己的家去。那孩子却留在以利祭司面前事奉耶和华。

†[Wlb]以利加拿往拉玛、归其家、小子在祭司以利前、奉事耶和华、

†[Xdv]后来，以利加拿回拉玛去了；但小塞缪尔仍留在示罗，在祭司以利的教导下事奉上主。

†[Kjv]And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.

†[Nkjv]Then Elkanah went to his house at Ramah. But the child ministered to the LORD before Eli the priest.

†[BBE]Then Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child became the servant of the Lord under the direction of Eli the priest.

†[GNT] Then Elkanah went back home to Ramah, but the boy Samuel stayed in Shiloh and served the Lord under the priest Eli.

†[NIV]Then Elkanah went home to Ramah, but the boy ministered before the Lord under Eli the priest.

本会注释　　那孩子侍奉。“孩子”（na'ar），指成年之前任何年龄的男孩。约瑟在17岁时被称作na'ar（童子）。该词在17节中指以利的儿子。不知道他们比撒母耳大多少。根据上下文，在他们成年之前就被立为祭司。撒母耳年龄的估计在3到15岁之间（见撒上1:20-28怀爱伦注释）。
　　当一个孩子承担了某种特别的责任时，其父母往往设法藉此为自己谋取利益。以利加拿的功劳是很大的。他虽然是利未人，却仍在拉玛继续他平常的生活方式。以利加拿和哈拿既然肯定知道撒母耳所处的环境，他们把献给上帝的礼物交在以利和他两个儿子何弗尼与非尼哈手中时必定有些忧虑。当圣父将祂的圣子置于当时邪恶祭司的影响和监督之下时，祂的忧虑必定比这大多了。在基督开始受到祭司们的注意时，祂已经12岁了。然而祂在那个场合的表现证明了寻求上天指导的孩童确实会受到上帝的保护（见@路2:52@注释）。撒母耳的经验证实了这同样的神圣指导。
　　圣经明说撒母耳是在这种邪恶的环境中侍奉上帝。“侍奉”指服务，可以是世俗的或是神圣的。约瑟在波提乏家里的职责，约书亚在上帝的山上对摩西的协助，用的也是该词（出24:13）。撒母耳抵挡围绕着他的邪恶影响的能力，正如约瑟和约书亚一样，源于他坚决让自己忙于上帝的事。

撒上2:12 以利的两个儿子是恶人，不认识耶和华。

†[吕]以利的两个儿子是无赖子，他们不认识永恒主。

†[思]厄里的两个儿子原是无恶不做的人，不怀念上主，

†[当代]以利的两个儿子都是不肖的，他们不敬畏主，也不懂得祭司对人民所当尽的责任。

†[新译]以利的两个儿子是无赖，不尊重耶和华，

†[Wlb]以利二子、匪类也、不识耶和华、

†[Xdv]以利的两个儿子都是无赖。他们藐视上主，

†[Kjv]Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.

†[Nkjv]Now the sons of Eli were corrupt; they did not know the LORD.

†[BBE]Now the sons of Eli were evil and good-for-nothing men, having no knowledge of the Lord.

†[GNT] The sons of Eli were scoundrels. They paid no attention to the Lord

†[NIV]Eli's sons were wicked men; they had no regard for the Lord .

本会注释　　恶人。彼列之子。直译是“没有价值的儿子。”摩西用该词指那些怂恿同胞侍奉别神的人（申13:13）。在士师的初期，那个从伯利恒旅行到基比亚过夜的利未人就是受到“彼列之子”（“匪徒”）的袭击（士19:22）。在《新约》中“彼列”用作撒但的别名（林后6:15）。正如约瑟被放置在王室堕落的包围之中，撒母耳也在堕落祭司的包围中，“在这弯曲悖谬的世代”长大成人（腓2:15）。
　　何弗尼和非尼哈既屈从邪恶的情欲，对他们应该侍奉的上帝就没有正确的观念。他们毫不喜爱与祂交通，对祂的旨意毫不认同，也没有一点对祂的责任感。他们只是为自己自私败坏的目的利用其所继承的职位。他们抢夺百姓为要满足自己的食欲。他们不仅抢夺了上帝当得的祭物，而且非法剥夺了敬拜者对祂的尊敬与爱戴。藉着他们邪恶的情欲，他们使侍奉上帝在百姓眼中降低到了邻邦偶像崇拜纵欲狂欢的世俗放荡水平。但是上帝允许人被放置在这样一种环境中，好向宇宙证明邪恶的环境并不一定左右一个人的命运。既然知道犹大贪婪的精神，今天就没有一个人会想让他当司库，但耶稣却那样做了（《历代愿望》294,295页）。祂原是要犹大对更伟大价值的事有非常深刻的印象，从而使他愿意全心顺服他的救主。耶稣爱犹大，并且乐意使他成为主要的使徒之一（见《历代愿望》295页）。

撒上2:13 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，

†[吕]也不认清祭司从人民所应得的分额。凡有人献祭，正煮肉的时候，祭司的僮仆就来，手里拿着三齿叉子，

†[思]也不关心司祭对人民的义务；若有人来杀牲献祭，到煮祭肉时，司祭的僮仆便来，手持叁齿叉，

†[当代]－

†[新译]也不理会当时祭司待人民的规矩。有人献祭，在煮肉的时候，祭司的仆人就来，手里拿着三齿的叉，

†[Wlb]其为祭司、与民立规、人献祭烹肉时、祭司之仆至、手执三股之叉、

†[Xdv]不顾祭司取祭肉的规定。在人献祭的时候，他们常常派仆人带着三齿叉去，肉还在锅里煮，

†[Kjv]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;

†[Nkjv]And the priests' custom with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come with a three-pronged fleshhook in his hand while the meat was boiling.

†[BBE]And the priests' way with the people was this: when any man made an offering, the priest's servant came while the flesh was being cooked, having in his hand a meat-hook with three teeth;

†[GNT] or to the regulations concerning what the priests could demand from the people. Instead, when someone was offering a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come with a three-pronged fork. While the meat was still cooking,

†[NIV]Now it was the practice of the priests with the people that whenever anyone offered a sacrifice and while the meat was being boiled, the servant of the priest would come with a three-pronged fork in his hand.

撒上2:14 将叉子往罐里，或鼎里，或釜里，或锅里一插，插上来的肉，祭司都取了去。凡上到示罗的以色列人，他们都是这样看待。

†[吕]将叉子往盆里、或鼎里、或釜里，或锅里一插，凡叉子所插上来的，祭司都取为己有。在示罗，凡上到示罗的以色列人，他们都这样待他们。

†[思]插入鼎，锅，甑或镬，凡叉上来的，司祭就拿去自用；他们常这样对待所有到史罗来的以色列人。

†[当代]每当人民来献祭，而那些祭肉还在罐里或是鼎里，或是釜里、锅里煮著的时候，他们就让仆人用一柄三头叉插进锅里去，插出来的祭肉就全部归他们所有。他们对所有到示罗敬拜主的以色列人都这样做。

†[新译]把叉子插入煎盘里，或鼎里，或釜里，或锅里，叉子插上来的，祭司都拿去。所有到示罗来的以色列人，祭司都是这样待他们。

†[Wlb]入于釜甑鼎镬、叉所得者、祭司取之、凡以色列族至示罗者、祭司待之若此、

†[Xdv]仆人就把叉子插进去，插到什么，拿出来就算是祭司的。他们这样对待所有来示罗献祭的以色列人。

†[Kjv]And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.

†[Nkjv]Then he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; and the priest would take for himself all that the fleshhook brought up. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.

†[BBE]This he put into the pot, and everything which came up on the hook the priest took for himself. This they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.

†[GNT] he would stick the fork into the cooking pot, and whatever the fork brought out belonged to the priest. All the Israelites who came to Shiloh to offer sacrifices were treated like this.

†[NIV]He would plunge it into the pan or kettle or caldron or pot, and the priest would take for himself whatever the fork brought up. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.

撒上2:15 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。” (串)利3:16;7:23,25,31

†[吕]甚至在未熏脂肪以前、祭司的僮仆就来，对献祭的人说：“将肉给祭司去烤吧！他不要跟你取煮过的，只要生的。”

†[思]甚或在焚化油脂以前，司祭的僮仆来对献祭的人说：“把肉给司祭去烤罢！他不向你要熟肉，他要生肉。”

†[当代]有时候，祭司的仆人甚至会来向正在献祭的人要祭肉，说祭司只要没有煮过的生肉，不要煮过的肉。

†[新译]还有，在焚烧脂油以前，祭司的仆人就来，对献祭的人说：“把祭肉交给祭司烧烤吧，因为他不会向你要煮过的肉，单要生的。”

†[Wlb]未焚脂、祭司之仆至、谓献祭者曰、给肉于祭司以炙、彼不取尔烹者、必取生腥、

†[Xdv]不但如此，甚至在脂肪还没有焚烧以前，祭司的仆人就来，对献祭的人说：“给我一块肉，我好拿去给祭司烤。他不要煮过的，只要生肉。”

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]Also, before they burned the fat, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who sacrificed, "Give meat for roasting to the priest, for he will not take boiled meat from you, but raw."

†[BBE]And more than this, before the fat was burned, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was making the offering, Give me some of the flesh to be cooked for the priest; he has no taste for meat cooked in water, but would have you give it unco

†[GNT] In addition, even before the fat was taken off and burned, the priest's servant would come and say to the one offering the sacrifice, "Give me some meat for the priest to roast; he won't accept boiled meat from you, only raw meat."

†[NIV]But even before the fat was burned, the servant of the priest would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, "Give the priest some meat to roast; he won't accept boiled meat from you, but only raw."

撒上2:16 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。”

†[吕]献祭的人若对他说：“人必须先熏脂肪，然后你才可以随意去取”；僮仆就（或译：对他）说：“不，你现在就给，不然我便强取。”

†[思]如果人答应说：“先得将油脂焚化，然后你可随意拿去。”他必答说：“不，应立刻给我；不然，我就来抢。”

†[当代]如果献祭的人回答说：“你要拿多少就拿吧，只是一定要先把脂肪焚烧献上。”那么，这仆人便会说：“不，你现在就给我，不然，我就要动武了。”

†[新译]如果那人对仆人说：“必须先把脂油焚烧了，然后你才可以随意去拿。”他就说：“不可以，你现在就要给我，否则我就抢去。”

†[Wlb]如人曰、必先焚脂、然后任尔所欲取之、彼则曰、非也、今当予我、不然、我强取之、

†[Xdv]如果那人回答：“我们要按规定先把脂肪烧掉，然后你可以随意拿去！”祭司的仆人就会说：“不，现在就给！如果不给，我要抢了！”

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]And if the man said to him, "They should really burn the fat first; then you may take as much as your heart desires," he would then answer him, "No, but you must give it now; and if not, I will take it by force."

†[BBE]And if the man said to him, First let the fat be burned, then take as much as you will; then the servant would say, No, you are to give it to me now, or I will take it by force.

†[GNT] If the person answered, "Let us do what is right and burn the fat first; then take what you want," the priest's servant would say, "No! Give it to me now! If you don't, I will have to take it by force!"

†[NIV]If the man said to him, "Let the fat be burned up first, and then take whatever you want," the servant would then answer, "No, hand it over now; if you don't, I'll take it by force."

撒上2:17 如此，这二少年人的罪在耶和华面前甚重了，因为他们藐视耶和华的祭物（或作：他们使人厌弃给耶和华献祭）。

†[吕]这样，那两个青年人的罪在永恒主面前就非常大了，因为人们都（或译：他们）藐视献与永恒主的供物。

†[思]这两个少年人在上主前犯的罪极重，因为轻视了献于上主的祭品。

†[当代]所以，在主的眼中，这两个年轻人的罪非常深重，因为他们轻视民众向主所献的祭物。

†[新译]这样，那两个青年人在耶和华面前所犯的罪很大，因为他们藐视献给耶和华的祭物。

†[Wlb]二少者之罪、耶和华视为甚重、盖轻视耶和华之祭也、

†[Xdv]在上主眼中，以利这两个儿子的罪恶是非常严重的，因为他们不尊重献给上主的祭物。

†[Kjv]Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.

†[Nkjv]Therefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD, for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.

†[BBE]And the sin of these young men was very great before the Lord; for they gave no honour to the Lord's offerings.

†[GNT] This sin of the sons of Eli was extremely serious in the Lord's sight, because they treated the offerings to the Lord with such disrespect.

†[NIV]This sin of the young men was very great in the Lord 's sight, for they were treating the Lord 's offering with contempt.

撒上2:18 那时，撒母耳还是孩子，穿着细麻布的以弗得，侍立在耶和华面前。 (串)出28:4撒下6:14代上15:27|本章11撒上3:1

†[吕]那时撒母耳在永恒主面前事奉着、还是个孩子；他束着细麻布的圣裲裆。

†[思]撒慕尔幼童穿着细麻的“厄弗得，”在上主面前供职。

†[当代]虽然撒母耳年纪还小，但他已经是主的仆人，而且还像祭司一样穿上细麻布的以弗得。

†[新译]那时，撒母耳还是个孩童，束着细麻布的以弗得，在耶和华面前事奉。

†[Wlb]撒母耳尚幼、衣枲圣衣、侍于耶和华前、

†[Xdv]那时，塞缪尔还年幼；他穿着麻纱的以弗得圣服事奉上主。

†[Kjv]But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.

†[Nkjv]But Samuel ministered before the LORD, even as a child, wearing a linen ephod.

†[BBE]But Samuel did the work of the Lord's house, while he was a child, dressed in a linen ephod.

†[GNT] In the meantime the boy Samuel continued to serve the Lord, wearing a sacred linen apron.

†[NIV]But Samuel was ministering before the Lord -a boy wearing a linen ephod.

本会注释　　细麻布的以弗得。这里指低级祭司和利未人穿的外衣，有时甚至民间的显要人物也穿。例如，大卫在上帝面前舞蹈时就穿了一件细麻布的以弗得（撒下6:14）。这不可与大祭司穿的以弗得相混淆，后者是用“金线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色线，并捻的细麻”做的，其上固定着胸牌，胸牌上有12块宝石和用来求问上帝的乌陵与土明（见@出28:6@的注释；参士8:27）。如果单单就是细麻布的以弗得，它的样式似乎可能与大祭司的以弗得相同，是无袖的短外衣，由前后面构成，在肩膀处连接在一起，并用一条腰带系在腰部（见@士8:27@注释）。
　　侍立。不是作仆人，而是担任利未人在圣所中的圣职。“侍立”的希伯来原文包含这两种“侍奉。”

†[Nkjv]Moreover his mother used to make him a little robe, and bring it to him year by year when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

†[BBE]And his mother made him a little robe and took it to him every year when she came with her husband for the year's offering.

†[GNT] Each year his mother would make a little robe and take it to him when she accompanied her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

†[NIV]Each year his mother made him a little robe and took it to him when she went up with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.

本会注释　　他母亲。哈拿不仅把她的儿子献给了上帝，而且年复一年向他表示自己的爱。上帝也不断看顾祂的子民。祂不仅一次性永远赐下祂的儿子，而且继续关怀，使那次牺牲日益有效地满足祂最软弱儿女的需要（太6:30-34）。

本会注释　　代替你从耶和华求来的孩子。“借给耶和华的”。借给耶和华的必连本带利返回。哈拿献给上帝一个孩子，得到的回报是另外五个孩子。亚伯拉罕也是这样奉献以撒的。上帝应许他的子孙要“象天上的星”那样多（创22:17）。基督应许甚至在今生都有百倍的回报（太19:29；路18:30）。

本会注释　　以利年甚老迈。在库姆兰第四洞穴发现并于1954年发表的《撒母耳记上》的一个片段为：“以利九十岁了。”奥尔布赖特认为这是从撒上4:15转移过来的。七十士译本的“九十”是以利去世的年龄。但这个新发现的片段并没有说他90岁去世，而是说那时撒母耳已经服侍了他一段时间。

本会注释　　第一章补充注释
　　撒母耳的家乡拉玛琐非的确切位置不为人所知。人们提出了几个不同的地点：（1）以法莲境内的拜特里马（Beit Rima），在示以西17.6公里处，那里巴勒斯坦中部的山脉已下降为起伏的丘陵，或再往西8公里的伦替斯（Rent\is）；（2）便雅悯境内的厄拉姆（er-Ram），在耶路撒冷以北8.8公里处，通往示剑的大道上；（3）以法莲的拉马拉，在耶路撒冷以北偏西14.4公里，示罗以南偏西19.2公里，伯利恒西南2.8公里处。
　　示罗西面17.6公里的拜特里马，和再往西的伦替斯，离扫罗的家乡基比亚（在便雅悯）太远了，不可能是撒母耳的家乡（撒上9:1 – 10:9；参《先祖与先知》608, 609页）。扫罗在两天之内不会走到离家40或48公3里远去寻找他父亲丢失的驴。他和他的仆人也不可能在第三天找遍了所有的丘陵、溪谷和峡谷。在亚设（书19:29）、拿弗他利（书19:36）、西缅（书19:8）和玛拿西（基列的拉抹，申4:43，参王下8:29；代下22:6）境内的其它名叫拉玛的城市甚至更远，所以是不可能的。
　　有分量的证据似乎有利于靠近便雅悯边境的以法莲南部山区的拉马拉。与它邻近的一个城镇符合撒母耳家乡的所有已知特征。士4:5的拉玛靠近底波拉的棕树，离伯特利不远；就如已经提到的，伯特利西南约2.8公里的拉马拉不会是便雅悯的拉玛，因为如果那样的话，作者就会提到靠近便雅悯拉玛几个城镇中的任何一个，而不是以法莲山地的伯特利了。
　　撒母耳出生在拉玛（撒上1:1, 19, 20；《先祖与先知》572页）。他在这里作为祭司、先知和士师为以色列服务，建立了两所最初的先知学校中的的所（撒上7:17；8:4；15:34；19:18–20；《先祖与先知》593, 604页）。这显然也是扫罗在那里初次见到撒母耳并被膏立为王的那个没有提到名字的城镇（9:5, 6, 11, 14, 18；《先祖与先知》608, 609页）。撒母耳在这里去世并被葬在这里（撒上25:1；28:3）。
　　撒母耳的拉玛又叫作以拉玛琐（撒上1:1, 19），在“苏弗地”（撒上9:5；参《先祖与先知》608, 609页）。苏弗是利未经由哥辖的后代，撒母耳的第五代先祖（代上6:33–38）。在分迦南地时，利未支派的哥辖族在不同的支派中被分配了城池，包括犹大、便雅悯和以法莲支派（见书21:4, 5；代上6:54–70）。苏弗的后代—琐非人—可能就住在“苏弗地”（撒上1:1；9:5）。他们的城市拉玛，与拉玛琐非一样，字面意思是“琐非人的拉玛。”
　　撒母耳的父亲以利加拿出身“以法莲山地”，可能象他的先祖苏弗一样，是以法莲人（撒上1:1）。以法莲人指伯利恒居民（得1:2；撒上17:12）或以法莲族的人（王上11:26）。以利加拿显然是后者。以法莲山地仅仅就是以法莲支派所分土地边界之内的山区，可能并不包括便雅悯山区的任何一部分（见士18:12, 13；19:13–16；撒上9:4）。在圣经中没有提到便雅悯有什么地方是在“以法莲山地。”
　　后来上帝对撒母耳说，扫罗是“一个人从便雅悯地出来”的（撒上9:16）。此外，当扫罗离开撒母耳在以法莲山地的家乡拉玛时，他穿过了便雅悯的边境。前往他在便雅悯境内基比亚的家（撒上10:2–9；《先祖与先知》608, 609页）。
　　有人认为撒上9:1 –10:9没有提到名字的那个城市是伯利恒。这种看法是根据创35:16–19，说拉结被葬在“以法他就是伯利恒”的“路旁”，并且在撒上10:2提到拉结的坟墓是在“便雅悯边境的泄撒”。但是与拉玛一样，拉结坟墓的确切位置也不为人知。它在伯特利和伯利恒的大道之间（创35:16–19），约有24公里多的距离。但创35:16“以法他的路旁”希伯来原文的字面意义是“距以法他有一些距离，”似乎暗示相当远的距离（见@创35:16@注释）。
　　传统上认为拉结的坟墓在伯利恒北偏西1.8公里，距便雅悯的边境约6.4公里。但是根据撒上10:2的希伯来原文，拉结的坟墓比这更接近边境，可能恰好在便雅悯的边境之内。然而，要是理解为便雅悯的北部边境而不是南部边境，创35:16的希伯来原文就与耶路撒冷北边泄撒的位置一致了。
　　耶利米提到在“拉玛”听到“拉结哭她儿女”（耶31:15；参创35:16–19）的声音，暗示拉结的坟墓离拉玛不远，并且这与撒母耳在撒上10:2中的指示一致。但是按传统说法，靠近伯利恒的位置距从便雅悯境内的拉玛算起会超过14.4公里，从以法莲的拉马拉算起会接近20.8公里。耶利米提到的“拉结哭她的儿女”是基于在拉玛的犹大会众为被掳往巴比伦的路程作准备的历史事件（见耶31:1–17；40:1）。耶利米的预言应验在太2:18（见@申18:15@注释）。除非这个拉玛靠近拉结的坟墓，否则耶利米提到的“拉结哭她的儿女”就没意义了。他进一步提到撒玛利亚和以法莲山地（耶31:5, 6），似乎在说拉玛靠近便雅悯和以法莲的边界，这确证了撒上10:2的信息。

本会注释　　不听。以利两个儿子的侍奉在这里与撒母耳形成了对比。撒母耳在人和上帝对他的喜爱中成长；而何弗尼与非尼哈却不尊敬上帝的指示，转耳不听他们父亲的忠告。每一个人都有道德的自由。如果他们选择服在上帝大能的手下（彼前5:6），在适当的时候他们就会被升高；但是他们如果选择随从自己的道路，最终必会收获这种行为的果子。
　　耶和华想要杀他们。他们拒绝了上帝的保护性管束，拣选他们自私的道路，蓄意抛弃上天的忠告。他们既厌恶耶和华的使者（诗34:7），就注定了自己的厄运。虽然是非利士人杀了他们（撒上4:10,11），但却是上帝允许的，因他们拒绝跟随祂。“上帝并不以执行审判者的姿态看待罪人；祂只是让那些拒绝祂恩典的人自食其果”（《善恶之争》36页）。对犹大是这样。对所有拒绝圣灵恳求的人都是这样。

本会注释　　有神人。以利死于98岁（撒上4:15；见@撒上2:22@注释）。那时撒母耳已经长大，可以被承认为先知，可能继承以利担任士师（撒上3:19-21）。由于在第2章和第3章提到的两次严肃警告之间自然会有一段时间，这次无名先知的来访似乎发生在撒母耳献身之后不久。不然就没有明显的理由说明为什么撒母耳没有负责传达来自上帝的这两个信息。
　　上帝是多么恒久忍耐啊！例如扫罗得到一个又一个警告，而且在他最终选择自己掌控局面之前，得到了许多时间可以考虑这些问题。
　　但是以利却屈服于血缘关系的要求，过于履行他代表百姓对上帝的义务。美德是不能遗传的，而是后天获得的。以利的儿子们继承了神圣的职责和荣誉的称呼，可是因着自私，他们变成了撒但的仆役，以至于受到百姓普遍的抱怨。当他们的父亲未能行使他的职权时，就受到警告说：敬畏与尊重怎样造就品格和用途，撒播不敬与耻辱也照样造成悲哀与失望（32节）。“专求利己的定律，就是自取灭亡的定律”（《历代愿望》624页）。

本会注释　　一日同死。由于何弗尼和非尼哈粗暴处理上帝的事，他们将要遭遇暴死。上帝希望他们从邪恶的道路上回转，就稍微拉开了将来的帷幕，自然是盼望这两个儿子在听到这预言时会改变他们的生活，避免遭遇预言的应验。在发出这个预言时，上帝只是预见到他们的厄运。祂并没有预定它。祂从起初就看到末后，知道所有影响运用自由选择的事。藉着警告个人有关将来要遭遇的事，上帝向全宇宙证明了人的自由选择会走到即便知道将来也阻止不了他们的地步。

本会注释　　一个忠心的祭司。圣经并没有说是谁应验了这个预言。有些学者认为是指以利亚撒家系的撒督。当以他玛家系的亚比亚他因为帮助亚多尼雅争夺所罗门的王位而被革职后，所罗门就把祭司的职位授予撒督（王上2:27,35）。有人认为这是指基督，还有人认为这个预言应验在撒母耳及其工作中。但是这句话的重要教训在于人不能阻止上帝要在人心中恢复祂自己形象这一旨意的最终实现。以色列人所有幸参与的圣所崇事，及其所有的详细的表号，都是要说明基督工作的方法。尽管祭司和官长都拒绝了这个计划，上帝的旨意还是朝着它的实现稳步前进，不快也不慢。如果人选择这样做，他是可以与基督合作来完成这个目标的。如果人拒绝，他就只能是咎由自取。他不能指控上帝蓄意害他。
