Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor; he was the son of a prostitute, and Gilead was his father.
1基列 人 耶弗他 是个大能的勇士，是妓女的儿子。 耶弗他 是 基列 所生的。
2And Gilead’s wife bore him sons who grew up, drove Jephthah out, and said to him, “You shall have no inheritance in our father’s house, because you are the son of another woman.”
2基列 的妻也生了几个儿子：他妻所生的儿子长大了，就赶逐 耶弗他 ，说：「你不可在我们父家承受产业，因为你是妓女的儿子。」
3So Jephthah fled from his brothers and settled in the land of Tob, where worthless men gathered around him and traveled with him.
3耶弗他 就逃避他的弟兄，去住在 陀伯 地，有些匪徒到他那里聚集，与他一同出入。
4Some time later, when the Ammonites fought against Israel
4过了些日子， 亚扪 人攻打 以色列 。
5and made war with them, the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob.
5亚扪 人攻打 以色列 的时候， 基列 的长老到 陀伯 地去，要叫 耶弗他 回来；
6“Come,” they said, “be our commander, so that we can fight against the Ammonites.”
6对 耶弗他 说：「请你来作我们的元帅，我们好与 亚扪 人争战。」
7Jephthah replied to the elders of Gilead, “Did you not hate me and expel me from my father’s house? Why then have you come to me now, when you are in distress?”
7耶弗他 回答 基列 的长老说：「从前你们不是恨我、赶逐我出离父家吗？现在你们遭遇急难为何到我这里来呢？」
8They answered Jephthah, “This is why we now turn to you, that you may go with us, fight the Ammonites, and become leader over all of us who live in Gilead.”
8基列 的长老回答 耶弗他 说：「现在我们到你这里来，是要你同我们去，与 亚扪 人争战；你可以作 基列 一切居民的领袖。」
9But Jephthah asked them, “If you take me back to fight the Ammonites and the LORD gives them to me, will I really be your leader?”
9耶弗他 对 基列 的长老说：「你们叫我回去，与 亚扪 人争战，耶和华把他交给我，我可以作你们的领袖吗？」
10And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “The LORD is our witness if we do not do as you say.”
10基列 的长老回答 耶弗他 说：「有耶和华在你我中间作见证，我们必定照你的话行。」
11So Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him their leader and commander. And Jephthah repeated all his terms in the presence of the LORD at Mizpah.
11于是 耶弗他 同 基列 的长老回去，百姓就立 耶弗他 作领袖、作元帅。 耶弗他 在 米斯巴 将自己的一切话陈明在耶和华面前。
12Then Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites, saying, “What do you have against me that you have come to fight against my land?”
12耶弗他 打发使者去见 亚扪 人的王，说：「你与我有什么相干，竟来到我国中攻打我呢？」
13The king of the Ammonites answered Jephthah’s messengers, “When Israel came up out of Egypt, they seized my land, from the Arnon to the Jabbok and all the way to the Jordan. Now, therefore, restore it peaceably.”
13亚扪 人的王回答 耶弗他 的使者说：「因为 以色列 人从 埃及 上来的时候占据我的地，从 亚嫩河 到 雅博河 ，直到 约旦河 。现在你要好好地将这 地 归还吧！」
14Jephthah again sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites
14耶弗他 又打发使者去见 亚扪 人的王，
15to tell him, “This is what Jephthah says: Israel did not take away the land of Moab or of the Ammonites.
15对他说：「 耶弗他 如此说， 以色列 人并没有占据 摩押 地和 亚扪 人的地。
16But when Israel came up out of Egypt, they traveled through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh.
16以色列 人从 埃及 上来乃是经过旷野到 红海 ，来到 加低斯 ，
17Then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, ‘Please let us pass through your land,’ but the king of Edom would not listen. They also sent messengers to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel stayed in Kadesh.
17就打发使者去见 以东 王，说：『求你容我从你的地经过。』 以东 王却不应允。又照样打发使者去见 摩押 王，他也不允准。 以色列 人就住在 加低斯 。
18Then Israel traveled through the wilderness and bypassed the lands of Edom and Moab. They came to the east side of the land of Moab and camped on the other side of the Arnon. But they did not enter the territory of Moab, since the Arnon was its border.
18他们又经过旷野，绕着 以东 和 摩押 地，从 摩押 地的东边过来，在 亚嫩河 边安营，并没有入 摩押 的境内，因为 亚嫩河 是 摩押 的边界。
19And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, and said to him, ‘Please let us pass through your land into our own place.’
19以色列 人打发使者去见 亚摩利 王 西宏 ，就是 希实本 的王，对他说：『求你容我们从你的地经过，往我们自己的地方去。』
20But Sihon would not trust Israel to pass through his territory. So he gathered all his people, encamped in Jahaz, and fought with Israel.
20西宏 却不信服 以色列 人，不容他们经过他的境界，乃招聚他的众民在 雅杂 安营，与 以色列 人争战。
21Then the LORD, the God of Israel, delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, who defeated them. So Israel took possession of all the land of the Amorites who inhabited that country,
21耶和华— 以色列 的 神将 西宏 和他的众民都交在 以色列 人手中， 以色列 人就击杀他们，得了 亚摩利 人的全地：
22seizing all the land from the Arnon to the Jabbok and from the wilderness to the Jordan.
22从 亚嫩河 到 雅博河 ，从旷野直到 约旦河 。
23Now since the LORD, the God of Israel, has driven out the Amorites from before His people Israel, should you now possess it?
23耶和华— 以色列 的 神在他百姓 以色列 面前赶出 亚摩利 人，你竟要得他们的地吗？
24Do you not possess whatever your god Chemosh grants you? So also, we possess whatever the LORD our God has granted us.
24你的神 基抹 所赐你的地你不是得为业吗？耶和华—我们的 神在我们面前所赶出的人，我们就得他的地。
25Are you now so much better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever contend with Israel or fight against them?
25难道你比 摩押 王 西拨 的儿子 巴勒 还强吗？他曾与 以色列 人争竞，或是与他们争战吗？
26For three hundred years Israel has lived in Heshbon, Aroer, and their villages, as well as all the cities along the banks of the Arnon. Why did you not take them back during that time?
26以色列 人住 希实本 和属 希实本 的乡村， 亚罗珥 和属 亚罗珥 的乡村，并沿 亚嫩河 的一切城邑，已经有三百年了；在这三百年之内，你们为什么没有取回这些地方呢？
27I have not sinned against you, but you have done me wrong by waging war against me. May the LORD, the Judge, decide today between the Israelites and the Ammonites.”
27原来我没有得罪你，你却攻打我，恶待我。愿审判人的耶和华今日在 以色列 人和 亚扪 人中间判断是非。」
28But the king of the Ammonites paid no heed to the message Jephthah sent him.
28但 亚扪 人的王不肯听 耶弗他 打发人说的话。
29Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh, then through Mizpah of Gilead. And from there he advanced against the Ammonites.
29耶和华的灵降在 耶弗他 身上，他就经过 基列 和 玛拿西 ，来到 基列 的 米斯巴 ，又从 米斯巴 来到 亚扪 人那里。
30Jephthah made this vow to the LORD: “If indeed You will deliver the Ammonites into my hand,
30耶弗他 就向耶和华许愿，说：「你若将 亚扪 人交在我手中，
31then whatever comes out the door of my house to greet me on my triumphant return from the Ammonites will belong to the LORD, and I will offer it up as a burnt offering.”
31我从 亚扪 人那里平平安安回来的时候，无论什么人，先从我家门出来迎接我，就必归你，我也必将他献上为燔祭。」
32So Jephthah crossed over to the Ammonites to fight against them, and the LORD delivered them into his hand.
32于是 耶弗他 往 亚扪 人那里去，与他们争战；耶和华将他们交在他手中，
33With a great blow he devastated twenty cities from Aroer to the vicinity of Minnith, as far as Abel-keramim. So the Ammonites were subdued before the Israelites.
33他就大大杀败他们，从 亚罗珥 到 米匿 ，直到 亚备勒·基拉明 ，攻取了二十座城。这样 亚扪 人就被 以色列 人制伏了。
34And when Jephthah returned home to Mizpah, there was his daughter coming out to meet him with tambourines and dancing! She was his only child; he had no son or daughter besides her.
34耶弗他 回 米斯巴 到了自己的家，不料，他女儿拿着鼓跳舞出来迎接他，是他独生的，此外无儿无女。
35As soon as Jephthah saw her, he tore his clothes and said, “No! Not my daughter! You have brought me to my knees! You have brought great misery upon me, for I have given my word to the LORD and cannot take it back.”
35耶弗他 看见她，就撕裂衣服，说：「哀哉！我的女儿啊，你使我甚是愁苦，叫我作难了；因为我已经向耶和华开口 许愿 ，不能挽回。」
36“My father,” she replied, “you have given your word to the LORD. Do to me as you have said, for the LORD has avenged you of your enemies, the Ammonites.”
36他女儿回答说：「父啊，你既向耶和华开口，就当照你口中所说的向我行，因耶和华已经在仇敌 亚扪 人身上为你报仇」；
37She also said to her father, “Let me do this one thing: Let me wander for two months through the mountains with my friends and mourn my virginity.”
37又对父亲说：「有一件事求你允准：容我去两个月，与同伴在山上，好哀哭我终为处女。」
38“Go,” he said. And he sent her away for two months. So she left with her friends and mourned her virginity upon the mountains.
38耶弗他 说：「你去吧！」就容她去两个月。她便和同伴去了，在山上为她终为处女哀哭。
39After two months, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had vowed. And she had never had relations with a man. So it has become a custom in Israel
39两月已满，她回到父亲那里，父亲就照所许的愿向她行了。女儿终身没有亲近男子。
40that each year the young women of Israel go out for four days to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite.
40此后 以色列 中有个规矩，每年 以色列 的女子去为 基列 人 耶弗他 的女儿哀哭四天。
