Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Then all the Israelites from Dan to Beersheba and from the land of Gilead came out, and the congregation assembled as one man before the LORD at Mizpah.
1於是 以色列 從 但 到 別是巴 ，以及住 基列 地的眾人都出來，如同一人，聚集在 米斯巴 耶和華面前。
2The leaders of all the people and all the tribes of Israel presented themselves in the assembly of God’s people: 400,000 men on foot, armed with swords.
2以色列 民的首領，就是各支派的軍長，都站在上帝百姓的會中；拿刀的步兵共有四十萬。
3(Meanwhile the Benjamites heard that the Israelites had gone up to Mizpah.) And the Israelites asked, “Tell us, how did this wicked thing happen?”
3以色列 人上到 米斯巴 ， 便雅憫 人都聽見了。 以色列 人說：「請你將這件惡事的情由對我們說明。」
4So the Levite, the husband of the murdered woman, answered: “I and my concubine came to Gibeah in Benjamin to spend the night.
4那 利未 人，就是被害之婦人的丈夫，回答說：「我和我的妾到了 便雅憫 的 基比亞 住宿。
5And during the night, the men of Gibeah rose up against me and surrounded the house. They intended to kill me, but they abused my concubine, and she died.
5基比亞 人夜間起來，圍了我住的房子，想要殺我，又將我的妾強姦致死。
6Then I took my concubine, cut her into pieces, and sent her throughout the land of Israel’s inheritance, because they had committed a lewd and disgraceful act in Israel.
6我就把我妾的屍身切成塊子，使人拿着傳送 以色列 得為業的全地，因為 基比亞 人在 以色列 中行了兇淫醜惡的事。
7Behold, all you Israelites, give your advice and verdict here and now.”
7你們 以色列 人都當籌劃商議。」
8Then all the people stood as one man and said, “Not one of us will return to his tent or to his house.
8眾民都起來如同一人，說：「我們連一人都不回自己帳棚、自己房屋去。
9Now this is what we will do to Gibeah: We will go against it as the lot dictates.
9我們向 基比亞 人必這樣行，照所掣的籤去攻擊他們。
10We will take ten men out of every hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to supply provisions for the army when they go to Gibeah in Benjamin to punish them for the atrocity they have committed in Israel.”
10我們要在 以色列 各支派中，一百人挑取十人，一千人挑取百人，一萬人挑取千人，為民運糧，等大眾到了 便雅憫 的 基比亞 ，就照 基比亞 人在 以色列 中所行的醜事征伐他們。」
11So all the men of Israel gathered as one man, united against the city.
11於是 以色列 眾人彼此連合如同一人，聚集攻擊那城。
12And the tribes of Israel sent men throughout the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What is this wickedness that has occurred among you?
12以色列 眾支派打發人去，問 便雅憫 支派的各家說：「你們中間怎麼做了這樣的惡事呢？
13Hand over the wicked men of Gibeah so we can put them to death and purge Israel of this evil.” But the Benjamites refused to heed the voice of their fellow Israelites.
13現在你們要將 基比亞 的那些匪徒交出來，我們好治死他們，從 以色列 中除掉這惡。」 便雅憫 人卻不肯聽從他們弟兄 以色列 人的話。
14And from their cities they came together at Gibeah to go out and fight against the Israelites.
14便雅憫 人從他們的各城裏出來，聚集到了 基比亞 ，要與 以色列 人打仗。
15On that day the Benjamites mobilized 26,000 swordsmen from their cities, in addition to the 700 select men of Gibeah.
15那時 便雅憫 人從各城裏點出拿刀的，共有二萬六千；另外還有 基比亞 人點出七百精兵。
16Among all these soldiers there were 700 select left-handers, each of whom could sling a stone at a hair without missing.
16在眾軍之中有揀選的七百精兵，都是左手便利的，能用機弦甩石打人，毫髮不差。
17The Israelites, apart from Benjamin, mobilized 400,000 swordsmen, each one an experienced warrior.
17便雅憫 人之外，點出 以色列 人拿刀的，共有四十萬，都是戰士。
18The Israelites set out, went up to Bethel, and inquired of God, “Who of us shall go up first to fight against the Benjamites?” “Judah will be first,” the LORD replied.
18以色列 人就起來，到 伯特利 去求問上帝說：「我們中間誰當首先上去與 便雅憫 人爭戰呢？」耶和華說：「 猶大 當先 上去 。」
19The next morning the Israelites set out and camped near Gibeah.
19以色列 人早晨起來，對着 基比亞 安營。
20And the men of Israel went out to fight against Benjamin and took up their battle positions at Gibeah.
20以色列 人出來，要與 便雅憫 人打仗，就在 基比亞 前擺陣。
21And the Benjamites came out of Gibeah and cut down 22,000 Israelites on the battlefield that day.
21便雅憫 人就從 基比亞 出來，當日殺死 以色列 人二萬二千。
22But the Israelite army took courage and again took their battle positions in the same place where they had arrayed themselves on the first day.
22以色列 人彼此奮勇，仍在頭一日擺陣的地方又擺陣。
23They went up and wept before the LORD until evening, inquiring of Him, “Should we again draw near for battle against our brothers the Benjamites?” And the LORD answered, “Go up against them.”
23未擺陣之先， 以色列 人上去，在耶和華面前哭號，直到晚上，求問耶和華說：「我們再去與我們弟兄 便雅憫 人打仗可以不可以？」耶和華說：「可以上去攻擊他們。」
24On the second day the Israelites advanced against the Benjamites.
24第二日， 以色列 人就上前攻擊 便雅憫 人。
25That same day the Benjamites came out against them from Gibeah and cut down another 18,000 Israelites, all of them armed with swords.
25便雅憫 人也在這日從 基比亞 出來，與 以色列 人接戰，又殺死他們一萬八千，都是拿刀的。
26Then the Israelites, all the people, went up to Bethel, where they sat weeping before the LORD. That day they fasted until evening and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings to the LORD.
26以色列 眾人就上到 伯特利 ，坐在耶和華面前哭號，當日禁食直到晚上；又在耶和華面前獻燔祭和平安祭。
27And the Israelites inquired of the LORD. (In those days the ark of the covenant of God was there,
27那時，上帝的約櫃在那裏； 亞倫 的孫子、 以利亞撒 的兒子 非尼哈 侍立在約櫃前。 以色列 人問耶和華說：「我們當再出去與我們弟兄 便雅憫 人打仗呢？還是罷兵呢？」耶和華說：「你們當上去，因為明日我必將他們交在你們手中。」
28and Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, served before it.) The Israelites asked, “Should we again go out to battle against our brothers the Benjamites, or should we stop?” The LORD answered, “Fight, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hand.”
no verse 28 in this text
29So Israel set up an ambush around Gibeah.
29以色列 人在 基比亞 的四圍設下伏兵。
30On the third day the Israelites went up against the Benjamites and arrayed themselves against Gibeah as they had done before.
30第三日， 以色列 人又上去攻擊 便雅憫 人，在 基比亞 前擺陣，與前兩次一樣。
31The Benjamites came out against them and were drawn away from the city. They began to attack the people as before, killing about thirty men of Israel in the fields and on the roads, one of which led up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah.
31便雅憫 人也出來迎敵，就被引誘離城；在田間兩條路上，一通 伯特利 ，一通 基比亞 ，像前兩次，動手殺死 以色列 人約有三十個。
32“We are defeating them as before,” said the Benjamites. But the Israelites said, “Let us retreat and draw them away from the city onto the roads.”
32便雅憫 人說：「他們仍舊敗在我們面前。」但 以色列 人說：「我們不如逃跑，引誘他們離開城到路上來。」
33So all the men of Israel got up from their places and arrayed themselves at Baal-tamar, and the Israelites in ambush charged from their positions west of Gibeah.
33以色列 眾人都起來，在 巴力‧他瑪 擺陣， 以色列 的伏兵從 馬利‧迦巴 埋伏的地方衝上前去。
34Then 10,000 select men from all Israel made a frontal assault against Gibeah, and the battle was fierce. But the Benjamites did not realize that disaster was upon them.
34有 以色列 人中的一萬精兵，來到 基比亞 前接戰，勢派甚是凶猛； 便雅憫 人卻不知道災禍臨近了。
35The LORD defeated Benjamin in the presence of Israel, and on that day the Israelites slaughtered 25,100 Benjamites, all armed with swords.
35耶和華使 以色列 人殺敗 便雅憫 人。那日， 以色列 人殺死 便雅憫 人二萬五千一百，都是拿刀的。
36Then the Benjamites realized they had been defeated. Now the men of Israel had retreated before Benjamin because they were relying on the ambush they had set against Gibeah.
36於是 便雅憫 人知道自己敗了。先是 以色列 人；因為靠着在 基比亞 前所設的伏兵，就在 便雅憫 人面前詐敗。
37The men in ambush rushed suddenly against Gibeah; they advanced and put the whole city to the sword.
37伏兵急忙闖進 基比亞 ，用刀殺死全城的人。
38The men of Israel had arranged a signal with the men in ambush: When they sent up a great cloud of smoke from the city,
38以色列 人預先同伏兵約定在城內放火，以煙氣上騰為號。
39the men of Israel would turn in the battle. When the Benjamites had begun to strike them down, killing about thirty men of Israel, they said, “They are defeated before us as in the first battle.”
39以色列 人臨退陣的時候， 便雅憫 人動手殺死 以色列 人，約有三十個，就說：「他們仍像前次被我們殺敗了。」
40But when the column of smoke began to go up from the city, the Benjamites looked behind them and saw the whole city going up in smoke.
40當煙氣如柱從城中上騰的時候， 便雅憫 人回頭觀看，見全城的 煙氣 沖天。
41Then the men of Israel turned back on them, and the men of Benjamin were terrified when they realized that disaster had come upon them.
41以色列 人又轉身回來， 便雅憫 人就甚驚惶，因為看見災禍臨到自己了。
42So they fled before the men of Israel toward the wilderness, but the battle overtook them, and the men coming out of the cities struck them down there.
42他們在 以色列 人面前轉身往曠野逃跑； 以色列 人在後面追殺。那從各城裏出來的，也都夾攻殺滅他們。
43They surrounded the Benjamites, pursued them, and easily overtook them in the vicinity of Gibeah on the east.
43以色列 人圍繞 便雅憫 人，追趕他們，在他們歇腳之處、對着日出之地的 基比亞 踐踏他們。
44And 18,000 Benjamites fell, all men of valor.
44便雅憫 人死了的有一萬八千，都是勇士。
45Then the Benjamites turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and Israel cut down 5,000 men on the roads. And they overtook them at Gidom and struck down 2,000 more.
45其餘的人轉身向曠野逃跑，往 臨門磐 去。 以色列 人在道路上殺了他們五千人，如拾取遺穗一樣，追到 基頓 又殺了他們二千人。
46That day 25,000 Benjamite swordsmen fell, all men of valor.
46那日 便雅憫 死了的共有二萬五千人，都是拿刀的勇士。
47But 600 men turned and fled into the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, where they stayed four months.
47只剩下六百人，轉身向曠野逃跑，到了 臨門磐 ，就在那裏住了四個月。
48And the men of Israel turned back against the other Benjamites and put to the sword all the cities, including the animals and everything else they found. And they burned down all the cities in their path.
48以色列 人又轉到 便雅憫 地，將各城的人和牲畜，並一切所遇見的，都用刀殺盡，又放火燒了一切城邑。
