Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Now the men of Israel had sworn an oath at Mizpah, saying, “Not one of us will give his daughter in marriage to a Benjamite.”
1以色列 人在 米斯巴 曾起誓说：「我们都不将女儿给 便雅悯 人为妻。」
2So the people came to Bethel and sat there before God until evening, lifting up their voices and weeping bitterly.
2以色列 人来到 伯特利 ，坐在 神面前直到晚上，放声痛哭，
3“Why, O LORD God of Israel,” they cried out, “has this happened in Israel? Today in Israel one tribe is missing!”
3说：「耶和华— 以色列 的 神啊，为何 以色列 中有这样缺了一支派的事呢？」
4The next day the people got up early, built an altar there, and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings.
4次日清早，百姓起来，在那里筑了一座坛，献燔祭和平安祭。
5The Israelites asked, “Who among all the tribes of Israel did not come to the assembly before the LORD?” For they had taken a solemn oath that anyone who failed to come up before the LORD at Mizpah would surely be put to death.
5以色列 人彼此问说：「 以色列 各支派中，谁没有同会众上到耶和华面前来呢？」先是 以色列 人起过大誓说，凡不上 米斯巴 到耶和华面前来的，必将他治死。
6And the Israelites grieved for their brothers, the Benjamites, and said, “Today a tribe is cut off from Israel.
6以色列 人为他们的弟兄 便雅悯 后悔，说：「如今 以色列 中绝了一个支派了。
7What should we do about wives for the survivors, since we have sworn by the LORD not to give them our daughters in marriage?”
7我们既在耶和华面前起誓说，必不将我们的女儿给 便雅悯 人为妻，现在我们当怎样办理、使他们剩下的人有妻呢？」
8So they asked, “Which one of the tribes of Israel failed to come up before the LORD at Mizpah?” And, in fact, no one from Jabesh-gilead had come to the camp for the assembly.
8又彼此问说：「 以色列 支派中谁没有上 米斯巴 到耶和华面前来呢？」他们就查出 基列·雅比 没有一人进营到会众那里；
9For when the people were counted, none of the residents of Jabesh-gilead were there.
9因为百姓被数的时候，没有一个 基列·雅比 人在那里。
10So the congregation sent 12,000 of their most valiant men and commanded them: “Go and put to the sword those living in Jabesh-gilead, including women and children.
10会众就打发一万二千大勇士，吩咐他们说：「你们去用刀将 基列·雅比 人连妇女带孩子都击杀了。
11This is what you are to do: Devote to destruction every male, as well as every female who has had relations with a man.”
11所当行的就是这样：要将一切男子和已嫁的女子尽行杀戮。」
12So they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young women who had not had relations with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan.
12他们在 基列·雅比 人中，遇见了四百个未嫁的处女，就带到 迦南 地的 示罗 营里。
13Then the whole congregation sent a message of peace to the Benjamites who were at the rock of Rimmon.
13全会众打发人到 临门磐 的 便雅悯 人那里，向他们说和睦的话。
14And at that time the Benjamites returned and were given the women who were spared from Jabesh-gilead. But there were not enough women for all of them.
14当时 便雅悯 人回来了， 以色列 人就把所存活 基列·雅比 的女子给他们为妻，还是不够。
15The people grieved for Benjamin, because the LORD had made a void in the tribes of Israel.
15百姓为 便雅悯 人后悔，因为耶和华使 以色列 人缺了一个支派 。
16Then the elders of the congregation said, “What should we do about wives for those who remain, since the women of Benjamin have been destroyed?”
16会中的长老说：「 便雅悯 中的女子既然除灭了，我们当怎样办理、使那余剩的人有妻呢？」
17They added, “There must be heirs for the survivors of Benjamin, so that a tribe of Israel will not be wiped out.
17又说：「 便雅悯 逃脱的人当有地业，免得 以色列 中涂抹了一个支派。
18But we cannot give them our daughters as wives.” For the Israelites had sworn, “Cursed is he who gives a wife to a Benjamite.”
18只是我们不能将自己的女儿给他们为妻；因为 以色列 人曾起誓说，有将女儿给 便雅悯 人为妻的，必受咒诅。」
19“But look,” they said, “there is a yearly feast to the LORD in Shiloh, which is north of Bethel east of the road that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebonah.”
19他们又说：「在 利波拿 以南， 伯特利 以北，在 示剑 大路以东的 示罗 ，年年有耶和华的节期」；
20So they commanded the Benjamites: “Go, hide in the vineyards
20就吩咐 便雅悯 人说：「你们去，在葡萄园中埋伏。
21and watch. When you see the daughters of Shiloh come out to perform their dances, each of you is to come out of the vineyards, catch for himself a wife from the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
21若看见 示罗 的女子出来跳舞，就从葡萄园出来，在 示罗 的女子中各抢一个为妻，回 便雅悯 地去。
22When their fathers or brothers come to us to complain, we will tell them, ‘Do us a favor by helping them, since we did not get wives for each of them in the war. Since you did not actually give them your daughters, you have no guilt.’”
22他们的父亲或是弟兄若来与我们争竞，我们就说：『求你们看我们的情面，施恩给这些人，因我们在争战的时候没有给他们留下女子为妻。这也不是你们将女子给他们的；若是你们给的，就算有罪。』」
23The Benjamites did as instructed and carried away the number of women they needed from the dancers they caught. They went back to their own inheritance, rebuilt their cities, and settled in them.
23于是 便雅悯 人照样而行，按着他们的数目从跳舞的女子中抢去为妻，就回自己的地业去，又重修城邑居住。
24And at that time, each of the Israelites returned from there to his own tribe and clan, each to his own inheritance.
24当时 以色列 人离开那里，各归本支派、本宗族、本地业去了。
25In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
25那时， 以色列 中没有王，各人任意而行。
