士师记 3
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1耶和华留下这几族，为要试验那不曾知道与 迦南 争战之事的 以色列 人，
1These are the nations that the LORD left to test all the Israelites who had not known any of the wars in Canaan,
2好叫 以色列 的后代又知道又学习未曾晓得的战事。
2if only to teach warfare to the subsequent generations of Israel, especially to those who had not known it formerly:
3所 留下的 就是 非利士 的五个首领和一切 迦南 人、 西顿 人，并住 黎巴嫩山 的 希未 人，从 巴力·黑们山 直到 哈马口 。
3the five rulers of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived in the mountains of Lebanon from Mount Baal-hermon to Lebo-hamath.
4留 下 这几族，为要试验 以色列 人，知道他们肯听从耶和华借 摩西 吩咐他们列祖的诫命不肯。
4These nations were left to test the Israelites, to find out whether they would keep the commandments of the LORD, which He had given their fathers through Moses.
5以色列 人竟住在 迦南 人、 赫 人、 亚摩利 人、 比利洗 人、 希未 人、 耶布斯 人中间，
5Thus the Israelites continued to live among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
6娶他们的女儿为妻，将自己的女儿嫁给他们的儿子，并事奉他们的神。
6And they took the daughters of these people in marriage, gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
7以色列 人行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，忘记耶和华—他们的 神，去事奉诸 巴力 和 亚舍拉 ，
7So the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD; they forgot the LORD their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs.
8所以耶和华的怒气向 以色列 人发作，就把他们交在 美索不达米亚 王 古珊·利萨田 的手中。 以色列 人服事 古珊·利萨田 八年。
8Then the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram-naharaim, and the Israelites served him eight years.
9以色列 人呼求耶和华的时候，耶和华就为他们兴起一位拯救者救他们，就是 迦勒 兄弟 基纳斯 的儿子 俄陀聂 。
9But when the Israelites cried out to the LORD, He raised up Othniel son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz as a deliverer to save them.
10耶和华的灵降在他身上，他就作了 以色列 的士师，出去争战。耶和华将 美索不达米亚 王 古珊·利萨田 交在他手中，他便胜了 古珊·利萨田 。
10The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he became Israel’s judge and went out to war. And the LORD delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram into the hand of Othniel, who prevailed against him.
11于是国中太平四十年。 基纳斯 的儿子 俄陀聂 死了。
11So the land had rest for forty years, until Othniel son of Kenaz died.
12以色列 人又行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，耶和华就使 摩押 王 伊矶伦 强盛，攻击 以色列 人。
12Once again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. So He gave Eglon king of Moab power over Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
13伊矶伦 招聚 亚扪 人和 亚玛力 人，去攻打 以色列 人，占据棕树城。
13After enlisting the Ammonites and Amalekites to join forces with him, Eglon attacked and defeated Israel, taking possession of the City of Palms.
14于是 以色列 人服事 摩押 王 伊矶伦 十八年。
14The Israelites served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
15以色列 人呼求耶和华的时候，耶和华就为他们兴起一位拯救者，就是 便雅悯 人 基拉 的儿子 以笏 ；他是左手便利的。 以色列 人托他送礼物给 摩押 王 伊矶伦 。
15And again they cried out to the LORD, and He raised up Ehud son of Gera, a left-handed Benjamite, as their deliverer. So they sent him with tribute to Eglon king of Moab.
16以笏 打了一把两刃的剑，长一肘，带在右腿上衣服里面。
16Now Ehud had made for himself a double-edged sword a cubit long. He strapped it to his right thigh under his cloak
17他将礼物献给 摩押 王 伊矶伦 （原来 伊矶伦 极其肥胖）；
17and brought the tribute to Eglon king of Moab, who was an obese man.
18以笏 献完礼物，便将抬礼物的人打发走了，
18After Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he ushered out those who had carried it.
19自己却从靠近 吉甲 凿石之地回来，说：「王啊，我有一件机密事奏告你。」王说：「回避吧！」于是左右侍立的人都退去了。
19But upon reaching the idols near Gilgal, he himself turned back and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” “Silence,” said the king, and all his attendants left him.
20以笏 来到王面前；王独自一人坐在凉楼上。 以笏 说：「我奉 神的命报告你一件事。」王就从座位上站起来。
20Then Ehud approached him while he was sitting alone in the coolness of his upper room. “I have a word from God for you,” Ehud said, and the king rose from his seat.
21以笏 便伸左手，从右腿上拔出剑来，刺入王的肚腹，
21And Ehud reached with his left hand, pulled the sword from his right thigh, and plunged it into Eglon’s belly.
22连剑把都刺进去了。剑被肥肉夹住，他没有从王的肚腹拔出来，且穿通了后身。
22Even the handle sank in after the blade, and Eglon’s fat closed in over it, so that Ehud did not withdraw the sword from his belly. And Eglon’s bowels emptied.
23以笏 就出到游廊，将楼门尽都关锁。
23Then Ehud went out through the porch, closing and locking the doors of the upper room behind him.
24以笏 出来之后，王的仆人到了，看见楼门关锁，就说：「他必是在楼上大解。」
24After Ehud was gone, Eglon’s servants came in and found the doors of the upper room locked. “He must be relieving himself in the cool room,” they said.
25他们等烦了，见仍不开楼门，就拿钥匙开了，不料，他们的主人已死，倒在地上。
25So they waited until they became worried and saw that he had still not opened the doors of the upper room. Then they took the key and opened the doors—and there was their lord lying dead on the floor.
26他们耽延的时候， 以笏 就逃跑了，经过凿石之地，逃到 西伊拉 ；
26Ehud, however, had escaped while the servants waited. He passed by the idols and escaped to Seirah.
27到了，就在 以法莲 山地吹角。 以色列 人随着他下了山地，他在前头引路，
27On arriving in Seirah, he blew the ram’s horn throughout the hill country of Ephraim. The Israelites came down with him from the hills, and he became their leader.
28对他们说：「你们随我来，因为耶和华已经把你们的仇敌 摩押 人交在你们手中。」于是他们跟着他下去，把守 约旦河 的渡口，不容 摩押 一人过去。
28“Follow me,” he told them, “for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” So they followed him down and seized the fords of the Jordan leading to Moab, and did not allow anyone to cross over.
29那时击杀了 摩押 人约有一万，都是强壮的勇士，没有一人逃脱。
29At that time they struck down about ten thousand Moabites, all robust and valiant men. Not one of them escaped.
30这样， 摩押 就被 以色列 人制伏了。国中太平八十年。
30So Moab was subdued under the hand of Israel that day, and the land had rest for eighty years.
31以笏 之后，有 亚拿 的儿子 珊迦 ，他用赶牛的棍子打死六百 非利士 人。他也救了 以色列 人。
31After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath. And he too saved Israel, striking down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad.
