士师记 3
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
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 which the Lord left, that by them he might instruct Israel, and all that had not known the wars of the Chanaanites:
2好叫 以色列 的后代又知道又学习未曾晓得的战事。
2That afterwards their children might learn to fight with their enemies, and to be trained up to war:
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 princes of the Philistines, and all the Chanaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hevites that dwelt in mount Libanus, from mount Baal Hermon to the entering into Emath.
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。
4And he left them, that he might try Israel by them, whether they would hear the commandments of the Lord, which he had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses, or not.
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，
5So the children of Israel dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite:
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 their daughters to wives, and they gave their own daughters to their sons, and they 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 ，
7And they did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they forgot their God, and served Baalim and Astaroth.
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。
8And the Lord being angry with Israel, delivered them into the hands of Chusan Rasathaim king of Mesopotamia, and they 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 。
9And they cried to the Lord, who raised them up a saviour, and delivered them, to wit, Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb:
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 。
10And the spirit of the Lord was in him, and he judged Israel. And he went out to fight, and the Lord delivered into his hands Chusan Rasathaim king of Syria, and he overthrew him.
11于是国中太平四十年。 基纳斯 的儿子 俄陀聂 死了。
11And the land rested forty years, and Othoniel the son of Cenez 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。
12And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: who strengthened against them Eglon king of Moab: because they did evil in his sight.
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。
13And he joined to him the children of Ammon, and Amalec: and he went and overthrew Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
14于是 以色列 人服事 摩押 王 伊矶伦 十八年。
14And the children of Israel 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 afterwards they cried to the Lord, who raised them up a saviour called Aod, the son of Gera, the son of Jemini, who used the left hand as well as the right. And the children of Israel sent presents to Eglon king of Moab by him.
16以笏 打了一把两刃的剑，长一肘，带在右腿上衣服里面。
16And he made himself a two-edged sword, with a haft in the midst of the length of the palm of the hand, and was girded therewith under his garment on the right thigh.
17他将礼物献给 摩押 王 伊矶伦 （原来 伊矶伦 极其肥胖）；
17And he presented the gifts to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was exceeding fat.
18以笏 献完礼物，便将抬礼物的人打发走了，
18And when he had presented the gifts unto him, he followed his companions that came along with him.
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。
19Then returning from Galgal, where the idols were, be said to the king: I have a secret message to thee, O king. And he commanded silence: and all being gone out that were about 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。
20Aod went in to him: now he was sitting in a summer parlour alone, and he said: I have a word from God to thee. And he forthwith rose up from his throne,
21以笏 便伸左手，从右腿上拔出剑来，刺入王的肚腹，
21And Aod put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his 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。
22With such force that the haft went in after the blade into the wound, and was closed up with the abundance of fat. So that he did not draw out the dagger, but left it in his body as he had struck it in. And forthwith by the secret parts of nature the excrements of the belly came out.
23以笏 就出到游廊，将楼门尽都关锁。
23But Aod carefully shutting the doors of the parlour and locking them,
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。」
24Went out by a postern door. And the king’s servants going in, saw the doors of the parlour shut, and they said: Perhaps he is easing nature in his summer parlour.
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。
25And waiting a long time till they were ashamed, and seeing that no man opened the door, they took a key: and opening, they found their lord lying dead on the ground.
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 ；
26But Aod, while they were in confusion, escaped, and passed by the place of the idols, from whence he had returned. And he came to Seirath:
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，
27And forthwith he sounded the trumpet in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel went down with him, he himself going in the front.
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。
28And he said to them: Follow me: for the Lord hath delivered our enemies the Moabites into our hands. And they went down after him, and seized upon the fords of the Jordan, which are in the way to Moab: and they suffered no man to pass 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。
29But they slew of the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand, all strong and Valiant men: none of them could escape.
30这样， 摩押 就被 以色列 人制伏了。国中太平八十年。
30And Moab was humbled that day under the hand of Israel: and the land rested 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 him was Samgar the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with a ploughshare: and he also defended Israel.
