士师记 3
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
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，
1Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
2好叫 以色列 的后代又知道又学习未曾晓得的战事。
2only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as beforetime knew nothing thereof;
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 。
3namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Zidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entrance of 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。
4And they were there, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which He commanded their fathers by the hand of 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，
5And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the 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 their daughters to be their wives, and 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 ，
7And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth.
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。
8Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He gave them over into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram-naharaim; and the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim 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 when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
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 came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim.
11于是国中太平四十年。 基纳斯 的儿子 俄陀聂 死了。
11And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the 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。
12And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was 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。
13And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and smote Israel, and they 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 the 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 。
15But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed; and the children of Israel sent a present by him unto Eglon the 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。
16And Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his 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 offered the present unto Eglon king of Moab — now Eglon was a very fat man.
18以笏 献完礼物，便将抬礼物的人打发走了，
18And when he had made an end of offering the present, he sent away the people that bore the present.
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 he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said: 'I have a secret errand unto thee, O king.' And he said: 'Keep silence.' And all that stood by him went out from 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。
20And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting by himself alone in his cool upper chamber. And Ehud said: 'I have a message from God unto thee.' And he arose out of 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 put forth his left hand, and took the sword 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。
22And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, for he drew not the sword out of his belly; and it came out behind.
23以笏 就出到游廊，将楼门尽都关锁。
23Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper chamber upon him, and locked 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。」
24Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the upper chamber were locked; and they said: 'Surely he is covering his feet in the cabinet of the cool chamber.'
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 they tarried till they were ashamed; and, behold, he opened not the doors of the upper chamber; therefore they took the key, and opened them; and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
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 ；
26And Ehud escaped while they lingered, having passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto 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，
27And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a horn in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them.
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 unto them: 'Follow after me; for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.' And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and suffered not a 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。
29And they smote of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valour; and there escaped not a man.
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 that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore 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。
31And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who smote of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad; and he also saved Israel.
