士师记 3
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
World English 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，
1Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to test 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 least those who knew nothing of it before:
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 lords of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to 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。
4They were left to test Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the LORD’s commandments, which he commanded their fathers by 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，
5The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, 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。
6They 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 ，
7The children of Israel did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baals 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 LORD’s anger burned against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; 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 。
9When the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a savior 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 。
10The LORD’s Spirit came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand. 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。
11The land had rest forty years, then 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。
12The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the LORD’s 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。
13He gathered the children of Ammon and Amalek to himself; and he went and struck 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。
14The 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 to the LORD, the LORD raised up a savior for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to 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。
16Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he wore it under his clothing on 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）；
17He offered the tribute to 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，
18When Ehud had finished offering the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute.
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 stone idols that were by Gilgal, and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” The king said, “Keep silence!” All who stood by him 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。
20Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said, “I have a message from God to you.” 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，
21Ehud put out his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body.
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。
22The handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn’t draw the sword out of his body; and it came out behind.
23以笏 就出到游廊，将楼门尽都关锁。
23Then Ehud went out onto the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on 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。」
24After he had gone, his servants came and saw that the doors of the upper room were locked. They said, “Surely he is covering his feet in the upper room.”
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。
25They waited until they were ashamed; and behold, he didn’t open the doors of the upper room. Therefore they took the key and opened them, and behold, their lord had fallen down 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 escaped while they waited, passed beyond the stone 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，
27When he had come, he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he led 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。
28He said to them, “Follow me; for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” They followed him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and didn’t allow any 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。
29They struck at that time about ten thousand men of Moab, every strong man and every man of valor. No man 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 that day under the hand of Israel. Then the land had rest 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 Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox goad. He also saved Israel.
