士师记 8
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1以法莲 人对 基甸 说：「你去与 米甸 人争战，没有招我们同去，为什么这样待我们呢？」他们就与 基甸 大大地争吵。
1Then the men of Ephraim said to Gideon, “Why have you done this to us? Why did you fail to call us when you went to fight against Midian?” And they contended with him violently.
2基甸 对他们说：「我所行的岂能比你们所行的呢？ 以法莲 拾取剩下的葡萄不强过 亚比以谢 所摘的葡萄吗？
2But Gideon answered them, “Now what have I accomplished compared to you? Are not the gleanings of Ephraim better than the grape harvest of Abiezer?
3神已将 米甸 人的两个首领 俄立 和 西伊伯 交在你们手中；我所行的岂能比你们所行的呢？」 基甸 说了这话， 以法莲 人的怒气就消了。
3God has delivered Oreb and Zeeb, the two princes of Midian, into your hand. What was I able to do compared to you?” When he had said this, their anger against him subsided.
4基甸 和跟随他的三百人到 约旦河 过渡，虽然疲乏，还是追赶。
4Then Gideon and his three hundred men came to the Jordan and crossed it, exhausted yet still in pursuit.
5基甸 对 疏割 人说：「求你们拿饼来给跟随我的人吃，因为他们疲乏了；我们追赶 米甸 人的两个王 西巴 和 撒慕拿 。」
5So Gideon said to the men of Succoth, “Please give my troops some bread, for they are exhausted, and I am still pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.”
6疏割 人的首领回答说：「 西巴 和 撒慕拿 已经在你手里，你使我们将饼给你的军兵吗？」
6But the leaders of Succoth asked, “Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your possession, that we should give bread to your army?”
7基甸 说：「耶和华将 西巴 和 撒慕拿 交在我手之后，我就用野地的荆条和枳棘打伤你们。」
7“Very well,” Gideon replied, “when the LORD has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, I will tear your flesh with the thorns and briers of the wilderness!”
8基甸 从那里上到 毗努伊勒 ，对那里的人也是这样说； 毗努伊勒 人也与 疏割 人回答他的话一样。
8From there he went up to Penuel and asked the same from them, but the men of Penuel gave the same response as the men of Succoth.
9他向 毗努伊勒 人说：「我平平安安回来的时候，我必拆毁这楼。」
9So Gideon told the men of Penuel, “When I return in triumph, I will tear down this tower!”
10那时 西巴 和 撒慕拿 ，并跟随他们的军队都在 加各 ，约有一万五千人，就是东方人全军所剩下的；已经被杀约有十二万拿刀的。
10Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with their army of about fifteen thousand men—all that were left of the armies of the people of the east. A hundred and twenty thousand swordsmen had already fallen.
11基甸 就由 挪巴 和 约比哈 东边，从住帐棚人的路上去，杀败了 米甸 人的军兵，因为他们坦然无惧。
11And Gideon went up by way of the caravan route east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and he attacked their army, taking them by surprise.
12西巴 和 撒慕拿 逃跑； 基甸 追赶他们，捉住 米甸 的二王 西巴 和 撒慕拿 ，惊散全军。
12When Zebah and Zalmunna fled, Gideon pursued and captured these two kings of Midian, routing their entire army.
13约阿施 的儿子 基甸 由 希列斯 坡从阵上回来，
13After this, Gideon son of Joash returned from the battle along the Ascent of Heres.
14捉住 疏割 的一个少年人，问他：「 疏割 的首领长老是谁？」他就将首领长老七十七个人的名字写出来。
14There he captured a young man of Succoth and interrogated him. The young man wrote down for him the names of the seventy-seven leaders and elders of Succoth.
15基甸 到了 疏割 ，对那里的人说：「你们从前讥诮我说：『 西巴 和 撒慕拿 已经在你手里，你使我们将饼给 跟随 你的疲乏人吗？』现在 西巴 和 撒慕拿 在这里。」
15And Gideon went to the men of Succoth and said, “Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you taunted me, saying, ‘Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your possession, that we should give bread to your weary men?’”
16于是捉住那城内的长老，用野地的荆条和枳棘责打 疏割 人；
16Then he took the elders of the city, and using the thorns and briers of the wilderness, he disciplined the men of Succoth.
17又拆了 毗努伊勒 的楼，杀了那城里的人。
17He also pulled down the tower of Penuel and killed the men of the city.
18基甸 问 西巴 和 撒慕拿 说：「你们在 他泊山 所杀的人是什么样式？」回答说：「他们好像你，各人都有王子的样式。」
18Next, Gideon asked Zebah and Zalmunna, “What kind of men did you kill at Tabor?” “Men like you,” they answered, “each one resembling the son of a king.”
19基甸 说：「他们是我同母的弟兄，我指着永生的耶和华起誓，你们从前若存留他们的性命，我如今就不杀你们了。」
19“They were my brothers,” Gideon replied, “the sons of my mother! As surely as the LORD lives, if you had let them live, I would not kill you.”
20于是对他的长子 益帖 说：「你起来杀他们。」但 益帖 因为是童子，害怕，不敢拔刀。
20So he said to Jether, his firstborn, “Get up and kill them.” But the young man did not draw his sword; he was fearful because he was still a youth.
21西巴 和 撒慕拿 说：「你自己起来杀我们吧！因为人如何，力量也是如何。」 基甸 就起来，杀了 西巴 和 撒慕拿 ，夺获他们骆驼项上戴的月牙圈。
21Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Get up and kill us yourself, for as the man is, so is his strength.” So Gideon got up and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the crescent ornaments from the necks of their camels.
22以色列 人对 基甸 说：「你既救我们脱离 米甸 人的手，愿你和你的儿孙管理我们。」
22Then the Israelites said to Gideon, “Rule over us—you and your son and grandson—for you have saved us from the hand of Midian.”
23基甸 说：「我不管理你们，我的儿子也不管理你们，惟有耶和华管理你们。」
23But Gideon replied, “I will not rule over you, nor will my son. The LORD shall rule over you.”
24基甸 又对他们说：「我有一件事求你们：请你们各人将所夺的耳环给我。」（原来仇敌是 以实玛利 人，都是戴金耳环的。）
24Then he added, “Let me make a request of you, that each of you give me an earring from his plunder.” (For the enemies had gold earrings because they were Ishmaelites.)
25他们说：「我们情愿给你」，就铺开一件外衣，各人将所夺的耳环丢在其上。
25“We will give them gladly,” they replied. So they spread out a garment, and each man threw an earring from his plunder onto it.
26基甸 所要出来的金耳环重一千七百 舍客勒 金子。此外还有 米甸 王所戴的月环、耳坠，和所穿的紫色衣服，并骆驼项上的 金 链子。
26The weight of the gold earrings he had requested was 1,700 shekels, in addition to the crescent ornaments, the pendants, the purple garments of the kings of Midian, and the chains from the necks of their camels.
27基甸 以此制造了一个以弗得，设立在本城 俄弗拉 。后来 以色列 人拜那以弗得行了邪淫；这就作了 基甸 和他全家的网罗。
27From all this Gideon made an ephod, which he placed in Ophrah, his hometown. But soon all Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his household.
28这样， 米甸 人被 以色列 人制伏了，不敢再抬头。 基甸 还在的日子，国中太平四十年。
28In this way Midian was subdued before the Israelites and did not raise its head again. So the land had rest for forty years in the days of Gideon,
29约阿施 的儿子 耶路·巴力 回去，住在自己家里。
29and he—Jerubbaal son of Joash—returned home and settled down.
30基甸 有七十个亲生的儿子，因为他有许多的妻。
30Gideon had seventy sons of his own, since he had many wives.
31他的妾住在 示剑 ，也给他生了一个儿子。 基甸 与他起名叫 亚比米勒 。
31His concubine, who dwelt in Shechem, also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech.
32约阿施 的儿子 基甸 ，年纪老迈而死，葬在 亚比以谢 族的 俄弗拉 ，在他父亲 约阿施 的坟墓里。
32Later, Gideon son of Joash died at a ripe old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
33基甸 死后， 以色列 人又去随从诸 巴力 行邪淫，以 巴力·比利土 为他们的神。
33And as soon as Gideon was dead, the Israelites turned and prostituted themselves with the Baals, and they set up Baal-berith as their god.
34以色列 人不记念耶和华—他们的 神，就是拯救他们脱离四围仇敌之手的，
34The Israelites failed to remember the LORD their God who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side.
35也不照着 耶路·巴力 ，就是 基甸 向他们所施的恩惠厚待他的家。
35They did not show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) for all the good things he had done for Israel.
