士师记 8
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
World English 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。
1The men of Ephraim said to him, “Why have you treated us this way, that you didn’t call us when you went to fight with Midian?” They rebuked him sharply.
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？
2He said to them, “What have I now done in comparison with you? Isn’t the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage 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 into your hand the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb! What was I able to do in comparison with you?” Then their anger was abated toward him when he had said that.
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。
4Gideon came to the Jordan and passed over, he and the three hundred men who were with him, faint, yet pursuing.
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 。」
5He said to the men of Succoth, “Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after 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？」
6The princes of Succoth said, “Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, 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。」
7Gideon said, “Therefore when the LORD has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.”
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。
8He went up there to Penuel, and spoke to them in the same way; and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.
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。」
9He spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, “When I come again in peace, I will break 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, and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand men, all who were left of all the army of the children of the east; for there fell one hundred twenty thousand men who drew sword.
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。
11Gideon went up by the way of those who lived in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and struck the army; for the army felt secure.
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。
12Zebah and Zalmunna fled and he pursued them. He took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and confused all the army.
13约阿施 的儿子 基甸 由 希列斯 坡从阵上回来，
13Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle from 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。
14He caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him; and he described for him the princes of Succoth, and its elders, seventy-seven men.
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。」
15He came to the men of Succoth, and said, “See Zebah and Zalmunna, concerning whom you taunted me, saying, ‘Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your men who are weary?’”
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；
16He took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
17又拆了 毗努伊勒 的楼，杀了那城里的人。
17He broke 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。」
18Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “What kind of men were they whom you killed at Tabor?” They answered, “They were like you. They all resembled the children 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。」
19He said, “They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As the LORD lives, if you had saved them alive, 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。
20He said to Jether his firstborn, “Get up and kill them!” But the youth didn’t draw his sword; for he was afraid, because he was yet 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, “You rise and fall on us; for as the man is, so is his strength.” Gideon arose, and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescents that were on their camels’ necks.
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 men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over us, both you, your son, and your son’s son also; for you have saved us out of 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。」
23Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you. 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。）
24Gideon said to them, “I do have a request: that you would each give me the earrings of his plunder.” (For they had golden 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。
25They answered, “We will willingly give them.” They spread a garment, and every man threw the earrings of his plunder into 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 golden earrings that he requested was one thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold, in addition to the crescents, and the pendants, and the purple clothing that was on the kings of Midian, and in addition to the chains that were about their camels’ necks.
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。
27Gideon made an ephod out of it, and put it in Ophrah, his city. Then all Israel played the prostitute with it there; and it became a snare to Gideon and to his house.
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。
28So Midian was subdued before the children of Israel, and they lifted up their heads no more. The land had rest 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。
29Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and lived in his own house.
30基甸 有七十个亲生的儿子，因为他有许多的妻。
30Gideon had seventy sons conceived from his body, for 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 was 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。
32Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the tomb of Joash his father, 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。
33As soon as Gideon was dead, the children of Israel turned again and played the prostitute following the Baals, and made Baal Berith 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 children of Israel didn’t remember the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hand 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。
35neither did they show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shown to Israel.
