约书亚记 22
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1当时， 约书亚 召了 吕便 人、 迦得 人，和 玛拿西 半支派的人来，
1Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh
2对他们说：「耶和华仆人 摩西 所吩咐你们的，你们都遵守了；我所吩咐你们的，你们也都听从了。
2and told them, “You have done all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and you have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.
3你们这许多日子，总没有撇离你们的弟兄，直到今日，并守了耶和华—你们 神所吩咐你们当守的。
3All this time you have not deserted your brothers, up to this very day, but have kept the charge given you by the LORD your God.
4如今耶和华—你们 神照着他所应许的，使你们弟兄得享平安，现在可以转回你们的帐棚，到耶和华的仆人 摩西 在 约旦河 东所赐你们为业之地。
4And now that the LORD your God has given your brothers rest as He promised them, you may return to your homes in the land that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you across the Jordan.
5只要切切地谨慎遵行耶和华仆人 摩西 所吩咐你们的诫命律法，爱耶和华—你们的 神，行他一切的道，守他的诫命，专靠他，尽心尽性事奉他。」
5But be very careful to observe the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
6于是 约书亚 为他们祝福，打发他们去，他们就回自己的帐棚去了。
6So Joshua blessed them and sent them on their way, and they went to their homes.
7玛拿西 那半支派， 摩西 早已在 巴珊 分给他们 地业 。这半支派， 约书亚 在 约旦河 西，在他们弟兄中，分给他们 地业 。 约书亚 打发他们回帐棚的时候为他们祝福，
7(To the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given land in Bashan, and to the other half Joshua gave land on the west side of the Jordan among their brothers.) When Joshua sent them to their homes he blessed them,
8对他们说：「你们带许多财物，许多牲畜和金、银、铜、铁，并许多衣服，回你们的帐棚去，要将你们从仇敌夺来的物，与你们众弟兄同分。」
8saying, “Return to your homes with your great wealth, with immense herds of livestock, with silver, gold, bronze, iron, and very many clothes. Divide with your brothers the spoil of your enemies.”
9于是 吕便 人、 迦得 人、 玛拿西 半支派的人从 迦南 地的 示罗 起行，离开 以色列 人，回往他们得为业的 基列 地，就是照耶和华借 摩西 所吩咐的得了为业之地。
9So the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh left the Israelites at Shiloh in the land of Canaan to return to their own land of Gilead, which they had acquired according to the command of the LORD through Moses.
10吕便 人、 迦得 人，和 玛拿西 半支派的人到了靠近 约旦河 的一带 迦南 地，就在 约旦河 那里筑了一座坛；那坛看着高大。
10And when they came to Geliloth near the Jordan in the land of Canaan, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh built an imposing altar there by the Jordan.
11以色列 人听说 吕便 人、 迦得 人、 玛拿西 半支派的人靠近 约旦河 边，在 迦南 地属 以色列 人的那边筑了一座坛。
11Then the Israelites received the report: “Behold, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar on the border of the land of Canaan, at Geliloth near the Jordan on the Israelite side.”
12全会众一听见，就聚集在 示罗 ，要上去攻打他们。
12And when they heard this, the whole congregation of Israel assembled at Shiloh to go to war against them.
13以色列 人打发祭司 以利亚撒 的儿子 非尼哈 ，往 基列 地去见 吕便 人、 迦得 人、 玛拿西 半支派的人；
13The Israelites sent Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest to the land of Gilead, to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
14又打发十个首领与 非尼哈 同去，就是 以色列 每支派的一个首领，都是 以色列 军中的统领。
14With him they sent ten chiefs—one family leader from each tribe of Israel, each the head of a family among the clans of Israel.
15他们到了 基列 地，见 吕便 人、 迦得 人，和 玛拿西 半支派的人，对他们说：
15They went to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in the land of Gilead and said to them,
16「耶和华全会众这样说，你们今日转去不跟从耶和华，干犯 以色列 的 神，为自己筑一座坛，悖逆了耶和华，这犯的是什么罪呢？
16“This is what the whole congregation of the LORD says: ‘What is this breach of faith you have committed today against the God of Israel by turning away from the LORD and building for yourselves an altar, that you might rebel against the LORD this day?
17从前 拜 毗珥 的罪孽还算小吗？虽然瘟疫临到耶和华的会众，到今日我们还没有洗净这罪。
17Was not the sin of Peor enough for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day? It even brought a plague upon the congregation of the LORD.
18你们今日竟转去不跟从耶和华吗？你们今日既悖逆耶和华，明日他必向 以色列 全会众发怒。
18And now, would you turn away from the LORD? If you rebel today against the LORD, tomorrow He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
19你们所得为业之地，若嫌不洁净，就可以过到耶和华之地，就是耶和华的帐幕所住之地，在我们中间得地业。只是不可悖逆耶和华，也不可得罪我们，在耶和华—我们 神的坛以外为自己筑坛。
19If indeed the land of your inheritance is unclean, then cross over to the land of the LORD’s possession, where the LORD’s tabernacle stands, and take possession of it among us. But do not rebel against the LORD or against us by building for yourselves an altar other than the altar of the LORD our God.
20从前 谢拉 的曾孙 亚干 岂不是在那当灭的物上犯了罪，就有忿怒临到 以色列 全会众吗？那人在所犯的罪中不独一人死亡。」
20Was not Achan son of Zerah unfaithful regarding what was set apart for destruction, bringing wrath upon the whole congregation of Israel? Yet it was not only Achan who perished because of his sin!’”
21于是 吕便 人、 迦得 人、 玛拿西 半支派的人回答 以色列 军中的统领说：
21Then the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered the leaders of the clans of Israel:
22「大能者 神耶和华！大能者 神耶和华！他是知道的！ 以色列 人也必知道！我们若有悖逆的意思，或是干犯耶和华（愿你今日不保佑我们），
22“The LORD, the Mighty One, is God! The LORD, the Mighty One, is God! He knows, and may Israel also know. If this was in rebellion or breach of faith against the LORD, do not spare us today.
23为自己筑坛，要转去不跟从耶和华，或是要将燔祭、素祭、平安祭献在坛上，愿耶和华亲自讨我们的罪。
23If we have built for ourselves an altar to turn away from Him and to offer burnt offerings and grain offerings on it, or to sacrifice fellowship offerings on it, may the LORD Himself hold us accountable.
24我们行这事并非无故，是特意做的，说：恐怕日后你们的子孙对我们的子孙说：『你们与耶和华— 以色列 的 神有何关涉呢？
24But in fact we have done this for fear that in the future your descendants might say to ours, ‘What have you to do with the LORD, the God of Israel?
25因为耶和华把 约旦河 定为我们和你们这 吕便 人、 迦得 人的交界，你们与耶和华无分了。』这样，你们的子孙就使我们的子孙不再敬畏耶和华了。
25For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between us and you Reubenites and Gadites. You have no share in the LORD!’ So your descendants could cause ours to stop fearing the LORD.
26因此我们说：『不如为自己筑一座坛，不是为献燔祭，也不是为献 别的 祭，
26That is why we said, ‘Let us take action and build an altar for ourselves, but not for burnt offerings or sacrifices.
27乃是为你我中间和你我后人中间作证据，好叫我们也在耶和华面前献燔祭、平安祭，和 别的 祭事奉他，免得你们的子孙日后对我们的子孙说，你们与耶和华无分了。』
27Rather, let it be a witness between us and you and the generations to come, that we will worship the LORD in His presence with our burnt offerings, sacrifices, and peace offerings.’ Then in the future, your descendants cannot say to ours, ‘You have no share in the LORD!’
28所以我们说：『日后你们对我们，或对我们的后人这样说，我们就可以回答说，你们看我们列祖所筑的坛是耶和华坛的样式；这并不是为献燔祭，也不是为献 别的 祭，乃是为作你我中间的证据。』
28Therefore we said, ‘If they ever say this to us or to our descendants, we will answer: Look at the replica of the altar of the LORD that our fathers made, not for burnt offerings or sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.’
29我们在耶和华—我们 神帐幕前的坛以外，另筑一座坛，为献燔祭、素祭，和 别的 祭，悖逆耶和华，今日转去不跟从他，我们断没有这个意思。」
29Far be it from us to rebel against the LORD and turn away from Him today by building an altar for burnt offerings, grain offerings, or sacrifices, other than the altar of the LORD our God, which stands before His tabernacle.”
30祭司 非尼哈 与会中的首领，就是与他同来 以色列 军中的统领，听见 吕便 人、 迦得 人、 玛拿西 人所说的话，就都以为美。
30When Phinehas the priest and the chiefs of the congregation—the heads of Israel’s clans who were with him—heard what the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh had to say, they were satisfied.
31祭司 以利亚撒 的儿子 非尼哈 对 吕便 人、 迦得 人、 玛拿西 人说：「今日我们知道耶和华在我们中间，因为你们没有向他犯了这罪。现在你们救 以色列 人脱离耶和华的手了。」
31Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest said to the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, “Today we know that the LORD is among us, because you have not committed this breach of faith against Him. Consequently, you have delivered the Israelites from the hand of the LORD.”
32祭司 以利亚撒 的儿子 非尼哈 与众首领离了 吕便 人、 迦得 人，从 基列 地回往 迦南 地，到了 以色列 人那里， 便将这事 回报他们。
32Then Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, together with the other leaders, returned to the Israelites in the land of Canaan and brought back a report regarding the Reubenites and Gadites in the land of Gilead.
33以色列 人以这事为美，就称颂 神，不再提上去攻打 吕便 人、 迦得 人、毁坏他们所住的地了。
33The Israelites were satisfied with the report, and they blessed God and spoke no more about going to war against them to destroy the land where the Reubenites and Gadites lived.
34吕便 人、 迦得 人给坛起名叫 证坛 ，意思说：这坛在我们中间证明耶和华是 神。
34So the Reubenites and Gadites named the altar Witness, for they said, “It is a witness between us that the LORD is God.”
