约书亚记 22
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1当时， 约书亚 召了 吕便 人、 迦得 人，和 玛拿西 半支派的人来，
1At the same time Josue called the Rubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasses,
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 said to them: You have done all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you: you have also obeyed me in all things,
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。
3Neither have you left your brethren this long time, until this present day, keeping the commandment of 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。
4Therefore as the Lord your God hath given your brethren rest and peace, as he promised: return, and go to your dwellings, and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond 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。」
5Yet so that you observe attentively, and in work fulfill the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you: that you love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, and keep all his commandments, and cleave to him, and 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。
6And Josue blessed them, and sent them away, and they returned to their dwellings.
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，
7Now to half the tribe of Manasses, Moses had given a possession in Basan: and therefore to the half that remained, Josue gave a lot among the rest of their brethren beyond the Jordan to the west. And when he sent them away to their dwellings and had 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。」
8He said to them: With much substance and riches, you return to your settlements, with silver and gold, brass and iron, and variety of raiment: divide the prey of your enemies with your brethren.
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 children of Ruben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses returned, and parted from the children of Israel in Silo, which is in Chanaan, to go into Galaad the land of their possession, which they had obtained according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of 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 were come to the banks of the Jordan, in the land of Chanaan, they built an altar immensely great near 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。
11And when the children of Israel had heard of it, and certain messengers had brought them an account that the children of Ruben, and of Cad, and the half tribe of Manasses had built an altar in the land of Chanaan, upon the banks of the Jordan, over against the children of Israel:
12全会众一听见，就聚集在 示罗 ，要上去攻打他们。
12They all assembled in Silo, to go up and fight 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；
13And in the mean time they sent to them into the land of Galaad, Phinees the son of Eleazar the priest,
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。
14And ten princes with him, one of every tribe.
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：
15Who came to the children of Ruben, and of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses, into the land of Galaad, 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？
16Thus saith all the people of the Lord: What meaneth this transgression? Why have you forsaken the Lord the God of Israel, building a sacrilegious altar, and revolting from the worship of him?
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。
17Is it a small thing to you that you sinned with Beelphegor, and the stain of that crime remaineth in us to this day? and many of the people perished.
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 you have forsaken the Lord today, and tomorrow his wrath will rage against all 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。
19But if you think the land of your possession to be unclean, pass over to the land wherein is the tabernacle of the Lord, and dwell among us: only depart not from the Lord, and from our society, by building an altar beside 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。」
20Did not Achan the son of Zare transgress the commandment of the Lord, and his wrath lay upon all the people of Israel? And he was but one man, and would to God he alone had perished in his wickedness.
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：
21And the children of Ruben, and of Gad, and of the half tribe of Manasses answered the princes of the embassage 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），
22The Lord the most mighty God, the Lord the most mighty God, he knoweth, and Israel also shall understand: If with the design of transgression we have set up this altar, let him not save us, but punish us immediately:
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。
23And if we did it with that mind, that we might lay upon it holocausts, and sacrifice, and victims of peace offerings, let him require and judge:
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？
24And not rather with this thought and design, that we should say: Tomorrow your children will say to our children: 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。
25The Lord hath put the river Jordan for a border between us and you, O ye children of Ruben, and ye children of Gad: and therefore you have no part in the Lord. And by this occasion you children shall turn away our children from the fear of the Lord. We therefore thought, it best,
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，
26And said: Let us build us an altar, not for holocausts, nor to offer victims,
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。』
27But for a testimony between us and you, and our posterity and yours, that we may serve the Lord, and that we may have a right to offer both holocausts, and victims and sacrifices of peace offerings: and that your children tomorrow may not say to our children: You have no part 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。』
28And if they will say so, they shall answer them: Behold the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for holocausts, nor for sacrifice, but for a testimony 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。」
29God keep us from any such wickedness that we should revolt from the Lord, and leave off following his steps, by building an altar to offer holocausts, and sacrifices, and victims, beside the altar of the Lord our God, which is erected 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。
30And when Phinees the priest, and the princes of the embassage, who were with him, had heard this, they were satisfied: and they admitted most willingly the words of the children of Ruben, and Gad, and of the half tribe of Manasses.
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。」
31And Phinees the priest the son of Eleazar said to them: Now we know that the Lord is with us, because you are not guilty of this revolt, and you have delivered the children of Israel 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。
32And he returned with the princes from the children of Ruben and Gad, out of the land of Galaad, into the land of Chanaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
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。
33And the saying pleased all that heard it. And the children of Israel praised God, and they no longer said that they would go up against them, and fight, and destroy the land of their possession.
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。
34And the children of Ruben, and the children of Cad called the altar which they had built, Our testimony, that the Lord is God.
