士師記 20
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1於是 以色列 從 但 到 別是巴 ，以及住 基列 地的眾人都出來，如同一人，聚集在 米斯巴 耶和華面前。
1Then all the children of Israel went out and gathered together as one man from Dan to Bersabee, with the land of Galaad, to the Lord in Maspha:
2以色列 民的首領，就是各支派的軍長，都站在上帝百姓的會中；拿刀的步兵共有四十萬。
2And all the chiefs of the people, and all the tribes of Israel met together in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen fit for war.
3以色列 人上到 米斯巴 ， 便雅憫 人都聽見了。 以色列 人說：「請你將這件惡事的情由對我們說明。」
3(Nor were the children of Benjamin ignorant that the children of Israel were come up to Maspha.) And the Levite the husband of the woman that was killed, being asked, how so great a wickedness had been committed,
4那 利未 人，就是被害之婦人的丈夫，回答說：「我和我的妾到了 便雅憫 的 基比亞 住宿。
4Answered: I came into Gabaa of Benjamin with my wife, and there I lodged:
5基比亞 人夜間起來，圍了我住的房子，想要殺我，又將我的妾強姦致死。
5And behold the men of that city in the night beset the house wherein I was, intending to kill me, and abused my wife with an incredible fury of lust, so that at last she died.
6我就把我妾的屍身切成塊子，使人拿着傳送 以色列 得為業的全地，因為 基比亞 人在 以色列 中行了兇淫醜惡的事。
6And I took her and cut her in pieces, and sent the, parts into all the borders of your possession: because there never was so heinous a crime, and so great an abomination committed in Israel.
7你們 以色列 人都當籌劃商議。」
7You are all here, O children of Israel, determine what you ought to do.
8眾民都起來如同一人，說：「我們連一人都不回自己帳棚、自己房屋去。
8And all the people standing, answered as by the voice of one man: We will not return to our tents, neither shall any one of us go into his own house:
9我們向 基比亞 人必這樣行，照所掣的籤去攻擊他們。
9But this we will do in common against Gabaa:
10我們要在 以色列 各支派中，一百人挑取十人，一千人挑取百人，一萬人挑取千人，為民運糧，等大眾到了 便雅憫 的 基比亞 ，就照 基比亞 人在 以色列 中所行的醜事征伐他們。」
10We will take ten men of a hundred out of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to bring victuals for the army, that we might fight against Gabaa of Benjamin, and render to it for its wickedness, what it deserveth.
11於是 以色列 眾人彼此連合如同一人，聚集攻擊那城。
11And all Israel were gathered together against the city, as one man, with one mind, and one counsel:
12以色列 眾支派打發人去，問 便雅憫 支派的各家說：「你們中間怎麼做了這樣的惡事呢？
12And they sent messengers to all the tribe of Benjamin to say to them: Why hath so great an abomination been found among you?
13現在你們要將 基比亞 的那些匪徒交出來，我們好治死他們，從 以色列 中除掉這惡。」 便雅憫 人卻不肯聽從他們弟兄 以色列 人的話。
13Deliver up the men of Gabaa, that have committed this heinous crime, that they may die, and the evil may be taken away out of Israel. But they would not hearken to the proposition of their brethren the children of Israel:
14便雅憫 人從他們的各城裏出來，聚集到了 基比亞 ，要與 以色列 人打仗。
14But out of all the cities which were of their lot, they gathered themselves together into Gabaa, to aid them, and to fight against the whole people of Israel.
15那時 便雅憫 人從各城裏點出拿刀的，共有二萬六千；另外還有 基比亞 人點出七百精兵。
15And there were found of Benjamin five and twenty thousand men that drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa,
16在眾軍之中有揀選的七百精兵，都是左手便利的，能用機弦甩石打人，毫髮不差。
16Who were seven hundred most valiant men, fighting with the left hand as well as with the right: and slinging stones so sure that they could hit even a hair, and not miss by the stone’s going on either side.
17便雅憫 人之外，點出 以色列 人拿刀的，共有四十萬，都是戰士。
17Of the men of Israel also, beside the children of Benjamin, were found four hundred thousand that drew swords, and were prepared to fight.
18以色列 人就起來，到 伯特利 去求問上帝說：「我們中間誰當首先上去與 便雅憫 人爭戰呢？」耶和華說：「 猶大 當先 上去 。」
18And they arose and came to the house of God, that is, to Silo: and they consulted God, and said: Who shall be in our army the first to go to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord answered them: Let Juda be your leader.
19以色列 人早晨起來，對着 基比亞 安營。
19And forthwith the children of Israel rising in the morning, camped by Gabaa:
20以色列 人出來，要與 便雅憫 人打仗，就在 基比亞 前擺陣。
20And going out from thence to fight against Benjamin, began to assault the city.
21便雅憫 人就從 基比亞 出來，當日殺死 以色列 人二萬二千。
21And the children of Benjamin coming out of Gabaa, slew of the children of Israel that day two and twenty thousand men.
22以色列 人彼此奮勇，仍在頭一日擺陣的地方又擺陣。
22Again Israel trusting in their strength and their number, set their army in array in the same place, where they had fought before:
23未擺陣之先， 以色列 人上去，在耶和華面前哭號，直到晚上，求問耶和華說：「我們再去與我們弟兄 便雅憫 人打仗可以不可以？」耶和華說：「可以上去攻擊他們。」
23Yet so that they first went up and wept before the Lord until night: and consulted him, and said: Shall I go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin my brethren, or not? And he answered them: Go up against them, and join battle.
24第二日， 以色列 人就上前攻擊 便雅憫 人。
24And when the children of Israel went out the next day to fight against the children of Benjamin,
25便雅憫 人也在這日從 基比亞 出來，與 以色列 人接戰，又殺死他們一萬八千，都是拿刀的。
25The children of Benjamin sallied forth out of the gates of Gabaa: and meeting them made so great a slaughter of them, as to kill eighteen thousand men that drew the sword.
26以色列 眾人就上到 伯特利 ，坐在耶和華面前哭號，當日禁食直到晚上；又在耶和華面前獻燔祭和平安祭。
26Wherefore all the children of Israel came to the house of God, and sat and wept before the Lord: and they fasted that day till the evening, and offered to him holocausts, and victims of peace offerings,
27那時，上帝的約櫃在那裏； 亞倫 的孫子、 以利亞撒 的兒子 非尼哈 侍立在約櫃前。 以色列 人問耶和華說：「我們當再出去與我們弟兄 便雅憫 人打仗呢？還是罷兵呢？」耶和華說：「你們當上去，因為明日我必將他們交在你們手中。」
27And inquired of him concerning their state. At that time the ark of the covenant of the Lord was there,
no verse 28 in this text
28And Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron was over the house. So they consulted the Lord and said: Shall we go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin our brethren, or shall we cease? And the Lord said to them: Go up, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hands.
29以色列 人在 基比亞 的四圍設下伏兵。
29And the children of Israel set ambushes round about the city of Gabaa:
30第三日， 以色列 人又上去攻擊 便雅憫 人，在 基比亞 前擺陣，與前兩次一樣。
30And they drew up their army against Benjamin the third time, as they had done the first and second.
31便雅憫 人也出來迎敵，就被引誘離城；在田間兩條路上，一通 伯特利 ，一通 基比亞 ，像前兩次，動手殺死 以色列 人約有三十個。
31And the children of Benjamin boldly issued out of the city, and seeing their enemies flee, pursued them a long way, so as to wound and kill some of them, as they had done the first and second day, whilst they fled by two highways, whereof one goeth up to Bethel, and the other to Gabaa, and they slew about thirty men:
32便雅憫 人說：「他們仍舊敗在我們面前。」但 以色列 人說：「我們不如逃跑，引誘他們離開城到路上來。」
32For they thought to cut them off, as they did before. But they artfully feigning a flight, designed to draw them away from the city, and by their seeming to flee to bring them to the highways aforesaid.
33以色列 眾人都起來，在 巴力‧他瑪 擺陣， 以色列 的伏兵從 馬利‧迦巴 埋伏的地方衝上前去。
33Then all the children of Israel rising up out of the places where they were, set their army in battle array, in the place which is called Baalthamar. The ambushes also which were about the city, began by little and little to come forth,
34有 以色列 人中的一萬精兵，來到 基比亞 前接戰，勢派甚是凶猛； 便雅憫 人卻不知道災禍臨近了。
34And to march from the west side of the city. And other ten thousand men chosen out of all Israel attacked the inhabitants of the city. And the battle grew hot against the children of Benjamin: and they understood not that present death threatened them on every side.
35耶和華使 以色列 人殺敗 便雅憫 人。那日， 以色列 人殺死 便雅憫 人二萬五千一百，都是拿刀的。
35And the Lord defeated them before the children of Israel, and they slew of them in that day five and twenty thousand, and one hundred, all fighting men and that drew the sword.
36於是 便雅憫 人知道自己敗了。先是 以色列 人；因為靠着在 基比亞 前所設的伏兵，就在 便雅憫 人面前詐敗。
36But the children of Benjamin when they saw themselves to be too weak, began to flee. Which the children of Israel seeing, gave them place to flee, that they might come to the ambushes that were prepared, which they had set near the city.
37伏兵急忙闖進 基比亞 ，用刀殺死全城的人。
37And they that were in ambush arose on a sudden out of their coverts, and whilst Benjamin turned their backs to the slayers, went into the city, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
38以色列 人預先同伏兵約定在城內放火，以煙氣上騰為號。
38Now the children of Israel had given a sign to them, whom they had laid in ambushes, that after they had taken the city, they should make a fire: that by the smoke rising on high, they might shew that the city was taken.
39以色列 人臨退陣的時候， 便雅憫 人動手殺死 以色列 人，約有三十個，就說：「他們仍像前次被我們殺敗了。」
39And when the children of Israel saw this in the battle (for the children of Benjamin thought they fled and pursued them vigorously, killing thirty men of their army)
40當煙氣如柱從城中上騰的時候， 便雅憫 人回頭觀看，見全城的 煙氣 沖天。
40And perceived as it were a pillar of smoke rise up from the city; and Benjamin looking back, saw that the city was taken, and that the flames ascended on high:
41以色列 人又轉身回來， 便雅憫 人就甚驚惶，因為看見災禍臨到自己了。
41They that before had made as if they fled, turning their faces stood bravely against them; which the children of Benjamin seeing, turned their backs,
42他們在 以色列 人面前轉身往曠野逃跑； 以色列 人在後面追殺。那從各城裏出來的，也都夾攻殺滅他們。
42And began to go towards the way of the desert, the enemy pursuing them thither also. And they that fired the city came also out to meet them.
43以色列 人圍繞 便雅憫 人，追趕他們，在他們歇腳之處、對着日出之地的 基比亞 踐踏他們。
43And so it was, that they were slain on both sides by the enemies, and there was no rest of their men dying. They fell and were beaten down on the east side of the city Gabaa.
44便雅憫 人死了的有一萬八千，都是勇士。
44And they that were slain in the same place were eighteen thousand men, all most valiant soldiers.
45其餘的人轉身向曠野逃跑，往 臨門磐 去。 以色列 人在道路上殺了他們五千人，如拾取遺穗一樣，追到 基頓 又殺了他們二千人。
45And when they that remained of Benjamin saw this, they fled into the wilderness and made towards the rock that is called Remmon. In that flight, also as they were straggling and going different ways, they slew of them five thousand men. And as they went farther, they still pursued them, and slew also other two thousand.
46那日 便雅憫 死了的共有二萬五千人，都是拿刀的勇士。
46And so it came to pass, that all that were slain of Benjamin in divers places, were five and twenty thousand fighting men, most valiant for war.
47只剩下六百人，轉身向曠野逃跑，到了 臨門磐 ，就在那裏住了四個月。
47And there remained of all the number of Benjamin only six hundred men that were able to escape, and flee to the wilderness: and they abode in the rock Remmon four months.
48以色列 人又轉到 便雅憫 地，將各城的人和牲畜，並一切所遇見的，都用刀殺盡，又放火燒了一切城邑。
48But the children of Israel returning, put all the remains of the city to the sword, both men and beasts, and all the cities and villages of Benjamin were consumed with devouring flames.
