士師記 3
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1耶和華留下這幾族，為要試驗那不曾知道與 迦南 爭戰之事的 以色列 人，
1Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to test Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
2好叫 以色列 的後代又知道又學習未曾曉得的戰事。
2only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at least those who knew nothing of it before:
3所 留下的 就是 非利士 的五個首領和一切 迦南 人、 西頓 人，並住 黎巴嫩山 的 希未 人，從 巴力‧黑們山 直到 哈馬口 。
3the five lords of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath.
4留 下 這幾族，為要試驗 以色列 人，知道他們肯聽從耶和華藉 摩西 吩咐他們列祖的誡命不肯。
4They were left to test Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the LORD’s commandments, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.
5以色列 人竟住在 迦南 人、 赫 人、 亞摩利 人、 比利洗 人、 希未 人、 耶布斯 人中間，
5The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
6娶他們的女兒為妻，將自己的女兒嫁給他們的兒子，並事奉他們的神。
6They took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.
7以色列 人行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，忘記耶和華－他們的上帝，去事奉諸 巴力 和 亞舍拉 ，
7The children of Israel did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.
8所以耶和華的怒氣向 以色列 人發作，就把他們交在 美索不達米亞 王 古珊‧利薩田 的手中。 以色列 人服事 古珊‧利薩田 八年。
8Therefore the LORD’s anger burned against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan Rishathaim eight years.
9以色列 人呼求耶和華的時候，耶和華就為他們興起一位拯救者救他們，就是 迦勒 兄弟 基納斯 的兒子 俄陀聶 。
9When the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
10耶和華的靈降在他身上，他就作了 以色列 的士師，出去爭戰。耶和華將 美索不達米亞 王 古珊‧利薩田 交在他手中，他便勝了 古珊‧利薩田 。
10The LORD’s Spirit came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand. His hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim.
11於是國中太平四十年。 基納斯 的兒子 俄陀聶 死了。
11The land had rest forty years, then Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
12以色列 人又行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，耶和華就使 摩押 王 伊磯倫 強盛，攻擊 以色列 人。
12The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
13伊磯倫 招聚 亞捫 人和 亞瑪力 人，去攻打 以色列 人，佔據棕樹城。
13He gathered the children of Ammon and Amalek to himself; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
14於是 以色列 人服事 摩押 王 伊磯倫 十八年。
14The children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15以色列 人呼求耶和華的時候，耶和華就為他們興起一位拯救者，就是 便雅憫 人 基拉 的兒子 以笏 ；他是左手便利的。 以色列 人託他送禮物給 摩押 王 伊磯倫 。
15But when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a savior for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.
16以笏 打了一把兩刃的劍，長一肘，帶在右腿上衣服裏面。
16Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he wore it under his clothing on his right thigh.
17他將禮物獻給 摩押 王 伊磯倫 （原來 伊磯倫 極其肥胖）；
17He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.
18以笏 獻完禮物，便將抬禮物的人打發走了，
18When Ehud had finished offering the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute.
19自己卻從靠近 吉甲 鑿石之地回來，說：「王啊，我有一件機密事奏告你。」王說：「迴避吧！」於是左右侍立的人都退去了。
19But he himself turned back from the stone idols that were by Gilgal, and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” The king said, “Keep silence!” All who stood by him left him.
20以笏 來到王面前；王獨自一人坐在涼樓上。 以笏 說：「我奉上帝的命報告你一件事。」王就從座位上站起來。
20Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said, “I have a message from God to you.” He arose out of his seat.
21以笏 便伸左手，從右腿上拔出劍來，刺入王的肚腹，
21Ehud put out his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body.
22連劍把都刺進去了。劍被肥肉夾住，他沒有從王的肚腹拔出來，且穿通了後身。
22The handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn’t draw the sword out of his body; and it came out behind.
23以笏 就出到遊廊，將樓門盡都關鎖。
23Then Ehud went out onto the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.
24以笏 出來之後，王的僕人到了，看見樓門關鎖，就說：「他必是在樓上大解。」
24After he had gone, his servants came and saw that the doors of the upper room were locked. They said, “Surely he is covering his feet in the upper room.”
25他們等煩了，見仍不開樓門，就拿鑰匙開了，不料，他們的主人已死，倒在地上。
25They waited until they were ashamed; and behold, he didn’t open the doors of the upper room. Therefore they took the key and opened them, and behold, their lord had fallen down dead on the floor.
26他們耽延的時候， 以笏 就逃跑了，經過鑿石之地，逃到 西伊拉 ；
26Ehud escaped while they waited, passed beyond the stone idols, and escaped to Seirah.
27到了，就在 以法蓮 山地吹角。 以色列 人隨着他下了山地，他在前頭引路，
27When he had come, he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he led them.
28對他們說：「你們隨我來，因為耶和華已經把你們的仇敵 摩押 人交在你們手中。」於是他們跟着他下去，把守 約旦河 的渡口，不容 摩押 一人過去。
28He said to them, “Follow me; for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” They followed him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and didn’t allow any man to pass over.
29那時擊殺了 摩押 人約有一萬，都是強壯的勇士，沒有一人逃脫。
29They struck at that time about ten thousand men of Moab, every strong man and every man of valor. No man escaped.
30這樣， 摩押 就被 以色列 人制伏了。國中太平八十年。
30So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. Then the land had rest eighty years.
31以笏 之後，有 亞拿 的兒子 珊迦 ，他用趕牛的棍子打死六百 非利士 人。他也救了 以色列 人。
31After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox goad. He also saved Israel.
