Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And an angel of the Lord went up from Galgal to the place of weepers, and said: I made you go out of Egypt, and have brought you into the land for which I swore to your fathers: and I promised that I would not make void my covenant with you for ever:
1耶和華的使者從 吉甲 上到 波金 ，對 以色列 人說：「我使你們從 埃及 上來，領你們到我向你們列祖起誓應許之地。我又說：『我永不廢棄與你們所立的約。
2On condition that you should not make a league with the inhabitants of this land, but should throw down their altars: and you would not hear my voice: why have you done this?
2你們也不可與這地的居民立約，要拆毀他們的祭壇。你們竟沒有聽從我的話！為何這樣行呢？』
3Wherefore I would not destroy them from before your face: that you may have enemies, and their gods may be your ruin.
3因此我又說：『我必不將他們從你們面前趕出；他們必作你們肋下的 荊棘 。他們的神必作你們的網羅。』」
4And when the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, they lifted up their voice, and wept.
4耶和華的使者向 以色列 眾人說這話的時候，百姓就放聲而哭；
5And the name of that place was called, The place of weepers, or of tears: and there they offered sacrifices to the Lord.
5於是給那地方起名叫 波金 。眾人在那裏向耶和華獻祭。
6And Josue sent away the people, and the children of Israel went every one to his own possession to hold it:
6從前 約書亞 打發 以色列 百姓去的時候，他們各歸自己的地業，佔據地土。
7And they served the Lord all his days, and the days of the ancients, that lived a long time after him, and who knew all the works of the Lord, which he had done for Israel.
7約書亞 在世和 約書亞 死後，那些見耶和華為 以色列 人所行大事的長老還在的時候，百姓都事奉耶和華。
8And Josue the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being a hundred and ten years old,
8耶和華的僕人、 嫩 的兒子 約書亞 ，正一百一十歲就死了。
9And they buried him in the borders of his possession in Thamnathsare in mount Ephraim, on the north side of mount Gaas.
9以色列 人將他葬在他地業的境內，就是在 以法蓮 山地的 亭拿‧希烈 ，在 迦實山 的北邊。
10And all that generation was gathered to their fathers: and there arose others that knew not the Lord, and the works which he had done for Israel.
10那世代的人也都歸了自己的列祖。後來有別的世代興起，不知道耶和華，也不知道耶和華為 以色列 人所行的事。
11And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they served Baalim.
11以色列 人行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，去事奉諸 巴力 ，
12And they left the Lord the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt: and they followed strange gods, and the gods of the people that dwelt round about them, and they adored them: and they provoked the Lord to anger.
12離棄了領他們出 埃及 地的耶和華－他們列祖的上帝，去叩拜別神，就是四圍列國的神，惹耶和華發怒；
13Forsaking him, and serving Baal and Astaroth.
13並離棄耶和華，去事奉 巴力 和 亞斯她錄 。
14And the Lord being angry against Israel, delivered them into the hands of plunderers: who took them and sold them to their enemies, that dwelt round about: neither could they stand against their enemies:
14耶和華的怒氣向 以色列 人發作，就把他們交在搶奪他們的人手中，又將他們付與四圍仇敵的手中，甚至他們在仇敵面前再不能站立得住。
15But whithersoever they meant to go, the hand of the Lord was upon them, as he had said, and as he had sworn to them: and they were greatly distressed.
15他們無論往何處去，耶和華都以災禍攻擊他們，正如耶和華所說的話，又如耶和華向他們所起的誓；他們便極其困苦。
16And the Lord raised up judges, to deliver them from the hands of those that oppressed them: but they would not hearken to them,
16耶和華興起士師，士師就拯救他們脫離搶奪他們人的手。
17Committing fornication with strange gods, and adoring them. They quickly forsook the way, in which their fathers had walked: and hearing the commandments of the Lord, they did all things contrary.
17他們卻不聽從士師，竟隨從叩拜別神，行了邪淫，速速地偏離他們列祖所行的道，不如他們列祖順從耶和華的命令。
18And when the Lord raised them up judges, in their days he was moved to mercy, and heard the groanings of the afflicted, and delivered them from the slaughter of the oppressors.
18耶和華為他們興起士師，就與那士師同在。士師在世的一切日子，耶和華拯救他們脫離仇敵的手。他們因受欺壓擾害，就哀聲歎氣，所以耶和華後悔了。
19But after the judge was dead, they returned, and did much worse things than their fathers had done, following strange gods, serving them and adoring them. They left not their own inventions, and the stubborn way, by which they were accustomed to walk.
19及至士師死後，他們就轉去行惡，比他們列祖更甚，去事奉叩拜別神，總不斷絕頑梗的惡行。
20And the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he said: Behold this nation hath made void my covenant, which I had made with their fathers, and hath despised to hearken to my voice:
20於是耶和華的怒氣向 以色列 人發作。他說：「因這民違背我吩咐他們列祖所守的約，不聽從我的話，
21I also will not destroy the nations which Josue left, when he died:
21所以 約書亞 死的時候所剩下的各族，我必不再從他們面前趕出，
22That through them I may try Israel, whether they will keep the way of the Lord, and walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not.
22為要藉此試驗 以色列 人，看他們肯照他們列祖謹守遵行我的道不肯。」
23The Lord therefore left all these nations, and would not quickly destroy them, neither did he deliver them into the hands of Josue.
23這樣耶和華留下各族，不將他們速速趕出，也沒有交付 約書亞 的手。
