Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor. He was the son of a prostitute. Gilead became the father of Jephthah.
1基列 人 耶弗他 是个大能的勇士，是妓女的儿子。 耶弗他 是 基列 所生的。
2Gilead’s wife bore him sons. When his wife’s sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out and said to him, “You will not inherit in our father’s house, for you are the son of another woman.”
2基列 的妻也生了几个儿子：他妻所生的儿子长大了，就赶逐 耶弗他 ，说：「你不可在我们父家承受产业，因为你是妓女的儿子。」
3Then Jephthah fled from his brothers and lived in the land of Tob. Outlaws joined up with Jephthah, and they went out with him.
3耶弗他 就逃避他的弟兄，去住在 陀伯 地，有些匪徒到他那里聚集，与他一同出入。
4After a while, the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
4过了些日子， 亚扪 人攻打 以色列 。
5When the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah out of the land of Tob.
5亚扪 人攻打 以色列 的时候， 基列 的长老到 陀伯 地去，要叫 耶弗他 回来；
6They said to Jephthah, “Come and be our chief, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.”
6对 耶弗他 说：「请你来作我们的元帅，我们好与 亚扪 人争战。」
7Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, “Didn’t you hate me, and drive me out of my father’s house? Why have you come to me now when you are in distress?”
7耶弗他 回答 基列 的长老说：「从前你们不是恨我、赶逐我出离父家吗？现在你们遭遇急难为何到我这里来呢？」
8The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “Therefore we have turned again to you now, that you may go with us and fight with the children of Ammon. You will be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”
8基列 的长老回答 耶弗他 说：「现在我们到你这里来，是要你同我们去，与 亚扪 人争战；你可以作 基列 一切居民的领袖。」
9Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, “If you bring me home again to fight with the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivers them before me, will I be your head?”
9耶弗他 对 基列 的长老说：「你们叫我回去，与 亚扪 人争战，耶和华把他交给我，我可以作你们的领袖吗？」
10The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “The LORD will be witness between us. Surely we will do what you say.”
10基列 的长老回答 耶弗他 说：「有耶和华在你我中间作见证，我们必定照你的话行。」
11Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them. Jephthah spoke all his words before the LORD in Mizpah.
11于是 耶弗他 同 基列 的长老回去，百姓就立 耶弗他 作领袖、作元帅。 耶弗他 在 米斯巴 将自己的一切话陈明在耶和华面前。
12Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, “What do you have to do with me, that you have come to me to fight against my land?”
12耶弗他 打发使者去见 亚扪 人的王，说：「你与我有什么相干，竟来到我国中攻打我呢？」
13The king of the children of Ammon answered the messengers of Jephthah, “Because Israel took away my land when he came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and to the Jordan. Now therefore restore that territory again peaceably.”
13亚扪 人的王回答 耶弗他 的使者说：「因为 以色列 人从 埃及 上来的时候占据我的地，从 亚嫩河 到 雅博河 ，直到 约旦河 。现在你要好好地将这 地 归还吧！」
14Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the children of Ammon;
14耶弗他 又打发使者去见 亚扪 人的王，
15and he said to him, “Jephthah says: Israel didn’t take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon;
15对他说：「 耶弗他 如此说， 以色列 人并没有占据 摩押 地和 亚扪 人的地。
16but when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh,
16以色列 人从 埃及 上来乃是经过旷野到 红海 ，来到 加低斯 ，
17then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, ‘Please let me pass through your land;’ but the king of Edom didn’t listen. In the same way, he sent to the king of Moab, but he refused; so Israel stayed in Kadesh.
17就打发使者去见 以东 王，说：『求你容我从你的地经过。』 以东 王却不应允。又照样打发使者去见 摩押 王，他也不允准。 以色列 人就住在 加低斯 。
18Then they went through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and they encamped on the other side of the Arnon; but they didn’t come within the border of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.
18他们又经过旷野，绕着 以东 和 摩押 地，从 摩押 地的东边过来，在 亚嫩河 边安营，并没有入 摩押 的境内，因为 亚嫩河 是 摩押 的边界。
19Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, ‘Please let us pass through your land to my place.’
19以色列 人打发使者去见 亚摩利 王 西宏 ，就是 希实本 的王，对他说：『求你容我们从你的地经过，往我们自己的地方去。』
20But Sihon didn’t trust Israel to pass through his border; but Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
20西宏 却不信服 以色列 人，不容他们经过他的境界，乃招聚他的众民在 雅杂 安营，与 以色列 人争战。
21The LORD, the God of Israel, delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they struck them. So Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
21耶和华— 以色列 的 神将 西宏 和他的众民都交在 以色列 人手中， 以色列 人就击杀他们，得了 亚摩利 人的全地：
22They possessed all the border of the Amorites, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan.
22从 亚嫩河 到 雅博河 ，从旷野直到 约旦河 。
23So now the LORD, the God of Israel, has dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and should you possess them?
23耶和华— 以色列 的 神在他百姓 以色列 面前赶出 亚摩利 人，你竟要得他们的地吗？
24Won’t you possess that which Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whoever the LORD our God has dispossessed from before us, them will we possess.
24你的神 基抹 所赐你的地你不是得为业吗？耶和华—我们的 神在我们面前所赶出的人，我们就得他的地。
25Now are you anything better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them?
25难道你比 摩押 王 西拨 的儿子 巴勒 还强吗？他曾与 以色列 人争竞，或是与他们争战吗？
26Israel lived in Heshbon and its towns, and in Aroer and its towns, and in all the cities that are along the side of the Arnon for three hundred years! Why didn’t you recover them within that time?
26以色列 人住 希实本 和属 希实本 的乡村， 亚罗珥 和属 亚罗珥 的乡村，并沿 亚嫩河 的一切城邑，已经有三百年了；在这三百年之内，你们为什么没有取回这些地方呢？
27Therefore I have not sinned against you, but you do me wrong to war against me. May the LORD the Judge be judge today between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.”
27原来我没有得罪你，你却攻打我，恶待我。愿审判人的耶和华今日在 以色列 人和 亚扪 人中间判断是非。」
28However, the king of the children of Ammon didn’t listen to the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
28但 亚扪 人的王不肯听 耶弗他 打发人说的话。
29Then the LORD’s Spirit came on Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed over to the children of Ammon.
29耶和华的灵降在 耶弗他 身上，他就经过 基列 和 玛拿西 ，来到 基列 的 米斯巴 ，又从 米斯巴 来到 亚扪 人那里。
30Jephthah vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, “If you will indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hand,
30耶弗他 就向耶和华许愿，说：「你若将 亚扪 人交在我手中，
31then it shall be, that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, it shall be the LORD’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.”
31我从 亚扪 人那里平平安安回来的时候，无论什么人，先从我家门出来迎接我，就必归你，我也必将他献上为燔祭。」
32So Jephthah passed over to the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hand.
32于是 耶弗他 往 亚扪 人那里去，与他们争战；耶和华将他们交在他手中，
33He struck them from Aroer until you come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and to Abelcheramim, with a very great slaughter. So the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
33他就大大杀败他们，从 亚罗珥 到 米匿 ，直到 亚备勒·基拉明 ，攻取了二十座城。这样 亚扪 人就被 以色列 人制伏了。
34Jephthah came to Mizpah to his house; and behold, his daughter came out to meet him with tambourines and with dances. She was his only child. Besides her he had neither son nor daughter.
34耶弗他 回 米斯巴 到了自己的家，不料，他女儿拿着鼓跳舞出来迎接他，是他独生的，此外无儿无女。
35When he saw her, he tore his clothes, and said, “Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low, and you are one of those who trouble me; for I have opened my mouth to the LORD, and I can’t go back.”
35耶弗他 看见她，就撕裂衣服，说：「哀哉！我的女儿啊，你使我甚是愁苦，叫我作难了；因为我已经向耶和华开口 许愿 ，不能挽回。」
36She said to him, “My father, you have opened your mouth to the LORD; do to me according to that which has proceeded out of your mouth, because the LORD has taken vengeance for you on your enemies, even on the children of Ammon.”
36他女儿回答说：「父啊，你既向耶和华开口，就当照你口中所说的向我行，因耶和华已经在仇敌 亚扪 人身上为你报仇」；
37Then she said to her father, “Let this thing be done for me. Leave me alone two months, that I may depart and go down on the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions.”
37又对父亲说：「有一件事求你允准：容我去两个月，与同伴在山上，好哀哭我终为处女。」
38He said, “Go.” He sent her away for two months; and she departed, she and her companions, and mourned her virginity on the mountains.
38耶弗他 说：「你去吧！」就容她去两个月。她便和同伴去了，在山上为她终为处女哀哭。
39At the end of two months, she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed. She was a virgin. It became a custom in Israel
39两月已满，她回到父亲那里，父亲就照所许的愿向她行了。女儿终身没有亲近男子。
40that the daughters of Israel went yearly to celebrate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
40此后 以色列 中有个规矩，每年 以色列 的女子去为 基列 人 耶弗他 的女儿哀哭四天。
