士師記 3
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
留下來的國家
3 耶和華留下這些國家,為要考驗所有未曾經歷迦南任何戰役的以色列人, 2 只是為了要以色列人的後代認識戰爭,教導他們,尤其那些未曾認識這些事的人。 3 留下的有非利士的五個領袖,所有的迦南人,西頓人,以及從巴力‧黑門山到哈馬口,住黎巴嫩山的希未人。 4 他們是為了要考驗以色列,好知道他們是否肯聽從耶和華藉摩西吩咐他們列祖的命令。 5 以色列人住在迦南人、赫人、亞摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人中間, 6 娶他們的女兒,將自己的女兒嫁給他們的兒子,並事奉他們的神明。
俄陀聶
7 以色列人行耶和華眼中看為惡的事,忘記耶和華—他們的 神,去事奉諸巴力和亞舍拉, 8 所以耶和華的怒氣向以色列發作,把他們交給美索不達米亞[a]王古珊‧利薩田的手中。以色列人服事古珊‧利薩田八年。 9 以色列人呼求耶和華,耶和華就為以色列人興起一位拯救者來救他們,就是迦勒的弟弟基納斯的兒子俄陀聶。 10 耶和華的靈降在他身上,他就作了以色列的士師。他出去爭戰,耶和華將亞蘭王古珊‧利薩田交在他手中,他的手戰勝了古珊‧利薩田。 11 於是這地太平四十年。基納斯的兒子俄陀聶死了。
以笏
12 以色列人又行耶和華眼中看為惡的事。耶和華使摩押王伊磯倫強大,攻擊以色列,因為他們行耶和華眼中看為惡的事。 13 伊磯倫召集亞捫人和亞瑪力人到他那裏,他就去攻打以色列,佔據了棕樹城。 14 於是以色列人服事摩押王伊磯倫十八年。
15 以色列人呼求耶和華,耶和華就為他們興起一位拯救者,便雅憫人基拉的兒子以笏,他是個慣用左手的人[b]。以色列人託他送禮物給摩押王伊磯倫。 16 以笏打造了一把兩刃的劍,長一短肘[c],綁在右腿上衣服裏面。 17 他把禮物獻給摩押王伊磯倫。伊磯倫是個很肥胖的人。 18 以笏獻完禮物的時候,就把抬禮物的人送走。 19 但他自己卻從靠近吉甲的雕像那裏轉回來,說:「王啊,我有一件機密的事要奏告你。」王說:「迴避吧!」於是所有侍立在他左右的人都退去了。 20 以笏來到王那裏,那時他獨自一人坐在陰涼的頂樓。以笏說:「我有 神的話向你報告。」王就從座位上站起來。 21 以笏伸出左手,從右腿上拔出劍來,刺入王的肚腹。 22 劍柄連同劍刃都刺進去了,肥肉夾住了劍刃。他沒有把劍從王的肚腹拔出來,糞便就流出來了[d]。 23 以笏出到門廊,把王關在樓門裏面,就上了鎖。 24 以笏出來之後,王的僕人就來了。他們觀看,看哪,樓門鎖住,就說:「他必是在陰涼的房間裏大解。」 25 他們等得不耐煩,看哪,樓門仍然不開,就拿鑰匙打開樓門,看哪,他們的主人已經倒在地上死了。
26 他們躭延的時候,以笏就逃跑了。他經過雕像那裏,逃到西伊拉。 27 他到了那裏,就在以法蓮山區吹角。以色列人跟隨他從山區下來,他在他們前面引路, 28 對他們說:「緊跟着我!因為耶和華已經把你們的仇敵摩押交在你們手中。」於是他們跟着他下去,佔據了摩押對面約旦河的渡口,不准一人過去。 29 那時,他們擊殺了約一萬摩押人,都是強壯的勇士,連一個也沒有逃脫。 30 那日,摩押在以色列手下制伏了。於是這地太平八十年。
珊迦
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。他也拯救了以色列。
Judges 3
King James Version
3 Now these are the nations which the Lord left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
2 Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
3 Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and forgat the Lord their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
8 Therefore the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.
9 And when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
10 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the Lord delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.
11 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the Lord.
13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15 But when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.
16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
17 And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
19 But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
22 And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
24 When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.
27 And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.
28 And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the Lord hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
29 And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
