Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
犹大人取比色耶路撒冷希伯仑底璧诸邑
1 约书亚死后,以色列人求问耶和华说:“我们中间谁当首先上去攻击迦南人,与他们争战?” 2 耶和华说:“犹大当先上去,我已将那地交在他手中。” 3 犹大对他哥哥西缅说:“请你同我到拈阄所得之地去,好与迦南人争战,以后我也同你到你拈阄所得之地去。”于是西缅与他同去。 4 犹大就上去,耶和华将迦南人和比利洗人交在他们手中,他们在比色击杀了一万人。 5 又在那里遇见亚多尼比色,与他争战,杀败迦南人和比利洗人。 6 亚多尼比色逃跑,他们追赶,拿住他,砍断他手脚的大拇指。 7 亚多尼比色说:“从前有七十个王,手脚的大拇指都被我砍断,在我桌子底下拾取零碎食物。现在神按着我所行的报应我了。”于是他们将亚多尼比色带到耶路撒冷,他就死在那里。
8 犹大人攻打耶路撒冷,将城攻取,用刀杀了城内的人,并且放火烧城。 9 后来犹大人下去,与住山地、南地和高原的迦南人争战。 10 犹大人去攻击住希伯仑的迦南人,杀了示筛、亚希幔、挞买,希伯仑从前名叫基列亚巴。
11 他们从那里去攻击底璧的居民,底璧从前名叫基列西弗。 12 迦勒说:“谁能攻打基列西弗,将城夺取,我就把我女儿押撒给他为妻。” 13 迦勒兄弟基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂夺取了那城,迦勒就把女儿押撒给他为妻。 14 押撒过门的时候,劝丈夫向她父亲求一块田。押撒一下驴,迦勒问她说:“你要什么?” 15 她说:“求你赐福给我,你既将我安置在南地,求你也给我水泉。”迦勒就把上泉下泉赐给她。
16 摩西的内兄[a]是基尼人,他的子孙与犹大人一同离了棕树城,往亚拉得以南的犹大旷野去,就住在民中。 17 犹大和他哥哥西缅同去,击杀了住洗法的迦南人,将城尽行毁灭,那城的名便叫何珥玛。 18 犹大又取了加沙和加沙的四境,亚实基伦和亚实基伦的四境,以革伦和以革伦的四境。 19 耶和华与犹大同在,犹大就赶出山地的居民,只是不能赶出平原的居民,因为他们有铁车。 20 以色列人照摩西所说的,将希伯仑给了迦勒,迦勒就从那里赶出亚衲族的三个族长。 21 便雅悯人没有赶出住耶路撒冷的耶布斯人,耶布斯人仍在耶路撒冷与便雅悯人同住,直到今日。
22 约瑟家也上去攻打伯特利,耶和华与他们同在。 23 约瑟家打发人去窥探伯特利,那城起先名叫路斯。 24 窥探的人看见一个人从城里出来,就对他说:“求你将进城的路指示我们,我们必恩待你。” 25 那人将进城的路指示他们,他们就用刀击杀了城中的居民,但将那人和他全家放去。 26 那人往赫人之地去,筑了一座城,起名叫路斯,那城到如今还叫这名。
以色列人未逐之族
27 玛拿西没有赶出伯善和属伯善乡村的居民,他纳和属他纳乡村的居民,多珥和属多珥乡村的居民,以伯莲和属以伯莲乡村的居民,米吉多和属米吉多乡村的居民,迦南人却执意住在那些地方。 28 及至以色列强盛了,就使迦南人做苦工,没有把他们全然赶出。
29 以法莲没有赶出住基色的迦南人,于是迦南人仍住在基色,在以法莲中间。
30 西布伦没有赶出基伦的居民和拿哈拉的居民,于是迦南人仍住在西布伦中间,成了服苦的人。
31 亚设没有赶出亚柯和西顿的居民,亚黑拉和亚革悉的居民,黑巴、亚弗革与利合的居民。 32 于是,亚设因为没有赶出那地的迦南人,就住在他们中间。
33 拿弗他利没有赶出伯示麦和伯亚纳的居民,于是拿弗他利就住在那地的迦南人中间,然而伯示麦和伯亚纳的居民成了服苦的人。
34 亚摩利人强逼但人住在山地,不容他们下到平原。 35 亚摩利人却执意住在希烈山和亚雅伦并沙宾,然而约瑟家胜了他们,使他们成了服苦的人。 36 亚摩利人的境界,是从亚克拉滨坡,从西拉而上。

犹大和西缅俘掳比色王
1 约书亚死后,以色列人求问耶和华说:“谁要为我们首先去攻打迦南人,与他们作战呢?” 2 耶和华回答:“犹大要先上去,看哪,我已经把那地交在他手中。” 3 犹大对自己的兄弟西缅说:“请你与我一同上我抽签所得的地业去,我们好与迦南人交战;以后我也与你一同到你抽签所得的地业去。”于是西缅与他一同去了。 4 犹大上去了;耶和华就把迦南人和比利洗人交在他们手中;他们在比色击杀了一万人。 5 他们在那里遇见了比色王,就与他交战,击杀了迦南人和比利洗人。 6 比色王逃跑;他们追赶他,把他捉住,砍去了他手脚的大拇指。 7 比色王说:“从前有七十个王,手脚的大拇指都被我砍去,在我的桌子底下拾取食物;现在 神照着我所行的,报应我了。”于是他们把他带到耶路撒冷,后来他就死在那里。
犹大支派的胜利
8 犹大人攻打耶路撒冷,把城占领,用刀击杀了城中的居民,又放火烧城。 9 后来,犹大人下去,与住在山地、南地和高原的迦南人交战。 10 犹大人又去攻击住在希伯仑的迦南人,杀了示筛、亚希幔和挞买;希伯仑从前名叫基列.亚巴。

11 他们从那里又去攻击底璧的居民;底璧从前名叫基列.西弗。 12 迦勒说:“谁能攻打基列.西弗,把城攻取,我就把我的女儿押撒给他作妻子。” 13 迦勒的弟弟基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂攻取了那城,迦勒就把自己的女儿押撒给他作妻子。 14 押撒出嫁的时候,她劝俄陀聂向她父亲求一块田;押撒一下驴,迦勒就对她说:“你要甚么?” 15 她回答:“请你给我一份礼物;你既然把我安置在南地,求你也把水泉赐给我。”迦勒就把上泉和下泉都给了她。
犹大和便雅悯支派的战况
16 摩西岳父的子孙基尼人,和犹大人一同离开棕树城,上到亚拉得以南的犹大旷野去,住在那里的人民中。 17 犹大与他的兄弟西缅同去,击杀了住在洗法的迦南人,把那城完全毁灭。那城的名字就叫何珥玛。 18 犹大又攻取了迦萨和迦萨的四境,亚实基伦和亚实基伦的四境,以革伦和以革伦的四境。 19 耶和华与犹大同在,犹大就占领了山地;但不能赶走平原的居民,因为他们有铁车。 20 犹大照着摩西的吩咐,把希伯仑给了迦勒;迦勒就从那里赶走亚衲子孙的三族。 21 便雅悯人没有赶走住在耶路撒冷的耶布斯人,所以耶布斯人与便雅悯人一同住在耶路撒冷,直到今日。

Judges 1
New International Version
Israel Fights the Remaining Canaanites(A)
1 After the death(B) of Joshua, the Israelites asked the Lord, “Who of us is to go up first(C) to fight against the Canaanites?(D)”
2 The Lord answered, “Judah(E) shall go up; I have given the land into their hands.(F)”
3 The men of Judah then said to the Simeonites their fellow Israelites, “Come up with us into the territory allotted to us, to fight against the Canaanites. We in turn will go with you into yours.” So the Simeonites(G) went with them.
4 When Judah attacked, the Lord gave the Canaanites and Perizzites(H) into their hands, and they struck down ten thousand men at Bezek.(I) 5 It was there that they found Adoni-Bezek(J) and fought against him, putting to rout the Canaanites and Perizzites. 6 Adoni-Bezek fled, but they chased him and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
7 Then Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have picked up scraps under my table. Now God has paid me back(K) for what I did to them.” They brought him to Jerusalem,(L) and he died there.
8 The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem(M) also and took it. They put the city to the sword and set it on fire.
9 After that, Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country,(N) the Negev(O) and the western foothills. 10 They advanced against the Canaanites living in Hebron(P) (formerly called Kiriath Arba(Q)) and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai.(R) 11 From there they advanced against the people living in Debir(S) (formerly called Kiriath Sepher).
12 And Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Aksah in marriage to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.” 13 Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it; so Caleb gave his daughter Aksah to him in marriage.
14 One day when she came to Othniel, she urged him[a] to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What can I do for you?”
15 She replied, “Do me a special favor. Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me also springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.(T)
16 The descendants of Moses’ father-in-law,(U) the Kenite,(V) went up from the City of Palms[b](W) with the people of Judah to live among the inhabitants of the Desert of Judah in the Negev near Arad.(X)
17 Then the men of Judah went with the Simeonites(Y) their fellow Israelites and attacked the Canaanites living in Zephath, and they totally destroyed[c] the city. Therefore it was called Hormah.[d](Z) 18 Judah also took[e] Gaza,(AA) Ashkelon(AB) and Ekron—each city with its territory.
19 The Lord was with(AC) the men of Judah. They took possession of the hill country,(AD) but they were unable to drive the people from the plains, because they had chariots fitted with iron.(AE) 20 As Moses had promised, Hebron(AF) was given to Caleb, who drove from it the three sons of Anak.(AG) 21 The Benjamites, however, did not drive out(AH) the Jebusites, who were living in Jerusalem;(AI) to this day the Jebusites live there with the Benjamites.
22 Now the tribes of Joseph(AJ) attacked Bethel,(AK) and the Lord was with them. 23 When they sent men to spy out Bethel (formerly called Luz),(AL) 24 the spies saw a man coming out of the city and they said to him, “Show us how to get into the city and we will see that you are treated well.(AM)” 25 So he showed them, and they put the city to the sword but spared(AN) the man and his whole family. 26 He then went to the land of the Hittites,(AO) where he built a city and called it Luz,(AP) which is its name to this day.
27 But Manasseh did not(AQ) drive out the people of Beth Shan or Taanach or Dor(AR) or Ibleam(AS) or Megiddo(AT) and their surrounding settlements, for the Canaanites(AU) were determined to live in that land. 28 When Israel became strong, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor but never drove them out completely.(AV) 29 Nor did Ephraim(AW) drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer,(AX) but the Canaanites continued to live there among them.(AY) 30 Neither did Zebulun drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron or Nahalol, so these Canaanites lived among them, but Zebulun did subject them to forced labor. 31 Nor did Asher(AZ) drive out those living in Akko or Sidon(BA) or Ahlab or Akzib(BB) or Helbah or Aphek(BC) or Rehob.(BD) 32 The Asherites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they did not drive them out. 33 Neither did Naphtali drive out those living in Beth Shemesh(BE) or Beth Anath(BF); but the Naphtalites too lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, and those living in Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath became forced laborers for them. 34 The Amorites(BG) confined the Danites(BH) to the hill country, not allowing them to come down into the plain.(BI) 35 And the Amorites were determined also to hold out in Mount Heres,(BJ) Aijalon(BK) and Shaalbim,(BL) but when the power of the tribes of Joseph increased, they too were pressed into forced labor. 36 The boundary of the Amorites was from Scorpion Pass(BM) to Sela(BN) and beyond.(BO)

27 But Manasseh did not(AQ) drive out the people of Beth Shan or Taanach or Dor(AR) or Ibleam(AS) or Megiddo(AT) and their surrounding settlements, for the Canaanites(AU) were determined to live in that land. 28 When Israel became strong, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor but never drove them out completely.(AV) 29 Nor did Ephraim(AW) drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer,(AX) but the Canaanites continued to live there among them.(AY) 30 Neither did Zebulun drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron or Nahalol, so these Canaanites lived among them, but Zebulun did subject them to forced labor. 31 Nor did Asher(AZ) drive out those living in Akko or Sidon(BA) or Ahlab or Akzib(BB) or Helbah or Aphek(BC) or Rehob.(BD) 32 The Asherites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they did not drive them out. 33 Neither did Naphtali drive out those living in Beth Shemesh(BE) or Beth Anath(BF); but the Naphtalites too lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, and those living in Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath became forced laborers for them. 34 The Amorites(BG) confined the Danites(BH) to the hill country, not allowing them to come down into the plain.(BI) 35 And the Amorites were determined also to hold out in Mount Heres,(BJ) Aijalon(BK) and Shaalbim,(BL) but when the power of the tribes of Joseph increased, they too were pressed into forced labor. 36 The boundary of the Amorites was from Scorpion Pass(BM) to Sela(BN) and beyond.(BO)
