士师记 10
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
陀拉
10 亞比米勒之後,有以薩迦人朵多的孫子,普瓦的兒子陀拉,興起拯救以色列人;他住在以法蓮山地的沙密。 2 陀拉治理以色列人二十三年,就死了,埋葬在沙密。
睚珥
3 在他之後,有基列人睚珥興起治理以色列人二十二年。 4 他有三十個兒子,騎著三十頭驢駒;他們有三十座城,叫作哈倭特.睚珥,直到今日都是在基列地。 5 睚珥死了以後,就埋葬在加們。
以色列人受亞捫人等欺壓
6 以色列人又行了耶和華看為惡的事,服事眾巴力和亞斯他錄,以及亞蘭的神、西頓的神、摩押的神、亞捫人的神、非利士人的神;他們離棄了耶和華,不再服事他。 7 耶和華的怒氣向以色列人發作,就把他們交在非利士人的手中和亞捫人的手中。 8 從那一年起,他們就迫害欺壓以色列人,就是所有在約旦河東邊,住在亞摩利人之地的以色列人,共十八年。 9 亞捫人又渡過約旦河去攻打猶大、便雅憫和以法蓮家,以色列人就非常困苦。
10 以色列人向耶和華哀求,說:“我們得罪了你,因為我們離棄了我們的 神,服事眾巴力。” 11 耶和華對以色列人說:“我不是曾經拯救你們脫離埃及人、亞摩利人、亞捫人和非利士人嗎? 12 西頓人、亞瑪力人、馬雲人也都壓迫你們;你們向我哀求,我也拯救你們脫離他們的手。 13 你們竟離棄了我,服事別的神,因此我不再拯救你們了。 14 你們去向你們揀選的神呼求吧!讓他們在你們遭遇患難的時候拯救你們吧。” 15 以色列人對耶和華說:“我們犯了罪了,你任意對待我們吧;只求你今日拯救我們。” 16 以色列人就從他們中間除去外族人的神,事奉耶和華;耶和華的心因以色列人所受的患難,就很著急。
17 當時亞捫人聚集起來,在基列安營;以色列人也聚集,在米斯巴安營。 18 基列的人民和眾領袖彼此說:“誰先去攻打亞捫人,誰就可以作基列所有居民的首領。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
士师陀拉和雅珥
10 亚比米勒死后,以萨迦人陀拉拯救了以色列人。他住在以法莲山区的沙密,祖父是朵多,父亲是普瓦。 2 陀拉做士师二十三年,死后葬在沙密。
3 之后,基列人雅珥做士师二十二年。 4 他有三十个儿子,每人骑一头驴。他们在基列拥有三十座城,那些城到现在还叫“雅珥之城”。 5 雅珥死后,葬在加们。
以色列人因犯罪而受罚
6 后来,以色列人又做耶和华视为恶的事,祭拜巴力和亚斯她录,又拜亚兰、西顿、摩押、亚扪和非利士的神明。他们背弃耶和华,不再事奉祂。 7 耶和华向他们发怒,把他们交在非利士人和亚扪人手中。 8 那年,非利士人和亚扪人击垮了以色列人,压迫基列地区、约旦河东亚摩利境内的以色列人达十八年。 9 亚扪人还渡过约旦河攻击犹大、便雅悯和以法莲支派,使以色列人苦不堪言。 10 于是,他们呼求耶和华说:“我们背弃我们的上帝去祭拜巴力,我们得罪了你。” 11 耶和华对他们说:“你们受埃及人、亚摩利人、亚扪人、非利士人、 12 西顿人、亚玛力人和马云人的压迫,就呼求我,我岂没有拯救你们吗? 13 但你们竟背弃我,去事奉别的神明,所以我不再救你们。 14 你们去呼求自己选择的神明吧!你们有难,让他们救你们吧!” 15 他们对耶和华说:“我们犯了罪,任你处置我们,只求你今天拯救我们。” 16 以色列人除掉了他们的外邦神像,转而事奉耶和华。耶和华不忍再看以色列人受苦。
17 当时,亚扪人整装备战,在基列安营;以色列人也集合起来,在米斯巴安营。 18 基列的首领们彼此商议说:“谁先攻打亚扪人,谁就做所有基列人的首领。”
Judges 10
New International Version
Tola
10 After the time of Abimelek,(A) a man of Issachar(B) named Tola son of Puah,(C) the son of Dodo, rose to save(D) Israel. He lived in Shamir,(E) in the hill country of Ephraim. 2 He led[a] Israel twenty-three years; then he died, and was buried in Shamir.
Jair
3 He was followed by Jair(F) of Gilead, who led Israel twenty-two years. 4 He had thirty sons, who rode thirty donkeys.(G) They controlled thirty towns in Gilead, which to this day are called Havvoth Jair.[b](H) 5 When Jair(I) died, he was buried in Kamon.
Jephthah
6 Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord.(J) They served the Baals and the Ashtoreths,(K) and the gods of Aram,(L) the gods of Sidon,(M) the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites(N) and the gods of the Philistines.(O) And because the Israelites forsook the Lord(P) and no longer served him, 7 he became angry(Q) with them. He sold them(R) into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites, 8 who that year shattered and crushed them. For eighteen years they oppressed all the Israelites on the east side of the Jordan in Gilead,(S) the land of the Amorites. 9 The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah,(T) Benjamin and Ephraim;(U) Israel was in great distress. 10 Then the Israelites cried(V) out to the Lord, “We have sinned(W) against you, forsaking our God and serving the Baals.”(X)
11 The Lord replied, “When the Egyptians,(Y) the Amorites,(Z) the Ammonites,(AA) the Philistines,(AB) 12 the Sidonians, the Amalekites(AC) and the Maonites[c](AD) oppressed you(AE) and you cried to me for help, did I not save you from their hands? 13 But you have forsaken(AF) me and served other gods,(AG) so I will no longer save you. 14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save(AH) you when you are in trouble!(AI)”
15 But the Israelites said to the Lord, “We have sinned. Do with us whatever you think best,(AJ) but please rescue us now.” 16 Then they got rid of the foreign gods among them and served the Lord.(AK) And he could bear Israel’s misery(AL) no longer.(AM)
17 When the Ammonites were called to arms and camped in Gilead, the Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.(AN) 18 The leaders of the people of Gilead said to each other, “Whoever will take the lead in attacking the Ammonites will be head(AO) over all who live in Gilead.”

Judges 10
New English Translation
Stability Restored
10 After Abimelech’s death,[a] Tola son of Puah, grandson[b] of Dodo, from the tribe of Issachar,[c] rose up to deliver Israel. He lived in Shamir in the Ephraimite hill country. 2 He led[d] Israel for twenty-three years, then died and was buried in Shamir.
3 Jair the Gileadite rose up after him; he led Israel for twenty-two years. 4 He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys and possessed thirty cities. To this day these towns are called Havvoth Jair[e]—they are in the land of Gilead.[f] 5 Jair died and was buried in Kamon.
The Lord’s Patience Runs Short
6 The Israelites again did evil in the Lord’s sight.[g] They worshiped[h] the Baals and the Ashtoreths,[i] as well as the gods of Syria, Sidon, Moab, the Ammonites, and the Philistines.[j] They abandoned the Lord and did not worship[k] him. 7 The Lord was furious with Israel[l] and turned them over to[m] the Philistines and Ammonites. 8 They ruthlessly oppressed[n] the Israelites that eighteenth year[o]—that is, all the Israelites living east of the Jordan in Amorite country in Gilead. 9 The Ammonites crossed the Jordan to fight with Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim.[p] Israel suffered greatly.[q]
10 The Israelites cried out for help to the Lord: “We have sinned against you. We abandoned our God and worshiped[r] the Baals.” 11 The Lord said to the Israelites, “Did I not deliver you from Egypt, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines, 12 the Sidonians, Amalek, and Midian[s] when they oppressed you?[t] You cried out for help to me, and I delivered you from their power.[u] 13 But since you abandoned me and worshiped[v] other gods, I will not deliver you again. 14 Go and cry for help to the gods you have chosen! Let them deliver you from trouble!”[w] 15 But the Israelites said to the Lord, “We have sinned. You do to us as you see fit,[x] but deliver us today!”[y] 16 They threw away the foreign gods they owned[z] and worshiped[aa] the Lord. Finally the Lord grew tired of seeing Israel suffer so much.[ab]
An Outcast Becomes a General
17 The Ammonites assembled[ac] and camped in Gilead; the Israelites gathered together and camped in Mizpah. 18 The leaders[ad] of Gilead said to one another, “Who is willing to lead the charge[ae] against the Ammonites? He will become the leader of all who live in Gilead!”

- Judges 10:1 tn Heb “son.”
- Judges 10:1 tn Heb “a man of Issachar.”
- Judges 10:2 tn Traditionally, “judged.”
- Judges 10:4 sn The name Habboth Jair means “tent villages of Jair” in Hebrew.
- Judges 10:4 tn Heb “they call them Havvoth Jair to this day—which are in the land of Gilead.”

- Judges 10:6 tn Or “serve”; or “follow.”
- Judges 10:7 tn Or “the Lord’s anger burned [or “raged”] against Israel.”
- Judges 10:7 tn Heb “sold them into the hands of.”
- Judges 10:8 tn Heb “shattered and crushed.” The repetition of similar sounding synonyms (רָעַץ [raʿats] and רָצַץ [ratsats]) is for emphasis; רָצַץ appears in the Polel, adding further emphasis to the affirmation.
- Judges 10:8 tn The phrase שְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה (shemoneh ʿesreh shanah) could be translated “eighteen years,” but this would be difficult after the reference to “that year.” It is possible that v. 8b is parenthetical, referring to an eighteen year long period of oppression east of the Jordan which culminated in hostilities against all Israel (including Judah, see v. 9) in the eighteenth year. It is simpler to translate the phrase as an ordinal number, though the context does not provide the point of reference. (See Gen 14:4-5 and R. G. Boling, Judges [AB], 191-92.) In this case, the following statement specifies which “Israelites” are in view.
- Judges 10:9 tn Heb “the house of Ephraim.”
- Judges 10:9 tn Or “Israel experienced great distress.” Perhaps here the verb has the nuance “hemmed in.”
- Judges 10:10 tn Or “served”; or “followed.”
- Judges 10:12 tc The translation follows the LXX which reads “Midian”; the Hebrew text has “Maon.”
- Judges 10:12 tn The words “Did I not deliver you” are interpretive. The Hebrew text simply reads, “Is it not from Egypt…when they oppressed you?” Perhaps the incomplete sentence reflects the Lord’s frustration.
- Judges 10:12 tn Heb “hand.”
- Judges 10:13 tn Or “served”; or “followed.”
- Judges 10:14 tn Heb “in your time of trouble.”
- Judges 10:15 tn Heb “according to all whatever is good in your eyes.”
- Judges 10:15 sn You do to us as you see fit, but deliver us today. The request seems contradictory, but it can be explained in one of two ways. They may be asking for relief from their enemies and direct discipline from God’s hand. Or they may mean, “In the future you can do whatever you like to us, but give us relief from what we’re suffering right now.”
- Judges 10:16 tn Heb “from their midst.”
- Judges 10:16 tn Or “served”; or “followed.”
- Judges 10:16 tn Heb “And his spirit grew short [i.e., impatient] with the suffering of Israel.” The Hebrew noun נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) also appears as the subject of the verb קָצַר (qatsar) in Num 21:4 (the Israelites grow impatient wandering in the wilderness), Judg 16:16 (Samson grows impatient with Delilah’s constant nagging), and Zech 11:8 (Zechariah grows impatient with the three negligent “shepherds”).
- Judges 10:17 tn Or “were summoned;” or “were mustered.”
- Judges 10:18 tn Heb “the people, the officers.”
- Judges 10:18 tn Heb “Who is the man who will begin fighting.”
