耶和华使者显于波金

耶和华的使者从吉甲上到波金,对以色列人说:“我使你们从埃及上来,领你们到我向你们列祖起誓应许之地。我又说:‘我永不废弃与你们所立的约, 你们也不可与这地的居民立约,要拆毁他们的祭坛。’你们竟没有听从我的话。为何这样行呢? 因此我又说:我必不将他们从你们面前赶出,他们必做你们肋下的荆棘,他们的神必做你们的网罗。” 耶和华的使者向以色列众人说这话的时候,百姓就放声而哭。 于是给那地方起名叫波金[a]。众人在那里向耶和华献祭。

约书亚卒后以色列人违背耶和华

从前约书亚打发以色列百姓去的时候,他们各归自己的地业,占据地土。 约书亚在世和约书亚死后,那些见耶和华为以色列人所行大事的长老还在的时候,百姓都侍奉耶和华。 耶和华的仆人的儿子约书亚,正一百一十岁就死了。 以色列人将他葬在他地业的境内,就是在以法莲山地的亭拿希烈,在迦实山的北边。 10 那世代的人也都归了自己的列祖。后来有别的世代兴起,不知道耶和华,也不知道耶和华为以色列人所行的事。

11 以色列人行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,去侍奉诸巴力 12 离弃了领他们出埃及地的耶和华他们列祖的神,去叩拜别神,就是四围列国的神,惹耶和华发怒; 13 并离弃耶和华,去侍奉巴力亚斯她录 14 耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作,就把他们交在抢夺他们的人手中,又将他们付于四围仇敌的手中,甚至他们在仇敌面前再不能站立得住。 15 他们无论往何处去,耶和华都以灾祸攻击他们,正如耶和华所说的话,又如耶和华向他们所起的誓。他们便极其困苦。

16 耶和华兴起士师,士师就拯救他们脱离抢夺他们人的手。 17 他们却不听从士师,竟随从叩拜别神,行了邪淫,速速地偏离他们列祖所行的道,不如他们列祖顺从耶和华的命令。 18 耶和华为他们兴起士师,就与那士师同在,士师在世的一切日子,耶和华拯救他们脱离仇敌的手;他们因受欺压扰害,就哀声叹气,所以耶和华后悔了。 19 及至士师死后,他们就转去行恶,比他们列祖更甚,去侍奉叩拜别神,总不断绝顽梗的恶行。 20 于是耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作,他说:“因这民违背我吩咐他们列祖所守的约,不听从我的话, 21 所以约书亚死的时候所剩下的各族,我必不再从他们面前赶出, 22 为要借此试验以色列人,看他们肯照他们列祖谨守遵行我的道不肯。” 23 这样,耶和华留下各族,不将他们速速赶出,也没有交付约书亚的手。

耶和华的使者在波金显现

耶和华的使者从吉甲上到波金来,说:“我曾经把你们从埃及领上来,带你们到我向你们列祖起誓应许的地方;我曾说过:‘我永不废弃我与你们所立的约; 你们不可与这地的居民立约,要拆毁他们的祭坛。’你们竟没有听从我的话;你们作的是甚么呢? 因此我又说:‘我必不把他们从你们面前赶走,他们要作你们的敌人(按照《马索拉文本》,“敌人”作“边旁”,意思不明确,或译:“网罗”;现参照各古译本翻译),他们的神要作你们的网罗。’” 耶和华的使者对以色列众人说这些话的时候,众人就放声大哭。 于是给那地方起名叫波金;他们在那里向耶和华献祭。

约书亚逝世

约书亚遣散了众人,以色列人就各归自己承受的地业,要占有那地。 约书亚在世的时候,以及他去世以后,那些见过耶和华为以色列人所行的大事的众长老还在的日子,众人都事奉耶和华。 耶和华的仆人,嫩的儿子约书亚,在一百一十岁的时候就死了。 以色列人把他埋葬在他地业的境内,就是以法莲山地,在迦实山北面的亭拿.希烈。 10 那一代的人都归到他们的列祖那里以后,有另一代的人兴起来了;他们不认识耶和华,也不知道耶和华为以色列人所行的事。

以色列人违背 神的恶果

11 以色列人行了耶和华看为恶的事,去事奉众巴力; 12 他们离弃了领他们出埃及的耶和华、他们列祖的 神,去跟从别的神,就是他们周围各族的神,敬拜他们,惹耶和华发怒。 13 他们离弃了耶和华,去事奉巴力和亚斯他录。 14 耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作,就把他们交在抢掠的人手中,他们就抢掠他们;他又把他们完全交在他们四围的仇敌手中,以致他们在仇敌面前再不能站立得住。 15 他们无论去哪里,耶和华的手总是加害他们,好象耶和华说过的,又像耶和华对他们起誓过的;他们就非常困苦。 16 耶和华兴起了士师,士师就拯救他们脱离抢掠他们的人的手。 17 但他们连士师也不听从,竟与别的神行了奸淫,敬拜他们;他们迅速偏离了他们列祖所行、听从耶和华命令的道路,他们没有照样行。 18 耶和华为他们兴起士师的时候,耶和华就与那士师同在;那士师在世的日子,耶和华总是拯救他们脱离仇敌的手;因为他们在压迫和苦害他们的人底下发出哀声,耶和华就怜悯他们。 19 可是士师死了以后,他们就转而行恶,比他们的列祖更厉害,去随从别的神,事奉和敬拜他们,总不放弃他们的恶行和顽梗的行径。 20 于是耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作,说:“因为这国的人违背我吩咐他们列祖的约,不听从我的话, 21 因此,约书亚死后仍剩下来的列国,我也不再从他们面前赶走, 22 为要借着他们试验以色列人,看他们肯不肯谨守遵行耶和华的道路,像他们的列祖一样谨守。” 23 这样,耶和华留下这些国的民,不迅速把他们赶走,也不把他们交在约书亚手里。

耶和华责备以色列人

耶和华的天使从吉甲来到波金,对以色列人说:“我带你们离开埃及,领你们去我起誓要赐给你们祖先的土地。我说,‘我永不废弃跟你们立的约, 你们不可跟这里的居民立约,要毁掉他们的祭坛。’可是你们为什么不听呢? 因此,我告诉你们,我必不赶走这里的居民,他们必成为你们肋旁的刺,他们的神明必成为你们的网罗。” 以色列人听了耶和华的天使说的话,就放声大哭, 他们称那地方为波金[a],在那里向耶和华献祭。

约书亚去世

约书亚遣散以色列人后,他们便各自去攻占所分得的土地。 约书亚在世的时候,以色列人都事奉耶和华。他死后,那些目睹耶和华为以色列人行大事的长老还在世的时候,以色列人仍然事奉耶和华。 耶和华的仆人、嫩的儿子约书亚去世时享年一百一十岁。 以色列人把他葬在他自己的土地上,在迦实山以北、以法莲山区的亭拿·希烈。 10 那一代人都去世后,新一代不认识耶和华,也不知道耶和华为以色列人所行的事。

11 以色列人做耶和华视为恶的事,祭拜巴力。 12 他们背弃了领他们祖先离开埃及的上帝耶和华,追随、祭拜邻邦的各种神明,因而惹耶和华发怒。 13 他们背弃耶和华,去祭拜巴力和亚斯她录。 14 耶和华向他们发怒,使他们遭到掠夺者的攻击和四周仇敌的压制,毫无抵抗之力。 15 他们每次出战,耶和华都与他们为敌,使他们战败,正如祂的誓言。他们苦不堪言。

16 后来,耶和华使士师[b]兴起,从掠夺者手中拯救他们。 17 但他们不听从士师的话,与其他神明苟合,祭拜它们,很快偏离他们祖先的道路,没有像他们的祖先那样遵行耶和华的命令。 18 耶和华见他们因敌人的压迫和苦待而哀号,就怜悯他们,使士师陆续兴起,并与每位士师同在。士师在世之日,耶和华从仇敌手中拯救他们。 19 士师去世以后,他们又故态复萌,追随、祭拜其他神明,比他们的祖先更败坏。他们执迷不悟,怙恶不悛。 20 耶和华向他们发怒,说:“这百姓违背了我跟他们祖先所立的约,不听从我的话。 21 因此,我不再逐出约书亚去世时还没有赶走的外族人, 22 我要借此试验以色列人,看他们是否像他们祖先一样谨遵我的道。” 23 这就是为什么耶和华留下那些外族人,没有立刻把他们赶走,也没有把他们交在约书亚手中。

The Angel of the Lord at Bokim

The angel of the Lord(A) went up from Gilgal(B) to Bokim(C) and said, “I brought you up out of Egypt(D) and led you into the land I swore to give to your ancestors.(E) I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you,(F) and you shall not make a covenant with the people of this land,(G) but you shall break down their altars.(H)’ Yet you have disobeyed(I) me. Why have you done this? And I have also said, ‘I will not drive them out before you;(J) they will become traps(K) for you, and their gods will become snares(L) to you.’”

When the angel of the Lord had spoken these things to all the Israelites, the people wept aloud,(M) and they called that place Bokim.[a](N) There they offered sacrifices to the Lord.

Disobedience and Defeat(O)

After Joshua had dismissed the Israelites, they went to take possession of the land, each to their own inheritance. The people served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the Lord had done for Israel.(P)

Joshua son of Nun,(Q) the servant of the Lord, died at the age of a hundred and ten. And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Heres[b](R) in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

10 After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel.(S) 11 Then the Israelites did evil(T) in the eyes of the Lord(U) and served the Baals.(V) 12 They forsook the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of Egypt. They followed and worshiped various gods(W) of the peoples around them.(X) They aroused(Y) the Lord’s anger(Z) 13 because they forsook(AA) him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.(AB) 14 In his anger(AC) against Israel the Lord gave them into the hands(AD) of raiders who plundered(AE) them. He sold them(AF) into the hands of their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist.(AG) 15 Whenever Israel went out to fight, the hand of the Lord was against them(AH) to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them. They were in great distress.(AI)

16 Then the Lord raised up judges,[c](AJ) who saved(AK) them out of the hands of these raiders. 17 Yet they would not listen to their judges but prostituted(AL) themselves to other gods(AM) and worshiped them.(AN) They quickly turned(AO) from the ways of their ancestors, who had been obedient to the Lord’s commands.(AP) 18 Whenever the Lord raised up a judge for them, he was with the judge and saved(AQ) them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived; for the Lord relented(AR) because of their groaning(AS) under those who oppressed and afflicted(AT) them. 19 But when the judge died, the people returned to ways even more corrupt(AU) than those of their ancestors,(AV) following other gods and serving and worshiping them.(AW) They refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn(AX) ways.

20 Therefore the Lord was very angry(AY) with Israel and said, “Because this nation has violated the covenant(AZ) I ordained for their ancestors and has not listened to me, 21 I will no longer drive out(BA) before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died. 22 I will use them to test(BB) Israel and see whether they will keep the way of the Lord and walk in it as their ancestors did.” 23 The Lord had allowed those nations to remain; he did not drive them out at once by giving them into the hands of Joshua.(BC)

16 耶和华兴起士师,士师就拯救他们脱离抢夺他们人的手。 17 他们却不听从士师,竟随从叩拜别神,行了邪淫,速速地偏离他们列祖所行的道,不如他们列祖顺从耶和华的命令。 18 耶和华为他们兴起士师,就与那士师同在,士师在世的一切日子,耶和华拯救他们脱离仇敌的手;他们因受欺压扰害,就哀声叹气,所以耶和华后悔了。 19 及至士师死后,他们就转去行恶,比他们列祖更甚,去侍奉叩拜别神,总不断绝顽梗的恶行。 20 于是耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作,他说:“因这民违背我吩咐他们列祖所守的约,不听从我的话, 21 所以约书亚死的时候所剩下的各族,我必不再从他们面前赶出, 22 为要借此试验以色列人,看他们肯照他们列祖谨守遵行我的道不肯。” 23 这样,耶和华留下各族,不将他们速速赶出,也没有交付约书亚的手。

The Angel of the Lord at Bokim

The angel of the Lord(A) went up from Gilgal(B) to Bokim(C) and said, “I brought you up out of Egypt(D) and led you into the land I swore to give to your ancestors.(E) I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you,(F) and you shall not make a covenant with the people of this land,(G) but you shall break down their altars.(H)’ Yet you have disobeyed(I) me. Why have you done this? And I have also said, ‘I will not drive them out before you;(J) they will become traps(K) for you, and their gods will become snares(L) to you.’”

When the angel of the Lord had spoken these things to all the Israelites, the people wept aloud,(M) and they called that place Bokim.[a](N) There they offered sacrifices to the Lord.

Disobedience and Defeat(O)

After Joshua had dismissed the Israelites, they went to take possession of the land, each to their own inheritance. The people served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the Lord had done for Israel.(P)

Joshua son of Nun,(Q) the servant of the Lord, died at the age of a hundred and ten. And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Heres[b](R) in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

10 After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel.(S) 11 Then the Israelites did evil(T) in the eyes of the Lord(U) and served the Baals.(V) 12 They forsook the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of Egypt. They followed and worshiped various gods(W) of the peoples around them.(X) They aroused(Y) the Lord’s anger(Z) 13 because they forsook(AA) him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.(AB) 14 In his anger(AC) against Israel the Lord gave them into the hands(AD) of raiders who plundered(AE) them. He sold them(AF) into the hands of their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist.(AG) 15 Whenever Israel went out to fight, the hand of the Lord was against them(AH) to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them. They were in great distress.(AI)

16 Then the Lord raised up judges,[c](AJ) who saved(AK) them out of the hands of these raiders. 17 Yet they would not listen to their judges but prostituted(AL) themselves to other gods(AM) and worshiped them.(AN) They quickly turned(AO) from the ways of their ancestors, who had been obedient to the Lord’s commands.(AP) 18 Whenever the Lord raised up a judge for them, he was with the judge and saved(AQ) them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived; for the Lord relented(AR) because of their groaning(AS) under those who oppressed and afflicted(AT) them. 19 But when the judge died, the people returned to ways even more corrupt(AU) than those of their ancestors,(AV) following other gods and serving and worshiping them.(AW) They refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn(AX) ways.
