士师记 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
耶和华责备以色列人
2 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, 2 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? 3 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。” 4 以色列人听了耶和华的天使说的话,就放声大哭, 5 他们称那地方为波金[a],在那里向耶和华献祭。
约书亚去世
6 约书亚遣散以色列人后,他们便各自去攻占所分得的土地。 7 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。 8 耶和华的仆人、嫩的儿子约书亚去世时享年一百一十岁。 9 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。
士師記 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
耶和華責備以色列人
2 耶和華的天使從吉甲來到波金,對以色列人說:「我帶你們離開埃及,領你們去我起誓要賜給你們祖先的土地。我說,『我永不廢棄跟你們立的約, 2 你們不可跟這裡的居民立約,要毀掉他們的祭壇。』可是你們為什麼不聽呢? 3 因此,我告訴你們,我必不趕走這裡的居民,他們必成為你們肋旁的刺,他們的神明必成為你們的網羅。」 4 以色列人聽了耶和華的天使說的話,就放聲大哭, 5 他們稱那地方為波金[a],在那裡向耶和華獻祭。
約書亞去世
6 約書亞遣散以色列人後,他們便各自去攻佔所分得的土地。 7 約書亞在世的時候,以色列人都事奉耶和華。他死後,那些目睹耶和華為以色列人行大事的長老還在世的時候,以色列人仍然事奉耶和華。 8 耶和華的僕人、嫩的兒子約書亞去世時享年一百一十歲。 9 以色列人把他葬在他自己的土地上,在迦實山以北、以法蓮山區的亭拿·希烈。 10 那一代人都去世後,新一代不認識耶和華,也不知道耶和華為以色列人所行的事。
11 以色列人做耶和華視為惡的事,祭拜巴力。 12 他們背棄了領他們祖先離開埃及的上帝耶和華,追隨、祭拜鄰邦的各種神明,因而惹耶和華發怒。 13 他們背棄耶和華,去祭拜巴力和亞斯她錄。 14 耶和華向他們發怒,使他們遭到掠奪者的攻擊和四周仇敵的壓制,毫無抵抗之力。 15 他們每次出戰,耶和華都與他們為敵,使他們戰敗,正如祂的誓言。他們苦不堪言。
16 後來,耶和華使士師[b]興起,從掠奪者手中拯救他們。 17 但他們不聽從士師的話,與其他神明苟合,祭拜它們,很快偏離他們祖先的道路,沒有像他們的祖先那樣遵行耶和華的命令。 18 耶和華見他們因敵人的壓迫和苦待而哀號,就憐憫他們,使士師陸續興起,並與每位士師同在。士師在世之日,耶和華從仇敵手中拯救他們。 19 士師去世以後,他們又故態復萌,追隨、祭拜其他神明,比他們的祖先更敗壞。他們執迷不悟,怙惡不悛。 20 耶和華向他們發怒,說:「這百姓違背了我跟他們祖先所立的約,不聽從我的話。 21 因此,我不再逐出約書亞去世時還沒有趕走的外族人, 22 我要藉此試驗以色列人,看他們是否像他們祖先一樣謹遵我的道。」 23 這就是為什麼耶和華留下那些外族人,沒有立刻把他們趕走,也沒有把他們交在約書亞手中。
Judges 2
World English Bible
2 Yahweh’s angel came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, “I brought you out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to give your fathers. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you. 2 You shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land. You shall break down their altars.’ But you have not listened to my voice. Why have you done this? 3 Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.’”
4 When Yahweh’s angel spoke these words to all the children of Israel, the people lifted up their voice and wept. 5 They called the name of that place Bochim,[a] and they sacrificed there to Yahweh. 6 Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel each went to his inheritance to possess the land. 7 The people served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Yahweh that he had worked for Israel. 8 Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, being one hundred ten years old. 9 They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash. 10 After all that generation were gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who didn’t know Yahweh, nor the work which he had done for Israel. 11 The children of Israel did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and served the Baals. 12 They abandoned Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; and they provoked Yahweh to anger. 13 They abandoned Yahweh, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth. 14 Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of raiders who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies. 15 Wherever they went out, Yahweh’s hand was against them for evil, as Yahweh had spoken, and as Yahweh had sworn to them; and they were very distressed. 16 Yahweh raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered them. 17 Yet they didn’t listen to their judges; for they prostituted themselves to other gods, and bowed themselves down to them. They quickly turned away from the way in which their fathers walked, obeying Yahweh’s commandments. They didn’t do so. 18 When Yahweh raised up judges for them, then Yahweh was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it grieved Yahweh because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and troubled them. 19 But when the judge was dead, they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers in following other gods to serve them and to bow down to them. They didn’t cease what they were doing, or give up their stubborn ways. 20 Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel; and he said, “Because this nation transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not listened to my voice, 21 I also will no longer drive out any of the nations that Joshua left when he died from before them; 22 that by them I may test Israel, to see if they will keep Yahweh’s way to walk therein, as their fathers kept it, or not.” 23 So Yahweh left those nations, without driving them out hastily. He didn’t deliver them into Joshua’s hand.

Judges 2
New International Version
The Angel of the Lord at Bokim
2 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) 2 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? 3 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.’”
4 When the angel of the Lord had spoken these things to all the Israelites, the people wept aloud,(M) 5 and they called that place Bokim.[a](N) There they offered sacrifices to the Lord.
Disobedience and Defeat(O)
6 After Joshua had dismissed the Israelites, they went to take possession of the land, each to their own inheritance. 7 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)
8 Joshua son of Nun,(Q) the servant of the Lord, died at the age of a hundred and ten. 9 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)

Judges 2
King James Version
2 And an angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
2 And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?
3 Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
4 And it came to pass, when the angel of the Lord spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the Lord.
6 And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
7 And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the Lord, that he did for Israel.
8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.
10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
11 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim:
12 And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the Lord to anger.
13 And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
14 And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
15 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had said, and as the Lord had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
16 Nevertheless the Lord raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
17 And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the Lord; but they did not so.
18 And when the Lord raised them up judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the Lord because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
19 And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
20 And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;
21 I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
22 That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the Lord to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
23 Therefore the Lord left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
