士师记 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
迦南余族
3 1-2 耶和华为了考验那些没有经历过迦南战事的以色列人,让他们学习作战,就留下了以下各族: 3 五个非利士王、所有的迦南人、西顿人和住在巴力·黑门山到哈马口一带的黎巴嫩山区的希未人。 4 耶和华留下这几个外族是要考验以色列人,看他们是否愿意遵从祂借摩西向他们祖先颁布的诫命。 5 以色列人住在这些迦南人、赫人、亚摩利人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人当中, 6 跟他们通婚,祭拜他们的神明。
士师俄陀聂
7 以色列人做耶和华视为恶的事,忘记他们的上帝耶和华,祭拜假神巴力和亚舍拉。 8 耶和华向他们发怒,把他们交在美索不达米亚王古珊·利萨田的手中,受古珊·利萨田统治八年。 9 他们向耶和华呼求,耶和华就使一位名叫俄陀聂的拯救者兴起,他是迦勒弟弟基纳斯的儿子。 10 耶和华的灵降在俄陀聂身上,他就做了以色列的士师,领兵出战。耶和华将美索不达米亚王古珊·利萨田交在他手中,他便战胜了古珊·利萨田。 11 此后,国内安享太平四十年,直到俄陀聂去世。
士师以笏
12 之后,以色列人又做耶和华视为恶的事,耶和华就使摩押王伊矶伦强盛起来,攻打以色列人。 13 伊矶伦联合亚扪人和亚玛力人进攻以色列人,占据了棕树城, 14 以色列人受摩押王伊矶伦统治十八年。 15 他们呼求耶和华,耶和华就使一位名叫以笏的拯救者兴起。他是便雅悯人基拉的儿子,善用左手。以色列人派他去向摩押王伊矶伦进贡。 16 他造了一把约半米长的两刃利剑,绑在右腿的衣服里。 17 他带着贡物去见肥胖的摩押王伊矶伦。 18 以笏献上了贡物之后,便和抬贡物的人一起离去。 19 到了吉甲附近雕石神像的地方,他让抬贡物的人先回去,自己则折回王宫,对王说:“王啊,我有机密禀告。”王就命左右的人回避,众人便都退去了。 20 当时王独自坐在楼上的房间乘凉,以笏近前说:“我有从上帝而来的讯息要禀告。”王站起来的时候, 21 以笏左手拔出藏在右腿上的剑刺进王的肚腹, 22 连剑柄也刺了进去,深深嵌入肥肉。以笏没有拔剑, 23 便走出房间,把门都关上,锁好。
24 以笏走后,王的仆人过来,见房门紧锁,以为王在大解。 25 等了很久,门还没开,他们很焦急,就拿钥匙开门,发现他们的主人已经倒毙在地上。
26 他们等待的时候,以笏已经逃走了。他经过雕石神像的地方,逃往西伊拉。 27 到了那里,他就在以法莲的山区吹响号角,召集以色列人。众人跟随以笏下山, 28 以笏对他们说:“跟我来!耶和华已经把仇敌摩押人交在你们手中了。”于是,众人跟着他占领了通往摩押的约旦河各渡口,不许任何人渡河。 29 当时他们杀了约一万名强悍善战的摩押勇士,没有一人逃脱。 30 这样,以色列人征服了摩押人,国中安享太平八十年。
珊迦
31 以笏之后,亚拿的儿子珊迦拯救了以色列人。他曾用一根赶牛棍杀了六百名非利士人。

Israel probado por medio de otras naciones
3 Estas son las naciones que el Señor dejó para probar con ellas a Israel(A) (es decir, a los que no habían experimentado[a] ninguna de las guerras de Canaán, 2 y así las generaciones de los israelitas conocieran[b] la guerra, o sea, aquellos[c] que antes no la habían experimentado[d]). 3 Estas naciones son: los cinco príncipes de los filisteos, todos los cananeos, los sidonios y los heveos(B) que habitaban en el monte Líbano, desde el monte de Baal Hermón hasta Lebo Hamat[e]. 4 Y eran para probar[f] a Israel, para ver si obedecían[g] los mandamientos(C) que el Señor había ordenado a sus padres por medio[h] de Moisés.
5 Los israelitas habitaron entre los cananeos, los hititas, los amorreos, los ferezeos, los heveos y los jebuseos. 6 Tomaron para sí a sus hijas por mujeres, y dieron sus propias hijas a los hijos de ellos, y sirvieron a sus dioses(D).
Otoniel libra a Israel de Cusán Risataim
7 Los israelitas hicieron lo malo ante los ojos del Señor, y olvidaron al Señor su Dios(E), y sirvieron a los Baales(F) y a las imágenes de Asera[i](G). 8 Entonces se encendió la ira del Señor contra Israel, y los vendió en manos de Cusán Risataim, rey de Mesopotamia[j]. Y los israelitas sirvieron a Cusán Risataim por ocho años.
9 Cuando los israelitas clamaron al Señor, el Señor levantó un libertador a los israelitas para que los librara, a Otoniel, hijo de Quenaz, hermano menor de Caleb(H). 10 Y vino sobre él el Espíritu del Señor(I), y juzgó[k] a Israel. Cuando salió a la guerra, el Señor entregó en su mano a Cusán Risataim, rey de Mesopotamia[l], y su poder[m] prevaleció sobre Cusán Risataim. 11 La tierra tuvo descanso por cuarenta años. Y murió Otoniel, hijo de Quenaz.
Aod libra a Israel de Moab
12 Los israelitas volvieron a hacer lo malo ante los ojos del Señor(J). Entonces el Señor fortaleció a Eglón, rey de Moab, contra Israel(K), porque habían hecho lo malo ante los ojos del Señor. 13 Y Eglón reunió consigo a los amonitas y amalecitas. Fue y derrotó[n] a Israel, y se apoderaron de la ciudad de las palmeras[o](L). 14 Y los israelitas sirvieron a Eglón, rey de Moab, por dieciocho años.
15 Pero los israelitas clamaron al Señor(M), y el Señor les levantó un libertador, a Aod, hijo de Gera, el benjamita, el cual era zurdo. Y los israelitas enviaron tributo con él[p] a Eglón, rey de Moab. 16 Aod se hizo una espada de dos filos, de un codo (45 centímetros) de largo, y la ató a su muslo derecho debajo de la ropa. 17 Y presentó el tributo a Eglón, rey de Moab; y Eglón era un hombre muy grueso.
18 Cuando Aod terminó de presentar el tributo, despidió a la gente que había traído el tributo. 19 Pero él se volvió desde los ídolos que estaban en Gilgal, y dijo: «Tengo un mensaje secreto para usted, oh rey». «Guarda silencio», le dijo el rey. Y todos los que le servían salieron. 20 Aod vino a él cuando estaba sentado solo en su sala de verano[q]. Y Aod dijo: «Tengo un mensaje de Dios para usted». Y él se levantó de su silla.
21 Aod alargó la mano izquierda, tomó la espada de su muslo derecho, y se la hundió en el vientre. 22 Y la empuñadura entró también tras la hoja, y la gordura se cerró sobre la hoja, pues no sacó la espada de su vientre. Y se le salieron los excrementos. 23 Entonces salió Aod al corredor, cerró tras sí las puertas de la sala de la terraza y les pasó el cerrojo.
24 Después que él salió, vinieron los siervos y vieron que las puertas de la sala de la terraza tenían el cerrojo pasado, y dijeron: «Sin duda que el rey está haciendo su necesidad[r](N) en la sala de verano[s]». 25 Y esperaron hasta sentir inquietud[t], pues él no abría las puertas de la sala de la terraza. Entonces tomaron la llave y las abrieron, y su señor estaba en el suelo[u], muerto.
26 Pero Aod había escapado mientras ellos esperaban. Pasando por los ídolos, había huido a Seirat. 27 Cuando llegó, tocó la trompeta en la región montañosa de Efraín(O); y los israelitas descendieron con él de la región montañosa, estando él al frente de ellos. 28 Entonces Aod les dijo: «Persíganlos, porque el Señor ha entregado en sus manos a sus enemigos, los moabitas». Y descendieron tras él y se apoderaron de los vados del Jordán(P) frente a Moab, y no dejaron pasar a nadie. 29 En aquella ocasión mataron a unos 10,000 moabitas, todos hombres robustos y valientes; ninguno escapó. 30 Así Moab fue subyugado aquel día bajo la mano de Israel. Y la tierra tuvo descanso durante ochenta años.
Samgar libra a Israel de los filisteos
31 Después de Aod[v] vino Samgar, hijo de Anat(Q), el cual hirió a 600 filisteos con una aguijada de bueyes. Y él también salvó a Israel.

Judges 3
New International Version
3 These are the nations the Lord left to test(A) all those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan 2 (he did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience): 3 the five(B) rulers of the Philistines,(C) all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites(D) living in the Lebanon mountains from Mount Baal Hermon(E) to Lebo Hamath.(F) 4 They were left to test(G) the Israelites to see whether they would obey the Lord’s commands, which he had given their ancestors through Moses.
5 The Israelites lived(H) among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites,(I) Hivites and Jebusites.(J) 6 They took their daughters(K) in marriage and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.(L)
Othniel
7 The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord; they forgot the Lord(M) their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs.(N) 8 The anger of the Lord burned against Israel so that he sold(O) them into the hands of Cushan-Rishathaim(P) king of Aram Naharaim,[a](Q) to whom the Israelites were subject for eight years. 9 But when they cried out(R) to the Lord, he raised up for them a deliverer,(S) Othniel(T) son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, who saved them. 10 The Spirit of the Lord came on him,(U) so that he became Israel’s judge[b] and went to war. The Lord gave Cushan-Rishathaim(V) king of Aram(W) into the hands of Othniel, who overpowered him. 11 So the land had peace(X) for forty years,(Y) until Othniel son of Kenaz(Z) died.
Ehud
12 Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord,(AA) and because they did this evil the Lord gave Eglon king of Moab(AB) power over Israel. 13 Getting the Ammonites(AC) and Amalekites(AD) to join him, Eglon came and attacked Israel, and they took possession of the City of Palms.[c](AE) 14 The Israelites were subject to Eglon king of Moab(AF) for eighteen years.
15 Again the Israelites cried out to the Lord, and he gave them a deliverer(AG)—Ehud(AH), a left-handed(AI) man, the son of Gera the Benjamite. The Israelites sent him with tribute(AJ) to Eglon king of Moab. 16 Now Ehud(AK) had made a double-edged sword about a cubit[d] long, which he strapped to his right thigh under his clothing. 17 He presented the tribute(AL) to Eglon king of Moab, who was a very fat man.(AM) 18 After Ehud had presented the tribute, he sent on their way those who had carried it. 19 But on reaching the stone images near Gilgal he himself went back to Eglon and said, “Your Majesty, I have a secret message for you.”
The king said to his attendants, “Leave us!” And they all left.
20 Ehud then approached him while he was sitting alone in the upper room of his palace[e](AN) and said, “I have a message from God for you.” As the king rose(AO) from his seat, 21 Ehud reached with his left hand, drew the sword(AP) from his right thigh and plunged it into the king’s belly. 22 Even the handle sank in after the blade, and his bowels discharged. Ehud did not pull the sword out, and the fat closed in over it. 23 Then Ehud went out to the porch[f]; he shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.
24 After he had gone, the servants came and found the doors of the upper room locked. They said, “He must be relieving himself(AQ) in the inner room of the palace.” 25 They waited to the point of embarrassment,(AR) but when he did not open the doors of the room, they took a key and unlocked them. There they saw their lord fallen to the floor, dead.
26 While they waited, Ehud got away. He passed by the stone images and escaped to Seirah. 27 When he arrived there, he blew a trumpet(AS) in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went down with him from the hills, with him leading them.
28 “Follow me,” he ordered, “for the Lord has given Moab,(AT) your enemy, into your hands.(AU)” So they followed him down and took possession of the fords of the Jordan(AV) that led to Moab; they allowed no one to cross over. 29 At that time they struck down about ten thousand Moabites, all vigorous and strong; not one escaped. 30 That day Moab(AW) was made subject to Israel, and the land had peace(AX) for eighty years.
Shamgar
31 After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath,(AY) who struck down six hundred(AZ) Philistines(BA) with an oxgoad. He too saved Israel.

Judges 3
New Living Translation
The Nations Left in Canaan
3 These are the nations that the Lord left in the land to test those Israelites who had not experienced the wars of Canaan. 2 He did this to teach warfare to generations of Israelites who had no experience in battle. 3 These are the nations: the Philistines (those living under the five Philistine rulers), all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites living in the mountains of Lebanon from Mount Baal-hermon to Lebo-hamath. 4 These people were left to test the Israelites—to see whether they would obey the commands the Lord had given to their ancestors through Moses.
5 So the people of Israel lived among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, 6 and they intermarried with them. Israelite sons married their daughters, and Israelite daughters were given in marriage to their sons. And the Israelites served their gods.
Othniel Becomes Israel’s Judge
7 The Israelites did evil in the Lord’s sight. They forgot about the Lord their God, and they served the images of Baal and the Asherah poles. 8 Then the Lord burned with anger against Israel, and he turned them over to King Cushan-rishathaim of Aram-naharaim.[a] And the Israelites served Cushan-rishathaim for eight years.
9 But when the people of Israel cried out to the Lord for help, the Lord raised up a rescuer to save them. His name was Othniel, the son of Caleb’s younger brother, Kenaz. 10 The Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he became Israel’s judge. He went to war against King Cushan-rishathaim of Aram, and the Lord gave Othniel victory over him. 11 So there was peace in the land for forty years. Then Othniel son of Kenaz died.
Ehud Becomes Israel’s Judge
12 Once again the Israelites did evil in the Lord’s sight, and the Lord gave King Eglon of Moab control over Israel because of their evil. 13 Eglon enlisted the Ammonites and Amalekites as allies, and then he went out and defeated Israel, taking possession of Jericho, the city of palms. 14 And the Israelites served Eglon of Moab for eighteen years.
15 But when the people of Israel cried out to the Lord for help, the Lord again raised up a rescuer to save them. His name was Ehud son of Gera, a left-handed man of the tribe of Benjamin. The Israelites sent Ehud to deliver their tribute money to King Eglon of Moab. 16 So Ehud made a double-edged dagger that was about a foot[b] long, and he strapped it to his right thigh, keeping it hidden under his clothing. 17 He brought the tribute money to Eglon, who was very fat.
18 After delivering the payment, Ehud started home with those who had helped carry the tribute. 19 But when Ehud reached the stone idols near Gilgal, he turned back. He came to Eglon and said, “I have a secret message for you.”
So the king commanded his servants, “Be quiet!” and he sent them all out of the room.
20 Ehud walked over to Eglon, who was sitting alone in a cool upstairs room. And Ehud said, “I have a message from God for you!” As King Eglon rose from his seat, 21 Ehud reached with his left hand, pulled out the dagger strapped to his right thigh, and plunged it into the king’s belly. 22 The dagger went so deep that the handle disappeared beneath the king’s fat. So Ehud did not pull out the dagger, and the king’s bowels emptied.[c] 23 Then Ehud closed and locked the doors of the room and escaped down the latrine.[d]
24 After Ehud was gone, the king’s servants returned and found the doors to the upstairs room locked. They thought he might be using the latrine in the room, 25 so they waited. But when the king didn’t come out after a long delay, they became concerned and got a key. And when they opened the doors, they found their master dead on the floor.
26 While the servants were waiting, Ehud escaped, passing the stone idols on his way to Seirah. 27 When he arrived in the hill country of Ephraim, Ehud sounded a call to arms. Then he led a band of Israelites down from the hills.
28 “Follow me,” he said, “for the Lord has given you victory over Moab your enemy.” So they followed him. And the Israelites took control of the shallow crossings of the Jordan River across from Moab, preventing anyone from crossing.
29 They attacked the Moabites and killed about 10,000 of their strongest and most able-bodied warriors. Not one of them escaped. 30 So Moab was conquered by Israel that day, and there was peace in the land for eighty years.
Shamgar Becomes Israel’s Judge
31 After Ehud, Shamgar son of Anath rescued Israel. He once killed 600 Philistines with an ox goad.

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.
