士師記 2
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
耶和華的使者在波金
2 耶和華的使者從吉甲上到波金，說：「我領你們從埃及上來，帶你們到我向你們列祖起誓應許之地。我曾說：『我永不廢棄我與你們的約。 2 你們不可與這地的居民立約，要拆毀他們的祭壇。』你們竟沒有聽從我的話。你們為何這樣做呢！ 3 因此我說：『我必不將他們從你們面前趕出。他們必作你們肋下的荊棘[a]，他們的神明必成為你們的圈套。』」 4 耶和華的使者向以色列眾人說這些話的時候，百姓放聲大哭。 5 於是他們給那地方起名叫波金[b]，並在那裏向耶和華獻祭。
約書亞去世
6 約書亞解散百姓，以色列人回到自己的地業，佔各自的地。 7 約書亞在世的日子和他死了以後，那些見過耶和華為以色列所做一切大事的長老還在世的時候，百姓都事奉耶和華。 8 耶和華的僕人，嫩的兒子約書亞死了，那時他一百一十歲。 9 以色列人把他葬在他自己地業的境內，以法蓮山區的亭拿‧希烈，在迦實山的北邊。 10 那世代的人也都歸到自己的列祖。後來興起的另一世代不認識耶和華，也不知道他為以色列所做的事。
以色列離棄耶和華
11 以色列人行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，去事奉諸巴力。 12 他們離棄領他們出埃及地的耶和華—他們列祖的 神，去隨從別神，就是四圍列國的神明，向它們叩拜，惹耶和華發怒。 13 他們離棄了耶和華，去事奉巴力和亞斯她錄。 14 耶和華的怒氣向以色列發作，把他們交在搶奪他們的人手中，又把他們交給四圍仇敵的手中[c]，以致他們在仇敵面前再也不能站立得住。 15 他們無論往何處去，耶和華的手都以災禍攻擊他們，正如耶和華所說的，又如耶和華向他們所起的誓；他們就極其困苦。
16 耶和華興起士師，士師就拯救他們脫離搶奪他們之人的手。 17 然而，他們卻不聽從士師，竟隨從別神而行淫，向它們叩拜。他們列祖所行的道，所聽從耶和華的命令，他們都速速偏離了，並不照樣遵行。 18 耶和華為他們興起士師，耶和華與士師同在。士師在世的一切日子，耶和華拯救他們脫離仇敵的手。耶和華因他們受欺壓迫害所發出的哀聲，就憐憫他們。 19 但士師一死，他們又轉去行惡，比他們祖宗更壞，去隨從別神，事奉叩拜它們，總不放棄他們的惡習和頑梗的行為。 20 於是耶和華的怒氣向以色列發作，說：「因為這國違背我吩咐他們列祖當守的約，不聽從我的話， 21 約書亞死的時候所剩下的各國，我必不再從他們面前趕出任何一個， 22 為要藉此考驗以色列是否肯謹守遵行耶和華的道，像他們列祖一樣地謹守。」 23 耶和華留下那些國家，不將他們速速趕出，也不把他們交在約書亞的手中。
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.
