士師記 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
迦南餘族
3 1-2 耶和華為了考驗那些沒有經歷過迦南戰事的以色列人，讓他們學習作戰，就留下了以下各族： 3 五個非利士王、所有的迦南人、西頓人和住在巴力·黑門山到哈馬口一帶的黎巴嫩山區的希未人。 4 耶和華留下這幾個外族是要考驗以色列人，看他們是否願意遵從祂藉摩西向他們祖先頒佈的誡命。 5 以色列人住在這些迦南人、赫人、亞摩利人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人當中， 6 跟他們通婚，祭拜他們的神明。
士師俄陀聶
7 以色列人做耶和華視為惡的事，忘記他們的上帝耶和華，祭拜假神巴力和亞舍拉。 8 耶和華向他們發怒，把他們交在美索不達米亞王古珊·利薩田的手中，受古珊·利薩田統治八年。 9 他們向耶和華呼求，耶和華就使一位名叫俄陀聶的拯救者興起，他是迦勒弟弟基納斯的兒子。 10 耶和華的靈降在俄陀聶身上，他就做了以色列的士師，領兵出戰。耶和華將美索不達米亞王古珊·利薩田交在他手中，他便戰勝了古珊·利薩田。 11 此後，國內安享太平四十年，直到俄陀聶去世。
士師以笏
12 之後，以色列人又做耶和華視為惡的事，耶和華就使摩押王伊磯倫強盛起來，攻打以色列人。 13 伊磯倫聯合亞捫人和亞瑪力人進攻以色列人，佔據了棕樹城， 14 以色列人受摩押王伊磯倫統治十八年。 15 他們呼求耶和華，耶和華就使一位名叫以笏的拯救者興起。他是便雅憫人基拉的兒子，善用左手。以色列人派他去向摩押王伊磯倫進貢。 16 他造了一把約半米長的兩刃利劍，綁在右腿的衣服裡。 17 他帶著貢物去見肥胖的摩押王伊磯倫。 18 以笏獻上了貢物之後，便和抬貢物的人一起離去。 19 到了吉甲附近雕石神像的地方，他讓抬貢物的人先回去，自己則折回王宮，對王說：「王啊，我有機密稟告。」王就命左右的人迴避，眾人便都退去了。 20 當時王獨自坐在樓上的房間乘涼，以笏近前說：「我有從上帝而來的訊息要稟告。」王站起來的時候， 21 以笏左手拔出藏在右腿上的劍刺進王的肚腹， 22 連劍柄也刺了進去，深深嵌入肥肉。以笏沒有拔劍， 23 便走出房間，把門都關上，鎖好。
24 以笏走後，王的僕人過來，見房門緊鎖，以為王在大解。 25 等了很久，門還沒開，他們很焦急，就拿鑰匙開門，發現他們的主人已經倒斃在地上。
26 他們等待的時候，以笏已經逃走了。他經過雕石神像的地方，逃往西伊拉。 27 到了那裡，他就在以法蓮的山區吹響號角，召集以色列人。眾人跟隨以笏下山， 28 以笏對他們說：「跟我來！耶和華已經把仇敵摩押人交在你們手中了。」於是，眾人跟著他佔領了通往摩押的約旦河各渡口，不許任何人渡河。 29 當時他們殺了約一萬名強悍善戰的摩押勇士，沒有一人逃脫。 30 這樣，以色列人征服了摩押人，國中安享太平八十年。
珊迦
31 以笏之後，亞拿的兒子珊迦拯救了以色列人。他曾用一根趕牛棍殺了六百名非利士人。
Judges 3
Darby Translation
3 And these are the nations that Jehovah left, to prove Israel by them, all that had not known all the wars of Canaan;
2 only that the generations of the children of Israel might know war by learning it, at the least those who before had known nothing thereof:
3 five lord ships of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwell on mount Lebanon; from mount Baal-Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commandments of Jehovah, 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 as wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgot Jehovah their God, and served the Baals and the Asherahs.
8 And the anger of Jehovah was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.
9 And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah; and Jehovah raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
10 And the Spirit of Jehovah was upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Jehovah gave Chushan-rishathaim king of Syria into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
11 And the land had rest forty years; and Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
12 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they did evil in the sight of Jehovah.
13 And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek and went and smote Israel, and they took possession of the city of palm-trees.
14 And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15 And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah, and Jehovah raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a man left-handed. And by him the children of Israel sent a gift to Eglon king of Moab.
16 And Ehud made him a sword having two edges, it was of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right hip.
17 And he brought the gift to Eglon king of Moab; now Eglon was a very fat man.
18 And it came to pass when he had ended offering the gift, he sent away the people that had borne the gift.
19 But he turned from the graven images that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret word unto thee, O king. And he said, Be silent! And all that stood by him went out from him.
20 And Ehud came to him; now he was sitting in the cool upper-chamber, which was for him alone. And Ehud said, I have a word from God unto thee. And he arose from the seat.
21 Then Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right hip, and thrust it into his belly;
22 and the haft also went in after the blade, and the fat closed upon the blade; for he did not draw the sword out of his belly, and it came out between the legs.
23 And Ehud went out into the portico, and shut the doors of the upper-chamber upon him, and bolted them.
24 And when he was gone out, the servants of the [king] came and saw, and behold, the doors of the upper-chamber were bolted. And they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the summer chamber.
25 And they waited till they were ashamed; and behold, he opened not the doors of the upper-chamber, and they took the key, and opened [them], and behold, their lord lay dead on the earth.
26 And Ehud had escaped while they lingered, and passed beyond the graven images, and escaped to Seirah.
27 And it came to pass when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them.
28 And he said to them, Follow after me, for Jehovah has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan toward Moab, and suffered no one to pass over.
29 And they slew the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand men, all fat, and all men of valour, and not a man escaped.
30 And Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath; and he smote the Philistines, six hundred men, with an ox-goad. And he also delivered Israel.
