< 約書亞記 22 >
1 那時若蘇厄將勒烏本人加特人和默納協半支派的人召來,
Then he summoned Joshua the Reubenite[s] and the Gadite[s] and [the] half of [the] tribe of Manasseh.
2 對他們說:「上主僕人梅瑟吩咐你們的一切,你們都遵守了,在我吩咐他們的一切事上,你們也都聽了我的話。
And he said to them you you have kept all that he commanded you Moses [the] servant of Yahweh and you have listened to voice my to all that I have commanded you.
3 這許多日子,你們從來沒有你們的的弟兄,直到今天,忠信遵守了上主你們天主的命令。
Not you have forsaken countrymen your this days many until the day this and you have kept [the] charge of [the] commandment of Yahweh God your.
4 現在上主我們的天主,照衪所應許的,使你們的弟兄獲得了安居,你們現在可返回自己的帳幕,回到上主的僕人梅瑟在約旦河東岸,賜你們為產業的地方去,
And now he has given rest Yahweh God your to countrymen your just as he spoke to them and therefore turn and go for yourselves to tents your to [the] land of possession your which - he gave to you Moses [the] servant of Yahweh on [the] other side of the Jordan.
5 只要要你們遵守上主的僕人梅瑟吩咐你們的誡命和法律:愛慕上主你們的天主,遵行衪的一切道路,謹守衪的誡命,全心人靈歸屬上主,服事上主。」
Only - take care exceedingly to do the commandment and the law which he commanded you Moses [the] servant of Yahweh to love Yahweh God your and to walk in all ways his and to keep commandments his and to cleave to him and to serve him with all heart your and with all being your.
6 若蘇厄於是祝福了他們,打發他們回去;他們就返回了自己的帳幕。──
And he blessed them Joshua and he sent away them and they went to tents their.
7 梅瑟在巴商已分給了默納協半支派土地。至於另半個支派,若蘇厄在約旦河西,在他們的弟兄中,也分給了他們土地,此外,當若蘇厄打發他們回帳幕的時候,祝福了他們,
And to [the] half of - [the] tribe of Manasseh he had given Moses in Bashan and to half of it he had given Joshua with countrymen their (on [the] other side of *Q(K)*) the Jordan west-ward and also if he sent away them Joshua to tents their and he blessed them.
8 向他們說:「現在你們帶著這許多財物、牛、羊、金銀、銅鐵,和大批衣服回到自己的帳幕,也要將你們從由敵人奪得的財物,分給你們的弟兄! 」
And he said to them saying with riches great return to tents your and with livestock much very with silver and with gold and with bronze and with iron and with garments many very divide [the] booty of enemies your with countrymen your.
9 勒烏本人、召集人和默納協半支派的人,於是從客納罕的史羅起身,離開以色列人,回到自己得為產業的基肋阿得,即上主藉梅瑟吩咐給他們作為產業的地方。
And they returned and they went [the] descendants of Reuben and [the] descendants of Gad and [the] half of - [the] tribe of Manasseh from with [the] people of Israel from Shiloh which [is] in [the] land of Canaan to go to [the] land of Gilead to [the] land of possession their which they had possessions in it on [the] mouth of Yahweh by [the] hand of Moses.
10 當勒烏本人、加得和默納協半支派的人來到屬客納罕地的約旦河附近地區時,在約旦河邊築了一座祭壇,一座高大可觀的祭壇。
And they came to Geliloth of the Jordan which [is] in [the] land of Canaan and they built [the] descendants of Reuben and [the] descendants of Gad and [the] half of [the] tribe of Manasseh there an altar at the Jordan an altar large of appearance.
11 以色列人聽見說:「看,勒烏本人、加得人和默納協半支派的人,在屬客納罕地的約旦河附近地區,以色列子民境內,築了一座祭壇。」
And they heard [the] people of Israel saying there! they have built [the] descendants of Reuben and [the] descendants of Gad and [the] half of [the] tribe of Manasseh the altar to opposite to [the] land of Canaan to Geliloth of the Jordan to [the] side of [the] people of Israel.
12 以色列子民一聽說這事,全會眾便聚集在史羅,要去作戰攻打他們。
And they heard [the] people of Israel and they assembled all [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel Shiloh to go up on them for war.
13 以色列子民便委派厄肋阿匝爾的兒子丕乃哈斯司祭,到基肋阿得地方去見勒烏本人、加得人和默納協半支派人,
And they sent [the] people of Israel to [the] descendants of Reuben and to [the] descendants of Gad and to [the] half of [the] tribe of Manasseh to [the] land of Gilead Phinehas [the] son of Eleazar the priest.
14 和他們同去的尚有十位領袖,每支派一個,他們都是以色列各家族的族長。
And ten leaders [were] with him a leader one a leader one to [the] house of a father to all [the] tribes of Israel and each [was] a leader of [the] house of fathers their they [belong] to [the] families of Israel.
15 他們來到基肋阿得地方,見勒烏本人、加得人和默納協半支派人,向他們說:
And they went to [the] descendants of Reuben and to [the] descendants of Gad and to [the] half of [the] tribe of Manasseh to [the] land of Gilead and they spoke with them saying.
16 「上主的全會眾這樣說:你們相反以色列的天主,犯這不信的罪,有什麼意思﹖為什麼你們今天離開上主,另建立祭壇,公開背叛上主﹖
Thus they say all - [the] congregation of Yahweh what? [is] the unfaithfulness this which you have acted unfaithfully against [the] God of Israel by turning back this day from after Yahweh when built you for yourselves an altar by rebelling your this day against Yahweh.
17 以前敬拜培敖爾的罪萵為我們還不夠嗎﹖為了那個罪過,災禍降於上主的會眾,直到今天,我們還沒洗淨:
¿ Little for us [was] [the] iniquity of Peor which not we have cleansed ourselves from it until the day this and it was the plague among [the] congregation of Yahweh.
18 看,你們今天又要離開上主,你們今天違背上主,明天衪必向以色列全會眾發怒。
And you you are turning away this day from after Yahweh and it will be you you are rebelling this day against Yahweh and tomorrow against all [the] congregation of Israel he will be angry.
19 如果你們認為所得的地方不潔,可以回到上主的地方,上主帳幕的所在地,住在我們中間;決不可違背上主,激怒我們,在上主我們的祭壇以外,為自己另築祭壇。
And surely if [is] unclean [the] land of possession your pass over for yourselves into [the] land of [the] possession of Yahweh where it dwells there [the] tabernacle of Yahweh and have possessions in midst of us and against Yahweh may not you rebel and us to may you rebel when build you for yourselves an altar except [the] altar of Yahweh God our.
20 以前則辣黑的子孫阿干,在應毀滅的財物上犯了不忠之罪,雖只他一人犯罪,憤怒豈不是臨到以色列全會眾﹖死在他罪過中的不只他一人」。
¿ Not - Achan [the] son of Zerah did he act unfaithfully unfaithfulness in the devoted thing[s] and towards all [the] congregation of Israel it was anger and he [was] a man one not did he die? for iniquity his.
21 勒烏本人、加得和默納協半支派的人,回答以色列的首長說:
And they answered [the] descendants of Reuben and [the] descendants of Gad and [the] half of [the] tribe of Manasseh and they spoke with [the] leaders of [the] families of Israel.
22 「大能者天主上主,大能者天主上主清楚知道,以色列也明白:如果我們有違背或干犯上主的事,願衪今天別救我們!
El - God - Yahweh El - God - Yahweh he [is] knowing and Israel it let it know if in rebellion and if in unfaithfulness on Yahweh may not you save us the day this.
23 如果我們建築這祭壇,有意離開上主,或有意在祭壇上祭全燔祭、素祭或和平祭,願上主自己懲罰我們!
To build for ourselves an altar to turn back from after Yahweh and if to offer up on it a burnt offering and a grain offering and if to make on it sacrifices of peace offerings Yahweh he may he require.
24 我們做這事,其實正是顧慮到:將來你們的子孫會對我們的子孫說:你們和上主以色列的天主有什麼關係﹖
And if not from anxiety from a matter we have done this saying tomorrow they will say descendants your to descendants our saying what? [is] to you and to Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
25 天主定了約旦河為我們和你們勒烏本和和得人之間的界限,你們和上主已沒有分子。這樣你們的子孫必使我們的的子孫不再敬畏上主。
And a border he has put Yahweh between us and between you [the] descendants of Reuben and [the] descendants of Gad the Jordan not [belongs] to you a portion in Yahweh and they will cause to cease descendants your descendants our to not to fear Yahweh.
26 因此我們想:我們還是建築一座祭壇,不是為獻全燔祭,也不是為祭獻犧牲,
And we said let us act please for ourselves by building the altar not for burnt offering and not for sacrifice.
27 只是為在你我之間,在你我後人之間作一證據,證明我們願在上主面前以全燔祭犧牲及和平祭敬禮上主,免得日後你們的子孫對我們的子孫說:你們與上主已沒有分子o
For [is] a witness it between us and between you and between generations our after us to serve [the] service of Yahweh before him with burnt offerings our and with sacrifices our and with peace offerings our and not they will say descendants your tomorrow to descendants our not [belongs] to you a portion in Yahweh.
28 因此我們想:日後如有人對我們或我們的子孫說,我們可以說:你們試看我們的祖先所築的上主的祭壇的式樣,不是為獻全燔祭,也不是為獻犧牲,而是為作你我之間的證劇。
And we said and it will be that they will say to us and to generations our tomorrow and we will say see [the] copy of [the] altar of Yahweh which they made ancestors our not for burnt offering and not for sacrifice for [is] a witness it between us and between you.
29 我們今天沒有意思違背上主,離開上主,在上主我們天主的帳幕前的祭壇以外,為獻全墦祭、素祭和犧牲,另建立一祭壇。」
Far be it to us from us to rebel against Yahweh and to turn back this day from after Yahweh by building an altar for burnt offering for grain offering and for sacrifice besides [the] altar of Yahweh God our which [is] before tabernacle his.
30 司祭丕乃哈斯和同他同來的會眾的首領,即以色列人的族長,聽了勒烏本人、加得人和默納協人所的話,都表示滿意。
And he heard Phinehas the priest and [the] leaders of the congregation and [the] heads of [the] families of Israel who [were] with him the words which they spoke [the] descendants of Reuben and [the] descendants of Gad and [the] descendants of Manasseh and it was good in view their.
31 厄肋阿則爾的兒子丕乃哈司祭對勒烏本人、加得人和默納協人說:「今天我們知道上主是在我們中間,因為你們對上主沒有犯過這樣不忠信的罪,現在你們由上主手中救了以色列子民。」
And he said Phinehas [the] son of Eleazar the priest to [the] descendants of Reuben and to [the] descendants of Gad and to [the] descendants of Manasseh this day - we know that [is] among midst of us Yahweh that not you have acted unfaithfully against Yahweh the unfaithfulness this then you have delivered [the] people of Israel from [the] hand of Yahweh.
32 厄肋阿則爾的兒子丕乃哈司祭和首領便離開勒烏本人、加得人和默納協半支派的人,從基肋阿得地方回到客納罕地見以色列子民,給他們報告了這事。
And he returned Phinehas [the] son of Eleazar the priest - and the leaders from with [the] descendants of Reuben and from with [the] descendants of Gad from [the] land of Gilead to [the] land of Canaan to [the] people of Israel and they brought back with them word.
33 以色列子民對這報告都表示滿意,遂頌揚上主,不再想作戰攻打勒烏本人和加得人,毀滅他們所住的地方。
And it was good the word in [the] eyes of [the] people of Israel and they blessed God [the] people of Israel and not they said to go up on them for war to destroy the land which [the] descendants of Reuben and [the] descendants of Gad [were] dwelling in it.
34 勒烏本人和加得人給那祭壇起名叫「赫得,」因為他們說:「這祭壇在我們中間證明上主是真天主。」
And they called [the] descendants of Reuben and [the] descendants of Gad the altar for [is] a witness it between us that Yahweh [is] God.
