士師記 1
1 大與西默盎出征 若蘇厄死後，以色列子民詢問上主說：「我們中誰應首先上去供攻打客納罕人﹖」
After the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of the LORD, saying, “Who should go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?”
2 上主說﹕「猶大先上去。看，我已將那地交在他手中。」
The LORD said, “Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.”
3 猶大遂對自己的兄弟西默盎說﹕「請你同我到我拈龜所得的地方去，與客納罕人作戰，日後我也同你到你拈龜所得的地方去。」西默盎就同他去了。
Judah said to Simeon his brother, “Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into your lot.” So Simeon went with him.
4 猶大上去，上主把客納罕人和培黎齊人交在他們手中，他們在貝則克擊殺了一萬人。
Judah went up, and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand. They struck ten thousand men in Bezek.
5 他們在貝則克又遇上了阿多尼貝則克，與他交戰，擊敗了客納罕人和培黎齊人。
They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and they fought against him. They struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 阿多尼貝則克逃走，他們在後面追趕，捉住他，割去了他手腳的姆指。
But Adoni-Bezek fled. They pursued him, caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
7 阿多尼貝則克說：「七十位王子被割去了手腳的姆指，在我桌下拾取零碎食物；天主照我所行的報復了我。」他們將他帶到耶路撒冷，他就死在那裏。
Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their big toes cut off, scavenged under my table. As I have done, so God has done to me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
8 猶大子孫攻打了耶路撒冷，將城佔領，用利劍殺了城中的居民，放火燒了城。
The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, took it, struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
9 此後，猶大子孫下去與住在山地、南方和平原的客納罕人作戰。
After that, the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, and in the South, and in the lowland.
10 猶大又去攻打住在赫貝龍的客納罕人，─郝貝龍以前名叫克黎雅特阿爾巴─擊敗了舍瑟、阿希曼和塔耳買。
Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron. (The name of Hebron before that was Kiriath Arba.) They struck Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 他們從那裏又去攻打住在德彼爾的居民，─德彼爾以前名叫克黎雅特色費爾。
From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (The name of Debir before that was Kiriath Sepher.)
12 那時加肋布說：「誰能攻打克黎雅特色費爾，將城拿下，我就將我的女兒阿革撒嫁給他為妻。」
Caleb said, “I will give Achsah my daughter as wife to the man who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it.”
13 加肋布的弟弟刻納次的兒子敖特尼耳奪取了那城，加肋布遂把自己的女兒阿革撒嫁給他為妻。
Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it, so he gave him Achsah his daughter as his wife.
14 當她過門的時候，丈夫勸她向父親要一塊田地，她一下驢，加肋布便問她說：「你要什麼﹖」
When she came, she got him to ask her father for a field. She got off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, “What would you like?”
15 她答說：「請你給我一件禮物，因為你既把我安置於南方旱地，求你也將水泉給我! 」加肋布遂把上泉和下泉給了她。
She said to him, “Give me a blessing; because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” Then Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
16 梅瑟的姻親刻尼的子孫從棕樹城上來，同猶大子孫一同往阿辣得南方的猶大曠野去，與那裏的百姓住在一起。
The children of the Kenite, Moses’ brother-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and lived with the people.
17 以後猶大和他兄弟西默盎又起程，擊敗了住在責法特的客納罕人，將城完全毀滅，故稱這城為曷爾瑪。
Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they struck the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. The name of the city was called Hormah.
18 猶大卻未能奪取迦薩及其四境；阿布刻隆及其四境；厄刻龍及其四境。
Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Ashkelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.
19 上主與猶大同在，因此，他佔據了山地，但不能趕走平原的居民，因為他們有鐵甲車。
The LORD was with Judah, and drove out the inhabitants of the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
20 按照梅瑟吩咐的，他們把赫貝龍給了加肋布，因為他由那裏鏟除了阿納克的三支後裔。其餘各支派佔領基業
They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, and he drove the three sons of Anak out of there.
21 本雅明子孫沒有逐出住在耶路撒冷的耶步斯人，因此耶步斯人與本雅明子孫，直到今日同住在耶路撒冷。
The children of Benjamin didn’t drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem, but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22 若瑟家族也上去攻打貝特耳，上主與他們同在。
The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the LORD was with them.
23 當若瑟家族差人去偵探貝特耳時，─這城昔名叫路次，─
The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city before that was Luz.)
24 偵探看見一個人從城裏出來，就向他說：「請指給我們進城的路，我們必要恩待你。」
The watchers saw a man come out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you.”
25 那人就指給了他們進城的路；他們用刀屠殺了全城的百姓，但把那人和他全家放走了。
He showed them the entrance into the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go.
26 那人到了赫特人的地方，建了一座城，起名叫路次，直到今日仍叫此名。
The man went into the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
27 默納協沒有趕走貝特商及其屬境的居民，塔納客及其屬境的居民，多爾及其屬境的居民，依貝肋罕及其屬境的居民，默基多及其屬境的居民，客納罕人依舊住在這些地方。
Manasseh didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its towns, nor Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
28 等到以色列強盛了，只能使客納罕人服役，終未能把他們全部逐出。
When Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labour, and didn’t utterly drive them out.
29 厄弗辣因也沒有逐出住在革則爾的客納罕人，所以客納罕人仍在革則爾住在他們中間。
Ephraim didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, but the Canaanites lived in Gezer amongst them.
30 則步隆也沒有逐出克特龍的居民及納哈羅耳的居民，客納罕人仍住在他們中間，但應為他們服役。
Zebulun didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived amongst them, and became subject to forced labour.
31 阿協爾也沒有把阿苛、漆冬、阿赫拉布、阿革齊布、赫耳巴、阿費克和勒曷布的居民逐出，
Asher didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;
32 所以阿協爾人住在當地的居民客納罕人中間，因為他們沒有把他們逐出去。
but the Asherites lived amongst the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they didn’t drive them out.
33 納裴塔里也沒有把貝特舍默士的居民和貝特阿納特的居民逐出，於是他們就住在當地的居民客納罕人中間；但是貝特舍默士和貝特阿納特的居民應為他們服役。
Naphtali didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but he lived amongst the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and of Beth Anath became subject to forced labour.
34 阿摩黎人強迫丹的子孫住在山上，不讓他們下到平原。
The Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;
35 阿摩黎人依舊住在哈爾赫勒斯、阿雅隆和沙耳賓；但在若瑟家族勢力強大之後，他們就成了服役的人。
but the Amorites would dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim. Yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became subject to forced labour.
36 厄東人的境界，是從阿刻辣賓山坡直到色拉以上地帶。
The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
