< 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﹖」
Aftir the deeth of Josue the sones of Israel counseliden the Lord, and seiden, Who schal stie bifor vs ayens Cananei, and schal be duik of the batel?
2 上主說﹕「猶大先上去。看,我已將那地交在他手中。」
And the Lord seide, Judas schal stie; lo! Y haue youe the lond in to hise hondis.
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。
And Juda seide to Symeon, his brother, Stie thou with me in my lot, and fiyte thou ayens Cananei, that Y go with thee in thi lot.
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。
And Symeon yede with hym; and Judas stiede. And the Lord bitook Cananey and Feresei in to `the hondis of hem, and thei killiden in Besech ten thousynde of men.
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。
And thei founden Adonybozech in Besech, and thei fouyten ayens hym, and smytiden Cananei, and Feresey.
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。
Forsothe Adonybozech fledde, whom thei pursueden, and token, and kittiden the endis of hise hondis and feet.
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。
And Adonybozech seide, Seuenti kyngis, whanne the endis of hondis and feet weren kit awey, gaderiden relifs of metis vndur my bord; as Y dide, so God hath yolde to me. And thei brouyten hym in to Jerusalem, and there he diede.
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。
Therfor the sones of Juda fouyten ayens Jerusalem, and token it, and smytiden bi the scharpnesse of swerd, and bitoken al the cytee to brennyng.
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。
And aftirward thei yeden doun, and fouyten ayens Cananey, that dwellide in the hilli places, and at the south, in `feeldi places.
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。
And Judas yede ayens Cananei, that dwellide in Ebron, whos name was bi eld tyme Cariatharbe; and Judas killide Sisay, and Achyman, and Tholmai.
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。
And fro thennus he yede forth, and yede to the dwelleris of Dabir, whos eld name was Cariathsepher, that is, the citee of lettris.
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。」
And Caleph seide, Y schal yyue Axa, my douyter, wijf to hym that schal smyte Cariathsepher, and schal waste 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。
And whanne Othonyel, sone of Seneth, the lesse brother of Caleph, hadde take it, Caleph yaf Axa, his douyter, wijf to hym.
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﹖」
And hir hosebonde stiride hir, goynge in the weie, that sche schulde axe of hir fadir a feeld; and whanne sche hadde siyid, sittynge on the asse, Caleph seide to hir, What hast thou?
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。
And sche answeride, Yiue thou blessyng to me, for thou hast youe a drye lond to me; yyue thou also a moyst lond with watris. And Caleph yaf to hir the moist lond aboue, and the moist lond bynethe.
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。
Forsothe the sones of Cyney, `alye of Moyses, stieden fro the citee of palmes with the sones of Juda, in to the desert of his lot, which desert is at the south of Arath; and dwelliden with hym.
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。
Sotheli Judas yede with Symeon, his brother; and thei smytiden togidere Cananei, that dwellide in Sephar, and killiden hym; and the name of that citee was clepid Horma, that is, cursyng, `ether perfit distriyng, for thilke citee was distried outerly.
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。
And Judas took Gaza with hise coostis, and Ascolon, and Accaron with hise termes.
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。
And the Lord was with Judas, and he `hadde in possessioun the hilli places; and he myyte not do awey the dwelleris of the valei, for thei weren plenteuouse in `yrun charis, scharpe as sithis.
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
And `the sones of Israel yauen Ebron to Caleph, as Moises hadde seid, which Caleph dide awei for it thre sones of Enach.
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。
Forsothe the sones of Beniamyn diden not awei Jebusei, the dwellere of Jerusalem; and Jebusei dwellide with the sones of Beniamyn in Jerusalem `til in to present dai.
Also the hows of Joseph stiede in to Bethel, and the Lord was with hem.
23 當若瑟家族差人去偵探貝特耳時,─這城昔名叫路次,─
For whanne thei bisegiden the citee, that was clepid Lusa bifore,
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。」
thei sien a man goynge out of the citee, and thei seiden to hym, Schewe thou to vs the entrynge of the cytee, and we schulen do mercy with thee.
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。
And whanne he hadde schewid to hem, thei smytiden the citee bi scharpnes of swerd; sotheli thei delyueriden that man and al his kynrede.
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。
And he was delyuerede, and yede in to the lond of Sethym, and bildide there a citee, and clepid it Luzam; which is clepid so til in to present dai.
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。
Also Manasses dide not awei Bethsan and Thanael with her townes, and the dwelleris of Endor, and Geblaam and Magedo with her townes; and Cananei bigan to dwelle with hem.
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。
Sotheli after that Israel was coumfortid, he made hem tributaries, `ethir to paye tribute, and nolde do awey hem.
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。
Sotheli Effraym killide not Cananei that dwellyde in Gaser, but dwellide with hym.
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。
Zabulon dide not awey the dwelleris of Cethron, and of Naalon; but Cananei dwellide in the myddis of hym, and was maad tributarie to him.
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,
Also Aser dide not awey the dwelleris of Acho, and of Sidon, of Alab, and of Azazib, and of Alba, and Aphech, and of Aloa, and of Pha, and of Roob; and he dwellide in the myddis of Cananey,
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。
dwellere of that lond, and killide not hym.
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。
Neptalym dide not awei the dwelleris of Bethsames, and of Bethanach; and he dwellide among Cananey, dwellere of the lond; and Bethsamytis and Bethanytis weren tributarie to hym.
34 阿摩黎人強迫丹的子孫住在山上,不讓他們下到平原。
And Ammorrey helde streit the sones of Dan in the hil, and yaf not place to hem to go doun to pleynere places;
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。
and he dwellide in the hil of Hares, `which is interpretid, Witnessyng, in Hailon, and in Salabym. And the hond of the hows of Joseph was maad heuy, and he was maad tributarie to hym.
36 厄東人的境界,是從阿刻辣賓山坡直到色拉以上地帶。
And the terme of Ammorrei was fro the stiyng of Scorpioun, and the stoon, and hiyere places.
