Judges 1
1 After the death of Joshua, the Israelites inquired of the LORD, “Who will be the first to go up and fight for us against the Canaanites?”
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﹖」
2 “Judah shall go up,” answered the LORD. “Indeed, I have delivered the land into their hands.”
上主說﹕「猶大先上去。看，我已將那地交在他手中。」
3 Then the men of Judah said to their brothers the Simeonites, “Come up with us to our allotted territory, and let us fight against the Canaanites. And we likewise will go with you to your territory.” So the Simeonites went with them.
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。
4 When Judah attacked, the LORD delivered the Canaanites and Perizzites into their hands, and they struck down ten thousand men at Bezek.
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。
5 And there they found Adoni-bezek and fought against him, striking down the Canaanites and Perizzites.
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。
6 As Adoni-bezek fled, they pursued him, seized him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
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。
7 Then Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have gathered the scraps under my table. As I have done to them, so God has repaid me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, where he died.
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。
8 Then the men of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured it. They put the city to the sword and set it on fire.
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。
9 Afterward, the men of Judah marched down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country, in the Negev, and in the foothills.
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。
10 Judah also marched against the Canaanites who were living in Hebron (formerly known as Kiriath-arba), and they struck down Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
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。
11 From there they marched against the inhabitants of Debir (formerly known as Kiriath-sepher).
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。
12 And Caleb said, “To the man who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage.”
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。」
13 So Othniel son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.
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。
14 One day Acsah came to Othniel and urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you desire?”
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﹖」
15 “Give me a blessing,” she answered. “Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me springs of water as well.” So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.
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。
16 Now the descendants of Moses’ father-in-law, the Kenite, went up with the men of Judah from the City of Palms to the Wilderness of Judah in the Negev near Arad. They went to live among the people.
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。
17 Then the men of Judah went with their brothers the Simeonites, attacked the Canaanites living in Zephath, and devoted the city to destruction. So it was called Hormah.
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。
18 And Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron—each with its territory.
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。
19 The LORD was with Judah, and they took possession of the hill country; but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the plains because they had chariots of iron.
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。
20 Just as Moses had promised, Judah gave Hebron to Caleb, who drove out the descendants of the three sons of Anak.
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
21 The Benjamites, however, failed to drive out the Jebusites living in Jerusalem. So to this day the Jebusites live there among the Benjamites.
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。
22 The house of Joseph also attacked Bethel, and the LORD was with them.
若瑟家族也上去攻打貝特耳，上主與他們同在。
23 They sent spies to Bethel (formerly known as Luz),
當若瑟家族差人去偵探貝特耳時，─這城昔名叫路次，─
24 and when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, “Please show us how to get into the city, and we will treat you kindly.”
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。」
25 So the man showed them the entrance to the city, and they put the city to the sword but released that man and all his family.
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。
26 And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called it Luz, which is its name to this day.
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。
27 At that time Manasseh failed to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, and their villages; for the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.
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。
28 When Israel became stronger, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor, but they never drove them out completely.
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。
29 Ephraim also failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer; so the Canaanites continued to dwell among them in Gezer.
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。
30 Zebulun failed to drive out the inhabitants of Kitron and Nahalol; so the Canaanites lived among them and served as forced laborers.
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。
31 Asher failed to drive out the inhabitants of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob.
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，
32 So the Asherites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, because they did not drive them out.
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。
33 Naphtali failed to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath. So the Naphtalites also lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, but the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath served them as forced laborers.
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。
34 The Amorites forced the Danites into the hill country and did not allow them to come down into the plain.
阿摩黎人強迫丹的子孫住在山上，不讓他們下到平原。
35 And the Amorites were determined to dwell in Mount Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim. But when the house of Joseph grew in strength, they pressed the Amorites into forced labor.
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。
36 And the border of the Amorites extended from the Ascent of Akrabbim to Sela and beyond.
厄東人的境界，是從阿刻辣賓山坡直到色拉以上地帶。
