Judges 20
1 And all the children of Israel went out, and all the congregation was gathered as one man, from Dan even to Bersabee, and in the land of Galaad, to the Lord at Massepha.
于是以色列从但到别是巴，以及住基列地的众人都出来，如同一人，聚集在米斯巴耶和华面前。
2 And all the tribes of Israel stood before the Lord in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
以色列民的首领，就是各支派的军长，都站在 神百姓的会中；拿刀的步兵共有四十万。
3 And the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Massepha: and the children of Israel came and said, Tell us, where did this wickedness take place?
以色列人上到米斯巴，便雅悯人都听见了。以色列人说：“请你将这件恶事的情由对我们说明。”
4 And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I and my concubine went to Gabaa of Benjamin to lodge.
那利未人，就是被害之妇人的丈夫，回答说：“我和我的妾到了便雅悯的基比亚住宿。
5 And the men of Gabaa rose up against me, and compassed the house by night against me; they wished to kill me, and they have humbled my concubine, and she is dead.
基比亚人夜间起来，围了我住的房子，想要杀我，又将我的妾强奸致死。
6 And I laid hold of my concubine, and divided her in pieces, and sent [the parts] into every coast of the inheritance of the children of Israel; for they have wrought lewdness and abomination in Israel.
我就把我妾的尸身切成块子，使人拿着传送以色列得为业的全地，因为基比亚人在以色列中行了凶淫丑恶的事。
7 Behold, all you [are] children of Israel; and consider and take counsel here amongst yourselves.
你们以色列人都当筹划商议。”
8 And all the people rose up as one man, saying, No one of us shall return to his tent, and no one of us shall return to his house.
众民都起来如同一人，说：“我们连一人都不回自己帐棚、自己房屋去。
9 And now this [is] the thing which shall be done in Gabaa; we will go up against it by lot.
我们向基比亚人必这样行，照所掣的签去攻击他们。
10 Moreover we will take ten men for a hundred for all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred for a thousand, and a thousand for ten thousand, to take provision, to cause them to come to Gabaa of Benjamin, to do to it according to all the abomination, which they wrought in Israel.
我们要在以色列各支派中，一百人挑取十人，一千人挑取百人，一万人挑取千人，为民运粮，等大众到了便雅悯的基比亚，就照基比亚人在以色列中所行的丑事征伐他们。”
11 And all the men of Israel were gathered to the city as one man.
于是以色列众人彼此连合如同一人，聚集攻击那城。
12 And the tribes of Israel sent men through the whole tribe of Benjamin, saying, What [is] this wickedness that has been wrought amongst you?
以色列众支派打发人去，问便雅悯支派的各家说：“你们中间怎么做了这样的恶事呢？
13 Now then give up the men the sons of transgressors that are in Gabaa, and we will put them to death, and purge out wickedness from Israel: but the children of Benjamin consented not to listen to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.
现在你们要将基比亚的那些匪徒交出来，我们好治死他们，从以色列中除掉这恶。”便雅悯人却不肯听从他们弟兄以色列人的话。
14 And the children of Benjamin were gathered from their cities to Gabaa, to go forth to fight with the children of Israel.
便雅悯人从他们的各城里出来，聚集到了基比亚，要与以色列人打仗。
15 And the children of Benjamin from their cities were numbered in that day, twenty-three thousand, [every] man drawing a sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men of all the people, able to use both hands alike;
那时便雅悯人从各城里点出拿刀的，共有二万六千；另外还有基比亚人点出七百精兵。
16 All these could sling with stones at a hair, and not miss.
在众军之中有拣选的七百精兵，都是左手便利的，能用机弦甩石打人，毫发不差。
17 And the men of Israel, exclusive of Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword; all these [were] men of war.
便雅悯人之外，点出以色列人拿刀的，共有四十万，都是战士。
18 And they arose and went up to Baethel, and enquired of God: and the children of Israel said, Who shall go up for us first to fight with the children of Benjamin? And the Lord said, Juda shall go up first as leader.
以色列人就起来，到伯特利去求问 神说：“我们中间谁当首先上去与便雅悯人争战呢？”耶和华说：“犹大当先上去。”
19 And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gabaa.
以色列人早晨起来，对着基比亚安营。
20 And they went out, all the men of Israel, to fight with Benjamin, and engaged with them at Gabaa.
以色列人出来，要与便雅悯人打仗，就在基比亚前摆阵。
21 And the sons of Benjamin went forth from Gabaa, and they destroyed in Israel on that day two and twenty thousand men down to the ground.
便雅悯人就从基比亚出来，当日杀死以色列人二万二千。
22 And the men of Israel strengthened themselves, and again engaged in battle in the place where they had engaged on the first day.
以色列人彼此奋勇，仍在头一日摆阵的地方又摆阵。
23 And the children of Israel went up, and wept before the Lord till evening, and enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall we again draw near to battle with our brethren the children of Benjamin? and the Lord said, Go up against them.
未摆阵之先，以色列人上去，在耶和华面前哭号，直到晚上，求问耶和华说：“我们再去与我们弟兄便雅悯人打仗可以不可以？”耶和华说：“可以上去攻击他们。”
24 And the children of Israel advanced against the children of Benjamin on the second day.
第二日，以色列人就上前攻击便雅悯人。
25 And the children of Benjamin went forth to meet them from Gabaa on the second day, and destroyed of the children of Israel yet further eighteen thousand men down to the ground: all these drew sword.
便雅悯人也在这日从基比亚出来，与以色列人接战，又杀死他们一万八千，都是拿刀的。
26 And the children of Israel and all the people went up, and came to Baethel; and they wept, and sat there before the Lord; and they fasted on that day until evening, and offered whole burnt offerings and perfect sacrifices, before the Lord,
以色列众人就上到伯特利，坐在耶和华面前哭号，当日禁食直到晚上；又在耶和华面前献燔祭和平安祭。
27 for the ark of the Lord God [was] there in those days,
那时， 神的约柜在那里；亚伦的孙子、以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈侍立在约柜前。以色列人问耶和华说：“我们当再出去与我们弟兄便雅悯人打仗呢？还是罢兵呢？”耶和华说：“你们当上去，因为明日我必将他们交在你们手中。”
28 and Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron stood before it in those days; and the children of Israel enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall we yet again go forth to fight with our brethren the sons of Benjamin? and the Lord said, Go up, to-morrow I will give them into your hands.
29 And the children of Israel set an ambush against Gabaa round about [it].
以色列人在基比亚的四围设下伏兵。
30 And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and arrayed themselves against Gabaa as before.
第三日，以色列人又上去攻击便雅悯人，在基比亚前摆阵，与前两次一样。
31 And the children of Benjamin went out to meet the people, and were all drawn out of the city, and began to strike and kill the people as before in the roads, whereof one goes up to Baethel, and one to Gabaa in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
便雅悯人也出来迎敌，就被引诱离城；在田间两条路上，一通伯特利，一通基比亚，像前两次，动手杀死以色列人约有三十个。
32 And the children of Benjamin said, They fall before us as at the first: but the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them out from the city into the roads; and they did so.
便雅悯人说：“他们仍旧败在我们面前。”但以色列人说：“我们不如逃跑，引诱他们离开城到路上来。”
33 And all the men rose up out of their places, and engaged in Baal Thamar; and the liers in wait of Israel advanced from their place from Maraagabe.
以色列众人都起来，在巴力·他玛摆阵，以色列的伏兵从马利·迦巴埋伏的地方冲上前去。
34 And there came over against Gabaa ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel; and the fight [was] severe; and they knew not that evil was coming upon them.
有以色列人中的一万精兵，来到基比亚前接战，势派甚是凶猛；便雅悯人却不知道灾祸临近了。
35 And the Lord struck Benjamin before the children of Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin in that day a hundred and twenty-five thousand men: all these drew sword.
耶和华使以色列人杀败便雅悯人。那日，以色列人杀死便雅悯人二万五千一百，都是拿刀的。
36 And the children of Benjamin saw that they were struck; and the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted in the ambuscade which they had prepared against Gabaa.
于是便雅悯人知道自己败了。先是以色列人；因为靠着在基比亚前所设的伏兵，就在便雅悯人面前诈败。
37 And when they retreated, then the liers in wait rose up, and they moved towards Gabaa, and the whole ambush came forth, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword.
伏兵急忙闯进基比亚，用刀杀死全城的人。
38 And the children of Israel had a signal of battle with the liers in wait, that they should send up a signal of smoke from the city.
以色列人预先同伏兵约定在城内放火，以烟气上腾为号。
39 And the children of Israel saw that the liers in wait had seized Gabaa, and they stood in line of battle; and Benjamin began to strike down wounded ones amongst the men of Israel about thirty men; for they said, Surely they fall again before us, as in the first battle.
以色列人临退阵的时候，便雅悯人动手杀死以色列人，约有三十个，就说：“他们仍像前次被我们杀败了。”
40 And the signal went up increasingly over the city as a pillar of smoke; and Benjamin looked behind him, and behold the destruction of the city went up to heaven.
当烟气如柱从城中上腾的时候，便雅悯人回头观看，见全城的烟气冲天。
41 And the men of Israel turned back, and the men of Benjamin hasted, because they saw that evil had come upon them.
以色列人又转身回来，便雅悯人就甚惊惶，因为看见灾祸临到自己了。
42 And they turned to the way of the wilderness from before the children of Israel, and fled: but the battle overtook them, and they from the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.
他们在以色列人面前转身往旷野逃跑；以色列人在后面追杀。那从各城里出来的，也都夹攻杀灭他们。
43 And they cut down Benjamin, and pursued him from Nua closely till they came opposite Gabaa on the east.
以色列人围绕便雅悯人，追赶他们，在他们歇脚之处、对着日出之地的基比亚践踏他们。
44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men: all these [were] men of might.
便雅悯人死了的有一万八千，都是勇士。
45 And the rest turned, and fled to the wilderness to the rock of Remmon; and the children of Israel picked off of them five thousand men; and the children of Israel went down after them as far as Gedan, and they struck of them two thousand men.
其余的人转身向旷野逃跑，往临门磐去。以色列人在道路上杀了他们五千人，如拾取遗穗一样，追到基顿又杀了他们二千人。
46 And all that fell of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew sword in that day: all these were men of might.
那日便雅悯死了的共有二万五千人，都是拿刀的勇士。
47 And the rest turned, and fled to the wilderness to the rock of Remmon, even [six] hundred men; and they sojourned four months in the rock of Remmon.
只剩下六百人，转身向旷野逃跑，到了临门磐，就在那里住了四个月。
48 And the children of Israel returned to the children of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword from the city of Methla, even to the cattle, and every thing that was found in all the cities: and they burnt with fire the cities they found.
以色列人又转到便雅悯地，将各城的人和牲畜，并一切所遇见的，都用刀杀尽，又放火烧了一切城邑。
