< Judges 1 >

1 And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel enquired of the Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Chananites, to fight against them?
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 And the Lord said, Judas shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
上主說﹕「猶大先上去。看,我已將那地交在他手中。」
3 And Judas said to his brother Symeon, Come up with me into my lot, and let us array ourselves against the Chananites, and I also will go with you into your lot: and Symeon went with him.
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 And Judas went up; and the Lord delivered the Chananite and the Pherezite into their hands, and they struck them in Bezek to [the number of] ten thousand men.
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 they overtook Adonibezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they struck the Chananite and the Pherezite.
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 And Adonibezek fled, and they pursued after him, and took him, and cut off his thumbs and his great 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 And Adonibezek said, Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their food] under my table: as I therefore have done, so God has recompensed me: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
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 And the children of Judas fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck with the edge of the sword, and they burnt the city with 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 And afterwards the children of Judas went down to fight with the Chananite dwelling in the hill country, and the south, and the plain country.
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 And Judas went to the Chananite who lived in Chebron; and Chebron came out against him; [and the name of Chebron before was Cariatharbocsepher: ] and they struck Sessi, and Achiman, and Tholmi, children of Enac.
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 And they went up thence to the inhabitants of Dabir; but the name of Dabir was before Cariathsepher, the city of Letters.
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 Chaleb said, Whosoever shall strike the city of Letters, and shall first take it, I will give to him Ascha my daughter to wife.
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 And Gothoniel the younger son of Kenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and Chaleb gave him his daughter Ascha to wife.
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 And it came to pass as she went in, that Gothoniel urged her to ask a field of her father; and she murmured and cried from off her ass, You have sent me forth into a south land: and Chaleb said to her, What is your request?
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 And Ascha said to him, Give me, I pray you, a blessing, for you have sent me forth into a south land, and you shall give me the ransom of water: and Chaleb gave her according to her heart the ransom of the upper [springs] and the ransom of the low [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 And the children of Jothor the Kenite the father-in-law of Moses went up from the city of palm-trees with the children of Judas, to the wilderness that is in the south of Juda, which is at the descent of Arad, and they lived with 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 And Judas went with Symeon his brother, and struck the Chananite that inhabited Sepheth, and they utterly destroyed them; and they called the name of the city Anathema.
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 But Judas did not inherit Gaza nor her coasts, nor Ascalon nor her coasts, nor Accaron nor her coasts, [nor] Azotus nor the lands around it.
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 And the Lord was with Judas, and he inherited the mountain; for they were not able to destroy the inhabitants of the valley, for Rechab prevented them.
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 And they gave Chebron to Chaleb, as Moses said; and thence he inherited the three cities of the children of Enac.
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 But the children of Benjamin did not take the inheritance of the Jebusite who lived in Jerusalem; and the Jebusite lived with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this day.
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 And the sons of Joseph, they also went up to Baethel; 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 And they encamped and surveyed Baethel: and the name of the city before was Luza.
當若瑟家族差人去偵探貝特耳時,─這城昔名叫路次,─
24 And the spies looked, and behold, a man went out of the city, and they took him; and they said to him, Show us the way into the city, and we will deal mercifully with you.
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 And he showed them the way into the city; and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and 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 into the land of Chettin, and built there a city, and called the name of it Luza; this [is] its name until 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 And Manasse did not drive out [the inhabitants of] Baethsan, which is a city of Scythians, nor her towns, nor her suburbs; nor Thanac, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Dor, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitant of Balac, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Magedo, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Jeblaam, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; and the Chananite began to dwell in this 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 And it came to pass when Israel was strong, that he made the Chananite tributary, but did not utterly drive them out.
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 And Ephraim did not drive out the Chananite that lived in Gazer; and the Chananite lived in the midst of him in Gazer, and became tributary.
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 And Zabulon did not drive out the inhabitants of Kedron, nor the inhabitants of Domana: and the Chananite lived in the midst of them, and became tributary to them.
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 And Aser did not drive out the inhabitants of Accho, and [that people] became tributary to him, nor the inhabitants of Dor, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor the inhabitants of Dalaph, nor Aschazi, nor Chebda, nor Nai, nor Ereo.
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 And Aser lived in the midst of the Chananite who inhabited the land, for he could not drive him 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 And Nephthali did not drive out the inhabitants of Baethsamys, nor the inhabitants of Baethanach; and Nephthali lived in the midst of the Chananite who inhabited the land: but the inhabitants of Bethsamys and of Baetheneth became tributary to them.
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 And the Amorite drove out the children of Dan into the mountains, for they did not suffer them to come down into the valley.
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 Amorite began to dwell in the mountain of shells, in which [are] bears, and foxes, in Myrsinon, and in Thalabin; and the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy upon the Amorite, and he became tributary to them.
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 Amorite [was] from the going up of Acrabin, from the rock and upwards.
厄東人的境界,是從阿刻辣賓山坡直到色拉以上地帶。
