< Judges 1 >

1 After that Ioshua was dead, the children of Israel asked ye Lord, saying, Who shall goe vp for vs against the Canaanites, to fight first 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, Iudah shall goe vp: behold, I haue giuen the land into his hande.
上主說﹕「猶大先上去。看,我已將那地交在他手中。」
3 And Iudah said vnto Simeon his brother, Come vp with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites: and I likewise will goe with thee into thy lot: so Simeon 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 Then Iudah went vp, and the Lord deliuered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands, and they slew of them in Bezek 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 founde Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and slewe the Canaanites, and the 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 But Adoni-bezek fled, and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off the thumbes of his hands and of his feete.
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 Adoni-bezek said, Seuentie Kings hauing the thumbes of their hands and of their feete cut off, gathered bread vnder my table: as I haue done, so God hath rewarded me. so they brought him to Ierusalem, and there 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 (Nowe the children of Iudah had fought against Ierusalem, and had taken it and smitten it with the edge of the sworde, and had set the citie 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 Afterwarde also the children of Iudah went downe to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountaine, and towarde the South, and in the lowe countrey.
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 Iudah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron, which Hebron beforetime was called Kiriath-arba: and they slewe Sheshai, and 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 And from thence hee went to the inhabitantes of Debir, and the name of Debir in olde time was 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 saide, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, euen to him wil I giue Achsah 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 Othniel the sonne of Kenaz Calebs yonger brother tooke it, to whome hee gaue Achsah his daughter 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 when shee came to him, shee mooued him to aske of her father a field, and shee lighted off her asse, and Caleb saide vnto her, What wilt thou?
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 shee answered him, Giue mee a blessing: for thou hast giuen me a South countrey, giue me also springs of water: and Caleb gaue her the springs aboue and the springs beneath.
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 childre of Keni Moses father in law went vp out of the citie of the palme trees with the children of Iudah, into the wildernesse of Iudah, that lieth in the South of Arad, and went and dwelt 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 But Iudah went with Simeon his brother, and they slewe the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and vtterly destroied it, and called the name of the citie 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 Also Iudah tooke Azzah with the coasts thereof, and Askelon with the coasts thereof, and Ekron with the coastes thereof.
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 Iudah, and he possessed the mountaines: for he could not driue out the inhabitantes of the valleis, because they had charrets of yron.
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 gaue Hebron vnto Caleb, as Moses had saide, and hee expelled thence the three sonnes 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 But the children of Beniamin did not cast out the Iebusites, that inhabited Ierusalem: therefore the Iebusites dwell with the children of Beniamin in Ierusalem vnto 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 They also that were of the house of Ioseph, went vp to Beth-el, 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 the house of Ioseph caused to viewe Beth-el (and the name of the citie beforetime was Luz)
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 sawe a man come out of the citie, and they saide vnto him, Shewe vs, we praie thee, the way into the citie, and we will shewe thee mercie.
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 when hee had shewed them the waie into the citie, they smote the citie with the edge of the sworde, but they let the man and all his housholde depart.
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 Then the man went into the lande of the Hittites, and built a citie, and called the name thereof Luz, which is the name thereof vnto this daie.
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 Neither did Manasseh destroie Bethshean with her townes, nor Taanach with her townes, nor the inhabitantes of Dor with her townes, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam with her townes, neither the inhabitants of Megiddo with her townes: but the Canaanites dwelled still in that lande.
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 Neuerthelesse when Israel was strong, they put the Canaanites to tribute, and expelled them not wholly.
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 Likewise Ephraim expelled not the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
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 Neither did Zebulun expell the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol, but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.
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 Neither did Asher cast out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of 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 But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites the inhabitantes of the lande: for they did not driue 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 Neither did Naphtali driue out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath, but dwelt among the Canaanites the inhabitants of the lande: neuerthelesse the inhabitantes of Beth-shemesh, and of Beth-anath became tributaries vnto 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 Amorites droue the children of Dan into the mountaine: so that they suffered them not to come downe to 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 Ammonites dwelt still in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, and when the hand of Iosephs familie preuailed, they became tributaries:
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 coast of the Amorites was from Maaleh-akrabbim, euen from Selah and vpward.
厄東人的境界,是從阿刻辣賓山坡直到色拉以上地帶。
