Judges 2
1 And he went up [the] angel of Yahweh from Gilgal to Bokim. And he said I brought up you from Egypt and I brought you into the land which I swore to ancestors your and I said not I will break covenant my with you for ever.
主的神諭 上主的使者從基耳加耳上到波津說：「我使你們由埃及上來，領你們進入了我向你們祖先所誓許的地方；我曾說過：我永不廢棄我與你們所立的盟約，
2 And you not you must make a covenant to [the] inhabitants of the land this altars their you will pull down! and not you have listened to voice my what? this have you done.
你們也不可與這地方的居民結約，且要拆毀他們的祭壇。但你們沒有聽從我的聲音；你們這是作的什麼事﹖
3 And also I say not I will drive out them from before you and they will become for you sides and gods their they will become for you a snare.
為此我現在說：我必不把他們從你們面前趕走，他們為你們將是陷阱，他們的神要成為你們的羅網。」
4 And it was when spoke [the] angel of Yahweh the words these to all [the] people of Israel and they lifted up the people voice their and they wept.
當上主的使者對全以色列子民說這話時，百姓便放聲大哭，
5 And they called [the] name of the place that Bokim and they sacrificed there to Yahweh.
因此給那地方起名叫波津。他們在那裏給上主奉獻了祭獻。民長時代的史論
6 And he sent away Joshua the people and they went [the] people of Israel everyone to own inheritance his to take possession of the land.
若蘇厄遣散了百姓，以色列子民就各到自己應得的產業去，為佔領那地方。
7 And they served the people Yahweh all [the] days of Joshua and all - [the] days of the old [men] who they made long days after Joshua who they had seen all [the] work of Yahweh great which he had done for Israel.
當若蘇厄在世時，和他去世後，那些見過上主為以色列所行的大事的長老們還在的時日，百姓都事奉上主。
8 And he died Joshua [the] son of Nun [the] servant of Yahweh a son of a hundred and ten years.
上主的僕人，農的兒子若蘇厄一百一十歲時去了世。
9 And people buried him in [the] territory of inheritance his in Timnath Heres in [the] hill country of Ephraim from [the] north of [the] mountain of Gaash.
人們把他埋在他地業的境內，即在厄弗辣因山地，加阿士山北面的提默納赫勒斯。
10 And also all the generation that they gathered to ancestors its and it arose a generation another after them which not they knew Yahweh and also the work which he had done for Israel.
當那一代人都歸於他們的祖先以後，在他們之後，興起了另一代，他們不認識上主，也不知道上主為以色列所行的事蹟。
11 And they did [the] people of Israel the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and they served the Baals.
以色列子民行了上主視為惡的事，事奉了巴耳諸神。
12 And they forsook Yahweh - [the] God of ancestors their who brought out them from [the] land of Egypt and they went after - gods other some of [the] gods of the peoples which [were] around them and they bowed down to them and they provoked to anger Yahweh.
他們離棄了上主他們祖先的天主，即領他們出離埃及地的天主，而隨從了別的神，叩拜他們四周各民族的神，因此觸怒了上主。
13 And they forsook Yahweh and they served the Baal and the Ashtaroth.
他們背離了上主，而事奉巴耳和阿市托勒特。
14 And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Israel and he gave them in [the] hand of plunderers and they plundered them and he sold them in [the] hand of enemies their from round about and not they were able still to stand before enemies their.
於是上主對以色列大發忿怒，把他們交在強盜手中，叫強盜搶掠他們；將他們賣給育四周的敵人，使他們不能抵抗他們的敵人；
15 In every - where they went out [the] hand of Yahweh it was on them for harm just as he had spoken Yahweh and just as he had sworn Yahweh to them and it was distress to them exceedingly.
他們無論去那裏，上主的手總是加害他們，猶如上主所說的，猶如上主向他們所起的誓，使他們受極大的痛苦。
16 And he raised up Yahweh judges and they delivered them from [the] hand of plunderers their.
上主雖興起民長，拯救他們脫離強盜的手；
17 And also to judges their not they listened for they acted as prostitutes after gods other and they bowed down to them they turned aside quickly from the way which they had walked fathers their to obey [the] commandments of Yahweh not they did so.
但他們仍不肯聽從他們的民長，反而與外邦的神行淫，頂禮叩拜，迅速地離開了他們祖先所走的服從上主命令的路，沒有照樣行事。
18 And if he raised up Yahweh - for them judges and he was Yahweh with the judge and he delivered them from [the] hand of enemies their all [the] days of the judge for he had compassion Yahweh from groaning their because of [those who] oppressed them and [those who] oppressed them.
當上主給他們興起民長時，上主與民長同在，在民長一生的歲月中，救他們脫離仇敵的手，因為上主聽見了他們受壓迫欺凌發出的歎息，而憐憫了他們；
19 And it was - when died the judge they turned back and they acted corruptly more than fathers their by walking after gods other to serve them and to bow down to them not they let drop any of deeds their and any of way their stubborn.
可是民長一去世，他們又轉而行惡，行為比他們的祖先更壞，去追隨外神，事奉叩拜他們，總不放棄他們祖先的惡行和頑抗的行為。
20 And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Israel and he said because that they have transgressed the nation this covenant my which I commanded ancestors their and not they have listened to voice my.
因此上主對以色列大發忿怒說：「因為這百姓違犯了我與他們祖先締結的盟約，沒有聽從我的音；
21 Also I not I will increase to dispossess anyone from before them any of the nations which he left Joshua and he died.
為此，若蘇厄死後所剩下的民族，我也不再由他們面前，驅逐任何一個，
22 So as to put to [the] test by them Israel ¿ [be] keeping [will] they [the] way of Yahweh by walking in them just as they kept [it] ancestors their or? not.
為試驗以色列是否謹守遵行上主的道路，有如他們的祖先所遵行的一樣。」
23 And he left Yahweh the nations these to not to dispossess them quickly and not he gave them in [the] hand of Joshua.
因此，上主保留了那些民族，沒有迅速驅逐他們，也沒有把他們交在以色人手中。
