Judges 3
1 And these [are] the nations which he left Yahweh to put to [the] test by them Israel all [those] who not they had known all [the] wars of Canaan.
耶和華留下這幾族，為要試驗那不曾知道與迦南爭戰之事的以色列人，
2 Only so as to know [the] generations of [the] people of Israel to teach them war only which before not they had known them.
好叫以色列的後代又知道又學習未曾曉得的戰事。
3 [the] five - [the] rulers of [the] Philistines And all the Canaanite[s] and the Sidonian[s] and the Hivite[s] [who] dwelt of [the] mount of Lebanon from [the] mountain of Baal Hermon to Lebo Hamath.
所留下的就是非利士的五個首領和一切迦南人、西頓人，並住黎巴嫩山的希未人，從巴力‧黑們山直到哈馬口。
4 And they were to put to [the] test by them Israel to know ¿ will they obey [the] commandments of Yahweh which he had commanded ancestors their by [the] hand of Moses.
留下這幾族，為要試驗以色列人，知道他們肯聽從耶和華藉摩西吩咐他們列祖的誡命不肯。
5 And [the] people of Israel they dwelt in [the] midst of the Canaanite[s] the Hittite[s] and the Amorite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s].
以色列人竟住在迦南人、赫人、亞摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人中間，
6 And they took daughters their for themselves to wives and daughters their they gave to sons their and they served gods their.
娶他們的女兒為妻，將自己的女兒嫁給他們的兒子，並事奉他們的神。
7 And they did [the] people of Israel the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and they forgot Yahweh God their and they served the Baals and the Asherah poles.
以色列人行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，忘記耶和華－他們的上帝，去事奉諸巴力和亞舍拉，
8 And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Israel and he sold them in [the] hand of Cushan-Rishathaim [the] king of Aram Naharaim and they served [the] people of Israel Cushan-Rishathaim eight years.
所以耶和華的怒氣向以色列人發作，就把他們交在美索不達米亞王古珊‧利薩田的手中。以色列人服事古珊‧利薩田八年。
9 And they cried out [the] people of Israel to Yahweh and he raised up Yahweh a deliverer for [the] people of Israel and he delivered them Othniel [the] son of Kenaz [the] brother of Caleb young more than him.
以色列人呼求耶和華的時候，耶和華就為他們興起一位拯救者救他們，就是迦勒兄弟基納斯的兒子俄陀聶。
10 And it was on him [the] spirit of Yahweh and he judged Israel and he went out to war and he gave Yahweh in hand his Cushan-Rishathaim [the] king of Aram and it prevailed hand his over Cushan-Rishathaim.
耶和華的靈降在他身上，他就作了以色列的士師，出去爭戰。耶和華將美索不達米亞王古珊‧利薩田交在他手中，他便勝了古珊‧利薩田。
11 And it was at peace the land forty year[s] and he died Othniel [the] son of Kenaz.
於是國中太平四十年。基納斯的兒子俄陀聶死了。
12 And they repeated [the] people of Israel to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he strengthened Yahweh Eglon [the] king of Moab over Israel on for they did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
以色列人又行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，耶和華就使摩押王伊磯倫強盛，攻擊以色列人。
13 And he gathered to himself [the] people of Ammon and Amalek and he went and he attacked Israel and they took possession of [the] city of the palm trees.
伊磯倫招聚亞捫人和亞瑪力人，去攻打以色列人，佔據棕樹城。
14 And they served [the] people of Israel Eglon [the] king of Moab eight-teen year[s].
於是以色列人服事摩押王伊磯倫十八年。
15 And they cried out [the] people of Israel to Yahweh and he raised up Yahweh for them a deliverer Ehud [the] son of Gera [the] Ben-jaminite a man impeded [the] hand of right his and they sent [the] people of Israel by hand his tribute to Eglon [the] king of Moab.
以色列人呼求耶和華的時候，耶和華就為他們興起一位拯救者，就是便雅憫人基拉的兒子以笏；他是左手便利的。以色列人託他送禮物給摩押王伊磯倫。
16 And he made for himself Ehud a sword and [belonged] to it two lips [was] a cubit length its and he girded it from under to garments his on [the] thigh of right his.
以笏打了一把兩刃的劍，長一肘，帶在右腿上衣服裏面。
17 And he brought near the tribute to Eglon [the] king of Moab and Eglon [was] a man fat very.
他將禮物獻給摩押王伊磯倫（原來伊磯倫極其肥胖）；
18 And it was just when he had finished to bring near the tribute and he sent away the people [who] bore the tribute.
以笏獻完禮物，便將抬禮物的人打發走了，
19 And he he returned from the idols which [were] with Gilgal and he said a word of secrecy [belongs] to me to you O king and he said hush! and they went out from with him all those [who] stood with him.
自己卻從靠近吉甲鑿石之地回來，說：「王啊，我有一件機密事奏告你。」王說：「迴避吧！」於是左右侍立的人都退去了。
20 And Ehud - he came to him and he [was] sitting in [the] roof chamber of the coolness which [belonged] to him to only him and he said Ehud a word of God [belongs] to me to you and he rose from on the throne.
以笏來到王面前；王獨自一人坐在涼樓上。以笏說：「我奉上帝的命報告你一件事。」王就從座位上站起來。
21 And he stretched out Ehud [the] hand of left his and he took the sword from on [the] thigh of right his and he thrust it in belly his.
以笏便伸左手，從右腿上拔出劍來，刺入王的肚腹，
22 And it went also the hilt after the blade and it closed up the fat behind the blade that not he drew out the sword from belly his and he went out the hole towards.
連劍把都刺進去了。劍被肥肉夾住，他沒有從王的肚腹拔出來，且穿通了後身。
23 And he went out Ehud the porch towards and he closed [the] doors of the roof chamber behind him and he locked [them].
以笏就出到遊廊，將樓門盡都關鎖。
24 And he he went forth and servants his they came and they saw and there! [the] doors of the roof chamber [were] locked and they said surely [is] covering he feet his in [the] chamber of the coolness.
以笏出來之後，王的僕人到了，看見樓門關鎖，就說：「他必是在樓上大解。」
25 And they writhed until were ashamed and there! not he [was] opening [the] doors of the roof chamber and they took the key and they opened [them] and there! master their [was] lying [the] ground towards dead.
他們等煩了，見仍不開樓門，就拿鑰匙開了，不料，他們的主人已死，倒在地上。
26 And Ehud he escaped until delayed they and he he passed by the idols and he escaped Seirah towards.
他們耽延的時候，以笏就逃跑了，經過鑿石之地，逃到西伊拉；
27 And it was when came he and he gave a blast on the ram's horn in [the] hill country of Ephraim and they went down with him [the] people of Israel from the hill country and he [was] before them.
到了，就在以法蓮山地吹角。以色列人隨着他下了山地，他在前頭引路，
28 And he said to them pursue after me for he has given Yahweh enemies your Moab in hand your and they went down after him and they captured [the] fords of the Jordan to Moab and not they permitted anyone to pass over.
對他們說：「你們隨我來，因為耶和華已經把你們的仇敵摩押人交在你們手中。」於是他們跟着他下去，把守約旦河的渡口，不容摩押一人過去。
29 And they struck down Moab at the time that about ten thousand man every stout [person] and every man of strength and not he escaped anyone.
那時擊殺了摩押人約有一萬，都是強壯的勇士，沒有一人逃脫。
30 And it was subdued Moab on the day that under [the] hand of Israel and it was at peace the land eighty year[s].
這樣，摩押就被以色列人制伏了。國中太平八十年。
31 And after him he was Shamgar [the] son of Anath and he struck down [the] Philistines six hundred man with [the] goad of cattle and he delivered also he Israel.
以笏之後，有亞拿的兒子珊迦，他用趕牛的棍子打死六百非利士人。他也救了以色列人。
