Judges 1
1 After Joshua died, the Israeli people asked Yahweh, “Which [of our tribes] should attack the Canaan people-group first?”
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 Yahweh replied, “I will enable the tribe of Judah to defeat [IDM] the Canaan people-group.”
上主說﹕「猶大先上去。看，我已將那地交在他手中。」
3 The men of Judah went to their fellow Israelis, [the men] from the tribe of Simeon, and said to them, “Come and help us to fight the Canaan people-group [in order that we can take from them] the land [that Yahweh] allotted to us. If you do that, we will go with you [and help you] conquer the people in the land [that Yahweh promised to give to] you.” So the men from the tribe of Simeon went with the men of the tribe of Judah.
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 When the men of those two tribes attacked, Yahweh enabled them to defeat 10,000 men of the Canaan people-group and the Periz people-group [DOU] at Bezek [city].
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 During the battle they found Adoni-Bezek, the leader of the city,
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 he [tried to] run away. The Israelis pursued him and caught him. Then they cut off his thumbs and his big 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 Adoni-Bezek said, “[My army captured] 70 kings. We cut off their thumbs and big toes. After that, [we forced] those kings to eat scraps that fell from our table. Now God has (paid me back for/done to me like) [what we did to them].” Then the men of Judah took Adoni-Bezek 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 The army of Judah fought against the men of Jerusalem, and they captured the city. With their swords they killed [the people who lived there] and they burned [the houses in] the city.
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 Later, the men of Judah went down to fight the Canaan people-group who lived in the hilly area, in the desert to the south, and in the foothills [to the west].
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 The men of Judah also went to fight against the Canaan people-group who lived in Hebron [city], which at that time was named Kiriath-Arba. They defeated [the armies of kings] Sheshai, 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 Then they left that area and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named 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 [Before they attacked the city], Caleb said to them, “If one of you attacks and captures Kiriath-Sepher, I will allow him to marry my daughter.”
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 Othniel, who was the son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him, to become his 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 When Acsah married Othniel, she told him to ask her father to give him a field. [But she decided to ask him herself. She rode to Caleb’s house on her donkey], and when she got off the donkey, Caleb [could see that something was troubling her. So he] asked her, “What do you want?”
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 She replied, “I want you to do a favor for me. You have given me some land in the southern desert, [but it is very dry there]. So please also give me some [land that has] springs of water.” So Caleb gave her some land on higher ground that had a spring, and some land on lower ground that also had a spring.
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 The people of the Ken people-group who were descendants of Moses’ father-in-law left Jericho, which was called ‘The City of Palm Trees’. They went with some of the men of Judah to live with them in the southern desert area, near Arad [city].
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 The men of Judah and their fellow Israelis from the tribe of Simeon defeated the people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Zephath [city]. They completely destroyed the city and gave it a new name, Hormah, [which means ‘complete destruction’].
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 The men of Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron [cities] and all the land that is near those cities.
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 Yahweh helped the men of Judah to capture the hilly area, but they could not force the people who were living in the plains to leave, because [those people had better weapons—] had iron chariots.
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 Hebron [city] was given to Caleb because Moses had promised him that he could have that city. And Caleb forced the three clans descended from Anak to leave that area.
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 people of the tribe of Benjamin could not force the people of the Jebus people-group to leave Jerusalem. So, since that time the people of the Jebus people-group have lived in Jerusalem with the people of the tribe of Benjamin.
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 The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh went to fight against [the men of] Bethel [city], and Yahweh helped them.
若瑟家族也上去攻打貝特耳，上主與他們同在。
23 They sent some spies to [find out everything that they could find out about] Bethel, which was previously called Luz.
當若瑟家族差人去偵探貝特耳時，─這城昔名叫路次，─
24 The spies saw a man who was coming out of the city. They said to him, “If you show us a way to get into the city, we will be kind to you [and we will not kill 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 So the man showed them a way to enter the city. The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh entered the city and killed all the people with their swords, but they did not kill the man [who showed them how to get into the city], and they did not kill 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 That man went to the area where the descendants of Heth lived, and built a city. He named the city Luz, and that is still the name of that city.
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 There were people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Beth-Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, and Megiddo [cities] and in the surrounding villages. [The men of] the tribe of Manasseh did not force those people to leave those towns, because the people of the Canaan people-group were determined to stay there.
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 Later, the Israelis became (stronger/more numerous), and they forced the people of the Canaan people-group to work for them [as their slaves], but they did not force all the people of the Canaan people-group to leave their land.
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 [The men of] the tribe of Ephraim did not force the people of the Canaan people-group to leave Gezer [city]. So the people of the Canaan people-group continued to live with the people of the tribe of Ephraim.
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 [The men of] the tribe of Zebulun did nor compel the people of the Canaan people-group who were living in Kitron and Nahalol [cities] to leave. They stayed there and lived among the people of the tribe of Zebulun, but the people of Zebulun forced them to work for them as their slaves.
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 [The men of] the tribe of Asher did not force the people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Aczib, Helbah, Aphek and Rehob [cities] to leave.
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 So the people of the tribe of Asher lived among them.
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 [The men of] the tribe of Naphtali did not compel the people who lived in Beth-Shemesh and Beth-Anath [cities] to leave, so the people in those two cities continued to live there, but the people of the Canaan people-group were forced to work as the slaves of the people of the tribe of Naphtali.
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 The people of the Amor people-group forced the people of the tribe of Dan to live in the hills. They did not allow them to come down [and live] on the plain.
阿摩黎人強迫丹的子孫住在山上，不讓他們下到平原。
35 The people of the Amor people-group were determined to stay in Heres Mountain and in Aijalon and Shaalbim [cities]. But when the Israelis became (stronger/more numerous), they forced the people of the Amor people-group to work as their slaves.
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 The land where the Amor people-group lived extended from Scorpion Pass [toward the west] beyond Sela [town], up into the hilly area.
厄東人的境界，是從阿刻辣賓山坡直到色拉以上地帶。
